## Summary

Intel researcher Junko Yoshida explains the company's neuromorphic Loihi chip system, scaled to 768 chips and 100 million neurons (comparable to a naked mole rat), which uses spiking neural networks for low-power edge computing. Amir Sherman of Arrow Electronics discusses 'Embedded to Go,' a virtual conference featuring partners like STM and ON Semiconductor, offering free development boards to attendees. Ben Feist, creator of the 'Apollo 13 in Real Time' website, details how he synchronized historical NASA audio and video to recreate the mission's timeline, highlighting the engineering rigor of the flight controllers.
