Looks like the preamble to RSI. Very exciting and spooky
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…

icloud account ban any% speedrun
Apple ships one of the fastest, highest-capacity free object stores in the world and nobody is using it. Inspired by @ironseth_s I found a way to get ~12 TB for $0. Paying $0.023/GB for AWS S3 is a skill issue. Use icloud as s3 as the goat of object stores. 284x faster than r2. Seth, let's add this to your stack!

Oot Remake stuff / spoilers, be warned: I asked someone who has the game to record a clip of hookshotting a chest for me. Be forewarned this clip is in Water Temple, but, here is your answer on if it works or not for anyone who cares since it's been discussed many times...

Dampe RNG has been solved on OoT When Dampe blinks, he flutters his eyes either 3 or 4 times. By taking note of how long each blink is and putting them in a calculator, the possible RNG seeds can eventually be narrowed down to guarantee the heart piece, at the cost of some waiting.

I've been working on learning how to mod for Halo 2. I've finished my first project and am ready to show it off. Its got 20 hand crafted stars from a few different SM64 levels and a bossfight at the end. All of this is running on an Original Xbox running the Default Halo 2!

switch 2 having homebrew already is still so crazy to me lol
WIP scene viewer for Bananza. The scene formats are very similar to SMO, but obviously different due to the voxel system. This will hopefully allow us to find more layer skips in the speedrun.

I love that this type of scenario happens in so many gaming communities Ancient YouTube comment or forum post about a weird glitch that doesn’t get explained until 20 years later
