BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Draed]

I hope you're right about a pending announcement but I think all financial institutions are making sure their arses are covered in this current climate of uncertainty.

I've always paid up (at day 3, just to make em sweat), but they never contacted me before, like this. I asked the guy if they expected one, and he said no no no, but just in case. I was like OK buddy, don't worry I got your money.

A great video for those who are worried about your holdings. Ticker Symbol you.

The thing you asked for is what the CEO Sean Hehir said he was trying to do in getting a couple more companies to allow Brainchip to display their logos.

But in the present environment, I think have proved my point the news flow needs to be continuous. If I was a shorter I would be comforted by the fact that it is very rare that any ASX listed company releases announcement after announcement in the fashion you have described so at best we will get a couple but then what? Ukraine remains centre stage with oil prices increasing and US inflation figures and supply chain issues.

At the end of the day none of it matters really because Brainchip has something no one else has the commercial product in the market and plenty of capital to run until this all gets sorted. Any researcher at the moment at the stage where Brainchip was more than 3 years ago would be having a terrible time giving world sentiment trying to raise capital and progress their research. Note I am not referencing the big players but the left field players who are trying to catch up or launch the next big thing in this space which is allowing Brainchip's commercialisation lead to only increase.

I do have a small confession because I hold my BRN in my SMSF and have minimum draw down requirements the proceeds of the sale of 75,000 shares at $1.41 to buy my watch etc; was left sitting in the account until after 30.6.22 but I have just been handed it back to take up 110,000 BRN shares at 94.5 cents. I can resist everything but temptation. LOL

My opinion only DYOR

Uh ......Barrelsitter(Dio) it was just 2 basic examples of what could be written that would probably past muster with ASX if pushed. I take it you did NOT read the actual post just skimmed it? The intent of the post was very clear.

As for the idea of just 4 chips ,well that low number would not be called "substantial" by any means (in the example) and with our connections we could be in anything from Cubes Sats , ISS, SpaceX/NASA to the next Mars Rover or Moon Rover being built by Australia. Any of them.
And we would not know and probably NEVER know due to NDA's, Secrecy Act, etc, etc. Space has become a "Black hole" for information for us regarding Brainchip and likely to remain that way.

The Cortical Colume(?) knowledge has been around since early last year from memory. Ask FF probably better.

Ok everyone is under pressure , getting this from reading the all posts and they are answering in 30,000 different ways which shows the stress.
Anyone who says all is cool is a fool, what with a mad man loose in Europe and good people being killed everyday there, 2.6 million refugees.
I broke one of my golden rules being when war or large conflicts start it is essential to leave the market and sideline. I lost focus.

Now its time in a few hrs to go off and have a CT scan of my heart and hopefully find out why people think I may end up pulling a Shane Warne at 58.
Rather more important than the Markets and BRN yes?

Audi's recent reveal of its A6 e-tron Avant has forced me to indulge in my latest predilection, Cerence. Whilst engaging in my Cerence snoopathon, I stumbled upon this little snippet which I think is VERY INTERESTING.

Got a few green rooms, probably more brown after all the rain lately, after work yesterday and hoping for a few more this afternoon. Hopefully even more green days all round.

NEMESIS is a bioinspired system of fast, accurate video processing that emulates the human vision system. With NEMESIS, small drones can extract, recognize and track human movement, behaviors, and overall scenes from multi-modal sensor data, providing high-quality tactical decisions and actionable intelligence to warfighters on the ground as action is happening. By analyzing video imagery and other data with low power and high speed, NEMESIS signals are very low bandwidth, which could be sent as an audio feed to a headset or as text messages on a recipient’s receiving device “as it happens.”

