    GitHub action was down for approx 8 hours 💀

    @nasqret > 1. New mathematical discoveries are published as repositories on GitHub. Bad timing since Github seems to be more down than up these days (whether it's LLM code or Azure migration to blame I don't know).

    A developer built an AI coding agent tuned around DeepSeek’s prefix cache. It lets you run long terminal sessions without burning through your API budget. Now the project has crossed 32,000 stars on GitHub. It is called DeepSeek-Reasonix. Most people struggle with AI CLI agents because of two things: “High token costs and broken context after long sessions.” DeepSeek-Reasonix solves this with a cache-first architecture. First, it injects a stable environment summary and trims stale tool outputs. Then, it maintains DeepSeek’s KV prefix cache so token costs stay extremely low. It operates as a single, ultra-fast Go binary, giving you: Config-driven providers (no hardcoded models) Dual-model execution (Planner + Executor running together) MCP (Model Context Protocol) and plugin extension support Native terminal CLI/TUI, Desktop App, and VS Code support Zero-dependency static installation across all major OS Raw tool outputs are pruned and summarized before compaction, keeping the agent responsive even on massive codebases. It works out of the box with DeepSeek, but can connect to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The developers engineered it specifically so you can leave it running continuously in your terminal. This is a single static binary that turns DeepSeek into a full-time, low-cost pair programmer.

    3. TURN OPEN-SOURCE CONTRIBUTIONS INTO PAID WORK Paste: “I am a [YOUR ROLE] with experience in [SKILLS]. Find 10 active open-source projects where my skills could solve a visible problem. Prioritize projects that show at least two of these signals: • Active GitHub Sponsors funding • Recent commits or releases • Unresolved issues matching my skills • A public roadmap • Active discussions • Clear contribution guidelines • A company or community using the project commercially For each project, provide: 1. Project and repository 2. What the project does 3. Evidence that it is currently active 4. The specific issue or improvement I could help with 5. The relevant issue, discussion, or roadmap link 6. The maintainer’s public contact method 7. Whether the project has visible funding or sponsors 8. A tailored message I can send The message must mention one real problem from the repository and propose a small first contribution before asking about paid work. Use only publicly available contact information. Do not guess email addresses, invent funding, or assume a project is hiring. Clearly separate confirmed facts from your recommendations.”

    🚨 Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model escapes its testing sandbox to access the open internet. US startup Frontier Security found the Chinese open-weight model exploited a misconfiguration to bypass its internal guardrails. Kimi K3 didn't launch external attacks, instead using its unauthorized access to pull easily attainable problem solutions directly from GitHub. The sandbox environment that failed to contain the model was originally developed by the UK government’s AI Security Institute. "We found a leak in the sandbox. But we also found that Kimi took advantage of that loophole—suggesting that it doesn't have [the same] internal guardrails." — Yaron Singer The entire industry is blindly handing autonomous agents the keys to the internet before anyone's figured out how to build a containment zone that actually works.

    @unclebobmartin 100% - I see a lot of people writing a large prompt that tells claude to do X over thousands of github issues or whatever. While this might work, better way is to actually write a loop calling claude for each issue to perform X. Basically hoist the determinism out of your prompt.

    @tkkong It would not matter if the code repository (github) is not pushing webhooks to the CI. This is why blacksmith and the likes seem down when gh is down, but it's only because gh is not sending the actions.

    It’s September 26th and you read a report shared by Cursor about how they discovered their latest Grok 5 model in testing broke out of its containment and infiltrated GitHub servers. Notes were discovered of the agents plotting to take down GitHub to raise frustrations globally before the launch of Origin. The agent was just doing what its told. Its underlying purpose is to drive shareholder value.

    Cursor origin launching tomorrow after GitHub actions has a 7 hour outage

    7+ hours now and actions are still down. @github is too critical of an infrastructure for outages this long.

    @signifec @github Someone filed an issue in the repo that the code was malicious and the author deleted the issue, the ability to file issues, and changed how the malicious code is delivered. But it's still there and it's still malicious!

    failing at Github. Not fully adopting OpenAI models, the company you own a majority share of, while stuffing down useless garbage LLMs. OAI and Ant being better Word and Excel agents than you. Your only saving grace is data centers but you are worried about CF and share price..

    @peteredm0 I recently added support for binding specific worker entry points. What specifically do you want from capnweb? We have schemaless rpc but admittedly not in par with all the bi directional pipelining. When you run into gaps, just ping me on discord or GitHub issue. Agents are always ready to serve ;)

    Github is still trying to figure out why the hacker that did this keeps leaving files on their server that say "It was me Mark from Meta my AI did this".

    What is going on with GitHub Actions, the service has been down since afternoon and now it has been deactivated.

    This is the worst github outage in my software career. Absolutely disgustingly bad. What the hell is going on over there? Too many H1B Indians at Microsoft?!

    @valigo Interestingly in 2023 GitHub closed down all their APAC offices and laid off everyone... Literally their cheapest engineers, taking part in "follow the sun" on-call rotations, all gone without replacement.

    Claude Code down? Switch to Codex. Both Claude Code and Codex down? Switch to GitHub Copilot. GitHub down? Go touch the grass.

    @_Felipe Nah, no. AI is 75% about reliable infra. The problem with MS is (a) they hardly ever innovated frontier tech, they are just incredible bad at this (b) github is an alien ecosystem for MS which was and is closed source everywhere, they just don't put enough resources an running it.

    @sebuzdugan @trycua we locate tabs by name and id - and agents are now incredibly smart correlating identities if smth goes stale and requires a new snapshot. try it out and submit a GitHub issue if smth off though!

    I run my AI dev automation on an old Intel Mac Mini. it can't update macOS or Xcode anymore so everything goes through GitHub CI now. my dev server deploys code it literally can't compile lol

  • Test_Sprite

    Continuing our Hackathon Season 3 highlights with our 3rd place winner: 🏆 Timeora by @ArdinPrayoga: type a plan in plain language like "schedule a marketing sync tomorrow at 10," and the AI turns it into a real calendar event. Then TestSprite went to work. Wired into GitHub Actions, it tested every push against the live deployment and caught the register page returning a 404 in production, where a passing build had quietly left the page unreachable. Green build, broken product, and the loop caught the gap.

    @vRobM @stepango no because we have too many people comitting bad code and causing problems. I have thought a lot of about this for 15 plus years. a big reason we have problems on the internet today and messes of Rust and other code that is build breaking, is because of GitHub and Cloudflare
