Some research has actually been done that states that 24 fps might actually be harmful to us.

Actually the problem is reliability, and only because of flash memory's construction. Other NVRAM technologies are available that are faster, more robust, and will be cheaper in the future (the length of time before that happens is a function of how willing the market is to accept them). MRAM, for example, literally is a hard drive with no moving parts. Instead, the material that normally makes a hard drive platter, is packed in a chip.

Technically the various neurons in the retina, CNS and PNS have chemical mechanisms that hard limit the amount of times they can fire, or in the case of the receptor cells themselves, how continuously they can stop their inhibition of their respective bipolar cells.

For example their is an absolutely inviolable refractory period within the axons of ALL neurons to do with their ability to restore the natural ionic balance within the fiber. Pottasium and sodium mainly. Additionally, there is a period of reduced receptiveness given unfavorable ionic composition within the axon post action potential, but this is not absolute.

Furthermore, the chemical necessary for the transduction of light into nervous information demands a chemical that is intentionally depleted and then restored. Rhodopsin? I'm not sure it's been a while since I took human A&P.

The visual sense is not perfect, instantaneous, nor continuous.

unaware of the demigod that is Markov

>In 1866, Andrey Andreyevich's school life began with his entrance into St. Petersburg's fifth grammar school. Already during his school time Andrey was intensely engaged in higher mathematics. As a 17-year-old grammar school student, he informed Viktor Bunyakovsky, Aleksandr Korkin, and Yegor Ivanovich Zolotarev about an apparently new method to solve linear ordinary differential equations, and he was invited to the so-called Korkin Saturdays, where Korkin's students regularly met. In 1874, he finished the school and began his studies at the physico-mathematical department of St. Petersburg University.

That's Markov. He did that. You just misunderstand consumer technology and play video games. How about you get your shit together?

the access speed is faster because of the parallel bus, it is transferred to the cache faster, thus gets from medium to cache to memory faster
>implying an electrical integrated circuit is slower than reading a magnetic charge from a physical medium that must be in the precise location for the read to take place

But viewing real objects is only limited by how fast light can travel.
Infinity refresh -> eyes -> smooth image
Monitors and the like are capped at their respective refresh rate.
60fps -> eyes -> choppy image

>But viewing real objects is only limited by how fast light can travel.
It's actually limited my the mechanical action of ion gates within neurons' soma and axons, and, of course, the processing power of the brain.

And, because visual perception and comprehension is patently multi-axonal, we're limited by the even slower process of chemical synapse and graded potential action.

Obviously outside the human system it's limited by the speed of light through the given medium, but that isn't what we're adressing.

HDDs do have multiple heads, they just have a single arm.

I suppose a reasonable question would be why don't they have more heads along the arm which could allow them to seek the nearest head to the target track faster, but it would also be quite a bit more complex to program.
>>
>>52222533
because why do that when solid state exists?

that's not solving (read eliminating) the problem, it's only making a really complicated patch

People give perma-virgins shit but you know what? This is worse. Even if his target was actually female and he ended up getting sex it's still worse.

If you want sex that badly you can just hire a whore.

Are they western digital shills? Seagate has SSDs and does well in the enterprise market. Samsung does very well with their SSDs on the consumer end and are really breaking into the enterprise market thanks to the nerds who work at these places using their SSDs at home.

So, what is WD doing? I think we're looking at.

I've never seen an SSD rated at petabytes.

>>52223007
If Enterprise SAS HDDs can get into hundreds of TBs of writes per year (notice they didn't specificy a time period) then why not SSDs?

Actually one thing brought up is that many small writes to files could cause much larger NAND writes than Host and one thing that worried me was things that would stuff themselves into your appdata directory without your say in the matter, like Firefox.

I just decided to set up a couple of symlinks so that Firefox profile shit will piss off to my HDD instead, I will see if my NAND writes keep increasing at the same rate.

It's still a concern, though, that you have to manage applications to prevent overwriting to the drive.
