minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months ago If it worked out, the idle Windows 11 RAM usage would’ve been around 4.8GB Me on beefy Linux distro with a metric ton of garbage installed: 3.2GB Good luck vibe coding memory efficiency…
minus-square‹Hexa«Back›@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-22 months ago16GB RAM. ~3500 packages building up a nightmarish franken-debian of like ~250ish apps. 1.5GB RAM usage on boot. optimisation really does wonders edit: yes, true story btw

minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYou no want 6GB LLM running as a system service???
minus-square𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoOur Microslop overlords have said that I do, so I guess I do? I don’t know. Hand on. I’m asking Copi— I mean… I’m thinking…
minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYou could download more RAM by buying Copilot cloud subscription!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agois it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoPossible? Yes. Likely? No.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agook. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoProbably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoi guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoGood luck with that if it’s being vibe coded.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoi don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoAs long as they are based on LLMs, I don’t think it ever will be. But it will get better at pretending it is and passing tests.

Now there’s an idea!
is it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
