And now for some distraction. Latest Tesla catching fire.
I wonder if that will be published as a price sensitive announcement by Tesla warning that battery impact can cause this too occur.
And now for some distraction. Latest Tesla catching fire.
Sorry can't help myself but as many are coming up with theories based on no facts just emotions here are some little facts to consider:
1. Rob Telson used always mention the flaws in Alexa when connectivity was not available but now he does not use Alexa as an example;
2. Alexa is being used by NASA in space and no longer requires connectivity to function up there???
3. Nayampally comes to BrainChip from Amazon, where he helped accelerate the adoption of Alexa Voice and other multimodal services into third-party devices.
Why is Brainchip promoting/playing up that Mr. Nayampally is formerly an ARM executive well before he moved to AMAZON and playing down that Mr. Nayampally is coming directly to Brainchip from AMAZON having worked on the Alexa Voice and other multimodal services into third part devices?
My wild speculation based on no real facts, just tiny little ones, could it be that a shareholder communication not on the ASX is actually something agreed with AMAZON to avoid the above type of speculation about a relationship between Brainchip and AMAZON?
So I ask the question of all here why is my wild speculation based on only tiny little facts any less credible than all the other wild speculation and if it is not less credible can we please avoid the mob mentality and try and base our comments in calm reason.

I think Jerome had a pretty serious cycling accident not so long ago (he spoke about it in one of his podcasts - not sure which one though) - maybe taking a bit of a step back?Looks like another reshuffle taking place.... maybe Jerome will be taking on another role???
Yes he had two.I think Jerome had a pretty serious cycling accident not so long ago (he spoke about it in one of his podcasts - not sure which one though) - maybe taking a bit of a step back?
Others may be able to confirm this but second hand I am able to suggest that a single Loihi 2 chip requires 2 to 3 watts to do its thing.Whilst the below April 2022 independent testing article in Plos One utilises Loihi, like to believe we all have an understanding of how we stack up against Loihi.
The main takeaways for me and the supporting results only add weight to the potential and capabilities of Akida vs CPU & GPU and how it provides an exceptional complimentary accelerator / processor imo.

Abstract
Neuromorphic computing mimics the neural activity of the brain through emulating spiking neural networks. In numerous machine learning tasks, neuromorphic chips are expected to provide superior solutions in terms of cost and power efficiency. Here, we explore the application of Loihi, a neuromorphic computing chip developed by Intel, for the computer vision task of image retrieval. We evaluated the functionalities and the performance metrics that are critical in content-based visual search and recommender systems using deep-learning embeddings. Our results show that the neuromorphic solution is about 2.5 times more energy-efficient compared with an ARM Cortex-A72 CPU and 12.5 times more energy-efficient compared with NVIDIA T4 GPU for inference by a lightweight convolutional neural network when batch size is 1 while maintaining the same level of matching accuracy. The study validates the potential of neuromorphic computing in low-power image retrieval, as a complementary paradigm to the existing von Neumann architectures.
The comparison of the average power consumptions between the SNNs and the ANNs is shown in Table 4. With the batch size set to one, the SNN with 16 time steps uses 217.0x/24.0x less power than the ANNs on Xeon/i7 CPUs, 9.3x less than the ANN on ARM CPU, and 40.8x/31.3x less than the ANNs on V100/T4 GPU. This is where neuromorphic hardware starts to shine as it consumes way less power than the conventional hardware. Utilizing the temporal sparsity of SNN appropriately, we believe the neuromorphic hardware can further reduce its power consumption. Another thing that we can observe from Table 4 is that the static (idle) power dominates the power consumption of the Loihi chip.

We measured the total energy used per inference (forward pass) reported in Table 5. These results can also be estimated by combining the results of Tables 3 and 4. As summarized in Table 5, with the batch size set to one, the energy consumption of SNN with 16 time steps is 15.6x/3.2x less than the ANNs on Xeon/i7 CPUs, 2.5x less than the ANN on ARM CPU, and 17.5x/12.5x less than the ANNs on V100/T4 GPUs per inference. This proves the benefits of the neuromorphic hardware in the low energy-budget applications of machine learning, particularly lightweight image search engines and visual recommender systems. It is apparent that when large batch sizes are used, CPUs and GPUs consume less energy per example. However, there are many use cases where inference is executed in small batches, and they are the targets for neuromorphic hardware in the current stage.

Conclusion
We studied the application of the Loihi chip, a neuromorphic computing hardware developed by Intel, in image retrieval. Our results show that the generation of the deep learning embeddings by spiking neural networks for lightweight convolutional neural networks is about 2.5 times more energy-efficient compared with a CPU and 12.5 times more energy-efficient compared with a GPU. We confirm the long-term potential of neuromorphic computing in machine learning, not as a replacement for the predominant von Neumann architecture, but as accelerated coprocessors.
FF, whilst I'm a great fan of all you write, unfortunately this time however you are writing about something you do not understand.Yes he had two.
The first one was quite serious with multiple broken ribs and yet he continued to carry out his role for Brainchip.
He then had a second one breaking more ribs. Cycling is apparently his first love and reason for being and was always going to be his destination.
Those who have never found their one thing will never understand why those who have do what they do. Not everything is about money.

Herein lies the problem you simply do not have sufficient facts available to you unless you have insider knowledge to say as an immutable FACT that “There is simply no excuse”.FF, WBT's CEO Coby Hanoch treats his company's shareholders with utmost respect and keeps them fully informed ... and certainly key appointments are always announced as they should be. BRN seems to treat its shareholders as necessary nuisances to be kept in the dark. As a long time holder in both companies ... the contrast between the two is stark. Nandan's appointment should have been announced on the ASX ... period! There is simply no excuse for not doing so.
You have not poked a hornets nest rather you have done what you usually do that is take a comment and twist it into something it is not."Not everything is about money". Say what????
Wrong, ....FF !!!
If you do not have money, then EVERYTHING is about money. Do you not remember what it was like to not have money? If you have always had money or the means, you cannot understand that people who do not have the resources could care less about finding their one thing, or what I call one's bliss. You were a policeman at one time, right? You should know that most of the world cannot even begin to dream of finding "their one thing", especially if it involves the purchase of a high end bike, .....which if Mr. Nadel does not own I will eat my words.
Food is billions of people's "one thing".
To say not everything is about money is quite elitist of you, frankly. I am surprised, ..... you are not that out of touch, imo.
However, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I just think it's disingenuous. Let's all guess how much Mr. Nadel's bicycle cost? I'll start,.....my guess is $5,000
If it's not about money, then he would enjoy riding a rusted 50 year old Schwinn one speed as much as he enjoys his current ride.....and that I can assure you is very unlikely, and that is my opinion. Since we are both simply stating opinions I will go now. having voiced mine.
I hope I have not poked a hornets nest. Regards, dippY

Are you serious ? Hydrogen isn't on his radar for vehicles.The only time he is using hydrogen is to blow up TwitterMight be the reason why Elon Musk is now moving from battery to Hydrogen fueled vehicles.
I have read my post and your post multiple times and I think you need to read my post again.FF, whilst I'm a great fan of all you write, unfortunately this time however you are writing about something you do not understand.
If Jerome had fallen and broken some ribs riding his bike (on a few occaisions), I'm pretty sure it would have no affect on how and when he worked for Brainchip and how he did his job. The reason if anything would be so he had more time to train for competition( though he could potentially break even more ribs and do more damage, thats what pain killers are for.) He is most likely in it for the adrenalin rush which is like an addiction. It hypes the mind makes you positive and improves the quality of your work. But it does not make you want to retire from life and what you do.
