All good Hopalong
My original post, wasn't intended as a statement of fact, just my "feel" of the name, I guess that's why I used that word..

"Although I would hardly call the B17 flying fortress, B29 super fortress or the B52 strato fortress "passenger jet thing's"

You're right, absolutely nothing passenger jetty about "those" planes


"The prototype B-17, with the Boeing factory designation of Model 299, was designed by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells, and was built at Boeing's own expense.[12] It combined features of the company's experimental XB-15 bomber and 247 transport."

Well Dingo, if you mean that both passenger planes and military planes tend to have wings, engines and a fuselage you are absolutely correct.
Physics, available materials and engineering techniques as well as intended application tend to dictate the way they tend to be connected.
But none of this has anything much to do with Brainchip so will leave this at that.

“PanocularAI Shows That There’s Another Way

The start-up from Darmstadt has developed a system that runs AI models directly on edge devices—small, energy-efficient devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or robots. With PanocularAI’s technology, these devices can independently analyze their surroundings and respond to changes—without relying on external servers.

“Our AI doesn’t just interpret images; it understands context,” explains Dr. Arya Mazaheri. “With our technology, a robot can recognize whether the person in front of it is a construction worker wearing a helmet or someone trespassing in a restricted area.”

An AI That Runs on Edge Devices

PanocularAI is developing an efficient vision solution for the next generation of autonomous systems.

This environmental perception happens in real time with minimal computational effort—a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize many industries. Lower energy consumption, higher speed, and increased security—since no data needs to be sent to external servers—are the key advantages of this innovation.”

KI ohne Cloud - PanocularAI macht intelligente Maschinen unabhängig

Wie können Maschinen nicht nur Bilder erfassen, sondern wirklich verstehen, was sie sehen? Diese Frage trieb Dr. Arya Mazaheri und Sören Heß an, als sie Panocular AI an der TU Darmstadt gründeten. Ihre Technologie ermöglicht es, Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) direkt auf kleinen, energieeffizienten...

"In 2005, Boeing hired its first CEO without aircraft engineering experience"

Yeah, but c'mon Guzzi, it was a historic moment for the Company!
Their First coloured, gay, female CEO!



I don't actually know or care, about Boeing's CEO's genetics, sexual preferences, or gender, by the way.

None of what I said or presented here Is about that.

It's about Merit, over Diversity, Equity (where it relates to Merit) and Inclusion.

Trump says the key to success is a merit-based system. Well, if that’s true, I guess his ”best people“ are just really, really good at being born rich, white and male.

PS: I believe Lockheed Martin is a supplier to Boeing.

There is always going to be a larger percentage of white males, in most pools of personnel resources, so there will always be a higher percentage in those jobs, that fit the bill.

Having DEI policies, for those reasons, will not secure the "best" people for the job.

People should not be "excluded" or "included" based on their genetics, sexual preferences, gender identity or whatever either.

That is why a pure Merit based system, is the best way.

DEI is a policy that "means well" but is BS and destructive to levels of competency, in practice.

Just my opinions

And Trump, has plenty of strong intelligent women around him and in his cabinet, so I'm not sure what the whole "white male" thing is about ..

Brain-Inspired Neuromorphic Chips Redefining AI Acceleration

Neuromorphic computing represents a groundbreaking paradigm shift in computing, designed to replicate the structure and functionality of biological neural networks.

www.eletimes.com

BrainChip’s Akida platform, another prominent digital neuromorphic processor, is tailored for ultra-low power AI inference at the edge. It employs event-based processing, leveraging hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) principles to achieve highly efficient pattern recognition. The Akida chip is designed to optimize convolutional neural network (CNN) inference while maintaining minimal power consumption, making it suitable for applications such as smart surveillance, autonomous systems, and health monitoring.


Happy as Larry

Here, it would have been appropriate to mention that BrainChip is not only expanding its ecosystem but, while others are still striving for commercialization, BrainChip has already reached that phase and is on the verge of flooding the market with Akida-equipped products… but unfortunately, another missed opportunity to make a strong statement… it’s always the same—how BrainChip is being downplayed, and that’s exactly the problem I have… it’s starting to feel almost like a conspiracy.

Quote
“IBM continues to explore hybrid analog-digital neuromorphic accelerators, while BrainChip expands the Akida ecosystem for low-power AI applications. Emerging startups like SynSense and Innatera are focusing on commercializing neuromorphic AI accelerators for edge computing, demonstrating a growing market appetite for these technologies.”

Let's hope that one of Sean's pre-AGM announcements includes BH's 3U-VPX snap card being adopted by Boeing for the F-47 and GhostBat.

Gotta love the weekend off the rails chatter from our hopeful Boeing dot, to united airlines diversity to wealthy white womens view vs Trumps view lol And well we all know the difference between Trump and an ordinary white man let alone a black man and it aint money! LOL
Disclaimer: My opinion but I am sure others may have the same opinion. Ok that's my off the rails chatter grouping all of the briefs together. Can't remember who started it but hopefully I've finished it. lol Full stop. Thanks for the laughs over the weekend.

Got a massive drive from Brissie to Melbourne in the morning over two or three days so won't be able to read much of the great posts but will catch as I always eventually do.

Thought I might bring back Sounak Dey for the start of this week. Happy Sunday night fellow brners and bring it on Brainchip.

Gilles Bezard uses LinkedIn sparingly.
As we all know, Gilles come over to BrainChip with the acquisition of SpikeNet back in 2016.
He retains his position a Senior Software Engineering Manager for BrainChip.
He pretty much only follows & likes companies, entities or individuals that he is working with.
If you are wanting to join some dots ... I can't think of a better place to start. This is quite obviously the ecosystem of collaborators/partners with which Gilles is working, with whom he can openly communicate.

Over the last 12 months, this is the complete list of companies Gilles has either "liked" or "commented" on posts from these entities.

TCS ( Sounak Dey )
Anup Vanarse ( ex BrainChip )
Alf Kuchenbuch ( VP Sales BrainChip )
Frontgrade Gaisler
Onsor
EDGX
Kurt Manninen ( BrainChip )
Mercedes Benz ( also follows Markus Shafer & Magnus Ostberg )
Cycliq ( but following Adam Osseiran (ex BrainChip) rather than working with Cycliq I think )
Neurobus
ANT61
European Space Agency

Nothing new on this list, but an encouraging list nonetheless.

IMHO, MB remains working with BrainChip, but neuromporphic compute is still in the research phase and is several years away from implementation. Look to autonomous vehicle application to be a lagging field of implementation for neuromorphic compute, not a lead application. The other two fields in Gilles list ( space and medical devices ( TCS, Onsor) ) have more viable applications in the short term.

A couple of comments from MB on this LinkedIn post last month make for interesting reading

I think if Mercedes wants to stay relevant, they are going to have to get into Humanoid Robotics at some stage.
There will be a huge market, for a "premium product" but they should have really already started a couple of years ago (although it doesn't "seem" to take much to make rapid progress these days).


What happened to Driver Monitoring though?..

"European General Safety Regulation (GSR)"

"GSR's latest update, effective July 2024, mandates that: All new vehicles must include in-cabin systems for driver drowsiness, distraction, and readiness detection. Advanced AI and vision-based technologies are essential to meet these requirements."

I thought we had a couple of real goers here, with both BeEmotion (formerly Nviso) and Emotion3D?..

And it's a lot "easier" than things like ADAS or FSD..
