I personally believe that the CES conference in January will deliver news, very pleasing news, why, oh why, please kind sir?
Mercedes made an announcement 12 months ago basically, have they been sitting on their hands ever since, of course not, nor has
any other Brainchip EAP, let's all be honest here, we are expecting some solid announcements starting in January, surely?
Whether that equals instant revenue, I, like many here think not, but the next 12 months on 12 months, that is, 8 quarters of potential
growth, well that's my time frame, and it's been up until now, extremely fair and reasonable, so let the "real growth begin"
Let's not talk about takeovers, I'm 100% confident it just won't happen in the short to medium term anyway. $10.00 US a share
would be tempting at this point, but the one/s who ultimately have the last say wouldn't even consider it at this point, we are too
young into our journey, the passion is still alive.
God bless that fact.

As for more general wishes (as I have no religious belief whatsoever which includes Santa as an omnipotent, slightly dodgy overlord). I'm putting this one out to the universe and beyond (whatever that entails philosophically or otherwise). For those who know me this is my regular rant, so full of assumptions and poorly thought out conclusions.
Can the SP please go up just enough so I don't have to rent (EVER) and can move into a house on the nearest inhabitable planet with no dogs, cats, bogans, those who were brought up without any capacity for empathy or have lost it because they are in denial of how they affect the lives of others, insanely grumpy/aggressive old people, retail customers, shorters, high frequency traders, powerful greedy and selfish leaders of countries and poisonous criminal organisations, anyone who indoctrinates anyone into anything before they are capable of making their own choices, scammers, sink or swim advocates who hold their beliefs only as long as they are doing well or with their very privileged starts in life and the very poorly socialised (the category I fit into most snugly). Oh and noisy air-conditioners.
I feel like I'm losing my capacity for empathy as the above likely suggests so may have to move away from myself
Hey could I use it as my pitch for Master Universe pageant?

TSMC’s $40 Billion Bet on U.S.-Made Chips: Just a Start.
This past Tuesday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing announced that it would expand its investments in Arizona to more than $40 billion—from its initial $12 billion commitment. TSMC’s first Arizona fab will begin making 4-nanometer chips in 2024, and a second will produce 3-nanometer chips by 2026. Smaller chips normally are faster and more power-efficient than larger ones.
Forty billion is a big number, but it’s not a panacea. TSMC didn’t lay out a time frame to spend the money. And it will be a fraction of TSMC’s overall capital spending, which J.P. Morgan estimates at $100 billion from 2022 to 2024. The fabs will add to U.S. capacity, but with limitations. Taiwan has become a geopolitical flashpoint with China and the U.S. because it accounts for more than 90% of the world’s most advanced chip manufacturing, notes a 2021 report from the Semiconductor Industry Association and Boston Consulting Group. Most of that comes from TSMC.
By the time the Arizona plants go on line, they’ll be one or two generations behind Taiwan’s most advanced fabs. J.P. Morgan expects TSMC’s Taiwan plants to start making 3-nanometer chips in 2023’s first quarter; by 2026, they are likely to have moved on to something better. By then, chips for the latest Apple iPhone won’t be U.S.-made because they’ll require the most advanced technology. The Arizona fabs will likely support older iPhones or iPads.
Last month, Tufts’ Chris Miller, author of Chip War, told Barron’s that U.S. policy makers were still underestimating the risks around Taiwan, should the geopolitics deteriorate. While $40 billion may relieve political pressures, advanced chip-making will remain concentrated in Taiwan.

