Today is my first day at @GitHubNext.com! GitHub has been one of my favorite places to hang since I signed up 18 years ago(!), a mere month after its founding. Excited to join this talented team to try and figure out what comes next for our craft ...

please can we standardize this already 🙏 1p isn't even in the brawl here, sometimes there are 3 or more of these.

Congrats y'all - excited to see where things go for here. Now... deltadb OS please? 😁

Zed@zed.dev

Delta is now in public beta. It’s a multiplayer environment for coding with agents and reviewing what they build, with every code change linked to the conversation that produced it. Anyone can download it today on macOS, Linux, and Windows: delta.dev/download

I've been having a lot of fun letting agents do things together using telephone today. Give it a spin and let me know what you think! nate.rip/telephone

god ui, great tool 🔥

David Aerne@meodai.color.pizza

After testing 100s of imgs comparing tiny and big changes to the algo: I am now confident to present to you: The new okpalette.color.pizza. Powerful as before, ~40% faster, better at detecting good presets and much better at finding rare colors! Test it with your pics and let me know what you think

chaotic good

Patton Oswalt@pattonoswalt.bsky.social

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

4 Sept

I'm back from pat leave, and been getting back into #gpui again! And thus, gpuikit 0.9 is out! nate.rip/gpuikit/

4 Sept

Should be keeping up the velocity a bit more now, as I'll be doing a lot more exploratory work this year. That means less typescript, more rust! crates.io/crates/gpuikit

Is the Safari team doing some sort of social experiment? "What happens if we make Safari completely unusable for everyone?" Design crimes.

Ahhh this is awesome. Good shit 🔥

Zed@zed.dev

Open any commit's diff from the command palette with `git: view commit`. Feed it `HEAD`, a SHA, a branch, or a tag. Thanks schpet!

Both of these are objectively correct. Anything not neutral, flat and soul-less.

This is the ideal user interface. You may not like it, but this is what peak UX looks like.

congrats to the @zed.dev team for reaching the 1.0 milestone :) it's been my daily driver for... a long time zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0

Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering. All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process. We have no good tools for...

Same task, same prompt... why does opus-4-6 take 3,4,5,6x longer to do things??

I guess it was unclear from the original screenshot. Other model is opus-4-5

Putting together the final touches on slides for my talk at AI Engineer conf this Thursday @aidotengineer.bsky.social Talking about how we need realtime, multiplayer, collaborative agentic dev tools. Not isolated, single player terminal instances. And showing one we've built at @githubnext.com!

right now everything in the world is telling you to go faster, ship more, add that feature, start another project so i'm actively working on feeling ok not doing any of that

tfw you just barely catch in the scroll claude getting irritated it can't solve a problem with some test seeds, so it just decides to encode into the test to skip them...

Zeta2 is here. 30% better acceptance rate than Zeta1. 200x more training data, LSP-powered context, faster predictions, open weights. Try it now in Zed. We didn't just improve the model. We rebuilt the entire data pipeline behind it: zed.dev/blog/zeta2

Been getting back to shipping some components for gpuikit - maybe a new release will come sometime this month...

I haven't had too much time to tinker recently, but I got nate.rip moved over to @standard.site this weekend!

github.com/ente-io/ente looks great - anyone tried it yet? (Especially with reasonably large library - 500gb or so?)

Nate Butler reposted

I think the most pragmatic thing people can do, if they're being mandated to use LLMs, is to unionise. If by some miracle the bubble doesn't burst, there will still likely be lots of layoffs so get protecting yourself and your colleagues. @ethanmarcotte.com has got the blueprint for you here.

tfw you haven been working on a new crate for a few weeks, uncommon name, available, don't want to be squatting before there is something to publish... publish... the remote server responded with an error (status 403 Forbidden): this crate exists but you don't seem to be an owner.

say what you want about language models. but I love being able to iterate on shit like this in minutes. It feels so good to just get to do the fun part.
