I'm Spartacus!
Anyone got any clue what caused the all ords to spike up at 11 am?
Maybe in response to this?......Anyone got any clue what caused the all ords to spike up at 11 am?
House Passes Debt Limit Bill in Bipartisan Vote to Avert Default |
The House pushed through legislation to suspend the debt ceiling for two years and set federal spending limits, as a bipartisan coalition lined up to cast a critical vote to pull the nation back from the brink of economic catastrophe. |
Morning HopalongPetrovski,Anyone got any clue what caused the all ords to spike up at 11 am?
I think you and I should marry.Morning HopalongPetrovski,
May be something to do with the US debt ceiling mooving through the House.
I have not looked but read a article this morning thay were working through it late , which would line up .
Or it was the little buy order I popped through.

Most of the announced partnerships are with relatively small companies... I thought they meant that they couldn't announce it on the market as the partnership doesn't really carry a monetary value...If I have to label every single achievement made in the last 12 months ranging from ecosystem, new chips being taped out, recognition from industry and much more, then some shareholders have tunnel vision.
Not 1 single person is happy that there hasn’t been a single license sold since November of 2021. But it’s also pretty clear that customers that they’ve been engaged with are waiting for 2.0 due to the adjustments and tweaks made at the customers request.
Now should we blame Peter and Anil for making a product (akida1000) for only a few products? Or should we take onboard what our engagements and customers are saying so it’s tailored to their applications.
At the AGM Sean said (or Antonio) that they don’t just announce every NDA/partnership because not every partnership may lead to anything commercial. Now does that not mean that the partnerships that they do announce through social media mean that we can take that as an almost gold plated guarantee that those partnerships announced will lead to something commercial/material?? That’s the way I see it.
Call me naive but that’s the way I see it.
You only have to read the wording on all the partnerships announced. They all basically say “they will design & integrate akida into products”
I remember reaching out to Prophesee CEO a few months ago, I asked him what are the differences between a demo partner and a technology partner, his response back to me shocked me. He responded with saying he is “looking forward to turning it into a commercial one” (with Brainchip)
I used that as an example because they are a known customer of Megachips. I still think it would be wise to keep watching them though.I have it on good word that Nintendo aren’t using our IP yet.
I think this is a pretty good practical example of why Sean is reluctant to provide revenue projections at this stage.Most of the announced partnerships are with relatively small companies... I thought they meant that they couldn't announce it on the market as the partnership doesn't really carry a monetary value...
Also, I thought they’ve been saying that mutiple EAPs were engaged and provided great feedbacks when we shared the prototypes, etc. But now they are saying it's not good enough and we need 2.0, how are they sure this time? Perhaps we need 3.0 or 20282874.0 to land a freaking IP contract...
I get that 2022 was a big year but the fact that we landed 0 contract is very disappointing... especially given we've landed two previously...
Imagion Biosystems are about to commence 2nd stage testing on nanoparticles that stick to certain cancers only and can be highlighted via standard MRI. Saves on biopsies.They will never become an IP License holder, it was originally thought that a chip, as in, Akida 1000 would/could be embedded in a
handheld device, I personally believe that Hossam Haick is a career research academic, Nanose Medical and the Chinese research (there's
that word again) teams they work alongside will never achieve market commercialization, how many products to date have been realized
by direct involvement with Hossam Haick ?
5 years from now will a product actually enter the marketplace, I just wonder.
Tech just airing his views on the above topic, never right or wrong.
100% correct.
Let’s get rid of Antonio who was President and EVP of Commercial and Global development, Global Director of the ARM Foundry Program, and Executive VP of Worldwide Sales. Mr. Viana and looked after multi billion dollar contracts.
Let’s get rid of Duy Loan Le who worked at Texas Instruments for 35 years and was a senior fellow.
Let’s get rid of Nandan who also worked at ARM for a long time and most recently at a trillion dollar company AMAZON and was in charge of the adoption and roll out of Hey Alexa.
Let’s get rid of Rob Telson who was a Senior Director at Synopsys & also at ARM for 11 years as Global VP of Foundry Sales, also VP of Sales.
Let’s get rid of Sean Hehir who is a Silicon Valley Board Member and also at HP as VP of Strategic Allicances, VP of Microsoft Strategic Alliance, VP of Cisco Strategic Alliance, VP of Accenture Strategic Alliance.
Let’s get rid of Todd Vierra who was Director Field Sales Engineers at ARM for 14 years.
Let’s get rid of Chris Stephens who was at Syntiant as VP of Sales and sold edge devices.
Let’s get rid of everybody at Brainchip who works there, we need a complete reshuffle of our sales, board and management and let’s hire people who have just came out of uni, who have never sold any IP/chips in their life, who haven’t built up any professional relationships throughout the years, have no idea about the importance of an ecosystem , despite the fact that every semiconductor company has an ecosystem.
Let’s try hire people who have experience in AI and neuromorphic…..oh wait, they don’t exist because Brainchip is THE WORLDS FIRST.
Antonio said at the AGM that the pool of people is already so small within the AI space, so it’s hard enough to get people let alone the area where Brainchip occupy.
I am 100% confident paying the staff we have with bonuses.
Does anybody think Nanden or Rob or any others need to work at Brainchip with their experience? They can go and get a job with one of the top companies and have a cushy job, but they’re here at Brainchip because they’ve seen under the hood and are passionate and excited and motivated and see the potential, and want to be a part of something truly disruptive.
See what would happen is, people vote to not pay people what they’re worth, then let’s say Nanden and Chris stephens and Sean leave, and we adopt the notion of paying bonuses until after something material has surfaced to shareholders, then share price goes down even further because we don’t retain the amazing staff we have who are literally the best of the best, then people will complain that they haven’t achieved anything.
I fail to see why people cannot see the bigger picture. Brainchip is a global company competing in a global space, we need to keep up with the big boys.
I understand where everyone is coming from with this. pros and cons are certainly there. But IMO if you sign on to a start up (not a big global company) then you have signed up for a reason. If the reason is to get free shares for doing what you're paid for, then......If I have to label every single achievement made in the last 12 months ranging from ecosystem, new chips being taped out, recognition from industry and much more, then some shareholders have tunnel vision.

