So basically it produces complete bullshit equivalent to that of somebody having some sort of mental breakdown.
This article and the general attitude of AI bros reminds me of somebody hearing a parrot blurt out something random they picked up, then try to assign some deeper meaning about the universe to it.
This is just the typical FOMO nonsense pushed by AI fans.
It's the exact same as seen with many past hypes, and every time the result is a lot more nuanced than those fans claim. It wasn't that long ago that people were claiming MongoDB was going to revolutionize the world and make relational databases obsolete, or how cryptocurrencies were going to change the world, or NFTs, and the list goes on.
An increase in right-wing extremism and racism, public transportation that is falling apart and ridiculously expensive, the water quality going downhill due to pollution, costs increasing far more than neighboring countries for seemingly no solid reason, a complete disregard for the climate and the EU regulations we're supposed to meet, and a lot more.
Considering the state of The Netherlands over the last two decades, I can't help but feel this report is straight up bullshit. The only way I can see The Netherlands rank this high is by only asking two people and some sheep in the middle of nowhere.
I think sysusers _can_ technically run quadlets because you can log in as them, but it's definitely not what they're meant for so it's probably not going to work forever.
For Linux this will vary between distributions and configurations. For example, based on some testing I did today using mkosi [1] (for reasons unrelated to this discussion), a bare-bones Fedora 43 installation uses about 130 MiB of RAM, while a Debian installation uses a little more than 100 MiB.
IIRC last time I tried a bare-bones FreeBSD installation it used about the same amount of memory, maybe a little more based on how ZFS is set up.
The Netherlands has a very similar problem: the train system was privatized in the late 90s/early 2000s and has been going downhill since the 2010s or so. While it's still better than Deutsche Bahn, it's just so much worse compared to how it used to be.
