sqlite-utils 4.2

Release: sqlite-utils 4.2 Lots of improvements in this one relating to the table.transform() feature, which adds support for complex alter table operations by creating a fresh table, copying across the data and then dropping and replacing the old one. transform() now preserves a much larger array of edge-case schema definitions, including check constraints, unique constraints and even comments describing the columns. There are also new introspection properties for check constraints, and a whole…

llm-gemini 0.33

Release: llm-gemini 0.33 It's been a while since the last llm-gemini release. This version of the plugin adds support for today's Gemini 3.7 Flash release, plus gemini-3.6-flash, gemini-3.5-flash-lite and two embedding models gemini-embedding-2 and gemini-embedding-001. The plugin is also upgraded for compatibility with LLM 0.32, which means you can now see reasoning traces and you can also enable server-side tools using this pattern: llm -m gemini-3.7-flash -T CodeExecution \ 'use python to…

White House Authorizes Private Companies to Conduct Offensive Cyber Operations

The White House is creating a program that will allow vetted U.S. companies to conduct offensive cyber operations against foreign cybercrime groups under federal direction. The presidential memorandum creates a formal path for private companies to perform work usually associated with government cyber operators. Participating firms could covertly access criminal systems, collect intelligence, disrupt networks, manipulate infrastructure, or destroy data after receiving approval from the…

PHP Ambassadors: Six Weeks In

When we launched the PHP Ambassador Program on June 19, 2026, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. We knew the need for something like this was definitely there, and it seemed like something the community would be interested in being a part of. But as they say, “you never know how a thing is going to go, until it goes.” I mentioned in my strategy document that I was hoping to enlist 10 people to attend a regular cadence of meetings. (Honestly, 10 people seemed like a reasonable number.) Not…

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter)

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter) The latest DeepSeek Pro model is now available, via API only. I had to link to OpenRouter because DeepSeek don't have any obvious announcement page for their new model. I haven't been able to confirm if they plan to release the open weights, but given the weights are available for both April's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro and July's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 it seems likely. Interestingly I got very different looking pelicans for the three different…

alchemy-utils 0.1a0

Release: alchemy-utils 0.1a0 I've long pondered what a database agnostic version of my sqlite-utils Python library and CLI utility might look like. This morning (literally a shower project) I tasked Codex and GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra with building a prototype: Do a research spike to see what it would take to build a library with the same core API as SQLite-utils - in particular the insert and upsert and insert_all and upsert_all and create and update methods, and the table introspection stuff - but…

Quoting Florian Herrengt

But then users start to report a weird bug. It's the 4th time your team has been trying to fix it. I mean... asking AI to fix it. Unfortunately, it seems like not even Fable can figure it out. You go talk to the person who worked on this feature. "So where does the data come from?" "Hmm... actually I don't know. Let me ask Claude." You sit next to each other watching an endless wall of text appear on the screen. Neither of you has any idea whether any of it is true but Claude seems very…

There are no lossless transformations of natural-language text

There are no lossless transformations of natural-language text Sophie Alpert shares her "internal policy on acceptable use of AI writing by engineers". It's a short read (supporting its own recommendations) and really good. If you chose to have LLMs help massage your writing the following rule seems crucial to me: You must stand behind every idea and every sentence in your docs. It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you…

737 Chrome VPN Extensions Linked to Brand Impersonation and Browser Traffic Redirection

Socket's Threat Research Team identified a campaign of 737 free VPN and proxy extensions published across at least 40 Chrome Web Store developer accounts, 274 of which impersonate 66 established VPN and privacy brands, that route the user's entire browser session through SOCKS5 proxies operated by a single provider. Socket analyzed the code of 525 of them, 522 from bulk retrieval and 3 more found during store enumeration; the remaining 212 had been removed from the store before collection and…

Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs

Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs A vanity domain name (stolen-thoughts.com) for a neat paper: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google return encrypted chain-of-thought blocks to clients that can be replayed across sessions, users, and models. We take a trace produced by a frontier model, replay it into a weaker sibling, jailbreak the weaker model, and recover the stronger model’s hidden reasoning in plaintext You can see an example of these encrypted blocks by running: curl…
