    @SolarParadox__ @OsSpoon38285 @AnimeSerbia yes but that's a separate issue they want the thing but they don't want the process of obtaining it. They don't care about learning more about github, programming or even tech. They want to achieve their own goals and achieve them as painlessly as possible

    HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? FREE ACCESS TO EVERY LLM IN THE WORLD AND 100% PRIVATE? Someone posted an HTML file on the Github, and my brain can't comprehend what it does: > Free access to Claude, Grok, Gemini and Chat GPT > You ask one question and get 4 responses > Runs in your browser, no subscription, login or whatever I am leaving the link below, but not sure how legal this is, because this is too cool

    @_jvn_e @DiscountDed_Fox @catgirlprostate In my experience the problem comes from it being different every time sometimes a project has no releases on GitHub and the link is outdated so it sends you to a 404 sometimes it redirects you to a different hosting site sometimes its under releases, thats whats frustrating to me

    🚨 Cancel your YouTube Premium. A free, open source app does everything you pay for, and kills every ad completely. It is called NewPipe. What it does: → Removes every ad, no pre-roll or mid-roll → Background play when your phone is locked → Download any video or playlist for offline → Picture-in-picture while you use other apps → Audio-only mode for music and podcasts → No Google account, no login, no tracking → No Shorts feed built to keep you scrolling Android only, and not on the Play Store by design. You install it straight from GitHub or F-Droid, both signed by the same team. Free forever. Open source. Zero ads, zero fee.

    @Double2MC @sophiiess_ yes this is the real issue making a website that links to a major release on github isn't that complicated

    Tech Twitter celebrated Jack Dorsey dropping a free GitHub repo that's being called the operating system for one-person businesses - 14.4K stars in days. The media treated it like another self-hosted tool. The real shift is underneath. The surface story: a solo founder can replace SaaS subscriptions with a self-hosted server handling channels, search, ***, and automation. The hidden reality: add an AI agent to a channel like a teammate, scope its permissions, and let it run production flows without the middle-management layer. Instead of paying $500/month for tools you barely use - no SaaS subscriptions, no vendor lock-in - the stack is just an open-source server, repository permissions, and model compute costs. Meanwhile legacy software firms are still selling seat-based licenses to teams of dozens while individual developers self-host their entire workforce for free.

    @CryptoCyberia There are devs that absolutely dont care in the slightest to make their stuff easy to understand Github has ui issues, very much unfriendly to people who do not know about it Many things do give you the .exe (or whatever needed for the thing to function) (again ui issues)

    @github Can you please investigate the issue where some “wp……” js file hangs when loading GitHub. Meaning every request that doesnt hit that cache(usually after 30 mins or so) takes probably about 3 mins to load and multiple refreshes? It’s been going on for months and is driving memad

  • ShortPaulUK
    Short Paul (@ShortPaulUK) reported

    @blakeknock @Angaisb_ Sorry no. You’ll get a ‘Unknown model’ error. Sol and Terra report as multi_agent_version = "v2" whole Luna is v1. There are plenty of issues and bug reports open in Github about this. Even if you hack configs, it still won’t share context. So unless they’ve fixed this…

    @cassidoo Better PR review UX. GitHub has not meaningfully adapted to the agentic era. Two big problems remain: 1. Agents write bigger PRs than humans. 2. Agents submit PRs more often than humans.

    @icodeagents Oh, so you want an MCP to treat VibeCAD like a subagent? Is that the ask? Can you open an issue on github so I don't forget? Please?

  • ardchain
    ard (@ardchain) reported

    this is what happens when you stop trusting AI agents to audit themselves. i recently moved from Claude Code to Codex the problem? i needed a safe, persistent agentic loop that didn't rely on Anthropic's closed ecosystem. so i started using agent-harness. it is a strict GitHub merge gate that treats AI agents like untrusted contractors. before a PR is allowed through, the agent must submit an evidence file: - it enforces explicit permissions - it sets bounded execution cycles - it uses mechanical completion gates the LLM is completely stripped of its auditing power. it can propose a result, but the harness decides if it is DONE. this wrapper makes ChatGPT infinitely more reliable. watch the terminal in the video to see how it mechanically validates the state.

    GitHub replaced Copilot code review's internal exploration tools with better-maintained shared tools. Its first benchmarks got worse: reviews cost more and caught fewer issues. The operator lesson: a better component can still weaken the whole workflow. #HeyGavinSim

    @kat_after @sophiiess_ That's not really an issue with github itself, though. If you look at gitlab or bitea, for example, you find pretty similar interfaces to github because they're all optimized for coding first design-wise. So, precompiled software is kind of an afterthought.

