I hope she doesn’t make your life hell for buying a house instead of a bunch of new shares next week.

I had to buy the house before I could buy anymore shares but she’ll probably still moan that I’ll be buying more shares. Can never win

This slmple principle should be a patent?

Sorry itso,

The drawing is just one of several, that one illustrating the analog multiplication element. I chose this to illustrate the analog part of the neuron where the multiplication is accumulated in the capacitor.

The digital part includes a row of flip-flops to count the spikes from the corresponding row as shown, for example, in:


US2023115373A1 ACCUMULATOR FOR DIGITAL COMPUTATION-IN-MEMORY ARCHITECTURES 20211013

The actual invention is defined in the claims of the patent, but these are are often in arcane patentese.

I haven't looked into these patents in detail, but it looks like Qualcomm are using single-bit, or possibly 2-bit, analog multipliers which, together with the digital summation, would largely circumvent the problems with manufacturing repeatability (variations in the size/spacing of the capacitor plates). The error effect of the variations escalates exponentially with the number of bits per neuron.

Did I assume it right? There will be a Pico board "available" or is in planning?

Even searching the keywords "AKIDO Pico", comes up with more exposure for BRN. I'm actually quite surprised at the amount of exposure we are now getting..... hope its a good sign.

I think I've been on a bit of a roll tonight, so I might just roll over to the couch and watch some music videos on Youtube., and then usually fall asleep in front of the TV

And for those of you that haven't heard of Bill McClintock, you may want to check out some of his music video mash ups. They are brilliant.

Here is a couple of good ones....

[DingoBorat]

He is basically calling it a scam, no more spiking than his hair after a rough pillow.

That's an outright lie, and he should be forced to apologize or kicked out on Linkedin.

This David Wyatt guy, might be able to think more clearly, if he removes the carrot from his arse..

...and this shows an asynchronous clock divider – nothing special besides the worst asynchronous behavior.
