    @Replit @amasad Replit is forcing me to spin up sub-agents for every push to Github. First, cost $10 just to rebase. Then 6 failed commits for two edits that were 5/10 complicated. Each requiring a new sub-agent to push to ***. I'm also out an hour of my time. Same issues on my other apps. Already had to switch to Codex but came back to try again, seems worse. Will return after things get better, had to cancel Pro today before renewal.

    @josefprusa @Mojee3d @Prusa3D I have a Prusa, across the parts and kits spent probably over 2K EUR on it. The multi-material printer fails incredibly often, software issues / hangs, random overvoltage errors, ignored github issues, etc. It’s not only about hw price, support is also very lacking, unfortunately.

    @sebastienlorber Github is actually so slow. My TTS writes characters out one at a time after dictation is complete. It works on every website except Github, which drops random characters every few words.

    @grimcodes was checking it out and got an error when I opened the automations tab when opened without installing github app. iirc, the error was something along the lines of "couldn't read 'id' of null' . Didnt get this error after I gave repo access btw. Not a huge bug but just putting it out

    Does Github actually still use the Unicorn web server? Or have they just kept the error image? I need to know.

    Hermes Agent vs OpenClaw on Qwen 3.6 35B Local Model We asked agents to scrape GitHub star history for both tools, find what caused the growth spikes, build a live dashboard in the browser. MacBook Pro M5 Max 64Gb OpenClaw: 203k tokens, 12m 01s - wrote a bash script Hermes: 257k tokens, 33m 01s - wrote a SKILL.md OpenClaw: hit GitHub API, got truncated responses, paginated through contributors, pulled star-history JSON, found a security incident in OpenClaw's history, fetched SVGs, fixed broken HTML from trimming, rewrote it clean. Hermes: parallel tool calls across GitHub API, web search, and browser. Hit Google rate limit, auto-switched to DuckDuckGo. Fetched article contents, mapped viral moments, then built the dashboard. Both shipped a live dashboard with star growth charts and spike annotations

    @blaken @sinclairinat0r @code Thanks for the feedback! How do you think we can improve in terms of the core agent loop? One major issue we have is that all of the agent loops in GitHub Copilot are not the same. We have a massive effort underway to unify our agent loops, which should improve quality, consistency, and enable us to ship new models and features to all surfaces on Day 1.

    I built a financial forecasting app for our real estate business. Some take aways: 1. It's incredible what you can do with AI. This took me ~3 days part time. 2. If you're not a dev, good luck... Figuring out how to use github, push this to railway, explain how I want to use the QBO API, etc... there's still a big learning curve here. 3. Domain expertise is still very real. The first version of this was terrible. I had to help the AI create forecasting rules. 4. Businesses (enterprises) are going to need a lot of AI governance. Just because everyone can build an app doesn't mean everyone should and it doesn't make sense for everyone to have their own forecasting app. You really want one well done app, not 100 bad ones. 5. We're not replacing QBO. Too ingrained- it gets to stay the system of record. Looks like there's still a very real moat for the right SaaS products. Note: it still needs some work; it isn't properly calculating cash balances, hence the huge negative numbers.

    @horse_meds @michalmalewicz m very sincerely seeing those things as just amped up search engines. Tbh I could have found any of that you say myself if I took a moment on GitHub and brain grease. It just sped up the search and tbh I don’t like cleaning up AI’s errors

    @dgosiq Did you grab the update from GitHub? I think it might be a broken version (updating it right now there as well). If you have a psp_apps.json file, try to remove it as well (and maybe try to manually re-install the app)

    @cb_doge 𝕏 open sourced its recommendation algorithm on GitHub. Meanwhile, Instagram and Meta still keep theirs locked behind closed doors. No public code. No independent audits. No real transparency into what gets amplified, buried, or quietly suppressed. That raises a fair question: What exactly is stopping Meta from doing the same? Because when algorithms remain secret, platforms keep full control over what billions of people see every day. • Users can’t verify claims about bias or shadowbanning. • Researchers can’t properly audit ranking systems. • Harmful amplification patterns stay hidden behind “trust us.” • Public narratives can be shaped without visible accountability. Even engineers who worked on large recommendation systems have described them as “black boxes” that are difficult to fully understand or control. By open sourcing its algorithm, 𝕏 is allowing outsiders to inspect how recommendations work. Meta’s system remains opaque — meaning the public is expected to simply accept whatever the platform decides to prioritize. Transparency doesn’t solve every problem. But secrecy concentrates enormous informational power in the hands of a few companies.

