They can through DNA sequencing but that’s a whole lot of work compared to nearly every other physical storage format. DNA storage has it’s niche but economically archival tapes are still better imo
Imagine the data is stored in some cloned blob organism with one wire that sticks out of it but doesn’t plug into anything and you have to feed your computer blob a solution from a spray bottle on a schedule so your vacation photos don’t corrupt and it gets old and grows hairs but not like all over
I don't even know if we can find cassette's these days. I have seen cd's in old and record stores but not cassette. My 2007 Lexus still has the cassette outlet.
You’d then be surprised to know that cassettes are having a small renaissance moment, with more sold in the last few years than even in the early 2000s.
Internet-driven for sure, though, so you just gotta search.
It’s the latest “record album collection,” which saw its own resurgence, so it makes sense these came next. Time to early invest in CD-stamping houses? Lol
Listen Buddy, if you give me something the size of a packet of cigarettes that can store 35 PETABYTES, I don't care if it's a Ball Of String I have to MANUALLY rewound into a ball after I do a backup.
In the demonstration, copying data to and from the tape took tens of minutes for a file only a few hundred kilobytes in size.
So sure, it looks good for long-term deep storage, but if you're using any of the data remotely regularly you're going to want a storage medium with just a touch less latency. :P
I don’t see this being used as a storage media, taking into account that microorganisms together with water will feed on the proteins there… It’s a cool experiment though.
Until recently, it was only Acid Jazz and Acid House, so this is a big step forward.
No Acid Rock? How basic.
No, but they strangely had the entire discography of Ace of Base.
Aces of bases*
Also, unfortunately, Genome Simmons' solo album.
Guess ill have to buy the white album again

And when your cassette player starts to eat it, you will spend the rest of your life winding it back together with a pencil.
Just not the Eagles, man!
Fuckin a man, i got a rash.

Would be great. They just haven’t found a way to play it yet.

It would more likely be in a small plastic tube in a -80C freezer
No I prefer the blob
The answer is within you!
Lossless?
Probably MP3 at a constant bitrate of 128kbps at 22kHz instead of 44.1kHz.
Considering the rate at which AI slop music is generated nowadays, I find that extremely unbelievable.
Surely it meant written by humans.

Thank You for that, will need to dig more online for best find!

Indexing is qn even bigger engineering hurdle for DNA data storage

THIRTY FIVE PETABYTES.
... also the cats can play with it. maybe.
From the article:

16/44.1 or 24/96?
25 or 6 to 4
Finally a way to have “Baby Got Back” last forever
I read years ago they found a way to increase cassette storage by like 100 times or something crazy.
So a cd of DNA is next?
We’ve planned this before when the aliens were coming to wipe us out.
Let me know when I can inject it and play it back
I was told we'd be able to store Hollerith cards in holograms, but we're still waiting. Thanks, 3M.
The wow and flutter of the double helix must sound insane.
I have to buy another media player?
Well, the years start comin'
and they don't stop comin'
and they don't stop comin'
and they don't stop comin'
Seek time is going to be a bitch!
36 motherfuckin' petabytes.
In what quality
Has a shuffle button or do I have to listen in chronological order?
And the shelf life isn't that great one would assume. A quick magnet and wiped.
good luck searching for your song
I don’t see this being used as a storage media, taking into account that microorganisms together with water will feed on the proteins there… It’s a cool experiment though.
Well through their tests they estimate that the DNA cassettes would stay stable and usable for up to three centuries.
……..Cure fucking cancer!!
Not every science is cancer research.
