2026-02-19 23:09:17 +0100 <EvanR> it's as lazy as possible, and the answer is bottom in the official league approved semantics

2026-02-19 23:08:30 +0100 <n0w0n> not if ya try to evaluate an infinite list first
2026-02-19 23:08:07 +0100 <EvanR> consistent with the double negation translation of classical logic
2026-02-19 23:07:57 +0100 <haskellbridge> <ijouw> The equal for any finite prefix
2026-02-19 23:07:44 +0100 <n0w0n> neither, it's not lazy enough to be consistent with LEM
2026-02-19 23:07:24 +0100 <EvanR> which version of equal is this, the rhetorically equal?
2026-02-19 23:07:01 +0100 <haskellbridge> <ijouw> I would argue that no matter what you put in the second [1,2..] it is equal since it never will be computed
2026-02-19 23:06:24 +0100 <EvanR> we'll it's "not false"
