This comment sums it up pretty nicely:
LOL innovative invention of swapping memory to storage…… maybe they can call it something cool like “cache”.
Apple being “inovative” my ass, lmao
Well, if that commenter had more than just a vague idea of caching and/or swapping, they would know that the right algorithm can make or break performance.
That paper is not “we invented caching”, but “this is how we make some certain models work well despite constraints imposed by RAM and flash storage.”
It’s a worthy job for an engineer or researcher. Not quite as innovative as the invention of the wheel, but still enough to write a paper on (and read it, if you can manage to understand it).
The easiest way to tell that something's not really innovative is if the person describing it uses the word innovative.
Can you give an example of something that actually was innovative, that no-one called innovative?
The spoked wheel.
Interestingly, it looks as if nothing was really called innovative before 1960, with usage peaking in 2000, and its now in decline
