AI’s Memory Crunch Is Coming For Android Apps
Google is imposing new memory-use limits on Android apps as the AI data center boom contributes to a broader memory chip shortage that could leave lower-cost phones with less RAM. Developers will have until February 2027 to meet new thresholds for memory and bitmap usage. To aid developers, Google is adding tools to flag apps that exceed the limits and help prevent slowdowns and … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s quite similar to how escape sequences work in a terminal. ASCII text is printed as ASCII text and then an escape sequence can make it bold or underline and so on. Other escape sequences allow you to say “the following $n bytes are part of a bitmap image”, and then this gets printed at whatever the current position is (somewhat similar to SIXEL in a terminal).

It’s just that the units are a bit weird, because this is all done in bloody inch. 😅

Go 中祕而不宣的數據結構 BitVec：位向量 125MB 存儲 10 億個數據
位圖 (bitmap) 是一種優雅而高效的數據結構, 它巧妙地利用了計算機最底層的位運算能力。你可以把它想象成一個巨大的開關陣列, 每個開關只有打開和關閉兩種狀態 —— 這就是位圖的本質。每一位都可以獨立控制, 卻又可以通過位運算實現羣體操作。在實際應用中, 位圖的威力令人驚歎。設想你需要在海量數據中查找重複的數字, 傳統的哈希表或數組都會佔用大量內存。而位圖卻能巧妙地用一個比特位標記一個數字的 ⌘ Read more
