what would you do with $1.3b?

How about building a Supercomputer Replica of a Human Brain.

I bow down to our supercomputer overlords.

If that male or female brain?

If that male or female brain?

I guess we'll find out by the end of the month.

If that male or female brain?

lol.

I think the current mapping of the human brain and how each presently understood (relatively) component corresponds with the mind is quite rudimentary to mirror digitally.

Sounds like a waste. And TBH, didn't read the article. :biggrin:

I'd try to make poison oak and poison ivy extinct. Because fuck those species.

2 chicks at the same time

Probably build a data center... and a super computer inside. And run fiber to it, of course.

And 2 chicks at once in the generator room.

 

[dawp]

why stop at two? y'all thinking too small. I'd get a harem of at least 20 chicks.

buy anandtech and shut down the site.

Would that buy a decent sized mountain? I would probably never do anything with it, but I'd like to be able to tell people about all the stuff on "my mountain". I've heard people say that before, but I'll be the first one to mean it. Other people can live there, but only so long as they call it "SlitheryDee's mountain". I cant have any people claiming ownership of my mountain just because they were living there or something. Those people need to go buy their own mountains.

Giant yacht, international waters.. you can do anything in international waters. Have a team of mercenaries to do by bidding.

That guy must write really good grants to get 1.3B from cash strapped Euro countries.

 

[Red Squirrel]

buy anandtech and shut down the site.

Actually I'd probably buy it, keep it running, but change stuff around. First thing would be getting rid of that ridiculous unneeded "maintenance" window. That's a lot of lost ad revenue for no reason. Of course, it would also be hosted in my shiny new data center.

Two chicks at the same time man

 

[DigDog]

after much consideration, i also have to go with two chicks at the same time.

 

[spaceman]

id buy it now












ofc

 

[T_Yamamoto]

h&b

 

[rudder]

I am going to buck the current trend and go with 3 chicks at the same time. I will be doing the dirty dance with two of them while the third is in the kitchen making me a sandwich.

 

[Blain]

buy anandtech and shut down the site.

The hardware/review side, the forums or both?

That's like $30 million a year if I stuck it into a shitty savings account.
