I have a tool wrapper that captures the output of anything and allows the LLM to query it later, to save on tokens. It “smartly” truncates the output (basically like Node’s util.inspect) and allows the LLM to expand truncated content.

It basically is called like “capture some-cli” and it… captures the CLI output, outputting a subset of it + a handle to continue querying.

This for me solves the danger of a tool returning tons of content.

I failed horribly and might as well used a random coin toss

There was a farm nearby where a mother cat died and all but two kittens died from hunger afterwards. We adopted one, my wife fed the kitten (which was way underage for adopting) with bottle.

Now she has been with us for years. She’s very loyal to me, dismissive to aggressive to anyone else. Not sure why me and not my wife, but hey :)

She basically sleeps next to me all the time, both when I work from home or at night. She’s 14 now, no medical issues.

That’s a lot of money and effort for a fake photo

Well, so you can base84 encode your filenames for example. (Jk)

My main concern is the loose matching that comes with it where you can refer to any file or folder using any case without issue

And don’t you dare changing it unless you like random bugs

Worktrees or sandboxes. You can tell Claude to put its stuff in a worktree. I can easily develop any amount of features in the same codebase because they all run in their own worktree

You can have a camera doorbell using your copper wire.

With a video doorbell you can get notifications when a person enters your property. You can notify police or neighbors if it’s a stranger

Don't developers configure their LLM tools to only be able to access things the user using the LLM should have access to?

Gotta love the LP4 mode. So much music on a single disk! Remember the cool rectangular batteries? Why aren't these gumstick batteries more used in modern devices!?

I'll 100% try DuckDB in more serious projects where I would normally use Sqlite.
