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

Yeah I'm unsure - it uses wgpu over wasm - so probably just unsupported on your device!

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 04/09/2026

Yeah it is pretty wild. Honestly I would have known a lot more about how it all worked in the past but I'm pretty out of the loop at this point. The team has been killing it though.

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

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

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

How the hell is this not useful— if only more software wasn’t filled with boring white fills and flat buttons in a single theme color. I want to fall asleep looking at almost every modern software.

It was the same at Facebook in my time there. Some lovely people.. but the collective, reward structure, and psychopathic leadership generates the worst possible outcomes every single time.

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

It probably comes down to that you get value out of. I get little out of shipping things externally 🤷‍♂️

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...

Title slide saying "One Developer, Two Dozen Agents, Zero Alignment Why we Need Collaborative AI Engineering"

Slide saying "Alignment and communication is the new bottleneck"

Slide saying "Human context is not in the codebase"

Business context & financial resources, Political dynamics, Product vision, User research insights, and Organisational history are not in the codebase.

Yes!! I was just complaining about this: bsky.app/profile/nate... I'm sure things are being sand bagged on recent models. opus-4-5 is 10x faster in some cases now over opus-4-6

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 08/04/2026

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

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 08/04/2026

> ✻ Churned for 5m 15s 4-6 ended up taking 10x the amount of time 😅 Results were basically the same

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 08/04/2026

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

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!

Title slide: One Developer, Two Dozen Agents, Zero Alignment: Why we Need Collaborative AI Engineering

The meme of two astronauts looking at earth. The one behind has a gun pointed at the other's head. First says "wait, alignment is the bottleneck?". Second says "always has been"

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

Unfortunately cache read/write killed it. Editing anything in history kills cash, driving up costs a lot. Anthropic nudged us away from the raw text approach due to that.

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 27/03/2026

One of the original concepts of the first agent in @zed.dev that we never got to was the agent rewriting the history like this as you went - trimming out side quests and making the back scroll more of a canonical document Sometimes I miss the whole conversation just being an editable text document.

Nate Butler @nate.rip · 27/03/2026

Not to suggest the problem as the fix but… we’ve been exploring fixes for these problems at @githubnext.com - Don built the repo assist workflow to help with these exact types of problems: dsyme.net/2026/02/25/r... It could also be tweaked to close those ai generated PR suggestions as well 🙂

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

We Rebuilt Zeta from the Training Data Up - Zed Blog

Zeta2 is our latest edit prediction model and it's 30% better than Zeta1.

I assume most of open source heads this way tbh. Which is a little sad, but understandable at this point. Lots of great contributions to @zed.dev came about through open prs.
