Won't dump all in the post but worth a look.

Personally think Akida has potential for direct impact into the top 8 and supporting impacts to 9 & 10.

Bodes very well imo.

I completely agree @Fullmoonfever—AI, the edge, and even neuromorphic computing proliferate all those trends.

And I learnt a new concept “QuantumAI“. That sounds real interesting. Yay I have a new concept to understand and in which to look for companies doing bleeding edge research. I expect Archer Materials may be one such company; the CEO Mohammad Choucair is a very clever fella, and runs a highly progressive company. Not to mention they already have a quantum chip!

It’s a pity that a trading scam using the name already exists.

I do like QuAIL though—Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab—and the idea of using quantum computing to assist machine learning. I expect that might be the extent of it.

Will there ever be a CNN or even a SNN of quantum processors. In a way, that is sort-of how quantum computing works—every conceivable answer to a problem is computed in parallel and then a voting or weighting system declares the most appropriate answer. You are not guaranteed to get the same answer each time, but the answer you do get will still be correct!

And we all thought WANCAs were having a hard time understanding Akida.

Then you might like this read.

It popped up when I was doing some searching (Nintendo links haha) couple nights ago and doesn't involve Akida unfortunately so I just read it but have dug it up again for you.

Has brief bit on quantum but it's what the AI did that's interesting.

An artificial intelligence has discovered alternative laws of physics​

August 9, 2022 Aditya Khavanekar


A snip of couple things the researchers said....

Their work is based on a camera that observes the evolution of a physical system, such as a pendulum. And this is the one and only resource at his disposal. From these simplistic visual examples, the AI is responsible for determining the number of parameters needed to describe the behavior of the system in question. In a very colorful way, it’s a bit like a genius scientist rediscovering physics in real time in a parallel dimension.

The researchers were therefore curious to see if the AI would also find four parameters, which could possibly indicate that it would have followed the same reasoning as humans. But the answer proposed was very surprising: to describe the double pendulum, the system estimated that it would be necessary… 4.7 settings.

The researchers therefore repeated the experiment with other already well-documented mechanical systems. And each time, the outcome was the same: the algorithm consistently succeeded in predicting the evolution of the mechanical system based on entirely new variables that did not correspond to any parameter of Newtonian physics.

“ Without any prior knowledge of the physical mechanisms involved, our algorithm discovered the intrinsic dimensions of the observed dynamics and identified sets of state variables “, explain the researchers. In short, this AI doesn’t just think outside the box; she downright imagines new ways of getting around.

This was another write up of the same experiment and has some of the images / footage used to test plus the research doc link.

Hidden Variables

Force, Mass, Acceleration. These are the three variables that make up Newton’s iconic equation F=MA. But how did Newton know about these concepts in the first place? A precursor step to...

Have a look at the new Fujifilm flagship and its new subject recognition and tracking AF deep learning abilities. Of course in offline mode. Sounds like one shot learning, could this be the missing link to MegaChips? As it is known that MegaChips does product development for one of the big Japanese cameramakers, it's not too far away.

Fujifilm X-H2S review

The Fujifilm X-H2S is the company's most ambitious APS-C camera, using a 26MP Stacked CMOS sensor to deliver the fastest shooting, best autofocus and most extensive video specs of any X-series camera yet. We tell you what you need to know in our full review.

www.dpreview.com

This review is in German only, sorry. Here's the part in English which takes attention:

But what's really new about autofocus is precise object-oriented scene recognition. The algorithm was developed using deep learning technology and recognizes and tracks faces and eyes, but also animals, birds, cars, motorcycles and other subjects such as ships. We tested this in portrait shooting and with city pigeons - both worked perfectly. The camera recognized and tracked the subjects unerringly and without difficulty.

“Tesla’s major deployment of so-called Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible actions by a car company in decades,” Nader said in a statement about the autonomous system on his website.
“Together we need to send an urgent message to the casualty-minded regulators that Americans must not be test dummies for a powerful, high-profile corporation and its celebrity CEO. No-one is above the laws of manslaughter.”

My grumpy old man theory on Tesla compared with legacy car makers.

When I was a boy everyone expected that when you went to the shop and bought something/anything and took it home it would work. It would last and its useable life could be extended almost indefinitely by being repaired using easily obtained replacement parts from the maker.

Then overtime manufacturers were sold the idea they could sell more if they built in obsolescence and reduced availability of spare parts forcing consumers to replace products thereby creating further demand.

The legacy automobile makers followed this model as well.

What did not change however was that the product would work. If it did not work you took it back and they gave you a new one because it was agreed between manufacturer, retailer and customer that this was a bottom line products were not to be sold if all the development and design work had not been completed.

Automobile manufacturers understood this pact well and built private test tracks and vehicles were not sold to the public until they worked. Mercedes, Ford, GMH, VW did not release vehicles to the public until to their belief they were finished and fit for purpose.

Enter the technology age and the idea that technology makers did not have to abide by this pact with retail and consumers. Products were released before the development and testing was complete on the basis that they could simply issue a fix or work around and the idea of using the consumer as the test bed was born.

