Release: datasette 1.0a38 This release fixes a SQL injection security issue that affects Datasette instances that serve a mixture of public and private tables in the same database, with access configured using the Datasette permissions system. Site administrators who serve private tables in this way are advised to disable the execute-sql permission ` on that database to prevent users from accessing private tables using raw SQL queries. The bug that has been fixed would have allowed users with access to any public table to execute SQL injection attacks despite that restriction, giving them read-only access to data in private tables in the same database. This fix is also available in Datasette 0.65.3. Thankfully this particular configuration - private tables and public tables exposed for th…

Simon Willison on Technical Blogging I was interviewed by Cynthia Dunlop for her "Write that blog!" series back in January, but I just realized I never linked to the interview from my own blog! It includes my answers to the following questions: Why did you start blogging – and why do you continue? What has been the most surprising impact of blogging for you? What blog post are you most proud of and why? What post was the most difficult to write and how did you tackle it? Any lessons learned that you want to share with the community? Your advice for people just getting started with blogging? A few blogs that you particularly enjoy? I'll repeat my most important piece of advice here: My number one tip for blogging is to lower your standards! Aim to hit publish while you are still actively u…

Researchers say breakthrough offers hope for new medicines but also raises urgent biosecurity questions Scientists have made the first viruses designed by artificial intelligence in a milestone that raises hopes for new medicines but also concerns over how to ensure the technology remains safe. The viruses are specific kinds known as bacteriophages, which only infect bacteria and are used around the world to treat patients with persistent infections. In lab tests, a cocktail of the AI-designed viruses killed E coli bugs that were resistant to natural bacteriophages. Continue reading...

Deep Agents, LangChain, and LangGraph each offer distinct approaches to building agents. In this post, we cover the key distinctions between our open source frameworks and when you should reach for each one.

Learn how to configure rate limits on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore gateway to enforce per-user and per-target traffic controls. Define request, token, and connection limits scoped by JWT claims or IAM identity to protect downstream models, tools, and agents from traffic spikes.

Suno’s AI vocalists could learn a thing or two from this glitchy image. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Suno announced plans to implement a new watermarking technology and download policy to limit the spread of spammy AI tracks and increase transparency. In a lengthy blog post, CEO and co-founder Mikey Shulman laid out the company's principles and the next steps for the company as it seeks legitimacy. The company is rolling out new transparency tools, along with new watermarking and fingerprinting tech. Shulman says it aligns with "emerging industry standards" that will make it easier to identify Suno-generated content. He also says the company is aiming to partner with "distribution platforms on combatting fraud and misuse." Last year, th … Read the full story at The Ver…

In this tutorial, we explore adaptive experimentation using Meta’s Ax with the modern Client API. We work through a complete workflow where we tune a RandomForest model on a synthetic classification dataset while balancing predictive accuracy against model footprint. We begin by defining a mixed search space with integer, float, log-scaled, and categorical parameters, then […] The post Adaptive Experimentation with Meta’s Ax: A Practical Coding Guide appeared first on MarkTechPost.

OpenAI is making a big change for ChatGPT users on its free and Go tiers: starting next week, users on those tiers will be able to have unlimited text chats with the chatbot, according to OpenAI. Right now, you may run into rate limits if you do too many text chats on those tiers, but those limits, just for text, will be going away soon. Messages that include things like file uploads and images will continue to have limits. Next week, OpenAI is also adding a "Think" button for free and Go users that they can use to "access higher reasoning for harder questions." This week, for those users, the company is additionally upgrading ChatGPT's def … Read the full story at The Verge.

Banks should factor in the time spent by humans checking invented facts, writes Dr Gleb Tsipursky Your report (Lloyds Bank to cut £2bn in costs as part of AI-powered strategy, 30 July) raises a question that financial targets alone cannot answer: who absorbs the work when automation fails? Banks often count the minutes saved by the employee who uses an AI tool. They should also count the time colleagues spend checking invented facts, repairing customer messages, explaining rejected applications and escalating errors. A system can make one team look more productive while moving risk and effort elsewhere. Continue reading...

You wouldn't let Claude Code cat your AWS credentials or Kubernetes config on request, would you?
