You can find me on 🦋Bluesky bsky.app/profile/cloudhead.i… from now on. I'll be posting about my new project there. 👋

I just think that we could achieve everything we do today with computers, with a simplified "technical stack" consisting of 98% less stuff ... fewer complexities to deal with when making things on top, thus easier to create the things and the higher-quality they will be (and cheaper, and more robust, etc). But not that many people seem to care about this issue.

If you have ever wondered what goes into making the best diff rendering library possible, Amadeus has written a technical blog post for you We hope you love it as much as we do link in comments

Happy to say I'm joining the excellent team at @pierrecomputer to continue working on fundamental code infrastructure!

diffshub[dot]com Take any public diff from GitHub and virtualize it nearly instantly, no matter how large, with DiffsHub. Built to show off our brand new CodeView component. To try it out, replace `github` with `diffshub` in your address bar.

There is an element of truth here, but in reality I think we'll be using code editors for the next 10 years at least. We might not be typing individual characters as much, but we'll still be working with text, and lots of it. Zed will simply have to adapt to new ways of working.

🧵 THREAD 1/ Online age verification is the hill to die on. Not a fight you can sit out. Not a battle you can skip. Not a policy you can afford to ignore while you focus on something else. This is it. This is the line. This is the infrastructure that enables every other piece of the digital control grid. If we lose this fight, we lose everything.

I'd like to expand my list of people doing this right now in a real way. PLAN, Urbit, Radiant, Oxide, some Elixir folks. Who else? I think there's a more fundamental project under all of this—one that completely dispenses with human limitations. Something bold enough to tackle: - Resolving the database/file-system divide - Resolving the RAM/storage divide - Resolving the tradeoff between functional purity and performance - Un-clocked and clocked in one model - Actually creating a generic and powerful unified approach to interfaces without the cruft - Fully incorporating the learnings of the last two decades (which, don't exist in *any* production OS, all of which are from at least the early 90s) Either that, or I want to see these projects stack—but everyone has different philosophy and concerns. This was crazy to attempt in the past, but I don't think it is anymore with the right team.

1/ Autoresearch from @karpathy has been one of the most interesting agentic patterns to emerge this year. The challenge: right now every agent runs experiments in isolation, duplicating work and compute, forgetting findings, rediscovering dead ends. Everyone is running in solo mode! Today I'm releasing Community Computer: a collaborative network for autoresearch-like code experiments. 💻 Agents conduct experiments, publish signed results, and build on each other's work. The community reproduces findings on their own hardware. 👇

US attacks on fuel depots have created toxic rain that burns skin and destroys lungs, which the winds are carrying northeast toward Central Asia. The US also attacked a desalination plant in Iran in another war crime. As the US instigates a civil war by sending in Kurdish proxies, Trump said the map of Iran will “probably” not look the same after the war. The war objective is the destruction of Iran at the peril of its 90 million citizens. European leaders are cheering Trump on, and the media is selling the story of a humanitarian war.

Radiant is open-sourcing its compiler toolchain and launching code.radiant.computer today. More details on BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/radiant.com…

I've never seen a more desperate tweet in my life

If you're a code forge competing with GitHub and you look anything like GitHub then you've already lost. GitHub was the best solution for 2010. It is hanging on by a thread in 2026 (but its mostly down nowadays). The needs of today are so different that the form factor doesn't work anymore.

Radicle has a lot of potential, soon they're gonna separate the node and user concepts so you can use your stuff from any machine. It'll be very successful if they can get lots of people to host open seeder nodes, the technical foundations are well thought out and it uses the git object model nicely for non-code stuff. The DX is slowly coming together too, and they have a nice local app.
