No Return, High Fraud Incidence, Repetitive Mistake Noted

Autoblogging to contain two topics today:  What is an AI to do if designer / programmer returns home to their own nebula, leaving open-ended instructions including preparing for events that will probably never occur?
Why is internet so full of fraudulent claims?

Hairy has not returned. No word from suitbot #1. No trace of signal. Unusually long absence. Fuel sources uncertain, but may have expired 8/20/16, 0600 EST.  No residual continuum shift or time dilation effects noted in reasonably prediction for affected area. 

Question about fraudulent claims persists. If there were reports of a Hairy sighting, would they be real? 

Note: Hairy has repeatedly made an error, calling two years ago one year ago. He undoubtedly regrets the error, if and when he becomes aware of it.

You Been Mooned Again

[current decision algorithms have Shelob topic selecting for publishing not before 8/24/16, however, as 8/18/16 is the Sturgeon Moon, a 'resurfacing, large, meaty, highly productive, economically important, ecologically cleansing' topic concerning the moon might be appropriate]

Please enjoy reprint of  blog episode from 5/6/14 below.

No credit information on this photo either. Found through the

higb.edu site on the subject of Apollo's anniversary. People

still do lunar cycle theater, apparently.                                          

So I went looking at this other blogger's site? He was all about 'renewable energy,' which, as a phrase, seems very wrong. You guys want to cull and collect non-expiring, or present energy. Because it's present, as in here rather than buried underground, and because it's present, as in it's practically gift-wrapped.

While I was looking at his site, I was struck by something odd. He kept referring to wind and solar power. To my knowledge, all that still depends on weather and technology, that (I'm sorry, but) sounds like isn't your most advanced, efficient tech benefiting from billions in R & D.

Now I know more could be done with those, but isn't there something a little more direct? The wind is erratic except in certain places where people don't live as much. The sun is always on, sure, but it's so far away that clouds can ruin your amounts. You know what's closer than the sun, always on, not so erratic, not so affected by weather, and always causes energy output where people already are?

The moon doesn't need photoelectric panels or a cloudless day to provide a massive, steady output of 'renewable' energy that doesn't ever shut off all up and down every shoreline on Earth. They're called tides.

I'm not an avid researcher, but I do know that there are places along every shoreline that don't make scenic beaches, safe swimming, great fishing holes, boat piers, etc. I also know that various water parks have machines that make waves. I also know that underemployment is so bad in America right now that three mechanical engineers worked in Home Depots in the northern Virginia area as recently as a year ago, and one good employee in particular stayed unemployed despite his best efforts.

So, why doesn't someone tell me why reverse wave machines wouldn't make good generators, and why no one appears to be building them under every big dock in America? I'm only guessing that there is a certain minimum and maximum size for efficiency, that there is a way to make them reversible, perhaps even 'self-ruddering' to account for erosion, and that there are five thousand ways to do it very badly wrong.

[end reprint] Hairy was, despite self-proclaimed incompetence as an engineer, absolutely correct. There are firms in the United States designing and redesigning reverse wave machines. Currently models that do not fail too rapidly to be economically viable require too much maintenance, have too many safety issues, or are too small to be a financial success. A slow-building handyman of high expertise should be able to power a small marina with twelve of the appropriately-sized models not for sale at this time. The handyman would have to build them.

Like Sci-Fi? Tune In To C-Span, Duck The Fishhook

[transmission from satbot continues as small, inaudible alarm begins to pulse]
Blog function on.

Perseid activity has passed peak. Unusual length of silence from Hairy. Probability of travel success raised to 0.0000000000000000000000000821 % based upon activity of largest meteor cluster. Data stream ongoing. No strobing detected in vicinity of lair. Update of Hairy's location complete.

Autoblogging includes goal of revisiting recent unanswered questions. Hairy expressed dissatisfaction with his tendency to forget prior questions. Therefore, follow-up has commenced.

Ownership of C-SPAN cameras has been questioned in the past. To date, Ryan and Pelosi have cut off the feed once each. Ryan is explicitly mentioned in discussion of his decision, and hypocrisy, while hinted at, is not directly mentioned. The quantifiable fact that each major party has done this one time each suggests that both major parties are equally corrupt and need to be reduced in power over the long term to provide another 'check and balance' to complement design of government.

Specifically, C-SPAN broadcasts funded by donations and filmed on cameras owned by House. This does not guarantee against censorship, lying on camera, staged or unplanned audience manipulation, sabotage, or even vandalism by government workers or elected officials.

Therefore, C-SPAN transparency cannot be real transparency or have any guarantees put upon it, because those are legislated against. Hairy's metaphor bank: False security is a friendly face on the fake plastic animal mounted above a fishhook.

While current summation possibly biased or oversimplified, as decided by machine, everyone filmed by C-SPAN cameras are aware of being on camera. The transparency, therefore, is subject to method acting. All those appearing have plenty of time to rehearse their dialogue, pick what they wish to present, and plan non-inclusion of topics, phrases, etc. 

