The Minecraft community so nostalgia blinded

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 4:13pm

Before anyone attacks me. I want to say I'm new to this platform and I will improve in the feature. However, I noticed the Minecraft community's trend of calling Mojang lazy and hating on new updates has been a trend since 2021. People say 1.16 was the last good update. False, that's subjective. All updates are good for things they aim for. They call Mojang lazy id they don't get the update they want. They just want it to be like terraria.

What does high effort mean when AI has made everything low effort?

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 3:34pm

it's incredibly easy to ship code now. but, what does this mean when the number of good ideas are tried at levels never seen before? It's not that all AI's are shipping "slop", but it does mean that the number of less than stellar ideas are permeating the space. This is dragging down the average of what's possible. This also has the negative effect of bringing down the perceived value of genuinely good ideas.

Ask HN: I am a junior CS and math major. I have no hope for SWE or math. Advice?

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 3:20pm

TL;DR: AI's recent advancements make me want to change careers from SWE or math. I feel completely lost and struggle to predict what future is best and "ai proof". I want any advice.

I feel completely lost both career and identity-wise. I think I should pivot careers. Engineering? Trade school? Law school? Medicine? Who knows. The problem is, any, high paying, knowledge related field seems under threat. It feels impossible to predict the future and so I am not comfortable putting my chips anywhere.

On the other hand, I could try to improve my CS skills (as depressing as the field feels right now), hope that AI slows down and I get a job so I can go back to a masters program in god-knows-what that is "ai proof".

Any advice is appreciated. I hope that this post can be useful for others in my situation because finding good resources that are not extremely biased seems hard.

--------------Here is why I believe what I believe---------------------

Seeing the rapid pace at which AI is improving, I have little hope that SWE (or math) is a viable a career path. If you asked me a year ago, I would never have thought AI would have gotten this good.

The big moments for me have been the release of Fable/Mythos 5 and OpenAI's disproof of the unit distance conjecture (and yes I know, disproofs using counterexamples are less impressive that proof).

I subscribe to the idea that anything AI can do well or okay at now, it will be excellent at in the near future. Although somewhat unfalsifiable, we have seen examples of this such as in writing or art and I see no reason for this to not happen to computer science and math (if we haven't already seen it with Mythos and OpenAI's disproof). I expect mass layoffs in SWE around when I graduate (2028).
