00:02:24 <tswett> It is not cartesian closed.
00:02:39 <tswett> How do I know? nLab kind of implies it.
00:03:54 <tswett> Does it have a subobject classifier? Umm... oh boy, that's an interesting one.
00:04:26 <tswett> If there's a subobject classifier, presumably it's the set 2.
00:05:15 <shachaf> Why?
00:05:29 <shachaf> Categories that have a subobject classifier that isn't 2 are TG
00:05:40 <tswett> They're what?
00:05:57 <shachaf> too good
00:06:09 <tswett> Well, let's see.
00:07:14 <tswett> Om is a subobject classifier if every monomorphism A -> B is a pullback of B -> Om along the "true morphism" 1 -> Om.
00:07:40 <tswett> ...Yeah close enough.
00:07:55 <tswett> The arrow B -> Om has to be unique, in particular.
00:08:35 <tswett> So, consider the empty monomorphism from {} to {1}.
00:08:55 <tswett> This has to correspond to exactly one function {1} -> Om.
00:09:28 <tswett> So Om has to contain exactly one element that isn't the "true" element.
00:09:31 <tswett> So Om has to be 2.
00:09:40 <tswett> Nyow...
00:09:46 <tswett> Is 2 actually a subobject classifier at all?
00:10:25 <tswett> Given an injective primitive recursive function A -> B, is there a primitive recursive function B -> 2 which picks out its image?
00:12:20 <tswett> I'm thinking... no.
00:14:28 <tswett> There can't be an algorithm for *finding* such a primitive recursive function, at least. I don't think.
00:15:10 <tswett> Let A be the set of even integers greater than or equal to 4...
00:15:16 <tswett> And let B just be the natural numbers.
00:15:51 <tswett> Define f(x) = x, if x is the sum of two prime numbers; otherwise, the smallest odd number that is not the value of f(y) for y smaller than x.
00:16:17 <tswett> Then the image of f contains 1 if and only if Goldbach's conjecture is false.
00:17:17 <tswett> Now, the function B -> 2 picking out the image of f is, in fact, primitive recursive. We just don't know which primitive recursive function it is.

01:51:05 <tswett> Was it Harris?
01:51:41 <shachaf> The senator? I don't think she wrote an algebraic geometry book.
01:51:45 <shachaf> Or do you mean the magician?
01:52:23 <tswett> I mean my high school classmate.
01:52:29 <tswett> I'm wondering if the textbook was literally that person.
01:53:29 <tswett> I'm pretty sure it was Perrin.
01:55:36 <tswett> Yep, gotta be.

01:56:40 <tswett> "Is the set {(t, sin t) | t \in R} algebraic?"
01:56:43 <tswett> No.
01:58:02 <tswett> Because it... has countably infinitely many intersections with (t, 0)?
01:58:23 <tswett> Because it does not lie entirely on a line but does lie between two parallel lines?

06:16:52 <imode> well. I'm hooked.
06:17:02 <imode> I just compressed a graph of four nodes down to 1.625 bits.
06:17:09 <imode> four nodes, three edges.
06:17:22 <imode> err, not bits, bytes.
06:17:26 <shachaf> himode
06:17:34 <imode> hiii.
06:17:37 <shachaf> Is there a good succinct representation of prefix trees?
06:17:51 <imode> plenty if you hunt.,
06:18:04 <imode> I'm just doing graphs.
06:18:12 <imode> and n-ary trees.
06:19:54 <shachaf> Sounds trickier.
06:20:02 <shachaf> I don't know of one for either.
06:20:37 <imode> it's actually pretty neat.
06:21:02 <imode> I started working on encoding planar graphs then I figured out that what I was doing was book encoding.
06:21:05 <imode> or book embedding.
06:21:44 <imode> planar graphs are really easy. given a list of n nodes, say 5, list out n marks of *.
06:22:08 <imode> *****. then, for each edge like 1 <-> 3, place a { after the first node in the pair, and a } after the second node.
06:23:01 <imode> so the string becomes *{**}**. adjacency queries become questions about enclosure.
06:24:19 <imode> for example, to test whether node 1 is connected to node 3, all you have to do is navigate to node 1, skip ahead to the first {, and then skip to the matching }. if the index of the third node in the string is less than the index of the matching }, then they're connected. if not, they aren't.
06:28:57 <imode> there's some other stuff you need like backtracking from a closing to an opening, because each opening and closing paren after the *s represents an edge.
06:31:00 -!- erkin has joined.
06:33:45 -!- heroux has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
06:39:20 <imode> there's a twist though: one sequence like this only encodes a planar graph. if you want to encode a nonplanar graph, you have to use book embedding to encode multiple planar graphs with the edges you want.
06:39:46 <imode> but it's as simple as concatenating the strings of bits together with a delimiter.
06:39:47 -!- augur has joined.
06:41:06 <imode> compressing graphs like this gives me some new insight on how to cram a fuckton of data onto small devices.
06:49:22 -!- FreeFull has quit.
07:27:28 <zzo38> OK
07:27:38 <zzo38> What new insight is that?
07:29:55 <imode> in that if you support basic bitwise ops you can store massive static datastructures with efficient query ops on extremely small devices.

07:35:17 <imode> oh I can compress any file down to 50K. just don't ask me for it back.
07:35:53 <zzo38> I have done compression stuff before, many kind of experiment, making better compression for Sokoban levels, for MegaZeux worlds, etc. These are specific cases rather than general-purpose compression though
07:36:17 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
07:36:30 <imode> thing is, it's not really compression.
07:37:12 <imode> the graph as specified above is still usable in place. with some rudimentary rewriting you can insert new edges, remove edges...
07:39:00 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
07:40:45 <zzo38> OK
07:41:32 <imode> it's definitely not the ideal representation but it gets damn close.

07:44:43 <imode> crackpots are funny people.
07:45:11 <doesthiswork> that's actually a fair definition of random
