Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need

1,599,575 Views ā€¢ Apr 9, 2022 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
In this video we make and evaluate several hard drives that we didn't want. Drawing some inspiration from vexing current events, we find that creative, structured thought on adjacent (but frivolous) problems is a sort of digestive act, and one that is ultimately laxative.

Paper, source code, ringtones (and for a limited time, the data and viewer from pinging the whole internet): tom7.org/harder

Errata (thanks to all pedantic viewers who catch this stuff):
- I got the escape velocity off by a factor of 1000! It's 11 km/sec, not 11,000 km/sec. I think the other calculations are correct; I just mistook a period for a comma in my bleary-eyed late-night editing.
- I got the size of the genome wrong due to a very silly bug from bleary-eyed late-night programming. It is 29903 base pairs, which can be stored in an economy-sized 7476 bytes.

I canā€™t believe it. This man did it. He downloaded more RAM.

ā€œTetris is a an inventory management survival horror gameā€ is one of the best jokes I have heard this year.

You know, a chainsaw could either be turned on or off, much like a bit, 1 or 0. So if you become a machine that would both catch chainsaws and launch them into orbit at a steady rate, as well as determine if each chainsaw is on or off, and has the capability to turn the chainsaws on or off itself, then you could in theory build an orbital chainsaw drive capable of storing and retrieving data, right?

"Why not ping the whole internet? So I did." Absolute madman!

opening this video with a story about juggling arbitrarily many chainsaws is so good. immediately hooked

For some reason, the idea of storing data in active network transmissions makes me feel an uncomfortable sense of panic in the same way standing against the window on the top floor of a skyscraper does. It's that sort of "I know it's safe, the chance of failure is extremely minimal, but there's no way in hell I'm risking it" sensation.

24:52 > bandits dont have access to the data I could only imagine the horror a potential hackerman would experience if they discovered that the secret data they are looking for is stored in this mind-boggling fashion

I love that we go from a dude juggling 1.2 trillion chainsaws in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, to, "We can now look at the entire internet" in like 4 minutes

The ultimate hard drive is the equations that govern the universe. If you want to know what your data was at any given time, you just play the simulation back up to that point and have a look.

58 seconds in. I never want this ride to end. Better than 99 percent of entire videos so far.

1:19 (Expanding brain meme) (1) Ignoring air resistance because it is negligible (2) Ignoring air resistance because it takes away from the point of a lesson (3) Ignoring air resistance because chainsaws cut through air like butter

This entire video felt like, "okay bear with me." and I loved it. That map of the internet was so pretty.

Could you imagine being a network security researcher comming across his pings on their network, and reading the packet data and just being confused šŸ˜†

I found myself suddenly aware that I need to expand my friend pool when I could not think of any one I could share this video with who would properly appreciate it.

1:00 As hilarious as it is to imagine a chainsaw going 11,000km/s, the escape velocity of Earth is actually just ~11km/s.

At 8:00, be fully aware - some people have their ISP (gateway) "node" set to ignore/"block" to ICMP/echo requests; this is why these maps are always incomplete.

this is my favorite video on the internet, in the 10 months since it released I have returned to it many times, I have downloaded it on the off chance that an apocalyptic event wipes out the internet but not the power grid, I have recommended it at least once to every friend I have both real and digital, and every time I purchase a new screen, I use this video to calibrate color accuracy and contrast. I truly thank you for this
