| 2024-06-03 00:36:16 +0200 | <yin> | mauke: which haskell doesn't do, right? |
| 2024-06-03 00:39:56 +0200 | <geekosaur> | polymorphic typeclass recursion can |
| 2024-06-03 00:40:58 +0200 | <yin> | geekosaur: at *runtime* ? |
| 2024-06-03 00:41:16 +0200 | <geekosaur> | not only can it create new types, it can create them from types that aren't even known at compile time but come from instances defined by some package that didn't even exist when you wrote your code |
| 2024-06-03 00:41:28 +0200 | <geekosaur> | yes, at runtime |
| 2024-06-03 00:41:40 +0200 | <yin> | can you point me to a simple example? |
| 2024-06-03 00:41:48 +0200 | <yin> | this is new to me |
| 2024-06-03 00:42:43 +0200 | <geekosaur> | considering what I just said, code that uses `SomeTypeclass m => m a` may find itself with an `m a` that can'tg possibly be known at compile time |
| 2024-06-03 00:43:26 +0200 | <geekosaur> | all it knows is a passed-in instance dictionary |
| 2024-06-03 00:43:28 +0200 | gmg | (~user@user/gehmehgeh) (Quit: Leaving) |
| 2024-06-03 00:44:15 +0200 | <geekosaur> | normally this isn't aa problem, but with polymorphic recursion in a typeclass method you end up with methods that can't be completely resolved at compile time even with WPC |
| 2024-06-03 00:45:06 +0200 | <geekosaur> | this isn't what you normally think of with "types defined at runtime", but it behaves like that |
| 2024-06-03 00:45:44 +0200 | <yin> | i see. thanks |
| 2024-06-03 00:50:02 +0200 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure of this but I think it may also verge on dependent types? since the type it constructs is defined by an instance record. but the compiler restricts it so much that you need hacks like IfCxt to actually explore that direction? |
| 2024-06-03 00:50:17 +0200 | <geekosaur> | maybe I should say "type" in scare quotes |

| 2024-06-03 01:20:36 +0200 | <geekosaur> | there was a practical example in here a couple months ago where, given [()] and a polymorphically recursive call, it generated [[()]] then [[[()]]] and so on which were never specified at compile time but generated on the fly by recursing on the typeclass method |
| 2024-06-03 01:21:34 +0200 | <geekosaur> | because all of those types can be captured by a typeclass method that turns `a` into `[a]`, fed back into itself |

| 2024-06-03 02:08:19 +0200 | <int-e> | yin: it just occurred to me that `read` fits the description geekosaur gave |
| 2024-06-03 02:08:52 +0200 | <int-e> | even though I expect that the actual code was quite different |
| 2024-06-03 02:09:23 +0200 | <geekosaur> | that type is specified at compile time via an ascription, no? |
| 2024-06-03 02:12:10 +0200 | <int-e> | yeah which is kind of necessary because the value is actually returned rather than hidden in a recursive call. |

| 2024-06-03 02:13:35 +0200 | <geekosaur> | here's the original discussion from my logs https://paste.tomsmeding.com/cGswS9X2 |
| 2024-06-03 02:14:18 +0200 | <int-e> | the recursion part of this doesn't even require type classes. You can have data BalancedTree a = Leaf a | Nest (BalancedTree (a,a)) and generate a tree of depth n with foo :: Int -> a -> BalancedTree a; foo 0 a = Leaf a; foo n a = Nest (foo (n-1) a) |
| 2024-06-03 02:15:22 +0200 | <int-e> | Ah that example is similar. |
| 2024-06-03 02:15:27 +0200 | <geekosaur> | right, there's a distinction to be made between recursive types and recursive typeclass instances |
| 2024-06-03 02:15:49 +0200 | <int-e> | (the Show type class is involved but not essential) |

| 2024-06-03 02:17:07 +0200 | <int-e> | Okay if the point was to point out that type classes are different from C++ templates then it is essential. |

| 2024-06-03 18:31:58 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I'm writing a test suite with Hedgehog (quickcheck-lookalike); in a property, I first generate a length (from {0,...,8}), then generate a bunch of that length. The length==0 case should be tested, but results in just a single test case (everything is empty), yet of course the generator generates a whole bunch of zeros. Is there a way to reduce the amount of redundant 0 tests here? |
| 2024-06-03 18:32:45 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | can I e.g. assume that, like with quickcheck, the Size parameter is 0 at least once (and probably not very often after that) while testing? |

