Google Wave is a pretty perfect conceptual interface for AI + multiplayer human collaboration.

Google products which doesn’t help Google sell ads directly or indirectly seems to eventually either be shut down or sold, no matter how good it is.
Google Reader (shut down), Google Domains (sold to Squarespace), Stadia (shut down), and now Google Fiber:

This is the worst news I have ever heard. Prepare for the price hikes and throttling :/

How can my sense of nostalgia be so strong for something that only happened 2.5 years ago?

pov: it's 2023, you just discovered AI, and you're building your first GPT wrapper project

The Doom novelizations from the 90s included a plotline where the space marine was forced to relive his experience fighting alien demons on Mars over and over in a simulation.

Let me explain what just happened, because I don’t think people realize how INSANE this is. > Cortical Labs put 200,000 real human brain cells onto a silicon chip and trained them to play Doom in just one week. > Each CL1 system costs $35,000. > A rack of 30 units consumes only 850–1,000 watts combined. > The human brain operates on 20 watts. > Large AI training clusters burn through megawatts. >Backed by In-Q-Tel. 115 units began shipping in 2025. > Cortical Labs is selling “Wetware as a Service” through Cortical Cloud, letting developers deploy code remotely to living human neurons with no lab required, > priced like a software subscription but powered by real brain cells grown from adult skin and blood samples. > it isn’t about gaming, it’s about biological computing that could eventually outperform traditional silicon in energy efficiency and adaptability. This is getting really scary and we’re still at the very beginning.

@kepano Could you make an option to try to preserve navigation?

Defuddle now has a website!
This means you can use Defuddle anywhere to get the main content of a page in Markdown format.
You can simply add "defuddle.md" before any URL, use it via curl, Skills, CLI, or add it to your app via NPM.

new project — defuddle > de·fud·dle /diˈfʌdl/ transitive verb > to remove unnecessary elements from a web page, and make it easily readable. Inspired by my work on Obsidian Web Clipper I created Defuddle, an open source library to replace Mozilla's Readability in my projects. Defuddle extracts the main content from web pages. It's a bit more forgiving and tunable to my preferences. Notably, Defuddle uses a website's mobile styles to find unnecessary elements that can be removed from the page. still a work in progress but you can try it out in Obsidian Web Clipper 0.10.9, or install it via NPM

Genuinely curious how much these prime package maintainers are getting paid...

Vercel snagged agent on NPM 👀 npmjs.com/package/agent

Find someone who loves you as much as Gemini loves filling in `gemini-1.5-pro` as the model name for everything.

This is the most resonant definition of slop I've seen: "It’s when we prioritize volume over impact."
Because this accurately captures the things that are slop but not AI (SEO farms, bad genre fiction, a whole ton of kid YouTube...).

Is it weird to say that coding with agents feels more...organic?
It feels more like tending a garden than building a house. You plant seeds (write specs), water them (poke it along), pull weeds (refactor messes).
It's a different skillset but very informed by existing knowledge.
English
@dexhorthy Nah, Ralph is a harness for the harness! It's a meta-harness!
English
can we plz settle on what a "harness" is quickly
harness == the coding agent (claude code, codex, etc)
apparatus == the stuff you build around the coding agent (backpressure, mcp, ralph wiggum, etc etc)
i'm tired of this blurry line where ppl use "harness" to mean both the agent and the stuff you build around it
English
@antranapp @peterfriese Are you using the `npx` command? It might be downloading it every time. If you `npm i -g firebase` and just change it to `firebase-tools` it'll likely start up faster.
English
@techczar00 Not at all. I'm finding slop a term that is useful to describe instances where AI is used to produce things at an unexpected volume with uncertainly beneficial outcomes.
The term has been used so much at this point that it's starting to feel playful more than pejorative.
English
@marandaneto Even in something like Maven they could be shipped in the compressed package and extracted (though it's admittedly not as clean).
English
@mbleigh cool approach, it'd work well for PMs that distribute any file rather than compiled binaries, such as NPM, instead of something like MavenCentral. That way, you wouldn’t need to search for or install vendor-specific CLIs or tools. You could use your own agent to handle everything

If you're a library author, it's a pain to figure publish agent skills in a way that your users will actually see. If you're a developer using libs, it's a pain to make sure you're using the best and latest agent guidance for them.
Let's solve it! I'm proposing .agents.lib
.agents.lib is a directory distributed with open source packages that contains guidance and configuration for common coding agent customizations (specifically AGENTS[.]md, skills, and MCP servers).
Rather than invent new distribution mechanisms, let's use package managers!
Who implements this today? Nobody. But if you're a library author, it couldn't hurt to start adding this. If you're an agent builder, it couldn't hurt to start detecting it. Let's make it easier to teach agents how to use open source!

English
@tiangolo Yes! Although I think we should have a separate directory name for it so that it can be more easily teased apart from skills for maintainers.

Libraries should be able to provide their own official AI Agent Skills, in sync with new versions and features.
So I'm starting by shipping this in FastAPI. Next, Typer, SQLModel, etc. 🚀
Now it's time to ask your favorite coding agent to support it. 😎

FastAPI@FastAPI
FastAPI 0.133.1 comes with the official FastAPI Agent Skill bundled 📦️ More important than the current skill content is that it will be kept up to date with new versions of FastAPI 😎 AI coding agents will be able to use best practices and new features as they come 🤖

@GergelyOrosz Sea change for open source, I expect.

We will see much, much more of this happening.
AI is changing open source incredibly rapidly.
Rewriting an open source project to a new language/framework used to be a massive effort: AI is making it trivial as Cloudflare just showcased with their 1-week NextJS rewrite
Malte Ubl@cramforce
Wow, @tldraw is moving their tests to a closed source repo to prevent a Slop Fork github.com/tldraw/tldraw/…

@samwcyo Wouldn't be surprised if they sent their entire CVE backlog through an agent to stress test it, but that seems like fair okay to me.

Two years ago, I reported an improper path parsing vulnerability in Next.js. Today, they reported the exact same vulnerability to their competitor, Vinext. Funny coincidence.
Guillermo Rauch@rauchg
We've identified, responsibly disclosed, and confirmed 2 critical, 2 high, 2 medium, 1 low security vulnerabilities in Cloudflare's vibe-coded framework Vinext. We believe the security of the internet is the highest priority, especially in the age of AI. Vibe coding is a useful tool, especially when used responsibly. Our security research and framework teams are extending their help and expertise to Cloudflare in the interest of the public internet's security.

@_ashleypeacock Yep. I think it's pretty consequential for open source. x.com/i/status/20268…

My other takeaway from Cloudflare rewriting Next.js in Vite is that it was possible largely due to Next.js’ comprehensive test suite, so for job security, it’s best us software engineers band together and agree no more writing tests
