I was curious, so I did the math:

It’s $5M/mo to rent 1 PB of RAM on EC2 and $21,000/mo per PB in S3.

Conceivably, your dreams will be possible in a decade — they are feasible, but likely too costly now.

That, or I get way better at mathematics. At this rate, I think Moore's law will win. Apparently TSMC is mass-producing 5nm chips and they're building their 3nm fab...

As someone who also works on physics models in their spare time — the computational hurdles are real.

Best of luck!
