Hi! 👋 I am working to make #SpikingNeuralNetworks the next big thing for #MachineLearning. Currently I'm at SynSense, focussed on applications for #SNNs, as well as toolchains to enable ML and SW Engineers to use our #Neuromorphic technology for low-power sensing and processing.
AI accelerationists frequently hype the amazing increases in productivity that AI will deliver, and the enormous benefits to society that will result.

Sending raw sensory data to the cloud is so 2022.
More and more compute capacity is rushing to the network edge — in-sensor computing is the next big thing, and #neuromorphic processor cores are ready to step into the commercial limelight.

What a horrifying article to see posted by the premier science journal. Attacks on scientists and on science are direct attacks on the rational basis for liberal democracies. None of this is normal or acceptable, and leads very quickly to a very dark place.
All scientists, regardless of their discipline or location, are potential targets for online hate. But there are things you can do to protect yourself, and resources that can help. Nature provides five steps to get started. #Academicsky 🧪
Stay safe from online hate with these five tips
In this era of anti-science activism, it‘s wise to take steps to protect your research and reputation in the digital realm.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Government is big business. *Somebody* has to do the work required to keep public agencies grinding along. If you fire full-time staff, you spend much more in personnel contracting, consultants and private firms taking up the contracts.

The main barriers to commercial adoption of #neuromorphic technology in 2025 are not technological — Neuromorphic #processors are already available, with #benchmark #applications in #audio and #vision processing showing massive advantages over conventional processing.
