BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

Ha,
defrauds $1.8 million, and gets a 12 month community corrections order, sounds fair............

That should motivate others not to follow.

Here is a thought which in my opinion should be given weight.

The two million shares received by the CEO are part of his salary.

Ignoring that he sold 972,000 odd shares to pay his tax I would like to draw attention to the fact that the CEO has actually spent close to $800,000 of his salary to acquire 1,083,000 Brainchip shares.

Before you dismiss this consider the situation where instead of agreeing to take cash and shares the CEO insisted on receiving an all cash salary.

The cash would have been taxed as occurred with the share based payment. The tax paid would be the same.

If the CEO then took $800,000.00 of his cash salary and bought 1,083,000 shares according to some here this would be a sign of faith in Brainchip.

If it is why is the CEOs retention of 1,083,000 shares instead of selling all two million shares to convert them all to a cash salary less worthy???

Those who are ignoring the retention of these shares as proof of the CEO having faith in BRAINCHIP need to stand back and look again at his actions. He could have very easily chosen to have all 2 million shares sold and the $800,000 odd dollars handed to him and then bought Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon or Google shares or even Berkshire Hathaway but no he chose to buy/keep 1,083,000 Brainchip shares.

My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA

A point that’s being missed here is that paying him in shares and causing the take implications means more total shares are needed to be issued than if yea was paid in cash and bought the shares which dilutes our holding.

Late last year the European Space Agency selected 12 projects for funding to advance computing techniques and AI. Could the E.S.A also have been in the EAP?

Smarter Satellites: ESA Discovery Accelerates AI in Space

PARIS (ESA PR) — Could we capitalise on the Earth-based digital revolution to make our satellites smarter? ESA Discovery is funding 12 projects that will explore the potential of applying the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing paradigms to make satellites...

newspaceglobal.com

ESA launched the first artificially intelligent Earth observation satellite in September 2020. Named ɸ-sat (pronounced phi-sat), the satellite carried an AI-accelerator chip that automatically discards cloudy images and send only useful data down to Earth.


The latest step came in October 2021, when the Discovery element of ESA’s Basic Activities – working together with Φ-lab and ESA’s new commercialisation department – launched a call for ideas on how we can make space systems more powerful using novel computing techniques and AI. The most interesting ideas have now been selected for funding.

The selected ideas involve new technologies developed outside the space sector – including blockchain, edge computing, and neuromorphic computing (inspired by the workings of the human brain),” says Gabriele. “The ideas address amazing applications across the space domain including early detection of methane gas and natural disasters, autonomous rovers on the Moon, space surveillance and tracking – all because information could be processed more efficiently.”

Opportunity: The Application of Neuromorphic Processors to SatCom Applications

Our mission is to connect Europe. We join engineers, entrepreneurs and investors to forge strong links between institutions, industries, and businesses.

artes.esa.int

​

ABOUT THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY​

The proposed activity will take the form of an investigation into the application of neuromorphic processor architectures within satcom systems; focussing on AI-based applications that require massive parallelism/matrix-based computer operations, but also considering other applications where the use of neuromorphic processors could benefit the performance, reliability, power consumption, or cost of satcom payloads.
 
The activity will assess and compare the performance and implementation of the identified applications when run on standard processor solutions (i.e., GPU/CPUs/ FPGA/ AI-Accelerators, etc.) compared to neuromorphic designs to quantify any gains in terms of computational time, power consumption, reliability, and processor footprint as well as other relevant figures of merit. In addition, the activity should identify new applications that are considered prohibitive to run on standard architecture on-board processors and for which neuromorphic processors therefore represent an enabler. Together with Neuromorphic Processors, the contractor shall research and explore their software technology counterpart. That is, the use of new ML models like Spiking Neural Networks that when implemented on Neuromorphic Processors, exhibit favourable properties such as low power consumption, fast inference, and event-driven information processing. Spiking neural networks or third generation artificial neural networks are a new type of neural networks that functionally mimic natural neural networks even closer than traditional artificial neural networks.

Finally, the study will include a survey of the current state-of-the-art for neuromorphic processor products and solutions, as well as corresponding software toolkits and frameworks, and identify suitable radiation tolerant devices (e.g., novel memristors and MRAM) that could be incorporated into neuromorphic processor-based architectures. A specific goal would be to provide early identification of any industrial dependencies that may exist for critical components.


For the last two years, we have put together in ESA a team of experts in the fields of Neuromorphic Computing, Event-based sensors, Machine Learning, On-board Payload Data Processing and On-board AI-accelerated hardware to explore the technological challenges and potential enablers of neuromorphic computing in space.

Ahh, and here I was thinking myself a legend because I picked up another good parcel of shares two days ago at 63c.......hmmmm guess I'll have to wait till $6.30 now before any more self declarations of 'legendism'. Perhaps today will be a rare green Friday......

Just watch the US markets, since brn are not releasing any announcements or their clients then BRN will follow US.

Friday funny

A Japanese man goes to the currency exchange teller in a New York bank with 2000 yen and got back $14.00usd.

He asked the teller why he got less money than he had gotten the previous week.

The teller said, “Fluctuations.”

The Japanese man stormed out, and just before slamming the door, he turned around and said,

“Fuck you Americans too!”

I believe we are in for a good day fellow chippers

FIFA says, in a nutshell, that it does not fall within their remit. It's a celebration of those who don't think like me.

About a month ago I asked the company, Tony in this case, why Eastronics had been removed from the company's website
and the answer that I received at the time didn't add up, or more to the point, actually make any sense.

So, I re-asked the question, and this was the response yesterday.

"I asked our CFO Ken Scarince, and he confirmed that we ended our relationship with Eastronics back in October. Further to Ken’s confirmation, Chris Stevens our VP of Sales confirmed via email that he terminated the relationship with Eastronics shortly after he came on board."

"I’m not going to provide specific reasons for the decision, but such decisions are taken for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, budgetary considerations, strategic realignment and non-performance."

That confirms what I thought was the case, moving on........
