minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 days agoYou no want 6GB LLM running as a system service???

minus-squareBlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 days agoYou could download more RAM by buying Copilot cloud subscription!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agois it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agook. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·23 hours agoProbably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·23 hours agoi guess a better way is just make something less RAM heavy from the get go.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 hours agoGood luck with that if it’s being vibe coded.
minus-squareBilSabab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·23 hours agoi don’t think vibe coding will be that sophisticated any time soon.
minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 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.

Now there’s an idea!
is it even possible to vibe code efficient memory use properly?
Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
ok. is it even remotely more cost-effective than doing the old-fashioned optimizing?
Probably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!
