Feeling like DRAM: engineer jokes about refreshing context every 64ms to keep agents coherent
xiaosun86 · x · 2026-10-28
A relatable AI-engineering quip: the author jokes that running agents these days feels like being a DRAM chip — you have to "spin the dish" every 64 milliseconds (DRAM's refresh cycle) just to keep the agent working coherently. It's a wry nod to how often you need to re-inject context and state before agents drift or forget.
