Presentability rank of tensor product of presentable categories

In this post category means $(\infty, 1)$-category. Let $X, Y$ be two presentable categories. We can then form their tensor product $X \otimes Y \cong \operatorname{ContFun}(X^{\mathrm{op}}, Y)$. Can ...

Are Euclidean spaces $\Delta$-generated?

From the definition of $\Delta$-generated it seems like $\mathbb R$ should be $\Delta$-generated, as $\mathbb R$ is final with respect to all continuous maps $\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$. However, the ...
