Someone wanted to make sure to be the first?

We don't know what he really thinks. Maybe he knows it's a risk he wouldn't want to take but presents it as a goodwill

Not that kind of predict. And this reverse-time brain instantly forgets things it saw for the last time.

Consider a black box. A person opens it, sees a dice with a number, closes it. In our version of the time flow, the person finds out there's a dice and remembers it. In the 'reverse time' persons brain, they would know they would open the black box and know which number they will see. Then they will close it and completely forget what was inside forever.

If you consider a person, their brain in particular, flowing backwards in time, the brain becomes a prediction tool. Events-memories (neural connections) appear out of nowhere (from the state of being 'forgotten' in the forward time flow) then completely disappear when the corresponding event happens, annihilating its 'predicting' memory.

I didn't read the top level comment as dismissive or 'proving it wrong', but rather as adding context, or even being humorous somewhat

As with evertything, there's always nuance. If everyone followed similar midset to the comment you were replying to, likely llm generated pr issues wouldn't be as much of a problem and we wouldn't even be here discussing it

I don't care about ssd lifetime. This is purely an experiment. But you are inadvertently illustrating my point pretty well

What you're saying should make sense.

However:

32gb ram no pagefile: crashes

28gb + 2gb ramdisk pagefile: no crashes at all

No, the question is 30gb + 2gb ram swap vs 30gb + 2gb ssd swap

So in the described scenario, what advantage does an ssd-backed pagefile has over a ramdisk-backed one? Assuming the same sizes.

Because the common recommendation is "you need at least a few GB swap". We can change the total ram amount to 64 or 128.

If anything, it would be detrimental to their mission. Asking them to improve android in every way is the lawyers equivalent of ddos'ing an adversary with paperwork

This is a maximalist view, in reality not feasible or scalable. Of course this is what we need to strive for, but aiming to decrease 'total unhappiness' with what we have, is a rational, if somewhat cynical, aim.

But even at aface value, more rational long-term approach would be to treat it, surely
