Hello all. Yes back to watch all the various goings on happening here. And I have been having so much fun over at the Crapper silently annoying Shareman and Dean by modding as many of their posts as possible. They didn't even know I was around. blamed others! lol.
I wanted to Bait Shareman to confirm some info on his true identity which he obliged and I knew it would get me expelled, but it was worth seeing him panic first.
Its a dirty industry this Australian financial markets! absolutely corrupt. So glad I threw my licence at them some 20 yrs ago. Never regretted it.

It's good to have you back Yak! Your view of things reassures me or knowing that your eyes are still with us.

I stumbled across this new technology that the US Army is using in their Enhanced Night Vision Goggles - Binoculars (ENVG-B) while following some Ukrainian chats (guilty pleasure of mine). Essentially, it's a technology released in 2019 (pre-dates Akida chips) which enables the combatants to see in low-light conditions, and the newest enhancement by L3Harris includes some cool edge-detection capabilities which enhance the target acquisition time. Instead of the typical laser-green monochrome you'd expect to associate with night-vision goggles, the ENVG-B offers views that would fit right into a futuristic video game. Clear neon white outlines of people and artillery, detailed trees and brush, bright light blue figures, and tactical information are all displayed right in front of the soldier's eyes.

L3Harris ENVG-B

The ENVG-B is a helmet-mounted, dual-waveband goggle with industry-leading, fused white phosphor and thermal technologies.

It got me thinking on how much processing power is required just for the edge-detection function, and how this would be a perfect application for Akida. So I searched for Akida applications in edge detection and I found this document (Published: 11 December 2022) attached, "Implementation of the Canny Edge Detector Using a Spiking Neural Network" authored by Krishnamurthy V. Vemuru, whom some of you would recognise as a Brainchip employee.

As you can see from the images, the SNN Canny edge detector picks up more detail than the conventional Canny breed. If that can be combined with a DVS feed which picks up only changes in contrast that will elevate the edge detection capabilities.

In the interest of power, space and weight savings, not to mention detail, I'd be surprised if L3Harris isn't already experimenting with Akida.

Greetings,

Lot's of good research and dot connecting the past week (Prophesee, Oculi, ISL, etc....) after a brief period of some consternation, especially as it relates to the price drop recently which rattled everyone including me, but only briefly. Positivity is good for the soul and good for each other so I promote and encourage putting a positive spin on things, no matter what. Or, buy more shares when the price tumbles. That's opportunistic and making lemonade out of lemon type days.

I applaud everyone who is (are) being civil and patiently waiting for this slow cooker to finally "ding" and we can enjoy the fruits of our companies labor.

The "Good, Bad, and the Fugly..." as well as the "Company Frustration Venting" threads are well done since they are akin to mosh pits, and some of us just don't mosh anymore or are too old and tired to engage....period. But you youngsters have a good time, just don't hurt yourselves.

On a totally off topic and different matter vis a vis the Brainchip discussion, I took note of and was attracted to a Nasdaq equity this week that caught my eye because of a significant jump in its price. The company is Intuitive Machines, Inc (Symbol: LUNR). Intuitive + Machines + LUNR were words that were just too provocative to me to pass up. So I searched it, and was generally impressed. A niche company to be heavily involved in future space exploration.

My interest in the company was a combination of 1) is this something I may want to invest or buy stock in (?) and, of course ... 2) might they be a company who could benefit from Akida technology? On item two I was unable to connect any dots to Brainchip. However, what did catch my eye and I throw it out here for casual weekend reading is the method for how this small company listed on the Nasdaq.

I have little doubt that somehow, someday, Brainchip will list on the Nasdaq. But I have no idea how they might do it and / or when. Anyway, .......the following news release article explains generally how this company did it. It may be of interest to some of you because I found it interesting.

Thanks, and have a nice weekend. dippY

As always, DYOR

You may be on to something. SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) have fallen out favor from their heyday in more speculative times...eg 18 months ago. With semiconductors now in focus and seemingly rallying and of course AI entering mainstream this might be a brilliant avenue for BRN to pursue...

