05:42:51 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: you might have a that/this distinction in the third...
05:43:20 <oerjan> i.e. distinguishing other close and other far away
05:43:27 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Doesn't Spivak technically include inanimate objects?
05:44:05 <hppavilion[1]> But it'd be awkward to decide whether or not a character being omnisciently narrated should be referenced as distant or near
05:44:14 <oerjan> also, the plural ones should properly involve subsets; e.g. some languages distinguish inclusive and exclusive "we"
05:44:17 <hppavilion[1]> (Actually, I take that back, that would be a powerful tool for writers...)
05:44:40 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: A language with plural "you"; plural second person
05:44:49 <oerjan> and there's the reflexive pronouns.
05:52:37 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Oh, those. I thought those were just variants on the other pronouns for different contextual usage?
05:53:36 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: in english, yes. but some languages use the same reflexive pronoun for all persons.
05:55:25 <oerjan> iirc. wiktionary doesn't seem to have the word i remembered.
05:56:45 <oerjan> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/svoj#Serbo-Croatian looks equivalent.

06:00:20 <oerjan> (presumably this is a common slavic feature. norwegian and german have reflexive pronouns but they're only for third person (all genders and numbers though)
06:01:10 <shachaf> these pronouns have so many rules
06:01:19 <shachaf> but possessives are nine tenths of the rules
06:05:30 <oerjan> shachaf: that may be a _little_ exaggerated. but given that the possessives are inflected like adjectives but the others like nouns (well, very irregular ones), maybe 3/4.
06:06:11 <shachaf> it's 100% exaggerated and not serious hth

13:14:58 <b_jonas> It's so confusing, all these similar English words with "q" in them and some meaning related to destroy or crush or suppress. "squeeze", "squish", "squash", "quash", "quell", "quench" (this last one means to put out a fire).
13:17:04 <b_jonas> "quash" is the one I just read now I don't recall having seen before, but since they're so confusingly similar I might just have forgetten that particular one
13:17:55 <b_jonas> This sort of thing works differently for me than for most native English speakers, since I listen to English very little and so pay attention to the spelling of words way more than the pronunciation.

21:24:02 <hppavilion[1]> Hm... is a vector in non-euclidean space an Elliptic Vector or Parabolic vector (depending on how non-euclidean the space is)?

21:26:07 -!- augur has quit (Client Quit).
21:37:51 <shachaf> what is a vector in non-euclidean space twh
21:53:05 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: A euclidean vector is a vector in euclidean space, where here "euclidean space" means a space like that used in Euclidean geometry (though, usually with more numeric coordinates). A vector in non-euclidean space is a vector in a space that behaves like that used in non-euclidean geometry.
21:53:36 <shachaf> I know what a vector space is.
21:53:47 <shachaf> What's a "non-euclidean space"?
21:54:31 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: (1) Space that behaves like non-euclidean geometry, where parallel lines either cross (Elliptical) or have a closest point (Hyperbolic) (2) Probably?
21:55:14 -!- FreeFull has quit (Quit: rebooting, brb).
21:55:15 <hppavilion[1]> ("Non-Euclidean Vector" seems like it would be a better term for it, but that could easily be interpreted as "a vector which is not a Euclidean vector")
21:55:36 <shachaf> What sort of vector space is it?
21:55:40 <hppavilion[1]> Wait, "Euclidean space" is a real thing, right? I didn't conflate it with some other last name?
21:56:53 -!- moonheart08 has joined.
21:57:21 -!- FreeFull has joined.
21:57:57 <hppavilion[1]> OK, from wikipedia: "In geometry, Euclidean space encompasses the two-dimensional euclidean plane, the three-dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, and certain other spaces". Non-euclidean space would encompass the equivalents for non-Euclidean geometry.
21:58:39 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: ...to be clear, the "Euclidean" in "Euclidean vector" specifically indicates that it's in Euclidean space, right? I assumed it did, but it might not...
21:59:13 <shachaf> "space" can have lots of meaning.
21:59:31 <shachaf> You can give Euclidean space lots of different structure, such as a vector space or a topological space.
21:59:50 <shachaf> But I don't know what a non-Euclidean finite-dimensional vector space over R would be.
22:00:01 <shachaf> (Because every finite-dimensional vector space over R is Euclidean.)
22:00:55 <shachaf> (Well, depending on what Euclidean means.)
22:01:03 <shachaf> (Which is why I don't know what it means.)

22:50:18 <hppavilion[1]> A few weeks ago, we were talking about harm(onic plus)/Parallel Sum
22:52:44 <hppavilion[1]> I wonder if there's an equivalent to the hyperoperations for it (Normally, H(1, a, b) = a+b; this is R(1, a, b) = a(+)b)
22:57:56 <Taneb> Almost all real numbers are transcendental, right?
22:58:31 <shachaf> There are only countably many algebraic numbers.
23:00:20 <Taneb> Are there any commonly used proper subsets of the transcendental numbers such that almost all real numbers are in that subset?
23:01:30 <Taneb> myname, that's a superset of the transcendental numbers, unless I am horribly confused
23:01:40 <shachaf> I don't know, uncomputable numbers?
23:01:59 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], algebraic is the word I think
23:02:04 <Taneb> shachaf, ooh, that's a good one
23:02:36 <hppavilion[1]> How do dictionaries in languages like French where words have several forms tend to work? Do they sort the words and provide all 4 forms?
23:03:07 <hppavilion[1]> (But then do they sort it by masculine or feminine form? Or do they include both, thus making the dictionary have up to twice as many entries)

23:05:31 <shachaf> Taneb: Are you looking for the "smallest" commonly-used set whose complement is countable?
23:05:59 <shachaf> Cocountable, that's the word.
23:06:54 <shachaf> "undefinable" is a subset of uncomputable, I guess.
23:07:18 <Taneb> shachaf, can you give an example of an undefinable number?
23:07:24 <ais523> like that language I reviewed recently which had a program that halted if and only if it didn't halt?
23:07:32 <ais523> that's a computational class above uncomputable
23:07:36 -!- Frooxius has joined.
23:07:39 <ais523> I guess you could call it paradoxical
23:07:56 <ais523> (like, it's above the entire uncomputable hierarchy)
23:08:38 <ais523> I guess you can make a correspondence between uncomputable languages and infinities; you can't predict what an uncomputable language will do even with unlimited time, and infinites are larger than any finite number
23:08:55 <ais523> and just like some infinities are "larger" than others, some uncomputable languages can analyse others
23:09:12 <Taneb> ais523, a program that halts if and only if it doesn't halt feels perversely related to a quine
23:09:13 <ais523> but "larger" than any infinity would be a number that's greater than itself (as opposed to merely being larger than /other/ numbers)
23:09:25 <ais523> Taneb: you use the same techniques to make them as you do to make quines

23:23:35 <Taneb> My instinct is "Either that is the reals or it is not the largest possible countable subset of the reals"
23:24:04 <shachaf> It's certainly not the reals.
