What do you mean? Tool is a pretty generic concept.

> Update: Since these measurements were taken, Claude Code has rolled out Tool Search with Deferred Loading, which loads MCP tool schemas on-demand and reduces context usage by 85%+. The context bloat described in Problem 1 is largely addressed for users on current Claude Code versions. The performance, debugging, and architectural arguments below still apply.

Because Claude Code only loads the tools it needs now, so context bloat is pretty much solved for MCPs.

Apparently the condition is called hyperthymesia.

Ambidextrous means: "that the person has no marked preference for the use of the right or left hand".

Unlike what is normally assumed, it doesn't mean you've mastered both hands, it doesn't imply you can write equally well with the left or the right, but that you could have just as easily learned either. You had no marked preference when you picked up the activity initially.

Cross-dominance seem to imply there was a marked preference, but that it is the left or right hand differs per activity.

That said, I wonder if they're really the same. Often people say ambidextrous as you are equally good with both hands, which would always require practice on both side. But maybe cross-dominant people can equally learn?

Under that reading, cross-dominance could be what ambidexterity actually looks like in practice. If you genuinely have no preference, there's no reason you'd consistently land on the same hand across all activities, you'd be influenced by context, who taught you, which hand was free, etc.

Have you ever tried your other hand at activities? And are you surprisingly good with it, even if not as good? I tend to be better using my other hand at most things than say a fully right handed person, but never as good as the hand I've been using for that activity consistently.

I'd rather an article that argues about if this pollution cost that is being externalized to Texans to pay, justified and a net win for them, and if it is, than what's holding up the permits, and if not, then why is this permitted at all, even if partially.

Did it even explain that? I'm ambidextrous, I have no handedness bias, so whichever I pick up to first learn something is the hand I use. So I'm a mix of left-handed and right-handed depending on the task. And yet I didn't really understand why that's odd because of my bipedalism?

A skill cannot provide MCPs and can't provide custom template prompts, each skill is it's own slash command.

A plugin you can define N number of custom slash commands, and you can define MCPs as well as skills. So it bundles like all the things together.

By installing a plugin, you are basically installing a bunch of MCPs, skills and custom slash command prompts.

That's why if you are a business, the risk of a recession is a real threat. Someone will recapture your market once the recession is over, but will you?

That also means people will lose their jobs, price of goods will rise, the pressure to need to dip into one's savings will increase, forcing many people into cashing out at the worse possible time. If you are someone with that risk, as an individual, a recession is a real threat as well, and you might want to reduce your market exposure beforehand.

Their thinking is more: instead of funding another internal product team, they can redirect that payroll spend into more AI compute and models they hope to monetize.

I don't believe CloudFlare is doing that, though they might, they could be needing to spend in Edge AI compute and what not, building out that infra isn't free, so they might need to find places the cash will come from.
