I'm afraid any new company may have to start from PC133-SDRAM.

#412> Micron's killing the Crucial brand of RAM and storage devices completely, More rot economy. Customers are such a drag. Lets just sell to other companies for billion dollar deals at once. These AI companies have bottomless wallets. No one has thought of this before we will totally get rich.

It's scary how real that scene is.
Says a lot about human psychology.

#413Earlier quoted context omitted.
At minimum, you'd need to wire in new 240V circuits, and you could only run one or two of these servers before you'd need a service upgrade. Then you'd have to deal with noise from a literal wall of fans, or build a separate high capacity water cooling system (and still deal with dumping that heat somewhere).
A utility is most likely only going to offer a 240V 400A single-phase service at best for a residence in the US, 320A can be used continuously. If you need more they’ll usually offer multiple 400A services. I’ve heard stories about people convincing their utility to install three-phase service drops in their homes, but usually it’s not an option. Anyways, 320A continuous load at 240V single-phase is 76.8kW, if you as…
Between that and the 100+ dBa noise pollution, I'm sure everyone in the neighborhood will be happy haha

#414Perhaps we'll have to start optimizing software for performance and RAM usage again. I look at MS Teams currently using 1.5GB of RAM doing nothing.
this could be the only silver lining, a gulf oil crisis of sorts to (at least temporarily) bring out "innovation" out of necessity.
unfortunately for a vast majority of people, memory is not the biggest constraint in pedestrian computing needs.

#415I wonder if these RAM shortages are going to cause the Steam Machine to be dead on arrival. Valve is probably not a big enough player to have secured production guarantees like Sony or Nintendo would have. If they try to launch with a price tag over $750, they're probably not going sell a lot.
That's true. But then if you are building a PC, prices are going up anyway so maybe in that comparision the Steam Machine is still worth getting.

#416time to stop using python boys, it's zig from here on out
The question for moving to new languages is always if there are enough jobs for it.
