- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 2 days ago:
Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something. That’s a common thought but a provably untrue one.
For example, there are infinite even numbers, and none of them are 3. Not a single one. If someone claimed that generating infinite even numbers would eventually return a 3, you wouldn’t take them seriously, and rightly so.
But here’s the rub: you can also generate infinite even numbers and never return a 2. Every time you generate an even number, there are infinite numbers that it could be. Even if you don’t allow numbers to repeat, it’s not like you are gonna exhaust the amount of non-2 even numbers.
Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something.
So back to the typewriters. You might say that while there are infinite numbers, there are not infinite permutations of a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare.
And that’s true.
If you were to say that a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare (or longer) could never be repeated exactly, the yes they would type the works of Shakespeare.
But then they wouldn’t be typing randomly.
Randomness repeats. Infinite randomness can repeat infinitely.
And we are not dealing with strings of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare. We’re dealing with strings of characters of infinite length. And there are, in fact, infinite permutations of those.
So… Yeah.
There’s no logical basis for infinite monkeys typing infinitely, producing the works of Shakespeare. Or fecal dioramas or alternate universes or whatever else. Doesn’t hold water.

You’re assuming that it’s a reanimated animal

I genuinely have NO clue if this game is known, but i suspect it isnt.
It’s Keyboard Drumset Fucking Werewolf! It’s like a music video, but it’s a music video game. It’s a collaboration between 2000s indie weirdo darling cactus and Swedish synthpunk band Fucking Werewolf ASSO, who you’ve also likely never heard of.
it’s aggressively strange and moderately challenging, but I think it’s just a goddamn delight and maybe you will too.

Absolutely, I consider it all one series and read them all together. Silk for caldé!
- Comment on Crab vibes 7 months ago:
I first read it when I was like 15, tapped out in book 3.
Read it again as an adult, enjoyed it immensely, still missed a great deal of what was happening.
Third time I started to really start to plug into what Gene was laying down.
I’ve read it maybe 6 times now and I pick up new details and meanings every time.
Obviously that’s a whole lot if you don’t find value in the journey itself, and it’s not like I’m recommending it or anything haha. I always tell people to start with his short stories. The Island Of Doctor Death And Other Stories is a great one.

You could say that the amount of time it would take for an interstellar trip at non-FTL speeds is also not exactly trivial.
We can sort of try to imagine how technology could develop in tens of thousands of years, but that’s about all we can do.

Mm yes they definitely stole this decades old concept from 2014’s Elite Dangerous.
