Five months in, I think I've decided that I don't want to vibecode — I want professionally managed software companies to use AI coding assistance to make more/better/cheaper software products that they sell to me for money. — Matthew Yglesias Tags: agentic-engineering, vibe-coding, ai-assisted-programming, ai

Socket Has Acquired Secure Annex
Socket Has Acquired Secure Annex
Today I'm excited to share that Socket has acquired Secure Annex, the extension security company founded by John Tuckner. John is joining Socket, and we’re excited to have him here. John has spent the last year doing some of the sharpest work anywhere on extension security, building Secure Annex into a product that security teams at Reddit, Brave, Torq, and Movable Ink depend on. He did it as a solo founder, which makes what he shipped even more impressive. The research he's published on…

Lock a shared test database for parallel test processes
Lock a shared test database for parallel test processes
AI coding agents love to run tests in parallel processes. That's great until multiple processes try to use the same local test database at once. A small file lock can serialize access and stop those runs from stepping on each other. Read more

When Correct Systems Produce the Wrong Outcomes
When Correct Systems Produce the Wrong Outcomes
We tend to assume that if every part of a system behaves correctly, the system itself will behave correctly. That assumption is deeply embedded in how we design, test, and operate software. If a service returns valid responses, if dependencies are reachable, and if constraints are satisfied, then the system is considered healthy. Even in […]

What's new in pip 26.1 - lockfiles and dependency cooldowns!
What's new in pip 26.1 - lockfiles and dependency cooldowns!
What's new in pip 26.1 - lockfiles and dependency cooldowns! Richard Si describes an excellent set of upgrades to Python's default pip tool for installing dependencies. This version drops support for Python 3.9 - fair enough, since it's been EOL since October. macOS still ships with python3 as a default Python 3.9, so I tried out the new Python version against Python 3.14 like this: uv python install 3.14 mkdir /tmp/experiment cd /tmp/experiment python3.14 -m venv venv source…

Introducing talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
Introducing talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930 New project from Nick Levine, David Duvenaud, and Alec Radford (of GPT, GPT-2, Whisper fame). talkie-1930-13b-base (53.1 GB) is a "13B language model trained on 260B tokens of historical pre-1931 English text". talkie-1930-13b-it (26.6 GB) is a checkpoint "finetuned using a novel dataset of instruction-response pairs extracted from pre-1931 reference works", designed to power a chat interface. You can try that out here. Both models are…

microsoft/VibeVoice
microsoft/VibeVoice VibeVoice is Microsoft's Whisper-style audio model for speech-to-text, MIT licensed and with speaker diarization built into the model. Microsoft released it on January 21st, 2026 but I hadn't tried it until today. Here's a one-liner to run it on a Mac with uv, mlx-audio (by Prince Canuma) and the 5.71GB mlx-community/VibeVoice-ASR-4bit MLX conversion of the 17.3GB VibeVoice-ASR model, in this case against a downloaded copy of my recent podcast appearance with Lenny…

Tracking the history of the now-deceased OpenAI Microsoft AGI clause
Tracking the history of the now-deceased OpenAI Microsoft AGI clause
For many years, Microsoft and OpenAI's relationship has included a weird clause saying that, should AGI be achieved, Microsoft's commercial IP rights to OpenAI's technology would be null and void. That clause appeared to end today. I decided to try and track its expression over time on openai.com. OpenAI, July 22nd 2019 in Microsoft invests in and partners with OpenAI to support us building beneficial AGI (emphasis mine): OpenAI is producing a sequence of increasingly powerful AI technologies,…

Speech translation in Google Meet is now rolling out to mobile devices
Speech translation in Google Meet is now rolling out to mobile devices I just encountered this feature via a "try this out now" prompt in a Google Meet meeting. It kind-of worked! This is Google's implementation of the ultimate sci-fi translation app, where two people can talk to each other in two separate languages and Meet translates from one to the other and - with a short delay - repeats the text in your preferred language, with a rough imitation of the original speaker's voice. It can only…
