BRN Discussion Ongoing

[FabricatedLunacy]

Morning FabricatedLunacy,

There is two incredibly informative posts / threads including everything you are looking for in one screen.

1, Thread title: Tip of the ICEBERBG.
Created by BaconLover.

&

2, Brainchip AKIDA Partners, Licensees, Speculative Theories & Supporting links.
Created by Neuromorphia.

Both extremely enlightening.

Regards,
Esq.

Brilliant!! I was sure with the “amount of clever” in this chat there would be something like that!! Will check it out this afternoon.

Edit: oops sorry and a big thank you of course!!

 

[FabricatedLunacy]

Just had a quick sneak @BaconLover and @Neuromorphia threads …

That’s amazing! Only did a very quick browse. Scratched the tip of the iceberg if you will

Also Akida.Io is fantastic!

Grateful for this community here.

I like the comment from JJ about the factory guy sticking his hand on the machine and knowing that something will break soon and that it's funny that it's been one thing that's taken longer to solve.
And to sense the real world (in an embedded edge device) in the way that IoT promised.

Hi Alwaysgreen, it is my opinion…and my opinion only, that the company would be talking about the Nasdaq all the time and are ultimately planning for this as the ducks line up.

As for hitting $4 a share price ($7 billion market cap give or take), it’s not that far away, if the company signs a contract with a household name, starts bringing in revenue, which is all within 12 months, I think you’ll find $4 highly achievable.

Sean’s comments himself said the market cap should be way higher, and he is saying that with the confidence of knowing what is going on behind the scenes and what is about to unfold imo.

IMO I believe Valeo and Mercedes will license our IP in the back end of 2023 once they go into production, them 2 alone are worth at least a few billion dollars added to the market cap, if you have read the Brainchip automotive white paper then you would have read that Jerome Nadel has said that akida can be in potentially up to 70 sensors….crazy revenue!

We need to get into those 70 sensors first though. We aren't quite there yet!!

NASDAQ listing will require resources and while we are still pre any decent revenue, I wouldn't want our precious $$$ spent on this. I'd rather the labour required be allocated to additional sales managers or the marketing budget.

NASDAQ listing seems like an unnecessary waste of money to me at this stage of our life cycle imo.

My personal experience with an ASX listed company shifting to the NASDAQ was a disaster. Trying to communicate with the company and with Computershare US, which still operates using snail mail, from Australia was a nightmare. The business ended up in receivership and trying to sort out what happened to my share holding took months of emails and direct calls at midnight, ended up lost everything. Many lessons learned and a very sour taste about NASDAQ listing.

I realise it will happen eventually, but it is expensive and I hope it does not happen in the near future. When it does happen I won’t agree unless it is a dual listing on ASX and NASDAQ.

Right place, right time, right Technology, right team, right leaders - Brainchip Inc

The number of active sensors in households, factories, smart cities and even people’s wrists is growing at a tremendous rate. It’s estimated that the amount of data generated in 2025 will be well over 175 zettabytes.


The capacity to carry all this data from its sources to conventional, core data centers doesn’t exist, and the chances are that it never will. Currently, roughly 10% of enterprise data is already processed outside a traditional data center or cloud. According to Gartner, that figure could reach 75% by 2025.


Given these numbers, the status of edge computing and the edge cloud technology that’s an integral part of it has evolved from an innovative idea to an urgent necessity. It’s time for companies to turn their attention away from futuristic use cases hyped in the media and focus on the practicalities of deploying and operating the infrastructure required to deliver new services that are in increasing demand right now — services that can provide ROI in an acceptable time frame. This means focusing on the edge.

Today, it was Saturday in Germany, I licked my wounds, because of the 10% minus, I would never sell, then I thought to myself, ok, there is not really great news to report at the moment and then I just have it expanded my network on LinkedIn with the question "I would connect with you, regards ...." when I read all the posts about the nasdaq listing today, ok, a summer slump, I think for me that such a listing, is really out of the question at the moment and it's also not important, as one of you has already written, after Q2 is before Q2, ok and now I'm looking forward to the weeks, months and years that lie ahead of us again and looking forward to it me on this path with you

Graduation Project: Driver Distraction and Drowsiness Detection

For almost eight months, I and my team have been working on this project which we thought might have a significant impact on everyone's life. Almost no one hasn't faced a situation where they lost someone they love or care about because of a car accident.

Brief Project Description:
There are two submodules in our system:
1. One for distraction detection in which there is a wide-angle camera mounted on the car side that streams frames to the deep learning model that predicts different sorts of distraction (texting, talking to the passenger, ... etc) as a regular classification model.

