b"Sometimes applications crash. Some other times applications crash because memory is exhausted. Such issues exist because of bugs in the code, or heavy memory usage for reasons that were not expected during design and implementation. Can we use machine learning to predict and eventually detect out of memory kills from the operating system?\\nApparently, the Netflix app many of us use on a daily basis leverage ML and time series analysis to prevent OOM-kills.\\nEnjoy the show!\\nOur Sponsors\\nExplore the Complex World of Regulations.

Well, it's essentially the extreme event in which the machine doesn't have any more memory left.\\n1300:02:05,756 --> 00:02:16,678And so usually the operating system can start eventually swapping, which means using the SSD or the hard drive as a source of memory.\\n1400:02:16,834 --> 00:02:19,100But that, of course, will slow down a lot.\\n1500:02:19,430 --> 00:02:45,210And eventually when there is a bug or a memory leak, or if there are other applications running on the same machine, of course there is some kind of limiting factor that essentially kills the application, something that occurs from the operating system most of the time that kills the application in order to prevent the application from monopolizing the entire machine, the hardware of the machine.\\n1600:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,500And so this is a very important problem.\\n1700:02:49,070 --> 00:03:03,306Also, it is important to have an episode about this because there are some strategies that I've used at Netflix that are pretty much in line with what I"
