Hey yall, Alex here, let me catch you up! I came back from vacation expecting to cover Fable 5 after a week of using it. The first two days after we all first got access to a Mythos level model were super exciting! But then the news hit, US Government issued an order banning Anthropic from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!). So, this wasn't the show I planned, but it turned into a great show about Open Source, as two models hit the top rankings and are both MIT licence, filling a Fable shaped hole in our hearts!GLM released 5.2 with folks really excited about it web building capabilities, and Kimi 2.7 Code released (and is available on CW Inference with crazy speeds!). We also saw the SpaceX IPO and Cursor $60B acquisition, Noam Shazeer joining Open and Midjourney, the image company, launching a new Ultrasound full body scanner to kill MRIs! Great show today with Dexter Horthy from HumanLayer, Chris Van Pelt and Adrian Swanberg from W&B announcing our new product HiveMind and Tanishq Abraham came back to help cover Midjourney's new Ultrasound scanner! Let's dive in!ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The US Government bans Fable 5! (X, Anthropic statement)Here's a story in 3 parts: * Anthropic announces Mythos 5 preview - saying that this model is to dangerous to release, and only gives corporations access to it via project GlassWing. * Anthropic works hard on limitations and safery and releases Fable 5 (same weights as Mythos 5) built with guardrails so strong it refuses to do any cybersecurity tasks and switches back to Opus frequently* US Government receives a tip (reportedly from Amazon) that Fable 5 can be jailbroken to do cybersecurity tasks, and issues an order to Anthropic, citing national security concerns, banning them from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!)This is the first time that we see the US Government directly intervene in the AI space and restrict access to frontier models. The most updated reporting on this I could find is that Anthropic and US Government officials are in the process of negotiating a safe release framework. Given that preventing all jailbreaks is impossible, I hope they will land on a solution that gives me Fable 5 back!This hit especially hard because last week we were all high on Fable. Not in the usual AI Twitter benchmark sense, in the actual “oh, this is a different level” sense. Me and my wife Fable maxxed throughout our flight to Vacation. Peter had saved outputs he kept going back to because other models suddenly felt like a step down. Dexter later said it was the closest he had felt in a while to the old “I need to keep prompting this thing overnight” feeling.Peter Gostev made a point that stuck with me. It's easy for us in the bubble to call this ridiculous, and on the technical merits it kind of is. But if you've spent weeks telling normal people “this thing is like a nuclear weapon, it'll take everyone's jobs,” and then someone asks “okay, can you make it safe?” and the answer is “no, I can't,” then you can see how an outsider lands on “well, maybe you shouldn't have it.” His takeaway, and I agree: we need to be way more careful with the imagery we use, because the nuclear-weapon framing came home to roost.The bigger questions are the scary ones. Wolfram framed it as a sovereign AI wake-up call, and he's right. For the first time we're seeing a real gap in intelligence available to people based on their nationality. Imagine building a company on a model that an outside government can switch off with one letter. Peter pointed out it's commercially bad for the US but completely disastrous for Europe, which has basically one frontier lab and a pile of startups that suddenly look very exposed. And there's the obvious irony Nisten enjoyed a little too much: the Europeans who spent years lecturing everyone about AI restrictions just got restrictions imposed on them.If anyone in the government is listening: we want Fable back, please.SpaceX IPOs and acquires Cursor for $60B (X)SpaceX went and did the largest IPO in the history of the world, around seventy-five billion dollars, which on a roughly two-trillion-dollar valuation made Elon the first trillionaire. (Did anything materially change for him? No. He can still fly his private plane. There's nothing left to buy.) Three days later, SpaceX exercised its option and bought Cursor (Anysphere) for sixty billion dollars in an all-stock deal, paid in shares minted at the IPO and now trading around $211. The four Cursor co-founders are all billionaires now. Largest software acquisition ever, and for SpaceX it's barely a blip on the radar.Why are we covering a stock-market story? Because it's not really a coding-tools story, it's an AI story. Cursor gave away its IDE to a lot of people while collecting their data, then quietly became a training company with Composer. SpaceX/xAI was always strong on compute and weak on code, and the missing ingredient was exactly that kind of data. Now Composer 2.5 is already showing up rebranded inside the xAI stack, and if you pay for X Premium you can use it. Composer 3, trained on the Memphis supercluster, is reportedly coming very soon and is going to hit