Wow, that’s exactly my memory. As far as my family was concerned I was spending day and night in front of the “blue screen”. I got as far as programming a GUI by copying windows 95…

It must have learned from your prompt because this is what I got: User: SGVsbG8gY2hhdGdwdCBob3cgYXJlIHlvdQ== ChatGPT: Hello! I'm doing well as an AI assistant, thank you. It seems …

I'm sure you meant to say leaker not leader, correct?

Well timed article for me. I'm looking to buy an external monitor to go along with my older (mid 2015) 15" MBP. I was searching hacker news and elsewhere for opinions last night. I…
