Using Parseable with Datasette for OpenTelemetry traces

TIL: Using Parseable with Datasette for OpenTelemetry traces I saw Parseable in a Show HN today - it's a new observability platform with both an open source (AGPL) Rust implementation (a single ~180MB binary), an "Enterprise" version with extra features and a cloud hosted option. Since Datasette 1.0a41 added OpenTelemetry support (thanks, Alex Garcia), I decided to fire up Codex and have it figure out how to run Parseable and feed it traces from Datasette. Here's my (human-written) TIL showing…

Introducing Socket Scanning for VS Code Marketplace Extensions

If 2026 has shown us anything, it’s that the software supply chain doesn’t stop at the dependencies in your apps. It includes the tools your developers use to write, build, and ship code. VS Code extensions run inside an environment full of source code, credentials, and access to company infrastructure. A malicious extension can put all of that within an attacker’s reach. Today, we’re launching experimental support for scanning VS Code Marketplace extensions. This extends our proactive security…

My comment on Mistral Large 4 — Hacker News. wren6991: The benchmark is saturated. Frontier models are tested with an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars.

Scrimshaw Jukebox

Tool: Scrimshaw Jukebox I wanted to see if Claude Opus 5.5 could compose music, so I tried this: I want you to write some computer game music for me. First design simple text based format for the music and build an artifact that can play it out loud - include some example tracks in that artifact I am looking for music of the quality of the original secret of Monkey Island It leaned a lot harder into the Monkey Island theme than I had intended, but the results are surprisingly good. I wonder if…

★ Exceptions that explain themselves

There There, the helpdesk we're building at Spatie, is a project of learned habits. Twenty-some years of writing Laravel apps has taught us which patterns pay off and which ones quietly rot. One that keeps earning its keep is a custom exception class for every domain error. This is a small pattern, but it's one of those things that makes a codebase nicer to live in. There There is in private beta right now, and you can apply for early access at there-there.app. Exceptions that explain…

Quoting Felix Rieseberg

The "old" version of Cowork runs model inference in the cloud, executing tool calls in an Anthropic-provided VM we shipped to your computer. We added the VM for capability, safety, and security reasons - mapping in just the data you explicitly added to your session. People loved what they were able to do with Claude but didn't love the disk, battery, and performance cost of running the VM locally. Also, people didn't love that closing your laptop means the work stops. The "new" version of…

★ Streaming AI replies from Laravel to React

A couple of posts back I walked through the agent and tools we built on top of the Laravel AI SDK for There There, the helpdesk we're putting together at Spatie. I ended that post on a small cliffhanger. We hand the agent off to a streaming service that turns the SDK's response stream into events the frontend can consume. That's this post. A quick reminder on our angle. After two decades of running our own customer support, we wanted a helpdesk where AI makes support agents faster, not one that…
