The RAM price and availability situation is going to worsen as Micron pull their Crucial consumer business

I just wonder, how much ram does these AI companies or AI data centers actually/really need.
The answer is not a quantity but simply "yes" because multiple companies are in a race to the top so each of them want as many resources as possible.

We need someone to define Moore's Law for AI efficiency and capabilities because improvements are not linearly proportional to investments, not even close

HELLDIVERS 2 file-size on Steam gets massively reduced

Quoting: fractilegamesIt's nice to see the huge size decrease but it makes me wonder why the hell did they ship it with the duplicated data in the first place. Is it some kind of HDD read speed optimization they used to do on old consoles..
They believed they were doing HDD optimizations, but they figured out the optimizations had no effect because loading speed was not I/O bottlenecked. So they chopped off all duplications. A lot of them apparently.

Arch-based distro EndeavourOS gets a new Ganymede release

Quoting: scaineI'd LOVE to see an Arch-based distro that give us a store-like experience for updates and software installs. It's frustrating that Arch is so obtuse that even tools like Discover (KDE's appstore) is "not recommended for use with Arch-based distros".
Not exactly a solution but rather a workaround: you can install flatpak backend of Discover and use that. Discover will ignore host OS repositories and install software from Flathub only. Discover not being recommended (what's not recommended is PackageKit's Arch Linux backend, PackageKit handles host package manager interactions for GUI app stores) becomes irrelevant, you can use it safely.
