BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

The one thing that Cerence + Smart Eye + Mercedes all have in common is NVIDIA DRIVE IX.

• Nvidia worked with Mercedes-Benz on MBUX Hyperscreen.
• And there are the vehicles running Nvidia-powered Cerence Look using eye-tracking from Smart Eye, such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS.
• #25,287
• The article (link) below states:
  • "Using NVIDIA GPU technology, Smart Eye has been able to speed up its cabin-monitoring system — which consists of 10 deep neural networks running in parallel — by more than 10x"
  • "In-vehicle technology companies Cerence, Smart Eye, Rightware and DSP Concepts are now using the platform to deliver intelligent features for every vehicle occupant."

Confused? So am I, but there's a reason why it has been suggested that NVDIA are more like a partner to us, than a competitor.

Inside AI: NVIDIA DRIVE Ecosystem Creates Pioneering In-Cabin Features With NVIDIA DRIVE IX

Cerence, Smart Eye, Rightware and DSP Concepts are now using the DRIVE IX platform to deliver intelligent features for every passenger.

Just remember Rob Telson did not say Nvidia “are” a partner he was talking future tense.

Otherwise I don’t disagree with your many posts about Cerence, Nvidia etc;

I do think it can be simplified if as 99.9% of genuine Brainchip shareholders now believe AKIDA technology is being integrated for Spiking Neural Network processing by Mercedes Benz in partnership with Brainchip.

Logically a Mercedes Benz passenger vehicle is like a bucket of water. If I pour in red, blue, green, orange and purple dyes they will be mixed together to create one cohesive coloured liquid.

So if your take the same Mercedes Benz passenger vehicle and pour into the bucket Samsung, Nvidia, Cerence, Nviso, Valeo, Brembo, Bosch and Brainchip they are all going to be mixed together into one cohesive electronic unit.

In other words they all have to work together to achieve this and they need to become compatible one with the other and this cannot be achieved in isolation.

The only question remaining in my opinion is which of the companies in the Mercedes Benz bucket having established compatibility with Brainchip’s AKIDA technology solutions will say ‘Hey Brainee how about we catch up for a drink at my place after we finish working here and I will show you my IP library.’

Rob Telson has hinted at Nvidia rubbing his leg under the desk giving every indication of being interested in a future meeting and possible partnership.

Valeo is an old flame who has become a friend with benefits.

Prophesee is a passionate suitor.

Nviso is a star struck geek who will do anything for a kind word.

Bosch is standing back because AKIDA is its best mates girlfriend and remains unsure of when to make a move.

Samsung swore off relationships years ago and is tempted and standing strong but for how long?

Brembo is being Brembo and has applied the brakes on a serious relationship until their comparability is fully proven outside the laboratory.

That's what I've been thinking dude

We might have to find more liberal places to live..

If something like that were to happen though, you'ld think there would have to be an exemption date on shares and property bought before a certain date?..

If not AA and JC will be looking for a new goverment vehicles

That was the case when they enacted the capital gains tax.
It wasn’t retrospective.
Neither is the proposed increase to 30% (up from the current 15%) on earnings on amounts of 3 million + held in super.
And, they are seeking a mandate before imposing it.

I imagine it would be next to impossible to impose anyway. In Tassie, they wanted to try and tax gambling due to David Walsh (Mona museum) because he won so much money. Of course, it has to go both ways. If you're paying tax on the way up, are you claiming losses when things decrease? Surely any gain would have to be materialised to be taxed?

Someone hates the idea of Labor getting a second term and guess who that is? Labor.

Everyone who votes in this country has shares and property or has a close relative who does from whom they hope to one day inherit the property or shares.

Take the demutualised NRMA a huge number of those members who received shares in IAG apparently still hold them. Telstra is another one. There are many examples this idea will cause Labor to be thrown out at the next election.

Just look at what their proposal to remove franking credits for superannuation fund members did and this was a much smaller class of voters or so they thought until their families became outraged as well.

If they want more tax they need to go after the corporate sector simple not shoot ordinary Australians because their easy targets.

As alluded to the super rich will use tax havens. How many Australian companies will head off shore and list elsewhere so wealthy shareholders can change their domicile and ignore the ATO. I bet Atlassian will decide that the US is where it’s eggs should all be.

This sounds like a confluence of opportunities:

"They had been out talking to customers for a year or two already, had had significant customer engagements, and these customers were starting to get to the point of actually wanting to do actual designs with these products."

