Buy/Sell Ratio looking a bit more positive!! 
Maybe. Apart from the robotic arm powered by Akida, Ant61 also have their product called the Beacon, that was meant to prevent this type of mishap.Hmmmm, more fodder for the doubters I guess...........
Best thing is to think of SpaceX's initial rocket launch that failed, but look at them now.

I hear what you're saying but Ant61 certainly doesn't have the financial resources of SpaceX. Here's hoping they can find the funding to have another crack.........

This unfortunate failure is not reflective on Akida.
Space is a difficult and unforgiving proving ground.
Everyone who has ever ventured there has the scars to prove it.
It is just why eventual success is so valuable and illustrative that we continue our associations with NASA, ESA and the private operations into the future. Once proven in these "stretching the envelope" type scenarios, identifying spoiled fruit in the fridge, or our tabby from the neighbours at the cat door, will be a doddle.
Commiserations to the team at Space Machines.
Hopefully you can gather your resources and move on to greater success.

Interesting response to the question posed by Markus May
Alf Kuchenbuch, how do you assess the general interest at ICNCE 24 and what is your conclusion?
VP of Sales, EMEA at Brainchip

Dear Markus May, Thank you for this great question.
I was only able to attend the conference for 1 day this year, but I will be back next year for more. Then I hope to meet Max Lemme and all the other experts in their fields.
I experienced the congress as academic (as it's meant to be, I think), so I am not sure if the amazing scientific efforts which I saw invested in neuromorphic processing reflect the general interest of the industry. What I can say from my own perspective: I think it's time for neuromorphic processing to boldly step into visibility!
Part of that missing visibility today is the fact that lowcost neuromorphic hardware is not readily available. An example: a few weeks ago I ordered an Arduino Nicla Vision online for small money. 2 days later I had it on my desk. I downloaded the IDE and was able to experience a lot of Nicla's capabilities within a few hours. When I got stuck I watched a few tutorial videos on Youtube and browsed the Arduino forum to find support. It was so easy - and fun! - to gain hands-on experience with this Arduino.
I don't see this in neuromorphic processing… How cool would it be to have a similar experience… Just my personal 2 cents - and my Christmas wish to Santa Claus.

'Heartbreaking for our team’: Founders push forward after losing contact with Aussie satellite
After a month of conjecture, Space Machines Company founders Rajat Kulshrestha and George Freney address the Optimus mission exclusively to Forbes Australia in their own words.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
—Theodore Roosevelt

“Next giant leap
But, as SpaceX and others have demonstrated, setbacks are inevitable and necessary milestones on the path to success. What separates the explorers from bystanders is having the courage to persist, the resolve to capitalise on learnings, and the resilience to bounce back stronger from shortfalls.Our focus remains on the new missions on the horizon. We already have plans to build our next Optimus spacecraft and have been proud to have the support of the Australian Space Agency, as well as our many partners. Set to launch in 2026, our next-generation spacecraft will incorporate valuable lessons learnt from our first mission.
Having demonstrated what a small, determined Australian team can achieve through relentless perseverance, our outlook is steeled with even greater ambition and confidence.
The story of Optimus encapsulates the essence of the Australian spirit. Our nation has an immense opportunity to embrace this pioneering mindset and lead humanity’s next great leap into the high frontier of space exploration and innovation.
Make no mistake - the journey ahead will be paved with further tribulations and trials. But this is the price that must be paid to cement Australia’s status as a space power catalysing critical innovation for the future of our pale blue dot. So we press onward, undaunted, with a simple creed echoing the words of Teddy Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts ... The credit belongs to [those who are] actually in the arena.””
I’m excited
so, you see your mindset is not recommendable for people who search solutions and see the positive vibes of changing times! That’s exciting times especially for an Australian company who made its first steps Into space! And also, you don’t even know what is responsible for losing the contact. But all you can do is taking an article regarding the mission and connect it with brainchip because you want to point out negativity. If they would write something positive, you would say “hmm nothing mentioned about akida”I’m excited“Next giant leap

Sure you are. But you don't seem to have any critical facility.
If Sean can't find a licensee for our IP, he should look for a wealthy partner to buy some of our shares. A lot of them.
To keep diluting the value of existing shareholders and raise money from capital raising at this stage is lazy and contemptible.
So you're not really excited are you.. You're asleep with half a frankfurter rolling about your chaise-lounge. Wake up!

Possibly given the Laguna but could just an indenifier and is outsourced remote through R Systems on contract for ~ 9 mths. Sounds almost project based on something
I wouldn’t read too much into it.
It’s the exact wording indeed - a copy-and-paste of a recent BrainChip job description (3/3), except for the header and the duration info (6-9 months contract to hire), whereas the original BrainChip job description appears to be about a permanent contract with annual compensation stated to be in the range of US$ 125,000 - US$ 200,000.
There are currently three job openings listed on the BrainChip website:
View attachment 64048
While we don’t know whether these are additional jobs created due to high demand from current resp. prospective customers or replacements for employees having left / about to leave our company, these job descriptions are nevertheless intriguing, as they offer a glimpse at things to come.
I merely skimmed them, underlining some parts I found particularly informative, but as a technical layperson, I may have missed some crucial new info that would be quite obvious to others here.

I like the way BrainChip and Akida are being described here:
“Come join the company leading the technical revolution in artificial intelligence. BrainChip is a global technology company producing a groundbreaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities of other products.”
Self-driving cars! Obviously no surprise as such, as we all know that those will benefit from neuromorphic technology, but wasn’t the more general term “automotive” used until now?
We hadn’t really heard about agricultural equipment in a while, had we?
Real-time operating systems (ROTS) - makes sense because of the ultra-low latency required for those, but I can’t recall having stumbled across the term before.

What is meant by “the Akida 1.0/2.0 hardware device”?

team experience required for this player-coach position.
This job description sounds to me as if they are looking for an almost superhuman chief cook and bottle washer?!
Also interesting that applicants should preferably have a B.Sc. in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering; however, experience in lieu of education will be considered!
I had already noticed in last month’s job offer for a new HR manager (replacing Sheila Sabanal-Lau) that our company recently implemented cost saving measures by limiting the legendary free lunch to 2-3 times a week!
As this supposed R Systems job listing doesn’t show up on the company’s own website, though, I’ll venture a guess it was most likely some sort of company mix-up by a Dice employee?

Also, R Systems doesn’t even have an office anywhere in BrainChip’s Southern California vicinity, only one near Sacramento.
I can imagine BrainChip engineers being deployed to other companies for technical support, but not other companies’ engineers placed with BrainChip at their Laguna Hills HQ?
Also to me this job description doesn’t point to a one-off project, but to a comprehensive role within the company.

So people moan about the shorters pushing the SP down, but what’s everyone prospective regarding the recent jump in sp from 0.16 to over 0.4 only to see it fall back to 0.2 again? As this must be an orchestrated pump and dump by someone? Or is it the same people that that know how to short the SP that also know how to pump and dump it?

Brainchip is a brainchild of PVDM and then Anil joined as Co founder. From day one PVDM is believing on technology and very less on market forces. Brainchip never try to give any financial institution a big favor ( other than the deal with LDA) even worse they never try to make a big tech company a joint partner. Producing like Nvidia needs a lot of capital investments and brainchip theory does not like trying to explore those options. As a company founders and management are happy with small holders. It is a risk brainchip is negotiating through last 8-9 years. So now when we are so close to success I don't think brainchip should change their position and practically speaking the same may not be possible either until present management proves the worth in the technology.
So yes NVidia and their business model is a distant dream for brainchip.
