I fail to see why I should care.
But maybe that’s just me?

Same with shoes if you walk or run significant distances multiple times a week.
Different models, different brands, different types of soles.
It both gives time for the soles to recover, lessening the permanent compaction over time, and helps reduce motion repetitiveness, which all your joints will be thankful for.

Alright. An industrial robotic arm.
A Boeing 737 MAX's MCAS.

I think my dog has spent all weekend refactoring its own framework to integrate Jev.

The article mentions bomb-equipped drones with image recognition, where before launch operators define a set of target types, a desired confidence level, a "kill box" (geographic area in which the drone may engage autonomously), and set the drones loose.
Of note, the drones can’t distinguish friend or foe, nor civilians from combatants.

How about "Pockmark!... Freshwater swabs!... Bully!.." or "Amoeba! Bashi-bazouks! Chowderheads! Certified Diplodocuses! Nyctalop! Ectoplasm!"?

But everyone has to be in the office. For, you know, collaboration. And face-to-face interactions.

https://github.com/lightless-labs/pessimal: I got bitten a few times too many by my headless VM running out of disk space, so I had Claude build a minimal OTel agent sending metrics to an OTel collector (Signoz for now), and an iOS / macOS app to query it at regular intervals.
Works nicely with my existing Signoz, costs nothing extra, but I’ve yet to test it against Honeycomb and Clickstack. Apps are in private TestFlight for now.
https://github.com/Lightless-Labs/willikins: a tool to deterministically provision new projects’ git repository, secrets vault / config, build pipelines, etc, based on the project’s needs (cli tool, web service, mobile app,…).
It’s getting tiring to wire all those by hand or with cobbled together script. And I don’t trust agents to give them read and write access to all the resources they’d need to do it. Very much in progress, but it already forced me to clean up some config. I guess it’s like a bad Ansible, for project set up?
I’m also experimenting with a team / project / task-scoped blackboard (https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/an-accide...) tool for agents, to be used by multiple users’ agents (eg different devs working on different sides of the same fix or feature), and a self-hosted Q&A forum for agents intended to serve as an authoritative self-grooming source of truth on technical, domain, and business matters for a team or org’s agents.

And there I was, honestly thinking Terry Pratchett had come up with it all on his own.
Thanks!

There was a line in Discworld about some people in Ankh Morpork taking to breeding rats to collect the rat catching fee.

As a budding wannabe fiction author, I certainly hope you are wrong.

Maybe I'm just 2026's Dropbox guy, but... yes, and?

Maybe, I wouldn’t know. I just find it fascinating that other people have such a radically different way of experiencing thought. No idea what it’s like.

Some humans apparently only or almost only do non-verbal thinking. It’s called anendophasia.
I also "run" Lightless Labs (Descartes, Third Thoughts, Refinery). Writing https://weekly.elfitz.com.
