Yes, totally agree. But personally I can wait until the next AGM, which is not too far off. I don’t need a Xmas message from Santa, I know I have been a good boy.

Afternoon fellow chippers,

Humans are a funny animal.

There was discussion a while ago here about the war in Ukraine, with several civilised nations supplying weapons .

These weapons, and all that goes with them will , unfortunately, have to be replenished by those who donated to the Ukraine effort.

Below article from AFR , and the American funding effort in their own backyard and further afield.

Plenty of scope to incorporate Akida in a plethora of new weaponry.

Regards,
Esq.

Guess whose chip stays cool under stress???

"Stresses In Chips Affecting Reliability At Advanced Nodes​

sharethis sharing button

Thermal mismatch in heterogeneous designs, different use cases, can impact everything from accelerated aging to warpage and system failures.
DECEMBER 8TH, 2022 - BY: ANN STEFFORA MUTSCHLER
popularity

Thermal-induced stress is now one of the leading causes of transistor failures, and it is becoming a top focus for chipmakers as more and different kinds of chips and materials are packaged together for safety- and mission-critical applications."



Lots of interest in this article but AKIDA does not get a mention for all the right reasons. ;)

Moving to smaller chips at 2nm, 4nm, 5nm, 7nm to up performance just compounds the problem.

My opinion only DYOR

How do you not know this?

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh, let's go
Now, he sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Very good evidence of coercive control so taking a line out of this Christmas song Santa Claus ‘better watch out’ if he is coming to town because Mrs. Clause has called the police and they have a warrant for his arrest.

Police have asked for anyone with
video evidence of Santa Clause grooming children in major shopping centres or soliciting written communications in the form of letters to Santa with their personal details and address to contact Crime Stoppers. 😂🤣😂🤡😂🤣

First Aus drive of the GLC

Comment on Hey Merc function.

Could take either way.

Old tech but being enhanced as it goes or new tech with a few bugs to iron out still.



2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC300: International first drive


Rob Margeit
08:0106 September 2022

Mercedes-Benz Australia has rolled the dice with the all-new GLC medium SUV, with just a single well-specified variant available next year. And we've driven it.

It should come as little surprise that the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the German brand’s luxury take on the medium SUV segment, has become its biggest seller around the world.

Merc’s ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice commands work fine for the most part – such as route guidance, making phone calls, changing the radio station or music selection, for example – but she can still be caught napping. But, Merc says the function has been improved and keeps evolving.

‘Hey Mercedes’ can also act as a ‘Tourguide’, offering an informative talk track when requested that highlights information about ‘points of interest’ along the route. We didn’t get to sample this feature as it’s currently only available in German (boo!). Merc has plans, though, to roll it out in other regions.

Chippers,

NASA, the Artemis 1 moon rocket, or more specifically the pod thingi which orbited the moon recently will be touching down back on earth roughly 11th Dec 2022 , American time.

Sooooo....

A month or two later, when the boffins have crunched all the data, we may find out if Brainchip was amoungst any of the experiments / technology utilised..... or not.

Either way all very exciting.

Esq.

Well I guess you will like an all time classic that we used to sing at school:

  1. Jesus loves me! This I know,
    For the Bible tells me so;
    Little ones to Him belong;
    They are weak, but He is strong.
    • Refrain:
      Yes, Jesus loves me!
      Yes, Jesus loves me!
      Yes, Jesus loves me!
      The Bible tells me so.
  2. Jesus loves me! This I know,
    As He loved so long ago,
    Taking children on His knee,
    Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
  3. Jesus loves me still today,
    Walking with me on my way,
    Wanting as a friend to give
    Light and love to all who live.
  4. Jesus loves me! He who died
    Heaven’s gate to open wide;
    He will wash away my sin,
    Let His little child come in.
  5. Jesus loves me! He will stay
    Close beside me all the way;
    Thou hast bled and died for me,
    I will henceforth live for Thee.

