Rapunzel and Career Development

Many of you will be familiar with the German folk-tale of Rapunzel — the young lady held captive in a remote tower by a witch who used Rapunzel’s extraordinarily long hair to climb in and out of the lofty chamber in which she lived with her prisoner. Spoiler alert! …

VR headsets: a serious business tool disguised as a games console

I thought that buying a VR headset would be a fun way to turn a crypto windfall into something tangible, and I was not wrong! A modern headset like the Oculus Quest 2 can’t match the graphical realism of a games console, but it makes up for it with a…

AI Adoption & Business value: a lesson from the Ireland of 1908

As a founder of Rigr AI, I’m quite literally betting on Artificial Intelligence to feed my kids. So, you might think I’m expecting AI to be everywhere in about, oh, 5 minutes. My actual view is much more nuanced and heavily influenced by the adoption cycle of earlier general-purpose technologies. …

When is a new company “real”?

Sending a two-line email to my accountant — actually not even my accountant, at this point in the story the extent of our relationship is that we’ve chatted on the phone for half an hour and exchanged a couple of brief emails — I feel like a bit of a…

Why I left a great job to start my own company

Leaving a stellar company like Intel — amazing colleagues, an incredibly broad range of opportunities, six-digit salary and great benefits (#GreatPlaceToWork, more on that here) to start a tiny company is an odd move — so why do it? I can give you a logical-sounding rationale for that — and…

Leaving Intel / “I will always love you”

“Parting is such sweet sorrow” Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet I joined my first INTC-owned Legal Entity in September 2011, when I went to work for McAfee, a wholly-owned subsidiary; during a machine vision project at my previous firm that turned out to require “statistical modelling”. I had gotten hooked on…

Quantum Computers, what are they good for?

It has been generally known for some time that quantum computers can in principle solve problems that are intractable on classical computers — like factoring large numbers to break public-key encryption (companies like Google have already increased the key lengths they use, as a precaution against early breakthroughs). With multiple…

Self -Driving… Chemistry?

“Materials science” doesn’t have quite the pulse-raising associations as, say, “aerospace” or “robotics”. This is a shame! Stone tools — with wooden shafts — were key to the elevation of an ape with rather underdeveloped teeth and claws to the top of the food chain. …

Google AutoML Tables vs XGBoost

Google is the prototypical machine learning company. As a young and hungry startup, they first used “statistical modelling” to correct the spelling of search terms, and they’ve never looked back. These days, they even use machine learning to invent the new the machine learning, mechanising the invention of new deep…