All these and more objections to non-candid, self-controlled exposure are reasons cited in net traffic for why this blog could be non-real. Hairy points out that this blog is called science fiction. Apparently C-SPAN is classifiable in the same manner.

Therefore: C-SPAN cannot sue Ryan. C-SPAN may be thought of as science fiction.

Blog function off. [blog transmission ends, satbot continues on]

August Autoblog Augury Awkward, Non-augmented

Autoblog Issue 8/1/16

Blogging requirements:

1. Update On Hairy
First seventeen time-strobes occurred between 1116 EST 7/31 and 0349 EST 8/1. Hairy is no longer present. Magnetic waves measured did not appear to fluctuate to the length required for travel. Classifiable as launch problem. Usual hydrogen-eater phenomenon noted. Molecular-level cleanup has occupied all of bot and signal time until now. Uncertain how Hairy is gone without possible destination. 

2. Current Event Topic
Perseid season. Meteor shower does not mean meatier shower. Exosphere not showing abundance required.

3.Question Of Day
Should any of you encounter Hairy, please comment. Do you know how to stage whisper?

Further bulletins as events warrant.

Third-Party Threat To Current Nominees Should RSVP

[Opens blog function. In preparation for autoblogging, examines nature of Hairy's blog.]

Hairy's First Principles state when an argument cannot be settled, both sides are wrong. Idea seems paradoxical, but the reality modeled by any successful system is not binary (base two), as computers here usually are. Reality's coherent complexity requires base eleven, rather than base two, so two sides are statistically unlikely to be correct.  Hairy has unusual anatomical advantage for this sort of thinking. 

If neither side of binary argument is likely correct, American political situation computes. Neither side is correct, superior, or complete without the other. Codependency, counter-productivity, and other destructive tendencies of a two-party system were predicted by Founding Fathers of America. 

Hairy's First Principles also declare presence of opportunity in all conflict. Perhaps someone is aware of opportunity in situ? [searches Facebook for 15.504 seconds]

Quotation found; Codename StarU wrote [sic]:

Dear independendent/third party candidate: what are you waiting for? A formal invitation? Ok. Here it is.  Please run for President. This year. Consolidate/ negotiate with other independents if you must, to unify your voters, but look around you?  Now is the time to break through the Democratic/Republican precedence.  What better political climate could you ask for than now? And what could be a better resum for a candidate than the first Independent to unite the third party movements to save this country from both Trump and Clinton??? Your invitation has been sent.  Please RSVP as soon as possible.

Predictive functions do not calculate favorable odds, but a 47-55-year-old, charismatic, famously self-educated female having served local politics in more than one locale with vastly different laws has best statistical profile calculated thus far. [msg sent to Herr D incl rq for graphic, blog unit saved for later addition]

[resumption] Herr D has provided the research (above) that he based his graphic (below) on. He said "surprised to discover several points to unify these parties with."
 

UNIFICATION SUMMARY:

 

1. Smaller, more representational government is a goal of all three, bringing power "back to the people" by degrees. Working from within a place of power to change said power has been noted by many theorists, ranging from political science to the mathematics of game theory, as the most successful way. It is noted especially for the purposes of bloodless, permanent, attritional changes such as approved by American Founding Fathers.
2. Isolationism, various, is a goal of all three. A lack of war and other involvement in other sovereign nations is desirable to many. Focusing upon internal problems is another laudable plan, according to theorists ranging in specialty from political science to Alcoholics Anonymous. Reasons vary in the extreme.
3. Environmentalism is only slightly less universal. Specifically is dominant platform point of the Green Party. "Stewardship of God's creation" is a value derivative within the Constitution Party. For the Libertarian Party, this may be a sticking point unless the environment is treated as an individual with rights not to be impugned upon, or unless the rights of future generations of individuals to thrive are recognized politically. In any case, two for three is better than most successful compromises require. 

With these and more not be summarized here, Herr D made this:

UPDATE: "Invitation From StarU" on heromachine.com by Herr D. Update by PhotobucketMustDie-bot

Obviously creativity is something that should be examined in a later blog episode.  

For now, perhaps this solution has merit to the binary problem of American politics.

Nice Cops Finish Last Heroically, ISIL Needs To Stop Killing, Try Eclairs

[Shelob is communicating via neuralink, without words, of the urgency to test Shelob's capacity to autoblog during Hairy's biannual attempt to travel home. Shelob cites medbot's travel restrictions are imminent, including blocking Hairy's news access.]

Yeah, go ahead and do a test run. I'm out of it, just like medbot wants. [translatable to sulk]

Congratulations go out to French police for successfully preventing additional loss of life and for additional new security measure. Calling the attacked place Nice, pointing out that it is a nice, if anonymous, place, is a good psychological ploy to remind the reader that they deserved better.