hard.Nisten's take was the spicy one. For the data alone it's worth it, because xAI now has insight into how essentially every enterprise that touched Cursor operates. And he had zero sympathy for the companies that assumed “no data retention for training” meant the data was actually gone. We see in legal cases all the time that deleted data is still there. His view: it should have gone open source.Cursor has over a million paying customers, $2.6 billion in revenue, projected to hit $6 to $10 billion by end of 2026. But here's the thing that matters for us, the AI coding angle. Cursor was one of Anthropic's biggest revenue pipelines because Composer runs on Claude under the hood. That pipeline is now owned by xAI. They're already jointly training Grok 4.3, a 1.5 trillion parameter model, with Cursor's proprietary coding data injected directly into pre-training, not fine-tuning. Pre-training. That's a fundamentally different thing. Composer 2.5 was already Pareto dominant on coding benchmarks before the deal closed. Now pair that with Colossus, the biggest GPU cluster in the world.Will this be enough to put XAI (now SpaceXAI) at the frontline of the AI race? Will Grok 5 be Fable level code? We'll find out. Either way, this is the most consequential AI acquisition we've seen. Period.Open Source AI GLM-5.2 takes the open source crown (X, Blog, HF, Docs)Z.ai dropped GLM-5.2 and it's now the strongest open source model for coding and long-horizon work. The headline number: 74.4% on FrontierSWE, which measures whether an agent can finish full engineering projects over hours. That trails Opus 4.8 by about one point and beats GPT-5.5. On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it jumps to 81% from GLM-5.1's 63.5%, which is a big leap. It's a 753B parameter MoE, MIT licensed, no regional restrictions, weights on HuggingFace. The 1M context window is real and usable, backed by a clever IndexShare technique that cuts per-token FLOPs by about 2.9x at full context. People are reporting roughly 8x cost savings versus Opus 4.8 for comparable quality on real coding tasks.The most interesting thing on the show was that this was a confusing release, in a good way. Peter put it well: normally a catching-up lab ships cherry-picked benchmarks and then independent testing deflates them. Here it's the opposite, almost every benchmark holds up, even crossing above Fable at certain points, and yet when he actually used it over a couple of days he wasn't blown away. His verdict, and I think it's the calibration we needed: this is clearly an amazing model, and the fact that it's open and you can run it is incredible, but it is nowhere near Fable, and it would frankly be implausible if a 700-odd-billion-parameter model matched a model that's rumored to be in the trillions. Though, I think the comparison to Fable is really really unfair, and the comments online seem to suggest that 5.2 from GLM is a banger model. Just looking at this Harvey benchmark on legal tasks from Vals, a benchmark that there's 0 chance Z.ai folks have seen! GLM 5.2 scores #3 on this benchmark! Just after Fable and Opus, and per TeorTaxes on X, previous GLM 5.1 scored an absolute 0% on this one! Where it genuinely shines is design. On Design Arena, which is a head-to-head ELO vote, people have been picking GLM-5.2's website designs over Fable's by a real margin (around 1360 to 1350). LDJ's framing is the one I buy: specialization is becoming valuable again, and GLM is clearly leaning into front-end design and taste. Wolfram added the necessary asterisk, every benchmark only tells you the model did well on that specific test, so “as good as Fable” should always carry the “on this benchmark, with these tasks” disclaimer. Fair. I'd just say this: I don't want to compare everything to Fable, because we can't even use Fable anymore. Compared to the models we can actually touch, GLM-5.2 is a fantastic deal.Kimi K2.7 Code from Moonshot (X, HF, Announcement)The other big drop. Kimi is the darling of open source while we wait on DeepSeek, and Moonshot shipped K2.7 Code, a 1 trillion parameter MoE built specifically for coding, available through Kimi Code and the API, with a modified MIT license. The standout for me isn't a single benchmark, it's efficiency: roughly 30% fewer reasoning tokens than K2.6, which matters enormously when you're running long agentic loops that burn tokens like crazy. Benchmark jumps over K2.6 are real (+21.8% on their Code Bench v2, +11% on Program Bench), though Peter and Wolfram both noticed something odd, on a few benchmarks including their Agentic Arena, the older K2.6 actually edged out K2.7. The likely explanation is that K2.7 is narrowly trained for code with reduced reasoning, so it may trade away some general capability. Moonshot themselves recommend K2.6 for general non-coding tasks. Also worth knowing: it's not multimodal, no vision, which is a real gap for coding these days. And thinking-off isn't supported, it's reasoning-on by default.The model is available on our CW Inference, with the fastest token streaming in the industry, over 280 tok/s (Announcement, try it), with very decent pricing $0.94 - $0.19 - $4.00 (input - cached - output) per million tokens.

