I think the Dwampyverse on some level is kind of a family affair. It's so cute how much the creators families grew into it.

Like on a purely in universe standpoint we have all the characters who are named for IRL family members of Dan and Swampy. Isabella is named for Dan's older daughter, Lil' Sparks Melissa, Melissa Chase (and probably Tia Meli) are named for his younger daughter Melissa. Django and Jenny Brown are named for Swampy's kids (their last name Brown could have come from Swampy's grandfather). Linda and Tiana are named after Dan's sisters. Ferb is named after a friend of Dan and Swampy's and based off of Swampy's uncle. Adyson Sweetwater is based on Swampy's granddaughter. Ferb and Lawrence being British comes from the time Swampy spent in England. The fact Phineas and Ferb are step siblings also comes from Swampy's own childhood. The Grant-Gomez family is inspired by Dan and his wife and being a half-Venezuelan family. The large age gap in the Grant Gomez family (and likely between Jeremy and Suzy) is due to Dan's own large age gap with his sister. The premise of enjoying summer vacation came from his mom. Perry's double life is inspired by a cat Dan had.

But then out of universe, their IRL family is involved too. Django has voiced Balthazar Horowitz, some of Ferb's cousins, and Chad Van Coff among other minor characters. Meli voices Gretel of course, and Alex/Isa Povenmire sings "I'm the Bomb" along with doing temp voices. Not to mention Olivia Olson, daughter of Phineas and Ferb writer and Songwriter Martin Olson voiced Vanessa, sang a lot of other songs for the show, and Olivia is now writing for the Phineas and Ferb revival, so that's basically come full circle.

This was sort of inspired by Gretel, voiced by Meli Povenmire, quoting a memed Doofensmirtz line, who is voiced by her father Dan Povenmire. I don't think she was even born when Phineas and Ferb first came out. And now she and her sister are now teenagers, which Olivia was when she first got involved on Phineas and Ferb. And now Olivia's writing. That's kind of crazy.

setting all the valid reasons aside, the biggest reason why i loathe tiktok is that compared to the volume level of literally everything else, every single tiktok i've ever attempted to watch has been 500% louder.

like, jumpscare, hurts my ears loud if i got the volume up to begin with. they're so fucking loud a part of me gets why apparently people watch tiktoks on speaker in public. i wouldn't want that kind of noise beamed directly into my ears, either.

(i don't want that kind of noise blasted into my ears from tinny phone speakers either. or any other unnecessary noise. be courteous to others in public.)

Pitt/Hamilton production embedded within the show will be a first for F1 Domenicali | 2023 F1 season

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says a Hollywood movie production crew will begin shooting an F1-based film “very soon”. A spokesperson for the Silverstone circuit confirmed to RaceFans it is among the venues where filming will take place. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is consulting on the new movie project, directed by Top Gun: Maverick director Joe Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Actor Brad Pitt will star in the film, acting as the main character. The untitled project will be the first Hollywood-produced movie around the world championship since 2013’s Rush, which focused on the 1976 title battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The upcoming film will centre around an original story based in the world of modern Formula 1, rather than fictionalised retelling of a real-life F1 story. Speaking at a recent investors’ call, Domenicali said that the movie project demonstrated F1’s desire to attract a media audience beyond ‘Drive to Survive’, its popular Netflix documentary series. “[It’s] another way to show what we want to do, something different,” said Domenicali. “When we started the collaboration with Netflix, the community said ‘what’s going on? This is not our place to be’. And now we understand the power of it. “We added the very strong presence with social media, making sure that all our drivers and teams are very active in promoting the sport. And that’s another tool with the movie they’re going to be produced. We’re going to start the shooting in Silverstone very soon. “It will be the first movie where basically they will be within the show, within the racing event. It will be quite invasive. In terms of production it’s something that we need to control in a way, but it will be another way of showing that Formula 1 never stops.” Full details of exactly how the production will be embedded within Formula 1 events have yet to be announced. It will likely draw comparisons to John Frankenheimer’s 1966 film ‘Grand Prix’, some of which was shot at races that year. Frankenheimer captured footage was from live Formula 1 sessions. Some cars were fitted with early examples of onboard cameras during practice sessions to capture additional material.

Unconventional Approaches in Embedded Hardware Design: What’s Really Changing?

