You mean all of that running all the time is 70gb?
I tried freecad + blender with 8 mil sculpt model + prusaslicer, but that was only 11gb, so I added pycharm + steam and cyberpunk 2099 and that was 19gb.
The language server for many things I work on sits at 28gb per copy.. I work for twitch, our code base is not small for the website. Moving all engineers to min spec 48gb.
I'll do stuff all day prototyping data analysis approaches that will fill ram with a pandas cross join.
I put my4 into thermal shutdown 2x in the last month and hard locked it due to swap use 3 times in the last month. I keep records so I can talk with IT about or dev machine specs. Apparently you can't run 30 concurrent yarn builds on a 3gb codebase... Who knew.
This isn't a works on my box competition I'm glad your workloads are that small, you can be a lot more efficient than me. I'm also lucky I bought all this ram before it became absurdly expensive.
It doesn't negate that I'm constantly over 64gb and that I'm super happy I have 128+ on my machines.
That’s not even remotely true.
Plenty of people still wear analogue wrist watches (eg for fashion). Then there’s old clocks in buildings like town halls. And it’s still reasonably common for people to hang analogue clocks in homes like one might a painting.
And even many digital clocks are still dumb devices that need to be manually synced. Such as most kitchen appliance clocks.
Won't someone please think of the poor JLC owner. Look I get it, I like nice watches as well. I also recognize some day a computer is going to drive for me. Some of my nicest antique watches barely or don't run.
All of those clocks have drift and most of the wall ones are wrong by several minutes. We're also talking the drift of 1 hour over the course of 6 months. or .32 minutes a day, or 2.3 minutes a week. Most clocks will be drifting that much on weak batteries or grime if they're not quartz or digital.
Your fancy watch likely isn't on time unless you have only one, or you have auto-winders on all of them. And you're not going to miss an appointment because your Patek is off by .32 minutes a day 2.3 a week.
If you cared about accuracy you'd have a network clock synced to an atomic clock, oh wait, you do, its in your pocket. People wearing watches for fashion aren't using them for their calendar appointments or because they don't want to be late for an appointment with the King.
You’re vastly over exaggerating the drift of analogue watches. I’ve never experienced anything like that and I’ve been using them for 40+ years ;)
Also, 5 minutes of drift is still very noticeable for people. You don’t need NTP for that level of accuracy but you do need the clocks not to adjust their time zones by a minute every day.
Or write your own MCP server and make lots of little tools that activate on demand or put smarts or a second layer LLM into crafting GQL queries on the fly and reducing the results on the fly. They're kinda trivial to write now.
I do agree that MCP context management should be better. Amazon kiro took a stab at that with powers
Carnegie did that to white wash his public opinion while he worked his workers non stop and to mutilation or death. When are you going to the library when you work 996 or more?
Other than the people that hang out here, most people don't want to write software, they want to make problems go away and things happen and make their lives easier and more fun.
we can magically have the ai do things for us now... for most people that's perfect. it opens programming up to others but do they care how it happens? does your ceo care what programming language or library you use (if they do do you want to work there)?
Enjoy losing your money, getting your personal information leaked, and possibly getting arrested when and if it does something illegal on your command.
