"They screwed us": Personality clashes sent Anthropic's models offline

"They screwed us": Personality clashes sent Anthropic's models offline

"They screwed us": Personality clashes sent Anthropic's models offline Lots of "source familiar with the administration's thinking" and "source close to Anthropic" in this Axios piece, which is the best collection of behind-the-scenes gossip I've seen about the US government export control Mythos/Fable story so far. Logan Graham (I lead the Frontier Red Team at Anthropic), Dave Orr (Head of Safeguards, previously a Director of Engineering at Google DeepMind), and blog favorite…

Socket for Linear Is Now Available

Socket for Linear Is Now Available

When Socket flags a malicious package or a vulnerable dependency, some fixes are quick: bump a version, drop a package, patch and move on. Plenty of others need to be tracked, assigned to the right person, and prioritized against everything else a team is working on. That kind of work lives in an issue tracker. Linear has earned a loyal following among engineering teams, prized for its speed and the clarity of its workflow. So today we're excited to announce Socket for Linear, which plugs…

Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t

Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t

Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kappor take on the question of AI job losses through the lens of a profession that is uniquely suited to AI disruption - software engineering. In this essay, we argue that there is enough evidence to reject the narrative that once AI capabilities reach a certain threshold, it will cause mass layoffs. Given that this is true even in a sector with very few regulatory barriers, most other professions are likely to be…

Publishing WASM wheels to PyPI for use with Pyodide

Publishing WASM wheels to PyPI for use with Pyodide

The Pyodide 314.0 release announcement (via Hacker News) includes news I've been looking forward to for a long time: You can now publish Python packages built for Pyodide (or any Python runtime compatible with the PyEmscripten platform defined in PEP 783) directly to PyPI and install them at runtime. Previously, the Pyodide maintainers had to maintain, build, and host over 300 packages ourselves. This created a significant burden on our maintainers and became a major bottleneck for the…

Mapping SQLite result columns back to their source `table.column`

Mapping SQLite result columns back to their source `table.column`

Research: Mapping SQLite result columns back to their source `table.column` It would be neat if arbitrary SQL queries in Datasette could be rendered with additional information based on which columns from which tables were included in the results. To build that, we would need to be able to look at a SQL query like select users.name, orders.total from users join orders on orders.user_id = users.id and programmatically identify the table.column for each result - navigating not just joins but also…

US Government Forces Anthropic to Pull Claude Fable Days After Launch

US Government Forces Anthropic to Pull Claude Fable Days After Launch

For three days, Claude Fable 5 had users around the world one-shotting work they expected to take days or weeks: major code reviews, migrations, long-running builds, and projects some described as career-changing. Then access disappeared. If you were waiting for the weekend to try Claude Fable 5, you’re out of luck. Anthropic suspended access to Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 on Friday night after receiving a US government export control directive blocking access by foreign nationals,…
