BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Esq.111]

Take the calculator and play with your figures. Assume different stock prices and do your calculations.
In my situation, I will have enough money to live very comfortably and stop working with a SP of about 20 EUR, but even only 7 EUR would be enough for a nice place to live in. To improve it further I am still buying more stocks.

I concure, as long as ones holding is below 5% of the floated stock your laughing.

Willy nilly paperwork above such threshold would take the fun out of It.

And no, I'm not at this particular level , though if in a position to do so it would be done.

Nothing is 100% in life , though this is getting horribly close .

Esq.

Something I don't really understand.

If a small electronic/space company wants to buy say 1000 pcs Alkida 2 chips for own in-house development, how do they do it?

I read somewhere that you can buy the 1.0 but not 2?

Most companies will not be interested in buying an IP unless they sell/develop chips themselves but I could be wrong.

When we run out, we'll refer them to Megachips who have a version in 22nm FDSOI (fully depleted silicon on insulator).

FDSOI is more efficient than vanilla CMOS because it has less loss.

Thanks but still only 1.0 or 1500 right?

Was that graphic already commented on? OHB is not a household name … it might become one soon.

At least one forum member appears to have found @Berlinforever ’s post so ridiculous he/she/they felt the need to comment with a ?!

While OHB may not end up becoming a household name in the general public, the emoji poster(s) seem(s) to totally underestimate the parent company’s reputation and significance within the aerospace industry sector: OHB SE (the multinational space and technology group that wholly owns OHB Hellas) is actually one of Europe’s leading space tech companies, headquartered in Bremen, Germany, which is not only well-known for the fairy tale The Town Musicians of Bremen, but also happens to be one of Europe’s hubs for the aeronautics and space industry.

They are right up there with Europe’s aerospace giants Airbus Defence & Space (formerly Astrium) and Thales Alenia Space, fiercely bidding to secure contracts for satellites etc (OHB lost out to both Airbus D&S and Thales Alenia Space in securing the contract for the now ongoing construction of the second generation (G2) of Galileo satellites, after they had been the main supplier for the first generation (https://www.reuters.com/technology/...about-galileo-satellites-contract-2023-04-26/).

In 2018, the Hanseatic city of Bremen even renamed the square in front of the company’s headquarters in honour of Manfred Fuchs (1938-2014), to commemorate the engineer and entrepreneur’s significant contribution to the development of the aerospace industry in Bremen.

Being a household name is not necessarily part of what defines a successful global player. Just think of Arm (especially before the IPO).

We as BRN shareholders should always keep that in mind…

Yes sorry - I was half asleep.

That could be right - it seems there is a mysterious customer (or group of customers) upon whose toes we wish not to tread.

If we cancelled tapeout of Akida 2, then it may be that someone quite large is doing it under NDA - remember "Loose lips sink ships".

Good Morning Frangipani ,

Intense sleuthing as per usual.

Have yet to run up some revised numbers on our four additions to the BRN ecosystem , though OBH has in my view added an additional $0.048 AU to each free floated BRN share.

I'll endeavour to produce a revised BRN share price tomorrow , reflecting the four additions , since the last was on 19 /2/2024.

Regards,
Esq.

Hi IloveLamp,

can’t be us, as CyberSwarm are spruiking analog neuromorphic tech:

 

[Earlyrelease]

Diogenese
Thank you for that post. I was not in the mind space of thinking we pulled our production of the V2 chip because a big player or multiple may have requested we don’t.

So if that is so, Tech’s prediction of some serious announcements prior to Dec may be on the money.

I would predict we see more $1m fees and associated announcements for new comers unless Megachip are behind it. Or an adjustment to Renesas licence if they have stepped up.

Yip interesting times ahead. Let’s hope this Aussie battler company helps a whole heap of Swiss, German, Aussie and other nationalities TSE holders rise from battlers to at least Captains and in some members cases Ogliarch’s cruising the open seas.

May Peter’s vision translate to our good fortune.

Looks like our resident Esq.111 boy, has been playing with their bread board.

 

[cassip]

A method for an unsupervised training of a neural network, the method comprises:
initializing a neural network that exhibits at least one invariance;
performing multiple training iterations until reaching a last training iteration in which a stop condition is fulfilled;
wherein each training iteration except the last training iteration comprises: processing a vast number of media units by the neural network to provide media unit signatures;
finding that the stop condition is not reached, and changing multiple neural network weights;
wherein the stop condition is related to signatures similarities.

ITERATIONS!!!!