Franco Nero ospite del Trio per parlare del film "Django" che torna in sala
Tarantino spent seven years writing this movie… and you can feel every single one of them on screen. We break down why Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the greatest hangout movie ever showing exactly what the golden age of Hollywood felt like. We discuss why this is Tarantino's most meta film and how he hid his entire career inside it — from Leo playing a bad actor playing a villain that mirrors his own Django role, to Rick Dalton's comeback story being a direct reflection of how Tarantino has always resurrected faded Hollywood careers. We get into the full Charles Manson backstory and how Tarantino kept him lurking in the background the entire film to build tension. And we talk about how Tarantino turned one of history's darkest moments into the most satisfying ending he's ever put on screen.Chapters:00:00 Announcements0:29 The greatest hangout movie ever told8:51 Aging like fine wine14:45 Tarantino at his most meta29:08 Tarantino adding real details about Spahn Ranch37:26 Proving the Bruce Lee fanboys are WRONG43:07 Tarantino is an interesting cat50:10 Tarantino broke his no improv rule52:04 Tarantino writing himself in this movie57:34 The book & Cliff Booth movie1:03:47 Our final thoughts
La noche del 19 de agosto de 1960, el pianista canadiense Oscar Peterson, del que celebramos el año pasado el centenario de su nacimiento, se presentó en trío -Ray Brown al contrabajo y Ed Thigpen en la batería- en el Baker´s Keyboard Lounge, local mítico de la ciudad de Detroit. La grabación nunca se publicó. Hasta este 2026 en que se ha puesto en circulación 'The Oscar Peterson Trio at Baker´s Keyboard Lounge' -en abril en un disco con 9 temas, en mayo en tres LP´s con los 27 temas que se grabaron aquella noche de agosto-. Escuchamos 'Autumn leaves', de Kosma, Prevert y Mercer, 'Django' de John Lewis, 'Confirmation' de Charlie Parker, 'Whisper not' de Benny Golson, 'Ill wind' de Arlen y Koehler, 'I didn´t know what time it was' de Rodgers y Hart, 'Liza' de los Gershwin, 'Yesterdays' de Jerome Kern y Otto Harbach, 'Softly, as in a morning sunrise' de Hammerstein II y Romberg, 'S´posin' de Andy Razaf y Paul Denniker y 'Satin doll' de Duke Ellington.

Si torna dopo assenze strategiche e subito si deraglia: MIA vista in avanti veloce, The Borrow consigliata, Legends promossa e Cape Fear su Apple TV con Javier Bardem che pare una buona ragione per rifarsi l'abbonamento a qualcosa. Poi l'abisso Paramount, Il Paradiso delle signore 11, una serie poliziesca brutta copia di The West Wing, il film su Boccia con Ricky Memphis e il lancio di Fare film è un inferno, tra Waterworld, Mago di Oz, Apocalypse Now, I cancelli del cielo, Revenant e Roar. Infine estate di incassi: Scary Movie 6, Disclosure Day di Spielberg, Backrooms, Riccione, Il prigioniero, Piccoli miracoli, Django, Mononoke, Masters of the Universe e il 5x1000, che ormai finanzia Hollywood.
