Fun Fermi problem: how many FLOPS equivalent have humans ever computed?
-
@michael_nielsen Then I think you've probably outpaced humanity. About 10^9 people living ~50 years, ~20 calcs/day, around 10^14 calcs.
@mcnees Your calc is rather similar to mine, up to a few minor details. (Total ppl ~ 10^11. Many of those only slightly numerate)

@michael_nielsen even if it was 1000/day, wouldn't catch up with your calcs where each count as 100 simple ops. - End of conversation

@michael_nielsen (That was a typo -- I used 10^10.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
