A Sam Altman parody offers an amusing lesson in memory management
Summary
Ars Technica covers a satirical RAM-Altman project by Iain Kay, a bash-script parody that emails Sam Altman when available memory crosses a threshold. The piece explains how MemTotal and MemAvailable are used to gauge usable RAM, includes code examples and a dry-run demonstration, and situates the parody in the context of Altman’s comments about RAM and cloud infrastructure.
