BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fox151]

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.

A ballista even?

It was all going well into the weekend until Powell opened his mouth and warned that the US is heading towards financial armageddon.

His comments were predictable given the Fed is trying to suppress inflation and dampen demand and the White House and Congress are pumping billions into the economy to inflate a technology sector that is swimming in gold and eating caviar from platinum spoons. The big players who control the markets knew this and were waiting at the mouth of the estuary to pounce on those who are addicted to panic. The shares on the BRN bus go up and down, up and down, all through the town.

I'm not concerned one bit but I am surprised at the US market reaction to Powell's comments because US inflation was a known fact for a few months.

In the medium to long term it will play out in BRN's favour. As the economies around the world including USA emerge from recessions, I believe governments, large corps and new companies will embrace future proofed tech, aka AKIDA rather than reinvest in legacy technology.

We haven't seen Tensor 2, but Tensor 3 is already reportedly in development

A new rumor suggests that Google and Samsung are collaborating on the development of a new chipset that may be the Tensor 3.

Any hints about potential for Akida being in future Tensor chips?

Fingers crossed

Chipmaking’s Next Big Thing Guzzles as Much Power as Entire Countries

Smaller and more energy-efficient semiconductors increasingly require so much electricity that Asia is going to have a tough time quitting fossil fuels.

Chipmaking’s Next Big Thing Guzzles as Much Power as Entire Countries​

The machines needed to make the world’s most advanced semiconductors are miracles of modern engineering. Known as extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, or EUVs, they bathe silicon wafers with waves of light invisible to the human eye, burning patterns into materials on the wafer’s surface that need to be exact within a few nanometers. To create the specialized light, EUVs vaporize molten tin with lasers, then use mirrors to focus the radiance into thinner wavelengths. Only one company in the world— ASML Holding NV of the Netherlands—makes the bus-size devices, which cost more than $150 million and consist of 100,000 separate components.

EUVs are also a prime illustration of how the push to make semiconductors that are smaller, more capable, and more energy-efficient is leading to manufacturing processes that are more complicated and energy-intensive. Each machine is rated to consume about 1 megawatt of electricity, about 10 times more than previous generations of equipment. With no alternative available to make the most advanced kinds of semiconductors, the chip industry is a potentially significant stumbling block to the drive to reduce global carbon emissions.

No one has purchased more EUVs than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s largest supplier of outsourced chips. It currently has more than 80 and is in the midst of installing a new generation of the machines as part of a $20 billion chip foundry in Tainan, a city in southern Taiwan. Because of the vast amount of power needed to run EUVs, TSMC is expected to soon consume more energy than the entire 21 million-person population of Sri Lanka. In 2020 the company accounted for about 6% of Taiwan’s overall energy consumption. It’s expected to use 12.5% of it by 2025.



Around the globe, governments that profess a desire to lower carbon emissions are also eager to build domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity to defend against supply chain shocks and geopolitical disruptions. The US recently passed a $52 billion plan to bring chip production capacities onshore, and the European Chips Act encompasses $49 billion in investments to revive the industry within the European Union. Environmental impact doesn’t seem to have been an important consideration in either jurisdiction. “Although there are conditions to be met for companies to obtain funds, none of these acts have yet to specify climate-related targets,” says David Kang, head of Japan and South Korea research at BloombergNEF.

ASML is experiencing unprecedented demand. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Masahiro Wakasugi predicts the company could see more than a 30% increase in annual sales in 2023, to about $26 billion, despite pressure from the US to stop providing to China even the equipment to make less advanced chips. Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen said in April that ASML is investigating the possibility of increasing shipments to 90 of its EUVs in 2025, from an original target of 70 units.

Cutting out incredibly stupid things, like Cryptocurrency mining, would more than make up for things like that, as concerning as they are.
Probably by 1000 fold..

Bitcoin (alone) the world's largest cryptocurrency, currently consumes an estimated 150 terawatt-hours of electricity annually — more than the entire country of Argentina, population 45 million. 4 May 2022.

Future generations, will scorn Mankind's folly and wastage of the Earth's valuable and finite resources, on something you can't even fffing see or touch!!

As far as I'm concerned, Cryptocurrency mining is a crime against the Planet and is the ultimate expression of selfishness.

Seeing as we are on the topic of energy and how Brainchip can support the Data centers as discussed in the Dell podcast.

Mind you the energy consumed in the data centers is very hush hush to the public...

• Data centres consume up to 10 per cent of all global energy production. In Australia its 4%.
• There are several options to save energy in data centres: virtualisation, ARM based processors, good practical management of facilities and implementing power usage effectiveness (PUE) targets
• A well-orchestrated energy strategy is key to success
• Cooling systems in data centres are large power guzzlers. Free cooling opportunities exist in many locations – Data centre managers need to decide whether they are going to use direct or indirect free cooling
• Data centre managers need to decide whether they are going to use direct or indirect free cooling
• Key processing tasks can be scheduled to take place after peak hours to save energy
• Future trends in data centre design and development include integrating cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions, including the use of renewables such as solar and wind for energy and seawater for cooling

Just in comparison

1. Bitcoin mining consumes roughly 0.5% of all energy consumption worldwide (2022).

Question to ponder is how much power can Akida save on edge devices each year?

According to an article published by Ars Technica, if you use Siri two or three times per day at an average of 63KB per instance, you might expect to use 126KB to 189KB per day, or 3.7 to 5.5MB per month. If you use the personal assistant between four and six times a day, that might work out to 252KB to 378KB per day, or 7.4 to 11MB per month. If you use it 10-15 times per day, you might end up using 630KB to 945KB per day, or 18.5 to 27.7MB per month.

Once this data is transferred by millions of users a day to the Apple cloud environment, it has been estimated by Jason Mars, an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, that Siri requires about 168 times more processing capacity, space, and electrical power than a text-based search engine such as Google Search.

Listen from about 2:10
Jim Keller apparently is working on the most powerful processor ever that mimics the human brain and stat it will be much more revolutionary then the Internet. Words from Jordan P. I tend to listen to this bloke when he speaks.

Now what is this chip and how does it stack up to Akida? No matter what, it is more validation by industry veterans that we are on the right track!

Sounds like he's only just getting started..

Congratulations I was pretty sure unless someone had AKIDA that they would never work out my last name from the ‘clues’ but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine someone could be so wide of the mark.

[Space Cadet]

I have a solution.

There are a 1,000 billion in a trillion.

The combined value of superannuation in Australia is about 3.5 trillion dollars.

At any one time about 30% of that 3.5 trillion dollars is invested offshore which is approximately one trillion dollars.

So we create a Government Bond with a face value equivalent to the debt and require every institutional and government superannuation fund to buy a portion of the bond based on their funds value.

The bond will pay a minimum return of 5 percent which will be tax free in the funds so that it will be the equivalent of about 6 percent gross.

Fund managers will not be permitted to charge any fees to members against the earnings of the fund adding another couple of percent to the value of the returns bringing it to about 8% gross.

The Bond will be for at least 50 years during which time inflation will work its magic and the payments made by the Government to service the bond will remain in the hands of and enrich the Australian people.

The total value of the Australian Government debt at 30.6.22 was about $963 billion dollars.

Over the last 29 years the gross average return of superannuation growth funds has been about 8.2%.

It is a plan called nation building. Vote 1 Fact Finder for dictator.
