   What if you RAMmed an Intel Optane drive right up your asshole?

   What's the difference between RAM and ROM?
   
   I can't ROM an Intel Optane drive up your asshole

   RAM is volatile memory used by computers to temporarily store and process data actively in use. It provides quick access for the CPU, acting as a cache for frequently used information, and loses its content when power is turned off. ROM is non-volatile memory utilized for storing permanent data like firmware. It retains its content even when power is off.

   So it’s like a hardware implementation of memory mapped files? That’s cool I guess but seems like a lot of work to go through for something we’ve had for a long ass time.

   Apparently it's basically capable of making large HDDs perform like it's an SSHD

   oh I thought it was just intel-branded NVME drives, they're low-capacity high-speed units that are meant to act as a cache between other devices

   kind of, I think the selling point is the firmware that's meant to maintain the cache 'intelligently', but if that's all it is you're better off just buying more RAM and using one of the regular tools to make a ramdisk

    and then you store everything as a vector database
