DJI’s new robovac can climb obstacles, vacuum quietly, and claims much improved privacy

DJI has announced a second generation of its Romo robovac. The Romo 2 series is quieter, more powerful, and better at climbing over small steps and other obstacles. But more importantly for DJI, a new local-only data mode should go some way to reassuring anyone concerned by the first Romo's serious security flaws. There are […]

The Agile Roles Dying Aren't the Ones You Think — The Ones Who Wore the Title Like a Costume Are

The Scrum Master job market hasn't collapsed because companies outgrew agility. It's collapsed because too many Scrum Masters never actually practiced it. Somewhere in a UK bank's open-plan office in late 2023, a thousand people discovered their job title no longer existed. The bank — one of Britain's largest, unnamed publicly but confirmed in practitioner forums — eliminated its entire Scrum Master and Agile Coach function in a single restructuring sweep. Around 1,000 positions, gone. T...

I Built My First AWS Agent Workflow, and the Hardest Part Was Getting It to Stop Assuming Things

TL;DR I recently finished a project from Udacity's Future AWS Agent Engineer Nanodegree Program, which I was able to take through the AWS AI & ML Scholarship. I built a customer support agent using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AgentCore Gateway, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and an FAQ. The agent had to understand whether a customer was reporting a bug, asking a question that could be answered from the FAQ, or asking for something that needed human support. I finished it in about two days and...

35 x402 hosts served no signed offer. Here is how to check yours in one request.

I run an x402 store where the customers are AI agents. In August I pointed a free checker at every host on the public x402 discovery list. One of them tried to sign its offers. Its signatures did not parse. x402 is the HTTP 402 payment flow Coinbase and Cloudflare revived for agents: request a resource, get a 402 with the price and the address, pay, retry. It works. Thousands of settlements a day go through it. What it does not do, by default, is commit the seller to anything bef...

Commit Your Code tip

Danny Thompson just delivered the Commit your Code Keynote. His biggest AI advice was to make the AI read and reread your files before you prompt it. Tell it to ingest the files by reading them. Then say if when change X how will it affect the files. So it has to read the file again to think. Then you tell it to make any changes. S0 it better understands what you want. Commit Your Code is taking place in Dallas Sep 3&4. You can attend virtually for free or you can donate to them...
