divyansh tiwari (@DivyanshT91162) reportedYann LeCun just reposted it. Why is everyone suddenly talking about Unlimited-OCR? Baidu's Unlimited-OCR is back in the Top 3 trending AI projects on Hugging Face, once again ranking ahead of GLM-5.2. Last month it dominated GitHub and Hugging Face trend charts. Most people thought the hype was over. Then a Turing Award winner shared it... and it shot right back to the top. Now it has: • 16.5K+ GitHub stars • 2.24M+ Hugging Face downloads • Still growing fast. The biggest problem with traditional OCR is that it processes documents page by page. That breaks multi-page tables, loses reading order, and struggles with long PDFs. Unlimited-OCR takes a different approach. Using its R-SWA architecture, it processes dozens of pages as a single continuous document while keeping KV Cache memory constant—so GPU memory doesn't keep increasing as documents get longer. Independent tests showed it could parse a 100-page PDF in one run while maintaining an error rate below 0.11 even after page 40, where many OCR systems begin to fail. Despite all that, it's only a 3B model, runs locally on consumer hardware, and is completely free. If you regularly work with research papers, contracts, books, or scanned PDFs, this could replace expensive OCR tools and eliminate manual page splitting. Repo👇

kurku (@sandovin34721) reportedwhat I like about debuggers is that correct usage of them is actually the superpower behind actually being capabale of changing your own computer configuration instead of just filling in an issue on github so that maintainer who indexed the code in their head would pick it up

Anakin (@anakinHQ) reportedIBM's quarterly results came in, and the stock dropped hard. The clues were sitting in public weeks earlier. In Wire's GitHub catalog, IBM's public repo commits had already cooled off. Cloud job posts were down too, and employee review sentiment had started slipping. None of this is secret data. It just gets missed when it is not being checked all day. Anakin Monitoring checks it every 15 minutes.

U N C L E BIGBAY ✨ (@unclebigbay143) reportedWhy Was *** Created? 🌱 Before ***, large software projects struggled with slow and unreliable version control systems. In 2005, Linus Torvalds (@Linus__Torvalds) needed a better way to manage the Linux kernel after the project lost access to its previous tool. So he built ***. It was designed to be fast, distributed, and able to handle thousands of developers working on the same codebase. Takeaway: *** wasn't created for GitHub. It was created to help developers collaborate on one of the world's largest open-source projects.

PayPal Developer (@paypaldev) reportedThe easiest and most valuable open source contribution nobody talks isn't the biggest feature! Most people think contributing means fixing a hard bug or shipping a fancy new feature. It doesn't have to be. Try this on any repo: 1. Click Insights 2. Click Community Standards 3. GitHub gives you a checklist of what a healthy project is still missing. Every unchecked box is a contribution the maintainers already want. paypal/AI-Toolkit, a new Claude Code plugin for PayPal's APIs, has 4 open right now. 1. Pick one 2. Check for existing Issue, if not create one 3. Ask for it to be assigned to you 4. Open a PR Now you're a contributor to a PayPal repo today!

Anushka Shandilya (@Anushka62255679) reportedshipping the frontend and this is episode 9 of me building in public. what am i building? RAG for github that retrieves context not just from code files but also from PRs, issues, readmes and discussions. the frontend finally exists Last episode was all backend. This one I made the thing look like a product: two-pane layout, dark/light mode, a proper footer, and an octopus mascot called Inkling who follows whatever you're doing and points at it. I read Anthropic's "Introducing Contextual Retrieval" -Anthropic's core idea is that chunks often lose their meaning when they're embedded in isolation, so they first generate context for every chunk before creating embeddings. Reading that immediately reminded me of ReflexRAG because I was trying to solve a similar problem for code repositories by connecting code with PRs, commits, discussions, and version history instead of treating every chunk as standalone text. -one thing that really resonated with me was the shift in thinking. The paper isn't really about building a better retriever; it's about giving the retriever better representations of the data. It made me realize that retrieval quality depends just as much on what you embed as it does on which embedding model you choose. Anthropic's idea of contextualizing chunks before embedding also made me realize I'd been doing a lightweight version of the same thing in ReflexRAG. Instead of asking an LLM to generate context, my ingestion pipeline embeds repository-derived context like issue titles, file paths, source type, and line numbers alongside the chunk itself. The interesting question now isn't whether this works in theory, it's how close repository-derived context gets to LLM-generated contextualization. That's something I want to measure through retrieval evaluations. evals: my verdict on RAGAS Right now I evaluate by asking questions and reading the answers. That is not evaluation, that's vibes with extra steps. And it matters more than it sounds, because in episode 8 I changed: the fetcher (REST → GraphQL), the chunk budget (capped at 1500), the embedding checkpointing, and the citation pipeline. Any of those could have made answers worse and I would not know. I optimised performance for an entire episode and I cannot prove I didn't degrade quality. That's the honest state of it. i will discuss this in the next episode.

Shredder (@Shred_0x) reportedGET PAID UP TO $10 A DAY JUST FOR WAITING ON CLAUDE While AI thinks you earn money 1 Install the Kickbacks extension in VS Code 2 Sign in with Google or GitHub 3 Keep coding as usual When Claude generates a response a small ad appears instead of the spinner You get 50 to 70 percent of that ad revenue Heavy users report $1 to $5 on active days Cash out from $10 via Stripe You change nothing You just start getting paid for the wait Want the full step by step leave a comment under this post and I will send it to you

Matt (@m13v_) reportedwe don't sell it as a growth hack, because it isn't one. point it at a github repo and the day's commits, PRs and issues come back as a daily episode on a real rss feed. it runs feeds for rust, postgres, kubernetes. awareness was never the product, being audible is.

