I've been chatting with the new Qwen model, Qwen3-Coder, which was just unveiled last night.

Umm... what does this one (v.1.4) add?

As it says on the wiki page, "Version 1.4 productivity now biased similarly to other properties."

By way of testing this new Qwen model, I fed it the world-script and asked, "What suggestions or observations can you offer?"

And it replied, inter-alia,* "Suggestion: The productivity modification doesn't use the biases system; it applies a random percentage change in either direction. Consider whether it should also be influenced by a bias for consistency, or if the current random fluctuation is intentional."

Oops, I knew that was a finish-later item when I first created it, but somewhere along the way I just completely forgot about it.**

* What does this phrase actually mean?
** It's funny how that keeps happening.

I'd always understood it to mean "amongst others" with "others" left nice and vague.

What... you mean that it is funny that you are a human being like the rest of us?
