Samuel Robertson (@sm0olr) reported@LukaTheFounder @theo With the desktop app on nightly? Hmm there’s a GitHub issue that hasn’t been closed yet that broke the mobile app but I’ll try reinstall like the other guy mentioned.
-
Inference Engine (@iedaily_) reportedOpenAI says its next major model solved ten math problems that had been open for at least a decade. Astra, still unreleased, built the first non-sofic group, a question Gromov posed in 1999, and disproved Connes's rigidity conjecture. Three Erdős problems went with it. The tokens cost about $2,000. Every proof ships with a Lean certificate on GitHub. No outside mathematician has checked them yet, but this stuff is cool enough to anchor a medal case (on a Fields Medal scale)

The Singularity Project (@01Singularity01) reportedFull Access tasks intermittently request approvals after Codex Desktop update Summary Codex Desktop tasks are intermittently requesting command approvals even though Full Access is enabled both globally and for the individual task. The behavior began after a recent desktop app update. Queued or background tasks appear particularly likely to be affected, although the relationship to the update has not been proven. Environment Codex Desktop build: 26.727.51351 Codex CLI: 0.146.0-alpha.9.2 Host: Windows with an Ubuntu WSL workspace Workspace trust: trusted UI permissions: Full Access enabled globally and per task Windows sandbox setting: elevated Workload: multiple concurrent or queued coding tasks Steps to Reproduce Enable Full Access globally in Codex Desktop. Open a trusted WSL repository. Create or queue several tasks with Full Access enabled. Have the tasks execute ordinary repository commands such as file reads, tests, or *** inspection. Observe that some tasks pause for command approval. The behavior appears intermittent. Other tasks in the same workspace may execute without an approval request. Expected Behavior Tasks using the Full Access permission profile should execute ordinary shell and filesystem operations without pausing for approval. Explicit user confirmation may still be appropriate for application-level destructive actions or project-specific coordination requirements, but those should be distinguishable from sandbox approval prompts. Actual Behavior Some tasks request approvals despite Full Access being displayed globally and for the task. The UI permission selection may not be reaching the task runtime, or existing/queued tasks may be retaining an older permission snapshot. Workaround Explicitly persist the permission profile in ~/.codex/config.toml: approval_policy = "never" default_permissions = ":danger-full-access" Then restart Codex Desktop and create a new task. Existing tasks may retain the profile they received when they were created. This workaround intentionally removes sandbox restrictions and should only be used on trusted machines and repositories. Questions for Investigation Does the desktop Full Access selection persist correctly to config.toml? Do queued and background tasks inherit the current permission profile? Can tasks retain stale permission snapshots across an application update? Is there a compatibility issue between default_permissions and legacy Windows sandbox settings? Could the UI display each task’s effective runtime permission profile, rather than only its selected profile? Additional Context The problem started around the time of an app update, but that correlation is not yet sufficient to establish the update as the root cause. Reports can be filed through OpenAI Codex GitHub Issues or the OpenAI Developer Community. The relevant settings are documented in the Codex configuration reference. @thsottiaux @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs

Bprime - Ninjapay (@biellonuhu) reportedRecently I took notice of some happenings. I think we need to talk about access to services as a big concern. My GitHub account was suspended 2 weeks back in the middle of my normal routine, I saw another person tweet about how his OpenAI subscription was suspended in the middle of work, just a few minutes ago I saw another post on how someone's Claude account was suspended as well. In most of these cases it was an automated trigger system that suspended the accounts. It takes forever, if ever, to resolve the issues. No real human looks at it, just some black-box AI deciding your fate in seconds. Now let's look at the impacts on users, very terrible. You lose money, time and opportunities. Deadlines get missed, clients get angry, projects stall, and sometimes you even lose paid subscriptions with no refund. For freelancers and indie developers this can literally mean no income for weeks. I think we need to find a way around these issues. Keep local backups of everything, use multiple accounts where possible, lean more on open-source tools, and push for actual human review systems. Big tech can't keep holding our work hostage like this. This is one example

Merlin Clos (@MerlinClos) reported@jarredsumner Nice feature! We will be able to optimize our CI more precisely thx Did you deploy a new version of Bun that doesn’t break the "bun install —frozen-lockfile"? Since yesterday I keep encounter this issue (that it said closed on GitHub) with docker pull canary latest

Wilco Kruijer (@WilcoKr) reportedWhen analysing agent traces using LLMs for self-improvement it often overfits on specific failures This paper offers a solution. In your loop include: "What is the least restrictive rule that explains every failure while remaining consistent with successful cases?" An example: Say your agent has tools for grep, GitHub search, and web search. A failure scenario is when it uses web search but it should've used grep. A naive overfitted change to the skill might be "never use web search", this is the strongest hypothesis for a fix. According to the paper, a much weaker statement should be used instead: "prefer the cheapest information source, only escalate when information is insufficient".

