On Whether or Not Non-Gravitational Interaction Can Occur in the Absence of Gravity by Shawn Halayka

Oh yeah, running some DNA sequences through a Perl regular expression parser is NOT an example of biology-centric type safety, sorry.

Apparently no one's impressed with my corporate/academic viper impersonation. :(

I even did it without making my lips move, and everything. :(

Wow, that actually makes sense... because the biggest Mathematica fan that I know just loves to call people crackpots and pretend that the current academic trend in sadomasochism is a sign of genius (and not a sign that you need a psychiatrist). LOL. Yep, you're a rock star buddy. Keep dreamin.

Extra corporate viper points if you pose for pictures with your Mac because you believe that the image of a $1600 hunk of metal will convince the masses that you think differently. Bwahahahaahahahahaahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

SAMO.

Simply discarding wrong or incomplete theories is not the goal. It is more subtle than that -- more like steering, or guiding, or assisting. It's certainly not about yelling "You're a stupid crackpot" at the AI user; it's more about the love of learning than that.

Plus, one's work using the AI need not always, or ever, be in a public state (in the collective unconscious); it could be protected or private, insomuch that some theories may never be seen by anyone but a group of, or, a single author, and so the judgement of the value of one's use of the AI -- as judged by the AI -- need never be known to the world.

And there can be filters, of course. You wouldn't want just anyone climbing all over that brand new standardized network and leaving a trail of permanent graffiti, right arxiv?

Hey, the professional stalkers could always use something like this too, seeing how they just hate to skewer their own kind with plagiarism charges.

News vipers!

Wow, Springer has:

"Service Oriented Computing and Applications"

"Journal of Cloud Computing"

"Distributed and Parallel Databases"

"New Generation Computing"

"Distributed Computing"

LOL. Why the systemic disarray and general presence of pig patootie? Because corporate pigs just love it when their sty is ultra messy.

And here you clowns are fighting to open the flood gates and let all the patootie run all over the farmyard -- oh, but you're very specific about what kind of patootie you'll accept, because you're very astute connoisseurs of patootie -- instead of JUST CLEANING UP YOUR DISGUSTING MESS and start living like humans.

This would not be a problem if you were doing the collective unconscious right, but you just can't see past your snouts for long enough to get your patootie together. Yep, keep pretending that CS&F wasn't a self-indictment.

Prestige is a mental illness, and it's clearly a problem, in case you're just not homing in on the message.

Non-professional, same as me, Shawn Halayka,

"Prestige is a mental illness..." Or, prestige is earned, deserved, and reacted to graciously by the earner who may exhibit one or more positive traits that produce results that empower others. What is clear is that it is bestowed upon one by others. Those others must ultimately include professionals.

The answers you need are all pretty much outlined somewhere in the 1994/1995 volumes of Dr. Dobbs. Look for cubes. I assume you're not too proud to read something low-brow like a comp sci magazine.

Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for the critique. Unlike the physicists, your comment has actual substance -- congratulations.

You are presumptuous to think that I am not a physicist.

Hi James,

Believe it or not, this isn't actually personal, or wasn't in the beginning anyway -- I'm more referring to the prestige attached to culture, more so than prestige afforded to any one human individual. The difference is subtle.

I mean, when I get junvenile comments from others that imply that I'm somewhat jealous of the prestige afforded to other individuals, I have to wonder if they're really so blind to think that I'm somehow brown-nosing? Yeah, that's it. All I care about is these people cleaning up their toys, because the sad, sorry state of it is indeed totally screwing over everyone who is beyond minimally trans-human (and that's a lot more people than you think). Oops, did I ruin my chance for a grant? Aw, shucks.

I know that some people here think that I'm singing off key, but fortunately I have the future on my side and all they have is extinction. Aw, shucks.

You're presumptuous to think that you just didn't prove my point.

LOL. The Wikipedia page on trans-humanity makes it sound like a physicist and an anthropologist cracked the concept of trans-humanity wide open in 2007.

Maybe if they were low-brow enough to read the newspaper, they would have read about it in The National Post's Saturday arts section in the late, late 1990s... Like I did, when I was making a living at dishing out the best ice cream cones north of the border, evar.

What a bunch of posers.

The mathematical notation is to save paper and ink, to reduce redundancy.

We don't need actual paper for this kind of work, for one. Plus, you can keep the redundancy (or lack thereof) as is. When you read a "paper", you should be able to rip apart the equations and tinker with them, right on the spot. Right now when you click on a formula in a paper, you don't get this kind of exploratory power.

Object-oriented, relational, standardized data isn't just about slapping your code into some classes and writing your text in Unicode. It's about utterly destroying all of the book-centric thinking that doesn't provide any actual benefit in a connected, electronic age. The current topology is not appropriate. Increasing the complexity of the topology doesn't need to amount to utter chaos if proper standardization is applied.

We can work on eliminating "natural" languages later. Baby steps.

There are people who are perfectly intelligent and capable, but they are being thwarted by the state of things. It's pretty much like trying to pick your nose while wearing boxing gloves. No wonder why most people give up, and take pleasure in announcing their mathematical illiteracy -- they're not masochists. You can label them all you like as "crackpots", or "lazy", or just "downright intellectually inferior", but you're not really fooling anyone over the age of 30. The prestige that you afford yourself, while pretending to be an innovator in public outreach, is simply insulting. It's just the same old blah blah blah.
