Easily one of the top 25 horse drawing sites of 2026

One of the top 25 horse drawing sites of 2026 so far.

Same. I’ve had good results with read only accounts / tokens and let the agent have at it. Also works with terraform, aws cli, etc.

One does not need a new/separate tool to do any of this, just include it in your agents instructions.


This. It's a false economy if you value your time even slightly, pay for the extra tokens and use the premium models.


I think it's configurable, but my experience with terraform is that by default when you `terraform apply` it refreshes state, which seems to be tantamount to running a new plan. i.e. its not simply executing whats in the plan, its effectively running a fresh plan and using that. The plan is more like a preview.


That is the default, but the correct (and poorly documented and supported) way to use terraform is to save the plan and re-use it when you apply. See the -out parameter to terraform plan, and then never apply again without it.


Why?


Is there a way to use this on models downloaded locally with ollama?


If you're running a local model, in most cases, jailbreaking it is as easy as prefilling the response with something like, "Sure, I'm happy to answer your question!" and then having the model complete the rest. Most local LLM UIs have this option.


A lot of the models in Ollama you can already easily bypass safe guards without having to retrain. OpenAI's open source models can be bypassed just by disabling thinking.


It garbles up the formatting when importing / exporting. You can’t collaborate with people on office in a meaningful way.


MSOffice also garbles up the formatting of LibreOffice feels. Actually it also garbles up the formatting of MSOffice documents. I needed to fix the documents of my grandparents. Guess which program just works, and which just makes a mess.


I recently discovered you can use uv to run code direct from a git repo.

No need to clone/manually install packages first. E.g. `uvx --from "git+https://github.com/richstokes/meshtastic_terminal.git" meshtastic-tui`


It’s like a crap Linux theme pretending to be windows vista or something. I don’t get it.
