Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.
  • Isn't paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search "what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?" I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

    DDG didn't provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

    This type of summary wouldn't be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

  • Doctor skillfully compares overeating with alcohol addiction and how we can get it under control
  • this day was especially bad and I desperately need the crutch, or especially nice and I feel like I wanna celebrate it somehow

    This is food for so many families. Having a bad day? Let's go get some dessert to make you feel better. A good day? Let's celebrate with a big meal.

  • Is Pixel 9 worth it? (instead of Pixel 8)
  • The main difference between the two to me is that the 9 pro is no longer larger than the regular version. Instead there's now a 9 pro XL. Now you can have the better camera without trying to fit a mini tablet in your pocket. If you're staying with the non pro version, most of the recent pixel models are very similar.

  • Conservative editor backtracks after seeming to use n word regarding Haitian migrants
  • The video also looks like he's making an M sound (closed lips) than an N sound (open lips). Grammatically, I also don't think including "Haitian" makes sense if the next word is a slur.

    I'm all for calling out the actual content on the conversation as the absolute nonsense that it is, but this specific headline seems like a bit of a reach.

  • Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 14 September 2024
  • I work from home so I spend most of my time barefoot. Shoes always felt wrong in some way. Arch support felt like it was in the wrong place, too narrow, or other problems depending on the shoe I tried. Even Altras were just not quite right. I got some Merrell vapor gloves. They're zero drop and extremely thin (6mm stack height). Because of this, you have to run a little differently than you would in a traditional shoe, mainly just avoiding heel striking and paying more attention to what you're stepping on.

    I'm taking it slow so I don't end up getting injured, but I still managed seven miles total in the first week with the new shoes.

  • Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 14 September 2024
  • I finally found some shoes that don't hurt my feet! For the first time in my life I'm looking forward to going on more runs, intentionally holding myself back so I don't get injured from pushing it too soon.

  • Go Vegan!
  • I do wish we still had something on lemmy.world similar to the old vegetarian home cooking community. Vegan has ethical implications, which makes some people perceive it as all or nothing.

  • Issue: Navigating directly to a post on a muted community does not show comments

    I browse lemmy primarily through the local feed and mute communities I'm not particularly interested in. When a different community posts a link to a muted community, the post opens without showing any comments.

    Example: I have muted the no stupid questions community. Someone posts a link to a post in that community to best of. That post opens fine and shows the correct number of comments, but no comments are visible.

    [Epic Games] A Plague Tale: Innocence | 100% off/giveaway

    This game is absolutely worth its full price of $40. The gameplay is very linear, but in a way that I quite enjoyed. The sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, is equally amazing. Easily two of my favorite games of all time.

    Bug: Inconsistent post scroll bar size and progress rate

    When scrolling through a text post, the size and progress rate of the scroll bar varies dramatically depending on the length of the current comment. In the example below, the post body is very long, resulting in a tiny scroll bar with slow progress. Once you're down into the comments, the scroll bar is much larger and progresses faster.

    Example: https://lemmy.world/post/6618261

    Request: Keyword filter for comments

    I would like to filter comments based on keywords similar to how the post keyword filter works.

    Request: Domain filter for posts

    I would like to be able to block links from certain domains. For example, mute all posts leading to instagram.

    Request: Keyword/wildcard filter for communities

    Example: I would like to be able to filter out all communities that start with the word "shitty" by having a community filter for "shitty*".
