Directly Responsible Individuals (DRI)

Directly Responsible Individuals (DRI) I went looking for a definition of "Directly Responsible Individuals" and the best I found was in the GitLab handbook. Apparently the term originated at Apple, where it's used to describe the person who is "ultimately accountable for the success or failure of a specific project, initiative, or activity". I've been thinking about this term recently in the context of LLM-powered agents and how they fit into human organizations. I don't think an agent should…

shot-scraper 1.11

Release: shot-scraper 1.11 Some minor improvements, mainly around command option consistency and making the server: mechanism used by both shot-scraper video and shot-scraper multi work if the server takes longer than a second to start serving traffic. server: processes used by shot-scraper multi and shot-scraper video now wait up to 30 seconds for the target URL to accept connections, polling for port availability and replacing the previous fixed one-second delay. #197 The shot-scraper, pdf,…

Fable gets another bump

One of the consequences of GPT-5.6 Sol being clearly a Fable/Mythos class model is that Anthropic have, once again, bumped the date that Fable stops being available in their Claude Max plans: We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19. As before, you can use up to half of your weekly usage limit on Fable 5. After that, you can continue using Fable 5 with usage credits, or switch to another model to…

sqlite-utils 4.1.1

Release: sqlite-utils 4.1.1 Mainly a fix for an edge case that regular Claude chat spotted while experimenting with the 4.1 release to answer a question about ON DELETE. table.transform() now raises a TransactionError if called while a transaction is open with PRAGMA foreign_keys enabled and the table is referenced by foreign keys with destructive ON DELETE actions - CASCADE, SET NULL or SET DEFAULT. The pragma cannot be changed inside a transaction, so previously dropping the old table as part…

sqlite-utils 4.1

Release: sqlite-utils 4.1 The first dot-release since 4.0 a few days ago, introducing a number of minor new features. sqlite-utils insert and sqlite-utils upsert now accept a --code option for providing a block of Python code (or a path to a .py file) that defines a rows() function or rows iterable of rows to insert, as an alternative to importing from a file. (#684) sqlite-utils already had features that allow you to pass blocks of Python code as CLI arguments, for example this one for the…

jscrambler npm Package Compromised in Supply Chain Attack

A compromised release of the popular jscrambler npm package introduced hidden native binaries that execute automatically during npm install, exposing users to a supply chain attack before any application code runs. The malicious 8.14.0 release, published on July 11, adds an undocumented preinstall hook that invokes dist/setup.js. It also introduces new files, including dist/setup.js and dist/intro.js, along with platform-specific binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows embedded in an obfuscated…

Quoting Nilay Patel

The reality is to make augmented reality glasses, you need to put a camera next to your eyes that is continuously recording everything you see and processing that to put information over it. There is not another way around it. And there's certainly not a chip that can fit in the stem of a glasses that is both powerful enough and power miserly enough to do that in real time. You have to send that data to a cloud. You gotta do it. [...] Or you can build something the size of a Vision Pro with a…

A tour of my dotfiles

Over the years, I've built up a collection of aliases, shell functions, and CLI tools that make my terminal feel like home. All of it lives in a single repository: my dotfiles. It's a backup of every terminal tool and configuration I rely on, and it means I can set up a brand new Mac from scratch in about five minutes. Colleagues at Spatie use it as a starting point for their own setups too. Let me walk you through what's in there. I'll cover the tools and tricks first, with installation and…
