"Your 40, time to start buying loto tickets I guess."

I stopped playing Minecraft years ago, just before endermen were added. I recently had a go at it 6 months ago, and I couldn't get into it. In my mind Minecraft lost its charm of brutal simplicity since MS took over. The spells, the huge diversity of new items its just lost on me.

But I like the way these FOSS clones look, maybe I'll give it a shot later.

Also, screw MS. I purchased Minecraft 4 times for friends to borrow, I don't want an MS account tied to each one, nor do I have time for that hassel.

Honestly the Windows UI is kinda annoying, and it did effect my performance until I recently ditched it for linux w/ i3 as the WM... I want something straightforward and to the point. The windows UI peaked at XP, everything else has been inferior.

This is the umpteenth article I've seen on HN about the topic. It's getting repetitive. Maybe they are using ChatGTP for these articles!

Seriously tho, I'll believe it when I see it. The few times I used ChatGTP for code, it was extremely mediocre, unless I held its hand though every block of code. So what it boils down to, natural language has become a "programming language". Untill we get general purpose AI that can understand requirements/limitations, read AND write code, make sensible tests, anticipate security threats, maintain code and present results to stakeholders all on consumer HW, "coders" aren't going anywhere.

Edit: After reading the article, the first few paragraphs of which are basically an advert for OpenAI, the Author seems to push an image of the "arrogant" unable to see the potential of AI. This just some weird marketing material aimed at execs looking to bolster future software resources.

In short, how good is ChatGTP at chess? A well structured, yet very complex game. Good, but not great, and I feel we will see the same with Code

Many people here are pointing out "Why would Microsoft do this to their customer base?"

Well it's because they can, and people are not going to do anything about it. Most people don't know about or cant reinstall the OS. So the publics real decision is between an expensive MacBook, or well Windows. To make things worse most people are so used to ads, tracking and other bullshit, this is just par for the course... white noise.

If you really want a change, your going to have to get the major OEMs to start distributing Linux on mass, but you bet that if that ever took off there would be trackers on their distros in a heartbeat.

I am already served that google "Discover" trash on Android Chrome. I switched to Firefox mobile for that reason.

At least it is probably not one of those dumb MS tabloid ads "Bill Gates hates this one weird trick!"

Jokes aside, that would make me switch to Debian immediately.

What is the motd?

Its definitely neat, but not sure how practical it is against traditional pressure/vacuum?

The Oil Industry has a big lead in this tech, but maybe this would be useful in domestic applications like drainage?

And? The developers of Haskell owe us nothing. I don't see the point of your complaint. If the tool doesn't fit the bill, don't use it.

IMO Haskell is more of a dream project of having a highly optimizable and flexible complier. Its fun to write, great when it works (well), but it's not the workhorse of C and Python.

What? no. On the flip side what if their company is convulsing at the possibility of being offline for a few days due to the issue, updating a HN post would be their lowest priority untill they find a solution. Give them a break, OP owes us nothing.

That is rather aggressive?? Maybe thry live in another time zone and are asleep, or have other obligations like school pickup. Given them at least 24 hours to respond. sheesh...

No formal diagnosis here, beyond doctor's suggesting ADHD for my poor grades in elementary school.

I use Nicorette at work when I really need to focus, and I try to keep a consistent sleep schedule.

Common man, you started your comment well, but you end up just discrediting yourself with your meme text at the end.
