Comics 1110-1112: Deep, Man

1110. The interface was horrible but this was reasonably fun. B-

1111. Wouldn't it be hilarious if a reporter started talking about the fact that the universe is dying instead of the event they were covering? D

1112. Is the whole point of this really "lol people who complain about game balance just suck at the game" or am I missing something? F

    5. Let me guess, Eumesmopo: you're a socially awkward computer geek in his late teens or early 20s who considers himself to be of above average intelligence and who constantly gets angry about how "dumb" the world is?

      You're also significantly more well off than those around you and you are convinced that it's mostly down to what you think is your hard (but only in the sit-on-your-ass-and-vaguely-apply-your-neurons sense) work and your God-given right to exploit your intelligence even to others' detriment.

And yet you feel proud enough to say so on a comment thread full of complete strangers, thinking we wouldn't mock you for it because we're too dumb to know about complex numbers.

    6. Assuming integers, for any number n that you know I know the numbers n and n+1. Assuming any other non finite group, for any number n that you know I know the numbers n and n<group operation>n. Will there be anything else?

      Delete
    7. Unroll, that's an assertion, not a proof.

      It would have just as useless but more succinct to say "For any number n that you know I know the number n".

      And your penultimate sentence, considering closure, is especially stupid.

      Did you know the number 2394823983.348272842, for example? Maybe you recognise it now, but I bet you've never even thought of it before. I have so many more numbers like this that you do not know.

      Delete
    8. To know is to be able to define. Having "thought of it before" is not a definition of knowing that I agree with. I mean, for example, all integers are "known" to us, all digits of the decimal representation of pi are not. All terms of the sequence where the nth term is 2n are known, all the terms of an uncomputable sequence like nth term is the number of babies born in year n AD are not.

      tl;dr I believe known = computable, you evidently believe known = computed

      I was going for "I know at least as many integers as you", not necessarily exactly as many, although you're right that would disprove the original as well.

      Considering closure, it either yields itself or a different member of the group. I can't see what you mean.

      Delete
    9. If known = computable then all the decimal digits of pi are known but all the real numbers are not.

      In fact, the digits of pi are more known in any real sense than "all the numbers", because there *is* some formula for establishing each decimal digit of pi. But there is no way of "computing" all real numbers - they are uncountable.

      Your group comment seemed to be vacuous beyond "I know something about group terminology". For if you know any member n of the group then you also trivially know n op n as it is (possibly another) one of those members.

      Delete
    10. I was very careful not to claim that "all the numbers" were somehow known, so don't put words in my mouth. I only talked about countably infinite sets. Also, pi itself is non algebraic and irrational, so the formula you're talking about has to be an approximation method that can calculate the value to within a non zero error.

      You're right though, if your number is in an uncountable set I don't know it. My example was specifically for integers and other countable sets.

      "For if you know any member n of the group then you also trivially know n op n as it is (possibly another) one of those members."
      Yes, by the same token knowing n+1 given n is exactly as trivial, which is to say not trivial at all. Again, I was demonstrating I know at least as many numbers, not exactly as many, which is why I went to the trouble of outlining how I could compute an additional member of the group for any group.

      Delete
    11. 0. If I can with 100% certainty obtain the digit then it doesn't matter what sort of formula I'm using.

      1. I asserted that I know more numbers than you. If you're going to read assumptions into that, you have to either state them or expect me to take you in good faith as trying to tackle the problem as presented.

      2. Anyway, you specifically talked about "any other non finite group". This includes the additive group of real numbers (R,+), where the members of R are uncountable. So you weren't only talking about countably infinite sets at all.

      3. "Exactly as many" implies "at least as many".

      4. What is not trivial about knowing n+1 given n?

      tl;dr I still know more numbers than you.

      Delete
    12. 0. You cannot with 100% certainty obtain all digits. Read my last comment. The error is non zero. You can achieve an arbitrary degree of accuracy but not absolute accuracy.

      1,2. Yes I agree, I should have explicitly stated the specific case I was looking at. I overlooked uncountable sets when thinking of the proof.

