Data's Design

  • A series of TNG clips that show how Data's built, how he functions, etc. with, of course, a bit humor thrown in. I might have gotten carried away with it and made it a little long. But, if you're a Data fan, hopefully you'll like it.
    I am in no way affiliated with the Star Trek franchise. I'm just a fan. This video was created for entertainment.

    I've always loved the scenes with Bashir and Data. So many Starfleet people that interacted with Data focused on his machine nature and how "other" he was, but Bashir is utterly fascinated with how *human* Data is and it's great to watch.

    • @treschlet
      @treschlet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      The more you think about it the more it makes sense. You get sensory inputs, you become familiar with them, then you anticipate them. Being able to anticipate them makes your life easier, because less processing is required to do the same task, or to exchange ideas. Then when they are gone, those anticipations misfire. You anticipate something that is not there, which means you are now applying mental energy on something that doesn't exists, which is both wasteful and draws your attention to the fact that you now must go back to doing more work to interact with different people who you are less familiar with. If you are built to constantly find more efficient ways to go about your life (and humans certainly are) this just comes across as a negative outcome. Depending on how your circuits work, that negative outcome might feel like a personal failure, or an offensive force from the outside world. When a friend isn't present, Data might literally feel like he did something wrong, or that he has been attacked or otherwise prevented from succeeding in his task. Analytically he probably knows that he did something wrong, but must still deal with the cognative dissonance of having done nothing wrong, knowing no one else did anything wrong, and feeling both hurt, and like a failure. How is that any different than what we feel?

      Obsidiron Pumicia, actually it does. Look at hot air balloons. Although I'm no where near an aeronautical engineer, I do know that when I flight aircraft wings are designed for air to flow over and under which allows not only lift in the aircraft, but also, the wings being the least sturdy of the body their design also allows the air to lift the wings giving added support so as to not have them rip away from the body. Like I said I'm no engineer. How ever I did serve in the Air Force and was around quite a few aircraft and was able to speak with many if the pilots. But air can be used for structural support.

      @@George040270 Star trek TNG was shot on 35mm film when digital cameras were not a thing and tape recorded shows really lacked definition, as such the film shot shows can be re-scanned at higher resolutions than even intended for telivision and you can see some details the original creaters never knew would be possible. It's why you don't see reruns of shows like home improvement or saved by the bell. Unfortunately it also meant that it was MUCH more expensive to burn film in multiple tapes as film is extrodinarily expensive not just to shoot, but develop and process so shows like star trek had to work with what they got. Johonothan frakes got the nickname in his directing history of the show as "two takes frakes". A LOT of great performances were lost over the years because actors would practice a scene on set a few times well before the cameras ever started to roll in that era.

Like many other shows that aimed to show off future technology, by the time the actual date the show was set at comes along it will seem quaint and antiquated. Sci-fi writers have a tendency to severely underestimate technological progress.

      Besides which, quantum computing will make the entire idea of memory limitation obsolete. The capacity of the human brain may be functionally infinite if Penrose's quantum brain hypothesis turns out to be correct, since multiple palimpsests of data can be stored on top of each other in a single probability wave. An electronic qubit will play the same role as the proteins lining the microtubules in the neurons of the brain, storing data as a standing wave in a state of quantum superposition.

His computational speed is more modest by comparison. He can push 60 TerraFLOPs which is weaker than, for example, an AMD Ryzen 3600, which is rated at 91 TFLOPs.

    I do appreciate how, in one of the clips, Riker just trusts Data when he says he can take the fall. He may have his doubts, but he trusts his crew.
    Also, 8 quadrillion bits is 100 Petabytes, which is roughly 40x the capacity of the human brain, to the extent of which that can be measured. Certainly not out of the realm of biological possibility and not the slam dunk Riker thought it was (although, there might be an element of plausible deniability for helping Data's case there; they were, after all, friends).
