Here is our monthly place to discuss Less Wrong topics that have not appeared in recent posts.
Topics that have appeared in recent posts are strictly forbidden upon pain of 3^^^3 dust specks in your eye.
Would you hurt me if I pointed out that G_1 is actually 3^^^^3, not 3^^^3?
No, I wouldn’t hurt you—but I would send you to your room with only Knuth up-arrows for dinner.
Are 3^^^3 dust specks enough dust specks to cause the universe to collapse rather than expand or has the expansion moved beyond even the theoretic influence of gravity?
There’s no actual dust specks—we just wire dust-speck-simulating punitive cybernetic components into your nervous system and run ’em 3^^^3 times.
Well, someone’s eye.
No, all in the offender’s eye—I have it on good authority that it’s worse than 50 years of torture.
What’s 3^^^3? I take it more than 27.
If memory serves me, that’s using Knuth’s up-arrow notation.
What it works out to is 3^3^3^3^(… seven trillion more exponents here …)^3^3^3.
It’s a large number.
