Hey Makrame,

I just went back in time to your early history (the primordial stages of TSEx) and I can confirm that your answers, generally speaking, all seem to be in one sentence responses that are usually pretty negative.

That's all!

I just wanted to make you aware that you do that/have done that/continue to do that... incase you were not aware..

Cheers,

Very pleasing to hear PVDM is taking the foot off the pedal and handing over his responsibilities to what seems as of a score for our team! Wow! All whilst keeping his finger on the pulse in the board room. It feels to me like the curtain is being raised for the opening number. Settling into my seat as hush is falling over the theatre...
Here we go......shhhhhhhhhh.... instruments squeak one last practice tone and....tap tap tap... lights......quuuuuaaaaaaalcoooooom.......

 

[Perhaps]

Thanks to Mr. Peter van der Made for giving us the opportunity to be part of his journey to the stars.
After all those years of hard work and responsibility I wish a good time to enjoy life in an easier way.
May health and a long life be with you.

Savvy and strong appointment. He even has a Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Anthony_Lewis

What impresses me is that he also seems to specialise in robotics as well, so hopefully he has some pull in that industry to set up some nice partnerships / IP deals in that area. Not to mention our links with HP before.

Good on Peter for stepping down. Always been there for his company during the tough times as well. I will never forget how he stepped in for LDN as CEO. Humble legend. I imagine he will always be in the background somewhere anyway.

 

[robsmark]

Lol pass the keyboard to Robsmark my guy, take a well deserved break

Why’s that Damo? Do you need someone to post something worth reading?

 

[Xray1]

Will this new CTO Appointment see a BRN s/price rise tomorrow of possibly ~.25 to .28 cents range or even more ??!!..........

Also, this appointment may/would cause some concern for those shorters who would have been taken off guard with this rather unexpected ASX announcement.

 

[FromBeyond]

The very best to you Peter Van Der Made in your retirement. I hope you enjoy all the riches that it brings: social, familial and financial, among others. I have no doubt you will continue to monitor your creation with the same honesty, modesty and even-handed integrity that we all know you for, and will be generous with your advice as our company’s elder statesman, scientific genius and ethical rudder.

You left an indelible impression on me when I met you in 2015 with Rob Mitro and Neil Rinaldi. Your enthusiasm in attempting to explain what to me was an incomprehensible concept was both baffling and endearing. Rob and Neil had to dumb down your words after I admitted I hadn’t the slightest idea what you were on about, yet you never took offence. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

When I got wind of this PVDM stepping down thing, in a post here and an announcement..
I thought whoa! WTF!!

Went straight to the announcement (not sure there would even be one, but there it was..) with quite a large measure of concern, Peter, being such an obviously central and intregal part of BrainChip and the AKIDA technology developments..

Seeing who is stepping in though, quickly allayed any doubts or fears, I may have had..

BrainChip is moving on up, to a whole new level, on a bigger and better playing field, that we will soon be dominating.

Please don't think I'm taking anything away, from the humble genius, who is Peter Van der Made, but this new guy looks the goods and is definitely not an inferior fill in, by any means..

Dr Tony Lewis's credentials and experience, speak for themselves and look to be nothing but a perfect fit, for BrainChip and where we are going.

Not sure what the initial market reaction will be, Peter being such a key part of the Company, but I think it "should" be hugely positive, just on the strength of this new appointment.

Just my opinion and feel, for this huge development in our journey..

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to summarize yesterdays webinar: "A Spike in Efficiency? - neuromorphic computing and its potential for the automotive industry" from TU Darmstadt (Germany).
Link to webinar
I can´t find it but someone posted it a few days ago in this thread. Thank you!

Summary:
- lecturer was Lea Hofmaier. She works at a research-company called TWT. The company has several well known partners. Slogan is "science and innovation".

- I liked her explanation about basics of neuromorphic computing, bottlenecks of von-Neumann-Architecture. That took about half of the lecture.
- she mentioned Akida and Loihi as examples for neuromorphic chips and went on to the "hey Mercedes" function and stated that there are several other potential use cases in the automotive industry.
- she explained benefits of Akida 2 over Akida 1.
- the following advantages of neuromorphic computing were mentioned by her:
- Advantages: very energy efficient, very low latency, independence from the cloud, on-chip online learning and individual customization
- Challenges: Large scale training still inefficient, current learning algorithms do not yet effective temporal coding.
- conclusion was about efficiency of neuromorphic chips, benefits of using in automotive industry and huge potential of NC and research about NC.

The presentation was quite good and went above my head on some points (I have no background in programming or electrical engineering). She was enthusiastic about the future of SNN and neuromorphic computing and highlighted the benefits several times.

It was a 100% remote and public lecture. There is no recording available.
There were about 20 people in the audience. I looked up some names and some had their company in their name already - there were at least two people from Continental and I guess 3 people from HELLA/FORVIA attending. I didn´´t know HELLA/FORVIA before, but they seem to be a name among automotiv suppliers (36.000 employees). Oh, and I found a R&D Engineer for AI and Neuromorphic Computing from Mercedes in the audience.

I didn´t regret attending and got a very positive feeling.

Greetings from Germany!

Snapdragon

Good post, thanks. According to BRN competitive analysis as at April'23 (at the least) none of its competitors could do it all on chip without making the journey to the cloud.
Interesting - the new Snapdragon chip does not make the journey to the cloud.

So what does this mean? We in on the new snapdragon or there is a competitor out there that can match BRN?

M. Anthony Lewis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

M. Anthony Lewis is an American robotics researcher and currently serves as the Vice President of Hewlett-Packard and the head of Hewlett-Packard's Compute Lab for disruptive edge technologies. Formerly, he served as the Head of was the former Senior Director of Technology at Qualcomm Technologies and was the creator of Zeroth neural processing unit and its software API. He is past CEO of Iguana Robotics, a company specializing in the development of biomorphic robotics technologies.[1]

Lewis received his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California under the guidance of Michael Arbib and George Bekey. He has served on the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Illinois and is currently on the faculty of the University of Arizona.

He is known for his work in evolutionary and biomorphic robotics, formation control of robotic systems, and investigations into the basis of movement control in humans and robots. He collaborated on a project to help paralyzed people, using studies of an eel's nerve circuitry.[2]

In recent work, Lewis and colleagues have demonstrated a robot that claimed to be the most biologically accurate model of human locomotion to date.[3] This robotic uses a muscle architecture much like a human being, a simplified neural circuit meant to mimic neurons in the spinal cord, and sensory feedback mimicking the primary sensory pathways found in human.
