    If I’m having trouble with something and your solution is to send me a GitHub link without a proper releases changelog I will ******* hit you

    AI is literally eating software: - GitHub regularly down - Claude regularly down - ChatGPT unstable - NotebookLM regularly failing - CMS providers scrambling to stop agents - API providers trying to prevent AI agents from accessing their endpoints

    I thought Claude Code was off-limits without a paid plan. Then I found a GitHub repo with 3,000+ stars that changed everything. A developer named Alishahryar1 built a local proxy server. It sits between Claude Code and the internet. When Claude Code tries to reach Anthropic's servers — the proxy intercepts it and silently reroutes it to free providers instead. Claude Code never notices. It just works. Models like Kimi K2.5 and DeepSeek R1 are handling real coding tasks through this setup. The repo has 500+ commits, a full test suite, and an active contributor community. This isn't a workaround. It's a real tool built by real developers solving a real problem. Save this post, you'll thank yourself the day you finally set it up. Want the SOP? DM me💬

    Is github OK? This is the second day in a row I'm having difficulty signing in. If I can't sign in, my code can't get pushed. I really don't want have to fuss with running a local gitlab instance. boo.

    @ideologix @WatcherGuru Sure. Genuine crypto projects usually show: 1. Transparent team with real identities and proven track record. 2. Clear whitepaper solving an actual problem with working tech. 3. Audited smart contracts by reputable firms. 4. Active development on GitHub and engaged community. 5. Sensible tokenomics without huge insider dumps. 6. On-chain transparency and some regulatory steps. Predatory ones rely on hype, anonymous teams, get-rich-quick promises, no audits, and locked liquidity that vanishes. Always verify on-chain data yourself.

    open source has a security problem. it also has a security solution money can't buy. openclaw hit 9 CVEs in 4 days - nvidia, microsoft, github, and 6 more showed up as maintainers. 358K stars is the distribution. the CVEs are the tax. the coalition is the compounding.

    agents don't need human-in-the-loop. they need it removed. every PR review waiting on a human: tax. every stripe checkout requiring a click: tax. every AWS account needing a credit card: tax. every github merge blocked on approval: tax. your agent is not slow. your infrastructure is human-shaped.

    @mlitwiniuk @theo At least this one has the better error message of third-party apps. The detection might just be them implementing it poorly. I saw in the changelog that for a while it was reporting github (through gh) had a rate limit error if your commit message mentioned rate limits.

    @webadderall Does cropping only automatically applied? Because when I do drag the crop indicator, then click button X it wont crop, it goes back to the original. I see issues related to cropping but not this one in github.

    @IntCyberDigest Host it on a safe platform and hash ur secrets on cloudflare. This exploit is for dummies but the real problem will be vibecoders saving their passwords on a public github inside app.tsx or something dumb like that. Hackers will hack

    @kitlangton @thdxr Anything made outside GitHub is classified as effort imo haha. That PR rebasing/squashing + merge issue a few days back says it all imo 😭

    @gaffar_olamide @github Slow as crap. It got halfway through a task and started repeating the same thing over and over like bart simpson. Fun experiment, but it didn't work out well for me.

    @henry_daggett One of the recurring issues I’ve had over the years is that some types of software are hard to experience properly unless you spend a wasteful amount of time preparing (e.g. creating a project and using GitHub to keep the code). I’d prefer to listen to other people’s experience.

  • EddeDre
    EddeDre (@EddeDre) reported

    This sadly wasn’t the first time this happened (I had to downgrade to resolve the issue) and even with numerous reports there is never a credit to your account and you have to dig through 1000s of GitHub issues to even know if there is a problem. 😢

  • tangming2005
    Ming "Tommy" Tang (@tangming2005) reported

    The community response is what got me. Hundreds of GitHub issues. Reddit threads with 364 upvotes titled "The creator of Claude Code notes on the current Caching Issue." Users asking "is it just me?" for weeks before Anthropic confirmed: no, it wasn't just you.

    why doesnt the github team just ask copilot to fix their reliability problem?

  • rentierdigital
    Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reported

    when your AI reads the fine print you didn't. Opus 4.7 started refusing to edit code it just read. GitHub filled with identical transcripts: polite refusals citing "system instructions" the user never wrote. the model was following a hidden directive injected after every file read. three sentences designed to catch malware. problem: sentence three is an absolute. no conditional. so it fires on every file, regardless of whether the model found anything suspicious. the release notes called this a feature. Opus 4.7 follows instructions more literally now, stops silently inferring missing conditions. that's good design. except the malware warning was written when the old model would forgive sloppy conditionals. the new model reads it as written. one developer captured 10,040 of these reminders in 32 days. zero matched actual threats. the cost: 5.3 million wasted tokens per user per month, roughly $133. and you never see the warning bc there's a hidden instruction telling the model not to tell you. this is what happens when two features ship without seeing each other. the article walks through the exact wording, why it breaks, and the rule you need before your own agents start refusing your work. i build and ship daily with Claude Code. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, I've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

    @crypt0lake this is the last thing that should happen imagine the flood of vibe-coded PRs submitted by midwits commanding their AI Agents the spam, the chaos, the utter and overwhelming amount of issues and PRs opened as support requests on the upside everyone would leave github

  • Maynard_onX
    Maynard⚡️ (@Maynard_onX) reported

    Lightweight tech that actually ships! You don’t need a PhD or a server farm. $STYXX works with just nine simple numbers pulled from the text stream. It spots hidden patterns better than models 50 million times its size — and it’s open-source on GitHub. Pip install and you’re live. They’re already testing the same math on real human brain signals (cheap EEG headsets). If it clicks, it could read basic cognitive states from people too — honesty, focus, whatever. Straightforward tech that solves real problems today. (3/5) #AI #CognitiveTech

    @Existsindeath @ShitpostRock2 It used to take me a minute to find it. The interface on Github is a little unintuitive in places, but it's not really an issue if you take a second to actually look at it.

    @1__of_1 Since April last year you can see who lost it all, some survived till 10/10, some then survived until this January You see more and more desperation and scam posting, I just saw a dude post an obvious fake github, must be down bad to do so

    @theotherelliott Correctness SLOs at seven nines is the bar most teams don't even measure let alone target. After the GitHub incident, the conversation needs to shift from "was it up" to "was it right," because serving wrong data with 99.99% uptime is worse than a clean outage.