3 questions you should ask to get the most out of edge data — VentureBeat

For years, enterprises have touted the benefits of a data-first approach — where every major business decision is informed by data insights. With cloud adoption and greater accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), more data teams have started to live out this ideal. But there’s a curveball being thrown at data leaders, and it’s coming from the edge.
An essential building block of a data-first strategy is access: You need easy access to critical data streams to analyze them and put them to use. But when it’s predicted that 75% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside of the cloud or centralized data centers, data leaders are in a predicament. Their fastest growing data source is far, far away from centralized analytics environments, rendering it effectively useless.
This challenge is growing: The combination of 5G connectivity and the rapid adoption of IoT devices in industries like manufacturing, automotive, logistics and energy is supercharging the edge technology market, which is expected to hit around $116.5 billion by 2030.
So how will data-first strategies evolve when your largest data source becomes your most distributed?
We’re in the early stages of seeing this play out, and I expect that a significant amount of innovation in the coming years will help alleviate this challenge. But for now, there are three essential questions data leaders can consider as they look to apply a data-first mindset to the edge.
After real-time processing, what’s next?
Vendors like EdgeConneX and ClearBlade, as well as AWS and Azure Stack Edge, have made it easy for enterprises to derive value from edge data in real time. In manufacturing, edge processing enables predictive maintenance for equipment; in healthcare it allows patients to monitor health from home; and in the automotive industry it makes self-driving cars a reality. Computing outside the centralized data center has been, and will continue to be, game-changing for so many industries.
But data leaders hard-wired with a data-first mindset are naturally starting to wonder: Does the value of edge data stop at the edge?
After real-time processing, data often ends up sitting in edge data stores, collecting dust (and storage costs). This growing pool of critical user data is being left out of the AI applications running in platforms like Snowflake or Databricks — the driving forces behind next-generation customer experiences and strategic business decisions. As this data piles up, more and more data leaders are starting to explore where the long-term value of this data source lies.
Which brings us to question No. two.
Are edge data centers always the most cost-efficient?
To date, edge data centers have proven to be a cost-efficient home for IoT data. But as IoT devices proliferate, the edge data cost analysis is starting to skew. When a single enterprise generates as much as 60 petabytes of edge data every two weeks, storage costs add up. For some, this volume of edge data is translating to multiple millions of dollars a year, which will only go up over time.
Sure, if you’re not paying to store data at the edge, you’ll be paying to store it in the cloud. But the difference is ROI. While data at the edge adds value in the moment, it does nothing over time. If it were in the cloud, on the other hand, it could start informing new product lines or spark strategic partnerships.
So before edge storage fees get unruly, many enterprise data teams are assessing what do do with their edge data: continue to store it at the edge to be analyzed locally; delete it to save money and/or mitigate privacy concerns; or move it to a centralized data center or cloud environment.
Can my data architecture withstand exponential growth?
If you decide that hanging onto your edge data makes sense, you’ll have to think strategically about what that means for your data architecture. In a world where edge data is king, modern data architectures will need to thrive with data that grows exponentially.
This could mean you need to scale up or scale out edge data storage. It could also mean building a data pipeline that accommodates continuous data movement.
Data migrations have traditionally been viewed as one-and-done processes. But the edge is forcing everyone to rethink this assumption. Migration now has to happen continuously, and originate from highly distributed environments. You’re no longer just pulling data, once, from an on-premises data center and dropping it in AWS, Azure or GCP.
To accommodate this shift, some companies are streaming small amounts of data to the cloud, slowly but surely centralizing subsets of business-critical edge data. Alternatively, extremely data-heavy enterprises are looking to automate edge migrations at scale. Whatever route you take, factoring in the reality that your data is growing exponentially is essential to maximizing its value over time.
Evolving the data-first mindset
As edge data becomes your fastest-growing data source, your data-first strategies have to evolve. There is no one right answer for how enterprises should make use of their edge data, but assessing its long-term potential and building the right processes to accommodate (and benefit from) its scale are helpful places to start.
Once these essential questions are answered at the edge, data-first strategies could yield even bigger and more transformative results.

