Seems exactly like what you want. We don't think in plain English, we _rationalize_ our thoughts into English (or whatever language comes out) but they must be more fundamental than language because language is acquired. Essentially, E

On paper, it's really cool and I hope that more comes out of it. In practice, I'm not sure that taking 9k eval steps to turn a string lowercase is viable for anything.

I don't understand what the problem is. You can just make a parser that ignores comments, while still allowing them in the syntax. You don't need to store the comments in the AST, or to actually parse them. You just need to skip t

There are some comments that, even if I was blindfolded and only had to listen to them through a loudspeaker, I would immediately recognize as coming from some HN commenter who thinks they're being really smart. This is one of those su

People who indent like that should be in jail. I'm following a junior who is working on a project where everything, including braces, is indented like that. Some lines overflow on a 2k screen. So stupid... And it requires much more eff

Coca Cola has phosphoric acid in it so you don't puke from the fact that it contains unnatural amounts of sugar. Sugar itself, in its processed form, is quite unnatural and causes cravings and addiction. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors d

Yeah but language sucks at encoding the locality relations that represent a 2D picture such as a circuit diagram. Language is a fundamentally 1D concept. And I'm baffled that HN is not picking up on that and ACTUALLY BELIEVES that you

Here is an example of a task that I do not believe this generation of LLMs can ever do but that is possible for an average human: designing a functional trivia app. There, you don't need to invoke Turing or compiler bootstrapping. You

When people talk about explainability I immediately think of Prolog. A Prolog query is explainable precisely because, by construction, it itself is the explanation. And you can go step by step and understand how you got a particular result,

Doesn't matter if what the LLM says isn't factually true as long as we're all too ignorant to tell!

The previous record was 33x33x33. Imagine going through all that just to beat it by one unit while using the same design, that's so cheap. I'm so glad he was beaten by the 49x49x49.
