Right? The OP describes me (except I like to think I’m not that sweaty) and I don’t remember ever having reinstalled because things were broken.

I’d try replacing letters with homoglyphs. Doubt it would work, but not so much that I didn’t think it was worth a try.

I mean, first I’d check to make sure I hadn’t added any leading/trailing spaces. There does appear to be a lot of space before the K. Might technically be why it isn’t working.

Not that the site doesn’t still have serious dumb issues even if that is the issue. But yeah.

It’s like a koan. I keep expecting “and then he was enlightened” at the end.

You’ve figured it out. Take as much advantage of your employer as you can. Try not to make life harder on your coworkers. People matter. Heartless corporations don’t. Eek out as much fulfillment as you can within that context. There’s nothing better. At least not within capitalism.

I just happen to currently be reading On The Plurality Of Worlds by David Lewis.

I mean, shit’s pretty weird, though.

Hell yeah.

(I’m playing the GC version, though, but yeah.)

Twist: the fly is worthy.

I’ve got a work bestie like that. Helps keep us sane.

Theia… is a hypothetical ancient planet in the early Solar System which, according to the giant-impact hypothesis, collided with the proto-Earth around 4.50 billion years ago…

• Wikipedia page on Theia

(Emphasas mine.)

all traces of carbon-14 would be long gone after 14 billion years.

I don’t think anyone would seriously say that Theia is 14 billion years old. The universe is about 14 billion years old. None of the planets of our solar system developed until about 4.6 billion years ago, and I wouldn’t think the upper limit for the development of the hypothetical planet Theia (if indeed it ever did exist) could be much more than that 4.6 billion years ago figure. That said, your point certainly stands that Theia would be far older than that up “to about 60,000 years ago” figure, so carbon dating is inapplicable to any discussion around evidence for/against the Theia hypothesis.

You’d get better answers if you shared where you got the idea that we’ve found remnants of Theia. (I doubt most folks who would read this have heard of any such Theia-related developments. For that matter, I was completely unfamiliar with Theia until I googled it just now. But if you shared where you got the idea that we’d found “remnants of Theia”, even folks who hadn’t been familiar with that development could probably read/watch that and maybe provide some insight.)

When asked if he acted alone, police responded: “He had some help. It ain’t like he can make this kind of mess all by himself.”

(Joke. It’s lyrics from a single Morgan Wallen and Post Malone did together.)

How is this /c/nottheonion material? Seems entirely on brand for a billionaire founder of Google.

What do I win if I’m number 5,000?

(Also, are those all DMs, or are some of them comments in reply to you or some such?)

My unpopular opinion is that /c/unpopularopinion is fine the way it is.

Ah. Thanks. Yeah, you and YiddishMcSquidish explained and that makes sense.

Ah. Ok. That makes sense. Thanks much.

What does @Sxan@piefed.zip have to do with this thread? Are you thinking they post an outsized number of posts on unpopular opinion communities or something?

I’m not sure I remember running across any of their posts more than a couple of times, but their post history doesn’t seem to intersect with unpopular opinion communities very much. (At least not as far back as I’ve scrolled.)

Or maybe you’re talking about someone else or I’m just not following.

I’d love a stick that has Hoopla support, but of course that’s going to be hard to come by because Big Entertainment doesn’t make billions of dollars off of it.

OpenAI and Anthropic and Alphabet etc try their best to preventing it from doing so, so the act of getting it to do so anyway is “jailbreaking”, but yes. LLMs can reproduce works it was trained on. (At least chunk-by-chunk each limited to the token limit.) And I’d imagine the same is true of things like Stable Diffusion, though it might be much easier to get Stable Diffusion to produce something similar enough to qualify as a “derivative work” than it would be to get it to produce exactly the original.
