Qwen 3.8 27b is not smarter than other 27b models. Smarter, as in its ability to recognize minute yet important facts has not changed. If you ask it a for a code sample it produces a better sample, true, but it has not…
tl;dr it changes the weights, it does not add new ones. RL makes the model better within its capabilities, it does not increase the total ceiling of the model. Ie does not make it smarter. Qwen 3.8 27B is a great model,…
You keep ignoring my arguments with nothing substantive, then grab on to one thing as if that makes a difference. You've never experienced crypto bros saying invest or get left behind, you've never seen AI bros say…
> ... the pace of progress has continued on it's exponential trajectory since ChatGPT first came to the public's attention. Did it? Model wise? I would understand agents wise, sure. But model wise? The attention to…
Earliest fossils for homo sapiens is 315000 years old, earliest neanderthal fossils are 430000 years. Keep in mind these are fossils and they need certain conditions to fossilize to begin with. That's a huge range of…
> Interesting! Agents are the presumed bottleneck for recursive self-improvement. They might be, but we haven't reached to local maximum yet in my opinion. Qwen 3.8 27b models are impressive despite their low parameter…
You keep bringing up Zitron without addressing anything, without my point having nothing to do with him or his arguments. I will engage one last time in good faith. Can AI Labs be profitable without achieving AGI or…
That's an association fallacy. And revenue has no indication on training costs in this context. Subscription usage is going down steadily and any increase is an instant incredible deal. Opus 5.5 is the outlier. Despite…
How about the simplest explanation? * AI Labs hit the scaling wall. They need either new techniques, or vastly more powerful hardware to advance further. This explains, the miraculous incompetence of AI labs in securing…
Yet when I wanted the model to implement the naive surface nets algorithm, Astra Max wrote 5+ allocations on inner loops. Alright, fine perhaps, given that I had not told it to preallocate during the inner loops. Except…
Part2: 1) LSPs. They are probably most productive tool in a programmers belt. Even now, if I had to work on a giant amorphous code base that changes on the whim of hundreds of individual maintainers, I would use an LSP.…
I visit HN every so often but never felt the need to comment, until just a few minutes ago. Yes, what you've described, I also went through something similar. I've been programming little over two decades now. Been an…
