This is https://trends.google.com/ which shows the usage of certain search terms

The term "kismet" is graphed in the image with a sharp increase in usage around the release of Life of a Showgirl

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Amazed an NYPost article isn't getting more scrutiny on Lemmy

But either way it appears to be verified by multiple other sources

Not a food crime, and definitely just an ad from a new account

Doubled my monthly contribution to NPR. Doing my small part

I can't say whether it can execute, but the metadata is a privacy concern if you are posting online. Depending on the camera taking the picture it can include the model of the phone, date, or even GPS information

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

Thursday Murder Club was just such a genuinely fun read. There was something so light hearted about it I loved
