SyNAPSE: Brains-on-a-chip

Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics, or SyNAPSE. "The program will develop a brain inspired electronic 'chip' that mimics that function, size, and power consumption of a biological cortex.

Dnepro-Petrovsk Mafia Tombstones

Note how almost every Ukranian mafia tombstones depicts a Mercedes - not paid, but very effective advertising!












The next one does not have a Mercedes, but the image is funny when compared to the meaning of the guy's name: "Sukhoi" means "the one who never takes a drop of alcohol" -
