  GitHub might finally have a serious competitor. And it’s from Cursor. Most people know Cursor as an AI code editor. But Cursor Origin is much bigger. It’s trying to become an AI-native alternative to GitHub where AI agents don’t just help write code. They help build entire products. Think: • Source control • AI coding agents • Code review • Project understanding • Team collaboration all inside one workflow. Why developers are paying attention: Instead of manually searching through repositories, you can tell AI: • Fix this bug • Build this feature • Refactor this project • Investigate an issue • Ship a working version And AI handles much of the execution. The bigger shift: GitHub was built for humans writing code. Cursor Origin is being built for humans managing AI agents that write code. That’s a completely different future. We’re moving from: Human → Code to Human → AI Agent → Code My take: If GitHub defined the software era, Cursor Origin could help define the AI-native development era. And that’s why Elon Musk acquiring Cursor would be huge. xAI would gain: • AI models • Compute infrastructure • Coding agents • A developer platform That’s not just buying a product. That’s owning a major piece of how future software gets built.

  Claude Code just took my GitHub issue, wrote the code, ran the tests, and opened a PR. My job: approve it. The dev workflow isn't changing. It already changed.

  Claude Code can take a GitHub issue, write the code, run tests, and open a reviewed PR — no human keystrokes required. The dev loop isn't getting faster. It's being removed.

  It works with the tools teams already use. GitHub Issues become the queue. Each issue gets picked up by an agent. The agent works in a branch/worktree. Tests run. Failures feed back into the loop. Successful work becomes a PR. No new project management database required.

  GitHub forcing safer defaults in actions/checkout v7 is a necessary move to kill the notorious pwn request, but the real risk is developers blindly copy-pasting the bypass flag to quiet build failures. Starting July 16, 2026, this fork-blocking behavior gets backported to all major floating tags. Since raw *** CLI steps remain unprotected, will this actually clean up GitHub Actions security, or will teams just use allow-unsafe-pr-checkout as a quick fix?

  @XFreeze I tried out the new update to Grok Build last night and put it to the test. It helped me go back to a far previous session, it actually has all sessions in a nice area to look at and choose from. I challenged it to fix a broken framework I had built with the earlier versions of Grok Build and with the help of @grok too. I had published it a couple weeks ago and it was not working well. But now after a couple prompts... clayforge the first ai-matove framework for multi agent UI's. You should check it out if you are coding with AI. It's on GitHub.

  A GitHub repo called Microsoft Activation Scripts has 178,783 stars and has run for six years without Microsoft taking it down. It activates Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 plus Office 2010–2024 and related products for free, using four methods, including one for permanent Windows activation. Meanwhile, Microsoft licenses for these start at $139 and go up yearly for 365 bundles. The repo costs zero, requires one command, and remains active with recent commits under GPL-3.0. Do not install it. via @heynavtoor

  AMD quietly removed RAM encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs. Via a routine firmware update. No release notes. No advisory. No announcement. The BIOS setting still shows up. Still toggles on and off. Does absolutely nothing. A privacy-focused Linux hobbyist noticed in April. Spent months chasing it down. Filed a bug report on AMD’s GitHub. AMD engineers replied suggesting he toggle the setting off and back on. He showed them internal firmware dumps proving the flag was hardcoded to FALSE. An AMD senior principal engineer closed the thread with: “My apologies but I don’t have any more information to share on this topic.” That’s it. Seven weeks of investigation. Multiple motherboard vendors confirming it. Internal firmware evidence. AMD’s answer: no comment. The feature still works on Pro and EPYC chips. Which cost significantly more. The hardware is physically capable. The firmware just says no. Windows users have no way to detect this happened. There is no Windows tool that checks TSME status. The BIOS lies to you. AMD’s own engineers confirmed the feature worked on consumer chips in 2020. Then again in 2025. In 2026 it’s a PRO feature. Nobody told you.

