Hard drives couldn't possibly contain operating systems - they're much too slow to run them.

- wombatmobile 6y agoGood comment, but it might be a little too cryptic. Another attempt: Straw man: Phones are too slow and too dangerous to be used as a real time vehicular traffic indicator. If drivers were to text their location back to google every 10 seconds, they would have too many accidents. It isn't even possible to look up the location on google maps and then text a geocoordinate in 10 seconds. Drivers just wouldn't do this anyway because there is no incentive for them to do so. Google would have to pay drivers $2 or so for each location bulletin. That would cost billions and google would go bankrupt.
- blackrock 6y agoAre the solid state hard drives of today, faster than the RAM memory from the 1990s?
- amiga-workbench 6y agoEDO RAM performs quite comparably to a modern SATA SSD, I think it topped out at around 320MB/s
- undersuit 6y agoI don't think it's the bandwidth that was being opposed but the latency. The cell can run multiple transcriptions at a time just like we can increase the number of memory channels, but each one of those molecules is still waiting around for the random chance for their next molecule to physically appear on the reaction stage.
