This discussion has never been about whether the aggregate amount of computer memory in the world is a fixed quantity. (At least, that's not what I meant to discuss, or how I think most people would interpret my claim.) It's about the impact on real people who have laptops with fixed amounts of memory in their hands today.
- TameAntelope 5y agoThe impact on real people who have laptops is low because the aggregate amount of computer memory in the world is doubling every two years. It doubled, people bought new laptops, and reaped those benefits by running multiple Electron apps seamlessly on those new laptops. So it remains a false statement to say, "Memory is a precious resource."