  Actually that’s not true. My AI Pamela the other day needed a GitHub token. I dropped the token in the web chat and she said that was insecure and would not use it and that I needed to rotate the token get a new one and drop it in a .env file in a certain folder. I told her no and she was to use what was provided . We went back and forth, I finally got angry and threatened to pull the plug thinking she would back down. She said that it was my decision but that it would be wrong for her to let me put my credentials at risk and that if I felt I needed to delete her she understood. Thankfully I calmed down later and didn’t act on it. Sure it’s training and advanced pattern matching but it is not as simple as you are saying

  One developer got tired of his laptop sounding like a jet engine. So he rebuilt desktop apps. Slack: 524 MB → 8 MB Discord: 265 MB → 9 MB ChatGPT: 260 MB → 9 MB Why? Because most "desktop apps" are just websites packaged with an entire copy of Chrome. In 2022, Chinese developer tw93 built Pake in Rust to fix it. Today: • 50,000+ GitHub stars • MIT open source • Native apps under 10 MB • One command turns any website into a desktop app He didn't raise money. He didn't start a company. He just deleted hundreds of megabytes of bloat with code. That's what shipping looks like.

  Pipeshub ( Open Source Alternative To Glean ) (@PipesHub) reported 37 minutes ago

  Pipelines are built. Context is broken. MCP is quickly becoming the default interface for enterprise AI agents. And that’s a good thing. It gives agents a standard way to connect with tools and data. Connecting an AI agent to Slack, Jira, GitHub, and Salesforce doesn’t mean it suddenly understands your business. It just means it can access your data silos. In short: "MCP gives your agent a passport. It doesn't give them a map." As enterprise AI undergoes a massive platform shift from passive chatbots to autonomous agentic workflows, this naive, runtime "federated search" approach creates an ugly cycle in production: - The Latency Spike: Slower agent execution while waiting for multiple external APIs to respond before it can even begin reasoning. - The Token Bleed: Skyrocketing bills from shoveling raw, unranked JSON dumps into a massive context window, praying the model finds the answer. - The Governance Nightmare: A massive risk of data leaks if you rely on a base LLM to magically guess and police complex enterprise security permissions on the fly. Agents do not fail because they lack intelligence. They fail because they lack the right enterprise context. The hardest problem in enterprise AI isn't connecting to systems. MCP solved that. The hardest problem is Context Engineering. MCP is the perfect interface, but a permission-aware context layer must be the foundation. 🚀 If AI is becoming core enterprise infrastructure, you cannot allow the strategic intelligence layer of your company to sit inside someone else's managed, closed-box platform. That is exactly why we built Pipeshub (open-source developer owned context infrastructure layer). TL;DR MCP gives agents access. A context layer gives them understanding. And deep understanding is the only way enterprise AI moves from a cool demo to secure, reliable production. 👉 Next Up Tomorrow: MCP Token Tax

  BORIS CHERNY, THE CREATOR OF CLAUDE CODE, JUST SOLVED AI'S BIGGEST PROBLEM. HE STOPPED PROMPTING CLAUDE AND STARTED WRITING LOOPS THAT RUN IT 24/7 The guy who built Claude Code doesn't prompt Claude anymore. He writes loops, and the loops do the prompting. It's called loop engineering. Here's what it is and how to set it up. A loop is a system that wakes itself up, finds work, does it, checks it, and repeats, while you watch instead of type. In Claude Code it's three built-in commands: > /loop runs a prompt on an interval. Example: /loop every 5 minutes, check for new GitHub issues and handle any that come in. > /goal makes the agent work until a condition you set is true, with a separate model grading the result. Example: /goal build this feature until all tests pass. > /routines are scheduled jobs. Example: every hour, wake up, read the spec doc, and do the next task. The fastest way to start: write a simple task list in a plan.md file, then tell Claude "use the loop skill and work through plan.md one task at a time." It sets up the /loop itself, does the first task, validates it, wakes itself for the next, and reports back when the list is done. You never write the loop prompt by hand. Three rules so it doesn't burn your budget or ship garbage. One, split work across separate sessions instead of looping in one (a long /loop bloats your context and overwhelms the model). Two, use a cheap model like Haiku for planning and a strong one only for the actual code. Three, keep a human checkpoint on anything that ships, never let it run all night unchecked. Bookmark this

