Soldered RAM being bad is an opinion, not a fact.
I’ve seen way too many RAM slots go bad.
Smart people always get the highest configuration in computers, unless they know they’ll never need some of the resources and can tolerate a lower option.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2mo ago> Smart people always get the highest configuration in computers Smart rich people, maybe. Have you got the money for extra RAM right now?
- trvz 2mo agoIt's implied. Truly smart people manage to become affluent.
- defrost 2mo agoThe legendary wealth of Paul Erdős was indeed largely of legend alone.
- farfatched 2mo agoWe've all what a terrible job LLMs do in some problems. But they are doing well at burning down Erdos's list of problems. Perhaps mathematicians aren't a good measure of "truly smart".
- defrost 2mo agoIf you're seriously taking that angle on comparison .. how well are they doing on generating interesting and challenging Erdős like problems?
- farfatched 2mo agoOh, not that seriously, but it makes me wonder!

- something98 2mo agoWhy do you assume “truly smart people” care about affluence at all?
- project2501a 2mo agoNot everyone lives in SanFra, my man, and can afford to throw a salary on a lab.
- bpye 2mo agoYou've seen RAM slots go bad? DIMMs can also fail! I'd much rather replace a bad stick than a whole motherboard/device.
- evere 2mo agoFor real. Reballing a chip is hard!

So if I'm buying a server and it's available with anything between 8GB and 4TB of RAM (the price difference being ~$70,000), and my current use only requires 8GB, how much should I get? There is a 50% chance the project fails and I never need more than 8GB and a 50% chance it succeeds and then I'll need 64GB or 512GB or 4TB depending on how well it goes.
