Not sure if This was posted already.. but anyway interesting. It was posted from a user in the German forum

Hardware Pioneers MAX24 – May 28-29, 2024 (London)

We are excited by the demand for intelligent sensor technology and showcasing the next generation AI hardware enabled solutions from BrainChip.

Thanks for posting this. Every major sensor player should be highly interested in this. Akida being sensor agnostic coupled with generation 2.0 will open many more doors.

After all, that’s what we do. Make sensors smart.

Has anyone heard ADLink Taiwanese company?
Edge computing—doesn’t say SNN, but also partnered with Intel , Nvidia, Arm, Qualcomm .

Looks to me like the different charges went bang and we've lost both?
Hopefully I'm wrong.
Frangi, I would also miss your detective work for us very much.

Don’t worry, my detective agency has not closed down. So stay tuned!

But I do have a life outside TSE, and yesterday, I preferred to enjoy real-life fresh spring air over breathing in all those toxic fumes blowing in my direction in the virtual world of anonymous posters.

Simon Thorpe has advocated a universal income for many years to offset the disruption to the workplace from AI.

Now Sam Altman has jumped on the bandwagon and will no doubt make a bigger splash:

This will be a hard sell in ideologically entrenched America. Still they hounded Chaplain out so this bloke shouldn't prove too difficult.

Ole mate Dodgey, your posts are nothing but astounding.

Saw a couple of our employees "liking" mamba and wondered what it was.

Couple snips below and curious whether it was a general "like", great development thing or whether it is something they are now working on too.

Is possible the PeaBrane/Mamba-Tiny on Git and liked is something that Rudy created by the looks from the full Mamba but maybe I'm reading it wrong?

Interesting none the less I think given the Ai in 24 links Mamba, Transformers & Neuromorphic all together.

Discover the transformative potential of AI in 2024. Dive into key drivers like data quality and the groundbreaking Mamba architecture.

meta-quantum.today

Mamba: This refers to the emergence of new, ground breaking AI architectures like transformers and neuromorphic computing. These architectures mimic the human brain’s structure and function, allowing for significantly faster processing and deeper learning capabilities. Mamba-based models will revolutionize areas like natural language processing, image recognition, and robotics.

• Mamba Architecture: Revolutionizing Sequence Modelling
  1. Mamba, a ground breaking architecture, represents a leap forward from the Transformer models.
  2. It addresses the computational challenges of large-scale sequence processing.
  3. Albert Goo’s work on structured state spaces inspired Mamba’s development.
  4. The architecture’s potential lies in its ability to handle extensive sequences, as demonstrated in DNA classification tasks.

Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modelling with Selective State Spaces​

Albert Gu, Tri Dao

Foundation models, now powering most of the exciting applications in deep learning, are almost universally based on the Transformer architecture and its core attention module. Many subquadratic-time architectures such as linear attention, gated convolution and recurrent models, and structured state space models (SSMs) have been developed to address Transformers' computational inefficiency on long sequences, but they have not performed as well as attention on important modalities such as language. We identify that a key weakness of such models is their inability to perform content-based reasoning, and make several improvements. First, simply letting the SSM parameters be functions of the input addresses their weakness with discrete modalities, allowing the model to selectively propagate or forget information along the sequence length dimension depending on the current token. Second, even though this change prevents the use of efficient convolutions, we design a hardware-aware parallel algorithm in recurrent mode. We integrate these selective SSMs into a simplified end-to-end neural network architecture without attention or even MLP blocks (Mamba). Mamba enjoys fast inference (5× higher throughput than Transformers) and linear scaling in sequence length, and its performance improves on real data up to million-length sequences. As a general sequence model backbone, Mamba achieves state-of-the-art performance across several modalities such as language, audio, and genomics. On language modeling, our Mamba-3B model outperforms Transformers of the same size and matches Transformers twice its size, both in pretraining and downstream evaluation.

