Fuck me, I don’t need DNA prices to spike too ;-;
Wikipedia is stored in the balls now.
Gives a whole new meaning to "data leak"
Along with the pee? Something's gotta go.
Something to bear in mind is that this is EXTREMELY slow. It's not practical right now and may never be practical.
Imagine Androids having synthetic balls :)
Finally their brains are down there, too!
What could possibly go wrong.
Next to nothing? It's DNA. You have DNA and RNA lying around everywhere on the planet. On every square fucking mil or micrometre. The only thing that can go wrong, so to say, is microbial degradation of DNA.
What DNA currently out there is dynamically rewritable
All of it? That's pretty much what viruses do to whatever they manage to infect.
So a virus can rewrite a cat in to a dog or a giraffe? You're talking small changes over a long time. A 400TB drive that you can only change 800KB every century or so would be useless.
...no?
I said the mechanism exists. Dna is rewritable by it's very nature-which is what you had issue with: the DNA, not the the thing doing the writing.
At no point did I imply that there's something rewriting entire genomes.
OK buddy. I don't think you're being genuine here so I'm just going to block and move on.
And I don't think you can read very well.
It sounds like you are pulling ideas out of your ass then getting angry about them.
Better block everyone else on Lemmy, too.
You at the least for sure.
Block your mom for all I care.
Cool, but how long does the data keep? DNA is rather fragile, only the most stable bio-compatible storage. Which is why it needs to be repaired now and then.
That's why you have millions of copies stored.
Yes, but this storage here too?
Nobody asked the real question? Why especially do they need to store data on DNA?
Human being wrote the data onto rocks, ceramics, papirus, paper, cd, harddisk... But what has happened? why now DNA? Is it the part of a transhuman project (evulotion circle : genesis - humanism - posthumanism - transhumanism)? Do we need to combine machines with organic parts?
Looking at the investments made in computer technology(ai, cloud etc.) , electronics(microchip industry, REEs etc. ), and biology(genom projects) over the last 40 years, I see that someone desperately wants transhumanism.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