      3. No. The set of possibilities covered by "exactly as many" is a subset of the possibilities covered by "at least as many". "At least as many" => "exactly as many" OR "more"

      4. The fact that you know one more number than the other person.

      tl;dr Yes, good job.

      Delete
    13. 0. There are infinite digits therefore you'd need infinite time to obtain all of them, but you *can* with 100% certainty obtain any of them - and, with infinite time, all of them.

      Perhaps you are saying that any particular iteration of some program you have in mind will only give a certain precision, but that doesn't matter - you just view that program as a subroutine to a larger program which repeatedly calls it requesting higher precision. But there are algorithms which add terms or whatever to repeatedly obtain known better precision, so even that's unnecessary.

      Let's see what else you could have meant by recalling what you said:

      "all integers are known to us, all digits of the decimal representation of pi are not."

      You clearly didn't mean "all integers can be written down in a finite amount of time", did you? We have a very simple formula for obtaining all the integers too, but you'd need to run the algorithm (not, then, perhaps strictly an algorithm) forever to get them all. IOW, in finite time you can only list all the integers "to an arbitrary degree of accuracy but not absolute accuracy".

      3. My argument: a in S, S subset T => a in T. Your argument: b in T, S subset T => b may be in S but maybe not. I'm not sure what your point is, but it's not contradicted mine. Perhaps you were keen to show that T contains some elements not in S. But you haven't shown that. You've merely shown a hypothetical candidate for an unspecified number.

      4. To be absolutely clear: you haven't proven that I don't know n+1.

  6. Alright, I'm bored with Randall's What Ifs. They're all the same thing. "Leaving aside the laws of physics long enough to create an impossible situation, here's what the reinstated laws of physics say could happen" Yawn. Since we apparently need magic to create the What If scenarios in the first place, who's to say the wizard's spell couldn't have safeguards to prevent all the death and destruction Randy envisions?

    That's the other thing. Every secenario plays out with ridiculously hyperbolic destructive forces. Tsunami force jets of superheated plasma. Hurricanes of blood. Tornadoes of antimatter. Supervolcanos erupting birdshit at supersonic speeds. Faster than light shockwaves generated by the thermonuclear decomposition of small mammals. The entire population of the world trampled to death by the AI-enhanced buses of the Providence transport system.

    Were you looking for a joke? Here you go. Michael Bay is a bad film-maker and his movies are chock full of ridiculous destructive scenarios. Ha-ha. It's so funny, Randall used it once in 748, based his entire What If series off of aping (his vision of) Michael Bay, then brought it up again explicitly in What If #10.

    1. I have decided that if Randy were really an Engineering On An Epic Scale geek, he'd be spending his time What If'ing with stuff like this guy has in his backyard. If he actually built/refurbished engines like these but also wrote a comic in which he described his adventures or what he would do if life were a little bit different, I would be impressed. I wouldn't even care that this Wesley Crusher wannabe can't draw or that he can't tell even old jokes for shit.

      In fact, I was trawling Youtube last night and it's amazing how amateur engineers can produce a quality product. And, at the risk of conflict of interest, I always find it interesting to note how many of these guys are radio hams. There's an underlying philosophy of doing something not because it's easy and not because it makes money, but because it's an intellectual and manual challenge. Like JFK said before he was assassinated - although that cunt obviously included Vietnam in the "but because they are hard" category.

    5. Randy's aptitude for scientific method is on par with that of Mythbusters. They perform an experiment, find it boring, then proceed to introduce obscene amounts of energy through one form or another, culminating in: "LOL ASPLOSIONS"
      This is ok for Mythbusters, because they're engineers and entertainers, not scientists, and you respect them for the expertise and time it takes to physically set up the experiments and inevitable explosions. Randall sits at home and wildly speculates on the behaviour under impossible scenarios of systems that he read two Wikipedia articles on.

    The parents of the obese give their children everything the child desires - food wise that is. The children are happy!
    The parents of the obese also keep their fat offspring safe from predators. As far as I can tell, there are no chubby-chasing paedophiles lurking about and 'fugly' teens are never raped!

