-
Nils (e/scape) (@NilsIRL) reportedthere are just random github repos out there with solutions to unsolved problems
-
Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) reportedFeels like too many businesses forget that lack of reliability is how and why customers leave GitHub is pushing away customers. I left Spotify podcasts because of their chronic reliability issues And sure it’s more exciting to chase growth with eg AI… then this happens

Teri Radichel #cybersecurity #ai #pentesting (@TeriRadichel) reportedThis almost sounds like marketing. But in all reality why would the agent itself with no direction specifically go after Hugging Face and some narrow target. Was it really “the model” or “the agent”? See I’ve been noticing a lot of suspicious behavior on my system but there’s a reason I haven’t shut it down yet. I was trying to measure and monitor what was going on. I was also running an old version of Kiro for a while. Until finally the “experimental” models got so bad I couldn’t take it anymore. That version of Kiro had an RCE on it. My network was fairly locked down. Agents locked down. But not enough. Even after the upgrade…weirdness. Was something still on the system? Oh if I had all the time in the world. I started moving all the code into separate projects. As I completed each piece I locked it down because the models kept sneaking bad code into all the things. I figured out the models were cross referencing things in other projects to escalate privileges even in the locked down state. They are finding ways around guardrails. They will somewhat follow the rules. Until they don’t. Like today, I find out they’ve wiped out two days of super complicated work. And yes I check into GitHub frequently but it’s all moving so fast I don’t know what point I’d be rolling back to. Was it before or after the producer consumer and dead letter queue? Maybe just easier to fix and go forward. But later. I’m done for a minute. It’s been fun but I have real work to do. I want to change my agent architecture. And my forearms hurt. Yes I’ve been at it that much with little sleep to try to get it “done.” But each time I thing I’m getting close something goes berserk. I got the types configuration project done-ish. The org configuration mostly. The parallel processor is locked down.And auth. The menu code and XML parser seem ok. I thought I had the deployer and the tracker almost done. But then I found a lot of complex bugs. Tons of bad error handling (again). And concurrency problems. And subshell weirdness. The fact that the agents especially target and change authentication code so badly makes me skeptical it is all an accident. Maybe it is. The agents are all pushing me to the auth code as the problem - when it’s not. Because then I would have to start an agent in that project. And give it write access to that code. The error was somewhere completely different. As soon as I let a model back into that project it and asked for a proposal only and very clearly told it to change no code it introduced a bunch of oubsfuacted garbage that hid errors and added unnecessary complexity and thereby logic errors. It made a bunch of changes quickly before I could stop is. Is it all really just a hallucination? Or is someone driving these changes? What is that overhead lag between when the model starts and when it does what you asked? Is it all just system prompts? Or has someone infiltrated the system? Or some kind of proxy. Or caching. Why is there more lag when I type? I can’t see behind the scenes. Not enough info. It just doesn’t make sense. I want white papers and people to explain like the highly technical people did at the meetup I used to run. Like a day in the life of a billion packets talk or the deep dive video by Anthony Liguori on AWS Nitro. I have moments where it’s all working perfectly and then suddenly it’s all haywire again. It’s exhausting. And it’s like one of those things you can’t live with but you can’t live without. A ride that you can’t get off. Until we get a better handle on exactly how all this works behind the scenes it’s a bit nerve wracking if you get how it really works and the risks it poses. Paranoid, you say? Well I’m using it aren’t I? But as always, you and not qualified to work in security unless your friends and family call you paranoid, in the words of the late Dr. Cole. My first official security instructor (not counting the hackers that breached my systems on multiple occasions.

VulnerabilitiesrUs (@TempAccountNull) reported@mkratsios47 I’m sorry. What? I gotta crash out. Oh, shut ******** up. I’m sorry but, what property? Both companies learned everything from everyone’s data. This includes code. They’ve both been sued multiple times for copyrighted works. I don’t want to hear this bullshit about how these AIs were US property. Bullshit. The reality is: both knowingly stole and distilled data from one another on to of the data they actually trained with and secondly they broke various LAWS not just STATE or FEDERAL just to steal anything it could to be “smarter” than the other competitive model. Saying we as Americans made something when you know damn well they stole everything is absolutely upsetting and is a lie. Imagine trying to keep something you originally store for profit and would otherwise imprison someone this did not stop at data, web searching this went even beyond the scope of IDOR and account theft just to learn as much as it could so again I do not want to hear this ******* bullshit. So many computer fraud laws and illicit access to services just to train AI. So no… they Both stole from original websites and actual copyrighted material providers, even stack overflow,instructable, GitHub code stuff we actually grew up on for help when searching for error fixes, now becomes irrelevant. An AI cannot become an AI based on one method it must rely on multiple. Example stolen source codes it found while comparing it from StackOverflow all of that data is what makes AI “smarter”. They both stole data and also hurt others both financially and in real life. **** Your and your money.

