Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1]
Damn this Tim Paul quote finishes hard and such a good point. None of the stuff around llms just work. Good ui’s, front end, back end, infrastructure, product. All these things still need to exist, and in fact for ai to be good we need to still go hard on them otherwise everything will die in a heaping pile of ai slop [2]
I’m no developer, but I got the AI part working in about an hour.
What took longer was the other stuff: identifying the problem, designing and building the UI, setting up the templating, routes and data architecture.
It reminded me that, in order to capitalise on the potential of AI technologies, we need to really invest in the other stuff too, especially data infrastructure.
It would be ironic, and a huge shame, if AI hype sucked all the investment out of those things.

PopSQL - Collaborative SQL Editor - Bring Order to SQL Chaos
PopSQL is a unified SQL collaboration workspace that connects everyone in the data analysis process so you can obtain better insights by asking the right questions, together.
PopSQL · popsql.com [1]
PopSql looks like a very innovative product to bring collaboration to data exploration and visualization in a way you would expect from something like vscode liveshare. This looks far more appealing than a traditional BI data tool.

interesting pricing model from popsql (pronounces Popsicle). At a glance you pay for data retention, want the abiltiy to recall all the queries you ran within the last year, run at a higher frequency, you jump a pricing tier.

such a sick episode with dax.
SST’s free tier will be free as long as aws allows a free tier, their free tier literally costs them nothing.
They talked about keeping SST small, the limitations that brings, but also the number of problems that just go away when you only have 3 people building. Lots of process disappears, everyone can trust everyone, no one needs to wait for approval, everyone is their own PM and just builds cool shit. They don’t have to worry about big costs and making payroll because they are profitable so much higher than their costs.
If they can get through phase one of just being the go platform for a very specific audience of users, and gain marketshare, the ideas of offerings on top of this are endless.

I had no idea that you could just drop an msi installer right in steam. This worked for me, and was much easier to install pokemon tcg live in 05-2024 on ubuntu 22-04. I added the msi to steam from my downloads, hit start, failed right away like he said it would. changed compatability to proton experimental, and it opened right up.
- Download the official installer from pokemon tcg
- Add non steam game
- click show all file types
- navigate to downloaded msi
- click gear icon > compatability > proton experimental
- click play
- profit

Yes, S3 charges for unauthorized requests (4xx) as well[1]. That’s expected behavior.
They offer no DDOS protection against 4xx or 5xx requests against your bucket. Absolutely bonkers that you have ZERO control over this.

I learned about the sqlite_master table from this stack overflow answer. This helps make a lot of sense to how sqlite works. The master table contains all the sqlite objects and the sql to create them.
The .tables, and .schema “helper” functions don’t look into ATTACHed databases: they just query the SQLITE_MASTER table for the “main” database. Consequently, if you used
sqlite3 database.db "SELECT * from sqlite_master;"

Arch Linux - News: The xz package has been backdoored

Check your system to see if you are vulnerable to the xz backdoor.

The xz packages prior to version 5.6.1-2 (specifically 5.6.0-1 and 5.6.1-1) contain this backdoor.
Also it appears that arch is not vulnerable as it does not directly link openssh to liblzma, so the known attack vecotor is not possible. read to the end of the linked article for more.

Use an llm to automagically generate meaningful git commit messages
I
harper.blog [1]
This is pretty sick, I wanted this early on when I was making lockhart. I wanted to do the git [2] hook thing but could not figure it out and did not know that prepare-commit-msg was a hook that I could use.
Git Hooked
Then I remembered! Git hooks! Lol. Why would I have that in my brain - who knows!
I asked claude again, and they whipped up a simple script that would act as a hook that triggers with the prepare-commit-msg event.
This is awesome, cuz if you want to add a git message, you can skip the hook. But if you are lazy, you exclude the message and it will call the LLM.
Simon Willison’s llm cli comes in clutch here, it has such a good intereface to allow a prompt to be piped in, but the system prompt be set by -s.
gpt = "!f() { git diff $1 | llm -s \"$(cat ~/.config/prompts/commit-system-prompt.txt)\" }; f"
I love hacking on projects, but often I am super bad at making commits that make sense.
I completely relate to this statement, and this is why I am trying it.

Sylvain Kerkour · kerkour.com [1]
Very interesting article by Sylvain, suggested by Simon Willison.
Definitely some things that I want to come back and try later on.
Here is the TLDR of the whole post
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA cache_size = 1000000000;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = true;
PRAGMA temp_store = memory;
This is interesting, and something I need to consider. I definitely have an application with slow count queries. I am not sure how to make it better as its not a full count(*) so a count table doesn’t work, nor does counting by index.
I might need to have a table of cached results, and if a write matches the counter increase it, or update all counters on write.
COUNT queries are slow
SQLite doesn’t keep statistics about its indexes, unlike PostgreSQL, so COUNT queries are slow, even when using a WHERE clause on an indexed field: SQLite has to scan for all the matching records.
One solution...

Inspiring story transitioning into tech from nursing. I also came to tech through a set of circumstances that made it difficult for me to excel at my current job.

Great episode covering a seemingly simple topic. What I really benefitted from was hearing all the different use cases, from logging, debugging, to a/b testing, caching, and auth. I hadn’t even thought of it being applied to a router. I thought of it being applied for an entire application. This seems very useful for things like an admin router, all routes would need to have the admin role to get in.
![[None]]
I’ve been using these decorators to modify the behavior of specific routes. It will do things like 404 admin only routes in a way that looks just like fastapi [1]’s default, or only allow certain roles into the route, or redirect unauthenticated users to login.
After listening to yesterday’s syntaxfm I’m now really thinking about middleware and the benefits it might have. middleware would make it easy to apply things like admin to an entire admin router, so you wont forget it on any one admin route. It will look cleaner as the admin checker is only applied once per router, not once per route.

TIL Google Chrome has a --headless option you can use to take a screenshot from the CLI that's built into the default installation

Huh, so this is just built right into the chrome cli.

jinja’s url_for in fastapi [1] does not account for https by default, there is
probably a better way, but this is a way that allows me to configure when I use
http vs https.
@pass_context
def https_url_for(context: dict, name: str, **path_params: Any) -> str:
"""
always convert http to https
"""
request = context["request"]
http_url = request.url_for(name, **path_params)
return str(http_url).replace("http", "https", 1)
def get_templates(config: BaseSettings) -> Jinja2Templates:
templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="templates")
templates.env.globals["https_url_for"] = https_url_for
## only use the default url_for for local development, for dev, qa, and prod use https
if os.environ.get("ENV") in ["dev", "qa", "prod"]:
templates.env.globals["url_for"] = https_url_for
console.print("Using HTTPS")
else:
console.print("Using HTTP")
return templates