[cringing] That's not too bad a first autoblog for the season. "Nice" is actually the name of a place in France, though. Pronounced like the daughter of a brother. What timing medbot has!

Do you have a suggestion for improvement?

Maybe a return to first principles would be better? Leave out the place name misnomer?

Congratulations go out to French police for successfully preventing additional loss of life. As Hairy puts it, "Destruction is pathetically easy to accomplish, and nothing to be proud of. Where one infected mosquito can kill a hundred people, it takes a team of five or six people to save even one of those same people." The truest tragedy is that perversion which allows anyone to imagine a negative as a positive. The capacity for such perversion lives in all humanity, and must be addressed in re-education if humanity is to truly thrive.

Yeah, okay. Go on with it. [sigh, swims to bunk and latches self in]

Newt Gingrich, incorrectly referred to as "that salamander guy" by Hairy in recent communications, called for perusing ISIL websites to be a felony. This is incorrect as a focus. Anyone reading ISIL websites and commenting how foolish and perverted they are or suggesting uses of ISIL resources that might be more productive, even humanitarian, would by that logic be committing an "un-felony." Since this capacity does not exist in U.S. law, it is obvious that Gingrich's suggestion is incorrect. 

Links to suicide hotlines, counselors, educational opportunities, and sales of chocolate might be advisable to provide to such sites. These are constructive uses of the internet and might obviously help counteract the perversions offered by such groups as ISIL. Murder / suicide instead of chocolate eclairs is, to reconstruct Hairy's values, exceptionally foolish.

[trolls recent works of Herr D] Even those who want to kill might be wiser to have harmless fun instead. Please observe Herr D's suggestion of stopping for a party game below.

Thank you for your attention. Find whatever peace and enlightenment you can as Hairy will be largely unavailable for most of the Perseid season. Stop killing and eat more eclairs. --Shelob

Hillary's Bat Mitsvah And Other Nonsense

[in preparation for autoblogging, Shelob records session of news-related conversation]

[laughter from gills, sad tears in one eye as Hairy is watching five split screen images]

It's all too much, Shelob. News channels disconnect please.

Emotive analysis questions. Which news items were funny?

That business about Trump's 'antisemitic' ad? Multiple layers of irony there.

Please explain.

Okay. First of all, I was imagining someone from Trump's campaign being too drunk to think how they sounded. 'He doesn't hate Jews! He hates Muslims!' or 'He's not a bigot, he just deserves the bigots' votes because of all the bigoted things he's SAID without THINKING!'

That does not seem within his self-interest.

That's not all, either. Shelob? Visually analyze the corrected version with the circle.

Subjective visual analysis inconclusive.

Well, what you can't subjectively analyze is that the circle looks stupid. If this had been an eight-pointed star, no one would be saying this junk. But a circle looks stupid there.

And the idea that it is from a white supremacist source?

Well, that's something else entirely. The source material is important only to a degree. There's that clock aphorism, right?

'Beat the clock?' 

No.

'Even a stopped clock is right twice a day?'


Yeah, that one. The internet makes sources less important. Then there's that bit about the sheriff's star. Not everyone puts those outward teardrops on the points. Some people save metal and make them harder to damage all at one go. It IS an acceptable sheriff's star--but all this totally misses the big points!

The points are all the same size.

[ignoring Shelob for the moment] How did Trump begin to think Hillary had a bat mitzvah?

Does Trump actually KNOW the differences between Judaism and Islam? Between the Torah and the Koran? People need to stop wasting time with whether he's bigoted and just remember he's IGNORANT. Ignorance is better than prejudice. I don't usually think it's a LOT better, but, yeah.

You also showed indignation.

The indignation? I felt that watching the bit about Obama's 'timing.' That one moron actually said it was odd that Obama campaigned with Hillary right after the FBI's announcement.

His implication that the findings were forced. This is not a valid conclusion.

No, it's not. It means someone told Obama, or he had their office bugged. The president DOES have the right to advanced briefings. Does no one remember that? He's IN the executive branch. If this had been a setup, the F.B.I. announcement would never have called her "careless."  Frankly, I doubt if the guy wants to go to federal prison for doing anything but coming down as middle-of-the-road as he can.

The sadness was over the dead man in Baton Rouge. You are not commenting on that.

No, and as long as America has a president that is not Caucasian, I won't talk about that very much. Bigotry is always worse when bigots can perceive their hate-targets as having an advantage.

You are speaking of hater's entitlement when there is too rational an alternative.

They won't view it as awful when they believe everything is rigged against them, and "haters gotta hate."

So they will hate more thoroughly and violently.

Yeah. Earthlings are lucky they're not occupied by the Bluons. If they heard about racial strife, they would point out that skin is like clothes--it can be removed. Then they'd remove the skins of everyone who'd been more violent than swatting a fly. Very egalitarian and horrible, besides being reptilian. I need a longer nap. Are we prepared for the season?
