Good to see someone also noticing the funny business occuring. I think ball will drop soon. I loved picking up100K more shares at 36 cents. Mission accomplishedSo many single figure trades today, laughable!
If you don’t realise that there’s manipulation going on with the share price I’m not sure what will make it more obvious?
I want a big announcement, also tattslotto numbers and to be younger and better looking. Looks like I need BRN to shine
Was watching the last 10 minutes of trade and it reminded me of a video game, the big block of sell orders magically got thinner and thinner and then buyers started to bid up then it went back down like it was tug o war. Definitely to collect the cheapest possible shares, and make a profit at the end.

"On-Chip Neuromorphic Hardware Will Optimize Size, Power and Speed of Computing Devices
By Karen Walkermkw3a@virginia.edu
The Virginia NanO-computing (ViNO) group simulates and designs the hardware underlying the internet of things, from exploring the fundamental physics of emerging materials to quantum transport of electrons, to projecting overall device, circuit and system-level performance for memory, logic and sensing applications. Led by Avik Ghosh, professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics, the team develops state-of-the-art computational models and collaborates with experimentalists to understand the limits of various low-power electronic computing paradigms.
At the lowest atomistic level of modeling, the ViNO group specializes in exploring fundamental physical properties of a wide range of nanomaterials for emerging device technologies. Examples include nanomagnetic alloys that can store non-volatile data at high-bit density, 2-D materials such as graphene and topological insulators that capitalize on unconventional electron flow at very high mobility, compositionally graded thermal interface materials that minimize heat loss, and digitally grown III-V alloys and polycrystalline lead salts for high-sensitivity, single-photon detectors.
At the opposite, higher level of systems modeling, the ViNO group is looking at “on-chip” neuromorphic hardware to optimize the trade-off between a device’s size and power requirements and a software algorithm’s processing speed. The group's simulations show that a noisy low-barrier magnet* may enable the design of a scalable low-power hardware unit that behaves like an analog neuron, which can be used in turn to build large-scale hardware neural networks for real-time learning and prediction.
Neural networks are computing systems that learn to perform tasks through training sequences, without being pre-programmed with task-specific rules. This resulting artificial analog neural net could potentially be attached directly on chip with an image sensor to identify and track moving objects on video in real time, and for deployment in self-driving automobiles, robots and unmanned autonomous vehicles.
Maybe that's why they joined the fabulous BRN Ai AP?
A self-contained, low-power hardware neural chip might also be trained to recognize an individual’s medical signals, similar to how an electrocardiogram monitors heartbeats, or to identify atypical events and quickly classify the type of anomaly for real-time personalized medicine. Judicious on-chip processing of sensor data can greatly reduce size, weight and power of such networks, enabling the chip to operate “off line”—in the absence of a reliable wifi signal, and to protect against cyber-hacking.
The ViNO research leverages funding from NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Semiconductor Research Corporation’s Joint University Microelectronics Program, and a multi-university National Science Foundation Industry-University Cooperative Research Center on Multifunctional Integrated Systems Technology, for which Ghosh is a site-leader."
Or did NASA give the hint that UVA should join Brainchip's programme?

What do you think could be meant with 'noisy low-barrier magnet'? Do they mean NC with NVM (non-volatile memory) or something else entirely?

Here in Germany, the universities of Bonn and Bochum should take their feet in their hands and join as well.

It's quite clever.
A friend of mine has the Garmin's that can be utilised for Golf.
Whilst coming pre-loaded with the course, it can also register every hit, and then update it's path based on your next hit.
It can also somehow exclude practise swings, fresh air shots and mishits into the ground.
Whilst already "activity" based, this shows they are already thinking beyond a glorified pedometer/heart rate monitor.
Imagine using Akida to learn velocity, strike zones and swing arcs allowing for real time shot data before you line up your next shot.
Might even give me advice on how not to slice my driver??