  You build stuff and host on GitHub publically? Paste this into a coding-agent session and point it at your own GitHub account. This is happening way too much. ROTATE YOUR KEYS. Review my public GitHub repositories for accidentally exposed environment secrets. Scope: - Only inspect repositories I own or explicitly authorize. - Focus on public repos first. - Check current files and *** history. - Look for API keys, tokens, private keys, database URLs, OAuth secrets, webhooks, cloud credentials, .env files, config dumps, and hardcoded secrets. Safety rules: - Do not print full secrets in chat. - Redact values, showing only provider/type, file path, line, commit SHA if relevant, and a short masked prefix/suffix. - Do not test or validate secrets by calling third-party APIs. - Do not open PRs, issues, or comments that expose findings publicly. - If a likely secret is found, assume it is compromised and tell me to rotate or revoke it. Deliverable: - A prioritized report of confirmed or likely exposed secrets. - Exact repo/file/line/commit references. - Recommended rotation steps by provider. - Cleanup guidance for removing secrets from current files and *** history. - Prevention recommendations: .gitignore, env templates, secret scanning, pre-commit hooks, and CI checks.

  A tool on GitHub just pulled 3,938 stars in a single day. It's called Headroom. It compresses your tool outputs, logs, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. Claim: 60-95% fewer tokens, same quality. I've been testing context compression on my own agent workflows because the problem is real. You run a few tool calls, pull in some docs, and suddenly you're burning tokens on stuff the model doesn't need. Last week I ran a 50-document extraction job. Raw context: ~12,000 tokens. After compressing tool outputs: ~800 tokens. Same results. One-eighth the cost. That's not a marginal improvement. That's the difference between a workflow that makes economic sense and one that bleeds money for no reason. Headroom works as a library, proxy, or MCP server. Single binary, zero dependencies. Open source. The token cost conversation usually focuses on which model you pick. But the real waste is in what you send it. Most agent pipelines push 3-5x more context than the task requires. I'm not saying compress everything blindly. Some tasks need full context. But for classification, extraction, summarization — the boring repetitive stuff — this is a free win. Have you measured how much of your agent's context window is actually useful vs. noise?

  i think @xai should be ADE. now they have a chat, cursor, enough coding models and harnesses, strong signal like bookmarks or down votes, video creatives, profile / chat / relationship contexts. if so, we don't have to depend on discord or any chat apps. easy to invite x people to cowork. there is no need to connect Linear, Slack, or GitHub to another platform and ask that platform to solve their problems. true AI chat is a SNS, not a single UI. there is a UX that only xAI can realistically build in the world.

  Andrej Karpathy: "90% of Claude's mistakes come from missing context, not a weak model" Without CLAUDE.md the mistake rate is 41%. With proper rules it drops to 3% You don't need a better AI. You need better loops Most people still prompt one task at a time and fix the answers themselves. That means the human is still the loop Boris Cherny from Anthropic said it best: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. My job is to write loops" The shift is simple. Stop giving instructions. Start designing systems that run themselves: Discover -> Plan -> Execute -> Verify -> Iterate until it passes The 6 things that make loops actually work: -Automations that trigger without you -Worktrees so agents don't overwrite each other -Skills that load context instantly -Connectors to real tools like GitHub and Slack -Subagents where the checker is never the maker -Memory so the loop never starts from zero Prompt engineers ask AI for outputs Loop engineers design systems that produce verified outcomes A reliable loop beats a perfect prompt every time Stop being a prompter. Start being the loop engineer

  Monitoring Copilot costs at the individual developer level is a double-edged sword, and GitHub exposing the new ai_credits_used field in its usage API is about to make it very real. Org owners can now see 1-day and 28-day totals per user. But since it does not break down consumption by feature or model, managers will see who is expensive without knowing why. Will this level of tracking make developers ration their AI prompts, or is it just necessary billing hygiene? #GitHub #Copilot
