Abstract:
Sam Altman's previous remarks about PC memory utilization caused controversy. Altman said that putting large amounts of memory on PCs is a waste because the memory is idle most of the time. The AI data center is in urgent need of more memory. In the context of memory shortage, efficiency can be improved by concentrating memory in cloud data centers.
This script can automatically detect remaining memory and generate a report email:
A developer recently released an open source script called Ram-Altman. The main purpose of this script is to regularly check how much available memory is left on the computer, and then automatically generate a ridiculing email to report to the recipient the memory that has not entered the data center.
The generated reporting emails can be sent to any designated recipient. If you want, you can even go to Sam Altman's mailbox and push these reporting emails to Sam Altman regularly, but this is likely to trigger anti-spam policy monitoring.
The project developer reminds players that it is best to only send "appreciation" report emails to yourself, because if you send them in batches to other people, your email may be blocked. If it is a custom domain name email, then the domain name may be blocked by other email service providers.
The content of the script is very simple:
Developer Ian Kay uses code written in Bash. This script can regularly read the /proc/meminfo file of the Linux system to obtain data such as total memory and real available memory. According to the scheduled task configuration provided by the project, the script can collect the latest memory usage information every 5 minutes, and the results will be saved as a CSV file.
When the remaining available memory exceeds 10% (that is, free or wasted memory), the script will automatically generate a report email and send it to the specified recipient. The project also prepares 8 different email subjects, 10 paragraphs of body content and 6 different signatures for players to choose different email contents.
However, in order to avoid frequently generating emails, the project defaults to: each computer can send a maximum of 1 email per day, that is, only 1 email will be sent no matter how many times it is idle, to avoid someone making a configuration error and causing their own or the designated recipient's mailbox to be bombed by this script.
