Today's PHP Security Release, and How We're Strengthening PHP Security If you're running anything on PHP it's vital you upgrade - today's updates (across the entire PHP 8.x line) address two remote code...
Panache — RTS Belle Époque pour mobile Well this is delightful: I released Battle Drones yesterday under an Apache 2.0 License and there's already a French language fork which reskins the game to take place in steampunk...
A couple of months ago, I wrote about the growing post-training stack that lets teams turn general-purpose models into something better suited to their own work. I recently spoke with Joel Hron, CTO of Thomson Reuters,...
eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise This is very, very bad news: The private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate CA certificates have been compromised. They chain to roots trusted by the Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple and...
My latest vibe coded game experiment is a Command & Conquer style RTS (Real Time Strategy) game called Battle Drones (play it here). Unlike my previous experiments, this one is actually fun to play. I'm somewhat...
Subscribe • Previous Issues The Model Factory Matters More Than the Model A couple of months ago, I wrote about the growing post-training stack that lets teams turn general-purpose models into something better suited to...
Decision models have exploded onto the scene recently, starting with TypeSafe’s Jev, followed by Perplexity’s Decider, Liquid’s d1, Cloudflare’s Clef, and OpenAI’s Decisions API1. These models promise fast, inexpensive...
My obituary for programming Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code: Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you...
An AI agent can spend most of a model call reading a history it has already processed. The KV cache preserves the keys and values that a causal Transformer computed for earlier tokens, at each attention layer. Later...
Release: llm-tools-datasette 0.1.1 When I switched LLM over to httpx2 in LLM 0.33 I forget that this would break any plugins which used httpx without directly depending on it. llm-tools-datasette was one of those...
Release: llm-echo 0.5 I'm working towards a new LLM release, and testing PRs caused me to revisit the llm-echo debug plugin. This plugin provides a "model" which doesn't involve an LLM at all - it just repeats back the...
Inline rendering with document.currentScript Lean Rada describes a neat trick that takes advantage of the document.currentScript property. You can use that to drop in a tiny inline <script> element that replaces...
Release: web-edit 0.1a2 I added a "copy to clipboard" option for both text and image data. I needed this because I was running pelican prompts on a laptop from my phone (here's DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017) and I wanted an...
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Yacine of Deep Learning with Yacine. He posed a lot of very thoughtful questions and I had a great time. Please check it out! The lightly edited transcript follows,...
We think "did a human read the code?" is an imprecise proxy for "what could go wrong with this change, and which check—automated or human—is the right one to catch it?" Asking that question also changed when review...
A hybrid LLM processes a sequence with more than one kind of memory. Some layers update a compact running state as tokens arrive. Other layers retain representations of individual positions and consult them through...
Tool: Chirp Pong Another game experiment - I wanted to see if it was feasible to have a two player game on two separate phones running in static HTML where the networking code uses chirps sent via the microphone. It...
Hi, fellow future and current Data Leaders; Ben here 👋Today I wanted to review some of the questions I continue to ask myself and data leaders as we take on new projects.Before we jump into today’s...
Anthropic tells investors quarterly revenue up nearly 50% to $16.8bn ahead of IPO The phrase "told investors" appears four times in this FT article, which reports on Anthropic's day of hosting investors on Wednesday....
