@MercurialBlack realistically speaking is a number practically finite if it's not computable

@Ukko If a number is uncomputable it's gonna be in an uncountably infinite set

@Ukko Though what the fuck that doesn't make sense because the ordinals before \omega_1 are countable...

@MercurialBlack sorry i needed to sprinkle more uncomputable everywhere, idk i once saw a weird approach to finiteness that was like "who cares, it's too large for us to get to anyways"

@MercurialBlack some more practically uncomputable*

@MercurialBlack excuse me i still can'tt ype i'll log off

@Ukko I mean what does practically uncomputable mean, what's the cutoff.

from what I understand either you can compute it in finite time or you can't
