> If you're not overcommiting, that fork will fail, because total memory consumption will be 1200 MB which is more than 1GB. That somewhat restricts program design. Does this accounting apply to vfork as well?

When I personally use chatgpt and friends, I am not seeing any slowdowns or anything, meaning that their servers can handle the loads just fine. So then, why are these companies spending so much building new capacity if the current capacity

Aha I saw the paper was published in 2005 and assumed they got the patent at the same time. If they were granted it in 2009 doesn't that means it expires in 2029?