I personally believe that the CES conference in January will deliver news, very pleasing news, why, oh why, please kind sir?

Mercedes made an announcement 12 months ago basically, have they been sitting on their hands ever since, of course not, nor has
any other Brainchip EAP, let's all be honest here, we are expecting some solid announcements starting in January, surely?

Whether that equals instant revenue, I, like many here think not, but the next 12 months on 12 months, that is, 8 quarters of potential
growth, well that's my time frame, and it's been up until now, extremely fair and reasonable, so let the "real growth begin"

Let's not talk about takeovers, I'm 100% confident it just won't happen in the short to medium term anyway. $10.00 US a share
would be tempting at this point, but the one/s who ultimately have the last say wouldn't even consider it at this point, we are too
young into our journey, the passion is still alive.

God bless that fact.

Tech x 🤘

Edit: Please remember that this is my own opinion, based on logic, and when I refer to news, I'm talking about news delivered by
our client in the first instance, if that makes sense, but I will add that I was reassured that Sean would deliver on his statement/s
regarding AKD 2.0 IP completion, but also understand that, that news could well be fluid in arriving, thanks.

As for more general wishes (as I have no religious belief whatsoever which includes Santa as an omnipotent, slightly dodgy overlord). I'm putting this one out to the universe and beyond (whatever that entails philosophically or otherwise). For those who know me this is my regular rant, so full of assumptions and poorly thought out conclusions.

Can the SP please go up just enough so I don't have to rent (EVER) and can move into a house on the nearest inhabitable planet with no dogs, cats, bogans, those who were brought up without any capacity for empathy or have lost it because they are in denial of how they affect the lives of others, insanely grumpy/aggressive old people, retail customers, shorters, high frequency traders, powerful greedy and selfish leaders of countries and poisonous criminal organisations, anyone who indoctrinates anyone into anything before they are capable of making their own choices, scammers, sink or swim advocates who hold their beliefs only as long as they are doing well or with their very privileged starts in life and the very poorly socialised (the category I fit into most snugly). Oh and noisy air-conditioners.

I feel like I'm losing my capacity for empathy as the above likely suggests so may have to move away from myself :unsure:

Hey could I use it as my pitch for Master Universe pageant?

PREVIEW


TSMC’s $40 Billion Bet on U.S.-Made Chips: Just a Start.


This past Tuesday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing announced that it would expand its investments in Arizona to more than $40 billion—from its initial $12 billion commitment. TSMC’s first Arizona fab will begin making 4-nanometer chips in 2024, and a second will produce 3-nanometer chips by 2026. Smaller chips normally are faster and more power-efficient than larger ones.


Forty billion is a big number, but it’s not a panacea. TSMC didn’t lay out a time frame to spend the money. And it will be a fraction of TSMC’s overall capital spending, which J.P. Morgan estimates at $100 billion from 2022 to 2024. The fabs will add to U.S. capacity, but with limitations. Taiwan has become a geopolitical flashpoint with China and the U.S. because it accounts for more than 90% of the world’s most advanced chip manufacturing, notes a 2021 report from the Semiconductor Industry Association and Boston Consulting Group. Most of that comes from TSMC.


By the time the Arizona plants go on line, they’ll be one or two generations behind Taiwan’s most advanced fabs. J.P. Morgan expects TSMC’s Taiwan plants to start making 3-nanometer chips in 2023’s first quarter; by 2026, they are likely to have moved on to something better. By then, chips for the latest Apple iPhone won’t be U.S.-made because they’ll require the most advanced technology. The Arizona fabs will likely support older iPhones or iPads.


Last month, Tufts’ Chris Miller, author of Chip War, told Barron’s that U.S. policy makers were still underestimating the risks around Taiwan, should the geopolitics deteriorate. While $40 billion may relieve political pressures, advanced chip-making will remain concentrated in Taiwan.