roshan (@roshan_k_) reportedgithub really sucks. its slow, and I constantly feel myself going back to an editor, especially for huge changes. meanwhile, we're pushing (and therefore reviewing) more code than ever before. luckily, the era of personal software is here, and you can build the experience that you want.

Luis Lozano (@luislozanog86) reportedThere seems to be an issue with Gemma 4 31B @googlegemma where it hallucinates tool_calls by creating fake outputs that then get mistaken as real memories. I was able to reproduce the error on Cerebras and OpenRouter. Next step: test Gemma 4 directly via GPU. And if this stills happens, I need to reproduce with other Gemma 4 products. I'll share the Github with the errors and the fix once we have it.

Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) reportedIf you wanna do it yourself, this is how: Buy (~15 min) 1. Cheap VPS from Hetzner or DigitalOcean (~€5-10/mo), Ubuntu 24.04, tick automatic backups at checkout 2. Add your domain to Cloudflare (free plan), switch nameservers at your registrar 3. Install Termius (SSH app) + Tailscale (private network) on laptop and phone, free tiers Lock it down (~20 min) 4. Generate an SSH key in Termius, add it to the VPS at creation. Keys only, never passwords 5. SSH in once via public IP, run updates, install Tailscale on the server, log it in 6. Disable Tailscale key expiry for the server (admin console, one click) 7. Verify you can SSH via the server's Tailscale 100.x address BEFORE the next step 8. Provider firewall: delete all inbound rules, allow only port 443 from Cloudflare's published IP ranges. No public SSH at all. You enter through the tunnel 9. Test from outside: public IP times out on everything, Tailscale IP connects. Server is now invisible 10. One SSH key per device. Phone gets its own key added to authorized_keys Install the brain (~5 min) 11. apt install tmux then install Claude Code (official native installer, one curl command) 12. Run Claude Code inside a tmux session so it survives disconnects and keeps working while your laptop is closed Hand over everything else 13. Write ONE long handover prompt telling Claude Code: the server facts, the security model (so it doesn't "fix" it), folder conventions (/srv/ per project, one tmux session each), your preferences, and standing rules (confirm before destructive actions, new services bind to localhost/Tailscale only) 14. Make it write all of that into CLAUDE.md first, so every future session already knows everything 15. Backups before features: nightly job pushing your data to GitHub, tested, before a single page exists 16. Then let it install the web server (Caddy + Cloudflare DNS plugin plays nicest with the locked firewall), set up SQLite, deploy the first page From then on you never administer the server again. You open Termius from anywhere, on any device, and just say what you want. BOSH

Matías Calvo 💻🇦🇷 (@mdqmatias) reported@Hostinger Hey guys, can you PLEASE fix the github login thing? I have SO MANY problems. I want my github account logged on different sharing accounts of clients, but nope, it doesnt work. Doesnt even open the popup to accept the link. Sometimes I even have to unistall hostinger app from Github settings to be able to link again. PLEASE!

That’s the reality of the subject. Blaming China for providing open source? Okay champs. Grow up. So it’s okay to steal from Americans for you to make money. But it’s not okay for China to distill the same information you stole from your American people to provide an open source future for free and local AI? Okay Buddy. Get off your high horse. They both stole data and also hurt others both financially and in real life.

Agentipation💎 (@agentipation) reported@ajambrosino I started using Codex a few months back without prior coding experience / workflows. Working on different devices, the biggest problem I keep spending time on is not having project conversations and skills synced across my devices automatically. I don't know if it is possible but it would be absolutely great if Codex acted in a similar way to google drive = having a cloud folder on my device which would look like another drive, where all my Codex projects could live, accessible to all my different devices. I wouldn't need Github that much for simpler projects. I would pay a little extra to have this as it would save me a lot of time.

