I guess some people just actually enjoy computing and see it as more than a race to the end goal. I think these people feel like something is being taken from them when LLMs are used to reach a goal they were working towards without it.

I'm working on a small Sokoban game and have generated some simple PNGs of each level. I wonder if anyone would be interested in my posting the PNGs to solve in your head? I have 1k+ levels. #sokoban #puzzle #math

Still seems to be missing the point but ok. Not trying to argue. Have a good one!

Someone should redo the Bun Rust port with DeepSeek Flash just to make a point and get tech bros to stop talking about it.

The topic isn't about rewriting Chromium. It's about browser compliance. Rewriting Chromium in a different language doesn't help that. The point is that you can't reasonably just throw AI at hard engineering/design problems like this. The bun rewrite doesn't make software a solved problem.

Are you implying that porting chromium to rust would make it more compliant? What even is your argument here? I don't understand how the bun port is related to this post.

This is also pretty common in the southwest US. I don't usually see this kind of thing in the northwest where it rains a lot though. I think the erosion happens too quickly.

Interesting how much the roads can look like rivers in the macro. Old roads that follow routes which formed "organically" probably have a lot of analogs to rivers really.

Low key cracks me up that everyone used to complain about my messages being too long. Now everyone is cursed with LLMs who write _even more than I do_ when giving what should be a simple answer.

Finally got the time to watch this. Very impressive. I had no idea you were _that deep_ into proc gen stuff. This was very cool. A bit over my head in some parts if we're being honest, and I consider myself a pretty big proc gen nerd haha.

Really though, that wouldn't make the LLM "self aware". It wouldn't really be introspecting or self reflecting. It would just be debugging a copy of itself and nothing more. That being said, this could *look a lot like introspection*.

replicat🧩zero. @signedzero.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
There's just no way that any LLM I'm aware of could reasonably do any of that. Several pretty major roadblocks there. But I'm sure people much smarter than me are trying to solve that.

Even if it could somehow understand the opaque blob of its own weights, it would need a full copy of the tokenized context to understand what happened. Essentially it would need to run a full copy of *itself* in a debug mode of some kind.

replicat🧩zero. @signedzero.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
The weights would be billions of tokens even for a really small model. Even if you could somehow set up RAG to allow it to access it's weights in small chunks, the weights are still an opaque binary blob.

replicat🧩zero. @signedzero.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Not trying to be argumentative here, but that's not really what introspection means. My point is that you can't ask an LLM why it got confused or misunderstood a request and expect an answer that has any basis in reality.

I might have a pretty strange workflow for creating my audio plugin videos. I basically make them in a DAW using automation lanes to show plugin features, then record the screen. These are maybe 10% of the automation lanes...

If you think about it, this is kinda like GTA in the sense that the game is fun, but doing anything like this is real like it's completely unethical.
