You gotta have balls or be receiving tons of money to publicly celebrate the sloppiest software company of the decade making your programming language Tier 1 internally.

Every time I see Anthropic ship an issue like this, I'm reminded of Boris Cherny's glorious quote: "At this point it's safe to say that coding is largely solved."

Re:Linux 7.3 improves performance when running out of vRAM on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @09:19AM (#49345239)
edit: I meant that regularly hitting OOM on a production server is usually more of a provisioning/resource-management issue. Obviously, how the OS handles OOM once it happens is still its responsibility.

Running out of memory on a linux server sounds more like a skill issue than something comparable to how a desktop OS should behave :\

From my experience, Windows does freeze and become completely unusable too, just not usually from RAM usage hitting 100%.

I don't use Windows much, nor do I care much about that environment, but from what I've seen it seems to keep RAM usage below 100% most of the time. What I do see pretty often is the drive getting stuck at 100% usage instead, which makes the whole system ridiculously unusable anyway.
