What seems to be the way these days is that we constantly like to take single ideas and create groups based on the single idea which if not shared excludes you from the group.Hi TechGirl /Nessie,
I am no Greenie Eco Tree Hugger , but i still stand by my point that was made regarding the Power Consumption / Green Aspect at the IIF.

Marketing is all about creating these groups under the term Brand Loyalty. Politics has taken this to the point of a fine art. Bringing together large groups of people based upon a common purpose rather than an idea is against political vested interests. Splinter politics and factionalism rules.
Hence someone like myself is excluded from a green conversation because of having a divergent range of ideas across the spectrum of politics.
When I was very young every second weekend we would go to visit my fathers brother and his family for lunch. This trip in our non airconditioned cars back then took us over the Cooks River near the well known Sydney suburb of Newtown. In winter it was not too bad because you could drive along happily with the windows up.
In the heat of summer however depending on which direction the wind was blowing you would need to wind up the windows of the car about a kilometre from the bridge over the river because the stench of the pollution that had poured unchecked into the Cooks River from industrial premises was over powering.
When you drove over the river you could look down and it was a black ooze which because of the tidal nature of the river clung to the embankments on either side. Fortunately this has been improved but you have to ask who thought it was a reasonable use of a river in the first place to fill it with chemicals of every description. Then again who thought piping raw untreated sewerage into the Ocean around Sydney was a great idea.
In my mind there is nothing that can justify pollution but to have a voice about this I am required to be green or nothing. So be it, this is how it is and will not change in my lifetime.
When it comes to power consumption like you the idea that AKIDA technology can reduce the drain on increasingly scarce power resources across the board minimising the need for base load power stations and in so doing drive down power bills for the less well off in society and reduce pollution at the same time is in itself sufficient reason to be invested in this technology.
Yet where is Government of any description around the world recognising what Spiking Neural Network technology at the Edge can do for their people? Best I can tell and being kind they are waiting for market forces to intervene while at the same time embracing its use in Defence and Space.
I have said it a few times, I place my faith in human scientific achievement, to provide solutions to the problems we all face. I expect if humanity manages to survive what it has done, and continues to do, history will reserve a number of chapters to record the important contributions by the great minds of the likes of Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar.
