egg changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Гельфонд. We currently target 1.8.1, 1.9.1, and 1.10.1. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

Sir Mortimer. — I tumbled down a new rabbit hole: I discovered the ancient game of go.
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — They say you need 5 minutes to learn the rules, but a lifetime to master it
<discord->
egg. — a better rabbit hole than to discover the programming language of the same name
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — Nowadays, everybody and their cat invents their own language. And just because there's a giant tech company behind a new hype doesn't make it look appealing to my eyes. Quite the contrary, actually.
<discord->
egg. — indeed
<discord->
lpg. — _new hype_ go is what, 10 years old?
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — That's my kind of go 😛

Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — Now I wonder if the boardgame Go would be Turing complete on an infinite board... 🤔

egg|anbo|egg_ is now known as egg|anbo|egg

Paculino (ŝi/ri/she/they). — Infinite cannot, but a sufficient large finite board allows Go to simulate a certain number of steps of a Turing-complete machine. So you just have to resize the board enough for the problem