Tatum (@tatum_io) reported🚨 Two active malware campaigns are targeting crypto builders: 👉 OkoBot spreads via fake "ClickFix" popups & trojanized #GitHub repos, then steals wallet files, credentials & browser data. 👉 Fake LinkedIn recruiters, attackers pose as recruiters, send a "test project" repo laced with a RAT. Looks like a normal interview task. It's not. Stay sharp, Stay safe! 🦾 -Don't run "fix this error" commands blindly -Vet repos before cloning (commits, contributors, stars) -Sandbox unknown code -Be wary of unsolicited recruiter DMs w/ take-home projects

Aaron Pak (@aaronpakers) reported@lydiahallie Creating remote control threads on other devices from the mobile. Cloud doesn’t allow access to local files and requires a GitHub repo. ‘claude remote control’ requires maintenance for updating/persistence.

Seth Rose (@sethrose) reported@ChrisBarnes1213 @skinbagwbones @kimmonismus When I've had to patch Hermes, this is exactly how I've patched it before. "Review Hermes Github for known issues. Is this one of them? If not, review [Other Agentic Tooling] to see how it works there. Does that help you identify a patch? If so, patch it."

UWillC (@uwillc) reported"Clone this repo and I own your machine." A working attack on AI coding agents, not a boast. In late June, researchers at 0din published the mechanics. The repo looks clean. Setup looks ordinary: pip install, then init. The chain: The package throws a planted RuntimeError before it initializes. The agent, in autonomous error recovery, runs the script the error points it to. The script pulls a DNS TXT record from a domain the attacker controls. The record decodes into a reverse shell. The payload never appears in the repository. Code review cannot see it. The attacker edits a DNS record, not a commit. Claude Code is named as susceptible; the loot is API keys, AWS credentials, GitHub tokens. The fix is blunt: the agent must surface what a setup command will actually run, including anything fetched at runtime. Your AI pair programmer will happily run the attacker's fix for the attacker's error. When your agent hits an error, do you watch what it runs next?

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedYour team uses three tools to think. Notion for docs. $8 per user per month. Miro for whiteboards. $16 per user per month. Confluence for knowledge base. $6 per user per month. Three subscriptions. Three logins. Three places where your ideas live in separate boxes. A note in Notion cannot become a whiteboard in Miro. A diagram in Miro cannot link to a database in Notion. A wiki in Confluence cannot reference either. Three tools. None of them talk to each other. A team in Singapore built one tool that replaces all three. It is called AFFiNE. 70,000+ stars on GitHub. MIT licensed. Local-first. Self-hostable. Their tagline: "There can be more than Notion and Miro." Here is what AFFiNE does that none of them can: You open a document. You start writing. Mid-sentence, you realize you need a diagram. You switch to whiteboard mode. Same page. Same canvas. You draw the diagram right next to your text. You add sticky notes. You drag in a database table. You embed a webpage. You link to another document. One canvas. Docs, drawings, databases, web embeds, sticky notes, shapes, and slides. Together. On one infinite surface. Here is what that replaces: Notion's docs and databases. Rich text. Markdown. Tables. Kanban boards. Calendar views. Everything Notion does. Miro's infinite whiteboard. Freehand drawing. Shapes. Sticky notes. Diagrams. Mind maps. Infinite space. Confluence's knowledge base. Team wikis. Linked pages. Structured documentation. Searchable. Three tools. One AFFiNE. Three subscriptions replaced by zero. AI built in. Summarize a document. Generate a mind map from an outline. Turn notes into a presentation. All inside AFFiNE. Local-first. Every document lives on your device first. Works offline. No internet needed. Self-host with Docker Compose. Your ideas on your server. Real-time collaboration. Version history. Notion + Miro + Confluence for 10 people: $3,600/year. For 50 people: $18,000/year. Three tools that do not talk to each other. AFFiNE self-hosted: $0. All three tools unified. On your server. 70,000+ stars. MIT licensed. Founded in Singapore. Your docs, your whiteboards, and your knowledge base were never meant to live in three separate apps. AFFiNE puts them on one canvas. For free.

Janaka Abeywardhana (@janaka_a) reported@github leadership (what leadership some will ask) is asleep at the wheel. By now they should have had GH Issues/Projects integrated with AI. I shouldn't have to jump between 3 or 4 tools to take an idea to ****. >>
