  🚨 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE a developer just released a free tool that builds a vertical video with a talking presenter. out of one script and one photo. it's called lanshu-create-ai-presenter-video. it landed on GitHub two days ago. 267 stars. MIT. here's how it works: 1. You give it a script and a presenter photo you have the rights to. 2. The AI writes and voices the narration, generates the presenter, and locks the lips to the audio. 3. The skill edits, burns in subtitles and a cover, checks the sync, and hands back a master with a QA report. 9:16, 1080x1920, 30fps, 45-75 seconds. all of it happens in one run, on your own machine. save this before you sit down to cut your next video. i left the link in the next comment 👇

  @Gamingtronium had a bug that auto mode in github copilot (which usually uses the cheap but reliable openai models) had trouble with, so i turned on opus 5 and it burned through nearly 50% of my monthly token allowance in one day 😭 lucky that i have 2 weeks of PTO this month. never again

  @Tech_girl How would it be able to determine whether the code was generated by AI or people? Realistically what would happen if GitHub would have to spend resources to determine whether the code was generated by a person (sounds expensive). It's very easy to defeat the purpose by being too sensitive (blocking human posts) too lax (allowing too much AI code through) or simply incorrect (blocking humans, allowing AI). It's very hard to get it exactly right. So just from the technical problem alone they probably won't do this. But let's say they did. How does that work out? Well, now people who rely on AI to do their work can no longer use GitHub. They'll probably want to keep using AI so they'll no longer use GitHub. I'm not yet seeing any upside. Less merges per day maybe? Relief for the system?

  @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs I’ve been working with Codex for months, and I have to correct this repeatedly in every session. Claude required one setup and then consistently worked with my private GitHub repositories. With Codex, I have to repeat the same permission/context fix every time.

  Suffering from a broken heart? Introducing heartbeats so you don’t have to suffer from a broken heart on complex coding tasks because of inconsistent output, misunderstanding of intent, and code review that piles up impossibly. Side effects may include reduced stress, less babysitting, freedom, and a high confidence in your code. If you believe that you’re in control because you’re prompting and that your work is ‘good enough’ with skills/hooks/scripts, take this with caution as it may lead to a new engineering reality. Do not apply to simple tasks. Heartbeats and verification work best on complex work with high traffic, security, and need for verification that is in depth. Dosage can be adjusted (see setting a budget for spend and tokens). Since starting heartbeats, Sina, a senior engineer on a large migration, has commented he’s way less burnt out since he’s not talking to an orange crab for 12 hours straight. Don’t talk to a crab, learn from Sina. Distributed by Atomic (bastani-inc/atomic), verifiable coding agent runtime, on Github. Open source because no engineer deserves a broken heart.

  @InfraScaler Look, there are no issues with the benchmark. Everything ran correctly, everything is fair, all results are honest, all traces are authentic, and I have them on my GitHub. Everything is open. Everything actually worked as expected, and everything in there is true. Meaning, all quants gave truly, well, honest values, and they solved all the tasks. The key problem is that the methodology itself is crap, and the tasks themselves turned out to be too easy for these models. That's all. They just cracked them like nuts, they just solved them. And essentially, like, okay, yeah, these models can solve these kinds of tasks even at their, well, lower quants. And that's it. Yeah. But on real-world tasks that people actually use, now that's something we didn't test. That's what I'm working on right now.

  @neembu_paani31 This is not true. Faang companies: Google: behind gemini, webMCP and Ik how much they do internal marketing and dogfood of new tools Microsoft: they were in news for openAI amd recently when they budget claude for engineers Amazon: i worked at amazon and we have mcp, and AI push. There is unlimited budget of tokens, kiro, claude, codex access. We almost every week get surveys on - is your team is AI empowered or not. Jira, github etc all are Ai empowered. It is a LIE they don’t know what it is. This is not faang/mnc problem. It is problem of an individual… forget company. Are these people don’t even follow news? Are they deaf? They can’t do their own research? Even non tech people are using AI and agents. Would be goid if such people leave companies. They don’t deserve the job

