Well, folks, this one is going to be boring for most of you. But the
\ncompression jackass, Jules “Julie-baby-dumbass” Gilbert has been repeatedly
\nbugging me. And today, he replied to my latest “fuck off and stop sending me
\nmail” with a long-winded proselytizing response in which he requested that I
\nbe courteous and not publicize the discussion of his “work”.<\/p>\n
Fuck that<\/p>\n
The entire correspondence is below.<\/p>\n
Before I get to it: the short summary of what Jules is doing The catch is, of course, you can’t un-compress it without re-introducing You can’t un-compress his stuff without knowing how many times the compressor Ok. On to the transcript.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On August 11, he sent me the following (which was already in Hi Mark,<\/p>\n I’m the guy you don’t believe.<\/p>\n Well I have a question for you… What can I expect once you do believe me? I know what I want. I want a personal favor. I don’t care about a retraction, no, what I want is for you to do yourself! a I’m pretty confident that in the next few weeks you’ll read that I have demonstrated my program, not just once, but again and again, to several people. And the demos will be done under “severe” circumstances, two machines connected by a floppy, etc…<\/p>\n So now, my favor…<\/p>\n I want you to read the Bible. That’s it.<\/p>\n I know, we live in a world that is incredibly corrupt — as soon as I wrote about “wanting a personal favor” I thought — he’ll think, but no. I want you to read the Bible.<\/p>\n If you are agreeable to this I will arrange for people I don’t know, actual strangers, to be in touch with you to verify the facts surrounding the demonstrations. Also, if you have someone in New England you would to suggest to attend, by all means, suggest away. <\/p>\n I am afraid that I am not a fan of Google. They are gay-friendly and also they suppressed lot’s of stuff about Obama before he was nominated, and again, before he was elected. So, if you please, no one from Google is welcome. Yes, I know, I use their net-mail.<\/p>\n I don’t like MS either — I admit, I’m pretty much an iconoclast. (If you worked for MS I’d be even less receptive.)<\/p>\n Mark, I know, you think I’m a fraud. And it is true that I have not made million’s in my career as a CS researcher. For years I worked as a consultant, doing compiler work and AI, and I made some great stuff but though I made a few VC deal’s, I never made million’s at one time. <\/p>\n So several years ago I identified repeatable compression as an interesting work area and have taken my time. But now I am trying to harvest what I have. <\/p>\n I hope you are well. If you are not, just disregard this note. But if someday you want to write me I will always be open to whatever you want to tell me.<\/p>\n Your friend,<\/p>\n Jules Gilbert<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I replied on the 11th:<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n First of all: you are *not* my friend. You are a despicable schmuck who has no idea of what the fuck he’s talking about. I decide who my friends are, and regardless of what you think, you aren’t part of that group.<\/p>\n Second – What makes you think that I *haven’t* read the bible? I’m a religious Jew. My guess is that I’ve probably read the old testament in far greater detail than you have – and I’ve done it in the original language, not in translation.<\/p>\n Third – I don’t give a shit what kind of demo you can arrange. If you want to be taken seriously, you have to address the fundamental problem that makes what you claim impossible. Just suppose that you could use your system to compress things by *one byte*. Just one byte. If you could do that, you’d be mapping 256 inputs onto each compressed output. How, exactly, then, can you decompress an input? How does your system know *which* of those 256 inputs it should produce as the result of decompression? It’s very simple: If you can’t answer that – and I’m 100% sure that you can’t – then no demo matters. If you *can* answer that, then no demo is necessary. Answer that question, and I’ll admit that you’re right. I’ll even publicly apologize, and post regular updates on my progress re-reading the bible translation of your choice.<\/p>\n Fourth, I don’t think you’re a fraud. I think you’re an arrogant pig-ignorant idiot.<\/p>\n Finally – I can assure you that Google didn’t suppress *anything* about *anyone*. I can say that with absolute confidence – because I know about the technology we use, and actually picking specific information to exclude from the search database is quite *impossible*. Quite literally, impossible. We don’t have the ability to do excludes. Just indexing the data, without doing any kind of semantic filtering, is pushing the absolute limits of our technology. Semantic filtering would slow it down significantly – and any slowdown would destroy our ability to index data. I happen to believe that my employers ethics are strong enough that we *wouldn’t* do that if we could; but even if I was wrong about that, the fact is, we *can’t*. <\/p>\n So – put up or shut up and fuck off.