Pretty soon this is going to be easier than dealing with MS's lack of testers. But there's still too many programs I'd lose access to.

Visual Studio is a good development environment, and one that I am used to. Office does everything that I need, and files can easily be shared with others. These are the only reasons that I remain with Windows.
And it used to be the leading O/S in the Win7 days.

I used to do that, but dropped even that since I can have MSSQL on Linux...
VS is very good - but in balance I opted to drop it (using mostly VS Code and Eclipse)...
Office went away way before that - never liked that 'super-smart' !@##@#!

The nonpartisan think tank Brookings this week published a piece decrying the bloc’s regulation of open source AI, arguing it would create legal liability for general-purpose AI systems while simultaneously undermining their development. When AI meets political intelligence

Another, serious thought (I posted yesterday on this). The EU already has a regulation that requires any AI system be able to describe how it came to a decision. This requirement alone puts a far higher onus on AI decision making than that of humans. Personally, I think the EU is going about this backwards. Instead, they need to recognize that until AI had good human mentors and role models (face in, social media isn't either) it will be a threat to humans.

Pot, meet kettle. The EU itself should be able to explain how it came to a decision.

The EU doesn't have to comply because it only applies to Artificial Intelligence and there's no Intelligence in the EU's leadership.

The EU is run by Natural Stupidity, so you have a point.

I think that's a Minecraft reference, but I've never played it.

Difficulty is a tough aspect to balance in video games. Some people prefer video games that present a challenge whereas others enjoy an easy experience. I'm sad because I crushed all the candy, and I could crush all the candy because I was sad

When the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview launched just over one year ago, we wanted to know one thing: Is this tool helping developers? Our research, using a combination of surveys and experiments, led us to expected and unexpected answers. Happiness is a warm keyboard. Click, click. Shift, shift
Good news for people wanting to write an HTTP server in JavaScript, apparently.
edit: I would have sworn I've used an article about this study in the past, but the article was dated today (and obviously not just an echo as it's actually on the GitHub site). Maybe it was another study I had previously linked to?