  GTA CENTRAL | News & Updates (@THEGTAPOST) reported 21 minutes ago

  The CyberLeek saga just entered its second week and the mask is fully off. Timeline: Site launched Aug 15 with a $CYBERLEEK token on Solana. First leak dropped Aug 18. Five videos in four days. Website taken down by legal pressure Aug 20. Back up Aug 21. Leaks resumed. Take-Two filed federal subpoenas against Microsoft, Discord, and GitHub on Aug 20 - demanding IPs, device IDs, account records by Sept 4. The "vigilante" fighting for physical media? They created a pump-and-dump memecoin two days before the first leak. A GTA fan used digital forensics to trace the wallet. The token crashed 90% while the leaks drove traffic. They claim to have a playable build. They retweeted "proof" from a fake Discord account they later disowned. They deny setting leak schedules while their site counts down. They say they're fighting for consumer rights while cashing out a token that minted on Aug 15 - three days before anyone saw a clip. Rockstar hasn't spoken. Just DMCA strikes. Take-Two's lawyers are moving faster than the leakers. Four days of leaks. Basketball. Warehouse stealth. Taser combat. **********. Full Leonida map. HUD systems. NPC interactions. The Extended Look is in five days. The tragedy isn't the footage. It's that twelve years of anticipation got hijacked by a crypto grift wearing a Robin Hood costume. The game is still coming November 19. The devs are still grinding. The polish is still happening. But the reveal? That moment belongs to the grifters now. #GTA6 #GTAVI #RockstarGames

  𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝟴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟳, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗜. The platform 225 million developers depend on. Issues, Pull Requests, APIs, Actions, Copilot, all degraded at once. GitHub's own postmortem is worth reading closely. The root cause was not some abstract "AI load" story. It was a misconfigured autoscaling policy. An Istio sidecar hit its concurrency limit and failed to scale because the policy watched the host service, not the sidecar. That cascaded into four HAProxy nodes exhausting their flow limits, which took down the auth path. Optimistic retry logic then piled on and made it worse. A separate retry bug in VS Code amplified Copilot token traffic from 9K RPS to over 100K RPS. One misconfigured policy. A chain reaction. Seven hours and forty seven minutes of downtime. And here is the twist. GitHub is owned by Microsoft and runs on Azure. But the load has gotten so heavy that Microsoft has reportedly been leaning on AWS, its biggest cloud rival, just to keep GitHub online. Back in April, GitHub's CTO had publicly apologized for reliability issues and said they needed to scale infrastructure 30x. The intent was real. But this incident shows the actual failure mode was not raw capacity, it was cascading fragility in the scaling and retry logic itself. That is a harder problem than "add more servers." And it is probably not unique to GitHub.

  Gemini 3.7 Flash might be one of Google’s most important AI releases in a while. Codex limits pushed me to give Gemini another real chance, and I think Google has narrowed what felt like a two generation gap to roughly half a generation plus product polish. And I think this exposes Google’s real problem now: the model is no longer the main bottleneck. The product is. ChatGPT and Claude make agentic AI feel like the default experience. Give them a task in normal chat and they can use tools, inspect things, iterate, and finish work without making you think about which “mode” you should be in. Gemini still separates this into things like Spark, and the experience is much less transparent. I can give Spark my GitHub repo and it probably uses it, but which files did it inspect? What exactly did it do? Which tools did it call? Can I extend those tools? It is hard to tell. Even OpenWebUI currently gives me a better agentic surface than Gemini web. Inside Antigravity, though, 3.7 Flash has impressed me. When limits on my other accounts run out, it has been good enough to execute plans I made with GPT-5.6 Pro. When it gets stuck, a suggestion from me or GPT-5.6 Sol xhigh is usually enough to get it moving again. So yes, G3.7 Flash is good. Probably Google’s best move in a while. Now they need to ship an agentic first 3.7 Pro or 4.0 Pro and make that experience native across Gemini web and mobile.

  @AgofureDan @burkeholland @github Have a zen login and put a nominal amount in, 20 or 30 bucks of which I've used some... then when you have an active account like that you have an API Key from your dashboard and follow their standard documentation. Free models use don't reduce your wallet balance.

