did people say the same thing when assembly code got abstracted away?

[orblivion]

There's levels of abstraction. "lines of Python" to me roughly means the standard library.

[sciolist]

Agreed. If it was "RLHF a LLM in <50 lines" I feel it would be clear, but "lines of Python" implies something different.

Importing a library is not abstraction any more than closing your eyes is abstracting the world to black.

The point of libraries is abstraction. You get to use the library without writing the library or knowing the underlying implementation.