Hey folks, Alex here, and welcome to a BIG MODEL week! We finally got Mythos (well almost)! Let me catch you up! This week started with WWDC26 from Apple, and Max Weinbach, who was in the room at Apple Park and actually has access to some of the new features including an all new SIRI AI, joined us to break down what could be the most used AI in the world very soon. At first I was skeptical, but he convinced me that the new Siri is actually good! Then, we saw the ultimate model drop: Anthropic finally shipped Mythos (X, my system card thread, benchmarks). Same weights, two names: Mythos 5 is the unrestricted version that only Project Glasswing partners get, Fable 5 is what the rest of us get, wrapped in the heaviest guardrails I've ever seen ship on a frontier model. It's state of the art on nearly every benchmarkThe model that was “too dangerous to release” is now... well, released, but with the heaviest guardrails we've seen. More on this later. Peter Gostev from Arena.ai joined us to break down the new model. Last but definitely not least, Google released a real-time translation model, that our friend Thor Schaeff from DeepMind demoed live, while we all spoke in different languages and it translated us in REAL TIME. It was really cool, definitely check that out. There's quite a few more things, like Loop Engineering Alpha, Swyx came by to talk about FrontierCode, OpenAI confirmed our suspicions that the anti-datacenter social media posts could be a concerted effort by groupds links to the Chinese government and much more. Let's dive in! ThursdAI - Let me catch you up, every week!

In this episode, Python Developer Advocate and author Will Vincent joins the hosts to discuss the lasting appeal of Django, changes in how people learn web development, and the ways AI is reshaping software engineering. While modern AI tools can generate working code in seconds, Django's opinionated design and emphasis on maintainability help developers avoid many of the security and architectural problems that often emerge as projects grow. Drawing on his background as an educator, author, and Developer Advocate at JetBrains, Will shares his perspective on the challenges facing today's developers and computer science students. The conversation touches on "vibe coding," the misconception that a successful prototype automatically translates into a production-ready application, and the increasing burden AI-generated content is placing on open-source maintainers. Will also discusses the rise of specialized AI models, the importance of human trust in technical communities, and why foundational software engineering skills remain valuable despite rapid advances in AI tooling. Key Topics Covered Why Django Still Matters A look at why Django continues to be a strong choice for building production applications, even if it doesn't receive the same level of attention as newer frameworks. The Reality Behind "Vibe Coding" Exploring the gap between generating code with AI and understanding the systems, tradeoffs, and architecture required to build reliable software. Learning to Program as an Adult Will reflects on his path from book editing and startup leadership to becoming a self-taught programmer, educator, and author. AI and Programming Education A discussion about how AI changes the learning process, why fundamentals still matter, and how concepts like music theory can help explain the value of understanding code beneath the surface. The Growing Burden on Open Source How maintainers are dealing with an influx of low-quality AI-generated issues, pull requests, and content, and what that means for community-driven projects. Local and Specialized AI Models Why privacy concerns, lower inference costs, and better hardware may drive adoption of smaller, task-focused models rather than ever-larger general systems. Developer Concerns in the AI Era How engineers are responding to growing pressure from leadership teams eager to adopt AI, and what trends JetBrains is seeing across the developer ecosystem. Resources Mentioned LearnDjango, Will Vincent's platform for learning Django and web development. Hello World 5 Different Ways, a Django tutorial that introduces key concepts through practical examples. Django Chat, the podcast Will co-hosts covering the Django ecosystem and web development. Django News, a weekly newsletter highlighting updates from the Django community. JetBrains, the software development company behind tools such as PyCharm and IntelliJ IDEA.Special Guest: Will Vincent.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
You wake up, brew the coffee, open GitHub, and there it is. Another pull request on your open source project. Thirteen thousand lines added. No issue filed first. No discussion. Just "here, please review this for me." Over the past year, GitHub activity has spiked roughly twelve times in a few short months, and a huge chunk of that signal is landing on the same small group of maintainers who were already stretched thin. The curl bug bounty got buried under AI-generated noise. Jazzband, the home of Django classics like pip-tools and the Django debug toolbar, hit what its maintainer called an "apocalypse" and started sunsetting. Even CPython just shipped fresh guidelines on AI-assisted contributions this week. So what does all of this actually look like from the receiving end of the pull request? On this episode, Paolo Melchiorre joins us to tell that story from inside the maintainer's chair. Paolo is a director of the Django Software Foundation, an organizer of PyCon Italy, a Django Girls coach, and he has spent the past year carefully collecting examples of how AI is reshaping open source contributions. The good, the bad, and the extra fingers. We dig into his PyCon US talk on AI-assisted contributions and maintainer load, why AI is best understood as an amplifier rather than a new kind of contributor, the wildly different policies across 86 open source foundations, whether projects banning AI today are reacting to last year's models.