This approach to manufacturing gained momentum with the availability of the internet and mobile phone and computer manufacturers the tech industry fell in love with the idea of releasing products with flaws and fixing them over the internet if consumers discovered them in their new role as the test bed.

Enter Tesla. It has been said many times that the success of Tesla has been that it has come to automotive from the technology sector unhampered by the old ideas of legacy automotive makers.

One of those technology ideas however was/is that the consumer can be the test driver and as a result you can bring vehicles to market just like mobile phones with faults and work it out later if the consumer picks up the problem.

The problem with this is a faulty phone probably will not kill the consumer but a faulty vehicle is lethal.

Legacy vehicle manufacturers however have decades of culture built up around the concept of vehicle safety and crash testing and not knowingly bringing vehicles to market before development has been completed and expecting consumers to act as test drivers.

As a grumpy old man I personally see Elon Musk as a petulant little boy spoilt by his over indulgent mother who does what he wants and if others get hurt because he does not want to play by the same rules as everyone else well that’s what has to happen.

Elon Musk is the ultimate creative writing project. I am sure the other grumpy old men here will remember when schools decided that teaching spelling and grammar suppressed/repressed creativity and children should just be encouraged to write without these barriers to there creativity. That did not end well as we know.

Mercedes Benz, Ford, GMH, Toyota and VW are not creative writing experiments and as such now that they are completing and releasing EV’s that work as consumers expect they will dominate.

Grumpy old men like me and there are a lot of us have no desire to be Tesla’s crash test dummies and expect that premium car makers will supply vehicles that are finished ready to go and in legalese that are “fit for purpose”.

Elon Musk and Grimes raised plenty of eyebrows when they named their first child together X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’). They more recently went on to name their daughter Exa Dark Sideræl (known as ‘Y’). Grimes told Vanity Fair that the name Exa refers to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS, or the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations a second

FF, love the way you're thinking here.

This is my opinion only so could be way off the mark but I think the old saying that the younger generations generally wants things here and now could very well fit into the points you've raised.

For any advanced technology to come to fruition takes time and as you're saying accuracy and therefore safety plays a major part. These days I feel with all this exciting technology happening, people's excitement also grows but their levels of patience declines because they want all this exciting stuff now.

With Tesla trying to do things a few years ahead of what the companies such as Mercedes will be doing in say 2024/25, falls in line with how the general public are wanting the here and now. Maybe Elon Musk is intentionally taking advantage of the way people think here, and as you were saying that safety and accuracy therefore takes a back seat knowing fully well he can get away with it.

However, his time will come ie.2024/25 when Akida has entered the arena!

 

[Fact Finder]

I completely agree @Fullmoonfever—AI, the edge, and even neuromorphic computing proliferate all those trends.

And I learnt a new concept “QuantumAI“. That sounds real interesting. Yay I have a new concept to understand and in which to look for companies doing bleeding edge research. I expect Archer Materials may be one such company; the CEO Mohammad Choucair is a very clever fella, and runs a highly progressive company. Not to mention they already have a quantum chip!

It’s a pity that a trading scam using the name already exists.

I do like QuAIL though—Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab—and the idea of using quantum computing to assist machine learning. I expect that might be the extent of it.

Will there ever be a CNN or even a SNN of quantum processors. In a way, that is sort-of how quantum computing works—every conceivable answer to a problem is computed in parallel and then a voting or weighting system declares the most appropriate answer. You are not guaranteed to get the same answer each time, but the answer you do get will still be correct!

And we all thought WANCAs were having a hard time understanding Akida.

I am going to do a Tech and throw out a clue ‘Spiking Neural Networks and Quantum Annealing’ with NASA.

This could be a ‘black hole’ or the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.

Yes and if you apply this theory to the development of AKIDA you will find that what we have with Brainchip runs contrary to the current technology development paradigm.

Peter van der Made, Anil Mankar and Robert Mitro understood that this AKIDA technology was a paradigm shift.

Together with Mr. Dinardo they discovered that to bring the market to them they had to prove beyond doubt it was real and it worked. To do this they had to actually manufacture it in a chip and the chip had to work perfectly first time every time. The industry standard of accepting imperfections was not an option. THEY WERE CREATING A NEW INDUSTRY that was going to completely upend the big data centric technology world.

This of course flies in the face of how the tech industry lives and breaths and so taking the time they did to get it completely right the first time was so unfamiliar to the rest of the tech world it transpired that the very care they were taking became a matter for suspicion and criticism.

The funny thing is that the old technophobes like myself appreciated and understood this approach and the young tech savvy were disillusioned.

To think that my old fashioned out of date views are going to triumph in the technology space and probably make me very wealthy is really quite bizarre.

Now before the young visionaries who have been part of this journey become upset with me I know you are here but I am generalising based on years of reading these threads and watching all the shareholders on their walking sticks and frames with there carers shuffling into the AGM’s.

At work, our approach has always been “give the client a reason to buy from us” “make it simple and solve their problem”

We all know the benefits of Akida, and have detailed comparatively our position against conventional AI and what else may be in the works from our competitors. With this in mind you have to ask the question - if you were a company, emerging or established and were looking to develop new or push forward existing AI in your products why would you even consider anything else….

Feels to me like we are sitting on the catapult, just waiting for the launch string to be pulled.
