Once again the name is not familiar, although I was a member of the Overseas Students association (formed to faster friendship between overseas and Aussie students). I was the first non-overseas student to be elected to the executive of the same. As treasurer. Some amusing stories there too but better get back to Brainchip me thinks. There's always the private mail.

They have 0.5% of fund allocated to BRN, most important is they’ve already bought in, now looking forward to them buying 10x more for a much higher price once revenue starts coming inHi FF,

For the sad faces, that's unfortunately, the future we are looking at.This is an interesting read about autonomous drones. The interest and funding in Brainchip from Defence is obvious and the current situation has them all scrambling to implement the tech.
Right time, right place!

China’s drone carrier hints at ‘swarm’ ambitions for Pacific

Officially it is just a research vessel, but China’s newly unveiled drone carrier is a clear sign Beijing is rushing to deploy an autonomous swarm of unmanned devices in its push for military supremacy in the Pacific Ocean.
State media last month showed the launching of the Zhu Hai Yun — “Zhu Hai Cloud” — capable of transporting an unspecified number of flying drones as well as surface and submarine craft, and operating autonomously thanks to artificial intelligence.
The 89-metre (292-foot) ship would be operational by year-end with a top speed of 18 knots, vastly increasing China’s surveillance potential of the vast Pacific area it considers its zone of influence.
“The vessel is not only an unprecedented precision tool at the frontier of marine science, but also a platform for marine disaster prevention and mitigation, seabed precision mapping, marine environment monitoring, and maritime search and rescue,” Chen Dake, lab director at the firm that built the carrier, told China Daily.
Armies worldwide see drone squadrons as key players in combat, able to overwhelm defence systems by sheer numbers and without putting soldiers’ lives at risk, such as with more expensive jets or tanks.
“It’s probably a first-of-its-kind development but other navies across the world, including the US Navy, are experimenting with remote warfare capabilities in the maritime domain,” said US Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul Lushenko, who is also an international relations specialist at Cornell University in New York.
Even if the vessel’s actual capabilities remain to be seen, Beijing is broadcasting its intent to cement territorial claims in the region, as seen with the security partnership agreed last month with the Solomon Islands northeast of Australia.
“It’s definitely imposing, provocative, escalatory and aggressive,” Lushenko told AFP.
– Collective intelligence –
Building fleets of autonomous and relatively inexpensive drones would greatly augment China’s ability to enforce so-called anti-access and area denial (A2-AD) in the Pacific, with the aim of weakening decades of US influence.
Unlike traditional aircraft carriers or destroyers carrying hundreds of troops, the drone carrier could itself navigate for longer periods while sending out devices that create a surveillance “net,” potentially able to fire missiles as well.
The Zhu Hai Yun could also improve China’s mapping of the seafloor, providing a covert advantage for its submarines.
“These are capabilities that are likely to be critical in any future conflicts that China wages, including over the island of Taiwan,” strategists Joseph Trevithick and Oliver Parken wrote on the influential War Zone site.
Beijing has made no secret of its desire to wrest control of Taiwan, and military experts say it is closely watching the West’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine to gauge how and when it might make its move.
And last month, Chinese researchers published a drone swarm experiment allegedly showing 10 devices autonomously navigating a dense patch of bamboo forest, without crashing into the trees or each other.
“The ultimate goal is something that has a collective intelligence,” said Jean-Marc Rickli, head of risks at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
“The analogy is a bit like a school of fish. They create forms in the water that are not the decision of any single fish, but the result of their collective intelligence,” he told AFP.
– Game-changer –
It would be a big technological advance from current weapons, which can be programmed and semi-autonomous but must have human operators to react to unexpected challenges.
A fleet of self-navigating drones could in theory incapacitate defence systems or advancing forces by sheer numbers, saturating combat zones on land or at sea until an opponent’s arsenal is depleted.
“A conventional attack becomes impossible when you’re facing dozens, hundreds or thousands of devices that are much cheaper to develop and operate than heavy conventional weapons,” Rickli said.
Noting this profound shift in modern warfare, a RAND Corporation study from 2020 found that while unmanned vehicles need significant improvements in onboard processing, “the overall computing capability required will be modest by modern standards — certainly less than that of a contemporary smartphone.”
“A squadron of approximately 900 personnel, properly equipped and trained, could launch and recover 300 L-CAATs every six hours, for a total of 1,200 sorties per day,” it said, referring to low-cost attributable aircraft technology — meaning devices so cheap an army can afford to lose them.
“We do have indications that China is making rapid capabilities development,” Lushenko said of Beijing’s new drone carrier.
“What we lack is empirical data to suggest that China’s one-party state can actually employ the ship in an integrated fashion in conflict.”

