Project mention: The Smallest Brain You Can Build: A Perceptron in Python | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-07
The first AI winter was largely triggered by Minsky in a book he published in 1969, which mathematically proved that single-layer perceptrons couldn't solve non-linear problems. Favorite quote: "Our intuitive judgment is that the extension [to multilayer systems] is sterile."
Yet we had the computational power to run backpropagation in the 1960s and small Transformers in the 1970s (I'm the author of both):

What was missing wasn't the raw processing power, but the ideas and algorithms themselves. Because funding and research were completely discouraged after Minsky's critique, neural networks research was left dormant for decades.
