note that "casual dismissal" is the absolutely the most reasonable and practical action to take with respect to most philosophical problems. just, like, don't pretend you are saying anything that is of any interest to anyone

if rotor wants to say that numbers are "real", in the sense that they exist independently of "here's 5 apples" or "here are some arabic numerals i typed: 1 2 3 4 5", then he has to explain where these mythical numbers actually are.

real numbers are fuckin nuts. most real numbers are not even computable. in the formal sense of most: if you randomly choose an arbitrary real number, the probability that it is uncomputable is 1

not only is there an infinite amount of real numbers, but between any two real numbers you choose, there is... another infinite amount of real numbers! like, what the gently caress

speaking of that

just the other day i found a cool generative art thing. some guy wrote a flowfield rendering algorithm that he calls "rayhatching" to render SDFs and it has some pretty neat looking results. and afaict its a new thing, nobody else is doing it. so i checked out his linked blog post talking about it and he only released it as part of some VC back crypto nft scam company lol. to use his algorithm you have to write 512 chars or less of javascript which gets "minted" to a blockchain and everything is an nft. screw you dude, just release some software i'll pay $5 or whatever, or talk about the algorithm so i can implement it myself! why cripple it by hiding it behind 512 chars of nft javascript

the proper thing is to just say kilobyte or megabyte, but implicitly that is base 2 not 10, and the reader just has to know that