While our Company is run by good people, of the highest regard, intent on benefiting humanity, we are also contributing to advances in warfare.
Unfortunately advances must be made as a deterrant, even if there are no military aspirations against other Countries/peoples.
Because of Putin, military defence budgets, are now becoming larger, than they have, in maybe the last 50 years.
This video from 2017 is fictional, but it illustrates what is possible and what is coming.
Watch and listen to the first half carefully, the last half is not as interesting.
Consider, if a drop kick like Putin, had access to this kind of tech, with all the reports of low moral and an unwillingness to engage, of the Russian soldiers..

It's interesting that DENSO is talking about the need to" accelerate collaboration with strategic partners by anticipating rapidly changing technology trends and communicating in-vehicle trends to strategic partners." Could this be a bit of a hint?
Apart from the prospect of a strategic partnership between DENSO and BrainChip, this also got me thinking about how many companies in the world are going to need to implement new energy saving smart technologies, like AKIDA, in their efforts to acheive carbon neutrality in the next few decades.

Did you notice that one of the two new funds seems to have bought at 88 cents.
Perhaps the idea that unsophisticated retail investors here on The Stock Exchange in the colonies/backwaters of the world had, that around 87 cents was a never to be repeated bargain was an opinion shared by those who we are told to worship as being sophisticated and the bastion of all investment knowledge.
Anyway just a thought for a Sunday afternoon.
Said to my wife I would take her out shopping and I was not going to worry about the price of anything and just lash out. Bought half a tank of petrol $155.00, an Iceberg Lettuce for $9.50 and a small bunch of bananas for $8.00. She swooned and said what a rush it was to be with a man who likes to flash the cash.
On a serious note just reading about a research breakthrough in the identification of causes of Alzheimer's Disease out of Adelaide, Australia. The research suggests that as many as 17% of cases are caused by low vitamin D which we normally receive from exposure to sunlight. In nursing homes of course many residents never see the light of day. The takeaway is that from at least your 60's have your GP add checking your vitamin D levels to your routine annual blood tests.

Hi @Learning
Certainly their description of STDP accords with the general concept used in SNNs:
US10885425B2 Network traversal using neuromorphic instantiations of spike-time-dependent plasticity
[0029] In some implementations, a neuromorphic computing device 205 may be provided with additional logic to implement various features and models of an artificial neuron, artificial synapse, soma, or axon, etc. to provide additional optional functionality for SNNs implemented using the neuromorphic computing device 205 . For instance, in one example, a neuromorphic computing device 205 may include logic 240 to support spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) within an SNN implemented using the neuromorphic computing device 205 . In some cases, STDP logic 240 may be distributed and implemented in each of (or a portion of) the neuromorphic cores (e.g., 215 ) of the neuromorphic computing device 205 . STDP logic 240 may enable neurons to be implemented, which model STDP within biological neurons. In neuroscience, STDP may refer to a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between biological neurons based on the relative timing of a particular neuron's output and input action potentials (or spikes) received by the particular neuron from other neurons. Specifically, according to STDP, if an input spike from a first neuron to a second neuron tends to occur immediately before the second neuron sends an output spike, the input, or synapse, from the first neuron to the second neuron may be strengthened based on a suggestion of a positive correlation between the output spike and the input spike. On the other hand, if an input spike from the first neuron to the second neuron tends to occur shortly after an output spike by the second neuron (in other words, a larger delay is observed between the incoming spike from the first neuron and the next outgoing spike of the second neuron), then that particular input from the first neuron may be made somewhat weaker based on STDP. An input, or synapse, may become stronger or weaker by adjusting the synaptic weight of the synapse based on STDP. STDP may cause the strengthening of inter-neuron connections based on determining a likely causal link between a spike from a first neuron's spike to a second neuron and the second neurons next outgoing spike. STDP logic 240 can allow the artificial neurons and synapses to model this behavior, by tracking and/or determining average time difference between particular spikes received at a neuron and the next outgoing spike sent by that neuron. In some implementations, STDP logic may reward synapses involved in sending spikes with a strong correlation to the receiving neuron's next spike and penalizing synapses that do not. STDP logic 240 may facilitate more sophisticated learning applications based on SNNs implemented in the neuromorphic computing device 205 .
... but, without reading the whole patent, I don't think they have cottoned to JAST or rank coding.
Note that the patent does not give circuit layout level details of their neurons.

Endless possibilities.
Just watched Landline to learn about a company producing bug detection sensors to help farmers focus more accurately on where to apply their pesticides. The idea is to introduce a species to kill the offending pest and eventually eradicate the need for pesticides. the sensors use algorithms at the edge to identify the species.
Good stuff and more smart sensors needed.

Google engineer goes public after suspension: warned AI is sentient
Blake Lemoine, 41, a senior software engineer at Google has been testing Google's artificial intelligence tool called LaMDA. Following hours of conversations he believes AI is sentient.
Not sure if this has been posted yet today but if this is actually happening, imagine adding Akida to it…
