@somewheresy If one of my employees replaced my wife with whatever this nerd shit is he would be fired. Out of a cannon.

@AgingAnarchist You bet your ass I’ll pick you up from the airport. In a 100 series Land Cruiser. And I have plenty of guest bedrooms if you want to bring a couple friends.

The reason software eats RAM is the same reason factories used to dump chemicals in rivers. The cost is externalized.
Every mass of inference compute shows up on an engineering manager's AWS bill, broken down to the cent, reviewed quarterly. Every mass of RAM consumed on YOUR machine shows up nowhere in anyone's budget. Chrome could cut memory usage by 60% tomorrow and Google's revenue wouldn't move a single basis point.
Docker's 2GB idle footprint costs Docker Inc. exactly $0. Electron's 500MB todo list costs the Electron team exactly $0. The user paid for the RAM. The user pays the electricity. The user deals with the fan noise. The company ships faster because they chose the laziest possible runtime.
The token-optimization obsession makes this even clearer. Companies optimize inference cost because inference cost hits their margins. They'll spend six months shaving 200ms off a model response. They won't spend six days reducing a desktop client's memory footprint because that memory belongs to someone else's hardware.
This is why the 16GB vs 32GB debate is a trap. You're asking consumers to buy more expensive hardware to subsidize the software industry's refusal to optimize for a resource they never have to pay for.
The market will never fix this on its own. The people writing the checks and the people running out of RAM are on opposite sides of the transaction.

unpopular opinion: 16GB is plenty if software engineers actually cared about memory efficiency. chrome eating 4GB for 12 tabs is not a hardware problem its a software disgrace. docker consuming 2GB idle is not a feature its laziness. we live in an era where people optimize every single token to save $0.001 on API costs but happily ship electron apps that eat 500MB to display a todo list. if the industry treated RAM the way we treat inference compute - obsessively measuring every byte - 16GB would feel luxurious. the hardware isnt the problem, the software is @adxtyahq

“The weapon that has done the most for the conquest of Europe, for its colonization by Africa, for its Islamization, for the destruction of Europeans in Europe, for genocide by substitution, more than family reunification, more than widespread nocence, more than the migratory submersion itself, is the accusation of racism. It has paralyzed three hundred million people and made them accept the unacceptable, the worst that could happen to them: their own annihilation, their erasure as a civilization.”
