You know we're going to lose contact with V1 this decade, and as of last year the data stopped making sense? Which tied into my criticism of your other comment, we're getting close (in the grand scheme) to how small we can make a transistor so we just make clusters of electron based compute models each running its own resources or do we invest in finding a better more efficient way?

Yes, I'm aware. ~50 years is a little over ~438,000 hours of service time, with no ability to even perform physical hands on maintenance.

How is a pathetic one hour memory of any sort somehow progress? By the time it cures cancer or whatever, the data is still that much more likely to be corrupt by the time they check it and try to save it.
