Crab-based neural network
Sentient AI: āOMG Iām a crab?!ā Scientist: āAlways have beenā¦ā
not A crab, no.
Rust has gone too far.
Oh so computers are doing carcinization now as well

when two swarms of crabs collide, they merge and continue in a direction that is the sum of their velocities.
Hahahahahaha. I love nature
Why 640 thousand? You mean store and retrieve? Because 240 UTF-8 chars is 240*64= maximum just over 15 thousand bits.
It also equates 1 bit to 1 logic gate, which Iām not sure itās possible to create memory using that few gates unless itās read-only. All memory cell circuits I know of require at least 2 logic gates.
DRAM needs 1 transistor per cell, but it loses stored data quickly, and a crab-based computer would probably be too slow to update it.
Ah right. DRAM also requires a capacitor instead though, and I donāt know how youād represent that with crabs. Maybe itās possible.
Why 640 thousand?
It should be enough for anyone.
Dehydrate!
(For anyone unfamiliar with it, thereās a similar concept in Cixin Liuās Three Body series. Forgot which of the books.)
The first one
Also in Adrian Tchaikovskyās āChildren of Timeā and the following books!
One of my coworkers calls taking a piss āDehydratingā and it has stuck in my head since.
How do you store a tweet in logic gates? Would you not need to construct crab based memory?
And to play doom you would need a crab based cpu with much more functionality than the few logic gates they have working.
You can create memory by arranging logic gates in bistable or latch circuits.
If you can have NAND-gates, a clock and some wires, you can build anything.
Go visit nandgame.com to try it out yourself!
Based on the nand2tetris.org courses if you want an even deeper dive.
I know what Iāll do in the next boring lecture!
If the logic gates can feed back onto themselves, you can build a simple [flip flop](en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics\)) that can store a bit.
Yeah but you need 2 logic gates for one bit so it would take 16 logic gates for a byte, not 8.
At what framerate?
Iām not doing that math. One every 6 hours.
What if you overclock the crabs? Surely you could reach 1 per hour!
How do you overclock the crabs? Hot butter?
BORN TO KILL
HELL IS A FUCK
š¦ Rip and Tear 1993
I am logic gate
16,039,018,500 SOLDIER CRABS
There are not 8 logic gates in a byte, there are 8 bits in a byte
Yeah this part really confused me
Original is correct If the gate they built with it with is a D-flipflop.
Do we need any more proof that crabs are indeed the ultimate lifeform?
Can a crab do a kickflip?
.
Too late, Pratchett and Ponder did it with ants, so itās more micro
Also what happens when the crabs die? Does the computer start recycling itself?
They were too engrossed in if they could, to condsider if they should.
Some people may be asking āis that a bit too many crabs?ā
The answer is that itās an adequate amount of crabs. For that task at least.
