2 years ago I stated that we should stop worrying about software consuming a lot of ram.
I had just built my pc with 128gb of ddr5 ram spending less than an average android phone (I think like $300).
I would like to retract that statement. Thanks.
- BLKNSLVR 2mo agoOn the flip side, high 5 for getting 128gb of RAM at exactly the right time!
- sponaugle 2mo agoThe pricing differential is just absurd now. I expanded the memory on my math clusters about 2 years ago so I would have 4 machines with 1.5TB of DDR4 memory each. Back then a 128GB DDR4 DIMM could be found for $150 used. Now those same DIMMs are $600-$800 used! I think the RAM in my homelab is worth more than all of the other hardware combined.
- hurfdurf 2mo agoI stated that we should stop worrying about [X] consuming [finite resource]. Why would you ever say something like this? When was that ever true?
- thiht 2mo agoIt's true when [finite resource] is indistinguishable from [infinite resource], meaning it's abundant, cheap, and can be used recklessly with no impact.
- mminer237 2mo agoAside from air, ocean water, sunlight, and a few types of rocks, I don't know if that's ever the case. Pretty much as soon as something is declared "free", people will consume so much more than you could have ever imagined.
- thiht 2mo agoI didn't say it was actually infinite, just that it felt infinite. When it feels infinite, people will abuse it, making it feel finite again the hard way
