BeepIs the Memory Shortage Intentional?
XLEI think this article is AI-generated. It spends a ton of time describing what RAM is, and then by the end, it leaves you with an off-topic question and no answer.
The debate between cloud-dominated inference vs. on-device compute is a genuinely open one today; there’s no obvious answer.
tl;dr don’t read actually
That’s bullshit, this is a good research article. The part you are talking about was like 3 paragraphs to explain the difference between DRAM and NAND because it is relevant to their analysis. They have dozens of citations and explain their calculations in depth, which is that openai bought more than three times the memory they need, and reasoned well about why that might be. Honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.
You are correct. I started skimming before I reached the 2200 word mark on a 4158-word article (not counting the appendix), which does explain just that.
It’s a scary world out there, I absolutely understand the feeling of reading too far in to a slop piece and feeling like my time was stolen from me. We have to support good human content, even if it’s from some hedge fund think tank thing. Thank you for being honest, sorry for calling it bullshit. It was bullshit, but, like I’m sorry.

(We’ve actually been deleting our own comments, which is a real shame because the one who called me out was also being a chad tbh)
I guess you can just restore things, this is news to me, but pretty neat.
