Currently 300MB RAM idle, but I'm giving the embedding model (Qwen3 locally) 8GB. Since RAM ain't cheap rn, probably cheaper to just use OpenAI's embedder.

The datalake bit is really neat. Like a digital collection representing all your tastes. 

*stands up* I need more hardware.

I was surprised you bothered to get one working.

I said I would, so then I'm obligated by my word, even if I don't need it! I also want to have an opinion about it, so I need to (a) hack it and (b) run it for a while. Which is my problem right now. Nothing it can do will really help me solve something I haven't solved in a much more blissful way than the yolo vibe coders can offer! But I still want to have an informed opinion... I'm sure something will come to mind.

While I'm doing this playing, I'm having claude build me a bespoke data/document lake system 

 Maybe I can connect it to that and know everything about everything I care about... like a uniform interface to my meatspace memory backup/aide 🤔

I suspect the moat/lockin these companies seek is our session memory.

YES! Because then you can tune. I largely suspect that the training data for Claude post-4.0 is 100% the session logs: what we use it for, how we use it, where the friction is experienced, where the deadlocks happen... This is why it's still a dumb af bot sometimes when you do something audacious.

[^1]: At which it is failing hard on the details rn fwiw - feels like there's some regression in Claude code atm, started noticing odd responses and more errors yesterday - or maybe they nerf'd it coming out of Friday with some tears in the ego? Too early to tell but I'm about to write some things manually because the back and forth is making me go nuts - My "openness" tracker says I have a PR open for a little over 4h30m now. That's unheard of! ![](https://m.stacker.news/132535)