Interesting thing about storm clouds and lightning. A decade or two ago, "sprites" were observed, being lightning strikes upwards from the clouds. I had long held an hypothesis that the energy for lightning came from the ionosphere, the clouds providing a short circuit or providing sufficient conductivity between the ionosphere and earth to bridge the spark gap.I know it's an Inivation camera and from memory SynSense involved with them.
Haven't dug too deep yet on the Thor project of which some recent details are below.
I did find that what appears to be the same camera is available with the details end of the post. Found it interesting that's it's designed to connect to neuromorphic hardware such as FPGA or Loihi.
Love to see how we'd go connected to it if not attempted already.
Edit. Forgot to add that we already know TCS also been working with Akida for weather / clouds via cubesats from memory.

THOR-DAVIS: A neuromorphic camera to observe thunderstorms from inboard ISS.
Olivier Chanrion, Nicolas Pedersen, Andreas Stokholm, Benjamin Hauptmann, and Torsten Neubert
Technical University of Denmark, DTU Space, Denmark (olivier.chanrion@gmail.com)
The technical purpose of THOR-DAVIS is to test a new camera concept in space for observations of thunderclouds and their electrical activity at up to a resolution of 10 µs. The scientific purpose is to
conduct video camera observations of thunderclouds and their electrical activity.
The focus is on altitude-resolved measurements of activity at the top of the clouds and the stratosphere above.
The camera type is a so-called neuromorphic camera (or event camera) where pixels are read out asynchronously when the pixel illumination changes. The goal is to understand, under realistic
conditions, the use of such a camera for future use in space for observations of processes in severe electrical storms. The camera has a high temporal resolution 100.000 equivalent frame per
second and a huge dynamic range of about 120 dB and is particularly well suited for this kind of observations. The camera weights about 200g and consumes about 1.5A in operation and is
particularly well suited for space applications.
In this presentation we will give the status of the development of the THOR-DAVIS experiment to be conducted by the Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen during his upcoming ESA mission
Huggin onboard the International Space Station (ISS). We’ll present the design of the payload based on a Davis 346 neuromorphic camera mounted on top of a Nikon D5 camera for handheld
operation. The 2 cameras are controlled by an AstroPi unit based on a Raspberry Pi computer board.
Finally, we’ll give preliminary results of laboratory measurements made with the flight model.

Ahhhhhh, Cerence. It won't be long now, I hope!
Cerence's "Immersive Companion" for in-car voice assistant is going to be rolled out sometime in FY23/24 and I personally can't wait to check all of the finer details.
Intriguingly, this Cerence Linkedin post was liked Heiner Kruessman CSO at Vivoka. We've partnered with Teksun and Vivoka partnered with Teksun recently too.
It's a veritable smorgasbord of dots.
