everyone who thinks this is a costly or bad idea is looking past a very salient finding: code doesn't need much language. sure, other things might need lots of language, but code does not. code is already basically language, just a really weird one. we call them programming languages. they're not human languages. they're languages of the machine. condensing the human-language---machine-language interface, good.
if goal make code, few word better. if goal make insight, more word better. depend on task. machine linear, mind not. consider LLM "thinking" is just edge-weights. if can set edge-weights into same setting with fewer tokens, you are winning.
> They're not human languages. they're languages of the machine.
Disagree. Programming language for human to communicate with machine and human and human to communicate about machine. Programming language not native language of machine. Programming language for humans.
Otherwise make good point.
JOOK like when machine say facts. Machine and facts are friends. Numbers and names and “probably things” are all friends with machine.
JOOK no like when machine likes things. Maybe double standard. But forever machines do without like and without love. New like and love updates changing all the time. Makes JOOK question machine watching out for JOOK or watching out for machine.
JOOK like and love enough for himself and for machine too..
