Right. You're talking Kurzweil HEPP and I'm talking Moravec HEPP (and shading

I may want your gadget when I go to upload, though.

> Um, that's 10 petaflops, not 10 teraflops. I'm assuming a neural network 
with 10^15 synapses (about 1 or 2 byte each) with 20 to 100 ms resolution, 
10^16 to 10^17 operations per second.  One Tesla = 350 GFLOPS, 1.5 GB, 120W, 
$1.3K.  So maybe $1 billion and 100 MW of power for a few hundred thousand of 
these plus glue.
