zdkaster··on Kubernetes on Oxide: How customer needs shaped our integrations
It's a private cloud. I guess you might not be a target customer.
zdkaster··on Interview with Mitchell Hashimoto about Ghostty and Zig
I'm neutral. But sadly, this seems to be always the case when the unorthodox rising star emerges in the society.
zdkaster··on Modernizing Kernel Cryptography [video]
Eric Biggers (Google) on why the Linux kernel's crypto API is hard to use and slow — dynamic allocations, indirect calls, abstraction that fits neither modern algorithms nor modern hardware.
zdkaster··on Rust is in TIOBE Index top 10
It's a bit hard to comprehend that's reality to be honest. But I could see that it could be the case from the fact that old industrial factories or old corporates would still run with what works for them.
zdkaster··on Rust is in TIOBE Index top 10
Oh, thanks for the info. That's suprisingly a weird index to measure usage popularity...
zdkaster··on Rust is in TIOBE Index top 10
What's more interesting is Visual Basic is ranked as #7 and I couldn't get my head around why this is the case, lol.
zdkaster··on Systemd v261 Released
Systemd v261 has been released, some changes are including: - a new IMDS (Cloud "Instance Metadata Service") Subsystem - "boot secret" functionality for use on systems that lack a physical TPM - support for the kernel's Live Update Orchestration (LUO) / Kexec Handover (KHO) systems when they are present and enabled
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
I have just put the comparison in the repo in case you want to checkout.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Afaik, caveman does shorten sentences in coversation but lowfat is picking up what matter from cli ouput. That's a different output target.

You can control what you want to feed to the agent. Keep what it needs, discard what it doesn't.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
I have just been using it for 2 months, so... lmao. might need a year and with more users to test out how it will go.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Understood. Didn't mean as a click-bait or something. Just sharing my cli report summarize.

Target user here in HN should be tech-savy and this tool is not designed for non-tech because it is required highly customized from user to get the result user want.

Anway, would you mind putting the correct title here ? I will consider to update.

Got it! thanks for your feedback.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Understood. Let me give some examples, most of the time we don't need spaces between table output, git diff produce bunch of unnessary info we just need filename and actual diff lines, kubectl describe we would mostly check for events, image etc etc. This is the reason why I make it as composable filters as it very depends on your specific ops to optimize the token.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Interesting approach. Thanks for sharing.

To be safe if you need a full json, would make conditonal passthrough as the original raw output. Or, need to handle selective object using python via the filter plugin.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Can you elaborate more on why would it so ?
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Frankly, not at all.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
Thanks for your feedback. Will put this in place. Meanwhile, please checkout architecture doc and plugin. The plugin doc could a little bit giving insight of what it does.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
I simply use LLM to create filter for my personal use. I have already put that specific instruction in the plugin doc in case you are interested.
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
In term of token saving performance, it should be on par with rtk since it is basically the same idea. The major different is rtk bundled hundreds of filter logic and no room for user to adjust without maintaing user owned fork or opening the pull request while lowfat is using opposite architectural approach by removing almost all filter logic in the binary and seperate user filters as a plugin system
zdkaster··on Show HN: Lowfat – pluggable CLI filter that saved 91.8% of my LLM tokens
It requires a bit effort in doing long-term adjustment and tuning for your agent common cli tools commands called. kinda need to evolve on day-to-day basis. But, agent itself can be useful to help tuning this.

It has the strip aggressiveness level suport. You can tune up 3 levels for each template output of your stacktrace using lowfat-filter dsl, shellscript or python.

Love the support for neovim integration
zdkaster··on Linux 7.1-rc4: security list "almost unmanageable" from AI bug reports
"AI tools are great, but only if they actually help, rather than cause unnecessary pain and pointless make-believe work."
zdkaster··on AI, the Poor, and the Ignorant
> "...automation tends to de-skill operators. When humans do not practice a skill—either physical or mental—their ability to execute that skill degrades."

We just need to practice the skill we care to practice.

I believe it's that simple.

zdkaster··on Redis array: short story of a long development process
Sadly, we can't really expect any rational like a sane person from this kind of anonymous random user created 14 hours go.
zdkaster··on Redis array: short story of a long development process
Nice try. User created 2 hours ago just to speculative shtpost without evidence.
