This seems like it would create a lot of unnecessary latency and dependency on big tech. He should set up a home server and host his own ram.
If your ram sever crashes you might lose all your critical memory. Better to have Google host and maintain it.
I like self hosting so I set up my swap space on multiple floppy drives. All I have to do is swap disks when my machine requests.
So that’s what the name “swap” refers to
He knows the deep magic.
Long has prophecy foretold of the one who will download more ram.
We laughed. We poor nonbelievers.
Now he will change the world.
Dont give them ideas… I can already see it, RAAS - “Ram as a service”
50€ per GB
Only 499$ / year
Still cheaper than buying two sticks of RAM today
Just bought 2 sticks for 469€ (32GB DDR5). Price might still go up, maybe 499 per year would have been the better choice, we’ll see in a year I guess.
200ms lag for ram sounds like an exercise in patience that I will not succeed at.
This is whatever the opposite of edge-compute is.
Middle computing at its finest
how in the FUCK did they get 1PB of google drive?
Didn’t there use to be an unlimited tier?
I just found this:
Google Drive does not offer unlimited storage for personal accounts, but you can upgrade to a Google One plan for additional storage options, such as 100 GB, 200 GB, or 2 TB. Educational institutions may provide unlimited storage through Google for Education if you have a .edu email account.
There’s a gdrive frontend for Linux?
There is a fuse driver to directly mount it using the google API…
