## Summary

Junko Yoshida, global coeditor of Aspencore Media, discusses the Boeing 737 Max crashes with editor-in-chief Brian Santo, attributing the failures to Boeing's decision to retrofit engines on an existing airframe and the resulting addition of the MCAS software as an afterthought. Rick Merritt reports on Nvidia's GTC conference, noting the absence of a 7nm GPU announcement, and previews an AI special project featuring insights from Dean Caiman of Cayman AI and HPE regarding the challenges of sensor fusion and neural network models. The episode also covers the U.S. Exascale supercomputer contract awarded to Intel and Cray, and a patent infringement verdict in the Qualcomm versus Apple case.
