DNA storage finally reaches mainstream (well, sort of) but it will cost you a whopping $1000 per KB (yes, kilobyte) – TechRadar
DNA storage is finally within reach, with the promise of being able to store billions of terabytes of data in a tiny volume, for hundreds of years and at a minimal cost. In a tantalizing breakthrough, French firm Biomemory has rolled out credit-card-sized storage devices that can store one kilobyte of data each on DNA. For $1,000, you get two identical Biomemory cards; yes, they are very expensive - the first commercially available hard drive (IBM 350-1) retailed for $34,500 for 3.75MB - and slow; but this is primarily a proof of concept.
HPE goes all-in for AI with new hybrid cloud compute, storage products – Network World
At its annual HPE Discover event in Barcelona Thursday, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) unveiled a range of new and enhanced hybrid cloud products -- including storage, development tools, and rack-scale hardware co-engineered with Nvidia -- aimed at easing the development and deployment of generative AI systems for enterprises. "We think the next decade is going to require full stack thinking from hardware all the way up through the software layers, as organizations lean into the deployment of AI applications," Evan Sparks, HPE's vice president and general manager for AI Solutions and Supercomputing Cloud told a news conference. "These applications are extremely computationally intensive
Amazon S3 storage picks up speed at re:Invent 2023 – TechTarget
The glut of generative AI products at AWS can only work if customers are sitting on a trove of usable data, leading the public cloud provider to introduce new storage services it sees as vital to AI training. At AWS re:Invent 2023 this week, AWS expanded its cloud storage offerings with almost a dozen new object, file and block services. File storage in the AWS cloud gained the majority of these services, including additions to the AWS native version of NetApp's data platform, OnTap

‘Wobbly spacetime’ is latest stab at unifying physics – The Register
Since the early 20th century, physicists have struggled to marry theories governing the very big with those for the very small. Despite the staggering achievements in modern science, the conflict between Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics has become a stumbling block in developing a consistent, reliable theory explaining everything.
Physicists May Have Found a Hard Limit on The Performance of Large Quantum Computers – ScienceAlert
A newly discovered trade-off in the way time-keeping devices operate on a fundamental level could set a hard limit on the performance of large-scale quantum computers, according to researchers from the Vienna University of Technology. While the issue isn't exactly pressing, our ability to grow systems based on quantum operations from backroom prototypes into practical number-crunching behemoths will depend on how well we can reliably dissect the days into ever finer portions.