The field of embedded hardware design has long been seen as highly specialized, with a focus on optimizing performance, reducing power consumption, and ensuring reliability. Traditionally, engineers followed well-established patterns, adhering to industry standards for board layout, component selection, and interfacing with software. However, in recent years, unconventional approaches are emerging, driven by new technology requirements and the need for more efficient, scalable, and adaptive systems. These shifts are not only reshaping the way we think about embedded systems but also pushing embedded hardware design companies to rethink their development strategies.

Rethinking Form Factors and Materials

One of the key areas where embedded hardware is evolving is in its physical form. Conventional designs have often been constrained by the standard dimensions of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and the limitations of traditional materials. However, advances in flexible and stretchable electronics are enabling entirely new possibilities for embedded hardware design projects.

These developments involve materials such as flexible substrates, which allow circuits to bend, twist, or fold without breaking. This can be crucial for applications in wearables, medical devices, and even certain aerospace technologies, where space and adaptability are critical. With these new form factors, embedded hardware becomes more versatile, accommodating designs that fit seamlessly into the human body, vehicles, or cramped industrial environments.

For embedded hardware design services, this shift means thinking beyond the rigidity of conventional components and adapting to a world where hardware needs to conform to increasingly demanding applications.

Open Hardware Platforms: A New Path Forward

Another significant trend shaping the embedded hardware design & development process is the adoption of open-source hardware platforms. While software development has seen a surge in open-source projects, hardware has been slower to embrace this trend. However, the growing interest in platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone is changing that landscape.

Open hardware platforms provide pre-designed, modular systems that can be customized for specific applications. This shift is lowering the barrier to entry for startups and smaller embedded hardware design companies, which may not have the resources to develop systems from scratch. By using open hardware, developers can quickly prototype ideas, reducing time to market while ensuring flexibility.

AI and Machine Learning at the Hardware Level

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are usually discussed in the context of software, but they are starting to play a role in embedded system hardware design as well. Traditionally, embedded systems relied on predefined algorithms for data processing. But with the integration of AI, hardware is becoming more adaptive, capable of adjusting itself in real-time based on environmental conditions or operational feedback.

Edge computing is a perfect example of where this trend is having a significant impact. Instead of sending all data to the cloud for processing, embedded systems can now handle complex AI tasks locally, thanks to more intelligent hardware architectures. These architectures are optimized to run AI models efficiently, without the need for heavy computational resources.

Power Efficiency Through Energy Harvesting

Embedded systems have always been designed with power efficiency in mind, particularly for applications where changing batteries frequently isn’t practical, such as remote sensing, medical implants, or IoT devices. Traditional power optimization strategies focus on minimizing energy consumption through low-power states or more efficient algorithms.

However, energy harvesting is emerging as a game-changer for embedded hardware design. By capturing energy from ambient sources like light, heat, or motion, devices can potentially operate indefinitely without external power sources. This capability drastically reduces maintenance costs and extends the operational life of embedded systems in remote or inaccessible locations.

Energy harvesting technology is still evolving, but it holds great promise. As more embedded hardware design companies integrate this technology into their designs, it could fundamentally change the way we think about powering devices in the future.

The Rise of Custom Silicon

Custom silicon, particularly application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), is gaining traction in the embedded hardware design & development world. Instead of relying on general-purpose processors or microcontrollers, more companies are designing custom chips tailored to their specific needs. This approach allows for greater optimization, both in terms of performance and power efficiency, as the chip is designed precisely for the intended use case.

This trend is particularly evident in high-performance applications such as cryptocurrency mining, AI acceleration, and telecommunications, where standard off-the-shelf components can’t deliver the required performance. Custom silicon can also improve security, as companies can integrate hardware-level protections directly into the chip.

Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

As embedded systems become more complex, embedded hardware design projects are increasingly benefiting from collaboration across multiple disciplines. Mechanical engineers, material scientists, software developers, and electrical engineers are working together more closely than ever before. This interdisciplinary approach allows teams to tackle problems holistically, considering all aspects of the system, from the physical constraints of the hardware to the software that drives it.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration also opens the door to more innovative solutions, as professionals from different fields bring unique perspectives and expertise to the table. This trend will continue to drive forward the capabilities of embedded hardware design, enabling more sophisticated and integrated systems.

Conclusion,

The embedded hardware design industry is undergoing a transformation as new materials, open platforms, AI integration, energy harvesting, custom silicon, and cross-disciplinary collaboration reshape the field. These unconventional approaches are pushing the boundaries of what embedded systems can achieve, offering more efficiency, adaptability, and intelligence. For companies involved in embedded hardware design services, staying ahead means embracing these changes and rethinking traditional approaches to meet the demands of future applications.
