@Houndloaf Me too! I've almost finished all the icecream I got at the closing-down sale! in reply to Houndloaf 00:02:53, 2013-03-26
Unindexed static neuromap state-dump should be about 0.7Tb. Indexed though, currently unsure. 100billion times more? 00:45:36, 2013-03-26
1200yottabytes. Hm. Here's hoping I've screwed up that math. 01:27:41, 2013-03-26
@BdoubleO100 Hello! in reply to BdoubleO100 01:34:27, 2013-03-26
480,000yottabytes. Fffffffffuck. And that's just neuroreceptor states. No internal or environmental state data. 01:45:12, 2013-03-26
Ballpark, at current digital storage densities, that amount of storage wouldn't fit on the entire surface of the Earth (land & sea). 01:55:29, 2013-03-26
In fact, it looks like it'd need to cover the entire surface of TEN Earth's. Aren't analogue systems amazing? All that is inside your head. 01:57:06, 2013-03-26
(that's bollocks tho, you always get this when digitising analogue systems, just depends on the resolution) 01:58:11, 2013-03-26
By my numbers you could fit a bit over 1 million virtual neurons on a 1Tb hard-drive. Hope there's some optimisation room. :P 02:04:35, 2013-03-26

@Houndloaf I get the feeling that's sorta illegal, tho I can't say for sure why. Conflict of interests? Patient confidentiality issues? in reply to Houndloaf 15:12:49, 2013-03-26

Succinctly; I suspect one of the biggest problems in AI is trying to reverse-engineer something that was never engineered to start with. 23:16:08, 2013-03-26

Apparently the issue is with the bluetooth dongles. The default Windows stack for them doesn't do audio under service pack 2&3. Only SP1. 02:19:12, 2013-03-24
The replacement drivers for XP have been removed from the manufacturer's website. Scrounging old versions. Otherwise will replace units. 02:20:27, 2013-03-24
