| 2025-05-06 23:28:41 +0200 | <hellwolf> | But related to the quest, but not the same problem. I made something type-check, but not sure what I am doing completely. maybe I shoudl to go to bed too |
| 2025-05-06 23:28:24 +0200 | <hellwolf> | fwiw, I used IO just to make it clear it was a monad; but it's actually a State or just a m. |
| 2025-05-06 23:27:53 +0200 | <hellwolf> | wow, you guys are fast. |

| 2025-05-06 23:23:37 +0200 | <monochrom> | Was just talking with a friend who teaches computability and NP-completeness, so let me close with "cannot reduce >>= to <*>" for extra confusion! |

| 2025-05-06 23:22:25 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | "cannot implement >>= using <*>" is clearer, IMO |
| 2025-05-06 23:22:06 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | stupid dualities |
| 2025-05-06 23:22:00 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | cannot convert <*> to >>=, and cannot convert users of >>= to users of <*> |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:44 +0200 | <monochrom> | >:) |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:40 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | sure |

| 2025-05-06 23:21:38 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | oh |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:32 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | (the other way round) |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:19 +0200 | <monochrom> | Right, cannot convert <*> to >>= |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:12 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | it's consistent. :) |
| 2025-05-06 23:21:02 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | hence if you could use (<*>), you can also use (>>=); but if you were using (>>=), you can't necessarily use (<*>) instead |
| 2025-05-06 23:20:42 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | being in an M context does not help for going the other way |

| 2025-05-06 23:19:04 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | monochrom: if you are already in an M context, then you can convert easily from M (a -> b) to a -> M b; to use your types, you are indeed in an M context |

| 2025-05-06 23:17:25 +0200 | <monochrom> | I am now trying to reconcile that with how sometimes we say that Monad is an upgrade of Applicative by upgrading M (a -> b) -> M a -> M b to (a -> M b) -> M a -> M b. |

| 2025-05-06 23:14:30 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | the `IO (FilePath -> String)` example also illustrated it quite well, I think |

| 2025-05-06 23:13:52 +0200 | <monochrom> | I guess [a->b] -> a->[b] shows the problem, or at least why you must sacrifice something. |
| 2025-05-06 23:12:20 +0200 | <EvanR> | though what you CAN do ... is kind of hard to determine without defined IO |
| 2025-05-06 23:12:08 +0200 | <EvanR> | right |
| 2025-05-06 23:12:00 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | so as was said already, neither direction is something you can always do :p |
| 2025-05-06 23:11:31 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | or you would duplicate the effects, which is in general not what you want (but it may be acceptable in some specific circumstances) |

| 2025-05-06 23:10:51 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | if you're in an IO context, you can `\mf -> do f <- mf; return (pure . f)` |
