What would be the difference? The story even talks about that with the guys that lock themselves in the toilet and randomly generate books instead of going out to look for them in the library

>>15197146
I searched the first line of a novel im writing on the website and it was there. I was wondering if it already existed on the website or if it just generates whatever you search

>>15197176
Tbf idk how you can search so quickly with any computer algorithm out there for something like that and it's been around for a bit

>>15197134
I'm tempted to think its generated but even if it is its a fun concept

>>15197210
The issue is not the speed of the search its the amount of memory that it would have to have to store all the books. 60 characters per line, 25 lines per page and 400 pages per book 60*25*400=600000 so using just 26 different characters for the alphabet 26^600000 books in the library. For reference there are estimated to be 10^80 atoms in the universe.

>>15197234
So youre saying the website just generates what I search?

>>15197266
I read the About after I wrote that.

>We do not simply generate and store books as they are requested - in fact, the storage demands would make that impossible.
>At present it contains all possible pages of 3200 characters, about 104677 books.

So yeah it does claim to contain every 2 pages ever written or possible to write

>>15197289
Thats insane. Like I mentioned Im writing a novel.. so my completed novel already exists on the website even though I havent finished it yet? Whats even weirder is my book is centered around hexagons

>>15197310
Any 2 consecutive pages of the novel are contained in the library.

>>15197134
I imagine its similar to “seeding” in procedurally generated games. Except i don’t understand how that works either

>>15197329

>>15197342
It's not that profound have you ever read the Borges story it's based on? It's like saying a block of marble already contains the sculpture all you have to do is cut away the stuff stuck to it

>>15197356
I just found out about it today. Pretty awesome

what's crazier is the Image library they have, every possible image in 256x256 resolution is there

yes, that includes a photo of you sucking Stalin's dick or whatever
an image of you having sex with your dream girl? also there

>>15197289
Ig but how do you search something that fast through that many pages in an instant

>>15197455
Google searches through more than that whenever you use it. And besides if stored in sorted order the difference between finding a result and generating one is really semantic. There were MANY other entries that contained your line and it just chose one

>>15197455
OP here I figured it out. When the creator made the website he realized he couldnt possibly store that information, so instead he only stores the addresses, but when you look it up, an algorithm generates the page. So the same page will always have the same letters. So if you look up the text in pic related it will always give you the same address, and if you were to manually look up the address it would give you that text

>>15197493
>There were MANY other entries that contained your line and it just chose one
Yeah and the site doesnt store duplicates. In the real library of babel there would be an infinite number of identical copies for every possible book

>>15197310
Of you search long enough perhaps you will find the finished version of your novel and then you won’t have to write it, just copy it from the library.

>>15197542
It was the best of times, it was the BLURST OF TIMES??

>>15197455
>>15197518
probably uses hashing on the input string

>>15197593
You don't even need to hash. If you have an array of 10 integers and the integers 1-10 are stored in the array in sorted order you automatically know that if someone asks for the position of 4 it's in the 4th position. The string being searched for maps directly to the location in the library

>>15197518
This is part of the joke the address is the text they are the same thing since it's an exhaustive list of all the possible combinations. If the address was any shorter than the text the pigeonhole principle says there would not be enough addresses for all the texts

>>15197134
The website BTFOs copyright as an idea, but also proves how God can be omniscient and people can still have free will.
So ya win some, ya lose some.

>>15197134
Imagine searching for your phone number in the digits of pi. Was it already there?

>>15197636
So youre saying its fake?

>>15197659
I'm saying that there is no real difference between searching out the result or generating it. He claims to have stored all the entries(or at least up to 2 pages) but it really doesn't matter since the address would already have to be as long as the text. Borges recognized that too in the story.

>>15197659
To make it easier to see:
1. All strings can be stored as numbers so lets just integers to make it easier
2. Generate a sorted array 0-99999999999 with leading zeros.
3. If someone asks for the location of a specific integer you don't actually even need the array because the location will be the integer they gave.
4. If the integer they give doesn't have enough places just randomly add some numbers to fill it out and give them back that location. The location you give them will contain that number but again you don't even need to look at the array

>>15197289
>>15197310
this is what the Indefinite Dyad/Power of God is

>>15197731
Except the site is an art project stored on a couple of servers. If that is the power of God, God is a cuck

>>15197650
The site is bullshit (they are not currently hosting any pages of my work) but if they actually were, I could DMCA them lol.

