So you want to use OpenRouter?

So you want to use OpenRouter?

So you want to use OpenRouter? One of OpenRouter's selling points is that it "handles fallbacks automatically and picks the most cost-effective option for each request", so you can call a single API endpoint for a model and get routed to the best available backend provider. Mohamed Moustafa points out a whole set of ways that this can cause you problems. Different providers run different serving software with different optimizations and settings, which means that the same OpenRouter endpoint…

Quoting Boris Cherny

Quoting Boris Cherny

Production code written by Claude should have a higher bar than if it was written by a human. At Anthropic, we have many guardrails in place to make sure this is happening: lots of lint rules, lots of tests, Claude-driven end to end tests, Claude-powered fuzzers running daily, automated code reviews and security reviews, automated code refactoring, and so on. Without these, you can end up with a mess that is hard to maintain down the line. — Boris Cherny Tags: claude, ai, claude-code,…

Feeling sad about AI

Feeling sad about AI

My comment on Feeling sad about AI — Hacker News.I'm not sure how useful it is to say this, but I think a lot of people (myself included, a few years ago now) have been through this moment of existential crisis and come out the other side. The initial reaction, when some coding agent does a piece of work that would have taken you a week in an hour and does it well, is to be very disheartened by it. Once you come to terms with the idea that translating an exact specification into decent…

Soft-deprecating re.match()

Soft-deprecating re.match()

Soft-deprecating re.match() Python has a concept of soft deprecation, where APIs are marked as "should no longer be used to write new code" without any promise/threat to remove them in the future. Python 3.15 release manager Hugo van Kemenade describes how in the upcoming 3.15 release soft deprecation has come for the venerable but deeply confusing re.match() function. It's now available with the much clearer alternative re.prefixmatch() name - reflecting how it anchors at the beginning of the…

Malicious Twitch Browser Extension Exposes 30,000 Users’ OAuth Tokens to Russian Bot Service

Malicious Twitch Browser Extension Exposes 30,000 Users’ OAuth Tokens to Russian Bot Service

Socket’s Threat Research Team identified a cross-store browser extension, “Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,” that forwards each user’s live Twitch OAuth session token to proxy servers operated by a Russian commercial bot service. The extension ships on both the Chrome Web Store (extension ID pnhhdhhcadcjfckjhpmjneldiegbojfb, 30,000 users) and Firefox Add-ons (twitchenhancedviewer@example.com, 552 users). Both listings are live at time of writing. Current builds (v85.x) forward the token inline…

Don't sleep on wrapture

Don't sleep on wrapture

Graham Dumpleton's new monkey patching package wrapture is shaping up to be an indispensable tool for Python developers. I'm not sure why I've seen so little buzz about it! Graham has been posting new tutorials for it almost daily since the initial release on August 31st. Here's everything he's published so far: Introducing wrapture - a new monkey patching library that serves both testing and observability (think New Relic style tracing) at the same time. Unit testing with wrapture - how to use…

If You Always Enjoy It, You're Not Pushing It Hard Enough—Benn Stancil (Show Your Workflow #1)

If You Always Enjoy It, You're Not Pushing It Hard Enough—Benn Stancil (Show Your Workflow #1)

I had the pleasure to discuss and analyze the workflow of none other than Benn Stancil, legendary writer and storyteller in the data space and beyond, who started writing back in 2013 (with a seven-or-eight-year startup break in between). This is the first interview in the series «Show your Workflow», and I couldn’t be happier to start with Benn. As this series is all about how writers write, how to come up with stories, how to take notes (or not), and each one’s workflow, I asked Benn about…

Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases

Datasette 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 security releases Today we're releasing two new security patch versions of Datasette: 1.0a39 and 0.65.4 - one for the current alpha series and one for the stable 0.65.x family. These are security fixes which you should apply if you are running a Datasette instance on the public web - in particular if that instance mixes both public and private tables. Following issues reported by Sevban Dönmez, Alex Garcia and I ran an extensive audit of Datasette using Claude Fable…
