  • I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.

    I couldn’t have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I’m almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.

    Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don’t go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I’m the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that’s a super liberating feeling.

    TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.









  • Yeah, your brain is not doing projectile motion equations in real time, it’s the same process as teaching a neutral network to approximate a parabola.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly impressive that this prediction in our brain requires the visual processing of data from eyes to identify an object flying through the air, moving our hand in a perfect intercept course to catch it. All without having to have a ton of data points to ‘train’ on.
