We tried full on keto for about 6 months but found it too restrictive. We've now switched to Fast 800 which is also a reduced carb program but not as extreme as full on keto. Works well, particularly for my partner who has a couple of conditions that involve inflamed joints - carbs certainly make those problems worse.

Nothing wrong with a good dose of carbs - as long as they are the good ones. They are a must have in my diet as I run about 50-60km/week. I guess it all comes down to giving your body what it actually needs, which isn't always what your brain says you need. :)

We've been here before Bravo dear.
If they can't scare you out of your shares, they'll try this range bound tedious shite.
I think it's from the grey linings playbook or was that fifty shades of boring.
Here's 4 minutes just for you. 🤣

... I'll raise you a neuromorphic engine:

"25:56 know you saw several example of them I chose for this discussion brain chip now I believe that most of you never heard
26:03 about this company it's an IP company that they are selling their IP to the semis but they also have their own chip
26:09 and they are doing a neuromorphic solution now neural network engine need to mimic
26:17 the neural brain
just to make it as simple as possible a neuromorphic engine
26:23 need to mimic a neural blank
[brain] and the neural nervous system" ... Thanks to @Ahboy


.. so you think he's sent down Warnie's zooter by referring to "neural network engine"?
Hi @Diogenese
I just checked my post and have made a correction which I have marked in orange text. (I am certain I used "neuro" first time around but I think the correction was made for me to neural.)

The tell is that when you listen closely to what he says he does not say "neuromorphic' network engine nor does he say 'neural' network engine he labours in his speech and uses the words "neuro" network engine pulling up short of either 'neural' or 'neuromorphic'.

My opinion only DYOR (listening)

PS: I have now listened multiple times on both my phone and on my PC and still hear the same word 'neuro'.

Something else from the Edge Impulse presentation have you noticed how this presenter is happy to compare AKIDA with a Nvidia GPU and states that AKIDA running at 300 megahertz can do what a Nvidia GPU can do running at 900 megahertz and he presents this comparison without any qualification other than if you have a limited power budget you would choose AKIDA.

Nutrition is a pet subject of mine, I almost research it as much as I research the companies I invest in. Please excuse me for extending this non-Brainchip discussion, but hey, we have some time to kill waiting for the year of Akida (aka 2023) to roll around.

Although what you say is 100% correct @Deadpool, there is no way that WHO are going to vilify carbs. There is just too much money involved. Notice how shipping grain out of Ukraine was one of the “important” news items.

But then also, not all carbs are bad, and equally, not all fats are bad either. Moderation is the key.

Fruit and grains forming the base of the food pyramid has nothing to do with good health, and more to do with consuming products that were overly abundant, easy to transport, and profitable to farm.

The food pyramid was never about keeping us healthy. It was about making corporations healthy.

Eating too much (bad) carbs. The epitome of a 1st world problem. We tend to easily forget that more than half the planet is malnourished. But that is yet another 1st world problem. And yes, I do hate that phrase, but it fits so well.

We all know better, but we tend to reach for comfort first. It is the easy way out. Especially when it is just a short walk to the fridge, or even less to phone in a home delivery.

A little discomfort is good in so many ways. Your body actually needs discomfort, otherwise it forgets how to function properly. Healing is the first thing to go—it’s not just a natural consequence of ageing!

I practice intermittent fasting (18-20 hours a day of consuming zero calories) and have also done extended fasts - only 3 to 10 days (typically 1-2 per month, depending on duration). When fasting, I feel so much more alive and have more energy. I actually no longer like the feeling of being full.

For those interested in doing some research, it is amazing for your well-being. My go to expert is Jason Fung. First thing to understand is the important role of autophagy.

I read somewhere that some of the exclusionary diets can leave the consumer short of essential nutrients (EN), so I designed an EN ready-reckoner which correlates the foods consumed with the ENs so that missing ENs can be readily identified.

Surprisingly (to me), it is possible to design a diet with a handful of ingredients which will supply all the ENs.

And some of our listeners will be pleased to know that that short list can include wine.

