Will GenAI kill the analog SNN?
Just revisited the Roadmap video.
At 22:30 in his roadmap video Jonathan Tapson mentioned in an aside that BRN has some pending patents for reducing data movement from memory.

Analog SNNs greatest advantage is in-memory compute, ie, the MAC calculation hardware includes the memory transistor cells (ReRAM/MemRistors/etc.).
Tapson mentions that most of the energy is used in moving the data around. GenAI now includes an arrangement (some more secret sauce until the patent docs are published) which either reduces or eliminates this advantage. Given analog's various frailties, this will make Akida 3/GenAI even more attractive compared with analog alternatives.
Some competitors, such as Qualcomm have opted for a hybrid analog/digital arrangement, so if they have put all their eggs in that basket, there's room for others to trump their tech by adopting Akida 3/GenAI.
I think another major takeaway from the roadmap is the adoption of INT16 and FP32. As Tapson explains, this means that any available model is now a "drop-in" match for the coming Akida architectures. [Aside: my guess is that analog would struggle with anything greater than 4 bits].
Instruction-based architecture is yet another major advance. This increases the versatility of future Akida processors.
GenAI is already in FPGA. Sean has commanded the production of a silicon version within a year.

I'm Spartacus!
On Friday I sent him an email saying welcome and congrats etc and asking if he could look into providing a copy of the recent AGM.
Just got an acknowledgement response and assume a reply will be forthcoming.

No "news" of note and yet easily the highest volume day this month? (excluding the near equally high near the start).
Maybe, something to do with pent demand, due to the Public Holiday?
Or, has "someone" sniffed some news?..
Hey @7, we "are" the speculators!
But yeah I know what you meant..
And yes, any "real news" will easily take this a bit beyond 40 cents and more, depending on how much substance it really has..

I’ll call it a nice midweek green… it soothes the soul, even if it’s just a snapshot. I’ll lean back and enjoy the color for a while… ahhhhhh, what a sight
Have a sip
Ah yes… it all sounds so nice… but once again, we’re just watching from the sidelines… aren’t we? No one really knows anything for sure.

Just opened my Nintendo 2 and I can confirm that Brainchip is in it!
It even has a training package for users.
I have no idea how to use these things, but very nice surprise! Can't believe there was no asx announcement
Happy with the purchase. Highly recommend JB Hi-fi Parramatta. Very helpful staff that knows there stuff!
Akida forever!

Needs a catalyst for that, it's not going to just "happen" because it looks pretty as a pattern on the chart.
But a catalyst is well and truly overdue.
I say Big News this week, or maybe next.
Or possibly the one after that

Guess I need to start learning more about these things you guys call... what's the word??
Oh yeah, "fundamentals". Have to look that one up

Copy that, thanks Esq.
This kind of thing can actually happen with stocks that have dropped without real reason but are still generating revenue ….they become oversold and then recover. But I don’t see that happening in our case, since we have no income and it’s quieter here than in the Sahara! Even there, the dunes shift once in a while!
For a rebound to happen, we’d need some kind of announcement that really grabs the market’s attention…or at least convinces investors and potential buyers enough to start buying.
If it were to suddenly shoot up out of nowhere, I’d be skeptical.
But you know what??? F…it! YEAH!!!!
Evening 7fur7,
For what it's worth... personally bought yet another a small parcel , 250,000 units the other day.
OBVIOUSLEY NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE , but FUCK IT ... UP IT.
Always, play within ones means.

I'd love it to be yeah because I could really do with a holiday but need to sell shares to go on one.
Unfortunately I think it will be nah without news so my daily grind will continue.

This is exactly the sort of selective reasoning I live my life by!No no no, don't look up "fundamentals" especially ours..

"The ascending triangle is
generallydefinitely a bullish chart pattern. It indicates that bullsare regaininghave the upper hand and are pushing the price higher. They willaimgetfora breakout to the topside as the wedge narrows down. The ascending triangle is considered to be a continuation pattern to much higher levels"

In all seriousness though, I don't think we need some crazy announcement to move a little from here - the green beer goggles are usually enough. I'd bet a cheeseburger with extra pickles that we are over $0.27 by Friday.
