I generally set up the rules of engagement for a project in the AGENTS.md file and if it starts to get large break out to more specific files referenced from AGENTS.md to keep the constant per-request token overhead lower.

For Python, I have the agent use `uv` (even for direct script invocations) so that the agent doesn't need to burn tokens concerning itself with the details that `uv` is managing behind the scenes.

For a second I misread that as "The chipmunks at 16X speed" and was seriously confused.

I had a high school friend that was born here in the US but his family were Vietnamese immigrants many many years ago. We'd often hang out at his family's house and they were very welcoming and had a "family" style cooking approach with large pots of cooked rice, vegetables and other things set out and you were welcome to always grab a bowl. They often imported native food stuffs so I was fond of the spices and peppers they often cooked with.

One day, I ended up over at his house before he actually had returned home from school. I was hungry and no one was actually at the house at that moment in time and I just helped myself to a bowl of rice and vegetables and there was this extremely stringy looking dried meat that was also set out. So I helped myself to some of that as well.

As I was eating, my friend showed up and I commented on the unique flavor of the meat because it didn't taste like chicken, pork, etc and asked him what it was. He deadpan looked me in the face and told me it was dog.

After that, I always made sure to verify what exactly it was I was consuming rather than helping myself. I don't know what the point of this post really is - but I'm glad that dog meat consumption is on the decline and I could have lived the rest of my life without knowing what dog meat tastes like.

It wasn't bad.

I strongly suspect that it has had an impact on my insulin sensitivity as well.

My diet consisted mostly of lean meats like chicken and vegetables.

Similar experience here on minimal dose of GLP-1. There is definitely something going on here other than "you are just losing weight and that's really why you are healthier".

With my labs at my current weight you can not tell that I am a type 2 diabetic. Previously, when I was at this very same weight in the past - all my labs indicated I was prediabetic.

I noticed he does pay attention to feedback on his videos and I think some people have pointed that out.

It's a relatively new channel - but yeah - I feel the guy puts a lot of effort into what he does and deserves more subs.

I really worry about what happens to Valve as a company after he steps down.

Unless enterprise customers are screaming for MV2 compatibility I would expect Microsoft to make no effort at all to maintain a working MV2 implementation in Edge.

Yeah, once Google has ripped all the MV2 code out of chromium it'll be very interesting to see how long the chromium reskins are able to maintain their private forks.

I also expect Google to be a bad actor and do everything in its power to pointlessly refactor the chromium codebase specifically to make keeping MV2 alive as painful as possible.

I'm not denying that X11 has known security issues. However, I don't tend to run untrusted random gui applications on my system so that factors into the risks I'm willing to accept.
