The idea of buffering data by transmitting it somewhere far, bouncing it off a moon or whatnot, and using that distance of radio waves as your memory is my favourite thing ever.
Used to be a common thing for storing analog signals in the past :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-line_memory

Oof. Some things aren’t purely informational. You can’t summarize experiencing Harder Drive, you can only get a description of what happens in it. Actually watching Harder Drive actually is the point. You spend 30 minutes (lol I wish it was 40) watching something fun/funny and feel good while you’re doing it.
So it's entertainment? Alright.

Unfortunately no. With a short attention span, you will just have to miss out on what makes his videos awesome. For this type of thing, making it accessible for you would ruin the magic.
So I sat down and watched the entire thing. I didn't find it awesome or magical. Just annoyed that he stretched a concept that could be explained in 60 to 120 seconds into a whole lot of unentertaining, onanistic nonsense.
It's okay to express dislike for something for a reason as much as it is to express like for something for a reason, people.
I've never watched one of this guy's videos before either and whilst I appreciate the time that went into it, it's too roundabout for me compared to someone like Breaking Taps (https://www.youtube.com/@BreakingTaps/videos). And that is a perfectly valid criticism, as is all the others here. We should encourage discourse.

Unfortunately due to free-space path loss limiting the Shannon-Hartley channel capacity, the total amount of information storable using this method asymptotically approaches zero for large distances. For reference, the combined formulas are C=d×B×log_2(1+(Dc÷4πdf)²×S÷N)÷c. And lim->∞ d×ln(1+1÷d²) unfortunately = 0. (Curiously, attempting to store more information by increasing bandwidth -- and thus center frequency -…
One of the things preventing us from seeing dinosaur images reflected back to us from the objects at 33Mly+
Yes, things spread over distance. However, building quintillions of tiny sensors and spewing them across immense distances, and using it as a spread-array sensor net would enable capture that might otherwise elude us.
This is why I don't like "prevent" as a term here, even though I 100% get your reason for using it. 300 years ago, some might have cited innumerable reasons why the distance to the moon "prevents" us from ever getting there! After all, it would take a ship+sail centuries to cross the void, everyone would be dead!

Loads of people are being criticised for criticising the video, by people here who are clearly fans of the guy's style of content. It's okay to express dislike for something for a reason as much as it is to express like for something for a reason, people.
