I could maybe get $5 and a hotdog for my cat, how much RAM can I get for that?
That’s an EPROM
congratulations! you win the prize!
tell them what they won Johnny!
Also, hand-woven ferrite bead memory was at 4kb at that time anyway. At least the one’s used in the apollo missions. This might mean commercially available IC memory tho.
You should be selling your ram for your cat.
But cats are cheaper than RAM, and they will love you more than RAM ever could.
RAM never coughed up a hairball on my pillow though.
RAM never sat on my pillow and then tried to fart me awake for an hour
RAM isnt a warming pillow
I wonder if cats actually love us or do they tolerate us since we are their source of food and shelter?
Just like a real baby!
No no no, cats are a lot more valuable than RAM!
Ram Altman should be known as Cat Altman - he really should build giant cat paradises instead of datacenters.
No, then we’d get, “It’s really unfortunate people own cats privately instead of sending them all to my sanctuaries.”
Cats have the advantage of multiplying by themselves, a cat sanctuary could start with around 100-200 cats, build up population until a target number, and then just make sure that only a small fraction are actually breeding. They could then even become cat assignment centers: cats which sleep at a specific spot for long enough will get assigned to a random person in need of a cat in their life.
I’d never sell my little buddy

You can sell your pets? I always just figured they were worthless to everyone else but yourself, unless they were some prize breed or special in some way.
You’re right. According to history books people were made into slaves because they could work for their owners.
I’m sure you can, but you shouldn’t.
if you distinguish between working animals and pets i agree completely. trained working animals are worth good money tho.
Enough cats could run around on cat wheels and generate more energy to offset costs of running a RAM farm.
One cat for ram is an amazing value. Do you have any idea how many cats I could get if I sold my ram? Like, so many
Hey, if it means one less data center…
My advice: Mail your cat directly to Ram Falseman begging for him to send some RAM back.
