Generative “AI” data centers are gobbling up trillions of dollars in capital, not to mention heating up the planet like a microwave. As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone. Multiple stores are tired of adjusting the prices day to day, and won’t even display them. You find out how much it costs at checkout.
Lol pricing computer parts like they do fish in an expensive restaurant.
What a time to be alive.
I usually download my warez RAM modules from ramgirl repacks
because we’re in an era where there always will be a gold rush for a specific component. upgrades have slowed down considerably in the past 10 years, my laptop is 4 years old and still kicks like the first day, I still game on my 8 year old laptop which is permanently attached to the TV and running as a steam machine with more than decent performance.
this wasn’t even thinkable in the 00’s
I’m pretty sure after hard disks, GPUs, rams the next shortage is either Arm CPUs or a specific future type of PSUs
Not better, it’s more of rules of punctuation and word order and such, in their normalized forms, being more fit for one use or another. At the expense of something.
Like those enormous sentences in German building up to unload like a cannon volley with one verb in the end. I also hate German capitalization. But it’s impressive how many floors an atom can have, so to say, in one literate German sentence. Perhaps their capitalization is too caused by necessity, I can’t bear trying to read Dutch, the eye has nothing to cling at.
Or in Russian there’s no strict word or sentence order, but playing with them one can give different flavors to whatever they are saying. Where you should use commas and where dashes (and sometimes semicolons), and where you can skip those and where you can’t, and whether you are giving a different intonation or meaning to your phrase or just making a mistake ; taken together - whether such a thing as “author’s individual punctuation” exists in Russian or not.
(All people actually writing well in Russian whom I know, BTW, make mistakes all the time by common rules and definitely have their own punctuation. And this is not much of a rebellion, they praise Zhukovsky - he made his own rules, they praise Pushkin - that punk not only made his own rules, he also used lots of Church Slavic not knowing the difference between that and archaic Russian, they praise Mayakovsky - well, that type wouldn’t object to any abuse of formal rules.)
I mean, I admit I often write in very bad English, but saying “you should proofread your texts” was absolutely useless, that person could just quote the specific place politely.
Side thoughts in the middle of sentences are definitely weird in written form.
That depends on the language. Similarly to how different prosody doesn’t indicate different national character or whatever.
In Russian that’s normal enough, in German much more. Considering some weak sides of the English language, might not work.
Ah. OK. So I speak a language, where such constructions are a bit more normal, except commas and dashes are used more generously, and synthetic grammar helps.
“You can fit a (can’t stress how good) planetary map into RAM wholly” might be a bit better? Anyway. OK, they’re struggling. They are choosing a weird way to inform me of what.
You’re just an all around shitty human being.
Says some anonymous moron.
No it’s not, it’s just you talking outta your ass ascribing your wishful interpretations to others. Your interpretation doesn’t obligate anyone other than yourself and your butt buddies.
It’s convenient to keep positions of many things, have marks, make comparisons. Ideally have multiple windows looking at the same file.
Yes, that’s very nice when you are already storing that something in a database. I said “suppose”.
So in how many languages do you write, and in which of them do you write better than I sometimes do in English? Other than your first one.
But it’s funny
No, and you are not an authority on my own logic.
I’m altering the rules
RAM is not really expensive. You get enough RAM for most tasks the use of which you can understand, as a fraction of the normal amount for any machine.
You can load a can’t stress how good planetary map into RAM wholly, without paging it.
Many text editors today just load the whole file into RAM.
That there’s much demand from some other side - oh yes.
BTW, I just got a thought that this might be aimed at hurting China and East Asia in general, when the bubble pops, in the west it’ll be just investors losing what they deserve to lose, but in East Asia it’ll be actual production rebuilt for the bubble dying in pains.
