Hah yes. Ill throw my own into the ring too https://github.com/boyter/cs although its a lot older than most other tools having been started 7 years ago.

Cursor was an interesting case where they were maintaining an index. I think everyone has converged on not doing that, which is where I started, with BM25 with some tweaks on top.

Notable link related to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnmtJKFonLk where Jo Kristian Bergum (notable in the search space) agrees with BM25 being a good approach for agentic workflows.

Thats what this should be able to do for you. Feel free to hook it in and see if it works. If so please let me know!

Probably? You could look at hotspots using it and determine a human in the loop must happen.

If you do hook this up please let me know, id love to write about it.

Its what I used to migrate to the 6 TB sqlite database... so yes? Depends on your definition of backup. In my case I wanted a way to restore in the case of data loss, so yes. Im sure some pedantic sql admin will disagree with me here.

You are welcome.

Id like to see that fork. Perhaps I can fold some of it in.

Tooting my own horn here for search but give https://github.com/boyter/cs a go. You can have a http server up if you like (even modify the templates) and have it sync your repos for you on a schedule you define.

Let me know if it fails in some area and I’ll fix it.

It came to a head with that story about the kid making a clock and getting in trouble. Leo was all in on one side that it was about racism and such, with John suggesting he fell for a media lie.

I think John turned out to be right in the end. They did seem to patch things up with John appearing on a episode years later I think "a christmas miracle" was the title, but that was the last time he was on as far as I know.

When Leo cut off Dvroak and CJal I turned out. You really do need that sort of personality for people to bounce off otherwise its less entertaining.