This would be lovely leading into Xmas! I can't understand how it's not Brainchip - Snapdragon's reliance on ARM IP (with all the media attention over our Arm partnership recently), multiple AI processors, always on camera... and the sudden increase in performance?? It may be wishful/biased thinking on my part.... but c'mon... where's that "communication" company announcement?!? Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is hitting the market... a price sensitive announcement from BRN along with that would be a pleasant surprise! Maybe a Mercedes style plug in the launch tonight? Maybe I'm dreaming?

There has been no material announcement on the ASX regarding Qualcomm/Snapdragon etc so I highly doubt it.
Maybe one day we will have a license agreement with ARM and Qualcomm and an earth shattering Announcement.

:love: ................... just for you @Bravo , bought a top up parcel of 150k @.64c, ......................... hope that helps, ...............:love:
Makes sense right? We were trading higher than this when the MB news broke, and of course we all know our ongoing story
is getting better all the time.

G'day Sly,

Same for me, I probably send too much time because it is such an easy rabbit hole to disappear down.
You will know all the names operating in this space but for others reading this my usual go to guys are Ben Bikman and Robert Lustig.

How to relate this to Akida?

Rates of metabolic illness are skyrocketing. In the 1980s it was estimated there were around 30 million people with type 2 diabetes, today that number is estimated at 460 million. As our health gets worse I can see wearable health trackers like continuous glucose monitors becoming very popular. Not everyone reacts to food the same way, 2 people could eat the same meal and have different blood sugar levels afterward. Knowing what foods to avoid is a good start.

Lustig sees value in cgm but says they don't tell enough of the story. What you need is a device that can measure insulin levels instead as that would show how efficiently the insulin is working.

Big food and pharma will protect their turf to maintain the status quo. Money to be made out of human misery.

I think wearables will do well.

AKIDA BALLISTA
The most astounding take-away, in hind-sight is that he claimed:

akida IP is for complex systems, where you have many different trained neural networks working together - Akida will sort out which trained network to consult in any given circumstance to give you the answer.
This is what we have discussed in the past - Akida will be good for everyone (NVIDIA, Apple etc etc) because it will integrate all the NN's.

This may also explain why it is taking BRN some time to announcements - we need to wait for the other NN's to be created and trained. Then Akida comes to the rescue and integrates them all.

This is why Mercedes is so important for us. The MB.OS ( whatever it's called) must have akida because it will integrate disparate signals from driver's eyes to failing braking squeals. Once the world has seen how and why it works, others will follow.

In my youth, Toyota always closely followed mercedes. ( I drove an old Crown for many years). I wish Lexus would, again.

PS: I have now listened multiple times on both my phone and on my PC and still hear the same word 'neuro'.
I thought I would appeal to the independent arbiter:

30:52 with the German company called baloof and ready robotics for machine learning on manufacturing you know adding machine 30:58 learning to the robots so then you know exactly the positioning and you know for 31:03 a wearable application they are a company called No watch that literally doing no watch it's showing how much you 31:11 are stressed and again you need to train a lot of models that you knows taking 31:16 all of the sensor from your hand if you are too stressed or not and this is a a mental well-being application and the so 31:24 you see industrial you see wearable Edge compute application high-end in this 31:29 case the request was we want to count people in a traffic light in India Okay 31:35 so a lot of things you need an Nvidia GPU for that so this is where cost is 31:41 doesn't matter you just need to execute with supporting Nvidia as well and for example a non-invasive glucose think 31:48 about it this is revenue revolutionary application from a company called No Labs how much models you need to train 31:54 but still need to be handled application low cost low power and in this case it 32:00 was no* network engine so you see different type of application exactly the same is I shared before 32:06 unfortunately I cannot tell who is who but in then each of them won one of that 32:12 okay all multiple and this is good example other companies so we mentioned already 32:18 a wearable or ring I believe some of you know the ordering and just today Samsun

Well it looks like we were both mistaken - after all, when is a computer ever wrong?!

It is true that an industrial robot will have power laid on, so it does not need Akida's parsimonious power usage, whereas the wearable glucose meter does.

The glucose meter needs to be trained, whereas the robot learns. I doubt that the glucose meter uses ML, because the models would need to be verified in the lab, and ad hoc changes would not have FDA approval.

So there are arguments both ways, so I'm going with the Scottish courts - not proven.
