It's more or less an abomination. Dropping the frameworks and js jazz you could have most of the features of either of these sites served in the kb range. It would save millions of dollars in electricity, billions in infrastructure, and be more secure.

Yes that strong. Its only lacking in context length, but it's not that small there and it gets caught in circles more often then say a 1t parameter model does.

That's why a lot of people have been freaking out about local LLMs since april. There's finally a decent model that runs locally on a GPU or two that can do agentic programming at a reasonable enough tokens per second.

I could see some applications for it. But they are selling it as a mode of transportation?

By whether or not it is disrupting other users access to the resource like what happened in the article? By how much it effects our very finite water table. Things like that sound reasonable to me

Why use zig when you can use odin?

Qwen3.6 27b is a really strong model.

You see we socialize the losses and capitalize the profits. Works great for everyone

Management literally doesn't realize that you can't exactly vibe code a serious project? Maybe they just don't care and it's an experiment. Super low risk I guess, depending on the city they might pay the floor cleaner more than that.

It's an important touch point for other code owners. I guess if no one is looking at the code anymore why even do an AI code review. It's kind of theatrical?

I seriously don't know how people are working like this now. I'm on my ass looking for work and in the last month it feels like everyone has completely lost their minds.

It's out there. Maybe it's not serious but it is kind of a weird thing to post on multiple job boards.

All these luddites out here. The cats out of the bag. Get with the program. Give the AI nukes already.

Yea it's vibe/agentic coding. That's what about half of the current jobs are right now. It's really sad. Saw a vibe coder job today, 20bucks an hour

Laid off ai workers are cheaper. I saw a job posting for a vibe coder, 20 bucks an hour.

If they tried to lock down local models more people would use them. They would also have to take down a few us companies in the process who would go down fighting for certain.

Basically "screw any part about employees working together do what I say fast". What a shame. I love the AI bros who think utopia is coming, 4 day work weeks, etc. more like "get screwed, work more, for less, in worse environments".

Completely agree. I would even shift the 18months up a bit. I have been impressed with qwen3.6
