BRN Discussion Ongoing

It's funny, Boeing doesn't have a real "military" feel to me, more of a passenger jet thing..

Whereas "Lockheed" Martin, has an obvious pedigree.

Makes more sense, when you know that McDonnell Douglas, merged into Boeing, in 1997..
Hi Dingo.
I took your advise and dug a little deeper into the history of Boeing and concede your point that many of the aircraft that earlier paragraph mentions were the products of other companies subsequently absorbed into Boeing.
Although I would hardly call the B17 flying fortress, B29 super fortress or the B52 strato fortress "passenger jet thing's".

I'll let you argue with Boeing as to the semantics of what they claim as "their" pedigree but you can see that after also absorbing Hughes and Northrop and doubtless myriad other smaller fish, over the years, McDonnell Douglas was just part of the picture.

Anyway, Trump seems to think they "feel" military enough so I guess you better fall in line. 🤣
It is a royal decree after all. 🤣

My original post, wasn't intended as a statement of fact, just my "feel" of the name, I guess that's why I used that word..

You're right, absolutely nothing passenger jetty about "those" planes 🙄😛


"The prototype B-17, with the Boeing factory designation of Model 299, was designed by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells, and was built at Boeing's own expense.[12] It combined features of the company's experimental XB-15 bomber and 247 transport."

In the past, we’ve made a lot of speculations about possible connections between our partners and the big players… While I do find it interesting in general, after so many misinterpretations, I’m no longer convinced that this is of any help to us, especially since Arm doesn’t have only BrainChip in its portfolio. I don’t even pay attention to such news anymore. Only when something official comes from BrainChip or when other companies mention BrainChip directly. Otherwise, it only leads to disappointment. And eventually to the dolci syndrome.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still positive and keep buying more. However, these kinds of reports are not decisive for me. It’s like when you were a kid, and someone promised to buy you something or take you to a certain amusement park the next day, just to keep you calm. At some point, you get old enough to realize it was just empty words… The biggest letdown of all: Santa Claus.
What? Are you saying Santa Isn't real? No way! Get the f$%k out of here!

Sadly, Boeing have lost its way years ago.

Before, their planes were extremely well engineered, like the 747.

The Boeing 737 Max have been a total disaster.

Fantastic story from David Perell below, well worth a read.

Sorry for going off-topic but it's weekend eh!


In 2005, Boeing hired its first CEO without aircraft engineering experience. Slowly, the company lost its culture of engineering excellence and adopted one of financialization and cost reduction through outsourcing. To illustrate the dangers of outsourcing, Smith points to the DC-10 aircraft, where the subcontractors made all the profits while the McDonnell Douglas absorbed the excess costs. In the aircraft industry, outsourcing commercial aircraft is likely to backfire. Military aircraft are a major exception because Congressional support is easier to secure when many states are involved.¹

Yeah, but c'mon Guzzi, it was a historic moment for the Company!
Their First coloured, gay, female CEO!



I don't actually know or care, about Boeing's CEO's genetics, sexual preferences, or gender, by the way.

None of what I said or presented here Is about that.

It's about Merit, over Diversity, Equity (where it relates to Merit) and Inclusion.

Well Dingo, if you mean that both passenger planes and military planes tend to have wings, engines and a fuselage you are absolutely correct.
Physics, available materials and engineering techniques as well as intended application tend to dictate the way they tend to be connected.
But none of this has anything much to do with Brainchip so will leave this at that.

“PanocularAI Shows That There’s Another Way

The start-up from Darmstadt has developed a system that runs AI models directly on edge devices—small, energy-efficient devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or robots. With PanocularAI’s technology, these devices can independently analyze their surroundings and respond to changes—without relying on external servers.

“Our AI doesn’t just interpret images; it understands context,” explains Dr. Arya Mazaheri. “With our technology, a robot can recognize whether the person in front of it is a construction worker wearing a helmet or someone trespassing in a restricted area.”

An AI That Runs on Edge Devices

PanocularAI is developing an efficient vision solution for the next generation of autonomous systems.

This environmental perception happens in real time with minimal computational effort—a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize many industries. Lower energy consumption, higher speed, and increased security—since no data needs to be sent to external servers—are the key advantages of this innovation.”

Bravo

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!

Trump says the key to success is a merit-based system. Well, if that’s true, I guess his ”best people“ are just really, really good at being born rich, white and male.

PS: I believe Lockheed Martin is a supplier to Boeing.

There is always going to be a larger percentage of white males, in most pools of personnel resources, so there will always be a higher percentage in those jobs, that fit the bill.

Having DEI policies, for those reasons, will not secure the "best" people for the job.

People should not be "excluded" or "included" based on their genetics, sexual preferences, gender identity or whatever either.

That is why a pure Merit based system, is the best way.

DEI is a policy that "means well" but is BS and destructive to levels of competency, in practice.

Just my opinions 😛

And Trump, has plenty of strong intelligent women around him and in his cabinet, so I'm not sure what the whole "white male" thing is about 🤔..

BrainChip’s Akida platform, another prominent digital neuromorphic processor, is tailored for ultra-low power AI inference at the edge. It employs event-based processing, leveraging hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) principles to achieve highly efficient pattern recognition. The Akida chip is designed to optimize convolutional neural network (CNN) inference while maintaining minimal power consumption, making it suitable for applications such as smart surveillance, autonomous systems, and health monitoring.


Happy as Larry

Here, it would have been appropriate to mention that BrainChip is not only expanding its ecosystem but, while others are still striving for commercialization, BrainChip has already reached that phase and is on the verge of flooding the market with Akida-equipped products… but unfortunately, another missed opportunity to make a strong statement… it’s always the same—how BrainChip is being downplayed, and that’s exactly the problem I have… it’s starting to feel almost like a conspiracy.

Quote
“IBM continues to explore hybrid analog-digital neuromorphic accelerators, while BrainChip expands the Akida ecosystem for low-power AI applications. Emerging startups like SynSense and Innatera are focusing on commercializing neuromorphic AI accelerators for edge computing, demonstrating a growing market appetite for these technologies.”

Let's hope that one of Sean's pre-AGM announcements includes BH's 3U-VPX snap card being adopted by Boeing for the F-47 and GhostBat.

Pretty sure those black servants weren't a merit based hire.........or maybe some think they were 🤔
Apparently the ones chosen by wealthy white women, were.

Gotta love the weekend off the rails chatter from our hopeful Boeing dot, to united airlines diversity to wealthy white womens view vs Trumps view lol And well we all know the difference between Trump and an ordinary white man let alone a black man and it aint money! LOL
Disclaimer: My opinion but I am sure others may have the same opinion. Ok that's my off the rails chatter grouping all of the briefs together. Can't remember who started it but hopefully I've finished it. lol Full stop. Thanks for the laughs over the weekend.
