Damn! I expected to win.

New York and Vegas are so ridiculously expensive right now. Inflation is way more than advertised in some places. Love being in the US, think there are so many ways it’s superior to Europe, but it’s almost as if these cities exist to separate you from your money by design. Even Portland though not as bad was still not cheap. Forget about the middle class, they’re coming for the upper middle class now.

That was me

Love the Palm Springs airport. This is the terminal after you get through security. It’s outdoors with palm trees.

You lettuce-hands little bitches will regret this!

Don't like how they're going after Hillary Clinton for being "psycho-emotional" and on heavy tranquilizers. Killing that many people you know would take its toll on anyone.

Great, thanks — will check it out

The number of steps to reach zero of GS(12) > Graham’s Number, and if you were to do GS(GS(12)), you’re off the scale. Basically it’s not simply recursive like GN, but grows at a faster level (Epsilon0 on the fast growing hierarchy). But yeah I guess it’s computable because it follows basic rules unlike TREE(3).

Btw - think your description is good — like an ever-exploding fractal within a finite space. There is no upper bound for it even though it’s deemed finite.

Tetration is definitely computable. It’s TREE(3) that is not. Also I’m not sure about this, it’s not recursive, but not as fast as TREE(3) or Busy Beaver. https://www.numberphile.com/videos/the-goodstein-sequence

Glad you enjoyed it! I have not though in the linked videos Tony Padilla gets into transfinite ordinals and goes to where each number resides on the fast-growing hierarchy. Worth looking into?

thanks John!

exactly, identity politics of the right sound awfully leftist to me

Too soon!

it is "bad" for people like me who want to talk about other things, but because I share most of the core beliefs I just keep posting here anyway. The premise is unassailable though — zero chance it survives without massive overlap in the middle of the Venn diagram. And I muted Pledditor on Twitter a long time ago because his takes were engagement-bait noise anyway.
