   This product makes no sense to me as a technical writer. So much of what I do requires "checking" what was written earlier (e.g. for notation consistency, for references, or to establish parallel structure). In fact I seek exactly

   So if we wanted to record O(16B) neurons in the cortex, and currently we're recording around 1K neurons, and doubling time 6.3 years, this means we'll have to wait O(150 years) before we can recored ALL the cortex firings. This is