3 questions you should ask to get the most out of edge data

For years, enterprises have touted the benefits of a data-first approach — where every major business decision is informed by data insights. With cloud adoption and greater accessibility of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), more data teams have started to live out this ideal. But there’s a curveball being thrown at data leaders, and it’s coming from the edge.

An essential building block of a data-first strategy is access: You need easy access to critical data streams to analyze them and put them to use. But when it’s predicted that 75% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside of the cloud or centralized data centers, data leaders are in a predicament. Their fastest growing data source is far, far away from centralized analytics environments, rendering it effectively useless.

This challenge is growing: The combination of 5G connectivity and the rapid adoption of IoT devices in industries like manufacturing, automotive, logistics and energy is supercharging the edge technology market, which is expected to hit around $116.5 billion by 2030.

So how will data-first strategies evolve when your largest data source becomes your most distributed?

We’re in the early stages of seeing this play out, and I expect that a significant amount of innovation in the coming years will help alleviate this challenge. But for now, there are three essential questions data leaders can consider as they look to apply a data-first mindset to the edge.

After real-time processing, what’s next?

Vendors like EdgeConneX and ClearBlade, as well as AWS and Azure Stack Edge, have made it easy for enterprises to derive value from edge data in real time. In manufacturing, edge processing enables predictive maintenance for equipment; in healthcare it allows patients to monitor health from home; and in the automotive industry it makes self-driving cars a reality. Computing outside the centralized data center has been, and will continue to be, game-changing for so many industries.

But data leaders hard-wired with a data-first mindset are naturally starting to wonder: Does the value of edge data stop at the edge?

After real-time processing, data often ends up sitting in edge data stores, collecting dust (and storage costs). This growing pool of critical user data is being left out of the AI applications running in platforms like Snowflake or Databricks — the driving forces behind next-generation customer experiences and strategic business decisions. As this data piles up, more and more data leaders are starting to explore where the long-term value of this data source lies.

Which brings us to question No. two.

Are edge data centers always the most cost-efficient?

To date, edge data centers have proven to be a cost-efficient home for IoT data. But as IoT devices proliferate, the edge data cost analysis is starting to skew. When a single enterprise generates as much as 60 petabytes of edge data every two weeks, storage costs add up. For some, this volume of edge data is translating to multiple millions of dollars a year, which will only go up over time.

Sure, if you’re not paying to store data at the edge, you’ll be paying to store it in the cloud. But the difference is ROI. While data at the edge adds value in the moment, it does nothing over time. If it were in the cloud, on the other hand, it could start informing new product lines or spark strategic partnerships.

So before edge storage fees get unruly, many enterprise data teams are assessing what do do with their edge data: continue to store it at the edge to be analyzed locally; delete it to save money and/or mitigate privacy concerns; or move it to a centralized data center or cloud environment.

Can my data architecture withstand exponential growth?

If you decide that hanging onto your edge data makes sense, you’ll have to think strategically about what that means for your data architecture. In a world where edge data is king, modern data architectures will need to thrive with data that grows exponentially.

This could mean you need to scale up or scale out edge data storage. It could also mean building a data pipeline that accommodates continuous data movement.

Data migrations have traditionally been viewed as one-and-done processes. But the edge is forcing everyone to rethink this assumption. Migration now has to happen continuously, and originate from highly distributed environments. You’re no longer just pulling data, once, from an on-premises data center and dropping it in AWS, Azure or GCP.

To accommodate this shift, some companies are streaming small amounts of data to the cloud, slowly but surely centralizing subsets of business-critical edge data. Alternatively, extremely data-heavy enterprises are looking to automate edge migrations at scale. Whatever route you take, factoring in the reality that your data is growing exponentially is essential to maximizing its value over time.

Evolving the data-first mindset

As edge data becomes your fastest-growing data source, your data-first strategies have to evolve. There is no one right answer for how enterprises should make use of their edge data, but assessing its long-term potential and building the right processes to accommodate (and benefit from) its scale are helpful places to start.

Once these essential questions are answered at the edge, data-first strategies could yield even bigger and more transformative results.