I’m just going to enjoy the ride until 2025 when the EVs’ come out.
Conventional vehicles contain an average of $330 value of semiconductor contentwhile hybrid electric vehicles can contain up to $1,000 and 3,500 semiconductors.
We are a trusted partner with Valeo and our sweet spot is LiDAR. The Scala 3 LiDAR comes out in 2025 vehicles.
Valeo has agreements with both Mercedes and Stellantis who sell 2million and 6.5 million cars annually.
Imagine if we earn $100 each car (a guess) for providing our science fiction beast enabling them to create this technology and run it on low power to give maximum battery life which is necessary.
My math says that’s an earner of $850 000 000 per annum with a 90+% profit margin as it’s IP.
With less than $20 mil to run the company that not a bad start and I’m sure other car manufacturers will follow suit to keep competitive!
A different business but Afterpay went over $100 whilst it wasn’t profitable!
Imagine if we get $200 or more per car?
And that’s not including the multitude of other EAP’s we don’t know about let alone the Renesas, NASA and the big one being Defence!
And for those who haven’t read it yet this is well worth a read.
Enjoy

The Department of Defense Releases the President's Fiscal Year 2023 Defense Budget
March 28, 2022 |Statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III on the President’s Fiscal Year 2023 Budget
“I am proud to join President Biden today in submitting the fiscal year 2023 Budget. Our department’s budget will help us continue to defend the nation, take care of our people and succeed through teamwork with our allies and partners.
This $773 billion budget request reinforces our commitment to the concept of integrated deterrence, allows us to better sequence and conduct operations around the globe that are aligned to our priorities, modernizes the Joint Force, and delivers meaningful support for our dedicated workforce and their families.
To those ends, we are requesting nearly $56.5 billion for air power platforms and systems; more than $40.8 billion for sea power, to include nine more battle force ships, and nearly $12.6 billion to modernize Army and Marine Corps fighting vehicles. We are requesting more than $130.1 billion for research and development in this budget - an all-time high - because we understand the need to sharpen our readiness in advanced technology, cyber, space and artificial intelligence. Importantly, this budget funds modernization of all three legs of the nuclear triad to ensure that we continue to maintain a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent. And we have devoted more than $3 billion to address the effects of climate change, bolstering our installation resiliency and adaptation to climate challenges.
We are also asking that Congress support our efforts to take care of our most critical asset, our people. Our budget requests $479 million to implement the recommendations of the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault, and our 4.6 percent pay raise for our military and civilian personnel helps ensure they receive the pay they deserve and need, particular in light of the challenging current economic realities. Our budget request also includes additional investments to provide affordable childcare for both our military and civilian workforce. For instance, we are making additional investments in childcare fee assistance for both military and civilian members.
As I have said many times, we need resources matched to strategy, strategy matched to policy and policy matched to the will of the American people.
This budget gives us the resources we need to deliver on that promise. Our budget reflects our National Defense Strategy and the focus of that strategy on the pacing challenge of China. It will help us prepare for other future challenges, as well, including those posed by climate change. It preserves our readiness and deterrent posture against the threats we face today: the acute threat of an aggressive Russia and the constantly emerging threats posed by North Korea, Iran, and violent extremist organizations. And it absolutely supports our policy of U.S. global leadership of — and responsibility for — our vast network of alliances and partnerships.
I am proud of the work that has gone into this budget request, and I look forward to discussing it with members of Congress in the days and weeks ahead.” – Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III

Longer term I'm confident/excited about the increases in wearables for monitoring health.
Our friends over at Nviso may prove to be a very beneficial partner in this field?
The following abstract refers to Loihi but I'm sure we'll get amongst it.
Abstract:
With the emergence of edge-computing platforms, the applications of smart wearable devices are immense. This technology can be incorporated in consumer products such as smartwatches and activity trackers, for continuous health monitoring, as well as for medical applications such as myoelectric prosthetics, to interpret the electric activity in the residual limb and achieve fast and precise control. However, wearable technologies require a lightweight, energy-efficient, and low-latency processing system in order to extend the devices’ autonomy while maintaining a realistic user-feedback interaction. Neuromorphic processing, thanks to its event-based and asynchronous nature, presents ideal characteristics for compact brain-inspired low-power and ultra-fast computing systems that can enable a new generation of wearable devices. This article presents two spiking neural networks (SNNs) for event-based electromyography (EMG) gesture recognition and their evaluation on Intel’s research neuromorphic chip Loihi. Specifically, the evaluation is done on the Kapoho Bay platform which embeds the Loihi processor in a Universal Serial Bus (USB) form factor device allowing for closed-loop edge computation. With accurate experimental evaluation, this article demonstrates that the proposed method is able to discriminate 12 different hand gestures using an eight-channel EMG sensor and exceeds state-of-the-art results. We obtained an accuracy of 74% on the commonly used NinaPro DB5 dataset, a processing latency of 5.7 ms for 300-ms EMG samples while consuming only 41 mW.