I'm also interested to know if there's an easy way to generate exactly one "zero case", otherwise you could write a unit test for empty lists and a property test for nonempty lists? |

| 2024-06-03 18:58:49 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | ( reads up on ultrafinitism on wikipedia) surely the point of mathematics is to be able to talk about structures without needing to construct them? |
| 2024-06-03 18:59:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | in order to understand the structures abstractly so that you can formulate and prove theorems that hold for all constructible instances |
| 2024-06-03 18:59:45 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | _all_ constructible instances, even if someone builds a larger computer at some point |
| 2024-06-03 19:00:11 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | why do ultrafinitists consider mathematics useful at all |
| 2024-06-03 19:02:15 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | the article gives an example that noone has calculated the natural number floor(exp(exp(exp(79)))), which is probably true, but surely we can compute digits of it |

| 2024-06-03 19:02:50 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | it's a bit rash to consider a thing not a natural number despite being able to calculate digits of it! |
| 2024-06-03 19:03:06 +0200 | <mauke> | why does math have to be useful? |
| 2024-06-03 19:03:29 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | mauke: that's not the value of that expression ;) |

| 2024-06-03 19:08:25 +0200 | <monochrom> | I wonder if some conspiracy theories can also be described as patterns made with ideas. |

| 2024-06-03 19:08:57 +0200 | <EvanR> | even though the subject matter is not even related, you get the same vibes from ultrafinitism as from flat earth |

| 2024-06-03 19:13:25 +0200 | <monochrom> | So suppose someone asks you to write code for, say, summing up a finite list of numbers. |
| 2024-06-03 19:14:16 +0200 | <monochrom> | If you knew up front all the actual inputs from users, ever (and we know that's finite), then you just have to hardcode those cases and their answers. Nothing to prove correct. |
| 2024-06-03 19:14:36 +0200 | <monochrom> | But of course you don't know upfront, so now you have to write general code and a general proof. |

| 2024-06-03 19:15:05 +0200 | <mauke> | it doesn't have to be fully general |
| 2024-06-03 19:15:16 +0200 | <monochrom> | So ultrafinitism can be right but impractically, intractibly untenable. |
| 2024-06-03 19:15:17 +0200 | <mauke> | e.g. I often limit myself to 64-bit integers |
| 2024-06-03 19:15:53 +0200 | <EvanR> | what's the formula to sum a list of 64-bit integers (correctly) |
| 2024-06-03 19:16:02 +0200 | <monochrom> | Even if you also know the length is less than 2^64, you don't actually code up 64^(2^64) cases, do you? |
| 2024-06-03 19:16:30 +0200 | <mauke> | no, that would take me too long |
| 2024-06-03 19:16:39 +0200 | <mauke> | I write a script that generates the cases |
| 2024-06-03 19:16:45 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I don't even agree with "Nothing to prove correct" |
| 2024-06-03 19:16:49 +0200 | <monochrom> | hahaha |

| 2024-06-03 19:17:53 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | if your code is "here's a list of 1000 cases and that's everything", even if that happens to actually _be_ everything, just giving that to me doesn't at all convince me that it's correct |
| 2024-06-03 19:18:10 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | in fact, I'd consider it very likely that the function is wrong |
| 2024-06-03 19:18:29 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | so you still have to prove correctness, you just made it more difficult for yourself |
| 2024-06-03 19:18:38 +0200 | <monochrom> | Yeah, but you don't write an induction proof or loop invariant proof. |
| 2024-06-03 19:19:02 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | well, how does the proof look then? |
| 2024-06-03 19:19:04 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | 1000 cases? |
| 2024-06-03 19:19:06 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | that doesn't help |
