A probe collecting data in space takes <70 kB of memory. I fail to see how this statement should make me feel happy
replySpace is mostly empty there is not much interesting stuff to collect and who’s going to buy that data
replyLinkedIn on the other hand has user behavior, computer details etc. that’s a lot of interesting data.
As someone was pointing out in a thread the other day about memory usage, a lot is fonts and images.
replyEDIT: Just mind boggling to get d/v'ed for pointing out voyager doesn't have to render fonts or images...
How much? You typically don't want more than a few different fonts on a given document. And neither fonts nor web images should be bigger than hundreds of kilobytes. How do we get to gigs?
replyWell, and then you have Claude Code which at one point needed 68GB of RAM to run https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2026497606575398987

Aka poor resources management.
replyIf you have significantly more images loaded in RAM than what fits on your screen, something wrong is going on. (Not counting the filesystem cache here, because it works in a best effort way).

replyI’m guessing you mean “does” in the sense of a user-facing feature.
replyI’ve heard that LinkedIn searches for several hundred known browser plugins to identify potential abusive users. If the “simple chat apps” aren’t doing that, then it’s apples-to-oranges.