There are some new articles about "Autobrain" and their new "Liquid AI":

Autobrains entwickelt Liquid AI für unerwartete Fahrszenarien

(Bild: Autobrains) Mit Liquid AI hat Autobrains eine neue KI-Technologie vorgestellt, die drei Herausforderungen adressiert: Edge Cases, Kosten und die fehlende Wechselwirkung zwischen Perception und Decision-Making.

www.next-mobility.de

"Autobrains develops Liquid AI for unexpected driving scenarios

With Liquid AI, Autobrains has introduced a new AI technology that addresses three challenges: Edge Cases, Cost and the lack of interaction between Perception and Decision-Making.

Liquid AI combines Autobrains' self-learning approach with a modular and adaptive architecture that uses specialized, scenario-based end-to-end networks. "While current technologies perform well in handling conventional driving tasks, they fail in edge cases, unexpected driving scenarios that require special precision. By using our Liquid AI, car manufacturers can close their AI gaps," explains Igal Raichelgauz, founder and CEO of Autobrains.
Overcoming challenges

Today's AI systems reach their limits in edge cases. The countless possible, unexpected driving scenarios are practically unsolvable tasks for these systems. Today's manually trained black box systems lack the ability to recognize special cases. Attempts to solve this problem by feeding the systems with more manually labeled images lead to a loss of traceability and control.
High costs

Tackling real-world driving problems by bloating existing systems with more data, labels, layers and computing resources leads to increased costs and power consumption. For example, to achieve a significant improvement in system accuracy by a factor of ten, 10,000 times more computing resources are required.
Decoupling perception and decision-making

The lack of interaction between perception and decision-making functions also hinders effective and precise decision-making. In order for artificial intelligence to make optimal driving decisions, it needs specific information. However, if details are missing or too complex, precision is impaired, leading to incorrect reactions.
The human brain as a model

The Israeli company is basing its approach on the capabilities of the human brain. This consists of specialized areas that resemble a task-specific, simply structured end-to-end AI. Just as the brain adapts its architecture depending on context - for example, to light and weather conditions, the environment and relevant road users - Liquid AI follows the same approach.

How it works

Liquid AI consists of hundreds of thousands of specialized AI systems (skills), each developed for specific tasks and enabling precise reactions tailored to the respective driving scenario. This specialized AI approach enables scalability ranging from tens to hundreds of skills for ADAS systems, to thousands of skills for higher levels of automated driving, to hundreds of thousands of skills for autonomous driving. In addition, the solution has an adaptive architecture. In contrast to fixed systems, the architecture adapts dynamically to the driving task and only activates relevant modules as required. This significantly reduces power consumption and computing requirements, which leads to cost savings for the SoCs, among other things."

Hallo Doris,

direkter Link zum MB-Event auf der BRN Website - nice find

 

[Frangipani]

Now look at what my Google search on “Brainchip Akida” dug up from the depths of the internet:

The link looked pretty dodgy to me, so I didn’t click on it. Instead, I did another Google search, this time on “C-Leg 4, Kenovo, Genium and Genium X3”, and it turns out they are all microprocessor-controlled knee prostheses by German orthopaedic technology company Ottobock, which according to Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottobock) is considered “the world market leader in the field of prosthetics and one of the leading suppliers in orthotics, wheelchairs and exoskeletons.”

Knee prosthetics

www.ottobock.com

These microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee joints have been on the market for many years now (the C-Leg was the world’s first in 1997, followed by the first generations of Genium (2011) Genium X3 (2013) and Kenovo (2015), with model updates since), but maybe Ottobock figured it was time for an ultra-low power upgrade?!

A quick search did not yield any (other) connections between Ottobock and Brainchip, so I am not sure whether this is a valid dot join or possibly some GenAI’s hallucination (would anyone like to volunteer to click on that link?!).

Employing neuromorphic technology as a means of restoring tactile sensation is definitely something the bionic limbs industry is extremely interested in (not to mention the affected patients!), and of course research of that kind is already being conducted at universities (see the paper below, which @Sirod69 shared with us two months ago), so chances are, the world market leader in prosthetics will have already checked out the available providers of this promising tech and possibly play around with less complicated use cases first.

Wondering what the average amount of shares people hold.
And also I am thinking do I hold enough

What’s the idea amount one should hold

What’s the amount that will see amazing growth moving forward

The ideal amount is directly related to your age and appetite for risk..

"Those who are younger can tolerate more risk, but they often have less income to invest. Those who near retirement may have more money to invest, but less time to recover from any losses. Asset allocation by age plays an important role in building a sound retirement investing strategy".

I "reckon" if you have 100000 shares and you're in your 20's you're going to do quite well.

If you're in your 30's or 40's, 2 to 300 thousand.

50's to 60's, 400 thousand and above.

But it all depends on how successful this Company becomes and how many shares you still own..

There will be many, who would be wise, to never let their kids know, that they "used" to be shareholders in this Company, if it lives up to its potential (which is a dirty word).

Best keep that sort a thing a deep dark secret ...

Hey, just my opinion..
