BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Balliwood]

Dear Fact Finder,

I once worked for a company that said the following to me in my interview:

"We want to be the best company in our field. This also includes everything we do and present. Therefore, we do not allow ourselves the smallest mistakes because even these show that we are not the best."

If BrainChip makes mistakes and we see them, you can be sure that customers/potential customers will see them also and at this time, BrainChip cannot afford to make mistakes, not even the minor ones. Therefore it is not a minor thing to make (obvious) mistakes.

My opinion.
CHIPS

Evident Care



I think this concern about details is valid. All the companies one really enjoys, like Apple, Porsche, Bang & Olufsen, show a seamless progression of evident care in all their activities. And it is because one sees the accuracy and elegance in the things read and used, the things one can see, that they build trust that the same level of care extends into the things one cannot see, the inner workings.



The other charming quality in these companies is their lightness of touch. Their products are unashamedly beautiful, the engineering faultless, yet their advertisements often have an ironic or witty twist.



These are qualities that Brainchip should emulate.

I just want to add, as someone who is selling AI - computer vision technology, which includes the sale of Edge Boxes (not AKIDA Edge Boxes, but the old school style).. these are about 1/20th of the size of the boxes we sell. I can see this making deployments much easier, especially when the client's comms rack is completely full. The other significant advantage of a box of this size is the noise. Our Edge Boxes sound like a rocket ship once we deploy them. Makes it tricky when our clients have their comms racks next to the manager's desk. I'm sure these barely make a peep and will create significant cost-savings for large-scale deployments. Excited to get our hands on them one day.

Just watched the demo video. This is very cool! No more yelling at google assistant to turn the bloody thing on. Just point and use the force.
Really excited about the possibilities using this at home.

Truly, everybody knows this, and have known for a long time, you are not telling us anything new.
and it just gets a little tiring hearing it again and again.

It's okay to vent frustration at the NDA's.

You can think about what they mean.

If every potential client is demanding an NDA then that means that Akida is so shit hot they don't want their competitors to jump on the Akida bus too. If, on the other hand BrainChip is demanding them that is because they want to spend their time developing Akida and not flaffing about and being answerable to everyone for what the client is doing with Akida, and how well it works.

Also, there appear to be many products out there with AI inside where all that has been added to the chip is some number crunching capability. This can look bad for us as it looks like they are stealing Akida's thunder. However it does move the world forward towards a ubiquitous use of AI which will ultimately lead to us provided we can last the time needed to be accepted.

So here's to everyone feeling frustrated but hopeful.

Just tell your boss you'll bend them over your knee if they don't contact BC and get the ball rolling lickidisplit.
Do they want your company to be left behind?
Really!!!!

Congratulations PVDM on your retirement.
Whilst it is known that you will continue certain duties and still have continued input into your Company and invention it is still a milestone worthy of comment. Thank you for what you have contributed to the world and for structuring BrainChip in such a way that gave me the opportunity to participate. Well Done, Well Done, Well Done and please enjoy the fruits of your labour and the life you wish for yourself as you transition into well deserved retirement. May you enjoy good Health, good wealth and good friends and family to share it all with.

This pretty much just added the same value (I.e. zero), but you used more words and encouraged people to take a nap half way through reading because it was so rehashed and a great waste to read. Waiting for fresh material from you buddy.

Those marquee brands also emanate desirability and are thoroughbreds within their markets. They also sell physical products, they are B2C, we’re B2B. Our sweet spot lies in marketing our key USPs in a way that speaks the language of Porsche and B&O etc, using beautifully crafted and targeted copy that cuts through to the people who will jump to a solution that beats all others and will dictate future processing for decades. We are at ‘foreplay’ stage, 2nd base requires attraction and a leap of faith.

You pick on people who make mistakes on here 123, You pick n choose obviously your not consistent,
Is that how you run your life, pick and choose sort of guy

Stop feeding the troll!

Hi Chips
I love stories so here is one for you.

When I employed Secretary typists it was sufficient to circle the mistake and give it back to them. They understood the circle indicated a mistake. They then corrected it and the work came back to me and I signed and off it went.

I never once spent all day for a week berating the person over a typo. I never sacked anyone for a typo even if it was missed by someone.

I absolutely never after ranting for a week over a typo came back to it in subsequent weeks time and time again making jokes at the persons expense.

I never found the typo so important that I stopped the analyse of a matter of significance to promote the typo’s significance to all making it the only thing I spoke about in the office day after day with every client who came through the door.

So what I would suggest is that those that do are either in need of help or have another agenda.

I would suggest that the appropriate action for even a pedant to take is to circle the typo and send it to Tony Dawe with a please correct.

Then post if they are so inclined that they have detected the typo and notified the company.

You obviously do not agree and consider it should dominate the conversation for weeks on end

If you were an employer I think you would find yourself on the front end of a constructive dismissal case if you behaved like this with your employees.

The End.

My opinion no further research or comment required.
Fact Finder

Hello Fact Finder

I don't like stories, but rather reality!

1. Nobody discussed "all day for a week" beating anybody! You were the one writing most words about it.
2. Secretaries should not make typing mistakes especially nowadays with automatic correction programs and when going public. It always gives bad impressions. In this case, nobody did a second check!
3. It surprises me over and over again how much and often you defend BrainChip even over minor topics.

My end too.

Have a good weekend!

Couple of dots for CES and 4 years in the making perhaps.... may have already been linked prior so apologies in advance if that's the case.

BrainChip has demonstrated the capabilities of its latest class of neuromorphic processing IP and Device in two sessions at the tinyML Summit at the Samsung Strategy & Innovation Center in San Jose, California, the company announced.

“We recognize the growing need for low-power machine learning for emerging applications and architectures and have worked diligently to provide a solution that performs complex neural network training and inference for these systems,” said in a prepared statement Louis DiNardo, CEO of BrainChip. “We believe that as a high-performance and ultra-power neural processor, Akida is ideally suited to be implemented at the Edge and IoT applications.”

In a session titled “Bio-Inspired Edge Learning on the Akida Event-Based Neural Processor,” BrainChip rolled out a demo of how the Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip processes standard vision CNNs using industry standard flows and distinguishes itself from traditional deep-learning accelerators through key features of design choices and bio-inspired learning algorithm. As a result, Akida takes up 40 to 60 percent less computations to process a CNN compared to a DLA.

AI Features That Enable Food Ideas and Intelligence​

To enhance the experience in the kitchen, the 2024 Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with AI Family Hub™+ has been packed with a variety of innovative technologies. One impressive new feature is AI Vision Inside, which uses a smart internal camera that can recognize items being placed in and out of the refrigerator. Also, it is equipped with “Vision AI” technology, which can identify up to 33 different fresh food items based on a predefined set of training data comprising approximately one million food photographs.2 With the food list that is available and editable on the Family Hub™+ screen, users can also manually add expiration date information for items that they would like to keep track and the refrigerator sends out alerts through its 32” LCD screen for items before reaching that date.