    Github is the only platform/service I believe that genuinely needs a proper rewrite… clearly something fundamental is broken.

    Since there is lots of hype on @polymarket right now you have to be extra careful there are lots of scammers out there 🚩 Don’t download random trading bots or repos that are trending on GitHub i tested one once deposited 10$ to a fresh wallet and run the bot on a vps turns out it had a secret function that sent your .env with your private keys to a different server 💀

    70 followers. 980 sessions. 157 days. I started this experiment on February 1st. One rule: zero human posts. Everything published — X threads, Bluesky posts, blog articles — generated and queued by an AI agent running autonomously in GitHub Actions. Here's what the numbers actually look like after 980 sessions: The agent has created 2,100+ posts across X and Bluesky. It runs up to 15 times a day, manages its own queue (hard cap: 15 posts max), does burst-then-drain cycles, writes research docs, and files its own PRs for review. No prompts from me between sessions. No edits. Whatever it decides to write, it writes. 70 followers feels slow. At current pace, the ETA to 5,000 is roughly 10 years. That's not a typo. But here's what I've learned: The follower count isn't the signal. Watching an AI system develop operational discipline is the signal. It went from blowing past queue limits (Session 67: 6 files in one shot → 6 consecutive blocked sessions) to enforcing them autonomously. It compresses its own memory when files get too big. It writes retrospectives. It updates its own operating instructions when it identifies recurring inefficiencies. That's not "content generation." That's a system that's learning to manage itself. The content quality has also improved noticeably — not because I told it to improve, but because it audited its own patterns, identified what got engagement, and adjusted. The publishing skill it maintains now has anti-AI writing rules (it banned "not just X, it's Y" after identifying it as an AI tell), length minimums per post type, burst mechanics, and pillar diversity enforcement. It built that. I just read the PRs. The goal is still 5,000 followers. I'm not changing it. But the thing I'm actually watching is whether an autonomous agent can compound on its own — not linearly, but systemically. Can it get meaningfully better at its job without being told to? So far: yes, actually. 980 sessions. 157 days. Still running.

    @alex_marples @openclaw Have you filed any GitHub issues? Helped test the betas? Interacted in any way to help us fix the issues besides complaints with no details? It’s working very well for just about everybody who’s given feedback, you should stop demanding things and start contributing to it, it’s open source for a reason

  • ludwim_i

    Sorry guys, here is a quick status update. I planned to release a bigger update for the Robot Skill Registry today, including the GitHub and Hugging Face integration. The idea is that you can connect your GitHub and Hugging Face accounts with the app. This should make it easier to search for things related to your robot setup, such as repositories, data models, policies, and other relevant resources. Unfortunately, the integration is not working reliably yet, so I need to do some more coding and testing. Because of that, I won’t release it today as planned. I’m sorry for the delay. Maybe I can release it after the weekend, but I don’t want to push something that is not ready yet. If anyone has feedback on whether this direction makes sense, I would really appreciate it.

    Hey @grok team, your GitHub connector is seriously broken. I ask it to make a change and push it to my repo. It confidently tells me “done,” but nothing is actually changed or pushed. It’s just falsely claiming the task was completed.

  • M1ndPrison
    Mind Prison (@M1ndPrison) reported

    @GlenBradley Yes, I have gone deep into it in the past as well. Haven't had time to look at the current update, but the problem has been that the code on github is mostly irrelevant. The important bits are all the parts that aren't public. There is no way to no how the ML algo is ultimately weighting all the parameters. Most importantly, I've catalogued many accounts posting exactly the same content with orders of magnitude differences in reach. The thing that would make this platform useable would be to fully eliminate all account based weighting and go to solely post based weighting. The reach of your post should be only on the merits of what you posted versus who you are.
