Expanding ChatGPT Code Interpreter with Python packages, Deno and Lua
— The ChatGPT Code Interpreter alpha remains incredibly interesting. I wrote about how I was using it [for Python and SQLite benchmarking](https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/12/code-interpreter/) a few weeks ago. Today I found a neat pattern for expanding its capabilities with custom binaries.

GPT-4 for API design research
— I came up with a really useful prompt for GPT-4 today. I was [considering options](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/2054#issuecomment-1499491258) for refactoring how Datasette's core view functions work, and was contemplating alternative ways to dispatch to different functions based on a combination of the URL path and the HTTP verb.
