- orblivion 3y agoThere's levels of abstraction. "lines of Python" to me roughly means the standard library.
- sciolist 3y agoAgreed. If it was "RLHF a LLM in <50 lines" I feel it would be clear, but "lines of Python" implies something different.
- skelpmargyar 3y agoImporting a library is not abstraction any more than closing your eyes is abstracting the world to black.
- __loam 3y agoThe point of libraries is abstraction. You get to use the library without writing the library or knowing the underlying implementation.
