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

[deleted]

Given the discordance between the actual solution and the attempted pseudo-implementation (the all-but-total annihilation of CS&F and a few papers talking about nothing particularly important), only a slime mold would be dumb enough to be tricked into thinking that you had a clue about what the actual state of things are. So yep, you just keep writing copious amounts of blog posts about "crackpots" and pretend like you were all about being part of the solution -- I'm absolutely not sorry that I "stole" your idea (well, Shannon and Jung and Russell's idea, actually) and made it into something that is actually useful and coherent.

Is that not the definition of professional ruin?

+1 crackpot point for not seeing the forest for the trees because you're too busy chasing after phantom squirrels!

[deleted]

-1 crackpot point for setting the whole thing on fire because it's not worth saving!

[deleted]

+1 crackpot point for pretending that your critique of CS&F wasn't a self-indictment.

[deleted]

10^10 crackpot points for pretending that dishonest, sassy facetiousness is civility.

What a bunch of posers.

Come to think of it, I doubt that Mathematica is really on the right path to the future. Functionality-wise, it's pretty impressive, but altogether it's really just about collecting money from academia, and so it would not be in Mathematica's best interest for the future to arrive. It's like Microsoft, but without the actual philanthropy and progression of humanity.

What a bunch of posers.

I like Sage (sagemath.org), because you can tell that they're not total corporate pigs.

Not posers.

[deleted]

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.

[deleted]

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

[deleted]

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

[deleted]

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

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.

[deleted]

News vipers!

[deleted]

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.

[deleted]

LOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation

Lipstick on a pig.

[deleted]

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.

Hi Anonymous,

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

[deleted]

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

[deleted]

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.

[deleted]

Who is 'your':

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

If it is me, say so!

Hi James,

I was replying to the anonymous comment when I said that. Apologies for the confusion. I do appreciate your input, unless you two are one and the same. :P

Thank you Shawn,

I am not Anonymous. I always intend to sign my name even if I might forget to add my name in the 'Your name: Box'. I sign my messages James, and more recently James Putnam in order to not be confused with another James who may wish to express their opinion. Here is the link to the How-to-post-links-page:
