Imagine the next web browser has this significant support for panels and not limit users on the number of panels in the same screen. 😍
Actually.. we want it on almost every app. And, I can just buy a bigger monitor if I need it.
Woa!
The Origin Story of Github Copilot:
In 2020, @GitHub had just acquired my startup, Semmle, and the CEO, @natfriedman, gave me free rein to find our next product.
At the time, I had a bee in my bonnet: GitHub had more data than anyone else about developer behavior, but it wasn’t using that data to build new products.
I started exploring how to change that.
In June 2020, I got early access to GPT-3 and saw its potential to write code, especially if trained on the code on GitHub. It was the obvious project to work on.
It could generate a little code on its own, but almost always got it wrong. So I gave the model a set of 50 programming puzzles, the kind I used to set at Oxford entrance interviews.
I asked the model to solve each puzzle 1,000 times, using automated tests to check it. Given enough attempts, it got almost all of them right. That's when I knew it would be able to code.
I assembled a small initial team of ~10 people to work on what became GitHub Copilot. The first two people who joined were co-founders of the project: @thewunderalbert and @alexgraveley
Fortunately key people at OpenAI shared our vision, and it was the perfect partnership at the perfect time with @sama, @gdb, @ilyasut, @DarioAmodei and Sam McCandlish (months before Anthropic was born!), @npew and several others.
OpenAI trained the model behind it, Codex, and we built the product around it. It ran inside VS Code and suggested lines of code and functions as you typed.
The VS Code team, led by @ErichGamma, moved mountains to give us exactly what we needed. The Azure AI team of Misha Bilenko also helped make it scalable.
When we launched the technical preview in June 2021, it hit 1.2 million users in 12 months. It was an instant hit with developers and helped write billions of lines of code.
It also left me with an uncomfortable thought. The models had learned to code from public source code, and public source code has a lot of vulnerabilities in it.
It was easier than ever to write vulnerable code, and developers were shipping it faster than ever.
But, I knew that if AI could write the code, it could find the holes in it too. It was imperative that defenders got it before attackers did.
In 2023, I left GitHub to build @Xbow to do exactly that. Since then, we've already helped our customers find and fix more than 14,000 zero-days and the work has only just begun.
The same team that started the AI coding revolution is now leading the charge on AI security.
Why do they do that when we're working all day with all serious stuff? This seems so joyful.

🚨EXCLUSIVE MICROSOFT LEAK:
Employees are questioning if Microsoft is abusing H-1B and PERM programs.
A Senior Director at MSFT (good friend of mine) just sent me internal messages between MSFT & some of its employees.
Today, Microsoft just asked THOUSANDS of its employees to voluntarily resign, despite just reporting $133.7B in net income for FY26, up 31%.
Employees are questioning why MSFT isn’t pro-actively downsizing by removing H1B employees before American workers.
Other employees are asking why any employee cuts are being made when profits are so high.
Fair question if ya ask me.
See below to see all of the orgs being asked to voluntarily resign.
This is absolutely going to impact Washington States workers.
I guess because PHP is a very important language to software industry in Japan.
皆様に、今夜に対応して頂きたい大至急のお願いです。
多くのウェブサイトで使用されているPHPに関し、PHPのセキュリティチームが、重大な２件の脆弱性に関する注意喚起を行っています。
公開しているウェブサイトでPHPを使用しているか確認し、今夜、10月21日午後11時（日本時間）に公開される修正パッチについて、可及的速やかに適用できるよう準備をお願いします。
修正パッチを速やかに適用することが困難な場合は、例えばウェブサイト等を一時的に停止させることも、リスクを低減させるための有効策の一つと考えられます。

We can see top financial contributors for PHP have both Japanese org and people here
We give @automattic a lot of shit, but the company has contributed the most sponsorship money to the PHP Foundation since 2021. So there's that.
Impressive!
昨天参加完 DHH 和 Omarchy 深圳 Meetup，活动非常棒——如 @xdanger 所说，超过 500 人到场。teapawt.net/xdanger/status/2111390…
刚刚坐国航从深圳飞回北京，机上 WiFi 速度也不错。
航班上，折叠屏手机就是你手上的 agent computer：小米 18 Fold（最新旗舰折叠屏，玄戒 O3 顶级旗舰芯片）跑了 50 分钟 Omarchy，搭 pi + 小米 MiMo 2.6 Pro UltraSpeed，速度飞起。10 倍速视频。
Just wrapped the DHH & Omarchy Shenzhen Meetup — fantastic event. As @xdanger put it, 500+ people showed up. teapawt.net/xdanger/status/2111390…
Now on an Air China flight back to Beijing; the onboard WiFi is surprisingly solid.
On the plane, the foldable is the agent computer in your hand: Xiaomi 18 Fold (flagship foldable, XRING O3 top-tier flagship chip) running Omarchy for 50 minutes with pi + Xiaomi MiMo 2.6 Pro UltraSpeed — blazing fast. Shown here at 10x speed.
