| 2021-03-15 16:58:54 | <__minoru__shirae> | geekosaur: yeah, was wondering about that too |
| 2021-03-15 16:59:50 | <geekosaur> | fresheyeball: look at it in terms of its definition, data List a = [] | Cons a (List a) |
| 2021-03-15 17:00:25 | <geekosaur> | so not quite (+ Inf), since it can be finite |
| 2021-03-15 17:01:23 | <monochrom> | Infinite series. [a] = 1 + a + a*a + a*a*a + ... |
| 2021-03-15 17:01:27 | <fresheyeball> | geekosaur: doesn't that just make it a larger infinite? |

| 2021-03-15 17:01:55 | <codygman`> | merijn: Perhaps I'll carry on your "fix bracket" torch from 7 years ago if I ever get this fixed. |
| 2021-03-15 17:01:55 | <fresheyeball> | If it can be infinite list, or a finite list, doesn't that just mean the cardinality is bigger than a countable infinity? |

| 2021-03-15 17:02:25 | <geekosaur> | it's still countable |
| 2021-03-15 17:02:36 | <monochrom> | You are really better off writing out "Maybe a = 1+a" instead of trying to be pointfree with "Maybe = (1 +)". The pointfree form doesn't scale. |
| 2021-03-15 17:03:14 | <dminuoso> | monochrom: I disagree. Everybody should @pl their code to lambdabot before committing. It scales! |
| 2021-03-15 17:03:28 | <dminuoso> | Completely pointless code. Guaranteed. |
| 2021-03-15 17:04:01 | <fresheyeball> | geekosaur: how so? Does the diagonal proof not apply here? Can't I just invent a new list with a different member? |
| 2021-03-15 17:04:36 | <geekosaur> | it wouldn't describe the same type |
| 2021-03-15 17:04:48 | <fresheyeball> | [Int] ? |
| 2021-03-15 17:05:00 | <fresheyeball> | why not? |
| 2021-03-15 17:05:17 | <fresheyeball> | I don't see why the diagonal proof doesn't apply to lists |

| 2021-03-15 17:05:48 | <geekosaur> | maybe I'm misunderstanding you. but if you added an arbitrary thing it would not then be a list of a, but a list of a plus an item of some b /= a |

| 2021-03-15 17:06:32 | <fresheyeball> | because then no diagonal right? |
| 2021-03-15 17:06:40 | <fresheyeball> | but still, I can have an infinite list of [()] |
| 2021-03-15 17:06:47 | <fresheyeball> | and a finite list of arbitrary size |

| 2021-03-15 17:07:28 | <monochrom> | That is still not "1 + infinity". |

| 2021-03-15 17:08:34 | <monochrom> | But [()] is still not () + infinity. [Int] is still not Int + Infinity. (Where is the empty list?) |

| 2021-03-15 17:09:53 | <fresheyeball> | Well if [()] is an uncountable infinity, because of infinite lists in addition to an infinite number of finite lists. |

| 2021-03-15 17:10:02 | <fresheyeball> | then I think it doesn't matter actually |
| 2021-03-15 17:10:17 | <fresheyeball> | Whatever we put in the list, it wont change the cardinality |
| 2021-03-15 17:10:22 | <hyperisco> | fresheyeball, the arithmetic interpretation is just the same as if you have a recursive arithmetic expression |
| 2021-03-15 17:10:39 | <hyperisco> | fresheyeball, so you can analyse in various ways... it is an infinite series |
