Intellectual obesity is what happens when you consume too much and produce too little.

Some LLMs contain tokens they barely learned during training. These "glitch tokens" can trigger bizarre outputs.
I built GlitchFinder to detect them from model embeddings without loading the full model.
Code: github.com/crs7617/glitchfin…
Overnight agent runs are so useful. my orchestrator is the good ol' claude code.
The flow is:
multiple github issues -> claude code -> code -> adversarial reviewer -> QA agent -> PR -> CI
Works so well so far

i managed to close the loop with both
1) emulator
2) phone
the qa agent has access to both of these and it can test out anything it wants and then fix it without me requiring to be there. ngl the spotify blog on mobile rewrite inspired me a lot.

hot take: you don't need a software factory, and i don't love the term. it's just marketing
all you need is good software engineering and investing your tokens in the right places. the more deterministic the better (and token efficient)

bought an ant esports smart scale on zepto a few months ago. shit came with a bloated chinese companion app that tracked weight, bmi, bone mass, muscle, the works. pretty neat so i kept it. except it was pure adware, loaded like garbage, and i was locked in because ONLY that app talked to the scale.
had the bright idea to point REA + glm 5.3 at the apk. reverse engineered the whole 50MB mess. the thing had been stuffed with adware, and was shipping my weight data to a chinese server! genuinely what the actual fuck
pulled every formula and api out of it and rebuilt it as okok libre. exact same scale interaction, same math, zero adware, open source. opus 5.5 cooked the ui.
if you bought one of these off zepto / blinkit / amazon india and hate the companion app, pls uninstall okok international and get this instead.
genuinely crazy that this is even possible.

We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.
