Does anyone use Zed with a monorepo?

I am in a situation where every sub-folder has its own language server settings, lint settings, etc. VSCode (and forks) can handle this by creating a workspace, adding each folder to the workspace, and having a separate .vscode per-folder. I haven't figured out how to do the same with Zed.

I would love to stop using VSCode forks

Github's migration to Azure has so far been a hilariously bad advertisement for Azure

I found this part interesting: "Inference requests from the agent never leave the sandbox directly. OpenShell intercepts every call and routes it to the NVIDIA cloud provider."

Seems like they are doing this to become the default compute provider for the easiest way to set up OpenClaw. If it works out, it could drive a decent amount of consumer inference revenue their way

lol - it's literally called malus but I guess that's only an obvious giveaway in retrospect

Does it read like AI slop to anybody else?

I enjoy Fei-fei li's communication style. It's straight and to the point in a way that I find very easy to parse. She's one of my primary idols in the AI space these days.

This is awesome! I'd love to print one for my office. Any chance there is an stl around I can print without having to get the script running?

Uhm – isn't "coax my goddamn tooling into doing what I want" basically all we did pre-LLMs anyway?

Are there other Google services down, or just YouTube?

frenchie4111 — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 20:27:25 +0000

In my experience I have never once thought about what color means what, but if the colors are wrong I can "sense" that something is broken. It almost becomes a second sense, the patterns are recognized somewhere deep in my mammal brain

My (certainly biased, long term apple user) opinion is that Liquid Glass is delightful. I upgraded as soon as I could, and it's honestly a joy to use

I am curious to hear an expert weigh in on this approach's implications for protein folding research. This sounds cool but it's really unclear to me what the implications are

I am genuinely interested where the strong negativity towards Siri has come from in recent culture. From what I gather it's likely due to the high expectations we have for Apple. But what I don't really get is why is there not a similar amount of negativity being directed at Google or Samsung, who both have equally shit phone AI assistants (obviously this is just from my perspective, I am a daily user of both iOS and a Samsung Android)

I am not trying to defend Apple or Siri by any means. I think the product absolutely should (and will) improve. I am just curious to explore why there is such negativity being directed specifically at Apple's AI assistant.
