In a LSD trip someone could wonder if our simulation has no idea what the next evolutionary step is.

You would not benefit from it you would loose money

But how much energy is used percentage wise for mining?

That's what I'm wondering. It costs energy to move electrons

I'm very curious how that can be better then an electrical heater.

It has to be more inefficient as you are not spending energy on calculation but if you substitute it with selling your bitcoins you would need to compensate your co2

I'm lost on your comment.

What specific problem die you see?

It's much cheaper and easier to pay and use NVM than ram. You get best latency for databases across your data.

The prices are already super cheap.

I also not find it easier to buy a lot of small devices instead of one. Your NVM is doing the same thing you do but directly on the controller

Check out the latency difference between sata and NVM.

And yes CPU is idling often enough. Good thing if they have a little bit more io overhead but when you look at PS5 and Xbox, Sony solved this issue and Microsoft is bringing their new storage API to PC.
