BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Smoothsailing]

Have you ever been to an AGM? Asking for a friend.

Dolci = Turncoat . Nothing but manipulating dribble from your mouth and far from a team player.

 

[Dolci]

Does that mean you still want to buy my akida plates?

I like these better........ but I did like AKIDA....I saw you at the AGM with that hunk of a man, I was gonna talk to you, maybe next time.......

But Dolci, you're making very good money trading it aren't you.
Your charts are telling you when to buy and sell on the rises and falls.
And your sentiment changes noticeably to negative when you have sold and are hoping/expecting the price to fall so you can buy in again at a lower price.
Then you only express positives when you hope/expect the price to rise so you can sell at a higher price.
Surely BRN is a dream stock for you to trade.
Beyond the flexible narrative you require to back your trading positions, what do you care about the success or not of the company?

.....45c to 32c isn't bad,........ is it?, so far, but mid-twenties is the go where the safe water is at the moment ..........

You must have asked someone which one was me, sneaky you (could have been the drive by too) ... and I haven't heard word "hunk" (in a long time) of a man for the one that was sitting next to me lol You can tell him yourself in May! Well one day I might have a car that has Akida inside so the plates will be sitting proud And $2.22 sounds good by Agm

Edge AI could test Starlink's mettle​

By Diana Goovaerts Jan 15, 2025 2:35pm

"Edge systems on the planet are much less expensive, relatively easy to deploy and maintain, and can be updated as often as needed and at a reasonable cost,” Jack Gold noted.

• AI workloads are expected to move from centralized training to inferencing at the edge
• Starlink might have more trouble serving these workloads than terrestrial telcos
• Latency, power and compute are key issues

Starlink burst onto the broadband scene in recent years, lighting up industry conversations like a supernova. But could the hype around the company end up flaming out in the era of edge AI?

The question is an interesting one and the answer, according to several analysts is: it depends.

Certainly, Starlink has a lasting place in the broadband conversation due to its unique ability to quickly connect folks in remote areas. And depending on how the next few years play out – that is, if the company secures money from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program for expansions and gets its hands on more spectrum – it could become an even more prominent figure in the broadband scene.

But there are two things that artificial intelligence (AI), and edge AI in particular, requires that Starlink lacks: low latency and compute.
As Colin Campbell, SVP of Technology for North America at Cambridge Consultants, noted, “If you want to be truly on the edge, you want to be as close as possible [to end users], and space networks aren’t close” by definition. Additionally, satellites by design have limited space for the compute power required to process edge AI workloads at scale.

Sure, you could send those workloads to ground for processing, he said, but that would just add to the latency issue.

According to Starlink’s website, the company currently provides typical latency of 25 to 60 milliseconds (ms), with latency climbing to over 100 ms for certain extremely remote locations. While that sounds high compared to the 10-20 ms of latency fiber providers like AT&T and Frontier provide, it’s not actually that much of a problem – at least not yet.

If you want to be truly on the edge, you want to be as close as possible [to end users], and space networks aren’t close.
Colin Campbell, SVP of Technology for North America, Cambridge Consultants

Why? Well, as Recon Analytics founder Roger Entner told Fierce “We are still looking for the use case where a few milliseconds or even 10 or 20 milliseconds of additional latency make a difference.”

Houston, we have some problems​

Jack Gold, of J. Gold Associates, pointed out there are a few other factors that likely won’t work in Starlink’s favor when it comes to serving edge AI. First, satellites don’t exactly get updated that often for obvious reasons. And second, they’re expensive.
In contrast, “edge systems on the planet are much less expensive, relatively easy to deploy and maintain, and can be updated as often as needed and at a reasonable cost,” he noted.


Then there’s just the nature of how satellite networks function. “You are not always connected to the same one even for the same communications,” Gold added. “The satellites will pass you off to the next one as they fly by overhead. So, if you are computing something on one, it may not even finish by the time you move to the next satellite…So it seems impractical to run AI on the satellite.”
And then there’s the question of what running any real AI compute on a satellite would do to the bird’s power load. If it increases it too high, that “may be a problem in getting enough solar power or at the least would add more costs,” Gold said.
Long story short, there seem to be a lot of drawbacks to the prospect of running edge AI applications on satellites. But there could be one use case that could end up being Starlink’s Goldilocks zone.
“For some applications, satellites may be the way to interact with terrestrial based edge systems, especially for remote use cases where latency is not a critical issues (e.g., not health or safety related, where a few seconds or even minutes won’t affect outcomes negatively), or if there is no real terrestrial network to access,” Gold concluded.
It’s hard to know how or even if Starlink is thinking about offering edge AI services. Fierce tried to reach out to the company via its parent SpaceX (since apparently Starlink lacks a media contact) but got no response. Starbase, we’re here if you want to talk.

