What kind of art do you think the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), houses?

I've never been there, but the German Wikipedia says it houses "modern and contemporary art". I'd assume that in their vast collection, you might even find stuff that's older than the 1860s.

The oldest works there are from the 1880s.

Most of their code is locked behind closed doors.

You can't bring a steak to a vegan potluck and say "Come on guys, we won't get sued over this!"

Exactly my point. They say they don't want steak due to legal concerns rather than just admitting they're vegans.

"AI Use Disclosure: A majority of this code base was crafted by hand without any use of AI (which can be seen from the project's Git history)."

So much for "human programming is obsolete".

For context:

In the final stages of the project, AI was used to assist:

Implementing the user-facing API Widening of compatibility, for instance generalizing and porting the pretokenizer implementations to support more tokenizers, less interesting features like padding/truncation/unicode normalization Porting SIMD strategies between AVX512/AVX2/NEON Final profiling stages and the last ~4x worth of performance from eliminating branching and improving the pretoken cache hierarchy Refactoring and code reuse

Nobody except people trying to sell AI are claiming human programming is obsolete though.

It is pedantic. Saying that people should say CPC instead of CCP adds nothing to the conversation. If it grinds your gears then maybe starting with organizations like the Encyclopedia Britannica[0] rather than random Hacker News commenters might prove more effective.

Prolog is a very practical language for particular tasks. Languages are tools that fill different niches.

Besides, people do stay with Prolog. The language has been going strong for many decades. New Prolog projects pop up often. This can't be said for many other unusual languages, which perished in academic obscurity.

Sarcasm?

No, not at all.

A language is a set of sentences.

A sentence is a finite sequence of symbols drawn from an alphabet.

In this sense, mathematical operation tables are absolutely a language. As are natural languages.

>A language is a set of sentences. A sentence is a finite sequence of symbols drawn from an alphabet.

A language is a structured system of communication used to express arbitrary ideas between multiple parties. Math operation tables do not, and cannot, do that on their own.

That distinction matters here because we are talking about what properties the model is expected to learn. English and operation tables are fundamentally different objects, so it is not surprising that a model learns different kinds of structure from them.

> Here we ask whether, in a task where gestures are particularly useful—namely, spontaneous demonstration in which no real object is present—speakers of a high-gesture (Italian) and a low-gesture (Dutch) culture show similarities or differences in how they teach to adults versus children.

Correct but it doesn’t invalidate my question :)
