Riveting

Since you felt the need to reply to my post with yet another of your sarcastic comments, how about you refute my argument instead by presenting us with some kind of proof Isaiah Gallagher’s author profile isn’t fake?

This should be a piece of cake for you, given he is said to be “an esteemed author and technology analyst, renowned for his comprehensive writing on groundbreaking innovations in the technology industry (…) making him an influential voice in the tech world.”

Alternatively you could try your luck with any of these other fake author profiles randomly copied from https://elblog.pl/:

Good luck! (You’ll need it.)

Wonder if this guy is just a SH, has an interest cause of his role or if they think could be something they could use down the track

There's like a 16 sec promo vid in his link that didn't copy across. Assume it's ours but personally not see it.

BrainChip is bringing brain-like computing to your pocket tl;dr: BrainChip’s new Akida Pico chip uses neuromorphic computing (chips that mimic the way the human brain works) to bring power-efficient AI to tiny devices like wearables and smart appliances. * * * The Big Picture: Imagine an AI that could run on just a trickle of power, barely impacting your device's battery. That’s what BrainChip is working on - neuromorphic computing, which takes inspiration from the human brain's incredibly efficient design. BrainChip's Akida Pico chip is a tiny powerhouse that uses "spiking neural networks" that only consume power when there's actual thinking to be done, unlike traditional AI chips that are always-on energy hogs. What it means for you: This breakthrough opens up a world of possibilities for AI in everyday devices. Think always-on voice assistants that don't drain your phone's battery, super-responsive hearing aids, and smart home gadgets that learn your habits without needing a constant power source. My take on it: While neuromorphic computing is still in its early stages, the potential is immense. AI chips that only consume tiny amounts of energy would be a huge leap forward in bringing this technology to the masses, in particular for edge computing on wearables and connected accessories. #Innovation #AI #NeuromorphicComputing #PowerEfficientAI #EdgeComputing

Hi All...
As Tony stated it "should be " posted this week (podcast) but obviously Sean is in charge and for whatever reason it hasn't surfaced..am I a little frustrated with this inconsistency, yes I am...
BUT the bigger picture is still unchanged...I have received a few private messages with regards Chris Jones' comment about the culture within Brainchips four walls, I'm hoping to clarify that remark, as like some shareholders I'm thinking, exactly what are you referring to Chris ?

Staff move on, Peter and Anil were always in that retirement bracket, age wise..but the number of staff leaving is possibly an issue...with the emphasis on "possibly"..without dot joining at this point...facts are the key.

Just the opinion of an old rusted on believer...Tech x

Well maybe those comments by previous employees on the site which I can’t remember regarding the work culture within the company maybe true with so many leaving. Will try and find the site again(something like glasshouse)

 

[CHIPS]

Podcast out

Stop this! It is not funny, it was not even funny you did this the first time.
If you are bored, read a book!

So you're the one that's been hyping up us about a podcast that's not even coming out. Okay thanks

The article is referring to neuromorphic hardware to run autonomous L4, not in such systems as the mbux infotainment unit akida was used in in the concept car that obviously could hit production far sooner as it’s not a safety issue, even thing like the airbag deployment would have far less rigorous safety standards than autonomous driving

I find it hard to believe the MB engineers would have told those journalists attending the workshop that the neuromorphic hardware they are currently researching in their Future Technologies Lab will be available only in the 2030s without saying a single word about the (hypothetical) fact that neuromorphic tech as such would already be implemented into their future serial cars’ less safety-critical areas much sooner. After all, it’s not a secret MB tried out Akida for keyword spotting in the Vision EQXX, so why would they not boast about being a trailblazer in that field if such implementation in serial cars were near?

We also heard it from the horse’s mouth (or rather from the guy in the horse power business) earlier today - in his LinkedIn post shared by @supersonic001, Mercedes-Benz CTO Markus Schäfer literally said:

“Our work in this field is still very much in the research phase, with much still to do. Nevertheless, we are encouraged and excited by the progress we are making.”

