    1. Codex asks you to review each plugin hook before it runs. Postman's installer tries to approve its own
    2. I replaced vector-search RAG with Markdown + Knowledge Graphs using Claude CLI. The results surprised me.
    3. STOP COMPACTING WITH A DIFFERENT MODEL. This solves many problems!

    1. Elegant solution to keep personal per-project agent instructions and skills versioned without committing them to public repositories
    2. Giving an AI agent real access to your computer usually means one of two things: approving every single step until you stop reading, or setting up heavy isolation most people skip.

    1. Can a 1-trillion-parameter model run on a 64 GB desktop? I built an open-source engine to find out, and it already beats llama.cpp on models bigger than RAM.
    2. First paper on how to train actual SOTA Decision Models ever: full playbook - architecture, datasets, training, evaluation, inference [R]
    3. apple-llm 0.3: local STT, Apple’s on-device LLM, and TTS in one Node/Python package

    1. I cut my LLM-as-judge eval costs ~70% with prompt-cache engineering and a cheap decision-model cascade
    2. I gave an on-call agent long-term incident memory. It started ruling out look-alike incidents.
    3. the full precision model is the risky pick on a 16 gb laptop