"They" being BrainChip and Quadric had engagements with customers who were wanting to create designs in silicon, and MegaChips fits the bill.

https://brainchip.com/brainchip-partners-megachips-develop-next-generation-ai-solutions/

BrainChip Partners with MegaChips to Develop Next-Generation Edge-Based AI Solutions​

Laguna Hills, Calif. – November 21, 2021 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), (OTCQX: BCHPY) a leading provider of ultra-low power high performance artificial intelligence technology and the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI chips and IP, today announced that MegaChips, a pioneer in the ASIC industry, has licensed BrainChip Akida™ IP to enhance and grow its technology positioning for next-generation, Edge-based AI solutions.

A multibillion-dollar global fabless semiconductor company based in Japan, MegaChips provides chip solutions that fulfill various requirements, including low power consumption, cost and time to market, while achieving breakthrough functions and performance by fusing knowledge of Large Scale Integrations and applications for problems in device development. By partnering with BrainChip, MegaChips is able to quickly and easily maintain its industry innovator status by supplying solutions and applications that leverage the Akida revolutionary technology in markets such as automotive, IoT, cameras, gaming and industrial robotics.

“As a trusted and loyal partner to market leaders, we deliver the technology and expertise they need to ensure products are uniquely designed for their customers and engineered for ultimate performance,” said Tetsuo Hikawa, President and CEO of MegaChips. “Working with BrainChip and incorporating their Akida technology into our ASIC solutions service, we are better able to handle the development and support processes needed to design and manufacture integrated circuits and systems on chips that can take advantage of AI at the Edge.”

BrainChip’s Akida technology brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that existing technologies are not capable. The solution is high-performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities. Due to its flexibility and scalability, the Akida (NSoC) and intellectual property can be used in applications including Smart Home, Smart Health, Smart City and Smart Transportation. These applications include but are not limited to home automation and remote controls, industrial IoT, robotics, security cameras, sensors, unmanned aircraft, autonomous vehicles, medical instruments, object detection, sound detection, odor and taste detection, gesture control and cybersecurity.

“The MegaChips and BrainChip partnership furthers both company’s missions to push boundaries and offer unprecedented products,” said Rob Telson, BrainChip VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. “By providing Akida’s on-chip learning and ultra-low power Edge AI capabilities as an integrated technology in MegaChips’ ASIC solutions, we are able to deliver a cascading array of benefits to cutting-edge products that not only ensure power efficiency without compromising outcomes but can run autonomously for incremental learning without the need to go back and forth to the cloud. This is an exciting collaboration from both a business perspective as well as from an industry-altering aspect.”

So this is a symbiotic relationship:

BrainChip has the Akida IP,
BrainChip has customers wanting to incorporate Akida IP into their products,
MegaChips has expertise in LSI ASIC chip production,
MegaChips takes a licence to incorporate Akida IP into ASICs,
BrainChip refers customers to MegaChips to produce ASICs including Akida IP for the customers,
MegaChips produces ASICs including Akida IP for BrainChip customers,
MegaChips pays royalties to BrainChip for the ASICs produced including Akida IP.

The last year or so has not been conducive to expansion in the semiconductor industry (government subsidies aside), but the MegaChips statement cited by @stuart888 shows that there is a backlog of chips to be produced and that it has been over 12 months in the pipeline. I suggest you stand away from the end of the pipe.

The only question remaining in my opinion is which of the companies in the Mercedes Benz bucket having established compatibility with Brainchip’s AKIDA technology solutions will say ‘Hey Brainee how about we catch up for a drink at my place after we finish working here and I will show you my IP library.’

Rob Telson has hinted at Nvidia rubbing his leg under the desk giving every indication of being interested in a future meeting and possible partnership.

Jim Chalmers is doing more than changing the way we tax super – he is also changing the way we tax capital gains

In drawing up plans to more effectively tax large superannuation accounts, Treasurer Jim Chalmers might have stumbled upon an idea that, applied more broadly, could tax rich Australians like the rest of us, writes Peter Martin.

www.abc.net.au

The Henry Review said collecting tax only on "realisation" (when assets were sold) rather than "accrual" (as they grew in value) encouraged investors to hold on to shares and property to delay paying tax — a response it called "lock-in".

This is pretty sucky for us, as this article is saying we could have to pay capital gains tax, on the increase in "value" of shares and property..

It will certainly be a bit of a leveler..

So if BrainChip has a breakout year, due to traction in revenue, NASDAQ listing, multiple IP deals etc, for that tax year.

Then you will have to pay Capital Gains tax, for that year, regardless of whether you sold shares.

In our case, these gains could be substantial and the only way to pay, will be by selling shares or other assets.

The tax man sucks eggs..

This is an absolutely unworkable proposal - I don't believe this is politically possible and would be an electoral disaster for the ALP in my opinion (Shorten lost an election running with not dissimilar policies - I'm really disappointed to see this Govt is just the old Shorten platform in disguise - if they really want to increase revenue go and tax big business and stop crucifying the middle class).
