Move on, nothing to see.
Have to use the right font though so the I looks like an i and lot like an L.
But interestingly, in their trademark they've gone with all lower case except for the K.

A list of press releases of SiFive over the last few years with links. A very interesting company indeed. The links to Qualcomm that FU Bacon used make get a bit more traction.

In the Greek Alphabet, the letter Kappa, is printed like an English capital K whether it is upper or lower case, so the way ακίδα is printed is correct.

Here is another little piece in video form with a Linus rep doing the SiFive review. While it is about SiFive from probably 2018 note his comments about TSMC and getting a call back and relive the significance of Brainchip getting foundry time before and more importantly after the world wide chip shortage for low volume runs of AKD1000.

Interesting that Intel tried to buy SiFive for 2B 6 months ago and that SiFive wants to go public. Intel is going to need to make some big acquisitions to shore up its future so i would think they will want another bite of SiFive before an IPO. If they can see how good BRN and SiFive work together with Renasis in autonomous driving and with Risc-V moving into phones and datacentres it may be a case of BRN becoming to irresistable to not swallow.

Intel Ends Talks To Acquire Arm Rival SiFive — For Now: Report | CRN
Intel has ended discussions with SiFive about a deal to acquire the chip design startup that competes with Arm, according to a new report.

Interesting forbes article about the foundry state of play in the U.S and more specifically INTEL. Interestingly Rob Telson is a fan too..........
Intel Creates $1B Innovation Fund To Grow RISC-V Market (And Attract New Foundry Customers)
Intel is investing in the Open Source RISC-V cores, the go-to technology for many devices, from embedded controllers to high-performance AI chips from Esperanto.www.forbes.com
System on a Package
Many cloud service providers as well as startups are designing multi-chiplet platforms for workloads such as AI, placing accelerators, CPUs, and I/O dies (possibly from different manufacturing nodes) on a package. “System on a Package” is the new mantra, but there are few companies that have the required technology and available fabrication capacity to make it real. In the old days, Intel saved the underlying technologies such as EMIB for multi-die packages as a differentiator for Intel products. Now Intel is stepping up and making this approach available for all comers. Is Intel becoming Open? Sounds like it to me.
Conclusions
I’ve been in this industry for over four decades, and I am not exaggerating when I say this is perhaps one of the most impactful strategic announcements I have seen. But it may take years to see it pay off for Intel: will long-time competitors decide to trust Intel for critical services and fab capacity? They may not have much choice. The capacity constraints at TSMC and Samsung for advanced process wafer starts may last years. It takes 3 years to build a new fab, minimum so new capacity is slow to come on-line. But nimble companies will see Intel’s commitment and investment in RISC-V as just the force needed to reach a tipping point, and will quickly get in line for wafer start slots at Intel Foundry Services.

Not sure how a personal observation / interpretation / opinion of a listing rule is a whinge.
Personally, I like a company to shout its positive wins to the market especially an early stage start up, regardless of MC.

VentureBeat: Does BrainChip use any of Arm’s IP in its chips? Arm is known for low-power and high performance.
Kang: BrainChip has discussed Arm IP for their product line. Arm processors have built a reputation for low-power based on comparisons to x86-based products. SiFive Intelligence products compare well to Arm products through offering improved performance-per-area of up to 30% combined with a single ISA for simpler programming, and a modular approach that aligns well to working with hardened AI IP such as developed by BrainChip.
VentureBeat: Can you expand upon this statement: “(Brainchip) mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition.”
Kang: This statement refers to the ability of humans to focus on what’s important. For example listening to a conversation in a coffee shop while still registering and acknowledging background sounds. The BrainChip solution will mimic this ability to reduce power and increase efficiency by focusing on the important data being processed. This is similar to, but a step beyond, the adoption of mixed and lower precision data types (INT8 vs FP16) to speed up and improve the efficiency of AI/ML processing.

Maybe with such insights into the future of neuromorphic infrastructure, you could apply for one of their jobs and make those suggestions from the inside?
Maybe it's people like yourself that waste Tony's time and prevent him from drafting meaningful announcements for the ASX, slowing the share price rise and ruining everyone's share value? Just a thought...

Maybe you're right. I might’ve been having HC flash backs of people wanting to change our product name, the colour of the branding, the shape of the box, and then sharing all of this advice with Tony, Peter, and anyone else at the company who is unfortunate enough to have a publicly known position / email address.
I think Peter n crew have done a phenominal job. They are experts. They are motivated. They are all over it. By all means let's talk about this stuff here, but maybe let's leave the guys to focus on their knitting?
