2026-02-26 21:25:37 +0100 <monochrom> English b and v are associated with Greek beta and its Cyrillic equivalent. So you can have a transmutation from English b to Greek/Cyrillic beta to English v. This is known as beta reduction. >:)

2026-02-26 21:22:16 +0100 <monochrom> haha
2026-02-26 21:21:50 +0100 <mauke> that's like the English transliteration of the phonetic Russian spelling of the German words for <traditional costume> <bread>

2026-02-26 21:16:18 +0100 <monochrom> Yeah, I saw logic homework questions that showed some unprovable sentences that had only infinite counter-models.
2026-02-26 21:15:34 +0100 <EvanR> I don't follow that precisely but knee jerk reaction is that's probably an eventually trivial consequence of whatever the definition of complete is xD

2026-02-26 21:14:46 +0100 <jreicher> EvanR: one of the most confounding results I ever heard is that logic is not complete with respect to all finite models. You only get completeness if you allow infinite models. (Roughly speaking)

2026-02-26 21:10:39 +0100 <monochrom> Oh heh my mind auto-corrected that typo. :)
2026-02-26 21:10:08 +0100 <monochrom> Every Arrow is also a Category so I think you're right on.

2026-02-26 21:10:01 +0100 <EvanR> blahhhhh

2026-02-26 21:09:00 +0100 <EvanR> which has some overlap with Arrow ?
2026-02-26 21:08:49 +0100 <EvanR> "curry that works for any Arrow" is screaming to me "actually, any cartesian category category" ?
2026-02-26 21:07:06 +0100 <monochrom> On odd-numbered days everything blows my mind. On even-numbered days everything looks unsurprising.

2026-02-26 21:06:33 +0100 <EvanR> sometimes jumping straight to infinity is much easier to comprehend

2026-02-26 21:05:46 +0100 <EvanR> some finite numbers are... really big
2026-02-26 21:05:33 +0100 <EvanR> is this more or less mindblowing
2026-02-26 21:05:21 +0100 <EvanR> alternatively imagine a number system where there are finite numbers between 0 and 1, like fixed point numbers

2026-02-26 21:00:59 +0100 <jreicher> "The idea that there are infinitely many numbers between 0 and 1 is really amazing to me". Just wait until they learn about dense vs compact.
