Meditation on inevitable layoff should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, corporate restructuring, and swords. Being carried away by surging waves.
Being thrown into the midst of a great fire. Being struck by an unexpected performance improvement plan, being shaken to death by a great earthquake.
Falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease, or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as unemployed. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai.

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

“COBOL is still deeply load-bearing in banking, especially at the core: account ledgers, overnight batch processing, and card/ATM authorization.
