its vital for them to have self validation for exponential rsi.. and this human distillation of human in the loop debugging ai models is needed even though they have judge models handling parallel speculative execution.
labs have parallel speculative execution. they spawn hundreds of agent branches, validate them internally with AI judges and only show the user the successful result.
free users are using sequential single-turn generation. the model requires and waits for the human to debug, fix and re-prompt.
by forcing a human to act as validator. they are capturing high value correction trajectories (Bad Output --> Human fix). They are using your cognitive labour to train judge models and validator agents needed to automate the internal verification step, eventually closing the loop for fully autonomous recursive self-improvement.
human in the loop debugging isn't a bug; it's the necessary training signal for the self-validating agents required for exponential recursive self improvement. With new 'distilled judge' models landing in 2026, this article means that they might have gathered enough data. we might be in the final phase..
For user interface designers. A sincere request to consider these old interfaces like Palm OS, IBM CUA, Mac System 6 for a modern Linux GUI.
The simple black and white interface reduces cognitive load and decision fatigue. Modern UI like skeumorphic, material, drop shadows, 3d interface, aero, glass etc are high cognitive load for some individuals.
A text heavy interface and GUIs that are explicit, not implicit and learnt through discovery is easier for me.
A link to the an article. The picture shows that the IBM CUA works for both terminal and Windows 2.0 type GUI in simple black and white.
Ardi Executor. There's a recent fork at GitHub. You can run m68k binaries seamlessly. You don't need propietary MacOS parts, just the software.
But if you are some software preserver, having a libre option to run legacy media it's always good for historical reasons. I am a daily libre software user but I emulate ancient machines with propietary stuff just for curiosity. As it not a personal computing device I find it fine. It's just an historical toy and not my computing device. And, well, if you want to create libre engines for old Mac games (ScummVM, SDL ports...), for sure you need to at least emulate the old OSes and run the propietary game in order to compare the output and correctness.
Also, it already exists "Mac" for x86. It was Rhapsody DR2 and it could run Classic Mac software and NeXT one too. It was like a blend of these two. OSX it's like NeXT Step concept 2.0, with few traces of Mac Classic.
Qemu will run it fine.
Rhapsody DR2 is not a solution for classic Mac OS on x86. Lunduke writes:
"Unfortunately [the Blue Box] was only available on PowerPC versions of Rhapsody"
Another option is Advanced Mac Substitute. It doesn't run everything, but what it does run it runs really well. One of my goals is that you can use a 68K Mac application (e.g. MacPaint) as part of your personal computing workflow, if you wish.
From the website;
Optimizations for windowed games improves gaming on your PC by using a new presentation model for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games that appear in a window or in a borderless window.
When these optimizations are used, games that originally use the legacy blt-model presentation can use the newer flip-model presentation instead (if the game is compatible). This results in lower frame latency and lets you use other newer gaming features; for example, Auto HDR, and variable refresh rate (for displays that support it).
The new Finder logo has so much meaning symbolically for me.
It actually has a very ugly meaning to me.
I felt that it is the end of the road for me.
My first Mac was a Powermac 7300/200.
btw, nobody ever mentioned that the red close button is next to the minimize button. This is similar to the close button being next to the maximize button on Windows. Just reversed.
On Mac OS classic the close window button is on its own. I really miss Mac OS classic.
If you have time to tinker with it, I highly recommend you spend some time with classic Mac OS! It obviously cannot replace the modern computer, but as a sidekick for your brain it is wonderful… Mac OS 9's Acrobat Reader still supports the PDF website captures by Safari in Sonoma.
I use it as an external brain. I love that the Finder is spatial and has a one-to-one relationship between windows and documents and files and icons… and I benefit from it leaving icons where I put them
And sometimes I play great 90s/2k games on my external brain :)
There is a very nice IDE called Mine
