Breaking News- new BRN articles/research

[Krustor]

Thanks greenwaves for posting the link. When I ran it through a translator it says

'BrainChip Holdings from Australia, which is known for trading up to 10 million shares per day, will also be there.'

As a native speaking German to word "Umsatz" (= turnover) in the article is not making a lot of sense and may have caused the misunderstanding: Translated word to word would mean: "They have a turnover of up to 10 Million shares per day".
The author better should have written: "Up to 10 Million Brainchip-shares have been traded per day."

Yes - it’s a very curious inclusion because the rest of the article is quite accurate.

Can anyone contact Doris Stockle and ask where she got that figure from.

You may have tried this already, Google In3st.de, takes you to the German Magazine. You have to translate. I think it’s a translation issue.
Cheers
Update, Author has corrected ‘Sales” to “Shares”

Came across this random article about Neuromorphic computing..............Judging by the main picture they used as the teaser I'd say it'd probably be worth a read................Unfortunately you need to pay to access the whole article

What’s So Exciting About Neuromorphic Computing

The human brain is the most efficient and powerful computer that exists. Even after decades and decades of technological advancements, no computer has managed to beat the brain with respect to efficiency, power consumption, and many other factors.

Has anyone else noticed that there are slight differences in the pcb in the article compared tot he one on the Brainchip website. Aside from the colour of the pcb, there seams to be slight layout differences, and in particular the chip is rotated by 180 degrees?

Not following, sorry. The pic of the board in the article and on the BRN website look identical.

I think you could be right. i've had another look at the pic in the article and I noticed most of the components are missing - you can mainly see the solder pads. Its probably one of the early photo's of the pcb, and the akida chip is probably photoshopped in and that may explain why its upside down.

the blue one "is" photoshopped...

see the little white triangle on the blue PCB (bottom right of the chip socket)

that is where the angled corner of the chip should line up, which is also generally defined by a dot on one corner of a chip as well , as you can see on the real pic (GREEN PCB)

Putting white triangle mark on PCB chip sockets has been a standard way of telling you the orientation of how a chip should sit in the socket so you don't be a noob and bend pins, in the old days....has been a tried proven method for over 30 years.

that white triangle should align with the chip corner with the "dot" on it. as you see it does in the green PCB, its basically the noobs way of making sure your putting the chip in the socket correctly.

the corner of a chip with a "dot" on it is generally also used to identify Pin1.

Anybody have any idea what they are talking about or maybe it's just an error in translation?

Volume

 

[Worker122]

Volume

The author has amended text to show it should be “shares”

 

[Foxdog]

As soon as i receive the info on how to invest i will let re interested parties know via message. But im definitely going to be in.

Me too please MD, thanks for your efforts

Brilliant research generously shared. Many thanks Jason greatly appreciated. FF

Interesting research paper, the university is linked to a few groups so I am not sure who the research was for yet. (if anyone)
StereoSpike: Depth Learning with a Spiking Neural Network

Federal University of Toulouse - France
The last line of the conclusion mentions Brainchip Akida.

Abstract Brief
"Depth estimation is an important computer vision task, useful in particular for navigation in autonomous vehicles, or for object manipulation in robotics."

Conclusion Brief
4.4.1 Target Hardware Our model has resolutely been developed in the philosophy of spiking neural networks. As a result, it is essentially implementable on dedicated neuromorphic hardware,such as Intel Loihi [3], IBM TrueNorth [1]. These chips can leverage the binarity and sparsity of spike tensors navigating through the network. In addition, we believe that our model being feedforward and requiring a reset on all of its neurons at each timestep is not a problem, because resetting membrane potentials is actually less costly than applying a leak. Therefore, statelesness can be seen as an advantage over recurrence in spiking models with similar performances. However, we are aware that current neuromorphic chips are initially designed for the implementation of stateful units, and acknowledge that we do not leverage this feature. Consequently, we believe that it rather fits to dedicated hardware for stateless models with sparse activations quantized on 1 bit. We therefore consider that Brainchip’s Akida chip [35] is a good fit.

Awesome, not that I understood one word of it, LOL, but good to hear Akida mentioned positively.

That university is huge!! 17.000 staff and 100.000 students, I never thought a university could be that big so I learned something today, I given up on the research paper.

It is.... I'll have to do some more digging tomorrow but they have an AI and deep learning research facility which is linked closely with another facility that has European defence, government and Airbus as partners. Trying to find research that links to a global Corp, would be nice to see.


on another note; Monash Uni, Victoria... not to far off for an Australian uni

Hi foxdog, this round is closed. But when i hear of next will let u know

Looks like the Big Tech companies are continuing on their big shopping sprees.

Microsoft the latest, wanting to very much get into the cybersecurity area.

"Microsoft isn't the only tech company on the hunt for deals. With interest rates likely headed higher over the next few months, other cash-rich tech firms may be propelled into action."

Microsoft is on a buying binge. Here's what it could buy next

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been going on a major shopping spree. Now there are reports Microsoft is looking to buy Mandiant, the cybersecurity software firm formerly known as FireEye that is currently valued at about $4.5 billion.

Daily turnover in $ (aka. $value traded). Approx. calc is median price * volume. The reason they mention the persistently high turnover is to indicate the degree of insto and retail interest.

The fact that they used the phrase 'sales per day' would only mean they're unlikely to be traders/investors themselves. Not a problem necessarily, but still unusual.

Something I've been thinking about is Neuralink. They made one of their rare updates on YT late last year. If ever there was a need for a cool- running, low power edge chip, that would be it. Brainchip powering a human-computer interface device would make sense. I've heard Musk's Neuralink team develop their own hardware, but is their any inkling of interest from those quarters?
