1/ Why are we running out of memory with every new release?

I came across this just by accident. Personally, I use Slackware, but one of my laptops had Ubuntu 24.04 for testing purposes because I have some servers running it.

@Bubblebathgirl All this woke stupidity most likely comes from feminists... Things like this were the reason why men in the past locked them in their houses? Perhaps men of the past weren't crazy. Just saying.

@BrianAtlas Women ask for equality; men deliver it.

@Men_Of_Purpose A girl who does that will never, ever love you... They are just having a fun time with the fool of the moment and making the fool spend money...

The idea that a 2-year-old girl who doesn’t play with dolls must be trans is ridiculous

@LundukeJournal The absurdity behind rewriting coreutils makes sense now; Microsoft backed it. Our suspicions about removing the GPL were right; they are pushing hard to implement it on popular distributions, making tests on real production systems before they decide to ship it on Windows.

@HolyHolaquetal Y destructores de relaciones, solo imagina a esta psicótica aconsejando a una mujer sobre su pareja.

@pabloharour @hellgirlyuh Si esto es verdad, debe ser suficiente para removerle el título.

@mandylu What a weird post for someone who has a math PhD. Definitely bait.

[Victor C @VCTech2019]

@mouse_math Yeah, that is one of the problems AI has... the results that are positively qualified by its requestors (including texts, images, and videos) tend to converge in subsequent similar requests, which is why some faces or pictures created by AI look similar, as do texts and others.

[Victor C @VCTech2019]

@mouse_math In reality, no, we need more mathematicians... math is a secure profession in the AI era. There are too many custom math algorithms that companies need to solve their problems and maximize earnings.

@catsareblessing Even though they aren't humans, they have an unconscious, strong notion of how the world's physics has to work.

@davepl1968 Yup. As a child in the late 80s, I bought magazines and typed the programs on the PC. Sometimes typo errors or missing lines in the printed code were a challenge to solve. In the early 90s, the source code came on floppies. I always reviewed and changed the code for fun.

@LundukeJournal A non-binary pet software running on top of a BINARY system. 🤔

8/ It seems people aren't caring about memory consumption when coding. I can run complex matrix operations, even a random forest, with a small dataset in 128 MB of heap memory in my SBCL, but just an underscore that highlights a dead key consumes > 100 MB; it is unacceptable.

7/ But what I noticed was concerning: just removing IM frees +100 MB of RAM, seriously!? What happened to the code quality nowadays? I would accept 1 KB or 4 KB extra for that, but not more than 100 MB.
