I don't see how this thing is any more or less on that path though

It's to bust the pet bubble, neither cats and dogs were any useful, especially if you had disabilities...

I told this to my mom and she asked what assembly was. When I told her, she asked if it was the "morse code of programming" and I think that's the best description of assembly that's ever been proposed.

Cool to see Boston Dynamics is making stuff that might eventually be useful for the average person. I see the potential for nightmare fuel. |

If assembly is the morse code of programming, what would the interpretive dance of programming be? |

again ....
Not sure how practical it is really, light is directional and you need a clear path
At the same time the bandwidth is phenomenal and makes up for it
I don't know what the intended audience is for this video, but to say that one thing uses light and one thing uses radio is not very scientific. Radio is light. They mean their thing uses visible light. Also, I find it difficult to believe that they can modulate the brightness of an LED faster than one can modulate a radio frequency. It just doesn't add up. How is this technology different than the IR signal that a TV remote uses? Additionally, some brief research tells me that LED fiber optics only reach speeds of up to 100 Mbits, as opposed to a Gbit for wifi, so I don't see how these guys are gonna improve the speed while at the same time switching enough power to have LEDs bright enough to overcome the ambient interference caused by other light sources in the room. Additionally again also also, they mention people not being able to steal your signal, do they not password protect their wifi networks? I'm calling this technology bunk. That's right, bunk. |

Storage device writes information atom-by-atom[...] Dutch scientists developed rewritable memory that stores information in the positions of individual chlorine atoms on a copper surface.
The information storage density is two to three orders of magnitude beyond current hard disk or flash technology. [...]
"In theory, this storage density would allow all books ever created by humans to be written on a single post stamp," said Dr Otte.
Or, by another measure, the entire contents of the US Library of Congress could be stored in a 0.1mm-wide cube. [...]

Is it durable? the current problem of storage is fast decay ...
Also what are the seek times, writing failure rates and what are the mass production cost :D

Is it durable? the current problem of storage is fast decay ... Kind of: [...] the team at TU Delft believe their method is much more stable than methods using loose atoms - and more suitable for practical data storage applications. [...] Also what are the seek times, writing failure rates and what are the mass production cost :D
Write/read is super slow: [...] the speed of single write and read processes is still slow - on the scale of minutes. [...] And on top of that you'll need a fridge to make this magic work: [...] However, despite its future promise, the approach is not ready for the real world just yet. Stable information storage could only be demonstrated at a temperature of 77 Kelvin (-196C) [...] But: [...] "It is important to recognise the significance of this accomplishment — a functioning high density atomic-scale memory device that will, at the very least, stimulate our imaginations towards the next such milestone."

Explaining to a highly skilled machinist what it means when code is commented out on a CNC program using an increasingly specific set of metaphors that eventually become meaningless until it suddenly clicks only to be met with
"Ohhhkay I get it now. That's bullshit."

Researchers have built the first quantum computer that can not only be programmed, but, just like a regular computer, can actually be reprogrammed, too.
This latest device is only made from five atoms, but it's a huge step towards building scalable, functioning quantum computers that could change the way we process data forever. Source |
