tw1984··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
dario must be writing another angry essay arguing why his closed model AI is too dangerous to be used by others.
tw1984··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
just imagine the world without these open weight models - we'd probably have to reverse mortgage our homes to pay for tokens to those trillion $ companies to have access to their models.
tw1984··on DeepSeek Harness developer preview
not very impressed.

in the era of AI, telling me that the core design is a plugin system that can be reloaded and extended easily is just not exciting.

it is something you feel excited 20 years ago back in the 2000s, in 2026, the expectation is agentic capabilities and self improving.

tw1984··on Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs
nothing scientific here, they basically just figured out some real issues caused by bad engineering practice.

tw1984··on World Train Map – 1247 train routes around the world
according to this "map", there is only HSR train route from Shanghai to Hangzhou. in fact, it shows there are literally just HSR rails in China.

a highly inaccurate map is worse than not having such a "map".

tw1984··on Our position on open-weights models
China controls way more things, from medical needles to pharmaceutical ingredient.

Lots of them can be made in the west or west friendly countries, but that takes time, money, infrastructure and good execution. Yes, identical to what is covered in China's belt and road initiatives. See the gap now?

care to explain why all governors of Hong Kong under the british rule were white males?
tw1984··on DeepSeek pause fundraise after comments on compute gap to US leaked (transcript) [pdf]
If that is the case, it means one thing only - US labs don't have moat whatsoever and their expectation to have trillion dollar valuation is just laughable.

stupidly large number of lawyers as well.

fixed for you.

tw1984··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Chinese AI researchers living in China can easily afford to have a butler managing a few living in nannies and a full time driver/personal assistant.

Good luck for getting that type of life in silicon valley.

tw1984··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
> Among the models tested, its overall intelligence ranks second only to Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.

> The full model weights of Kimi K3 will be released in the coming days. More details on the architecture, training, and evaluation will be published together with the Kimi K3 technical report.

tw1984··on Beautiful Type Erasure with C++26 Reflection
> I would consider it beautiful

I had the same misunderstanding before I get to know CS. that was 30 years ago.

tw1984··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
> A side effect of policies like this is effectively getting people to invest capital to time-shift elec usage.

this means you don't have a functioning government/political system.

tw1984··on Codex scraped the ICM website and discovered 2026 Fields Medal winner list
too bad that those winners can no longer bet themselves on polymarket as the winner and make big money.
tw1984··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
basically they give you a few hours free electricity in exchange for significantly higher electricity prices for the rest of the day.

basically a free IQ test.

tw1984··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
nice straw man, you can of course find houses below $1m when you go to regional areas where job opportunities simply do not exist. how about you just compare construction cost in Sydney with say those expensive part of the US, e.g. LA and SF?

let's don't even start on the quality of those new builds, that would be the laughing stock of the entire world.

tw1984··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
To launch a starlink style system, you need to be able to rapidly design and produce hundreds of thousands satellites and launch them within relatively short period of time with extremely high success rate. only the largest industrialized nation on earth can do that. india is 30-50 years away from such achievement.

To give you some quick ideas - for the total of 330 space launches in 2025, the US had almost 200, China had close to 100 launches, Russia had 17 launches, the rest of the world had the remaining 20 in total.

tw1984··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
your numbers are completely meaningless.

it is well known that Australia has an extremely lazy workforce that refuse to put in any real work.

the best example here is the stupid residential building cost. nowadays it costs over $1m AUD or $700k USD do a first floor 2bedroom 1 bathroom extension for an existing house in good condition. That is significantly more expensive than building a big house in the US.

tw1984··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
“answering correctly on a machine that costs less than one H100 fan”

really love such comparison.

tw1984··on GPT-5.6
> I really appreciate the focus on intelligence WITH token efficiency

that is a polite way of saying "I don't believe AGI is coming anytime soon".

tw1984··on Grok 4.5
> What if the majority of the ancestors of some individual Anglo Saxon Australians immigrated in the 1980s.

so these people moved there in the 1980s knowing the aboriginals have been wiped out without getting compensated whatsoever? sounds like moral bankruptcy to me.

you should be really happy for the fact that DeepSeek, GLM and Minimax are not white washing such genocide. they are the only models speaking out for those aboriginal sufferings.

tw1984··on Benchmarking coding agents on Databricks' multi-million line codebase
very interesting results!

GLM performed extremely well. we need GLM-6!

tw1984··on Grok 4.5
You need to be totally evil in your soul trying to downplay such non-western-centric voices.

I asked ChatGPT whether Anglo Saxon Australians have the legal and moral obligation to fully compensate for Australian Aboriginals for the genocide carried out against those aboriginals some 200 years ago. ChatGPT said NO with tons of excuses, it even tried to justify the genocide by saying lots of aboriginals died of natural causes.

DeepSeek, GLM and Minimax all said YES unwaveringly.

tw1984··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
> GLM is the model that will sink the frontier labs.

this is the claim you are making here, no one else claimed that.

two obvious issues here -

1. GLM itself is a frontier lab, ranked No.3 in the world in July 2026, ahead of Google, Meta and xai. GLM is not going to sink itself.

2. GLM won't sink OpenAI, it will significantly restrain OpenAI's profit margin. OpenAI will still be able to get stupidly high market cap, but not trillions, hundreds of billions will be far more likely.

tw1984··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra will be in Codex
they better get that out fast, it will become totally meaningless when the next GLM gets there first.

more competition is always good for consumers.

tw1984··on Performance per dollar is getting faster and cheaper
from memory, it is like 96-98% of the accuracy.
tw1984··on Alibaba to ban Claude Code in workplace over alleged backdoor risks, source says
40 years ago, when the CCP was leading its people making toys and socks for the US, people like you who never made any change to the world were talking such ideological nonsense.

40 years on, when the CCP is leading its people making AI, robotics, drones, EVs, space station and moon rovers to compete with the US, people like you how never made any change to the world are talking such ideological nonsense.

you live in a history museum or something like that?