  @0xIlyy if there's obfuscation they don't want you reading the code, could have trade secrets or things of that nature. no issue with decompiling code that's just plain machine readable like exes compiled from github, but you aren't meant to know if it's an encrypted program.

  DeepSeek V4's biggest problem was never the model. It was the harness. A GitHub dev built JSpace, a wrapper that changes ZERO weights. It just manages how the model works. Same model. Same brain. Scores jumped across every benchmark. → DeepSWE: 62.7 to 72.0 → NL2Repo: 61.5 to 73.4 → It keeps a ledger: goal, verified, open, next. So it never loses the thread. → Instead of saying "looks good" and quitting, it rolls back and retries One honest catch: the numbers are self-reported. Nobody has reproduced them yet. Don't trust the leaderboard. Run one real task, plain vs. harnessed, and see for yourself. Save this. You'll want it later.

  @kirtandopamine people did build it. GitHub Jobs shut down in 2021. Polywork was exactly this pitch. Triplebyte too. all died for the same reason: devs don't pay for a profile, recruiters do, and recruiters don't live on GitHub. users on one side, customers on the other

  As promised, here are some early thoughts on @bot Positives: Three-column setup is nicely done, and the persistent computer screen preview is oddly satisfying and somehow signals/invites me to do work I know will require a workspace. Just visualising it is a smart UI/UX decision. Multiple accounts per connector!! And executed very well except in a small set of issues (see negatives below) Inline chat cards for auth, account setup, user question tool all very slick. It’s clear the system prompt encourages proactivity. This is definitely a net positive - just not something I personally want OOTB (I want to know its output quality, behaviour, defaults etc before it goes off as majority of my work ends up being a client deliverable that needs my oversight/contribution/refinement etc) Default communication style is clear and without too much puffery. Also good at telling me what isn’t yet done eg. “I have not put them in Notion yet.” Decently fast - though this is more a Grok 4.6 thing than a unique Bot thing. Having the Cursor plugin ecosystem available from day one means extremely high utility very quickly. You can pin Bots and create sections in the sidebar. Like Codex with threads/chats, one Bot can send prompts into others - great for an assistant/orchestrator style Bot - and the UI makes it very clear on both sides when it happens eg. “Message from [Bot]” You can create Routines in chat. Channels is a really nice concept. Haven’t fully pulled on this idea yet but on face value I like it and already have some ideas. Negatives: Plugins that use an access token leave a “needs authentication” flag in the settings because you never complete an auth flow. You can’t add two github accounts - only auth option is via PAT (annoying that it's the only option), and while the UI presents the option to add another account it also only presents a single entry for “Setup Values”. I'd like more ability to set permissions and guardrails in a deterministic and obvious way - what Bots can read, write and where. As it stands I’m not fully confident I can dial it in with trust over what the Bots can and can’t do. Skills and connectors mixed into the one place as “Plugins” feels awkward and not the right model. When uninstalling a plugin and then reinstalling it, I noticed it had kept the accounts. Don’t like this behaviour. Mobile app for iPhone is great but no iPad optimised app. Grok Bot uniquely out of all major agentic tool companies is already the most primed for it. Please ship a great iPad app! Skills management is limited to its own directory. Makes sense but is annoying for me as someone who works across harnesses. Non-issue for “normies” and not a problem for anyone if they are all-in (for now I have a one-way sync from my .agents/skill directory into private “Plugins”) Pinned Bots take up too much space by default, at a relatively thin sidebar width I should still be able to have three across. I can’t manually order Bots inside a section.

  @liam_fallen I am not a big fan of cursor yet, the way that it attaches so hard to the Github for everything is not a long term thing for me, I plan to get far away from github thanks to Microsoft before they ruin it further. It's down now, at times, I never remembered that happening before.

  @mehulmpt the funny part is how much of local dev quietly assumes github is up. push, actions, even go get and container pulls that resolve through it. an outage turns your supposedly offline-capable *** into something that suddenly isn't.