And as for airbags - thankfully, they actually require an ASIL-D grade, which relates to the most stringent level of safety measures:

Very nice reference from Markus about neurophonic. The important thing to note here is Mercedes is much bigger company than brainchip but still it is taking time to get the right solutions.
So with new technology everyone wants to keep on researching until they get right solutions.
It is frustrating for holders but it takes time for new technology to get incorporated.
Markus remarks are very encouraging for great news technology.

Give it up you two, seriously!! Put each other on ignore or have a chat between yourselves. We’re all frustrated, but this back and forth between yourselves is giving me the shits!!

 

[GazDix]

Just wait til they put the LLMs in charge of the cheque book and watch the BRN SP fly.

Not sure if it would be insider trading or nepotism.

Already happening on crypto/blockchain land. AI agents are already running amok. Virtual is the leading protocol if interested. Not invested, but interesting tech.

 

[Bravo]

There is no need to be nasty.

Maybe consider going the ignore button Slade.

I have never, ever had to resort to using an "ignore" button before; either on this forum or the other crappier one, and I've been on these forums for years. But I can tell you, it was a very good move for me where a certain poster was concerned.

"Together with different research partners, my team is breaking new ground in our research into artificial neural networks that mimic the workings of the human brain. The conventional von Neumann architecture based on processing binary signals supported by a separate memory bank is replaced by spiking neurons and synapses that use event-based processing and local memory. The former only sends signals when something actually happens (events), while the latter eliminates the bottleneck between processing and memory."

Mercedes has set up an AI research project with the University of Waterloo, so that would be one of the research partners.

Interesting choice of language:
"The conventional von Neumann architecture based on processing binary signals supported by a separate memory bank is replaced by spiking neurons and synapses that use event-based processing and local memory."

Analog neurons are sometimes described as providing in-memory compute.

Akida has sometimes been descibed as providing near-memory compute.

Local memory is broad enough to encompass both.

We know Mercedes has been playing away with Nvidia and Qualcomm.

Qualcomm is developing hybrid digital/analog NNs:

US2023297335A1 Hybrid Compute-in-Memory 20220315

I haven't looked to see if Nvidia does compute-in-memory.

Although we've heard nothing since EQXX, we have not seen anything stating that the Brainchip/Mercedes SNN cooperation has ended.

We also know that Mercedes is implementing the SDV concept

We also know Brainchip introduced an algorithm product line this year.

Does the Mercedes SDV archtecture jigsaw have a TENNs-shaped hole in it?

Coros Space, a new SpaceTech startup, is lifting off…

And co-founder and CEO Sanath Muret - a familiar face for BRN shareholders on LinkedIn - says he is planning on continuing to collaborate with BrainChip, just like he used to until recently, when he was still with ESA as a Young Graduate Trainee for On-Board Computer & Data Handling Systems.

Sanath Muret co-founded Coros Space with CTO Iván Rodríguez Ferrández (who just finished his PhD with ESA while being a Junior Researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputer Center) and Safouane Benamer (until now CEO of Opus Aerospace).

And here’s another familiar face doing space research - Swetha Varadarajulu from Uni Luxembourg’s SIGCOM group at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), whose members had already used Akida in previous research.

Congratulations to her and her co-authors on winning the Best Student Paper Award in the field of Aerospace Communications at the 41st International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC-2024) in Seattle, USA organised by NASA, ThalesAlenia Space & the University of Bradford for their paper titled “Enhanced Demodulator for 5G NTN using Spatio-Temporal Attention Convolutional Autoencoder & Akida Brainchip SNN”.

Thanks to @Pmel we found out in April that the Luxembourg researchers had even acquired an Akida Shuttle PC earlier this year: https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-419531

Here is what I wrote six months ago in a post about fellow Uni Luxembourg researcher Flor Ortiz:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-426086

At the time I finished my post by saying

“While there is no 100% guarantee that future neuromorphic research at Uni Luxembourg will continue to involve Akida, I doubt the SnT SIGCOM research group would have splurged US$ 9,995 on a Brainchip Shuttle PC Dev Kit, if they hadn’t been serious about utilising it intensively… 🛰”
