Ouch at the US markets overnight!
Very nasty. they’ve been up all week though to be fair and we’ve still dumped almost daily. We are clearly in a downtrend at the minute and will have to ride it out. Shorts will get their fill.Ouch at the US markets overnight!
re shorters in general: Not happy Jan! (which I've just discovered comes from a yellow pages ad)Very nasty. they’ve been up all week though to be fair and we’ve still dumped almost daily. We are clearly in a downtrend at the minute and will have to ride it out. Shorts will get their fill.
My grumpy old man theory on Tesla compared with legacy car makers.Tesla really needs akida, i believe ARM, Valeo Mercedes and a few others are truly planning a revolution with akida and it’s capabilities.
“Tesla’s major deployment of so-called Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible actions by a car company in decades,” Nader said in a statement about the autonomous system on his website.
“Together we need to send an urgent message to the casualty-minded regulators that Americans must not be test dummies for a powerful, high-profile corporation and its celebrity CEO. No-one is above the laws of manslaughter.”

Grumpy old Violin says, in respect to your comment about spelling and grammar being optional......"don't even get me started on newborns' names and the way they are spelt" lol.My grumpy old man theory on Tesla compared with legacy car makers.
When I was a boy everyone expected that when you went to the shop and bought something/anything and took it home it would work. It would last and its useable life could be extended almost indefinitely by being repaired using easily obtained replacement parts from the maker.
Then overtime manufacturers were sold the idea they could sell more if they built in obsolescence and reduced availability of spare parts forcing consumers to replace products thereby creating further demand.
The legacy automobile makers followed this model as well.
What did not change however was that the product would work. If it did not work you took it back and they gave you a new one because it was agreed between manufacturer, retailer and customer that this was a bottom line products were not to be sold if all the development and design work had not been completed.
Automobile manufacturers understood this pact well and built private test tracks and vehicles were not sold to the public until they worked. Mercedes, Ford, GMH, VW did not release vehicles to the public until to their belief they were finished and fit for purpose.
Enter the technology age and the idea that technology makers did not have to abide by this pact with retail and consumers. Products were released before the development and testing was complete on the basis that they could simply issue a fix or work around and the idea of using the consumer as the test bed was born.
This approach to manufacturing gained momentum with the availability of the internet and mobile phone and computer manufacturers the tech industry fell in love with the idea of releasing products with flaws and fixing them over the internet if consumers discovered them in their new role as the test bed.
Enter Tesla. It has been said many times that the success of Tesla has been that it has come to automotive from the technology sector unhampered by the old ideas of legacy automotive makers.
One of those technology ideas however was/is that the consumer can be the test driver and as a result you can bring vehicles to market just like mobile phones with faults and work it out later if the consumer picks up the problem.
The problem with this is a faulty phone probably will not kill the consumer but a faulty vehicle is lethal.
Legacy vehicle manufacturers however have decades of culture built up around the concept of vehicle safety and crash testing and not knowingly bringing vehicles to market before development has been completed and expecting consumers to act as test drivers.
As a grumpy old man I personally see Elon Musk as a petulant little boy spoilt by his over indulgent mother who does what he wants and if others get hurt because he does not want to play by the same rules as everyone else well that’s what has to happen.
Elon Musk is the ultimate creative writing project. I am sure the other grumpy old men here will remember when schools decided that teaching spelling and grammar suppressed/repressed creativity and children should just be encouraged to write without these barriers to there creativity. That did not end well as we know.
Mercedes Benz, Ford, GMH, Toyota and VW are not creative writing experiments and as such now that they are completing and releasing EV’s that work as consumers expect they will dominate.
Grumpy old men like me and there are a lot of us have no desire to be Tesla’s crash test dummies and expect that premium car makers will supply vehicles that are finished ready to go and in legalese that are “fit for purpose”.
My opinion only DYOR

I have a last name which can be spelt and heard multiple ways despite it being a very mainstream conservative Anglo surname.Musk features again in this respect
Elon Musk and Grimes raised plenty of eyebrows when they named their first child together X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’). They more recently went on to name their daughter Exa Dark Sideræl (known as ‘Y’). Grimes told Vanity Fair that the name Exa refers to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS, or the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations a second
What a munter

I am going to do a Tech and throw out a clue ‘Spiking Neural Networks and Quantum Annealing’ with NASA.I completely agree @Fullmoonfever—AI, the edge, and even neuromorphic computing proliferate all those trends.
And I learnt a new concept “QuantumAI“. That sounds real interesting. Yay I have a new concept to understand and in which to look for companies doing bleeding edge research. I expect Archer Materials may be one such company; the CEO Mohammad Choucair is a very clever fella, and runs a highly progressive company. Not to mention they already have a quantum chip!
It’s a pity that a trading scam using the name already exists.
I do like QuAIL though—Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab—and the idea of using quantum computing to assist machine learning. I expect that might be the extent of it.
Will there ever be a CNN or even a SNN of quantum processors. In a way, that is sort-of how quantum computing works—every conceivable answer to a problem is computed in parallel and then a voting or weighting system declares the most appropriate answer. You are not guaranteed to get the same answer each time, but the answer you do get will still be correct!
And we all thought WANCAs were having a hard time understanding Akida.
Hi FF,I have a last name which can be spelt and heard multiple ways despite it being a very mainstream conservative Anglo surname.
I have often wished that I had been blessed with a last name like ‘Jones’ or ‘Chan’.
I have lost years of my life correcting people with ‘no it’s a ‘u’ not an ‘o’ and there is a ‘d’ after ‘e’ and there is an ‘s’ on the end.’

Yes and if you apply this theory to the development of AKIDA you will find that what we have with Brainchip runs contrary to the current technology development paradigm.FF, love the way you're thinking here.
This is my opinion only so could be way off the mark but I think the old saying that the younger generations generally wants things here and now could very well fit into the points you've raised.
For any advanced technology to come to fruition takes time and as you're saying accuracy and therefore safety plays a major part. These days I feel with all this exciting technology happening, people's excitement also grows but their levels of patience declines because they want all this exciting stuff now.
With Tesla trying to do things a few years ahead of what the companies such as Mercedes will be doing in say 2024/25, falls in line with how the general public are wanting the here and now. Maybe Elon Musk is intentionally taking advantage of the way people think here, and as you were saying that safety and accuracy therefore takes a back seat knowing fully well he can get away with it.
However, his time will come ie.2024/25 when Akida has entered the arena!
Suppose you could also train it detect drunken husband who lost his keys..
Spikes rule:I am going to do a Tech and throw out a clue ‘Spiking Neural Networks and Quantum Annealing’ with NASA.
This could be a ‘black hole’ or the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.
