That's about 1/18th of the 64 bit address space!

- klysm 3y ago64 bits should be enough for anybody. I remember reading exabyte many years back and thinking it was a truly absurd number to be in one place
- kemotep 3y agoEven storing everything in 100 Gigabyte “8k Blu-ray quality chunks”, you would have to be storing 10 Million Movies and TV shows to reach 1 exabyte worth of storage. At an average of 30 minutes each, that would take something like 500 years to watch all of 24/7. And that’s 1/18th the total space a 64 bit number could address. So yeah, 64 bits should be enough.
- redundantly 3y ago4K Blu-ray quality video requires a 144 Mbps bit rate. On a triple layer Blu-ray Disc (100GB in size) that nets you ~90 minutes of run time. That doesn't include audio, which can require extraordinary amounts of space as well. For comparable quality 8K recordings you need 4 time as much space as needed for 4K. 8K won't be the stopping point either.
- kemotep 3y agoCodec plays a huge role here. By your calculations the 4k blu-ray box set for Lord of the Rings, Return of the King would take 5 triple layered disks (for both the extended and theatrical versions it comes with) for just the video and no audio or anything else like the behind the scenes content when the box set only comes with 9 disks for all 3 movies. Likely not using the full bitrate you provided but still. Hard to say they aren’t getting really high quality content on the screen.
- chenxiaolong 3y agoIn case anyone is curious, I took a quick look at my copy of the set: - The Fellowship of the Ring - Theatrical: 66.7 GiB video @ 53.5 Mbps, 3.81 GiB English audio @ 3055 kbps - Extended disc 1: 51.5 GiB video @ 69.8 Mbps, 2.22 GiB English audio @ 3000 kbps - Extended disc 2: 56.8 GiB video @ 66.4 Mbps, 2.56 GiB English audio @ 2989 kbps - The Two Towers - Theatrical: 72.4 GiB video @ 57.8 Mbps, 3.90 GiB English audio @ 3108 kbps - Extended disc 1: 49.8 GiB video @ 66.9 Mbps, 2.30 GiB English audio @ 3089 kbps - Extended disc 2: 52.6 GiB video @ 58.4 Mbps, 2.73 GiB English audio @ 3032 kbps - The Return of the King - Theatrical: 73.2 GiB video @ 52.1 Mbps, 4.33 GiB English audio @ 3086 kbps - Extended disc 1: 59.2 GiB video @ 66.3 Mbps, 2.66 GiB English audio @ 2985 kbps - Extended disc 2: 61.5 GiB video @ 64.9 Mbps, 2.80 GiB English audio @ 2957 kbps
- thrtythreeforty 3y agoActually, putting it this way makes me think that 64 bits may not be enough for anybody. 1/18th of a total space is a lot. And as soon as you try to use any of those bits for routing or subdivision of your capacity, you start underutilizing the whole space. And if you argue that you should keep your routing info out of your addresses, then I feel like that's already an admission that the address isn't large enough.

- prng2021 3y agoWe’re definitely on the verge of it not being enough. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2960642/cerns-data-stores-soar-to-530m-gigabytes.html https://www.computerworld.com/article/2960642/cerns-data-sto... “In the next 10 to 20 years, data will grow immensely because the intensity of accelerator will be ramped up” https://home.cern/science/computing/storage https://home.cern/science/computing/storage “Even after the drastic data reduction performed by the experiments, the CERN Data Centre used to process on average one petabyte (one million gigabytes) of data per day during LHC Run 2. The LHC experiments plan to collect more data during LHC Run 3 than they did in the first two runs combined.”
