Intel put up a 9 second quiz? The 3-minute answer is interesting.



A clue!

Answer:


Take a sneak peek “Behind This Door” to a critical level of #Intel Oregon’s D1X #semiconductor factory, the sub fab. It’s the underbelly full of tens of thousands of pumps, transformers, power cabinets, scrubbers, treatment systems and more — all to support the 1,200 chipmaking tools in the clean rooms directly above.

Good find Rocket. This is an excellent overview, starting historically and progressing to now and beyond.

Some might want to move forward in the video, straight to the Event Based focus.

Vision is one of the hottest themes that is going to rocket out of the Spiking Neural Network gates!

FRAME-BASED: A conventional camera takes an arbitrary number of pictures per second, usually around 30 fps, in which all pixels record in synchrony regardless of what is going on in the scene.

EVENT-BASED: In Prophesee Metavision patented sensor (discover our Evaluation Kits), there is a new kind of pixel. Each of them is powered by its own independent intelligent processing. This allows them to only records when they sense a change or movement. The information created does not arrive frame by frame. Rather, movement is captured as a continuous stream of information.

Prophesee sees between the frames, where all traditional frame-based systems are blind.

Qualcomm Shares a Sneak Peek of Its Snapdragon Digital Chassis Concept Car

When a Qualcomm employee turned on the car, a voice welcomed him by name — straight-up "Knight Rider" vibes.

When Yeh turned on the car, a voice welcomed him by name — straight-up "Knight Rider" vibes.

“As you can see, the vehicle just recognized me, said my name through a facial-recognition app, put on my favorite color scheme — in this case, blue — it’s got my seat position, and it’s playing my music,” Yeh said, pointing to each of these features inside the car.

Cars are becoming much more safe because they're more aware of their surroundings

Nakul Duggal, senior VP and GM of automotive, Qualcomm Technologies

Duggal added that the industry as a whole is headed more toward driver-assistance technology and not so much toward self-driving vehicles.



“A feature that automakers are starting to introduce is monitoring of the driver: Is the driver distracted? Is the driver drowsy? Is he impaired in any way? Can the driver take over and bring the vehicle to a halt carefully?”



Duggal said that the concept car showcases how an automaker could have a more personal relationship with the driver and allow certain transportation and delivery companies to have better management of their vehicles. He added that Qualcomm is proud to represent San Diego as the company enters the auto industry via an existing international network of partners and customers. Not as automakers, to be clear, but as drivers of technology merging more and more into future vehicles.

“What we are doing here is affecting the global automotive ecosystem," Duggal said. "We are now participating, really, across the world."

Never watched any of it, so glad it’s of interest.

Just pondering a thesis: The ChatGBT sensation is changing IT Budgets.

More money, research, and focus on AI Use Cases of all kinds.

Seems likely the Edge IoT focused companies get pulled along faster with the tidal wave.

Meaning, indirectly Brainchip/Prophesee/Edge Impulse/etc are all helped by this AI Sensation Momentum.

Surely these likes from Rob are alluding to something big waiting in the wings.

 

[Meetupsoon]

Good morning,

I do self invest with QSuper and have just been notified that Self Invest is closing to new investors as of the 1 July 2023.

Just thinking that this might have something to do the superannuation changes to tax concessions, and tax to be paid on unrealised capital gains that Treasurer Jim Chalmers wants to bring in. Maybe the funds are thinking along the lines that the changes will be to hard to manage with regards to implementing tax paid on unrealised capital gains.

I would be interested to know if anyone else has received any such notification from the super funds with the ceasing of accepting any new members to direct invest within their funds.

Regards
Meetupsoon.

Steering the Models!

SparesGBT was @Rise from the ashes ; this morning. Now a new thing: "Steering the Models"!!!

Makes so much sense. Starts at what I posted here: 20:29 into the podcast. Fantastic podcast.

Steering the Models must be new!

Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman talks with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about their mutual learnings from the AI tools released to date, primarily GPT-4 4, OpenAI's language model that co-wrote Hoffman's recent book “Impromptu." Keeping up with all the AI advancements – and questioning both the pros and cons of their immediate impact – is why Hoffman wrote Impromptu. As he describes, the book is intended to act as a travelog of his experience with GPT-4. Above all, he sees AI as a human amplifier, but urges it must be developed safely. Safety is exactly what OpenAI is striving for, Altman says, and Hoffman’s detailed chronicle of his experience with GPT-4 is exactly the kind of data the organization needs to continue developing the technology with safety in mind.

Can Brainchip SNN Akida help?

Is the driver distracted?
Is the driver drowsy?
Is he impaired in any way?
Can the driver take over and bring the vehicle to a halt carefully?

Buying the AISteering.com website url might be smart! Makes sense, pick your AI Lane on the Highway.

An AI Steering Wheel Dial, you want conservative, 100%, that is an option. Then other options like go deep with ideas from the AI smarts.

Just spreading the AI love. Go Brainchip.

Ok I feel like @Bravo 's wingman with this post. Akin to Iceman and Maverick or Thelma and Louise. It just depends on if you are a glass half full or empty kind of person.

Now I have attached a US Patent for TDK. (sourced today from USPTO). Column 6 Lines 15 to 62 where it talks about 'mimicking the human brain' looks pretty interesting. Is it a SNN? I have no idea. Ok I might have a little. But I am still learning and will need to refer this to our resident expert (@Diogenese ) .