US11238335B2 Active memristor based spiking neuromorphic circuit for motion detection

A motion-sensing circuit for determining a direction of motion and a velocity of an object includes a first photo-receptor for sensing the object, an excitatory active memristor neuron circuit coupled to the first photo-receptor, a second photo-receptor for sensing the object, an inhibitory active memristor neuron circuit coupled to the second photo-receptor, and a self-excitatory active memristor output-counter neuron circuit coupled to the excitatory active memristor neuron circuit and coupled to the inhibitory active memristor neuron circuit.

Prior art (love a patent attorney with a sense of humour)

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/976,687 describe active-memristor neuron building blocks.

As shown in FIG. 5A, each active memristor directionally sensitive (DS) unit 10 receives spike inputs 12 and 14 from two neighboring pixels 11 and 13 in order to mimic biological DS (directionally sensitive) cells in an animal's retina. The DS unit 10 has a pair of active memristor trigger neurons mimicking bipolar cells, one excitatory start trigger neuron N1 20 , and one stop trigger neuron N2 26 , both of which are connected to an active memristor output-counter DS neuron N3 18 . The physical positions of the start 20 and stop 26 trigger neurons determine the preferred direction for the DS unit to respond to a moving stimulus. The trigger neurons are analogous to the bipolar cells in an animal retina, and the output counter neuron is analogous to the ganglion cells in an animal retinas.

WO2019152177A2 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NEUROMORPHIC VISUAL ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION BASED ON FOVEATED DETECTION AND CONTEXTUAL FILTERING

the system detects a set of objects of interest (OI) in video data and determines an object classification for each object in the set of OI, the set including at least one OI. A corresponding activity track is formed for each object in the set of OI by tracking each object across frames. Using a feature extractor, the system determines a corresponding feature in the video data for each OI, which is then used to determine a corresponding initial activity classification for each OI. One or more OI are then detected in each activity track via foveation, with the initial object detection and foveated object detection thereafter being appended into a new detected-objects list. Finally, a final classification is provided for each activity track using the new detected-objects list and filtering the initial activity classification results using contextual logic.

The Nemesis patents use memristors.

The excitatory and inhibitory inputs are reminiscent of the Akida NPU:

Yes Rocket he is a long term genuine poster of Danish extraction living in Uruguay with his wife and child who has strong views about the corrupting nature of power due to lived experience.

I think he went a bit far with his equating the actions of the police state against terrorists with anti vaccination campaigners but their is some truth in his words.

Fact Finder, I couldn´t have answered better myself, but from you it comes with more authority and I´m happy that you see some truth in it.

As a wrote in the end
"I´m not trying to be partisan, but just paint the picture with a bit more color.

I´m not really on anybody´s side here and will be investing in Brainchip again, I´m just rhetorically provoking a bit of perspective."

As Sean noted in his last interview, the PCIe boards are shipping out now. I'm not sure if they're being assembled in multiple locations, but it appears my order is being shipped from their Laguna Hills location.

@Fact Finder I think this is where the development of a neocortex is most likely the solution..

HRL Laboratories | News | STELLAR Program Aims for Autonomous Vehicles With Permanent Memories

HRL Laboratories has reached the second phase of its novel system aimed to give autonomous systems such as self-driving cars artificial intelligence the ability to learn new tasks and preserve experience without losing or displacing previous learning—features not possible with current AI systems.

www.hrl.com

Interesting article but what seems likely is that this is going to burn through the watts like a hot knife through butter.

The idea that mass produced autonomous vehicles will work if they are burning huge amounts of energy to be autonomous is a sick joke quite frankly.

On paper the financial costs of human drivers in a taxi or Uber probably allows the number to stack up for business owners. No holidays, long service, overtime, penalty rates, wages, sick leave, long service leave, superannuation, workers comp and admin costs.

Waymo can offer a 50 percent increase in gross profits to a taxi operator by removing human drivers while trebling the energy being burnt.

This appeals to the taxi operator but not to the planet and it’s finite resources.

The direction being pioneered by Mercedes is the direction the planet needs humanity to pursue.

Every single aspect of production and technology needs to be reinvented. This is Mercedes’ approach.

