- astrodust 10y agoI'm not saying it isn't worth trying, but for every additional disruption built into this offering the probability of success plunges dramatically. Do we really need a new everything? What problems do these new things solve that couldn't be addressed through other mature technologies used in new and novel ways? Maybe we do, but if that's the case they've done a terrible job of articulating why. Most importantly: How can you possibly secure all these things given the complex nature of interactions between all of them?
- yongjik 10y agoPersonally, I prefer this quote from Hannessy and Patterson: > The level below main memory contains rotating magnetic disks that take millions of clock cycles to access. Because of the great discrepancy in access time, no one has yet built a virtual memory operating system that writes through main memory to disk on every store by the processor. (This remark should not be interpreted as an opportunity to become famous by being the first to build one!)
