This one's probably pretty well covered, actually. All of Apple's Inside Macintosh documentation is available in PDF format, and there's plenty of old programming books and magazines which have been scanned and OCRed.
- Someone 2y agoInside Macintosh has very, very few code examples (the only one I remember is the example program at the start of the phonebook edition) Without large code examples, can a LLM write even halfway decent code? > there's plenty of old programming books and magazines which have been scanned and OCRed. In my memory, the heyday of printing programs in magazines was before the Mac. Macintosh programs were too large to print in a book or magazine, and other methods to distribute code were available (ftp servers, CDs) I would think a good LLM for assisting working on the Mac toolbox needs data from ftp sites and CDs.
