We need to go deeper! Soon we'll have a machine learning algorithm conjure Mac OS by calculating the next frame to display, taking into account user input, based on watching thousands of hours of normal Mac OS usage
That's brilliant. Gave me the funny thought that GPT-3 could solve one problem we used to argue about back in the day. What's the right order for loading extensions? I don't remember the details, but I do remember my old office would discuss it endlessly. The black magic and superstitions to keep the system going as long as possible before the inevitable crash. Maybe, 25+ years later, there could be a definitive answer.
I seem to remember a Cassidy & Greene program that would do all sorts of statistics to your extensions. I mainly used it to do a binary search to figure out which extension is causing the shareware app of the day to crash.
Conflict Catcher! By Jeff Robbin, who later wrote SoundJam MP, which was then bought by Apple and turned into iTunes, and he stayed at Apple for many years (may still be there even(
This was one of the only games I actually played in the Macs they had at elementary school (we spent most of our recess time on Napster...playing 12 different songs simultaneously in the same room, and nobody cared). I spent so long looking for this game, but I couldn't even figure it what to search for, because I didn't remember the title.
Also I believe 7.6 updated error reporting to native PPC codes so that a lot of the time an application could just crash on its own without crashing the whole system. Not always, but yeah even without protected memory.
Weirdly I don't think there's a machine learning algorithm that can actually do this. pix2pix loses cohesiveness quickly, and GANs require mostly aligned input to make any sense of reality. BigGAN is the closest, yet even that doesn't seem to work very well for continuity.
