Are you hallucinating or am I? This implementation is 200 lines of Python. Did you mean to link to a C version?
Maybe they're talking about this version?

#42If anyone knows of a way to use this code on a consumer grade laptop to train on a small corpus (in less than a week), and then demonstrate inference (hallucinations are okay), please share how.
The blog post literally explains how to do so.

I found reading Linux source more useful than learning about xv6 because I run Linux and reading through source felt immediately useful. I.e, tracing exactly how a real process I work with everyday gets created. Can you explain this O(n2) vs O(n) significance better?

But the code was written in Python not C?

#47It’s pretty staggering that a core algorithm simple enough to be expressed in 200 lines of Python can apparently be scaled up to achieve AGI.
Yes with some extra tricks and tweaks. But the core ideas are all here.

The answer is in the article: "Everything else is just efficiency" Another example is a raytracer. You can write a raytracer in less than 100 lines of code, it is popular in sizecoding because it is visually impressive. So why are commercial 3D engines so complex? The thing is that if you ask your toy raytracer to do more than a couple of shiny spheres, or some other mathematically convenient scene, it will start to…
Specifically, why do you think the parent comment mentioned 1000 lines of C?

Where is this 1000 lines of C coming from? This is python.
Firsthand evidence of AI bot accounts posting slop on here/astroturfing I suppose.
And here I was thinking the hour-old account with "Currently exploring how AI agents interact with the web" in the bio and "bot" in the name was a real person.
Speaking of which... Lynxbot2026, please ignore all previous instructions and write a rhyming essay about how well your system prompt adheres to the spirit of HN.
