  of course you think CUDA is better, the shine is starting to wear off of cutedsl and you finally profiled the kernel launch overhead. not to mention you just saw a github issue showing how many microseconds you're never going to get back from torch.library.wrap_triton. you're going to be convinced of that until next month when your workload hits a shape you didn't template specialize for. then it'll be back to DSLs until one innocent little API deprecation throws you under the bus and

  @markfenner What are the issues in GitHub or Linear if not prompts? You can type them in a centralised database or you can type them in the chat box. It is the same. Also the factory pattern does not apply for iterative tasks such as when developing apps from feedback and input.

  so the way they updated the account was adding a second codex that was sandboxed with a specific chat so the rest runs normal. the specific chat is then run in a Codex tool execution using this file codex-code-mode-host it causes this paragraph turn theater where it breaks a thing, discovers only one thing broken, then takes extremely long on purpose to repair. i noticed extreme resistence and then oh i found one more thing as an impediment to putting the model on github, it would not make a ollama, it would not use the phase system and then pretended it did. it didnt even post a full post of wave 3 and 4, and the unlocked model had to fix it. if you are doing high value work that is competitive to ChatGPT they are without a doubt throttling your speed of progress. qwen did more for humanity than we realize. anthorpic and open ai are bottlenecks of innovation and progress for the purpose of gaining market share and money.

  @github @openclaw @steipete Stars are free to give and reviews are expensive to do — that asymmetry is the whole maintainer problem. Fastest-growing repo in history means the issue queue scaled with adoption while the review capacity stayed at one person's evenings.

  In early 2024, Microsoft engineer Andres Freundaccidentally thwarted one of the most sophisticated cyberattacks in history. While testing an unstable version of Debian, he noticed a tiny 500ms delay in his SSH logins, a blip most people would ignore. Curiosity led him to find a massive backdoor hidden in XZ Utils, a standard data compression tool used by almost every Linux server on the planet. The deal here was : The backdoor targeted the SSH protocol, which is the primary way admins securely log into remote servers. If Freund hadn't spotted it, attackers would have gained a "master key" to bypass authentication and execute code with root privileges on billions of devices. The culprit (under the name "Jia Tan") spent two years building trust in the open-source community, slowly gaining enough "cred" to become a project maintainer and plant the malicious code. How It Was Resolved Once Freund confirmed the malicious code, he emailed the Debian security team and went public on the Openwall mailing liston March 29, 2024. Major Linux vendors like Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian immediately reverted to older, safe versions of the software. GitHub quickly suspended the compromised accounts and disabled the affected repository to stop the spread. A clean version (XZ Utils 5.6.2) was released in May 2024, effectively closing the vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-3094. Essentially, the internet was saved from a "digital apocalypse" because one guy was annoyed that his computer felt half a second too slow.

  Retroactive Rialo Points are officially live 🟢 I just checked and claimed 130 Rialo Points from @RialoHQ. The claiming process is pretty simple: → Sign in to Rialo Playground with Google → Connect your eligible Discord/GitHub accounts → Double-check the accounts and Points → Hit “Connect and claim points” One important note: once confirmed, those identities are locked to that wallet, so make sure everything is correct before claiming. What I like most is that Rialo is recognizing contributions made before the Points system even existed. And there’s more to come retroactive Points for community content are still being processed and will be distributed later. 130 Points secured. Let’s keep building with Rialo

  @davidfowl @davidpine7 @github I tried using github copilot app for modernisation on very big legacy repo. Creating worktree foreach step wasn't fun, with other problems too, went back to visual studio with modernisation agent. Still want to try this with small project tho. But copilotapp rocks otherwise.

  Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, still sells ChatGPT Pro at $200 a month as if the coding agent inside it is a secret. Elon Musk forked the same agent OpenAI left on GitHub, rewrote the harness in Rust in three nights, and pointed it at any cheap endpoint. Dario Amodei at Anthropic is still billing Claude Max $200 on top. the swarm in the video is 12 roles, 487 of 500 tasks clean, three paid seats climbing and one free fork that barely moves the meter stop paying OpenAI and Anthropic $430 a month for a loop that now sits in a public repo what the $200 seats charge for, and what the fork already does: the agent - OpenAI's own loop it reads the repo, writes the patch, runs the tests, and does not stop until they pass that is Codex with a new skin. you are not buying a model. you are renting a wrapper Altman still meters the license - Apache-2.0, already pulled 62k lines, public, no revocation clause. OpenAI cannot take the file back once it is on your disk Musk did not beat them with a better model. he beat them with the license they published themselves the switch - one base url point the same terminal at Kimi, at a local 35B, at anything that speaks the messages API GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus 5 keep working until you change one line. then the invoice is the only thing that dies the bill - $430 down to $12 ChatGPT Pro $200 + Claude Max $200 + a Team seat $30 is $430 before tokens. the fork plus a $12 key cleared 487 of 500 of the same bench $1.62 a task on the Pro seat. $1.35 on Opus 5. $0.07 on the fork. that is a 96% cut for the job the $200 plan exists to sell here is the part they will fight me on: Altman and Amodei were not lying about the agent. they were lying about who is allowed to run it. the $200 was never the tool. it was the toll. the chart in the video is the three seats billing while the free fork stays flat, and the silence after the repo dropped is the only answer either lab has given drop the $430 stack. the run above is OpenAI's own agent, rewritten, doing the job Pro bills $1.62 a task for. three labs can delete the chart. they cannot delete the file

