California is No 4 in the list of highest overall taxes and on income tax they are number 1.Just out of interest Income and State taxes in California outlined below.
Mentioning because of all the crap about Sean and the BOD selling converted vested RSU shares to pay tax- mainly on the crapper.
Aussies have this 'idea' that taxes in the USA are generally low because the Fed rate is lower but its not widely understood that other taxes apply. They get really peed off on the crapper when i post about Sean and Tony V holdings and the whopping size of inside holdings.
- Federal income tax: 22% (37% once your supplemental wages exceed $1,000,000)
- California income tax: 10.23%
- Medicare tax: 1.45%
- Additional Medicare tax: 0.9% (once your total wages exceed $200,000)
- Social Security tax: 6.2% (up to the wage limit)
- California State Disability Insurance: 1.2% (up to the wage limit). If you don’t live in California, your locality may have its own version of state disability or other payroll taxes.

Emerging Developments in Neuromorphic Chips
Recent advancements in neuromorphic chip designs indicate a strong push towards their adoption in mobile technology:
- BrainChip’s Akida Pico: This chip has been specifically designed for use in power-constrained environments such as mobile devices. Its architecture supports efficient neural processing while maintaining low energy consumption.
I can paint your house champ however Iam not very technically. Well dun on this up date tho I appreciate it…cheersUse Perplexity instead... because, it scores with high factual accuracy, the ability to search the Internet in real time and provides citations for its answers. It is particularly useful for precise research and up-to-date information queries.
ChatGPT is ... lets say more versatile in content creation, including creative texts such as poems and scripts, and offers a fluid conversational experience. However, it is not always up to date with the latest information. So kind of more creative than fact based....

But .... BrainChip envisions that key applications for the Akida Pico will include voice wake detection, keyword recognition, noise suppression, presence detection, wearables, and personal voice assistants. It can also be used in appliances for voice control and is particularly effective for wearable AI and smart home devices. As BrainChip puts it, ultra-low-power consumption of the Akido Pico is optimized for 'extreme edge AI,' possibly implying on emerging devices that do not exist yet.
"Like all of our Edge AI enablement platforms, Akida Pico was developed to further push the limits of AI on-chip compute with low latency and low power required of neural applications," said Sean Hehir, CEO at BrainChip. "Whether you have limited AI expertise or are an expert at developing AI models and applications, Akida Pico and the Akida Development Platform provides users with the ability to create, train and test the most power and memory efficient temporal-event based neural networks quicker and more reliably."

A little off topic but there is not a means test for Social Security in the US.Just out of interest Income and State taxes in California outlined below.

Funnily enough, a lot of Intel's spiking NN patents use a variable oscillator in a rate-based coding arrangement. That means the neurons are "active" in generating the oscillations, which would add to power consumption and latency.
It's almost as if they had not read Edgar Adrian's 1920's paper which formed the basis of Thorpe's Spikenet N-of_M coding.
Yes. I don't bear any ill will towards Intel. They mead great computers last millenium.Exactly Dio.........Intel are hanging onto our coat tails, we are actually commercial, they are from my vantage point, still wearing their
lab coats, Intel as a company have so many issues it play, even with the new CEO (did Pat finally fall on his sword ?) she has a mammoth
task ahead of her, the old Intel carried a lot of weight years ago, but I personally don't view Mike and his team a threat to us at all.
I do know that our key leaders within Brainchip have a lot of respect for Mike (Davies) but we are ahead of them, that I feel comfortable
saying, you can only ride the wave of yesteryear for so long....the power of the name Intel, is a fading star, purely my view, many may
totally disagree with me, and that's all good.
Cheers....Tech
You have a point Manny that market is not big enough and that is why not enough competition.Sean as the BOD 'mouthpiece' has stated that the aim is in a decade, is that BRN will be one of the top 3 leaders of 'Edge' providers.
That is why we need to move 'big' in 2025. One decent deal and we are off and running on the way to build something really special.
No real fear of competition right now as that will come later when the market is huge and we are well on the way to being a large business with established clients.
Large markets attract new entrants. The market is not large ATM.
Fortunately our whopping level of inside ownership will either block any takeover attempts or force a huge to good to refuse premium.
I’ll be just happy with any deal that propels us past the $1 mark atm.Fortunately our whopping level of inside ownership will either block any takeover attempts or force a huge to good to refuse premium.
Hey @TECH have you extended your Jan 2025 timeline by anychance?Gidday Super....first off, thank you for your steady stream of excellent articles week in and week out, I, like many, do appreciate your
efforts to highlight any interesting articles or comments from within the semi-conductor industry that generally always acknowledge
our company is creating a lot of interest at the Edge, I still see a big future at a later date at the opposite end of the spectrum, that is,
data centres, that environment has to change, data centres may still be useful today, but the way technology just continues to accelerate
there seems to be a big disconnect on the horizon, in my opinion at least.
The other thing that is a little annoying with our company's written dialogue is for example, in the press release regarding the AFRL
1.8 Mil contract the other day, I was one of many whom initially thought that we were receiving a fee of $800,000 from an unknown
subcontractor to provide R&D to develop and optimize what we know best, AKIDA II and TENN's.....but I was wrong.
The other thing that definitely needs sorting out is this:
TENN's - Temporal Event (Based) Neural Networks
or is it
TENN'S - Temporal Embedded Neural Networks
or is it
TENN's - Temporal Enabled Neural Networks
It has been quoted in a variety of ways, even our own staff have referred to TENN's in different ways...clear definition is a must.
Tech...(NZ)
I never said $1 for a decade target or made any $ prediction al all in my post.manny has pushed his out a decade so the dollar party may be a way off.
Given that Tata Exsli have publicly committed to using AKIDA its a fair bet its us.Hopefully when the senior Scientist from Tata says “ our Spiking Neural Network “ he’s meaning our partners Brainchip

Where it can be used? -- In stabilizing a drone in high wind, docking a space ship perfectly on a space station, controlling and balancing an automated car etc. Stay tuned as we delve into exploring potential power efficiencies on neuromorphic boards and market opportunities. Exciting times ahead!
