Coding at the Speed of Thought: The New Era of Symfony Docker

If we want to discuss Developer Experience (DX) in 2026, we have to talk about instantaneous feedback and coding agents. At SymfonyLive Paris 2026, I presented “Coding at the Speed of Thought: Symfony DX in 2026“, where I detailed the bleeding-edge features we have brought to the PHP and Symfony ecosystems. To make this vision... Coding at the Speed of Thought: The New Era of Symfony Docker first appeared on Kévin Dunglas.

When AI Breaks the Systems Meant to Hear Us

On February 10, 2026, Scott Shambaugh—a volunteer maintainer for Matplotlib, one of the world’s most popular open source software libraries—rejected a proposed code change. Why? Because an AI agent wrote it. Standard policy. What happened next wasn’t standard, though. The AI agent autonomously researched Shambaugh’s code contribution history and published a highly personalized hit piece […]

Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm Nouveau

Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm

A supply chain attack targeting the widely used HTTP client Axios has introduced a malicious dependency into specific npm releases, including axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.30.4. The latest version pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that Socket has confirmed as malicious. Our analysis shows the malicious package deploys a multi-stage payload, including a remote access trojan (RAT) capable of executing arbitrary commands, exfiltrating system data, and persisting on infected machines. Axios is…

This necessitated a new release of the base plugin. owners_can_edit and owners_can_delete configuration options, plus the files-edit and files-delete actions are now scoped to a new FileResource which is a child of FileSourceResource. #18 The file picker UI is now available as a <datasette-file-picker> Web Component. Thanks, Alex Garcia. #19 New from datasette_files…

Quoting Georgi Gerganov

Note that the main issues that people currently unknowingly face with local models mostly revolve around the harness and some intricacies around model chat templates and prompt construction. Sometimes there are even pure inference bugs. From typing the task in the client to the actual result, there is a long chain of components that atm are not only fragile - are also developed by different parties. So it's difficult to consolidate the entire stack and you have to keep in mind that what you are…

Mr. Chatterbox is a (weak) Victorian-era ethically trained model you can run on your own computer

Trip Venturella released Mr. Chatterbox, a language model trained entirely on out-of-copyright text from the British Library. Here's how he describes it in the model card: Mr. Chatterbox is a language model trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 and 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library. The model has absolutely no training inputs from after 1899 — the vocabulary and ideas are formed exclusively from…