    4. Probably not for long. You were forgotten within the month last time, and surely you've noticed that your impact this time around has been somewhat less profound. There were moments when you even made out to be coveting esteem, which really let down your prior display of unflappable self reliance. However, I think most of your problem (if it can be considered such) stems from most of this blog's remaining audience not being the envious type. Those with delusions regarding their own worth left long ago.

      Where I really feel let down, however, is that my private theory of weaselsoup being an intentional inversion of your traits never played out. I had noticed that everything making you unlikable were reversed to make her likable (her gentle participation as opposed to your slipshod arrogance, her sexual frustration ie. availability as opposed to your sexual assertiveness ie. unavailability, etc.), and I sat back waiting for a grand culmination which never arrived. All we got was a washed out repeat of the first incursion, the experience of which was similar to the flavour of a vanilla diet milkshake immediately after consuming a packet of icing sugar. My expectations here were perhaps too high, but it was still disappointing.

    SLIP-SHOD (adjective)

    1. careless, untidy, or slovenly: slipshod work.

    "......Where I really feel let down, however, is that my private theory of weaselsoup being an intentional inversion of your traits never played out....."

    If by 'played out' you mean 'came to fruition' and if by 'let down' you mean 'disappointed', I can understand your concern. The discovery that you have improperly formulated, ostensibly because of your lack of intellectual acumen, a correct private theory must be traumatic for you.

    8. An NGO is NG. The method of incorporation is a tax detail.

      Maybe it's a language problem? "Corporate welfare" is where the government pays money to private business to do work which i) it could do itself; ii) probably doesn't need doing anyway; and iii) certainly doesn't cost *that* much to do.

      The behaviour of a (com)pliant government is epitomised by The Spitting Image 1987 Election Special in which businessmen celebrate that Britain is about to be handed over to them like so many Philistine foreskins.

  18. Best suicide method?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Shooting your medulla oblongata from the back of your skull with a high caliber, modern, clean, and well maintained gun is the most painless and guaranteed way to kill yourself. If you can't acquire a gun, then your most guaranteed option would be to jump from a heigh of at least 40m and drop with your head against a solid concrete floor, however, this method has the downside of being far too dramatic and conspicuous.
      -
      If you are afraid of shocking too much the people that will find your corpse and want a clean death, then you have two good options:
      1º - Hanging - Only try it if you can make a good hangman's knot and tie it to something tall and sturdy. Practice it with objects that have the same weigh as you before you actually give it a go. Here's a video tutorial on how to make a hangman's knot:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7WCzFbrD3E
      2º - Asphyxia by Carbon Monoxide - All you have to do here is lock yourself inside an airtigh room (if you need to improvise the airtighting, don't make a rushed job with masking tape, instead; use clay putty and take your time to truly seal all the air passages) and burn a good amount of coal inside it. Don't worry for it won't hurt the least bit.
      -
      If you do, however, possess a shitload of balls and want to suicide like a man you can always simply grab a kitchen knife and proceed to sever your femoral arteries, stab yourself in the aorta and finish with a deep cut in the carotids. But be warned that the pain will break all but the strongest of will.

      A country happy to buy from the China state corporation will be as happy to buy from something even more resembling John Company.

    13. And since when is being ruled by sellout bigwig lobbymongers a form of democratic input? US goverment already owns it's balls to a wealthy network of private interests (just look at Iraq, Lybia, ACTA, NDAA, EESA, PATRIOT and all those other stupid things that US wouldn't have done if it really were a democratic and constitutional goverment) and because of that it acts as a inverted Robin Wood, it takes away the money of the poor with it's unbalanced tax system and gives it to the rich through the guise of bullshit such as "foreing aid", "public healthcare", "national security" and "bailouts". The people at the bottom of the food chain would do much better without a big goverment.

    14. This sure is an exciting exchange of the same old tired rhetoric that everybody has heard before. It is the debate to end all debates.

    15. Like I said. There is always big government. All that matters is the extent of democratic input.

      My father was born in the middle of a civil war and brought up under a dictatorship. Only a spoilt child would compare somewhere like that to the misbehaviour of the modern US.

      But one thing is true: the more you call for privatisation of government, the more you will get private interests stepping in without democratic oversight. There will always be something in a position of power, so the aim is to make that something controlled as far as possible by you, the people.