<\/p>\n -Mark<\/p>\n <\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As usual, Jules in incapable of respecting even a simple request. Yesterday, he Wow! Wow again.<\/p>\n I am sorry that you don’t consider me to be your friend.<\/p>\n You’ve said several things that I want to respond to, but let me deal Although years ago I was heavily involved in mechanical language I stand corrected. I will get back to the person who told me this and Now, about my being a “despicable smuck”, well, no, I don’t think so. The problem you have is that I actually do have a system that And that is why a demonstration, assuming two machines, a floppy You seem to assume that I am attempting to defraud people, that I Well, gosh, I’m sorry, but I can not simply ignore the commercial This is why I don’t patent — because the moment I do, gigantic corps, Now, about the Bible. Perhaps I have seriously misjudged you. But if But forget this — look, he won’t be able to run again, too many I did know that you are Jewish, but the nature and kind of interaction Consider Abraham and how, when he and Lot ran into trouble because of My point: You just called me a “despicable smuck”, and I guess I As to:<\/p>\n and also:<\/p>\n I have an answer. It’s just not the kind of answer you want.<\/p>\n First, I can not store more than 256 states in one byte. I hope that However, this DOES NOT relate to the core issue. The core issue is: I know, you don’t believe me.<\/p>\n Now, about being added to your friend’s list. If you have any I repeat, if you decide that you would like me as a friend, please do say so.<\/p>\n I can leave you with this, I have a friend who runs’ a conservative –jg<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And, once again, my reply:<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n No one would argue that you can’t munge files in a way that allows you to recompress them. The question is, can you *uncompress* them afterwards? <\/p>\n And the answer is, no, you can’t.<\/p>\n “Repeated compression” like you’re doing is very simple: just throw away information. Less information, and presto, smaller files. And you can do that over and over and over again, as often as you want, until you get the files as small as you want.<\/p>\n But if you can’t decompress it afterwards, what good is it? <\/p>\n I can come up with a half dozen schemes by which you can take a compressed file, fiddle with it, and then compress it again. They range from the profoundly idiotic to the surprisingly subtle. But they all have the property that the way that they make the file compressible is by reducing the information content – they’re discarding information. And if you’ve discarded any information, you can’t decompress it. <\/p>\n And I think that on some level, you realize that. That’s why you wouldn’t actually answer my question. But that’s the key. If I give you a file that’s been repeatedly compressed by your system – the compressed file and nothing else – can you return the original file to me?<\/p>\n That question is just another way of phrasing what I asked you last time. If you could compress any file N bytes long into a file N-1 bytes long, that would mean that your “compression” process mapped 256 inputs onto one output. So how can you uncompress? How can you know which of those 256 files should be the result of your decompression?<\/p>\n And if you can’t answer that question for a process that would only reduce things by one byte, then how are you going to answer it for your system, where you claim to be able to map gigabytes down a tenth of a megabyte? You’re talking about a system where for any compressed file, there will be billions of possible inputs that produce one compressed output. How are you going to figure out which one is the correct result of un-compressing?<\/p>\n As for your self-defense: you *are* a despicable schmuck. You’ve ignored my repeated attempts to get you to leave me alone. You insist on repeatedly attempting to preach at me despite the fact that I have made it abundantly clear that I am not interested. You have shown nothing but disrespect and contempt for my wishes. Do you think that makes you a good person? Does your precious false messiah tell you that you’re really a great guy for doing it?<\/p>\n You’ve made slanderous claims about a company full of good people. You’ve made slanderous claims against the Jewish community. You’ve made slanderous claims about just about everyone who doesn’t share your own petty stupid ideas. Do you think that *those* things make you some kind of wonderful person?