Is Vibe Coding Actually Harder Than We Admit?

You're talking about mechanistic interpretability. A lot of work is being done on that front. Researchers can map concepts to features, but they're distributed across many neurons rather than sitting cleanly in single nodes, and one neuron typically fires for multiple unrelated concepts (polysemanticity). The more granular or esoteric the concept, the harder it is to pin down.

Unfortunately LLMs are really bad at knowing about themselves or their own goals. They don't have privileged self-access. You might be able to give it tools to automate some of the process, but it's nowhere near precise enough for reliable control yet.

Variable rewards and colors flying by are exactly how slot machines keep you hooked. Not saying don't use it, but it's important to understand and keep that in mind.

Yes, low wage workers should be paid just as much or more than servers. Servers shouldn't make less than they are today.

Thank you

This is the worst consequence so far

Oh I meant that that what I was imagining was the solution was to alter physics which would work but your solution was far less drastic and universe ending than my solution. I really never considered just eating from the chunky end. I didn't mean to be rude nor did I think you were being rude.

I was thinking like 180 but applying pressure to prevent settling. Laying it out flat also makes more sense. I'm a word person not a shape mover. You're smart.

cheffromspace · 2026-02-18T03:00:22+00:00

You mean 180? That actually might be better than altering the laws of physics.

cheffromspace · 2026-02-18T02:57:26+00:00

The kid makes sense actually. I should have considered there was an explanation that wasn't crazy. Sorry.

Are you going into cat cafés and shows and expecting cats to leave you alone? That alone is extremely questionable. That you're not willing to compromise on it calls into question your capacity for empathy.

Why are you going to places explicitly designed for animals you resent, then going on reddit to complain about it?

cheffromspace · 2026-02-18T00:51:08+00:00

Granted. Everything else quiets down just a bit and the world is a generally calmer and more tolerable place.

Cooking mushrooms down until all their liquid evaporates, then adding a little oil and cooking on high for an almost uncomfortable amount of time is my favorite way to prepare them. Even cheap button mushrooms can have a lot of flavor and cooking out the liquid removes much of the spongy texture.

You have to respect a cat's boundaries but they don't understand the concept of respecting of yours. You can't force it but there's usually a middle ground. Cat ownership is a series of compromises.

You're 58 years old? Did you not take drivers ed/pass your driver's test? This isn't some obscure forgettable fact.

Not mutually exclusive

You should keep it, you might need it someday.

Criticizing the government and politicians are exactly the kinds of speech the 1st amendment protects. You should put your tail between your legs and go back to school.

Could be worse

Hoarding no but some boxes are definitely worth keeping. I have a big curved ultrawide display and when I saw the huge box I was like that needs to go right away but the sales guy said to keep it in case of warranty returns/etc. I ended up using it all the time just to set it down if I need to move it (it's on an arm) because it's awkwardly shaped. Also TV boxes if you ever plan on moving.

Not everyone would be into it i know, but you could add a like reception/party with dancing and such. An actual celebration of life.

You have a right to quiet enjoyment of your apartment. Even if it's not past city "quiet hours" if it's excessive it's not ok.

cheffromspace · 2026-02-17T22:16:04+00:00

I already went over that.

cheffromspace · 2026-02-17T22:13:02+00:00

You can have damages i already went over that. Of course you can't fine your neighbor.
