A few months ago we started building There There, a helpdesk we're making at Spatie. The premise is simple. After two decades of running customer support for our open source work and our SaaS apps, we wanted the tool we always wished existed. One thing we care about in particular is using AI to help humans craft better responses, not to replace them. The agent stays in charge of the conversation. The model just helps them reply faster and a little sharper. There There is in private beta right…
The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness. Work costs nothing to an LLM. LLMs do not feel a need to optimize for their own (or anyone's) future time, and will happily dump more and more onto a layercake of garbage. Left unchecked, LLMs will make systems larger, not better — appealing to perverse vanity metrics, perhaps, but at the cost of everything that matters. As such, LLMs highlight how essential our human laziness is: our finite time forces us to develop crisp…
Thanks to a tip from Rahim Nathwani, here's a uv run recipe for transcribing an audio file on macOS using the 10.28 GB Gemma 4 E2B model with MLX and mlx-vlm: uv run --python 3.13 --with mlx_vlm --with torchvision --with gradio \ mlx_vlm.generate \ --model google/gemma-4-e2b-it \ --audio file.wav \ --prompt "Transcribe this audio" \ --max-tokens 500 \ --temperature 1.0 Your browser does not support the audio element. I tried it on this 14 second .wav file and it output the following: This front…
And vindication for Apple’s unfairly maligned 2025 reasoning paper

SQLite 3.53.0 SQLite 3.52.0 was withdrawn so this is a pretty big release with a whole lot of accumulated user-facing and internal improvements. Some that stood out to me: ALTER TABLE can now add and remove NOT NULL and CHECK constraints - I've previously used my own sqlite-utils transform() method for this. New json_array_insert() function and its jsonb equivalent. Significant improvements to CLI mode, including result formatting. The result formatting improvements come from a new library, the…
Tool: SQLite Query Result Formatter Demo See my notes on SQLite 3.53.0. This playground provides a UI for trying out the various rendering options for SQL result tables from the new Query Result Formatter library, compiled to WebAssembly. Tags: tools, sqlite
A lovely analogy about software craft. Same ingredients, same features, but the invisible process behind the decisions is what separates "this works" from "this feels right." Read more

The recent compromise of the widely used Axios library has now been linked to downstream impact on software distribution pipelines, after OpenAI disclosed that a malicious version of the package was executed inside its macOS app signing workflow. The incident adds a new dimension to the ongoing supply chain campaign that has already targeted high-impact Node.js maintainers through a social engineering campaign attributed to North Korean actors. Malicious Axios Version Executed in CI # According…
