I say it's worth while, it definitely shouldnt be used in place of the human element but rather when a situation comes up that there is a need for an additional tool for the Ref. to use to make a call this technology would be perfect for that. Secondly aside from validity of a play this also could be used further enhance playback analysis in the future and even further determine how superior the players are to your average joe.
Milibits? Good God man what storage scale is that, Kilo -> 1000, Mega -> 1000kilo, Giga -> 1000Mega, Tera -> 1000Giga .... Mili -> 1/100 bytes? Technically if you think of it 90milibytes is almost 1byte per second
If this is true it's simply amazing, more so not just for reading into dreams but rather to import images directly into the human mind once we know how the images are formed who knows. But something bothers me with the image above, if you look at the two n's they seem to be very very similar to each other more so than I'd imagine our 'analog' minds would produce instead I would have liked to see much more static and variations in the letters above.
Don't you mean 4.4BSD; MacOS X's kernel was built from 4.4BSD sources now rebranded as Darwin. Though honestly 4.4BSD shares it's ancestry to the original Unix version 7 as a 'Unix-like' operative system so I can see where one would call it 'Unix' but under that same mentality one could confuse that with Linux because it also is a 'Unix-Like' operating system. ;-)
Yes, you're correct on that at this point if the cache were to be used exclusively for writes only writing would be at most burstable up to a 64mb chunk, after which then it bottlenecks completely to the devices maximum write speed on continuous data stream and pull your hair out slow in situations of random writes.
If SATA were to have support direct memory access to attached devices, one would figure at that point that operating systems can take advantage of SSDs and start writing in a very intelligent way or at the very least have a FS that is completely journalized with a moving tree. Similar to how MTD devices are handled in Linux.
It makes you wonder if the increased cache of 64MB has reduced the write performance issues that plague most MLC SSDs (with exclusion to Intel's SSD which has an internal File system with controller designed to handle random writes more effectively).
Man an older PSP would be awesome, Random-a-tor please pick me so someone from a foreign country. ^_^
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