seeds have the potential to become trees.
Jesus is King, he can wash away thy Sin, lamb of God to him I say, thanks for bleeding on that day. Yes, Jesus loves you, yes Jesus loves you, Yes Jesus loves you, the Bible tells you so. Question is.. do you love Jesus.?
I know this is a stock forum, and we are supposed to discuss BRN, but what’s the point of it all? What’s the point of gaining the whole world but loose your own soul? Ps. I’m not directing these questions to you Slade, but to anyone who reads this. And for anyone who has a sour taste in their mouth from past religious experiences, seek God, he is not after your religion but a genuine relationship trough faith. 20+ years of addiction broken in a moment in his presence. He is good and faithful to anyone willing to repent of their shortcomings. No one is out of the reach of his grace and mercy, but it is our choice if we want it or not.
Expecting to get flagged, reported and blocked for this message, but if one person returns to God because of it I am stoked!
Praise the lord. And please can we see a ship load of revenue in 2023.

Qualcomm Announces Samsung as Presenting Partner of the Snapdragon Pro Series
DEC 7, 2022SAN DIEGO
Qualcomm has a lot of 5G patents.
Qualcomm also has a number of CNN patents.
I'm guessing that this is the block diagram for Snapdragon 8 gen 2:
US2020073636A1 MULTIPLY-ACCUMULATE (MAC) OPERATIONS FOR CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Priority: 20180831
[0032] The SOC 100 may also include additional processing blocks tailored to specific functions, such as a GPU 104 , a DSP 106 , a connectivity block 110 , which may include fifth generation (5G) connectivity, fourth generation long term evolution (4G LTE) connectivity, Wi-Fi connectivity, USB connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and the like, and a multimedia processor 112 that may, for example, detect and recognize gestures. In one implementation, the NPU is implemented in the CPU, DSP, and/or GPU. The SOC 100 may also include a sensor processor 114 , image signal processors (ISPs) 116 , and/or navigation module 120 , which may include a global positioning system.
It includes CPU, GPU, DSP, NPU.
Interestingly, the multimedia processor does the gesture recognition.
The diagram appears in a number of Qualcomm patent applications from about 2019.
This patent is designed to handle CNN MAC operations:
[0006] An integrated circuit is configured to compute multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations in convolutional neural networks. The integrated circuit includes a lookup table (LUT) configured to store multiple values. The integrated circuit also includes a compute unit. The compute unit is composed of an accumulator. The compute unit also includes a first multiplier configured to receive a first value of a padded input feature and a first weight of a filter kernel. The compute unit also includes a first selector. The first selector is configured to select an input to supply to the accumulator between an output from the first multiplier and an output from the LUT.
Another patent in which the block diagram appears in is:
US2020250545A1 SPLIT NETWORK ACCELERATION ARCHITECTURE
Priority: 20190206
A method for accelerating machine learning on a computing device is described. The method includes hosting a neural network in a first inference accelerator and a second inference accelerator. The neural network split between the first inference accelerator and the second inference accelerator. The method also includes routing intermediate inference request results directly between the first inference accelerator and the second inference accelerator. The method further includes generating a final inference request result from the intermediate inference request results.
It splits up the Artificial Intelligence Inference Accelerators (AIIA) between different chips It's really messy
[0016] FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating control flow and data flow in a neural network acceleration architecture, in accordance with further aspects of the present disclosure.
[0025] One aspect of the present disclosure splits a large neural network into multiple, separate artificial intelligence (AI) inference accelerators (AIIAs). Each of the separate AI inference accelerators may be implemented in a separate system-on-chip (SoC). For example, each AI inference accelerator is allocated and stores a fraction of the weights or other parameters of the neural network. Intermediate inference request results are passed from one AI inference accelerator to another AI inference accelerator independent of a host processor. Thus, the host processor is not involved with the transfer of the intermediate inference request results.
############################################################
The interesting thing is that Qualcomm found it necessary to physically split the AI accelerator into separate AI accelerator sub-units a few months after designing the above SoC.
Perhaps they found that the size of the SoC became unmanageable if they were to implement sufficient NPU MAC processors to provide useful NN functionality, because MAC functions take up a lot more real estate than Akida NPUs. So now they need 3 chips to perform the NPU function (not including gesture recognition!?)