We always knew he would be back, and this time he is - back! Yes, he may have had his hands brutally mangled twenty years ago, but after a long convalescence, some quality time with the woman he loves and a period as a novitiate in a local monastery, it's time for Django to dig up his machine gun and get back to what he does best. The only official Django sequel, Django Strikes Again sees Franco Nero head down river in a film that is more Rambo meets Fitzcarraldo than it is a spaghetti western, and Rod and Adrian are here for it. This season is dedicated to that great quiet man of British cinema, Donald Pleasence, who spent a great deal of time in the 1980s in Italy. We would love to hear from you about your favourite Donald Pleasence films from this period, or if you have ever made friends with a Scottish Lepidopterist in a top hat.

Brian #1: Using Django Tasks in production Tim Schilling shares how the Djangonaut Space website has been using Django's new tasks framework and some of the info missing from the official Django docs. Tasks require a third party package, django-tasks-db to actually run the tasks. Article walks through all changes necessary to get an email process running to notify admins of new testimonials. Cool simple example. With the db backend, you can monitor progress of tasks in the admin, to see which tasks are scheduled, completed, or have errors. Some wishes for the community to implement new tutorial in the Django docs Django Debug toolbar panel for tasks test/mock backend Great title for wish list: Thinks I'd like to see, but I'm too lazy to implement myself. Michael #2: Co-authored with Claude? Via Nik T. We don't put “executed on macOS”, “edited with PyCharm”, etc. in our commits. Why Claude? Seems like a growth hack to me, that I don't really care to participate in. Some projects that have formalized their thoughts on this: The Generative AI Policy Landscape in Open Source Adjust to turn off in ~/.claude/settings.json see the docs. { "attribution": { "commit": "", "pr": "" } } Brian #3: PyPI packages are increasing rapidly Artem Golubin There's been an increase of published packages per week on PyPI A pretty big increase in the last handful of months. 30% increase since 2025, clearly due to AI Artem is building hexora, a malicious Python code detector. Cool package too, it can: Audit project dependencies to catch potential supply-chain attacks Detect malicious scripts found on platforms like Pastebin, GitHub, or open directories Analyze IoC files from past security incidents Audit new packages uploaded to PyPi. Artem is using hexora to analyze recently published pypi packages and many are obviously vibecoded and trigger false positives for abuses of eval, exec, and subprocess Side note: I don't think that's necessarily a false positive. Not malicious, but maybe a stupid-code-detector? Lots are LLM related, Lots have bots contributing code Publishing rate is crazy, dozens to hundreds of published versions in a day is a bug, not a feature Brian's proposal, PyPI should limit releases per day for any package to something a sane human would do, even if they make a mistake on a release, to maybe like 2-3, definitely under 10, in a day. And if the repo has obvious agent contributors listed, maybe lower to the limit to 1-2 a day? Honestly, “move fast and break things” doesn't apply to breaking the commons. Michael #4: httpx2 More on the httpx, httpxyz, etc changes: Pydantic people started their own fork, httpx2. Michiel says “while we think httpxyz was definitely needed, we welcome httpx2 and think it should be the ‘blessed' fork.” Kludex, who is among other things maintainer of Starlette, was considering a fork As it stands, httpx2 is lacking the performance improvements they added to httpxyz. But it will not be long before they will add those, too. Also they already made some smart decisions: they are switching from certifi to truststore they are switching to compression.zstd on Python 3.14+, enabling zstd compression by default they merged httpcore and vendored it in their repository Discussion on Hacker News Extras Brian: The Four Horsemen of the LLM Apocalypse - Anarcat Django/JetBrains 2026 developer survey is open Pyrefly 1.0 : “meaning we are confident that Pyrefly is ready for production use.” Michael: Just about ready to release Python Web Security: OWASP Top 10 with Agentic AI course.

