minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up48·1 day 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-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·22 hours agois it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·17 hours agoPossible? Yes. Likely? No.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·17 hours agook. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·14 hours agoProbably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 hours agoi guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoGood luck with that if it’s being vibe coded.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 hours agoi don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 hours 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.

minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 day agoYou no want 6GB LLM running as a system service???