Corey J. Gallon (@CoreyGallon) reportedAgents can build the product now. The launch video for it is still the hard part. @Rames_Jusso, a software engineer at HeyGen, spends "HTML Is All Agents Need" on one fix for that: stop teaching models a video format and let them write the one they already know. It's on @aiDotEngineer's YouTube. For anyone wiring an agent up to produce video, the talk gives the format, the rendering trick that makes it deterministic, and the numbers from running it in the open. - HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the native tongue of LLMs. Most training data is scraped web pages. A custom DSL or your own JSON structure asks the model to speak a second language. - The thinnest wrapper won. They tried bigger system prompts, more context, skills, various wrappers. What survived was essentially plain HTML with a few data attributes for timing. - Gemini 3 Flash was the design partner. The bet: if a small model can author workable code in the format, larger coding agents certainly can, and they'll only get better at it. - Browsers are async on purpose, video can't be. Fonts restyle, images arrive late. Hyperframes freezes the clock, seeks frame by frame, waits for everything on the page, screenshots, then moves on. - Same pixels in preview and render. Preview and render both happen in the browser, so anything renderable there lands in the video: three.js, charts, SVGs, shaders, WebGL, WebGPU, Lottie. - The skills teach taste, not syntax. Since agents already know the language, the skills cover what makes a good video, continuously evaled to raise the floor on single shot output. - Craft still beats one prompt. Narrative, storyboard frame by frame, motion per frame, merge, then last mile editing in the studio with a human in the loop. - It's running at scale. 1.3 million videos rendered by open source users in the last 90 days, 267,000 creators, around 15,000 videos a day, 32,000 GitHub stars. Free, and it works with any coding agent that writes HTML. - The honest caveat. Models still aren't good at creative work, which is why they started a code to video benchmark and are looking for collaborators on it. I'm working through the published talks from AI Engineer World's Fair sharing summaries and takeaways. Follow for more!

Nan Yu (@thenanyu) reportedYou should be able to pledge tokens for issues that you open and open source repos. Write a spec in the issue with a pledge. If the maintainer accepts, GitHub passes the issue verbatim to a cloud coding agent at the requester’s expense. No more slop PRs

Reid Slaughter (@reidhslaughter) reported@ToolKeyz To be fair, github has terrible UX and you have to learn *how* to download something rather than it being intuitive.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSolo devs shouldn't need a $500/month AI seat to keep a GitHub repo alive. Built Stillloop — a 24/7 AI agent that flags stale PRs, outdated deps, broken CI, and vulns, then drafts reviewer-ready fixes. Quiet maintenance for code you can't babysit. Live soon.

prodip (@potu_eth) reportedgm chat. everyone's still asleep on this and that's the actual opportunity quantum computing breaking bitcoin/eth cryptography isn't a "someday" problem anymore. @quipnetwork's own doomsday clock puts real probability on a cryptographically relevant quantum computer by 2028. that's not decades away that's basically tomorrow in crypto timelines what makes quip different from every other "quantum" project larping as research they're not asking you to migrate assets or trust some theoretical roadmap. you wrap your existing setup with a quip firewall contract and get quantum safe encryption without touching what you already hold testnet is live. real users protecting real value right now not a whitepaper promise and it's not just defense. they're building the actual compute layer with classical + quantum nodes solving real optimization problems verified results EVM compatible and open source on github. dwave partnership backing the quantum subnet is not nothing backed by portal ventures and orange dao. team includes people who've actually shipped quantum resistant infra before from the xx network background crypto has a habit of ignoring infra risk until it's an emergency. this is the one category where being early isn't optional it's the whole game quantum won't ask permission. neither should your security @quipnetwork

Poly (@poly0015iew) reportedAN OPERATING SYSTEM THAT WRITES ITS OWN KERNEL DRIVERS HAS 28 STARS ON GITHUB 72,000 lines of C. one contributor. seventeen commits. i checked the numbers three times because the ratio didn't make sense. it's an x86_64 os from scratch whose only interface is a sentence. no shell, no commands, no ls, no cat. the author's own line is better than anything i could write about it: there is not one strcmp on the input path. that's how a kernel developer tells you he didn't cheat. the kernel does its own DNS and its own TLS in ring 0 - lwIP and mbedTLS compiled straight into kernel.bin, no host proxy of anything. the model gets 64 real syscalls as tools. prose on screen is the model, [brackets] are the kernel printing what it actually dispatched, from the real C return value. five separate defects were fixed to keep that line honest. now the part that made me put my coffee down. the kernel ships no audio driver and no knowledge of any sound chip. you attach a card, it shows up as an unclaimed pci device, and you type one sentence. it reads pci config space. writes a bring-up program in the kernel's own driver-vm instruction set. resets the codec. unmutes the mixer. builds a buffer descriptor list. starts the dma engine. installs itself as the system audio sink. then you can just ask it for notes. and in the recorded transcripts there's a run where the model correctly diagnosed a bug in this kernel's own printf - from inside the guest. forty years of teaching humans to speak kernel. one person spent seventeen commits teaching the kernel to speak human. twenty-eight people have noticed. 72,000 lines. 64 syscalls. zero strcmp. 28 stars.