Mamba is a new state-space model out-performing transformers on "everywhere tried". Originally, it was trained with associative scan, which pytorch does not support natively, hence the need for custom CUDA kernels. However, there is a simple math trick to express the associative scans used in mamba as a ratio of two cumulative sums. This makes for an efficient native pytorch implementation of mamba possible. How? Check out my simple repo with an one-file implementation of this idea forking from the mamba-minimal repo https://lnkd.in/g5QR7yHC #mamba #llm

GitHub - PeaBrane/mamba-tiny: Simple, minimal implementation of the Mamba SSM in one file of PyTorch. More efficient than the minimalist version but less efficient than the original mamba implementation.​

Smart people in Singapur right?

There's no way to stop, the ever swelling ranks of the "Useless Class".
A populous, that is not only unemployed, but unemployable.

Already the number of people in Australia, on support is high.
"In total, an estimated 38.7% of the population aged 15–64 was receiving government income support in mid-2020"

Another close to 10% are direct government employees.
"There were 2,430,400 public sector employees in the month of June 2023 comprising: 350,300 employees in Commonwealth government (including defence force personnel); 1,871,900 in state government; and. 208,200 in local government".

Not to mention pensions..
"As at 31 March 2023, around 2.8 million people aged 65 and over received income support payments, equating to 63% of the population aged 65 and over. Of these, the vast majority (92% or 2.6 million) received Age Pension".

Most developed countries, would be similar, is it any wonder why government debt is spiraling out of control, practically everywhere?


No amount of education, will be able to compete with the type of A.I. they are talking about.

Only highly specialised jobs, trades and services (which include everything from hairdressing, to cleaning etc) will remain.

The vast majority of the business cohort, office jobs etc. Will be ripe for obsolescence, within the next 5 to 10 years (at the current rate of advancement IMO).

There's often the argument, that people will just learn new skills etc..

That is BS, in my humble opinion.

Everyone, who invests in the changes that are happening, will come out much better than most, when all is said and done.

You're either on the ship to progress, or you're in the water clinging to a government life preserver, with just enough money for food and online entertainment (opiate of the masses).
Which many will and are, already satisfied with.

That's the Future, the youth of today, have to look forward to.

For some, it will be their Dream Lifestyle.

Whilst only a small mention, great to see confirmation we're still in the mix with some heavy hitters over at NASA & Ames Research Centre.

Gotta say something about the tech

The original neuromorphic flight "test" was with Loihi and the TechEd Sat from what I read but states moving to next phases with more neuromorphic.

Part of the conclusion...

Building on earlier successes with GPUs, and more recently, a neuromorphic processor flight test, the notion of a collaborative BrainStack orbital AI/ML
laboratory module is presented. The intention is to be able to perform experiments on multiple hardware and
software AI/ML elements on the same flight with different collaborative teams.

The TES-n Common AI/ML Software Interface will permit a menu driven set
of experiments across individual elements. The next set of TES BrainStack experiments will host combinations
of GPUs and neuromorphic processors, with flexibility to support upcoming novel systems and their unique interfaces. Such a collaborative BrainStack system will greatly expand the use of these remarkable new tools and methods in the space sector.


Full paper:

HERE

Whilst I originally posted the NASA Brainstack paper back in Aug, I just found the presso from the same time while doing some random googling.

What I found interesting revisiting the table, which I hadn't thought of before, is which ones have been tested and appears to have a loose order via the Sat programs / launches.

If they stay true to that format then could we expect we could be considered next in line

Presso HERE

Probs posted but don't recall seeing it or I missed it, but a quick chat with RT at CES.

Not much given away and interviewer was a little meh for mine.

Did like the little run through bit by RT of what Merc are doing with in cabin...plug for a friend or something more

RT tried hard to get some stuff out there, but guess time becomes a consideration so seemed a little rushed.

Maybe tell your friend to follow their own advice. Frankly, if they can't be more generous and less of a narcissist, if they can't be slightly distracted by the improving SP, then move on. Why do they want to target individual contributors anyway?

Goodmorning everyone.... Have a great week! It's going to be a cracker.... ( just hoping of course, no insider info).

A "supercut " of Intels presentation with "ARM" partnership worth a watch imo.

Now what little start-up is partnered with both ? ............ ..........................................................
