Nice. Very interesting. But 4 gigs just to get I running. That's probably more than the DB I'm trying to query.

There's nothing wrong with being resource efficient, but relatively SQL queries used to take two minutes, and the result printed on paper, and the whole machine cost two million.

Yeah and sending a message to someone across the sea used to take months and probably wouldn’t even get there half the time, that doesn’t meant it’s not ridiculous that I can’t run two instances of slack without my computer melting.

the VR world where everything is HR enough that you can go to work inside the simulation. Like in various Sci-fi movies.

Without really digging into this, if it's a neural model like a sibling comment mentions perhaps you can do model compression that shrinks many multiples, if that is the majority of the image size.

Yes, I don’t know anything about how/what this is running, but I immediately can’t use it based on requirements. Too bad.

Dockerfile says

    FROM ubuntu:18.04

It'd be interesting to see what the space savings to Alpine would be.

at 4g? not much... ubuntu base is <100MB. thats massive compared to alpine with <10MB, but a tiny difference if we're talking 4G.

i wanted to check with dive [1] but sadly couldn't pull the linked image. the mentioned name on the github readme doesnt seem to exist