Anything that helps get through life in a positive manner and break through trauma with any integrity is fine by me. That's a great thing in your life and I would never put you down for it.
The way I approach belief/truth is more from a mindfulness perspective and reminding myself Im not the only one struggling with life (PF helps with that....he did claim to be the son of god once though...cheeky bugger). I do have major gripes with religious and populist organisations and the use of religious/political viewpoints to mislead traumatised and unsatisfied people into distrusting logical and very reasonable useful practical facts and unifying theories about our physical existence.
I've seen religious belief as a control mechanism and excuse for consistent poor behaviour in group and marriage relationships as well which is utterly appalling. Not that the scientific method is always applied with admirable end goals in mind either but the two things are not interchangeable. Complementary maybe (and I'm not saying that inserting Creationism as an alternate scientific theory is at all acceptable as it is NOT a scientific theory it is a belief that some people seem to need to have, like flat earth and poisonous contrails and is full of denial of proven logical fact and rational thought and at best is a totally unproven and totally inconsistent theory that fills a psychological need to have a higher power in control of their lives and/or fit in with others who believe the same). Also the belief/fear by many that the education system is seeking to brainwash everyone is a massive worry, not having the training to verify basic facts for yourself and have a common system to communicate it to others would be a total disaster and would encourage the very thing that they are claiming to be avoiding. If we want a more reactive/mistrusting world, lack of scientifically and critical thought based education is the way to do it.
I will say in the context you are conveying I think it is a great asset in promoting personal growth and community. At least two people in the last month have told me God/Jesus loves you (could well have been a positive sentiment from any belief system) and though I find it simultaneously highly condescending and hopeful that a complete stranger would offer that, I think as a mantra to find comfort in you could do worse. I'll say I've been very fortunate in my life not to have gone through intense addiction though I can relate to trauma, loss of hope and deep depression. I do believe though, to add a little relevance to this tangent that I think we are invested in a company run by reasonable, thoughtful people with integrity which is all I can ask of anyone.

My wife and I are atheists but my son attends a pre school that is affiliated with the church. I was a little concerned but we ended up deciding on this pre school because we thought the small centre best suited his personality and were told that the religious influence was very minor.
Anyway, I was at my 4 yo son's Xmas concert for his pre school on Friday where I realised that maybe the religious influence was a little stronger than I had been sold on. So a carer was telling a creation story and at one point said "and then God created humans and dolphins and whales and lions" and my 1 year old daughter who was watching on my knee yells out "Dinosaurs!!" at the top of her lungs. I couldn't be more proud of her

In regards this topic, my moral compass is tuned to “What would Jesus do in this situation?”
.
The following video, whilst a little geeky, explains the most up to date thoughts on evolution.
Edit: I just rewatched the video. It is an amazing intelligent way to help explain the emergence of life, certainly not by chance which is the fallback attitude of many people. If you have the time and inclination to watch it, please do so.