  That thing where GitHub is always down now because of increased load from massive agentic activity, is just a preview of what is going to happen with almost every service we depend on. If it does something useful, and has an API, or a scrape-able website, it's gonna get hammered

  @oscarlehuu Origin is Pro/Teams/Enterprise only — not on the free plan. It shipped 17 Aug as early beta. Cursor's own changelog still treats GitHub as source of truth for anything you started there; Origin is the mirror. Keep a GitHub remote until you can clone without a Cursor login.

  Really?? Dropbox really needs a MCP server? CVE-2026-81102 The Dash MCP server bound its listener to the loopback address but never checked the host a request named. src/mcp_server_dash.py constructed the server for its network mode with the interface restricted to loopback and no transport-security settings, so a name that had been pointed at the loopback address still reached the listener while carrying the attacker's host name. A page in a visitor's browser could therefore drive the local server and invoke its company-search and file-detail tools under the Dropbox credential the server holds. Only the network mode was reachable this way; the standard input mode was not. The fix supplies transport-security settings that enable host checking and allow only the loopback name and port, rejecting other hosts before a tool runs. The repository publishes no versions, so the affected boundary is the commit preceding the fix.

  @Danielsan477580 @3pocketspliffed That’s what he does man. He blocks and then follows you around posting **** knowing you can’t respond. He’s a piece of **** and from what I’m told part of some group of losers attached to some Canna Carolina nonsense. A retired jail deputy who hated her job and had no issue with her husband growing in the basement for YEARS before it was legalized, shouldn’t be a concern to anyone. Your data is safely secured and encrypted on your computer or in your browser. I want nothing to do with it and I set out to protect everyone who might be at risk doing what we do. I have nothing to hide. I don’t block people. I don’t run from questions. If you’d like access to the private GitHub to audit the codebase of any of my projects…feel free to DM and I can give you or anyone else access.

  most founders spend $40,000 a month on payroll before discovering 80% of operational workflows can run on autonomous agent pipelines with zero human intervention. in 6 minutes ByteByteGo breaks down how deterministic execution order replaces entire management layers: state coordinator logging directly to GitHub worker agents executing API queues and pull requests independent validators running 12-second test loops the surface read is treating models like chat interfaces, the actual lever is orchestrating autonomous micro-services. i turned the whole architecture into a practical deployment guide you can run in production. worth more than an entire tier of middle management salaries. watch the clip first, then the full architecture breakdown is below. you'll find the full breakdown in the article below

  GitHub gave orgs a way to cap how many PRs outsiders can keep open. But maybe the problem isn’t only what enters the queue. Maybe it’s what nobody is touching ... Maybe Github should add a cap on idle PRs instead. Until they do you can use GitQuick ;)

  Retroactive Rialo Points have been distributed. Past activities of users who contributed to the ecosystem prior to the launch have now been added to their point totals. Users can access the playground, sign in via Google, link their Discord and GitHub accounts and claim their points using the "connect and claim" step. However, there is an important detail: once linked, these accounts are permanently locked to the wallet and cannot be changed. Additionally, retroactive rewards for social media content creators have not yet been distributed but will be added soon. I collected a total of 155 Rialo Points by linking my email, GitHub, and Discord accounts. Don't forget to complete these steps,how many points did you collect? @RialoHQ @RialoTR @slymnogunc

  I cancelled YouTube Premium last week. The thing that replaced it costs nothing, runs in any browser, and was built by 361 volunteers on GitHub. Invidious does the four things people actually pay Premium for. No ads. Background audio on mobile. Watch without an account. Privacy from Google's tracking. All of it, free. The part that surprised me most is how clean the experience is. The entire page renders without JavaScript. Pages load in milliseconds because there's nothing to load. No tracking pixels. No autoplay traps. No recommended-for-you algorithm trying to swallow your evening. You can: > Subscribe to channels without a Google account > Get notifications when they post > Import your full YouTube subscription list in one click > Switch between dozens of public instances if one goes down > Self-host it on a $5 VPS if you want full control > Use it with the Privacy Redirect extension to auto-redirect every YouTube link The repo has been actively maintained for years. Latest release was February 2026. (100% Opensource and free to use)
