Stuff I sent to Jake re Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace:Įnjoyed the movie immensely. The twirly-mustachioed calcium carbonate!Īm I so lazy that all future NYCB entries are going to be extractedĪnd edited parts of emails I sent? I don't know. The twirly-mustachioed Rudolph Longtooth! With a roll of wrapping paper, having to wrap a birthday present for someone. Tiny shreds of mangled flesh, but it might. IĬan't promise that it will blow Jake's Birthday Party into This is because today I was reading a Web page about Ulysses.Īlso, Jake, I'm starting work on your 1999 birthday present. I just cross-referenced that to a Garrison Keillor monologue about a guy who spent his whole life cataloguing every word in Ulysses and just as he was finished they found the lost "Minnesota" monologue which goes on page 4 and puts all the guy's page numbers out of whack. I never said I wanted to actually catalogue and cross-reference every cultural reference and running joke ever made on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I just want to design the database and Web front-end. You want to hear my idea that Peter thinks is crazy? My idea is toĭesign a database and Web front-end for exhaustively cataloguingĪnd cross-referencing every cultural reference and running jokeĮver made on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I do know, however, that this set of effectively decidable relations grows smaller with every second that passes and every action you take. Possibly we could formalize this with an information-theoreticĪrgument relating the amount of information in the universe with the amount of information required for a decision procedure, but I don't know any information theory. Even if we posessed mighty quantum computers which shredded exponential time, there are 2^2^2^2^2^2^2.^n-time decision procedures which we would never be able to run. Of the universe will occur before any decision procedure finishes.Īnything not in the set of such relations, even if decidable, wouldīe effectively undecidable in this universe. Which in a very real sense we cannot actually decide because the heat-death What I brought up was let's take this to its logical conclusion.
