No the disk things

2018-07-17 06:58:22 UTC  

Yes cds

2018-07-17 06:58:22 UTC  

?

2018-07-17 06:58:39 UTC  

But i mean

2018-07-17 06:58:42 UTC  

CDs are overrrated. The big places use Tape.

2018-07-17 06:58:46 UTC  

Hard drives arent that different from a CD

2018-07-17 06:58:52 UTC  

I saw an article about the 1tb cds

2018-07-17 06:58:55 UTC  

It's still a disk inside

2018-07-17 06:59:02 UTC  
2018-07-17 06:59:05 UTC  

I can't find it now fuck

2018-07-17 06:59:16 UTC  

Tape degrades slower and is more space efficient.

2018-07-17 06:59:30 UTC  

(atleast relative to HDDs)

2018-07-17 07:00:21 UTC  

No, no

2018-07-17 07:02:16 UTC  

It wasn't 1tb sorry

2018-07-17 07:03:10 UTC  

That's cool. But it sounds kinda experimental still.

2018-07-17 07:03:19 UTC  

Doesn't ever imply it'll become a mass technology.

2018-07-17 07:03:36 UTC  

Yeah. It's still experimental

2018-07-17 07:03:41 UTC  

But imagine the consequences

2018-07-17 07:04:02 UTC  

I dont think the consequences would be that impressive to be honest

2018-07-17 07:04:18 UTC  

This is a bit of guesswork, but it seems like the read/write would be quite shit

2018-07-17 07:04:24 UTC  

In terms of speed

2018-07-17 07:04:34 UTC  

Which limits the application to long term storage

2018-07-17 07:04:36 UTC  

Which is great

2018-07-17 07:04:43 UTC  

But not what affects most of us in daily life

2018-07-17 07:05:35 UTC  

I think the idea was as this relates to history.

2018-07-17 07:05:44 UTC  

Yeah, in regards to that perhaps

2018-07-17 07:06:06 UTC  

Another thing that I'm looking forward to is neuralink

2018-07-17 07:06:08 UTC  

I don't think it's that world-changing either. If only because there's already approaches to the almost the same outcome.

2018-07-17 07:06:21 UTC  

Incremental change as oppsed to revolutionary.

2018-07-17 07:07:19 UTC  

Neuralink sounds like the future of the human race

2018-07-17 07:07:31 UTC  

But maybe I'm too optimistic

2018-07-17 07:08:38 UTC  

Honestly having something implanted into my head that can interface with a computer makes me really uncomfortable

2018-07-17 07:08:46 UTC  

/Really/ uncomfortable

2018-07-17 07:09:08 UTC  

I'm not so bothered by the idea of interfacing with a neural interface.

2018-07-17 07:09:28 UTC  

I'm more bothered by what it could imply other people could do or what technologies needed to make it happen might enable.

2018-07-17 07:09:42 UTC  

Give me read access and I can gain write access.

2018-07-17 07:09:50 UTC  

It's more the physical implanting into my head

2018-07-17 07:09:52 UTC  

And that's terrifying IMO

2018-07-17 07:09:53 UTC  

that makes me uncomfortable
