Wipeout 64 had some music by Fluke and Propellerheads but I'm pretty sure it used some tracker format to re-create the tracks from short recordings and honestly, they sound awful, not just because the audio quality but because the repetitiveness and lack of progression.
If I took a bit more than that, I would be constantly harassed about how much the dev team's hours cost. The same team that has become table tennis experts and shows up 2 days a week.
Also, it now sometimes thinks my headlights are on and dims the display for a few seconds randomly which I guess isn't too bad after 15+ years. It doesn't seem to have any other problems except for worn out suspension and leaking exhaust.
I'm entertaining this nonsense because I want to clarify, that I use a 20 year old web gui and it consistently eats 8 gigs of ram in Webkit because it uses CSS to update the forms. Webkit is the only option on iPads and yet it can't handle a 20 year old website because it doesn't do things in the standard ways. It's ridiculous to say "why doesn't it target web" especially after someone presents new coding harness that went out of its way to run well without it.
Even optimizing for specific hardware platforms is now trivial yet we act like everything has to be done through the browser, even though we know it's impossible to secure or do effectively because of the forest of constantly changing, proprietary tech.
I don't know why you needed a paragraph to say that 1000% memory inflation is a trade-off to optimize dev costs and we can just ignore JS because our goal is to support a browser as the gui.
It's a bunch of nonsense and yet you call what I said nonsense while all you do is provide opinion that it's OK because trade-off or something. What you said is purely opinion so you can't say my take is nonsense. There's nothing "pure engineering perspective" about it.
human intuition is supported by embodied experience, perception, and years of interacting with the physical and social world. An AI model's learned pattern recognition is analogous in some respects, but it isn't the same process.
intelligence may depend less on continuously scrutinizing everything than on having a good internal model, recognizing when that model is likely to fail, and knowing where to investigate.
I switched to MacOS 3 years ago because of Microsoft and the writing on the wall seems to say I got another year left before I'm forced into Linux. Because if I have to maintain my own OS then I might as well install Linux and do it once.