>>15197708
>>15197683
Im going to be honest I dont understand, but thanks for taking the time to explain

>>15197787

>>15197787
Whats some of your work

>>15197787

>>15197798
Say you have the list 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and I ask you where the number 4 is in that list. Do you actually even need to look at the list to know where the number 4 is in it? You know it's at the 4th position because of the way the list is sorted no searching required. If you don't even need to look at the list there isn't really a difference between searching the entry out or generating it on the fly.

>>15197803
>>15197806
>>15197819
They probably don't store anything at all like the about page says. They just give you back the lines you type in, and if you don't give them 3200 characters, they offset the index a bit to fill the remaining possibilities. They can give you every single possible hex to every "book" that contains your input because the text is encoded into the hex. Do you think it's some coincidence that the hex is 3254 characters when the maximum input is 3200? I'm not saying it's impossible for them to generate a page that I have written, but I seriously doubt it would ever exist on their computer unless I sent it to them this way.

Read my multiple other posts about this. Even if has generated all the texts like he claims the address would be the same length of the text from the pigeonhole principle. If the size of the address was smaller than the text there wouldn't be enough addresses for all of the exhaustive listing of the texts

>>15197882
Hahaha

>>15197874
So it must just generate an address based on what you search. Presumably they can store the data of the hexes they generate for users, except they claim not to

>>15197860
I see exactly what youre saying now

>>15197310
>what's even weirder is my book is centered around hexagons

>>15197893
What you search is the address. Say you want to assign an address to every possible two bits

00 01 10 11

Obviously you can't use just 0 1 since that is only 2 holes for the 4 pigeons to go into. In combinatorics this is called the pigeonhole principle. Equivalently if you have every possible 100000 bits each of them need a 100000 bit address to be unique. In fact you can just use the number being looked for as the address and don't even need search for it

>>15197915

>>15197916
Yeah. I mean theoretically I could know exactly where in the library my completed theoretical book exists, but in order to find it I would have to already know all the words in it to know the corresponding hex code. So to find it I could essentially have to write it.

>>15197956
No you don't understand the text is the hex code. Say I was searching for 01000101001011 in an exhaustive sorted listing of all binary sequences. I would know 01000101001011 was at position 01000101001011 without even looking at the sequence. You could call this the degenerate case of hashing

>>15197956
Reading this again maybe you do understand but yeah you can only search if you know what you're searching for.

>>15197956
To put it another way from >>15198009, there is no database. You can never find your book by scrolling through the entire library, because there is no entire library in a physical or computer sense. It is not on their hard drive, they have nothing to send you. The library is only conceptual. It is all the allowable inputs for the hex browser, which nobody has actually written down or saved anywhere.

>>15198028
Meh he claims to have store them but again he wouldn't even need to look at the database to give you the address. Here >>15197234 I did the calculation to figure out it was impossible to have stored all the books but on the site it claims only all possible 3200 characters and I haven't done the math to see if that is reasonable.

>>15198009
Yeah im essentially saying to know the hex you already need to know what youre looking for. As someone else (maybe you) said its like saying theres a statue in a slab of marbel. To get it out you need to already know what it looks like, so its sort of redundant

>>15198051
Working it out the number of bits to store all possible bit sequences of length n is n*2^n so just 70 bits is already over a zetabyte and a number for the library of congress I found says 7.9 zetabytes so yeah its bullshit no way he stored all of that

>>15197210
My guess is that the algorithm know what ought be in the place and then generates it, other wise you would need an infinitely large computer

>>15198109
I mean yeah it knows what ought to be in the place because that is what you're searching for. If it was something else it would be wrong. But assuming(falsely) that he had stored all of that someone above asked how you would search all of it. And the answer is you would not need to search it the bit sequence of the text would be the hex address because of it being an exhaustive sorted list.

>>15198143
Yeah its essentially just a smoke and mirrors. Still a really interesting concept though

>>15198166
I wouldn't call it that even if he had stored all of it you would never even need to look at the database to give the location of a search and the contents of the location. And if someone insisted on looking at the database it would be the same as what you gave them without looking at it.

