Check this shit out World-record Supercomputer Mimics Human Sight Brain Mechanisms

Only costs $120 Million for the worlds first supercomputer to sustain 1 petaflop

For those of you who are not technical enough to know what a petaflop is well its simply means it can do a quadrillion computations per second.

Wouldn't it be something to see in our lifetimes a regular desktop computer come out with this type of performance matrix.
 


did you know?

$1000 will buy one with the computational power of the human brain about 20 years.

YouTube - Did you know?

if you don't want to sit through six incredible minutes of that, scroll 1/3 of the way down here:
When will computer hardware match the human brain? by Hans Moravec

of course what the human brain is actually capable of is still unknown, we're guesstimated to use around 3-7% of capacity.

granted this is banking on the hope that we don't nuke ourselves to the stone age.
or yellowstone erupting.
or the poles flipping.
or whatever.

i'm hopeful.

I remember watching that awhile back

Also your right there are still a lot of arguments I've heard of researchers saying that they need a computer to run at a min of 100 petaflops all the way upto tens of thousands of petaflops before it can match the power of the human brain.

This is goes to show how smart my brain really is hahahaha
 
In less then 20 years we will use computers to unlock the other 90%+ of our brains.

Cybernetics FTW!

That would be one sweet setup to have though!
 
Very nice video and I think that the shift is gonna happen.

Nice vids.

Utter bullshit, anywhere you read this type of crap is wrong, we use getting on for 100% of our brains.

Thanks for filling us in Dr. Misspelled-Way-Of-Typing-Blue-Jam

Now, if we can buy a computer with the computational power of a human brain in 20 years, how cheap will pancakes be at IHOP in 20 years? That's the real question.
 
Speaking of done up computers, could you fucking imagine what the computer games are going to be like in 20 years, I'm only 25 so I'll hopefully still be around to see what they will be like even though I only play a very few selected games.

BluuueJammm is actually correct, despite his awkward lingual skills. I'm actually really surprised that people still believe the "10% of your brain" thing. It should be common knowledge by now that it's just not true.

Actually by Moore' Law our desktop computers should be running at about 32 petaflops.

The only real problem is that there's great doubt that transistors can be made that small to fit on chips since you get to sizes of only a few atoms making up a transistor crazy stuff. Anyway advances in quantum computers could make up for that greatly.

Moore's law has held pretty solidly for about a hundred years now but who knows if it will continue.

Take this article where intel says in 5 years that desktops will run at about a teraflop.

Intel pledges 80-core chips in five years: News - Hardware - ZDNet Australia

Double that ever 2 years (Moore's law) and you come up with 32 petaflop desktops in about 35 years.

Yeah moore's Law has held its weight for awhile now but they say that it will continue to remain true for at least another 20 to 50 years before it begins to stabalize.

And it was coined in 1965 so its only been around for 43 Years

You might want to use a better source even though your correct haha

WikiPedia said:
Humans use only 10% or less of their brain: Even though many mysteries of brain function persist, every part of the brain has a known function.[7][8][9]
  • This misconception most likely arose from a misunderstanding (or misrepresentation in an advertisement) of neurological research in the late 1800s or early 1900s when researchers either discovered that only about 10% of the neurons in the brain are firing at any given time or announced that they had only mapped the functions of 10% of the brain up to that time (accounts differ on this point).
  • Another possible origin of the misconception is that only 10% of the cells in the brain are neurons; the rest are glial cells that, despite being involved in learning, do not function in the same way that neurons do.

But the real fact of the matter is that we still don't truly know how much of our brains we use, it could be 15% or it could be 80% but I highly highly doubt that we use 100% of our brain power, thats like saying no one will ever get any smarter but yet we advance and become smarter every single day.

Just doesn't hold true.