<\/p>\n You are a despicable, vile, hateful person with no respect for anyone but yourself. And you’re a pig-ignorant moron. <\/p>\n Do me a favor, and listen this time: fuck off.<\/p>\n <\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Did he listen? No. This morning, in my mailbox:<\/p>\n I get it. You don’t want to talk.<\/p>\n Okay. I will make this as brief as I possibly can and I won’t discuss You recently offered to read the Bible, posting notes regarding your Unfortunately (as I explained,) doing this would make it impossible I am offering you a modification:<\/p>\n a) You don’t have to post your reading progress. In fact I thought b) For my part, I propose something similar. Yesterday I met with a But not only did he insist on a demonstration, he further insisted So here’s my modified offer; I will supply you the names of several And once again, I respond in as hostile a manner as possible, hoping \n<\/p>\n You don’t fucking listen, do you?<\/p>\n As far as your super-duper compressor goes, as I keep saying to you: demos don’t matter. I don’t care whether you claim to be honest or not. I don’t care how many witnesses you have. None of that matters.<\/p>\n There’s one essential fundamental question about your system. If you can answer that one question – which I’ve asked you several times – I will absolutely accept that you’re able to do what you claim. I won’t need to see a demo. I won’t need to hear from witnesses about your demo. I won’t need to see your code. Answer that one question, and I’ll believe you. But if you *can’t* answer it, then you’re full of shit, you can’t do what you’re claiming, and no number of demos can possible change that.<\/p>\n Here’s the question, *again*, stated as clearly as I can possibly put it.<\/p>\n You claim to be able to compress *any* file down to something on the order of 40Kbytes by using your repeated compression system.<\/p>\n So let’s make the problem incredibly simple. Suppose I give you a set of files that each have 40,001 bytes, and your compression system can, somehow, compress all of those files to 40,000 bytes. At this point, it’s not particularly useful – but it makes the problem clear. If you can do this, that means that for *any* 40,000 byte compressed output, there are, on average, 256 possible inputs that could have been compressed to it.<\/p>\n If I give you a 40,000 byte compressed file, how can you determine which of the 256 possibilities is the correct result of decompressing it?<\/p>\n If you can’t, then what you have isn’t a compression system.<\/p>\n I can invent a “repeated compression system” that works wonderfully, if I don’t need to decompress. Just off the top of my head: break the input into 1024 bit chunks. For each 1024 bit chunk, compute the a 1024-bit SHA hashcode, and replace the original chunk with the computed hashcode. Then run it through your compressor again. Presto! It will, with near-100% probability, result in a smaller compressed file. And you can take the result of that, and repeat – and it will *still* likely result in a smaller compressed file. Evetually you’ll reach a fixed point – but you can easily take terabytes of data, and reduce them down to a couple hundred K at worst.<\/p>\n But it’s completely useless – because it’s not really compression. You can’t get back the uncompressed data. It’s gone. <\/p>\n That’s exactly what’s wrong with your system – unless you can explain to me, for my example, just how your decompressor knows which of those 256 outputs to generate.<\/p>\n If you can’t answer that question, then just go the fuck away and leave me alone. Don’t waste my time with your proposals, or with your inane babble about how you’re going to demo it, how you’ve got money people wanting to invest, or any of that crap. Answer the question, or shut the fuck up.<\/p>\n <\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At last I’ve apparently made him angry, but alas, not angry enough for him Alright — now you are getting me angry, and although you and I have Mark, give me a couple of days and I will try to formulate a response.

\nresponse to my previous “stop sending me this bullshit” message of a week
\nearlier):<\/p>\n
\nfavor.<\/p>\n
\nsent me:<\/p>\n\n
\nwith the simplest first, about Google.<\/p>\n
\nunderstanding (I used CLIPS and built something that was used by CSC
\nfor several years; I am not current today nor have I been for more
\nthan a decade. So here I have to accept what you say, and, reading
\nyour remarks, I am pretty sure that you are being sincere. So,…<\/p>\n
\nadvise them to look for a different explanation.<\/p>\n
\nAnd I suppose I should be offended but I already knew that you don’t
\nbelieve what I say.<\/p>\n
\ncompresses previously compressed files. I know, you don’t believe me.
