  • I was literally thinking of Pearl Harbor this week.

    I'm sure many might argue that it changed nothing, that the U.S. would enter the war anyway.

    But damn did it piss off a hornets nest. It has to be one of the greatest tactical blunders in human history.

  • "The Life of a Showgirl" is out Now!

  • On a first pass through I've really liked Wi$h Li$t. The message really resonates with how I've been trying to live my life for years now

    Just on bop terms I think I like The Fate of Ophelia

  • Dr.K Explains Tylenol and Autism

  • I don't know much about the fellow, I haven't seen many videos of his, but I did see a clip of him interviewing PirateSoftware when the internet was slamming him and the way Dr. K talked to the "patient" was super inflammatory and extremely unhelpful. I found it really off putting and made me look at Dr. K as more of a showman than a legitimate therapist.

    Finding out that he's allegedly done much worse is just awful

    I think we should promote and encourage therapy but not as performative art

  • Old-school TV schedule plugin?

  • Looks like that may be supported! Now I'm wanting to get in on this

  • Jokes on you...

  • I just want to double check that everyone sees that is a fake duck

  • Invasion has been added to matchmaking!

  • siempre lo hago

  • I love this one but is the gif moving at 0.5 frames a second or is it just me

  • Why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment

  • I think you've got a bit of a strawman going here

    Those who complain about the environmental impacts of AI almost invariably complain about flights and beef as well

  • Have you ever cried because of a video game?

  • Maybe an outside one here, but when Dragon Age: Origins was still new, I was much younger and hadn't had a serious girlfriend yet. And in general, I got quite a bit more attached to characters in games, including the romantic interests especially.

    Spoilers ahead if you haven't beaten the game

    At the end of the game, my character died and I had romanced the character Leliana. The end screen shows a somber note about Leliana being heartbroken and wandering the world missing the character.

    Something about that really struck something in me and made me extremely sad. I think it's probably the only time I've ever really cried because of a video game.

    I can't actually find a reference to this ending online. The wiki isn't 100% complete. Otherwise, I would have linked the blurb here.

    Now a days I struggle to connect with characters in games. They will never be as real as my friends or my partner, so it's hard to form such an emotional connection as I did when I was a teenager.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 10th

  • Two Point Museum

    I don't normally last this long with sim games but this one keeps me hooked

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

  • The hard part is the skill gap - it's not like the pros are a little better than you and you can maybe eke out win. They absolutely dominate you.

    I describe them as gusts of wind because they blow in so fast and aggressively we're dead before we can react

    If Apex could stop that experience from happening I'd honestly still play it

  • The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement

  • I'm torn - while I'm not a fan of the new look, I'm also viciously anti-lawn-grass so I can't complain too much.

  • Dog's mind vs cat's mind

  • Charts like these are a reminder that people don't understand cats as well as I would like

    A cat does all the same things a dog does, they just don't give it away for free. You gotta earn the respect, more like you would a person!

    My cats follow me from room to room, love being held, love to play, and all sorts of good stuff

  • Venmo, PayPal users can now send money to the US government to help pay down $36.7T national debt

  • Study shows AI coding assistants actually slow down experienced developers

  • Copying from the x-post

    Research paper here: https://metr.org/Early_2025_AI_Experienced_OS_Devs_Study.pdf

    I think these are interesting findings, they definitely conform to my experience, but I'd want to always have more data and larger sample sizes.

    One point in particular stood out to me - the lack of LLM context. I have a new person on my team (junior level) that uses AI for everything, and it's so obvious that the LLM is getting tripped up with the lack of context. Not all the required information is in a single repository, and it needs additional info like the documentation and spoken architectures that aren't explicitly documented, historical choices as to why we make decisions in a certain way, or even just style guides. The LLM context window just isn't large enough right now to be a truly effective programmer for large, complex projects
