BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Dhm]

If you get to see this person again (I assume it is Nirav Patel you are talking about), ask him if he knows Andrew Morton, lead developer and maintainer of the Linux kernel. Andrew is also employed by Google. I used to work with Andrew back in the 1990s, we were jogging buddies too. I expect the CTO of the Linux Foundation probably has a working relationship with him. But I digress.

Open source means anyone can write software and others can use it freely. Even better, the actual source code is published in such a way that others can see the actual source code and can even modify it and re-publish it. That happens quite often and is how the community assists itself. This could help Akida uptake as people write software that can utilise Akida’s IP, and then users need to buy a licence, or buy hardware, or pay for IP on which to run their solution.

You probably have seen that software @uiux has been sharing. That’s on a platform that is used for software developers to share their code openly. And that is what @uiux is doing. And uiux’s software can help others work with Akida! At least show them some things that are possible and how simple it is.

For the coding I used to do, we were never allowed to use open source or publish our code as open source. Sometimes we had to work on air-gaped computers in secure internal rooms. It was secret squirrels stuff. I only add that as I expect a lot of companies developing systems utilising Akida may be in the same boat. Their code is the opposite of open-source as their livelihood depends on it. But any open source stuff out there will certainly help with prototyping and proof-of-concept work to show to investors and the like.

My view is that open source is for playing with and testing the waters only. If that is what was meant by “vital to the current evolution of computing” then I agree.

Any real-world, life-critical programs most likely will not contain open source code. The operating system may very well be open source itself, but the applications won’t.

Sly, I seem to have led you astray on the blokes position within the company. He is GM of Visual Media and Games in Florida of the Linux Foundation. I don’t want to mention his name but it is somewhat ‘regal’.

I would imagine that our Akida would add some speed or awareness advantage to games, or am I off the mark?

I think Rob likes all sorts of stuff to make people aware of his/Brainchips presence. It’s an easy way to increase exposure. I would think that whoever controls the accounts may see that he has liked something and wonder more about him with the potential to drum up business.

And the hard way to increase exposure is to get in front of the potential customer, identify their strategic goals and whether their corporate "pain" is related to increasing revenues or reducing expenses. Once he has done that he can determine whether Brainchip's Akida technology offers a cost effective solution to this "pain", and make a convincing case to then close the deal.

Sharing likes from the comfort of his phone or p.c. is easy. Closing a potential customer is hard.

Just sayin,.....dippY

CHIPS act signed.
I would be surprised if Brainchip haven't tried to leverage their technology with big names to benefit from this.

Time will tell i guess

Hi @Zeebot - is it possible to have a thread dedicated to BRN short selling?

Its hard enough to navigate on the BRN Discussion thread as it is due to multiple people posting the same information, not to mention off-topic banter.

According to shortman.com the outstanding shorts on Jun 24 was 4.5%, on Aug 3 it was 4.51%, so nothing to see here ATM.
I am wondering why this fixation continues on the BRN threads.

There will always be people that don’t agree with our own views, that’s just how it is, but it is nothing new. The numbers are fairly steady. Of course, if that was to change, it would be newsworthy.

I have been accused of liking shorters. That is bs. I wish it was illegal but it isn’t.

No doubt I have offended some, that is not my intention.

Anyway, just a request - I have no problem if it is denied.

Are you losing money

Hey Teach22, I'm not sure what you're talking about..
Out of your 7 posts, 3 have been related to shorting, 2 complaining about people discussing shorting and 1, relating to the huge shorting "desperation" attack, on the 28th and 29th of July, you calling it "profit taking"..
(which just happened to coincide, with a 200 to 400% increase in new shorts, on the preceding days).

This is a general BRN discussion thread and I don't see posters, going on and on about shorters..
So I'm not sure what your concern is?

Other than a daily update on the short positions, by Esq.111, which I'm sure is of interest to most and some occasional bashing/humiliation from me, along with a bit of "burn shorters burn" fevor, when we are moving hard, by a few, I'm not sure what you're on about..

I know shorters are a part of every Major Company and we will tread different levels of them, all the way up, but BRN shareholders, in general, enjoy a particular satisfaction, in seeing them come undone.
As they have close to no idea, about the Company, they are playing with.

I'd say your nonchalant attitude to shorters, would be at odds to most here.
I think the general feel of the room, is delight in seeing them burn!

I don't offer any gems of research and only really give my opinions, on what others have posted..
So ignoring me, will pretty much achieve your objectives.

I also believe, that supporting this website for $5 dollars a month, allows you to filter the most popular posts, which will allow you to cut down on your navigation time.

Good Fortune, to All "Share Holders!"

What I think would be interesting to see would be Akidas ability to learn autonomously. There used to be a video using DVS data from inilabs, where Akida would learn to recognise cars on a highway and start to "count" them

I wonder if this could be applied to things in the blood to identify new things that shouldn't be there

Being able to count things really fast when they are hard to count - like the car example has endless uses, like e.g. counting clear capsules being manufactured and looking for production errors; apparently an issue for standard camera tech which gets confounded by the clear curved nature of the capsules as they move on a conveyor belt. Not a problem for DVS event based.

For Fucks sake, this site is now just embarrasing, so many precious petals with their head up their arses, who just have to be right, but sook as soon as they cop a question or differing viewpoint. A Grade cringe

Seems like that was actually his last post because his avatar is deleted. I didn't catch what or who he was so upset about. I must have missed something or not understood

I mentioned yesterday that I met a bloke who worked for the Linux Foundation. I couldn’t understand how ‘open source’ computing works and asked him if RISC-V was similar. Please bear in mind I am a minnow trying to understand the ways of the whales of the industry (of which we are one)
His response: (and any comments by you guys appreciated)

A Shift in Computer Vision Is Coming​

General-purpose neuromorphic processors are lagging behind their DVS camera counterparts. Efforts from some of the industry’s biggest players (IBM Truenorth, Intel Loihi) are still works in progress. Benosman said that the right processor with the right sensor would be an unbeatable combination.

It's interesting how some take a step back and still stay with us. I find that good! Maybe someday the time will come that FF Rise from the ashes.) I begrudge everyone the time out. Yak you are also very welcome from my side. With them there would be already three. But still no Bacon. I find that a pity. So I guess all four of you, no five! Would Filobeddo get his name back if he changed his mind

Quite interesting! Only six months (ok I hold longer) and you are already my pack.

Neuromorphic Device with Low Power Consumption​

Figure 1: The role of RRAM devices in neuromorphic circuits: (a) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of an HfO2 1T1R RRAM device, in blue, integrated on 130–nm CMOS technology, with its selector transistor (width of 650 nm) in green; (b) basic building block of the proposed neuromorphic circuit; (c) cumulative density function of the conductance of a population of 16–Kb RRAM devices, as a function of the compliance current ICC, which effectively controls the conductance level; (d) measurement of the circuit in (a); (e) measurement of the circuit in (b). (Source: “Neuromorphic object localization using resistive memories and ultrasonic transducers,” in Nature Communications)

While traditional processing techniques sample the detected signal continuously and perform calculations to extract useful information, the proposed neuromorphic solution calculates asynchronously when useful information arrives, increasing the system’s energy efficiency by up to five orders of magnitude.

I'm no @Diogenese but pretty sure this is not Akida. It's using a CNN not a SNN.