A practical use for object detection based on Convolutional Neural Networks is in devices which can support people with impaired vision. An embeddedwww.digica.com
Incidentally, Chris Stevens also liked this blog post by Digica’s Head of Talent.
Two likes by senior Brainchip staff for an eight month old (!) post suggests more than mere coincidence to me.
Could Digica possibly be a company that only very recently revealed to Brainchip what they had used Akida for?
Otherwise why like their blog post only now, eight months after it got initially posted?
I checked out Digica’s website:

There seems to be a clear inference (sic) in this article that Prophesee are achieving their goals as a result of their collaboration with Brainchip. If that is, in fact, the case then there is the often talked about dot joining us to Qualcomm, albeit indirectly. How many mobile phones are sold worldwide with Snapdragon on board? The mind boggles at what this would mean for Brainchip if Prophesee is incorporating our IP into this deal..........Hard to imagine they wouldn't be after what they have previously said about us closing the circle (my term) for them and their stated goal of a commercial relationship with us. Definitely one to watch closely!!!!!

Hi Cosors,
Here's my explanation:
Binary stochastic neurons (BSN’s) form an integral part of many machine learning algorithms, motivating the development of hardware accelerators for this complex function. It has been recognized that hardware BSN’s can be implemented using low barrier magnets (LBM’s) by minimally modifying presentday magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) devices. A crucial parameter that determines the response of these LBM based BSN designs is the correlation time of magnetization, τc. In this letter, we show that for magnets with low energy barriers (∆ ≈ kBT and below), circular disk magnets with in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA) lead to τc values that are two orders of magnitude smaller compared to τc for magnets having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and provide analytical descriptions. We show that this striking difference in τc is due to a precession-like fluctuation mechanism that is enabled by the large demagnetization field in IMA magnets. We provide a detailed energy-delay performance evaluation of previously proposed BSN designs based on Spin-Transfer-Torque (STT) MRAM and Spin-Orbit-Torque (SOT) MRAM employing low barrier circular IMA magnets by SPICE simulations. The designs exhibit sub-ns response times leading to energy requirements of ∼a few fJ to evaluate the BSN function, orders of magnitude lower than digital CMOS implementations with a much larger footprint. While modern MRAM technology is based on PMA magnets, results in this paper suggest that low barrier circular IMA magnets may be more suitable for this application.
...
In PMA, the thermal noise makes the magnetization fluctuate randomly anywhere on the Bloch sphere, while in IMA the large demagnetization field restricts the fluctuations to an in-plane precession-like fluctuations making it much faster.
...
In low barrier IMA magnets when thermal noise kicks the magnetization out-of-plane, due to the presence of large orthogonal demagnetization field HD the in-plane magnetization starts precessing. If we consider an ensemble of such magnets each with a different precession frequency due to thermal noise, the average magnetization vector would quickly dissipate.
Well actually I pinched it from:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.03650v1.pdf
I'm guessing that it is to do with the alignment of the magnetic dipoles, but this technology is outside my experience.
However, it is interesting that the wheel has turned full circle s far as magnet memories are concerned. Before silicon, early computer memory bits were stored in ferrite rings with two control wires and a sensing wire.
PS: I would like to join the ViNO group.
PPS: Is taking your feet in your hands the German equivalent of bootstrapping?

Over on Sputnik news a good story about TSMC building a plant in Dresden Germany. Interesting to see who the main shareholders are too! Vlad
The trouble is that Qualcomm and Sony manufacture their own chips. So one of them would need to license Akida, and this would require an ASX announcement.

So are you saying Prophesee can't licence it or someone has to have a completed deal now or it can't happen? Not sure I'm following your logic.

Holding onto what I've got
Maybe in a hypothetical senario, to give Sony and Qualcomm the ledging edge 'they' in the interim go through a 3rd party until everything on their end is sorted out this avoids showing their cards and going public.
I would suspect if Akida is truely groundbreaking as the tell us there is going to be a lot of backroom deals done like we have never seen before. IMO

I know my Westpac trading account is normally a bit behind the times but a very slow trading day in progress and most of the exchanges are in the 2 and 3 figure range.
I have found myself becoming immune to these types of days with a shrug of the shoulders and a ho hum.
Happy days around the corner.

Yeah, had a look through the course of sales, and it's incredible the number of 2 figure trades there have been today. Not sure the %, but has to be pretty high.
We're now half way through the day and the volume sits at 510,100. The lowest volume for a day this year was 2,686,383 back on 4th May. The way things are going, today could beat that low easily.

Haha, of course, just after I've posted this, someone has decided to put a 500,000 volume trade on. Just like that, we've gone up 1,200,000 in just 15 min.
