Being superman, because I couldn't be a supercomputer.

Intresting. You want do some cool stuff with it apparently. Want to know.

The thing with super computers is that it is basically multiprocessor machine with fast communication. The sad thing is that for regular person finds laptop from 1997 to be more useful. If I'm right there is a need for a terminal computer between user and supercomputer (just a wild quess) so user does not get direct access. And it basically shines on integer based stuff (am I right) where as GPUs are better at normal graphical gaming entertainment. Well the GPUs are probably utilized in some supercomputers.

you are a supercomputer
Even better, you're many orders of magnitude beyond a supercomputer.

Now, if you said you wanted to be DATA from Star Trek...

Pluto's not part of the solar system anymore.

Super computers are just reaching the computational capacity of a single human brain. You'll have one for $1k on your desktop in about 10 years. Or, as mentioned, you have one in the floppy grey mass on top of your shoulders today.

My current location is classified.
You want to be GLaDOS? Wait until some technocracy takes over in the future.

Why not have the best of both worlds instead and improve Brain to Computer interface tech?

Imagine all your little neurons having their own little laptops.

but our processing speed is slow as fuck and rooted by emotion. It is faulty, give me a super computer and ill never be wrong

not yet. :phear:

I want to be like Jarvis, or Ultron.

Also the human brain is shit , it is too inefficient, depsite its complexity compared to our current computers.

thats obviously better, but i don't want any emotions stoping me from doing stupid things.

I want to BE IN a supercomputer

evidently our time is coming...but first we must KILL ALL HUMANS

HAL had a conflict in his orders.

The proper title for this thread should have been

I want to BE IN a supercomputer

but our processing speed is slow as fuck

It's highly parallel

and rooted by emotion.

That's what makes it interesting

It is faulty, give me a super computer and ill never be wrong

Software and computer hardware never makes mistakes? As an engineer I beg to differ.

Even better, you're many orders of magnitude beyond a supercomputer.

No, see my post above. Supercomputers are reaching the computational capacity of the human brain. They're just not running the right software.

This reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell anime where one of the characters uploaded the consciousness of his faction to the internet. They were facing annihilation IRL so they thought that downloading their minds to the Net would be the best alternative to destruction.

there are tons of shit I don't know, like how the human body works and how the brain works and why there is pain and what is time. My primitive brain cant answer these questions.

Probably going to hack the pentagon and steal the nuclear launch code tbh.

its 90% more accurate than a human tbh.



If this thread turns into a brain vs supercomputer debate, my opinion is that a supercomputer pwns the brain like an athlete pwns a baby in a sport.

For every input at any time for a computer, you will always or almost always get the same output.

Supercomputer we must create, human decides what goes into it.

The difference is that we have the ability to learn and adapt, super computers do not. We manipulate the system, but it can process more efficiently

If we are somehow able to create an algorithm to allow computers to do that, learn and adapt to the environment, then they win hands down. You can say we have heart, determination, motivation, but that only goes so far =/

Both those statements are wrong.

Code:
int getHourOfDay(var input) {
       return Random.GetInteger();
}

That will both be wrong 90% of the time and will continually give different (random) outputs. Before you quibble it's a trivial example to prove the point (and lets not get into seed values), there are an infinite class of algorithms that fit this.

I don't know much about code, but isn't that because you have it set to a random value, so if that's the case, yes. You will get a RANDOM VALUE, every time because it's set as arbitrary. One can say that it is very unlikely that one will get the exact same value every time from that code, making my statement consistent because you inputted a code to something random, and random is what you get. Every time you open a folder or file on windows, IT WILL BE THAT FILE OR FOLDER. Unless you have a folder that is randomized, then you will have a folder that opens a RANDOM FOLDER.

So still the code is doing its exact job, the code you have inputted is still doing its main output goal, while the numeric value will not be consistent because you have set it as so, the code itself is doing its job and not doing something completely different.

I think what I have said is true unless I misinterpreted the code, then i am totally wrong.
