The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is the official humanitarian agency of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Anyone want to speculate why Mr VDM would donate 333333 shares? Perhaps expecting an Sp of 3 dollars in the near future for a nice round number donation?...
Overseas, ADRA works with communities in the South Pacific, Asia and Africa to bring transformative change. Our work is focused in the areas of health, livelihoods, education, and disasters. In Australia, ADRA partners with local churches to run initiatives such as food pantries, community gardens and emergency relief to help those in the community who would otherwise fall through the cracks. When accessing these services, those receiving assistance also find comfort in the companionship of ADRA and church volunteers, creating a stronger sense of belonging within their community.
PVDM trying to do some good in the world.
Good on him.
Now just watch the a'holes over on the crapper drag his name through the mud trying to shed a negative light on it.

As long as someone’s opinion doesn’t affect my own life and lifestyle, they can do whatever they want with their bodily orifices… it’s none of my business. But when a minority believes they have the right to tell me how to think and directly interfere with my life – for example, through financial cuts like tax increases for high earners or the wealthy – while they themselves have their own assets secured, live outside the system, and keep imposing more and more limits on the people, then it is my problem.
So, when a communist who already sits on considerable wealth presents himself as modest and socially conscious, and then thinks he has the right to tell others how things should be run – even though, as finance minister, he was partly responsible for the precarious economic situation of his country due to his unwillingness to negotiate – it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
That goes for all pseudo-leftist actors who portray themselves as some sort of Mother Teresa. Why don’t they give away 70% of their wealth to the people? Exactly… you get the point.

Unfortunately,
A long way to go to reach all time high
Seems like it will never happen, but I know it will, just amazing with all the positive news and partnership's
Just waiting on the dollars
to show up in the financials I think I have gone blind watching them.
This is our year just like last…..
But in all seriousness I am of the belief that it will be 2027 when things really start to move.
A cent here or there is like mah
When we start to move 10 cent plus a day then it’s game on but until then much ado about nothing.

The transferable sensor, works off of a phone app.
"Seems" to be just for wee (maybe wee&poobell was deemed not "catchy") but other sensors, could easily be incorporated.
There are probably several other manufacturers operating/coming online.

Expect them all being dumped straight away, as the recipients are generally don't hang on to shares.
Anyway, I suspect he is giving them away before he gets too old (and while they still have little value).

In this rapidly growing digital era, innovations in edge AI computing are fundamentally transformingautonomous vehicles. In his latest work, Murali Krishna Reddy Mandalapu, a leading expert in automotive computing systems, dives deep into the hardware and algorithmic breakthroughs shaping this fast-evolving landscape.
Data Tsunami on Wheels
Autonomous vehicles generate astonishing amounts of sensor data—up to 19 terabytes per hour. From high-resolution cameras and LiDAR to radar and ultrasonic sensors, the perception systems create diverse data streams that demand fast, synchronized, and accurate interpretation. Millisecond-level timing misalignments can drastically reduce safety, and every 10ms delay equates to critical extra stopping distance. This scale of complexity requires not just fast computing, but intelligent prioritization of tasks under tight energy and thermal constraints.
From GPUs to Purpose-Built Brains
Early autonomous systems used modified consumer GPUs, which, although helpful, were bulky, power-hungry, and inefficient. The evolution brought automotive-grade accelerators with significantly improved performance-per-watt and tailored memory architectures. Today, heterogeneous computing platforms dominate—combining processors specialized for tasks like convolution, sequence analysis, and trajectory planning. These modern platforms deliver up to 94% reductions in energy consumption compared to general-purpose setups, while squeezing 15 TOPS (trillion operations per second) per liter into limited vehicle space.
The Edge-Cloud Tug of War
Deciding where to process data—onboard or in the cloud—. Edge computing excels in latency-critical tasks like emergency braking, delivering response times of just 5–15 milliseconds. In contrast, cloud computing offers vast processing power ideal for compute-heavy operations such as simulations and high-definition map generation. However, it depends on stable connectivity and increases exposure to cyber threats. A hybrid approach provides the best of both worlds: safety-critical decisions are made locally at the edge, ensuring real-time responsiveness, while the cloud handles intensive analytics and storage when bandwidth and conditions allow, optimizing performance and reliability.
Compact, Fast, and Smarter Models
Getting complex AI models to run efficiently on constrained vehicle hardware has led to a wave of smart optimization techniques. Quantization compresses models by reducing numerical precision, slashing memory use and energy draw without compromising accuracy. Pruning trims away unnecessary network weights, while knowledge distillation helps smaller models learn from larger ones, achieving near-equivalent performance. At the frontier is hardware-aware neural architecture search, which automatically tailors models to specific processors, reducing latency by up to 48%.
Neuromorphic Thinking on the Road
Neuromorphic computing is inspired by the human brain, promising a revolutionary advancement in processing which is both energy-efficient and evinces response-like characteristics. In contrast to traditional frame-based systems, this employs event-driven sensors which wake up when something changes, reducing power consumption by as much as 95%. This type of technology works well in ashore dynamic environments with rapid changes and extreme lighting differences-because of example-tunnel exits or driving at night. Microsecond reaction times characterize neuromorphic systems as well as consistent performance in detection at places where conventional sensors fail. They also make real-time processing for sparse-relevant data, making them ideal applications with demanding high speed and low latency under rigid perception in complex situations.
Power in Numbers: Distributed AI
Self-driving systems are utilizing a distributed computing architecture rather than central hubs to improve performance and resilience. An arrangement where multiple processing nodes are scattered throughout the vehicle allows sensor fusion, object detection, and path planning tasks to be executed in parallel, resulting in markedly reduced latencies. This arrangement also increases fault tolerance, since if one node fails, the others can take over, assuring that the system continues to run. Dynamic workload reallocation ensures that the system can adjust appropriately in response to changes in traffic and environmental conditions, therefore optimizing resource use. Spreading the computations among the nodes also creates less heat, an important requirement for thermal management in space-constrained automotive environments, thereby ensuring smoother, safer, and more energy-efficient driving.
Learning While Driving
Autonomous vehicle training data were held static until the traditional AI model was used once and then frozen and left to be used. Continuous learning systems have changed this equation. Accordingly, they allow vehicles to adapt to their new environments and unexpected scenarios. This means vehicles are getting progressively better with time, even in new situations. Federated learning is a privacy-preserving technique that enables vehicles to share knowledge without sharing raw data, thus maintaining user confidentiality and improving system intelligence. Constrained updating ensures safety by preventing major behavioral shifts while at the same time incrementally improving robustness.
To sum up, Murali Krishna Reddy Mandalapu gives a stimulating glimpse into the very near future of self-driving cars powered by edge AI. With advances in neuromorphic computing, distributed architectures, and real-time adaptive learning, the autonomous systems industry is now at a tipping point where it will deploy smarter, faster, and safer technology. These advances incorporate not just technological considerations but also redefine the infrastructure of mobility itself, sculpting a future where vehicles think, learn, and react like never before.