Axel von Arnim, Head of Neuromorphic Computing at fortiss, the München/Munich-based Research Institute of the Free State of Bavaria for software-intensive systems (https://www.fortiss.org/en/about-fortiss), uploaded this YouTube video titled Tonus, an interactive scientific-artistic sound installation with a neuromorphic brain, that was exhibited at the Deutsches Museum in Munich as part of the Festival der Zukunft (Festival of Future) in June.

The video doesn’t specify what neuromorphic tech was being used.
Since Axel von Arnim and his researchers at fortiss have been enamoured by Loihi and SpiNNaker, and have also collaborated with IBM on SNNs in a project that involves event-based cameras, chances are Akida wasn’t part of the set-up, but no matter whose tech they used, this is a great way for the public to get exposed to neuromorphic technology in general!

fortiss on LinkedIn: #zukunftstechnologie #innnovation #neuromophiccomputing…

Wir sind beim Festival der Zukunft 💫 im Deutschen Museum in München dabei! Ein Wochenende voller Sommer, Technologien und Ideen für eine bessere…

www.linkedin.com

Speaking of exposure:
fortiss researcher Jules Lecomte - who was responsible for the sound installation’s neuromorphic brain and can also be seen in the video - has since definitely had exposure to Akida, as he was one of the mentors for the winning team in the Neuromorphic Hackathon jointly organised by fortiss and neuroTUM in mid-November, alongside Gregor Lenz (Neurobus) and Arunkumar Rathinam (University of Luxembourg).

Master of Neuromorphic Engineering (8123) < Western Sydney University

hbook.westernsydney.edu.au

Good to know that year after year there are going to be a bunch of engineers graduating from an Australian University with an understanding of Neuromorphic Computing.

With Andre Van Schaik on our advisory board, I'd assume students will know all about Akida.

Neuromorphic Engineering is an exciting inter-disciplinary field combining aspects from electrical engineering, computer science, neuroscience, signal processing and mathematics fields. The Master of Neuromorphic Engineering offers students an opportunity to partner with high-profile industry partners in a research project, mentored by leading researchers from the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems at the MARCS Institute. This program seeks to address the rapidly growing demand for alternative inter-disciplinary technologies, such as bio-inspired agile sensory systems, smart edge devices, and brain-inspired high performance computational platforms. The students will be introduced to state-of-the-art neuromorphic hardware, sensors and algorithms in a highly structured way that increases their acumen for approaching new situations with creativity and initiative.

ELEC 6003 Neuromorphic Accelerators (10 Credit Points)
Subject Details Legacy Code: 800231
Problem-oriented thinking and distributed system design are essential for neuromorphic engineers. This subject is designed to provide students with sufficient understanding to neuromorphic processor. Students will be able to implement spiking neural networks by programming neuromorphic processors The lab work and programming assignments focus on different key aspects of programming neuromorphic processor: Neural modelling, Python programming, debugging code and hardware/software co-simulation. The workshops focus on the concrete implementation of neural networks.

COMP 6002 Neuromorphic Sensing (10 Credit Points)
Subject Details Legacy Code: 800233
Neuromorphic sensors offer a new way to electronically sense and process data that have a unique structure based on principles found in biology. Understanding how they operate is integral to their effective use in practical situations, to the development of algorithms, process their data, and to the optimisation of their electronic designs. This subject focuses primarily on neuromorphic vision sensors, which are rapidly being adopted by multiple industries, including exciting applications in automotive and space. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of neuromorphic sensors and the skills to operate a neuromorphic sensor for acquiring data and solving real-world problems. This practical experience is in high demand from both research labs and the industry.

I don't think this recently published research paper has been posted here previously.

I can't access the whole paper to see what processor was used but it does refer to Prophesee's event camera.

If we were taken over for $3 per share.
Assuming we as a growth company are deserving of a PE of 30 that assumes an Earning per share of 10 cents per share.
So for $3 per share the buyer would be paying for net earnings of $200 million.
Sean is on record stating that IP licence model has circa 90% net margin.
If that is the case the buyer would be paying for a revenue of circa $222mill pa.
Given our prospects as global industry leader we probably would expect more than $222mill revenue pa.
I expect then that the BOD probably would have a 'thumbs down' for $3 a share.

Can't even hit a dollar at this stage, nor 10 mill revenue... I wouldn't mind a big company or companies to invest in us and help us grow... many start-ups fail, not necessarily because of lack of tech but due to lack of revenue or ability to close sales... look at EVs, the concept of EV existed for decades but only Elon has marketed it successfully.... IMO