>>15198109
Not an infinite computer. The set is large but finite. There is a practical limit though. Although there is no restriction how long URLS are allowed to be, browsers typically have a limit of a few MB or a few thousand characters. I bet the character limit is as small as it is just to make it work with whatever web browser has the lowest limit.

>>15198202
How about with quantum computers?

>>15198236
I don't understand what you're asking here. I think it's been fully explained how the site works, and it's all within normal computing. What would this possibly have to do with quantum?

>>15198247
Well i only have a passing interest in how computers work, but it seems to me that a quantum computer might be able to actually store all that data, and possibly solve the pigeon hole problem.

>>15198324
2 holes 3 pigeons. 2 of the pigeons have to share a hole. It's that simple

>>15197708
So they transfer what you type into a number to look at in an already sorted array and it just goes straight to it?

>>15198336
With a quantum computer you can fit all three pigeons in one hole

>>15197134
it creates a page when you search for a specific phrase. it's literally impossible for it to be already there

>>15198356
Yeah but realize that done that way you don't even need the array since the number stored at the position is the same as the position. And he can't have stored all the possible permutations since it blows up so quick see what I wrote
>>15197234
>>15198106

>>15198324
You could at least google what the pigeonhole principle is before posting. It's not a problem to be solved.

>>15198356
>>15198028
>>15197996
>>15198356
There is no array. It gives you back what you typed in, and if you don't fill up the 3200 characters, it gives you some bullshit as well in order to fill the hex code and library location, so that you can type it in next time and get the same result. Now when you type in the hex code you got, it already includes the extra bullshit with it.

>>15198380
It is true that there is no way he could of stored all of that but you can't tell that from looking at the hex code. Even if he had stored it and it was in sorted order the hex code of the location would be the exact same as the text you were looking for see
>>15197708
>>15197996

>>15197444
What about CP?

>>15198408
Enter some and check

>>15198399
yes yes we all understand that you could fill 500 hard drives with all the pages if you really wanted to. Nobody actually did.

>>15197329
Could be a good tool any time you get stuck while writing.

>>15197737
God uses a procedural generation algorithm - not sure why it's cucked. It's a good way to handle building a world without needing to explicitly construct every detail.

>>15198411
Yeah see>>15198106 500 hard drives wouldn't even scratch the surface. That's the way you know he's full of shit not any resemblance of the hex code to the searched text since the natural way of assigning hex codes would just be to use the text as the hex code

>>15198422
because the entire point of procedural generation is that you don't have to be God to do it
the mathematical logic behind all procedures would be a superior entity, a higher "God" to god in this case

>>15198422
I'm not seeing any connection to the divine here, and I don't think there's any grounds to assert it unless you're just going to say it is everywhere/everything. Some guy made a website that spits back the text you put into it. Nothing to do with procedural generation either.

>>15198470
>>15198422
You guys are way smarter than me but im going to interject anyways. God in this sense would be defined as the infinite potential of realities, the unformed infinite “sandbox” if you will. Any form of procedural generation within that infinite sandbox of potential would be carried out by a lesser being, like say, yaldabaoth.

>>15198523
This. All the website does is if you type a word, lets say “4channel”, it gives you a code based on the word with extra random info attached to it. It could literally be “poopoo4channelpoopoo.” So every time you search that code you get the same result, but it doesnt actually exist on a harddrive anywhere.

Imagine the equation x2=y.
Do you know every single possible result of the equation? Of course you don't, but you can still easily calculate every single result of it on the fly whe prompted to.
Babel works the same way - it doesn't have literally everything saved on it's hard drive, but it contains the program that produces these books in a deterministic, predictable and replicable pattern. It's essentially the same thing

It is fake. The website creator admitted he doesn’t store the text on a hard drive because it would be too big.

Isn’t it part of the joke that we can never know if it’s fake?

It produces them by either returning the searched text if its the full 3200 characters or by padding it out with random stuff if it's less than 3200. The address it gives is just the padded or unpadded text itself and the address is the contents of the location as well. See all the posts above I wrote about this it's like storing 1-10 in order in an array. You don't even need to look at the array to know where 4 is or in this case the array doesn't even need to exist

I dont know but it reads like Nick land

It's a Borges story namely the Library of Babel
