âmorning sickness is a misnomer for many women, since the nausea can occur any time during the dayâ More example sentences âIndeed, the very name seems a misnomer, suggesting that justice has been definitely achieved just by spending a few extra pennies that fair trade guarantees above the market price.â âThe disease name is actually a misnomer because North Carolina reports the most number of cases.â
The processing power of the human brain is actually on the order of a few petaflops. So, you know, Gibson was only off by a factor of a few million. We can now match petaflopsâthe worldâs fastest supercomputer is actually about 30 petaflops.
... the processing capacity of the brain has not been reliably determined. But a fair estimate is that the 1.5 kilogram organ has 10^10 neurons, [each] with 10^3 synapses firing an average 10 times per second, which is about 10^14 bits/second.ssuming that most information (in particular, long-term information) is stored in those links, at no more than 10 bits per link, then the absolute maximum capacity of the brain is 25*10^14 bits.