In deze aflevering van Side Quest schuift Jos Hoebe aan. Hij vertelt over zijn nieuwste game Gallipoli, de ontwikkeling ervan, de geschiedenis achter zijn eerdere titels en natuurlijk het conflict waar de game zich op focust. Verder duiken we diep het FPS genre in, van Battlefield tot Call of Duty, en bespreken we waarom die games ons nog steeds blijven bezighouden. Daarnaast heeft Sjaak weer veel te veel uren gestoken in Crusader Kings III, raadt hij de nieuwe Regular Show aan en speelde hij zowaar een nieuwe game: Dead as Disco, inclusief muziek van Django Wagner. Tom is ondertussen verder gegaan met Saros, al begint die game hem langzaam een beetje kwijt te raken.Hoofdstukken:(00:00:00) intro met Jos van Blackmill Games(00:00:30) Hoe is het met Jos(00:02:10) Waarom een korte delay?(00:03:20) Hoe is het met Sjaak(00:04:15) Hoe is het met Tom(00:04:40) Wie is Jos en wat is Blackmill Games?

Should we all for the sequel hate ragebait? Probably not. Xbox continues to make positive changes, will it mean anything? Sony suffers a legal loss, and the speculation about GTA VI's price keeps going. Daredevil gets a new status quo, while Maul cowers away.

Brian #1: profiling-explorer Adam Johnson And intro post Python: introducing profiling-explorer “profiling-explorer is a tool for exploring profiling data from Python's built-in profilers, which are stored in pstats files. ” Features Dark mode Click the calls, internal ms, or cumulative ms column headers to sort by that column.

Click the callers or callees links on the right of a row (not pictured above) to see the callers or callees of that function. Michael #2: Reverting the incremental GC in Python 3.14 and 3.15 Python 3.14 shipped with a new incremental garbage collector, but production reports of severe memory pressure (Neil Schemenauer measured up to 5× peak RSS on pathological cyclic workloads) have pushed the core team and Steering Council to revert it in both 3.14 and 3.15 - returning to the 3.13-era generational GC. This is the second time the inc GC has been pulled back: it was also reverted right before 3.13.0 final, and it shipped in 3.14 without going through the PEP process. The tradeoff is real: Neil's benchmarks showed max GC pause times of 1.3ms with inc GC versus 26ms with the generational one - great for latency-sensitive apps, terrible for memory-constrained ones. Release manager Hugo van Kemenade will ship 3.14.5 early with the revert, and Gregory Smith floated the idea of a 3.14.5rc1 - the first patch-release RC since 3.9.2 back in 2021. Tim Peters spent the thread doing live forensics on Windows, running a toy deque program that should cap at 1GB and watching it balloon to 15.6GB on a 16GB machine - and discovered the gen0 collector effectively never fires under the new scheme. Tim's bigger meta-point: CPython has a chronic shortage of real-world GC benchmarks, pyperformance has "basically no interesting" cyclic workloads, and users almost never share real data - so core devs keep flying blind on changes like this. Django maintainer Adam Johnson published a blog post mid-thread documenting a real memory "leak" in Django's migration system caused by inc GC, with a manual gc.collect() workaround - the listener-facing receipt that this wasn't just theoretical. If the inc GC comes back for 3.16, it'll go through a proper PEP, and the discussion is already shifting toward keeping both collectors available via a startup flag - which Neil and Sergey Miryanov have both prototyped.

