If one millionth of the brain is 1.4 petabytes, the whole brain would take 1.4 zettabytes of storage, roughly 4% of all the digital data on Earth.

That's a pretty cool idea, though I think it would be a challenge to align the plans perfectly with the actual construction site.

No need for all these new-fangled tools when good ol' dd does the job just fine. (Though they certainly reduce the chance of accidentally nuking the wrong disk).

~~Could always use a nickel, they're a nickel copper alloy IIRC which should be more resilient.~~

Edit: I'm dumb, older nickels don't have a date on them. Quarters or dimes should work though.

There's a big difference between being against Israel and being antisemitic, and people need to see that. Heck, I'm literally Jewish and I don't support Israel.

Where are you located? I'm in need of some new backup drives and would be happy to pay a reasonable price + shipping if you're interested.

The article does say it takes five minutes to create a new story and picture. I assume most of that time is spent generating the picture. Still pretty impressive, but nowhere near the few seconds you can get with fast hardware.

Yeah, I switched to Mint back in 2019 and can't imagine going back. I have a Windows dual boot for certain games, but whenever I use it it feels like such a terrible experience compared to Linux. I don't think I've used it in a couple months because of that lol.