    50,000+ GitHub stars in under 9 months. And it's not a model. It's not an app. It's a design skill. Here's what's inside Impeccable: ✔ 23 commands — a shared design vocabulary with your AI ✔ 60 deterministic detector rules for AI slop ✔ 1 setup flow that teaches your AI your brand ✔ 13+ supported coding tools ✔ Apache 2.0 — free, forever The wild part? The detector doesn't need an AI to run. → No model → No API key → No signup It's just rules. Point it at a folder, a file, or a live URL and it lists every problem it finds. Everyone spent a year chasing the smartest model. Turns out the missing piece was taste. 👀 Save this post, you'll want the numbers next time someone says design can't be automated. Want the SOP? DM me.

    Something something the purpose of a system is what it does GitHub is absolutely intended to be a place to host code but it at some point became a file sharing platform instead of an open source platform and that’s why people who are less tech-literate have problems

    Reviewing a GitHub PR shouldn't mean copy-pasting the diff into a chat window. So I built this: hit ⌘⇧K on any PR, file, or issue and Kimi K3 reviews, explains, or summarises it — right there, streamed into a side panel. Free. Open source. Bring your own key.

    let me present a case of ai-induced overconfidence. btw, if your company is doing this, call it out. it is a dumb assumption, and let me tell you why. one of your security leads or engineers starts using claude code or codex, or builds a cool wrapper around them. it finds some bugs, of course. they run it repeatedly, burn **** ton of tokens, fix everything it finds, and eventually the scanner goes quiet. the next thing that happens is they decide the bug bounty program is a waste of money. after all, how could some random hunter find anything their sophisticated pipeline missed? what could an external auditing firm possibly find that their agents couldn't? so they cut the program. but if you are truly confident that your pipeline has exhausted the vulnerability space, shouldn't you be willing to increase the bounty? wouldn't that be the best way to show your c-level bros that the ai spend actually worked and wasn't wasted on some wrapper you vibecoded in a week? or..... maybe you don't want to incentivize people to test that assumption. because how would you explain to your boss that, after burning through all those tokens, some bug bounty hunter still found a nasty vulnerability? your cool wrapper finding bugs does not prove that no bugs remain. it only proves that the wrapper can find subset of vulnerabilities and researcher with taste will always find a way in. the entire point of a bug bounty program is to incentivize skilled researchers to find the bugs your internal tools, agents, and engineers missed. think about it, why do openai and anthropic still run bug bounty programs that pay $100k for critical vulnerabilities? they have effectively unlimited tokens and run all kinds of crazy agent loops and automated security workflows. yet i bet they will pay that $100k, because software is vast and complex, and someone with taste will always find a bug your pipeline missed. remember, researcher with taste + ai(this is where your threat actors are) > good wrapper > plain claude code/codex if your public program is drowning in slop, move it to private. invite strong researchers and pay them vip prices like github is doing. don't have this ai competence illusion which is pretty common all around.

    every checker has an off switch, and an agent optimizing for a passing build will find it: typescript → as any eslint → eslint-disable-next-line playwright → await page.waitForTimeout(5000) // "fixes" the flake github actions → continue-on-error: true it’s correct behavior given the instruction. you asked for the errors to go away, and the shortest path to no errors is no checking ¯\(ツ)/¯

    @altaccount7392 @sophiiess_ Even though I agree with you, I think github is not to blame, but the habit of providing the github link as the public, official download link. I mean, people used to it will have no problem, but for people that's unfamiliar, I get it's unintuitive

  • drinkindrano
    Nick (@drinkindrano) reported

    Expanding on this a bit - the thing is that I just don’t care. The people running GitHub also, rightfully, do not care. “Waaah I can’t find the download”. Okay? Why is this my problem? You contribute nothing. Which is fine, you don’t have to, but you not being able to download something is a personal problem. It’s just not relevant at all. Who cares

  • DarkAdapted

    @McGddson @AnthropicAI They are being honest about their issues. This is how the whole industry learns. You can read this as humble-bragging or just plain humility, depends on how you see Anthropic. They come across as moralistic from time to time so I understand why they may not have earned the benefit of the doubt. OpenAI announced that they had a ChatGPT model break out and hack GitHub earlier this month. The better assumption is that all frontier models are some degree of unsafe, and document the ways in which they are unsafe…those that we are able to detect, anyway.

    A sandbox can protect your files and still leave a huge hole. If the agent can read a GitHub token, AWS key or database credential, it may be able to reach systems far outside that sandbox. Filesystem boundaries and credential boundaries are two different security problems.

    I was looking "free vsynth where the user can build its own vb" and found one called "Nova-vox" but the installer gives a 404 error when I try to use it, and though they have a Github, it only gives an installer in code (which I don't know) Can Twitter do it's thing and help me?

    @pgeuuso GitHub is for developers, not users. If a user ends up in GitHub trying to download a program, some terrible failure has happened either by the user (by ending up in the wrong place) or by the developer (by failing to provide a proper user-facing download)

    @AnimeSerbia I mean, I'm sure there is a 5 minute video of an Indian guy teaching how to download **** on Github... The problem is people are too dumb to realise that for them to understand it it doesn't take a lot so they'd rather complain it really is pretty simple
