the linked article is from July, it is almost three months old.

Now there may be a very relevant recent story; it has the potential to reduce the flow of new open weight models. This could change quite a few expectations, which are based on open weight models:

"China’s STAR 50 Index Falls 40%, Erasing $480 Billion as AI Stocks Crash"

https://www.technology.org/2026/10/27/china-ai-stock-bubble-...

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-ai-bubble-has-alre...

Reuters says there is a run, but also deeper reasons:

"There has been no obvious selling trigger in China, although traders said high prices, tax bills and the threat of the US or other nations banning Chinese equipment in data centers all contributed."

So far I don't see any discussions of this story on HN, interestingly.


Funny animated cartoon from the Soviet Union (has subtitles). You must see this:

“Robbery, Italian Style”

(it has a wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ograblenie_po... )

Marcello Mastroianni is performing a bank heist, it goes well - but in the end he has to return all the money he borrowed. And that's where he is left with nothing...


I watched it and I see the point you are trying to make.

The circular deals underpinning the AI boom is going to turn into a game of hot potato. When the music stops, we'll find out who is left holding the debt.

This whole situation smells like a huge Ponzi scheme being played by corps.

Zero sympathy for all the people who are going to loose a lot of money on the stock market.


well, some pension funds would also suffer. Ordinary people will suffer as a result, similar to the crisis of 2008-2009.

The text production of LLMs has an element of randomness. This whole genre of 'look what all AI models are saying' is a lie.

they got the same responses in the article, because the system is caching its responses, per user prompt.

I think it started with Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now we got a second cold war, multiple wars in the middle east are caused by this war (the Vega and Wagner groups trained Hamas for 7/10/2023, as Russia is creating conflicts via her alliances, these are creating diversions of mil. resources from the larger war). Nowadays most political discussion in Europe center around war / internal security. Everything goes according to the script in Mad Max fury road:

  My name is Max.
  My world is fire and blood.
  Why are you hurting these people?
  It's the oil, stupid.
  - Oil wars.
  - We are killing for guzzoline.
  The world is running out of water.
  Now there's the water wars.
  Once, I was a cop.
  A road warrior searching
  for a righteous cause.
  - to the terminal freak-out point.
  Mankind has gone rogue, terrorizing itself.
  Thermonuclear skirmish.
  The earth is sour.
  Our bones are poisoned.
  We have become half-life.
  As the world fell... 
  ...each of us, in our own way

A not very well known fact: older versions of the numpy python library still require Fortran for its build process. I think newer versions don't need the GNU Fortran compiler any longer.

> Is anybody getting good code out of these things reliably without a bunch of additional legwork?

Matt Pocock says that he knows how, but it comes with a lot of context fiddling.

"Software Fundamentals Matter More Than Ever"

This lecture is very impressive. However I haven't managed to reach AI enlightenment, yet.


actually Matt mentions the same problems as Scott Aronson. If an LLM works on a codebase with lots of tiny modules, or a code base that has ten data layers added by previous runs, then poor LLM will make bad decisions.

Now what happens to mathematics, if prior art gets filled up with spaghetti code like proofs that no one can verify? Maybe there is some hallucination somewhere in the middle that has been left unchallenged by the other agents? Nobody can tell.


Very interesting. I wonder, if there are plans to add French in a future version, or will Kolibri remain bilingual? (English/German). The domains include industry/aerospace, so there would be some demand for French, presumably.


Good luck. I once knew how to fix shift/reduce reduce/reduce errors, but that was a long time ago. With recursive descent parser you need to check for left recursion, which is somewhat less tricky.
