Harking back to my old Homestead Space writings. Outpost 1 would have appeared the size of the moon in a 2000km orbit. 01:18:54, 2013-03-28
Thankfully it was always written as being geostationary before it's move to L4. A mere 15th of the apparent size of the moon there. 01:22:26, 2013-03-28

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
