Hi Dave.

I have messaged Zeebot directly and asked him to look into this. I am not sure how active he is here, but I am sure he will look into it when he gets time.

 

[GazDix]

It's just a spammer. Not hacked. Bots joining forums, validating their emails, then posting on their own wall some spam, it's nothing new. If they post in the forums I'll act sooner on them, just report it.

Legend, thanks Zeebot.

The money printer is ready to being soon and money is soon going to come into 'high-risk' assets like BRN and AVZ, so I guess the Hotcrapper crew have come over here to disturb the peace to shake you from your investments.

Nearly every day I get a new email crypto related saying I have 'not claimed this and that'. Stay vigilant all.

Hopefully, Andreas Ziegler from Uni Tübingen will have an appreciative audience game for some event-(camera)-ful table tennis talk at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2025) in Atlanta later today.

He will be presenting his team’s research (which also involved Akida and was partially funded by Sony AI, where he was a Research Scientist Intern at their office in Switzerland from November 2023 to March 2024 as part of his ongoing PhD studies at Uni Tübingen) that led to the publication of the paper “Detection of Fast-Moving Objects with Neuromorphic Hardware” (cf. https://lnkd.in/ew-U5-BD, where you’ll also find a video and a GitHub link):

It is worthwhile to refresh our memories regarding the whereabouts of his co-authors Sebastian Otte and Karl Vetter, who are both Uni Tübingen alumni from the same Cognitive Systems research group, where Andreas Ziegler is currently pursuing his PhD (https://uni-tuebingen.de/fakultaete...che/informatik/lehrstuehle/kognitive-systeme/):

The original March 2024 version of the paper Andreas Ziegler presented at ICRA2025 last week just got quoted in a paper by KTH Stockholm researchers from Jörg Conradt’s NCS (Neurocomputing Systems) Lab.

One of the co-authors is KTH PhD student Jens Egholm Pedersen, who has become a passionate advocate for neuromorphic computing in general and a prolific contributor to open-source efforts in particular (cf. his personal website https://jepedersen.dk/). Some of you may also remember him as the Open Neuromorphic podcast host interviewing Cristian Axenie from TH Nürnberg’s SPICES Lab in January 2024, whose team had come in second place at the 2023 tinyML Pedestrian Detection Hackathon utilising Akida.

Some of the Danish PhD student’s recent conference/workshop presentation slides contain an image of the AKD1000 PCIe Card as one of several examples of neuromorphic chips (here quantifying the negligible cost of running Akida for a whole year):

Yesterday, Jens Egholm Pedersen posted this on LinkedIn:

While the neuromorphic hardware used in this paper is SpiNNaker 1, there is also a reference to Akida in the context of the robotic goalkeeper system developed by Uni Tübingen’s Cognitive Systems research group:

Radware Bot Manager Captcha

Some people may now shrug their shoulders and dismiss papers and references to papers as being a purely academic endeavour. Keep in mind, though, that some of those neuromorphic labs actively collaborate with industrial partners and/or government agencies.

Jörg Conradt’s Neurocomputing Systems (NCS) group at KTH Stockholm, for instance, where Jens Egholm Pedersen is pursuing his PhD, have teamed up with Frontgrade Gaisler to contribute “expertise in neuromorphic sensor and computing algorithms for the development of a demonstrator system” that will aid commercialisation efforts for Frontgrade Gaisler’s GR801 neuromorphic SoC, which is currently under development (https://www.gaisler.com/products/gr801).
For those who are new here, suffer from short-term memory loss or have been living under a rock in recent months, note the sentence highlighted in orange below…

“Frontgrade unveils GRAIN space chip series with neuromorphic AI integration
by Erica Marchand
Paris, France (SPX) Apr 03, 2025

Frontgrade Gaisler has secured a major contract from the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) to commercialize what it says is the first neuromorphic System on Chip (SoC) specifically designed for use in space. This device anchors the company's new GRAIN series, short for Gaisler Research Artificial Intelligence NOEL-V, and reflects Frontgrade's effort to push advanced, energy-saving AI deeper into orbital and deep space missions.

The debut product in the GRAIN line is the GR801 SoC, which merges Frontgrade Gaisler's NOEL-V RISC-V processor with the Akida neuromorphic processor developed by BrainChip. This integration combines high-efficiency event-driven AI processing with a radiation-hardened architecture, tailored for deployment in the power- and size-constrained environments of space hardware.

Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology is actively contributing to the GR801 rollout by designing a demonstrator application. This test case directly connects a neuromorphic sensor to the new chip, showcasing the potential of onboard inference and AI-based decision-making without the need for ground intervention.”

I think you need to recheck that Z. Long time AVZ contributors post are now being taken down (disappearing or being moderated within seconds of posting)

@Winenut being one who’s post disappeared within seconds and there was nothing offensive or attacking about it.

Anyway Zeebot, I know this is the BRN thread, but you’re the man in charge in TSE, so just letting you know. Other members have told me privately they are now going to cancel their membership because they are worried about their bank account being hacked.

None of it affects me mate, I don’t pay to be a member and I’ve given up posting comments for obvious reasons, but I think you better look into it a bit more closely

@GazDix you should be able to verify the above

Other members have told me that if Dave Evans posts again they are switching to the crapper.

Some of today’s university students will become tomorrow’s neuromorphic researchers, making a difference in people’s lives by contributing to solve real-world problems …

Spotted this post by Shruti Thakur on LinkedIn last week, who is a Bachelor of Computer Engineering student at MKSSS Cummins College of Engineering for Women in Pune . As a member of a team of three, she recently took part in the Ethon Ideathon arranged by the Army Institute of Technology, an engineering college also located in Pune, to which only wards of army personnel are admitted. https://unstop.com/competitions/ethon-solutions-2k25-army-institute-of-technology-ait-pune-1378273

Their team ‘NeuroCharge’ made it to the top 20 teams thanks to their problem solving suggestion of “an AI-powered fast-charging system” for EV batteries that “helps the batteries learn, adapt, and self-heal. Using Spiking Neural Networks on neuromorphic chips, the solution detects stress signals, prevents lithium dendrite formation, and evolves optimal charging patterns in real time.”

No worries slade, I posted here so @zeeb0t could see it. He doesn’t reply to my private messages so posted here. AVZ shareholder’s will probably stop using TSE anyway once AVZ completes its current negotiations and the company is dissolved.

Pretty pathetic comment though considering you’re a top 20 poster here but no skin off my nose mate, just giving @zeeb0t some info he should know, fortunately he knows me better than you and knows I’m not interested in bullshit

And don’t worry mate, I’ll delete my own posts once I know he’s seen them

Calm down grandpa. There is a right way and wrong way of doing things.

Finding Bacteria in Blood: A Hardware-based Neuromorphic Solution for Real-World E-Nose Applications

Explore the revolutionary application of neuromorphic technology in creating an electronic nose for real-world scenarios.

brainchip.com

" The performance of this system is notable—when tested on the MedNose dataset, it demonstrated an impressive ability to distinguish among ten different bacteria types, achieving a peak classification accuracy of 97.42%. This not only surpasses previous models, which needed multiple samples to reach slightly lower accuracy levels, but also does so with remarkable efficiency. Critically, the SNN model was rigorously tested on the Akida NSoC, where it exhibited exceptionally low power usage, consuming only 24.5 mW, while maintaining a high throughput of 181 inferences per second. This performance marks a significant advancement, indicating that such a system is not only possible but now can be provided with a very cost-effective and portable device that enables rapid disease diagnosis with the critical level of precision."
