no worries. The human emulator uses just 1% of a 2050 EC2 mini compute instance.

- Qwertious 11y agoThis is a scary thought: What language will people be written in? Imagine if you were stuck in an emulator written in Java. I'd be a little bit afraid of being in an emulator written in C++ that makes heavy use of Boost, though.
- ThomasBombadil 11y agoSo, if the distributed hardware infrastructure cluster supporting 10,000 EC2 mini compute instances is packed with 1,000,000 emulations of humans, how important are the physical data centers that encompass all their backups, master copies and live instances?
- loup-vaillant 11y agoAs important as a city hosting 1,000,000 people. No more, no less. The emulation of a human is a human.
- ThomasBombadil 11y agoI disagree. Less important, and no more important than a public library filled with books. It'd be a shame if it burned down, but the books are not the humans that wrote them. Those are long gone.