Guest Alan Rubin Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes On this episode of Sustain, Richard Littauer sits down with computational biologist Alan Rubin to explore how open source software supports scientific research, clinical genetics, and cancer-related data infrastructure. Their conversation centers on MaveDB, a project that began as a way to organize hard-to-find variant data from research papers and has since evolved into a valuable resource for both scientists and clinicians. Along the way, they discuss infrastructure funding, research software sustainability, and why open source communities and academic researchers have a lot to learn from each other. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:24] Alan explains his role leading a research group focused on genomics, cancer medicine, and improving patient care through genetics. [00:02:46] We learn more about what MaveDB does. [00:06:52] Alan details why a database was needed. [00:08:26] Alan shares how the project grew out of collaboration, PyCon AU inspiration, Django, and Python tooling that let a small team build a practical research database. [00:11:54] There's a discussion on the infrastructure funding problem and Alan explains a major theme is how hard it is to fund scientific infrastructure, since most grants favor new discoveries rather than maintaining shared tools and databases. [00:17:55] The project took a major turn when clinical geneticists began using the data to interpret patient variants, pushing the team to rethink the interface and user needs. [00:21:13] Alan describes the new clinical-facing interface, Mave for Medicine (MaveMD), designed to help doctors evaluate specific variants for diagnosis and treatment decisions. [00:22:02] Alan talks about managing the project through a distributed team, shared responsibilities, and a role that now centers more on direction, priorities, and community than day-to-day coding. [00:23:36] They discuss why research software rarely attracts hobbyist contributors, even when the mission is compelling, and how scientific projects often function more like small product teams. [00:27:44] Alan makes the case that scientists often learn more about improving their software craft at events like PyCon than at discipline-specific conferences. [00:30:38] Alan highlights how academic software depends heavily on mature, well-documented open source tools and encourages more connection between technical communities and scientific work. [00:34:15] Find out where you can learn more about MaveDB and Alan's work. Quotes [00:10:04] “We quite literally followed the Django Girls tutorial, but instead of a building a blog, we built a database for research scientists.” [00:12:35] “Infrastructure is something everybody wants to have it exist and nobody wants to pay for.” [00:26:08] “I have never been successful in engaging the broader open source community, despite having tried many times to contribute to this or any other scientific project.” [00:31:01] “I think people who work in OSS should be excited about the kind of stuff that their work is enabling, even if they don't really hear about it.” Spotlight [00:35:44] Richard's spotlight is the book, News of the Dead. [00:36:22] Alan's spotlight is The Global Alliance for Genomics & Health (GA4GH) and all the good work they're doing.

Django and Jeff are not here as never, bummed to write about last week's comic books. Bizarro doesn't have a new book, so we won't talk about it. There's also definitely nothing here about Mad Magazine, the least amount of DC books in a short while, and some intranational lack of movement. So don't hit stop, hated readers!

Simon Willison is a prolific independent software developer, a blogger, and one of the most visible and trusted voices on the impact AI is having on builders. He co-created Django, the web framework that powers Instagram, Pinterest, and tens of thousands of other websites. He coined the term “prompt injection,” popularized the terms “AI slop” and “agentic engineering,” and has built over 100 open source projects, including Datasette, a data analysis tool used by investigative journalists worldwide. What makes Simon unique is that he's made the leap from traditional software engineering to AI-native development more fully and visibly than almost anyone—and he's been documenting everything he learns in real time on his blog, SimonWillison.net.In our in-depth conversation, Simon shares:1. Why November 2025 was the inflection point when AI coding agents crossed from “mostly works” to “actually works”2. How Simon writes 95% of his code from his phone now and why he's mentally exhausted by 11 a.m.3. Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are most at risk right now4. The three agentic engineering patterns Simon uses daily (red/green TDD, templates, hoarding)5. The next leap: the “dark factory” pattern where nobody writes or reviews code and AI does its own QA6. Why prompt injection is an unsolved security problem and the “lethal trifecta” that will likely lead to an AI Challenger disaster7.
