      If all of Lenny’s users pool together it should cost just, like, $1000 each. We can each rotate our use to 3.7 days a year.

    What is the power bill for running that for one day in, say, San Francisco?

    What’s amazing is that 99% of people are reading this article on a supercomputer. Likely one that fits in their pocket. If the technology trend continues like it has for the past 70 years or so, we’ll probably have Cheyenne-equivalent computers on our desktops, if not our pockets, in 10-20 years.

    If you can afford to be patient, you can get Cheyenne a lot cheaper and a lot smaller.
