Hi All
If a hint of Mercedes Benz led to $2.34 which it did then what would a hint of Sam Altman do to sentiment?
All I can say is remember to have a plan.
My opinion only DYOR

I agree with you 100%
But AMD wants to be a market leader and how the leader will look like if in next 12 months another company launch a product 1000 times more power efficient than theirs.
AMD is a 250 billion plus company and if they cannot find the right product in the market that means their team can be considered incapable.
Just my thoughts.

Tech,Hi All.....try not to get too excited as the year has only really just begun ! 5 weeks in 47 weeks to go, so much to unpack this
year, didn't realize that I had so many suitcases !! or should I say, fingers in so many pies.
First off, today's market while pleasing to watch, was never a 0.245c market, only 6 lines for a minute sum of 67,216 shares.
News is definitely coming, as we wait on the official acknowledgement that our Edge-Box is available NOW.
We also have, which in my opinion maybe the most interesting Annual Report we've had to date, expect it to be released within
about 10 business days, LDA Capital of around 10 Million USD and Revenue that we may not have expected (shareholders that is).
The Universe seems to have a way of balancing things out over time, our Founder/s deserve to be blessed, wouldn't it be fitting
to see both Peter and Anil truly celebrated by their peers worldwide, that day is fast approaching in my opinion.
"The red balloon is up....racing this time"............AKIDA 1 AKIDA 2.....no 3rd dividend...Tech.
Another day closer
and a beautiful way to start the weekend.
I do believe that the tide is coming back in, it’s been a very low tide the moon must have been to far away or that on the Eve of the year of the Dragon it will play out well for us.
I am so very excited for the coming months of the company reveals.

AMD, could be another Kodak in the making..
"Kodak was once one of the most successful companies in the world, known for its pioneering work in the field of photography. However, the story of Kodak is also one of failure, as the company failed to adapt to changing technologies and market trends, ultimately leading to its decline"
Even their logos, bear a striking resemblance

Remember, "Happy" started out with a "Hockey stick"
G'day DB,
Was thinking about this a while back and as luck would have it, this song came on the radio today.
So........When BRN get around to the full media circus product launch (think Windows 95 with "Start Me Up"), maybe we could go with this.
I reckon it fits......Cause, We got one, two, three, four, five......

Lemon grass vapes hey?Hi All
I was criticised on HC for being critical of the current state of education in Australia.
I think this week however clearly vindicates my opinion as it is obvious that it has taken those who have participated in the education system over the last thirty years with their learned short attention spans the best part of three weeks to get through to the end of the CES2024:
1.OnSemi Brainchip podcast,
2. Infineon Brainchip podcast,
3. Microchip Brainchip podcast, and the
4. Edge Impulse Brainchip podcast and then to finish reading all about
6. Mywai Brainchip Ai platform partnership,
7. EDGX Brainchip ESA partnership win,
8. ANT61 AKIDA space launch,
9. VVDN AKIDA Edge Box and
10. Unigen AKIDA Edge Server, and come to the sudden realisation while having a lemon grass vape that Brainchip is hugely undervalued.

Yes DB, finally something from our new CTO.Wow!
Are these the first public words of our new CTO Dr Anthony Lewis???
I'm blown away by that comment!!
Im wondering where and if we will get a podcast this month as it was stated that we will.
For me, a podcast where Dr AL sits down with PVDM would be a gret communication with shareholders, .............as i recall "better comms with shareholders " is a priority, ................. last AGM
Discussing why the BOD felt it a good idea to have a joint CTO at this point in the companies development,
How it will be beneficial to have "dual CTO"s working from opposite sides of the world,
Does this appointment mean more time for PVDM to carry on with research/development ?
Footnote to management: if thier is a podcast this month, pls can we not include our CEO.
Its my opinion that to date, SH has much to grow as a CEO.

Top song, with quite a few applicable lyrics..
"And all the world is football-shaped It's just for me to kick in space" (BRN)
"And all the world is biscuit-shaped It's just for me to feed my face" (shareholders)
Shareholders should be wary of the "deadly sins" Gluttony and Sloth, in the Future.. Along with the rest I guess
..The tune does sound a little dated though, for something as ground breakingly revolutionary, as AKIDA..
Maybe we need something more modern and upbeat?..
No Esq111... No...

This started out as something else, but it's turned out to be about Rain Ai again.
It's easy to understand the allure of analog, as, in theory, analog is a direct "analog" of the neuronal system. Hence much of the early attempts at electronic neurons and academic research has focused on analog. Some small 1-bit analog systems may have achieved tantalizingly passable results, but the accumulating error limits their development.
Analog neurons work by summing the currents through controllable impedances called ReRAMS, The currents are applied to a summing impedance so the voltage across that impedance is proportional to the sum of the ReRAM currents. Measuring that voltage is supposed to provide a count of the number of ReRAMs through which current has flowed into the summing impedance. The problem is that the ReRAM impedances and the summing impedances are not uniform but suffer from defects such as manufacturing variability.
One notable failure of an attempt to even more closely mimic the wetware neuron using analog is Rain AI, which initially sought to reproduce the complexity of neuronal connexions by the use of insulated nanowires with random connections.

https://www.eetimes.com/rain-demonstrates-ai-training-on-analog-chip/
Neurons can have 10,000 connexions. The human brain's configuration, the neuronal connexions, are determined by DNA and sensory experience. For example, the autonomous activations of breathing and heart beat are pre-programmed into the brain as it develops. The sensory wiring is in part preprogrammed. This is determined by genetic code, not by randomness.
The Rain inventors hoped that the system could be trained to recognize coherent data by feeding large amounts of activations into the system until it learned something, thereby inventing infinite-shot learning.
Because the brain can learn instantaneously, it is clear that new physical connexions cannot be grown instantaneously, so existing connexions must be involved in learning. This suggests that neurons include dormant connexions, some of which are activated when new data is learned. This is imitated by the "weights" of the artificial neuron. In an electronic brain, the weights can be electronically switched on and off, allowing the neuron to be repurposed when the neural network is programmed with a new model, whereas, in a natural brain, the group of activated weight synapses must be retained to store the data in memory. Assuming that neurons can be involved in remembering more than one item, this suggests that different groups of synapses connected to a neuron are activated when different data is being recognized. So a programmed synapse has a permanent ON memory function and a switchable ON/OFF control responsive to activations. The activation data determines which group of synapses and their weights are switched on.
An interesting thing is that the brain has the capability to stimulate memories without external activation.
At the beginning nof 2022, Rain still planned to go ahead with the analog random nanowire synapses:
"Rain’s vision is a fully analog, asynchronous, ultra-low power, tileable, scalable chip with capacity for 100 billion parameters that can imitate the human brain. While this work used a crossbar memristor array, Rain’s hardware roadmap still includes migration to randomly connected ReRAM cells as the technology matures."

Remember that, in 2019, Sam Altman agreed to buy $M51 of Rain's chips off the drawing board:
OpenAI Agreed to Buy $51 Million of AI Chips From a Startup Backed by CEO Sam Altman | WIRED
www.wired.com
OpenAI in 2019 signed a nonbinding agreement to spend $51 million on the chips when they became available, according to a copy of the deal and Rain disclosures to investors this year, seen by WIRED. Rain told investors that Altman had personally invested more than $1 million in the company. The letter of intent has not been previously reported.
Having spent, no doubt, many hours unsuccessfully attempting to achieve the Frankenstein moment, Rain now boasts the virtues of its yet-to-see-daylight digital NN:
