Research: Using DSPy to evaluate and improve Datasette Agent's SQL system prompts One of this morning's AIE keynotes covered dspy , which reminded me I've been meaning to see if it could help me improve the system prompt used by Datasette Agent - so I fired off an asynchronous research task in Claude Code for web using Claude Fable 5: Pip install the latest Datasette alpha and datasette-agent and dspy - then figure out how to use dspy to evaluate and improve the main system prompts used by Datasette Agent for the feature where it can execute read only SQL queries to answer user questions about data. Fable chose to test using GPT 4.1 mini and nano, and identified several promising looking directions for improvements. I particularly like this one: The schema listing gives only table names; the "don't call describe_table if you already have the information" advice caused column-name guessing (page_count, o.order_id, first_name) and error-retry loops in baseline traces. Either include column names in the prompt's schema listing or soften that advice. Tags: ai , datasette , generative-ai , llms , evals , dspy , datasette-agent , claude-mythos-fable

Victims say hearing Keir Starmer’s acknowledgment of their suffering was emotional but want more mental support This summer’s World Cup fever vividly takes Ann Keen back to 1966 and the day England won the tournament – she was 17 years old and it was the day she told her father she was pregnant. “It was the worst thing that could ever have been said to him. I was told I’d put shame on the family and I must be sent away,” the former Labour MP said. “I was in an unmarried mother’s home where I had to scrub the steps from morning until night. It was all about punishment. Even in the delivery room I was told I couldn’t have anything for the pain, because I was a bad girl. And when NHS staff are telling you that, you start to believe it.” Continue reading...
I saw Geoffrey Litt speak at AIE yesterday, and one framing he used particularly resonated with me: Understand to participate Geoffrey was talking about the challenge of collaborating with coding agents as they construct increasingly large and sophisticated changes, and the need to avoid taking on cognitive debt as your understanding drifts from how the code actually works. His argument is that you need to understand the code to a depth that enables you to participate further with the model: You can learn what the agent is doing to make sure you can be an active participant in the creative process. [...] You need a rich set of concepts in your mind to think creatively and fluently about how to move something forward. If you're lacking that fluency, your ability to participate in the project is meaningfully limited. The AIE talks are all recorded - all 300+ of them! - and should be trickling out over the next three weeks. Geoffrey's is one that I recommend catching on YouTube. Geoffrey also published a thread version of his talk on Twitter. Tags: geoffrey-litt , coding-agents , cognitive-debt , generative-ai , ai , llms
NCA says offenders arrange to sexually assault and film victims via online networks with crimes often taking place in trusting relationships Criminal investigators in the UK say they have uncovered a “truly international network” of organised drug-facilitated sexual assault in which victims are sedated before being raped and sexually assaulted. The National Crime Agency [NCA] has said online networks, “many as yet unidentified by law enforcement”, were allowing offenders to arrange to rape and abuse victims or arrange for sexual assaults to be filmed.