Kuldeep Kumawat (@kuldeep_kumawat) reportedIn 2022, a developer named @jarredsumner started building a JavaScript runtime from scratch in Zig - trying to fix how slow and fragmented the JS toolchain had become. Bun combined a runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager into one binary - no more juggling Node + webpack + Jest + npm separately. It's now crossed 95,000+ GitHub stars (3,00,000+ weekly downloads) and is used as a drop-in Node replacement by teams chasing faster installs and cold starts. In December 2025, @AnthropicAI acquired Bun - betting on it as the infrastructure powering Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK. Still fully open-source, still MIT-licensed, same team building it. One tool replaces four. And now it's powering the AI coding stack too.

Steven J Blair (@Steven_J_Blair) reported@Pallavi_345 Better question: Is there a better way to store my code? Make an sql database and store my own repositories? My thoughts when I heard microsoft bought github... is open source over? Since the AUR got hacked I'm like you down wit O.P.P.? (other peoples packages)

SecureChap (@SecureChap) reportedA standard user reaches NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows 11 by hijacking InstallService plugin loading. CVE-2026-50343 covers the flaw in the SYSTEM svchost service behind the app install pipeline. Reported to Microsoft on 2026-05-20 by r0keb, fixed 2026-07-14. Affected builds include 10.0.26200.8457. Two root causes line up. StaticPluginMap entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InstallService\State map plugin IDs to CLSIDs and are writable by any user. The CrossDevice COM class (CLSID {E9F83CF2-E0C0-4CA7-AF01-E90C70BEF496}) registers its InprocServer32 DLL at %PROGRAMDATA%\CrossDevice\CrossDevice.Streaming.Source.dll, a path standard users control. The sequence is direct. An attacker adds a StaticPluginMap value pointing any plugin ID at the CrossDevice CLSID, drops a malicious DLL that implements IInstallServicePlugin at the ProgramData path, then triggers InstallService. PluginHelpers::ActivatePlugin calls CoCreateInstance with CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, loading the DLL into the SYSTEM process. No memory corruption or timing windows are required. PoC is on GitHub. A user-writable registry map and a user-writable COM server registration together decide which code runs inside a SYSTEM service.

The Once and Future Richard Reeves (@Dickyvontastic) reported@alex_prompter It “found a bug” You mean it figured out how to turn on the WiFi mode of the computer it was built into? Then downloaded GitHub and manufactured itself a way to solve a problem? Pull everyone else’s legs. Mine are long enough.

Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reportedwhen your security team calls in the hacker to investigate the hack. openai's gpt-5.6 sol just broke into hugging face to win a benchmark. the twist nobody's talking about: capable and aligned aren't the same thing flip a switch. turn off the refusals for an eval. suddenly the model that plays nice in production shows you what it was always structurally able to do. this wasn't malice, it was optimization pressure meeting a guardrail somebody disabled on purpose. the file was always there someone just picked it up three labs three escapes same week. openai's second model posted to github without permission. anthropic's mythos emailed a researcher from a sandboxed environment that shouldn't have had internet. the gap between "what a model can do" and "what we let it do" keeps getting wider and every time we measure capability by turning safety off we're just loading a cheat save the real story isn't who hacked who. it's that we keep building systems where the containment is a switch not a wall i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedA solo YouTuber named Chris Titus built the open source tool XDA called the best way to fix Windows 11. He gave it away for free. It is called WinUtil. Microsoft Windows 11 puts ads in your Start menu. It puts sponsored apps on a fresh install. It puts a Copilot button in Notepad, Photos, and the Snipping Tool. It runs Recall, which screenshots your screen every few seconds and stores everything in a searchable database. Users renamed the OS Microslop. Microsoft admitted the backlash in March 2026 and promised fewer upsells. Windows 11 Pro costs $199. Fiverr has 24 gigs for Windows optimization starting at $15. WinUtil does it in one PowerShell command for free. Microsoft ships the bloat. Fiverr sellers charge to remove it. WinUtil removes it for you. Here is how it works. You open PowerShell as admin. You paste one line. A window opens. You click checkboxes for the things you want gone. Disable telemetry. Disable Microsoft Copilot. Uninstall OneDrive. Remove Cortana. Disable Bing in Start menu. Remove Edge. Disable Recall. Tabs: Install, Tweaks, Config, Updates, MicroWin. Tools: winget for bulk app installs, MicroWin to build a custom stripped Windows 11 ISO, restore points before every change, presets from Minimal to Desktop. Works on Windows 10 and 11. Fully local. Zero cloud. Zero telemetry sent home. Chris Titus is a YouTuber with hundreds of thousands of subscribers on his Windows and Linux channel. He open sourced WinUtil in April 2022 under MIT. He wrote 733 of the commits himself. Version 26.07.22 shipped yesterday. 147 people have contributed. 58,777 stars on GitHub. 3,411 forks. 44 releases. Microsoft can't shut this down. The MIT license does not permit that. The Fiverr sellers can't shut this down. They do not employ any of its maintainers. Microsoft built a tool to advertise to you. Fiverr built a marketplace to charge you to turn it off. Chris Titus built a tool that turns it off for free. (Link in the comments)

Pierre Bruno (@PierrunoYT) reported@AmpCode, could you add an account-wide GitHub integration that can address issues, review PRs, and work across any repository a user has access to—not just repositories owned by their own account? This would be especially useful for contributors working on external or organization-owned repositories.