2. Another one for drowsiness detection in which there is a camera mounted in front of the driver's face that streams the frames to a face detection model then another model detects eyes landmarks. We take these landmarks and calculate Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) and if it's lower than a certain threshold, it means that the driver is drowsy.

The core logic is that if the driver is distracted or drowsy for 2 continuous seconds, the driver will be alerted. Moreover, if the driver is still drowsy or distracted for another 2 seconds, the car will auto-break.

We managed to deploy our system on Nvidia Jetson Nano 4GB while having 4 FPS. We can get more FPS by using another chip with more computing power such as Jetson AGX Xavier or Jetson Orin. The system costs ~6000 EGP.

IMO anyone with technical knowledge (& time) can build this and that's why this space is very competitive but it's difficult to build one with low power consumption + done at the edge which is when brainchip comes in handy with close to no competitors IMO

[0027] Another theoretical way to utilize more compute modules is to compute multiple output channel tiles in parallel. However, this may be undesirable since input values and weight values may be 8-bit, but output values may be 32-bit, and therefore requires significantly more memory than other forms of parallelism.

I'd be interested to hear from others here who have had a company they owned on the ASX do a dual listing or shifted to NASDAQ?
i.e.
Is there a standard procedure or is it an Ad Hoc, case by case affair?
Was there an initial spike in share price followed by a decline in value as often happens with IPO's here in Oz?
After a year or so, are people happy with the result?
Are the ASX holders in any way second class citizens?
Any other relevant observations as above from Bigfella would be appreciated.
PS thanx rocket for highlighting this post, somehow missed it yesterday.

 

[Kachoo]

That's the thing Ahboy

The institutions loaning the shares are long long.

They are accumulating.
Loaning for shorting, is how they get an immediate return on their investment, with the double benefit, of accumulation at lower prices.

As their positions grow, so will the quantity of shares available for shorting.

Shorting will be done at higher and higher levels though, by burning through and using the shorters, as fuel, to get to each new level.
But obviously the Company needs to do its bit too, with continuous improvement and progress.

They are doing that, but people are focused on the "day to day" action..

That's why I believe BrainChip, will one day have a monstrously large market cap.

You look at the Market Cap, of any large Tech Company and it has been largely built on "these games" combined with Market Confidence, in the underlying company.

Tesla had an incredible Market Cap, well before they were ever profitable.

That's why Elon Musk, made so many jokes about them..

It's funny, in that if shorters didn't exist, we would never reach the price levels, that we will.

You have hit the nail on the head DB.

It's a game for bug institutions. They can open up 500 small companies separate entities and accumulate share with out breaking the disclosure under an umbrella. Then buy out that company or merge what ever they see fit.

If we look back in the history of BRN or past the financal backer where hard working Australians. There was limited venture capital money put in (highly rich) venture capitalists don't usually lose and they missed the free growth from the 3 to 7 cent range as brn was under the radar.

The games will be played till the shake out the retail Investers with limited knowledge or understanding of AKIDA and what it really mean to the globe. Thanks to the 1000 eyes all the highly intelligent contributors that have tried to help educate us less knowledgeable folks that may have stumbled across a quick gain and moved on and forgot about this one. Once they feel they have enough shares they can let the tiger out if the cage. I know it sounds like a huge conspiracy but if this is what we have the 4th industrial revolution then they will get thier share.

Believe me it's frustrating to see 6 figure drops 5 to get drops or 4 figure drops what ever your level of investment is. I feel a lot of the anger towards thIs games as some people have expected returns too soon I'm one of these people but I have evaluated my personal finance plan and decieded to keep working on hard at my other stuff before I venture off to new things. This was planned for 2022 now it may be 2024 but life is never a straight road. I have made peace with my plans so I'm happy don't like the drop but what can I do.

So I do think some anger pushed on one another is the frustration and helplessness we feel to the high volitility. So that said we need to check ourselves in and realize we are all on the same team. A team can win better then individuals. Sometimes people leave the team for various reasons sometimes we have players that use us for a better return but you know what in the end all of us will win.

I will highlight the investment side of the argument has the company shown signs of growth and traction for comercialization yes. It's slow I agree but I also don't know what other companies speed of implementation will be. I know for a fact if you have a shit product in inventory you still would sell it all until you can implement the next gen. As that would be financial waste. Also you may have previous agreements you need to fulfill prior to moving forth. As long as your direct competition does not have this problem you will play that game. So these delays may not be anyone's fault at BRN.