\n But it’s true, I do. Now, the issue here, I think, it this: You
\nthink my claim must be false, that such a claim is false on it’s face,
\nwhile I know that it is indeed possible, in fact I do it all the time
\nwhen I am on my R&D machine.<\/p>\n
\ninterchange, no wireless, no wires, no memory sticks, turning one
\nmachine off while the other is on, careful examination of the machines
\n— all of this means that either I am a great magician or that I
\nactually have done what I claim I have done. And truth, I am not
\nfaking, also I’m not good with slight of hand stuff.<\/p>\n
\nhaven’t done what I say I’ve done. I recognize now that I am not
\ngoing to convince you unless I send you my source code, or, at the
\nvery least, announce my methods. (Though I am glad that you don’t
\nthink me a fraud. I’m not.)<\/p>\n
\nimplications and tell you how I do what I do.. I have investors, I
\nhave a wife who wants, when I die, to continue to be able to eat and
\npay the electric bill. So if you don’t mind I will keep my
\nintellectual property to myself until I extract value from what I have
\ndone.<\/p>\n
\nsuch as MS, will take what I have, even ignoring right and wrong. And
\nyou’re pretty knowledgeable, you know this is exactly what they did to
\nStack Electronics. And, as I look at those events, I would say MS got
\naway with it, that the penalties they paid in cash and stock were
\nnothing compared to the degree of damage sustained by Stack.<\/p>\n
\nyou are telling me that you are trying to be a good Jew, other than to
\nsay that you are rare, I need to apologize to you and not trouble you.
\n I believe that things are soon going to get very bad for Jews in
\nIsrael, and I notice their level of isolation is increasing. For
\ndecades, because the US was a Christian nation, Israel received a
\ngreat deal of help from us. But I am doubtful that Obama and others
\n(Hillary Clinton, for example,) will help Israel the next time she
\nneeds US assistance. As I see Obama, I see someone who is completely
\ngodless and who has no intention of helping Jews.<\/p>\n
\npeople will be clamoring for proof of his citizenship. And I think
\nhe’ll try to stay in office. How?, I have no idea… So I am
\nexpecting real trouble ahead and one thing for sure, it’s important to
\nbe on good terms with the God of the Bible.<\/p>\n
\nwe’ve had led me to see you as a very different kind of person. None
\nthe less, I do not want to offend you. Not one bit! I am a Jew, too,
\nat least by birth, but growing up (single parent,) I was not brought
\nup as a Jew, rather the religion of our household was atheism. It was
\nas an adult I looked around and decided that Jesus is the Messiah.<\/p>\n
\nthe size of their flocks, how Abraham decided to split but graciously
\nallowed Lot to take the better land for his group, while Abraham and
\nhis fellows made do with less good pasture lands.<\/p>\n
\ndon’t associate such behavior with the kind of person Abraham was\/is.
\nHowever, I can be wrong. And while I don’t agree with your
\nassessment, if you are telling me that you are a Jew and that you are
\ntrying to be a good Jew, I need to respect that. If you do decide you
\nwant to talk, say so.<\/p>\n\n> you have to address the fundamental problem that\nmakes what you claim impossible.\n<\/pre>\n

\nI have never said anything that led people to think I thought that I
\nthought I could. I have said, in jest, that I use the space between
\nthe bits, stuff like that, but I assumed that no one took me
\nseriously.<\/p>\n
\nCan a previously compressed file be re-compressed. And like it or

\nevidence as to identity of the Messiah — and besides, it’s God’s
\n“job”, not mine, to work inside your mind. He chooses who he wants

\nwritings of Abraham, of Moses, to read David and Solomon. And yes,
\nIsaiah and Zechariah.<\/p>\n
\nremember, he told us something, something very basic, something so
\nimportant that it transcends almost everything else.<\/p>\n

\nmade beaches and wants us to enjoy them, he also intends that we be
\nproductive people. I mention this because some people (apparently,)
\nhave no idea what to expect of God. Men such as Adam, Abraham, Moses,
\nNehemiah, and (I think,) all the men of the Bible (the Patriarch’s,)
\nworked. Also Ruth and Naomi.<\/p>\n
