LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

<#
Create Unix VM's.

PREREQUISITES:
    - A VM that has been installed with an OS that supports cloud-init
    - cloud-init is installed on the vm

How it works:
    - Asks for a bunch of parameters
    - Creates a disk from parent vhdx for speed

Informatic

cloud-init is absolute cancer. Its code is horrible. It has no documentation at all.

It took me 5 fucking hours to figure out how to properly configure networking on recent cloud-init (Ubuntu 16.04 cloud image) with local datasource.

It's not mentioned anywhere you need to provide dsmode: local. (but only if you need network-config, besides that everything is fine; someone below noted that -m flag does the same thing, good to know) Of course nobody needs documentation for network-config format either. (cloudinit/net/__init__.py is a protip, enjoy the feces dive)

Oh, and by the way - no, it's not possible to provide network-config to uvt-kvm without patching shit.
