Generative “AI” data centers are gobbling up trillions of dollars in capital, not to mention heating up the planet like a microwave. As a result there’s a capacity crunch on memory production, shooting the prices for RAM sky high, over 100 percent in the last few months alone. Multiple stores are tired of adjusting the prices day to day, and won’t even display them. You find out how much it costs at checkout.

    The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

    Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.

    You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory? And you think it’s normal?

    You might want to proof read that.

    I think you might want to put more effort into reading. This seems to be your weak side.

      Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.

      By your own logic, considering how you wrote your first comment, you should not have the right to talk at all

            No it’s not, it’s just you talking outta your ass ascribing your wishful interpretations to others. Your interpretation doesn’t obligate anyone other than yourself and your butt buddies.

      Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.

        It’s convenient to keep positions of many things, have marks, make comparisons. Ideally have multiple windows looking at the same file.