Right audience, right time. Yes brilliant.

Seems a marked improvement to raising money at 50 cents Australian.

Putting Brainchip's connections and prospects in a prospectus would attract major investment attention and

reduce shorts to rubble. OK, tears

Someone connected must pass this on to Brainchip management. Worth exploring.

In spades

MegaChips, or Osaka Japan and Campbell CA, was the leading investor in this round with their $75m (USD) investment. We are strong believers in the role that WiFi HaLow can play in the future of Industrial IoT, Smart Cities, Surveilance and access control systems, the smart home and many other applications which can benefit from its unique combination of long range and high bandwidth. Unmatched by any other communications products.

Morse Micro secured $94.76m in Series B venture funding​

Morse Micro is an Australia-based semiconductor company. It’s the creator of the Wi-Fi HaLow chip, which is used in connected home automation devices. These connected devices are often part of the cityscape.

Not only do semiconductors underpin the electronics that we use in our everyday lives such as smartphones, but they are also critical for the data gathering processes that smart cities operate on.

That is why Morse Micro’s $94.76m Series B round has earned its place on the list of the biggest smart city deals in 2022.

Morse Micro said it intended to use the funds from the round to fund its expansion into Japan. Dealroom.com estimates that Morse Micro’s current valuation stands at $700m.

Investors backing the raise included Blackbird Ventures, SpringCapital Investment, Skip Capital and Uniseed, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, CSIRO Financial Services, MegaChips Corporation .

Nvidia and Intel team up on chips for metaverse workstations​

The need for accelerated computing power is growing exponentially due to the explosion of AI-augmented workflows, from traditional R&D and data science workloads to edge devices on factory floors or in security offices, to generative AI solutions for text conversations and text-to-image applications, the companies said.

Next-generation platform features​

With a breakthrough new compute architecture for faster individual CPU cores and new embedded multi-die interconnect bridge packaging, the Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 series of processors enable scalability for increased workload performance. Available with up to 56 cores in a single socket, the top-end Intel Xeon w9-3495X processor features a redesigned memory controller and larger L3 cache, delivering up to 28% more single-threaded and 120% more multi-threaded performance over the previous-generation Xeon W processors.

Based on the Nvidia Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, the latest Nvidia RTX 6000 brings power efficiency and performance to the new workstations. It features 142 third-generation RT Cores, 568 fourth-generation Tensor Cores and 18,176 latest-generation CUDA cores combined with 48GB of high-performance graphics memory to provide up to 2x ray-tracing, AI, graphics and compute performance over the previous generation.

And Nvidia’s ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNICs enable professionals to handle demanding, high-bandwidth 3D
rendering and computer-aided design tasks, as well as traditional office work with line-speed network
connectivity support based on two 25Gbps ports and GPUDirect technology for increasing GPU bandwidth by 10x over standard NICs. The high-speed, low-latency networking and streaming capabilities enable teams to move and ingest large datasets or to allow remote individuals to collaborate across applications for design and visualization.

The new workstations will be available in the coming months, and you can preorder from Boxx and HP starting today.

BOOM! date is out for the first two cities (San Jose and Amsterdam) for Edge ML Series - regarded as the best edge ML roadshow. Mark your calendars for March 27! and request your invite for the event in the link below (limited space - seriously) . Leading with keynotes and hands on workshops...

This chart indicates we are still in a downward trend and also in a descending wedge which means as we come to the pointy end of the wedge the share price needs to make a decision if it will go up or down. There is a strong monthly support at .50c but if we drop below that then the next significant support is around .38.

I hope that an announcement or some form of licensing agreement comes out soon to encourage the market to react positively for the share price. If not I can see the share price sinking even lower.

The 5 day chart shows an uptrend, since the attack and drop where over 5 million "reported" shorts, were taken out (1.8 million were taken out the day before).

The share price rose despite another 1.6 million shorts being taken out on the 16th.
Although it can't be known if these have already been sold and scooped up by buyers.

What are the effects of shorting, on chart dynamics?
