what's stopping anyone from just making a ram alternative that doesn't use depend on chips or memory
>>108364585>this is your brain on ESL
Because we'll still need two more weeks for magic.
>>108364627What's ESL?
so you're saying we should go back to gas tubes instead of electronics

>>108364679Hey, the glow of tubes is super cool.
>>108364679Think about it. There's so much gas everywhere. No more shortages, ever. It very elegantly solves a specific problem we're all facing.
>>108364737dammit, that's an AI gen, kekthis one isn't (I hope)
>>108364654Extremely Slow Lobe
>>108364751infinite gas. finite tubes.
>>108364585>a [random access memory] alternative that doesn't use depend on memoryHow high are you right now?
>>108364809NTA, I've had two big gulps of polish vodka. Feeling good, I just wish it didn't taste like chalk.
>>108364679>>108364801>>108364751Fuck that gas and silicon shit.It's all woke and weak.MERCURY DELAY LINE MEMORY.
>>108364585This entirely misunderstands the reason for the current memory shortage. If there was a new technology for very fast solid state storage, because that's all ram is, the AI companies would just buy that up too. That's even disregarding the fact that the primary limiting factor is production capacity, not the technology in use. I would be far more efficient to create more fabs for the current volatile storage tech. The reasons that hasn't immediately happened are that it takes significant time and money to build more production. Fabs also have to contend with uncertainty about current demand. If they build out a bunch of new production capacity, and the bubble bursts they're not going to get the ROI they, and more importantly their shareholders, want.Just for shits and giggles there are older technologies like magnetic core and triode base memory, but we don't use them since the speed and data density are shit. Think less than 1kb in the space your entire computer takes up.
>>108364654>What's ESL?People who used be coated in jam to destract insects.
>>108364825Nice. I'm opening some armagnac tonight.
>>108364835I just fed your first two lines into Google's AI, and even it recognized how retarded you were.>solid state storage is ram
>>108364869I'm confused anon, what do you think ram does? It stores data, and there are no moving parts. Sure it's volatile storage, but I feel like you have no clue how any of this works if you disagree with the incredibly vague description of solid state storage. If you wanted a replacement, the volatility is not a feature, it's just a consequence of the other factors that are required, speed, capacity, wear resistance, and cost with our current tech.
>>108364917Oh, I dunno. Just the fact that one holds data beyond a power cycle.
>>108364927Anon, I don't think I can dumb this down to your level, especially if you're asking AI everything. Maybe read a bit more about the technology behind this stuff. Hell, it wasn't that long ago that we were using magetic-core memory for our primary storage/main memory. That's a non-volatile technology that persists without power. It's just that the technology that give us the best current balance of speed, capacity, wear resistance, and cost is MOS transistors and caps. Those caps can't hold a charge for very long, which makes them volatile.
>>108364585like core memory or a drum or what?
>>108364990Just go be a retard somewhere else.
Drum RAM

>>108364654Brown skin usually
before CPUs use RAM, they depend on cache physically attached to the CPU which also happens to be a lot fasterwhy not just make those larger?
>>1083653051. Because CPU caches use SRAM instead of DRAM2. Because DRAM is slower, but much denser than SRAM.3. They have, but Moore's Law is dead.
>>108364826>ultrasonic impulses>circulating mercury>quartz transducers>computeYup, who ever made this is my new hero, thanks anon
