Are ferroelectric diodes more sensitive to external tampering than a “typical” memory circuit? As in, could a device like this be more easily “jammed” by a strong external electromagnetic source? That’s where my head went when reading about this circuit, but maybe it’s no less sensitive than “typical” circuitry?

Compute-in-memory can increase computation performance by many orders of magnitude.

The fact that most people just immediately try to find ways that these advancements can't work rather than trying to actually make them work is the reason that these things take so long to go from research to product.

And it's also an example of the type of weak cognition that will mean un-augmented humans will be irrelevant within the next quarter century.

Isn't identifying flaws an important part of getting things to work?

Cybernetics isn't even close to bringing any decent advantage to a healthy human physiology over the next 25 years wtf

Possibly? But the solution would be to put a Faraday cage around the memory. Something that effectively already happens when you have a heat sink on your memory. But further, you also have steal case surrounding your memory that helps there.

Although high permeability materials can route field lines around things to a certain extent, you can't get the kind of total magnetic shielding you'd want to say, protect a floppy disk from a strong magnet, without superconductors.

A metal case is not an obstruction for a static magnetic field.
