> an Exa-ops computer I think it's misleading to compare the brain to a computer, the architecture differences mean that the brain is great at some stuff (vision for instance) and terrible at others (multiply 2 64-bit integers in your head). I don't know if computational meat will ever be faster than machines at number crunching. (when I say machines I'm including next-generation computers beyond silicon too). But that's okay, each seems to complement each other's weaknesses. http://www.righto.com/2014/09/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and-paper.html http://www.righto.com/2014/09/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and...
