Noether didn't just revolutionize physics — she introduced the kind of structural thinking that is now part of the water mathematicians and programmers swim in. Haskellers who point at various operations and say "this is a monad" are following in the footsteps of Noether

I picked crafting interpreters + esolang 2 days back and @dtemkin.bsky.social upcoming new book popped on my feed. Nature ( aka algo gods) giving signs I am on right path.
Can You Code With Pictures? Esoteric Languages Challenge How We Code
Esoteric languages spark creativity by challenging conventional coding. Daniel Temkin is writing codes to confront the lack of creativity in AI code.

the real reason it's a poor model is that modern LLM chatbots are not actually modeling next-token prediction
the pretraining objective is "predict the next token", but the post-training objective is closer to "create a response that is correct, properly formatted, and in line with style+safety"
the pretraining objective is "predict the next token", but the post-training objective is closer to "create a response that is correct, properly formatted, and in line with style+safety"
"It just predicts the next token based on data in the training set" is a poor abstraction of LLMs because it makes poor predictions
For example, we might predict that it's very difficult to have an LLM emit the phrase "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cvnpmnzq", but it's trivial

For a moment I assumed that neuro-sama must has been an abbreviation from neuro-Sam Altman, but they're actually an LLM-powered vtuber huh

> Half of AI agents are blind; the other half are deaf.
Current AI agents are perceptually limited. To illustrate how, I created a site that only some AI agents can see.

general question, was mathematics invented in the right order
How is it that vectors and matrices weren't a thing until the 19th century but analytical mechanics and functional analysis were already things in the 18th century?????
