If an organization is no longer reading all of the code during review, then I truly do not understand the motivation for a monorepo. Have agents submit change requests across repositories. It’s more friction for humans, but not for LLMs.
the way i see it there’s two options: 1. partition (abandon the monorepo to some extent) 2. speculative execution (what they did here) sure, speculative execution turned out to be a terrible idea for Intel, but i’m sure it’ll work great for Anthropic

happy for all of our friends at oxide, and happy for the industry, frankly. we need more people to take crazy swings like starting a computer company.
Today we're announcing our $445M Series D and announcing that we've reached profitability. Huge thanks to Eclipse for leading the round, which included participation from existing investors USIT, Jane Street, Riot Ventures, Intel Capital, Friends and Family Capital, and Counterpart Ventures.

@bcantrill.bsky.social referring to an AI-generated image of a factory as “Dickensian Richard Scary” at #Monktoberfest is sending me. Rebecca Solnit was the quote de jour yesterday (3x). Will Richard Scarry be today’s?!?

Talking version control & comparing code control to OneDrive, @jdc.pub hits upon a nerve. Been trying to get people to use document mgmt & version control for decades The web broke good document mgmt. DM was built into Word & other tools in the 90s UNTIL tech provided a "better" way. #Monktoberfest

Anthropic may not have intended to write an excellent ad for GLM 5.3, but that's what they did. www.anthropic.com/research/glm... Unlike Mythos, I might actually have a chance at using GLM for defensive research. Anthropic didn't reply to any of my requests for Mythos access for use on OpenSSH.
I really like @jyn.dev’s post on this!
Leaving aside Anthropic's incentives for publishing this research, there is no doubt that open weights models will soon create the same security threats that closed source models have been demonstrating, except without guardrails. We are close, so plan accordingly. www.anthropic.com/research/glm...

Big thanks to Blue Mesa Review for giving me a Best of the Net nomination! If you haven’t read my story “Spitfire” yet, you can do so here: bmr.unm.edu/spitfire/
My favorite finding from blockcurve.bisks.net is that I’m on an “adults who believe in magic” list, which, like, kinda, but how did they know
I’ve been thinking about this too, and because I don’t want to write my own database, I’ve been exploring Git as a generic lazy CAS. Modern features get you really close, and for data that isn’t deeply nested the performance is well within an order of magnitude of other databases.
build seems to be an area ripe for total disruption in this space. imagine a Bazel-like where all components are distributed, mesh-based global caching, worktree oriented, agentic integration - that would've been an intimidating years long buildout. now it seems approachable for a small team

Went from max to pro in August, and I just canceled my pro subscription today. For what I need (in open-source mostly-experimental projects) commoditized models à la OpenRouter are just fine, and have some minor data retention / privacy benefits.
Anthropic's price:performance is just *terrible*. Wow.

This is an embarrassment to the entire network. I don't even use PDN, so I didn't comment, but definitely support the addition of features for compatibility I'm going to go out on a limb here, assume that 99.999% of the people screeching are on iPhones/Win11|Mac and don't even know what WINE is
Alright everyone, message received. I was not expecting this response, I honestly had no idea before I made the post Like I said, the code is experimental. A proof of concept showing that PDN-on-WINE is possible. It's not finished. I can literally just delete it. It won't be part of the next build.

this strikes me as completely nuts. it's like the computer person version of AI spouse types losing their shit when 4o was being shut down, except they were actually losing something, whereas Gruber is fully inventing the thing he is mad about

one time i needed a safe multi-producer, single-consumer work queue in C++. i found exactly ONE library that did it properly. it was used by 12 projects. in rust the right way is built into std::sync. thousands of crates and apps in rust do it the right way. that day i switched permanently to rust
love seeing people still claim, in 2026, that you can match Rust's safety with RAII in C++ if only it was that simple. we'd probably have a lot less broken software
