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

@theblackvault - Should we censor the question marks?
- Nah, leave them.

Imagine the conversations within NASA when they re-released this document to me. Part of that process was a serious discussion about unredacting numerous question marks and the word "When?".
Ahhh to be a fly on the wall...🤣

Brókers donde hacer un trackrecord que se reconozca, que pueda empezar con 1000 euros comprando acciones en corto y largo. Máx 15 operaciones por semana que no me crujan a comisiones. Ideas?

For my friends who are still using UV and might be a little weary about recent compromises to PyPi packages, stick this in your pyproject.toml.
You can let all of those pip users find and report the compromises...

The failure to optimize resources is one of the tragedies of this world
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Microsoft announced plans to lower the baseline memory footprint of Windows 11. They want to reduce idle RAM usage by optimizing the operating system itself. On a clean Windows 11 25H2 install, the OS typically uses around 3.3 GB at idle. Real-world usage often climbs to 6 GB or more on 8 GB systems and over 10 GB on 16 GB systems due to background processes and features.

NASA is building SR-1 Freedom, a nuclear electric propulsion spacecraft, launching to Mars in 2028.
We are proud to announce this during the 250th year of the United States, the mission’s name reflects the spirit of American innovation and exploration.
This mission will bring America’s nuclear power capabilities to space and deliver the Skyfall payload of Ingenuity class helicopters to explore the Red Planet.
Nuclear power and propulsion will be the key to undertaking crewed missions to Mars and exploring the outer solar system.
Space Reactor-1 (SR-1) Freedom will make the next giant leap and accomplish a key component of President Trump’s National Space Policy, bringing nuclear to space alongside @Energy.

NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives. With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars. In collaboration with @Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond. A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀

The death of inbound applications is upon us: and yes, it’s in a big part because of AI making it dead simple to apply. And so inbound applications become noisy, with increasingly more of non-qualified people. And so companies rely on referrals and recruiters to source instead.

Hola @movistar_es , @LaLiga y @Tebasjavier, es lunes por la mañana y seguís bloqueando medio internet.
Me está resultando imposible trabajar, podéis por favor dejar de intentar convertir España en China o Corea del Norte?
Gracias!

The Astral playbook is clear: find a widely-used, slow ecosystem tool → rewrite in Rust → 100x performance → massive adoption.
The same pattern is waiting to happen in database tooling. SQL linters, migration engines, query analyzers — all still running on Java/Python stacks from 2015.
Who builds the Ruff for SQL?
