DeepSeek V4 Impresses, Powering Bizarre Full-Moon Code Reset Study
Teknium · x · 2026-08-01
Teknium praised DeepSeek's new model, marveling at its power and ability to run on minimal hardware (two GPUs). He quoted a quirky study facilitated by the model, which found a statistical correlation between a developer's code resets and the full moon.
Analyzing 42 resets over 317 days, the research found 10 occurred within a ±3.7-day window of a full moon (vs. 5.25 expected). The directional significance (p = 0.0313) suggests the developer is just one full-moon reset away from statistically proving he is a 'werewolf'.
