gollark: And I have about the same number of neurons as a really big GPU has transistors, I think, but those aren't that comparable.
gollark: I can manage probably 0.01 FLOPS given a bit of paper to work on, while my phone's GPU can probably do a few tens of GFLOPS, but emulating my brain would likely need EFLOPS of processing power and exabytes of memory.
gollark: Depending on how you count it my brain is much more powerful, or much less, than a lemon-powered portable electronic device.
gollark: Of course, it's possible that this is the wrong way to think about it, given that my brain is probably doing much more computation than a tablet powered by 5000 lemons thanks to a really optimized (for its specific task) architecture, and some hypothetical ultratech computer could probably do better.
gollark: I mean, it uses maybe 10W as far as I know (that's the right order of magnitude) so about as much as a tablet charger or 5000 lemons.
