Great song for dancing to! It gave me shakes in my knee-bones and tremors in my thongs.

Beautiful choice FF. Dreams really do come true. I used to sing that song when I was little and I always thought it said "weigh a pie". It wasn't until many years later someone informed me what the actual lyrics were. I still think it works quite well both ways.

True you can never go wrong with a good pie

Soooo I do not think this is Akida, but the new Microsoft HoloLens 2 is cool and something to keep an eye on perhaps? Used by Mercedes, Toyota, NASA, Carnegie Mellon Uni, US defence Force among others. The website states the lens contains a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 compute program SOC, cooling is passive (no fans) and other specs (all means mumbo jumbo to me).
I thought of Magikeye when I started reading but who knows. Anyways here is the link if interested in having a read.

Last but definitely not least cheers to everyone for all your research and time.

The new features in version 2 do seem impressive! I’ll also admit some of the specs are mumbo jumbo to me as well

HoloLens 2 vs HoloLens 1​

• Increased field of view.
• More ergonomic.
• Instinctual hand gestures that allow you to touch and manipulate holograms.
• Eye tracking.
• Voice commands in multiple languages.
• Improved hardware that incorporates an AI coprocessor.

This song in my opinion fits this journey and this is the ultimate performance:

Really enjoyed that

Social media ‘likes’ do they in and of themselves tell us anything worthy of being used to make an investment decision. The answer is a raging NO.

The use of the ‘like’ button is completely meaningless or so full of subtext that it is still meaningless unless you canvass the person who hit ‘like’ as to why they did so.

I am sure at least once a day just as I do you will read a post here with multiple ideas expressed therein and one of the many ideas will appeal for some reason but the others not so and you give a ‘like’ because either you can’t be bothered posting or are pressed for time or you just don’t post.

Anyway the following linked article gives a little insight into the meaningless world of likes and their subtext. One of the subtext meanings I find interesting is where a ‘like’ is intended to convey good luck with that plan loser.

Have you ever asked yourself could Rob Telson have tried to sell AKIDA to one of these companies and was knocked back so his ‘like’ is intended to convey good luck with your outdated technology you loser:

Here's What a "Like" Really Means on Every Social Media Platform

If the rise of social media has taught us anything, it's that humans are lazy and would rather click a button than put a sentiment into words. The ultimate example of this phenomenon? The like. While the deceptively simple purpose of the "like"…

www.mic.com

So in the absence of something substantive my view is ‘likes’ are meaningless no matter how many are given unless there is something which clearly explains the reason for giving the ‘like’.

My opinion only DYOR

First a company like Renesas signs a licensing agreement, then pays money


Or a company like Megachips signs a licensing agreement, then pays money, then also may sell licensing agreements and pay more money

BEIJING (Reuters) - High-profile universities and state-run research institutes in China have been relying on a U.S. computing chip to power their artificial intelligence (AI) technology but whose export to the country Washington has now restricted, a Reuters review showed.
U.S. chip designer Nvidia Corp last week said U.S. government officials have ordered it to stop exporting its A100 and H100 chips to China. Local peer Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) also said new licence requirements now prevent export to China of its advanced AI chip MI250.

The development signalled a major escalation of a U.S. campaign to stymie China's technological capability as tension bubbles over the fate of Taiwan, where chips for Nvidia and almost every other major chip firm are manufactured.
China views Taiwan as a rogue province and has not ruled out force to bring the democratically governed island under its control. Responding to the restrictions, China branded them a futile attempt to impose a technology blockade on a rival.
A Reuters review of more than a dozen publicly available government tenders over the past two years indicated that among some of China's most strategically important research institutes, there is high demand - and need - for Nvidia's signature A100 chips.
Tsinghua University, China's highest-ranked higher education institution globally, spent over $400,000 last October on two Nvidia AI supercomputers, each powered by four A100 chips, one of the tenders showed.
In the same month, the Institute of Computing Technology, part of top research group, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), spent around $250,000 on A100 chips.
The school of artificial intelligence at a CAS university in July this year also spent about $200,000 on high-tech equipment including a server partly powered by A100 chips.
In November, the cybersecurity college of Guangdong-based Jinan University spent over $93,000 on an Nvidia AI supercomputer, while its school of intelligent systems science and engineering spent almost $100,000 on eight A100 chips just last month.

Less well-known institutes and universities supported by municipal and provincial governments, such as in Shandong, Henan and Chongqing, also bought A100 chips, the tenders showed.
None of the research departments responded to requests for comment on the effect on their projects of the A100 export curb.
Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment. Last Wednesday, it said it had booked $400 million in Chinese sales of the affected chips this quarter which could be lost if its customers decide not to buy alternative Nvidia products. It also said it planned to apply for exemptions to the new rules.
REPLACEMENTS
The lack of chips from the likes of Nvidia and AMD is likely to hamper efforts at Chinese organisations to cost-effectively carry out the kind of advanced computing used for tasks such as image and speech recognition.
Image recognition and natural language processing are common in consumer applications such as smartphones that can answer queries and tag photos. They also have military uses such as scouring satellite imagery for weapons or bases and filtering digital communications for intelligence-gathering purposes.
Experts said there are few Chinese chipmakers that could readily replace such advanced Nvidia and AMD chips, and buyers could instead use multiple lower-end chips to replicate the processing power.
Reuters could not locate any Chinese government tenders mentioning the other two restricted chips - Nvidia's H100 and AMD's MI250.
But some of the tenders showed, for instance, chip purchases from U.S. technology firm Intel Corp and proposals for purchasing less-sophisticated Nvidia products, underscoring China's reliance on an array of U.S. chip technology.
One tender in May showed the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, a research institute of the Ministry of Natural Resources, considering an Nvidia AI supercomputer to improve its ability to create three-dimensional images from geographic data.
"The proposed NVIDIA DGX A100 server will be equipped with 8 A100 chips with 40GB memory, which will greatly improve the data-carrying capacity and computing speed, shorten the scientific research process, and get scientific research results faster and better," the tender read.
The National University of Defense and Technology (NUDT), which describes itself as a "military university" and "under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission", China's top military body, is also among the buyers of A100 chips.
The NUDT, home of Tianhe-2, one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, has been on a U.S. blacklist since 2015 due to national security concerns, eliminating the university's access to the Intel processors it uses in its supercomputers.
One May tender showed the institute planned to buy 24 Nvidia graphics processing units with AI applications. The tender was published again last month, indicating NUDT had not yet found the right deal or supplier.
NUDT did not respond to a request for comment.

All of our engagements with defence/government imply that if the initial missions/projects/research is a success, and BrainChip gets a tick - these devices will need to be produced somewhere.

That's where infrastructure like that of Synopsys comes into play. It will be a cloud based service that will let customers in the DoD/GOV/etc choose IP and produce a chip or SoC - then send it securely to a foundry to be manufactured.

Spend some time going through the Microsoft Azure thread and reading about RAMP.

https://www.eetimes.com/dod-ramps-secure-chip-design-effort/

If Brainchip can worm its way into this bundle, which I think there is a good chance given the sheer number of gov/dod engagements we have, it could be significant. Especially given how war centric our world will be over the next decade (prob longer)

When If Taiwan is invaded, which everyone is expecting, the above infrastructure will light up like a Xmas tree because a huge % of the worlds chip manufacturing capabilities will now be highly unstable or under siege by China and rendered entirely useless. This is the primary motivations for all the large chip manufacturers opening foundries on American soil and why the CHIPS act is so important

Eg.
