Reply to comment by perrinoia in Do you think BluRay DVDs are the final form of physical media? Or will a new physical media format come to be, and what would that look like? by Daveyb003
The cloud is not a magical place in the sky, it is just someone else’s computer. This means that physical media will never be obsolete because the data always needs to be stored somewhere.

That article conveniently leaves out critical information like the read and write speeds, as well as the resistance to being dropped.

That wouldn’t be viable for the same reason that animals don’t have chloroplasts. It would take more energy to carry them around than they could possibly produce, which is why plants are sedentary.

I thought that we would do that using interdimensional wormholes and large capacity batteries but this is probably more efficient.

Forever is defined as until the next coup d’etat.

Until we have viable space travel and terraforming, land will still be a limiting resource and will prevent creating a post scarcity society.

Not all cells in the body are affected so it’s likely that the cells that got the gene died and were replaced by cells without the gene.

Digesting lactose is a highly advantageous trait, so lacking it is a genetic disorder. I have met many people who are lactose intolerant and wish that they could digest lactose, but I have never met one person who wished they were lactose intolerant. The inability to produce certain amino acids is also a genetic disorder, and the entire population has it.

This isn’t necessarily always the case, just look at the most efficient way to fit 17 squares in a larger square.

I have a few questions:
-
How many GPUs does it take to run?
-
Is it better or worse than ChatGPT?
-
Will it be Open Source?

I wouldn’t use VR even if it was indistinguishable from the real world because I believe we should focus on making the real world a better place rather than creating a fake world and being at the mercy of whoever hosts the servers.

Unlikely a solution to the Fermi paradox. I and many other people would never use VR, so it is unlikely that 100% of an alien population would use VR unless it was imposed on them by force.

Why is the DNA in the telomeres transcripted into RNA if the purpose of it is to act as a buffer zone to prevent DNA damage at the ends of chromosomes?

That makes sense, but would robot limbs be any easier to produce and connect to the brain than biological ones?

That sounds interesting. Maybe in the future once we figure out how to regrow limbs we will also be able to grow extra limbs.
