What went wrong?
Why didn't we progress?
>>
>>109959172
The aliens stopped giving us more of their tech.

still waiting for a 2tb sd card for my phone

I don't understand the question.

>>109959172
Diminishing returns, tech peaked in 2012.

the fuck is that finger in the last image

we hit the physical limit
i think. if not, maybe the commercial/financial limit

Moore's law you goofy goof.

>What went wrong?

Those questions imply that picrel didn't actually happened. A cool progression would have been
>2004 = 128 MB
>2014 = 128 GB
>2024 = 128 TB
But as we know, that didn't happen since 2024 is more like 1-2 TB. In that sense, the question is why the cool progression didn't happen

>there's no lower limits on silicon dies
cool

There are 2^73 atoms in a microsd card.
Using one atom for one bit, we divide by 8 to get 2^70 bytes of theoretical maximum capacity.
A lot of microsd volume is just plastic casing, so we say 2^60 is the physical maximum
1TB is 2^40, so this is one million terrabytes or one thousand petabytes.

Aliens are a psyop to make us more hospitable to demons

What’s up with all these kids rolling in acting like technology has made no progress? OP clearly wasn’t around or using tech in 2014 because progress since then is astounding.
>>
>>109959598
>Using one atom for one bit
now there's your reasoning error. quantum effects say suck a dick
>>
>>109959503
>2024 is more like 1-2 TB
That's still a big increase, its amazing you can even fit a GB on your thumb.
>>109959598
>1TB is 2^40, so this is one million terrabytes or one thousand petabytes.
There are probably different more complex ways to store information on atoms so maybe 10 million terrabytes, 10,000 terrabytes is probably pushing the practical limit where it becomes economically expensive for little gain in the current technological progress
>>
>>109959633
The technology is amazing but the implementation is so dogshit it actually reverses the progress in many cases, which is why people complain about it thinking it has to do with the hard numbers when the problem is really in design and systems
>>
>>109959640
Actually, not the case. You can store on a DNA and you get about the same density since DNA is so dense.
One exabyte per cubic cm

>>109959172
Why do the photos get significantly worse each time

>>109959707
>One exabyte per cubic cm
a sdcard legth/width silicon die is about 12mm length and 6mm width, so 72mm^2, which is less than the cross section of a 1cm cube (100mm^2)
but, even if they were equal, the thickness of a sdcard silicon die is around 0.5mm thick. you can see where this is going but let's unpack it some more.

so, in a 1cm^3 cube, we could fit 10mm/0.5mm dies, so 20. largest sdcards that have been anounced and will soon hit the market are 4TB. which makes around 80TB per 1cm^3 as storage. basically an order of magnitude lower, not that far away. and you don't need insanely expensive biolab gear to read/write on it. you can just plop it into your mobile phone.
even that DNA thing, you'd have retarded low read speeds, with some specialized billions of dollars lab gear. let alone writing (assembling the strand)
they really are at the lower limits for storage.

would you fuck an alien? i'd fuck an alien, if they were like hot I guess

progress since 2014 has been fuck all, I was using 1440p back then and everyone is still using it now, GPUs are barely much better, and now waste half the die on rt and ai shit

cpus have more cores but clocks are stagnant as fuck, big whoop. my 2015 macbook pro with a 370x plays minecraft with my friends just fine, handled server hosting, does all my dev work, ect.

we had one moment in 2020 where it looked like tech was gonna keep progressing, 6 years later and intel is shipping defective cpus, and ones with straight up instructions and threads disabled, nvidia gpus cost as much as a car and come with self destructing power connectors, and AMD is too busy sucking government contracts to ever ship consumer chips

Anon, there is no such a thing as space aliens.
They are literal demons, or more accurately heavily inbreed and mutated humans, descendants of the oligarchs of previous iterations of human civilizations that were wiped out. The only preserve few vehicles, tools and devices of their ruined civilization that they don't truly understand, just like a vibe coder doesn't understand shit about programming.

why does the red circle have a shadow
it boils the piss in my nuts

are these quantum effects in the room with us right now