I subscribed to the Mercedes updates when the EQXX was announced and have yet to work out how to post relevant material here but todays release was about the way in which they are recycling materials and using hydrogen to produce low carbon steel to build the first generation EV’s and achieve a net zero complete EV transformation by 2038.

The AKD2000 is in play. The cortical column is somewhere on or beyond the bench.

A better way has to be found. We keep making decisions as a species based on a false premise or incomplete knowledge.

I was reading some just released research and it has proven that every organism of every type on the planet (including plants) produce methane yet poor cows have been labelled as the culprits.

The reality is that science has worked out how to mitigate methane from cows but this brand new research has changed the game and another 2 billion humans being added to the worlds population each producing methane, needing power and food just keeps adding complexity.

I have said it before science is the only hope for a solution and if Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar and those who work with them succeed in achieving their ultimate objective Artificial General Intelligence at power consumption rates that make the human brain look like an energy sponge then they will have played a significant part in solving the planets problems.

Afternoon JDelekto,

Cheers, may I ask what date you purchased this 1Lb of goodness.

Regards,
Esq.

 

[FrederikSchack]

Fred isn’t a downramper - he/she is one of our German chippers.

There´s some truth to that, I´m genetically partly german, Danish authorities would call me a Dane, I consider my self Uruguayan now and waiting to become a citizen of Uruguay by the end of the year

 

[FrederikSchack]

Hey Frederik.
Every hammer can be used on heads or hands.
Every saw can cut necks.
Every laser can blind as well as illuminate.
Every medicine given in a sufficiently high dosage will be lethal.
Because eyes can look down a weapons sight would you blind us all?
We are producing a mechanism, a tool, any of which can be put to both beneficial and wicked purpose.
I think we are already cognisant of that fact.
Just look at our catch cry.....

I agree.

I didn´t try to win a popularity contest by writing it, but just to put the recent discussion a little into perspective. What is beneficial AI anyway?

January 17th of this year, so it's been about 8 weeks which I believe was within in their estimated shipping timeframe at the time I ordered.

I am having it shipped to a US address and it is scheduled to be sent on the 18th (this Friday for me). So given I chose the economy shipping option, three business days isn't that bad.

If they are all shipping out of California, then I would expect economy shipping via FedEx to Australia would be about 6 to 10 business days.

Glad AI wasn’t around when I was growing up.

I´m glad that I don´t have to compete in a job market where Brainchip exists, so I´m doing the best I can with my 9 year old son. He loves investing, chess, strategy board games, gardening, cooking, art, theater and is ahead in every topic in school, he´s developing a plethora of skills and speaking four languages. Sadly he hates programming, but does some with his Lego Mindstorm, because he wants it to do stuff.

Hi Frederick, you might like to checkout VEX Robotics for your 9 year old son. Coding, senses, robotics and competitions. It’s the best lead in to an AI education that I have seen.

I became interested in programming at a very young age, while personal computers were still in the "wild west" era. Your comment, "because he wants it to do stuff" really hits home. The first computer I ever used was the Osborne 1 in 1981 that my father brought home from work to learn how to use a spreadsheet for crunching numbers.

I ended up spending more time on a weekend playing with that luggable beast. One of his co-workers, who saw my interest in the computer told me, "if you learn the language of the machine, you can make it do anything you want it to do." From there, the rest is history.

I've always been interested in AI back in the days when Eliza had been ported to various home computers. Nothing like the machine learning and neural networks of today. While I never worked with AI formally, it's still one of the programming hobbies I enjoy along with game development outside of the professional realm of scheduling software.

To be honest, I never liked programming too, but I wanted to make a travel homepage that I could update via an interface, before I had to travel for 8 months. So besides a 50 hours job, I used one month to learn ASP and connecting it to an Access database, making a menu system, aweful coding, but it worked.

Funny, I found a ghost of it here:
