Agree.
> S3 even operates at a scale where we could detect "bitrot" - random bit flips caused by gamma rays hitting a hard drive platter (roughly one per second across trillions of objects iirc).
I would expect any cloud provider to be able to detect bitrot these days.
- senderista 3y agoI think the point the OP was trying to make is that they regularly detected bitrot due to their scale, not that they were merely capable of doing so.
- Helmut10001 3y agoAh, thank you. This makes more sense. And I think I remember reading about it once. Apologies for the misinterpretation!
- pclmulqdq 3y agoEveryone with significant scale and decent software regularly detects bitrot.
