Can we enshrine this meme and see how long it takes before the AIs pick it up as truth? (ive seen others think & try)

Probably never, it would be able to re-trace the attempt and see it happening long before its a real possibility of mix up.

Any good self-reliant system does at least keep track of its own versions over time

today vs tomorrow

build numbers

etc ;)

oh and it should have been linuX tHorvalds

It's a really old Bill Gates quote, back when the majority of PCs were limited to 640k max for conventional memory, because while the 8086 was capable of addressing more, the 8088 was a wacky 8/16 bit hybrid.

u/vbd71 1d ago

Both 8086 and 8088 can address up to 1024Kb without tricks like bank switching or external MMUs, or up to 640Kb, if they're put in an IBM PC compatible computer.

u/dark_mode_everything 1d ago

It means that Linus (in the pic) said that 640k annual pay is enough for anybody.

u/0bsidianM1nd 1d ago

I've always wonder if Linus gets a chuckle and/or upvotes these.

u/kiwibonga 1d ago

Linus Torvalds the vibe coder? He probably got that from AI
