this is a more common occurrence than "CEO refunded me my money." would have you believe. LLMs specialize in self-apologetic catastrophe, which is why we run agents or any LLMs with 'filesystem powers' in a VM, with a gi

if you think a 'cheap sensor' is doing much of anything without the involvement of an algorithm somewhere then might I suggest you try to use (any) cheap sensor. algorithms are one of the only things that make cheap equipment usab

that's really just a scale question. Yes, I would write a 4 line bash script by myself. But if you're trading a 200 line comprehensive claude.md document for a module that might be 20k LoC? it's a different value proposition.