The top 20 yeah it could be published it should we were told. If I was really concerned I would ask where the registry is and go view it and put my efforts into it. Can we say BRN is dogging that yes but what's there reason we don't know and won't we never know and likely will not. Sorry but we all have control of the top 20 if you put an effort. For my if t there was a place to view the registry in Brisbane I would but I believe it's only in Sydney would that be correct.?

Anyway the company is moving ahead hiring and growing I'm happy to wait and see what 2023 brings 2022 is more than half way gone.

Have a good remainder of the weekend folks

@chapman89 my calculator broke just on that many sensors let alone my convo with PVDM chatting about their are up to 300 sensors on a automobile , so if we get a number between 70 and 300 , I'm gonna need another wider calculator

Happy Sunday fellow brners,

Whatever your going today, here is an interesting read I found.
Read it while your having a cuppa, a whiskey, wine or favourite beer and most of all, enjoy. Whilst i can read the word I have awful trouble pronouncing it lol

Ubiquitous Computing Layers, Examples, Applications

Ubiquitous or pervasive computing aims to connect every object, device, and internet. Learn how it works.

www.spiceworks.com

Another confirmation of the endless possibilities where BrainChip can be helpful.
And @Fact Finder 1% rule (albeit conservative) the mind boggles.
For me the excitement of the next phase of AKIDA and what it may be capable of is something I'm prepared to wait for.
I am fortunate enough to be able to continue to hold onto my shares with anticipation of much bigger things to come.

Hi all,

I was disappointed yesterday.

Especially when reading the constant whining and some of the insults on this Forum.



I choose to maintain a positive healthy frame of mind and I take control of my surroundings to make sure it stays that way.

I’ve recently started ignoring some people as its exhausting reading their negativity.



Obviously I don’t want to be in a room full of confirmation bias either.

Honest, robust discussion about the company is preferred; and we don’t all have to agree on everything to get along.

Different points of view are appreciated. But let’s lose the insults please.



The share price is always going to look like a heart rate ecg; preferably on an incline.

We all know price will go up… and down.

Yesterday hurt all long term holders but it has no consequences on the success of the company.



In my opinion we have hired brilliant, qualified people to manage the company. They are highly skilled in their fields.

We’re all armchair experts; however these people actually have the skill set, experience, ambition and determination necessary to steer our company to success.

We’ve heard them all speak. It would be disrespectful to suggest they’re all not passionate and working hard for the success of this company!

We know the company has the top of class, first to market neuromorphic processor.

We know there is a growing market for the product.

We know we are in the early stages of commercialisation.

I am confident we are de-risked so over the long term the company should become profitable which will make the SP grow.

We already have some massive partners who are going to help grow the company:
Arm, SiFive, Edge Impulse, NVISO, PROPHESEE

We have awesome customers including Mercedes, NASA and VALEO, RENESAS.

If, as we suspect Akida is to be used in Valeo’s Scala III Lidar then all we have to do is wait for it to be released in 2024 and the price will skyrocket. I would not want to be listed on the NASDAQ until then. I want to enter the NASDAQ as a winning company with strong revenue in great demand!

I read somewhere recently there are up to 70 sensors on a new vehicle: that is a massive market potential of which we are in the box seat!

We all should by now understand the importance, both morally, commercially and legally why BRAINCHIP adheres to NDA’s. Success of the company is linked to it. I’m not sure why as shareholders we would want to undermine the company’s strategy which could damage our reputation and impede customer enablement.

In my opinion there are plenty of reasons there to feel secure with your investment.
If you want to feel more confident have a look at Bacon Lover’s Iceberg.
Read all the research UIUX has kindly put forward; it’s awesome.
Review some of FF great posts.

So much work has unselfishly been done by many others on the forum to enable us shareholders to learn about the company. All we have to do is take the time to read it!

I have read their research and logical statements; and I am extremely confident of where we are headed.

Please next week can we discuss and follow the Company, not the fluctuating share price!

Enjoy the weekend good people!

A great and needed post Stable Genius, and your FOCUS is spot on IMHO. The message should calm some troubled soul's, It did mine. I can't stand jitters. I've had enough of them.

I hope no-one minds if I keep banging on about Nvdia Hyperion 8 and Hyperion 9 but if you take a closer look I think you can see where AKIDA might fit into this equation. How else would Nvdia manage double the performance of Hyperion 9 conpared to Hyperion 8, all in the same power envelope?
