wladwtf (@wladwtf) reported@adiix_official that's wild, someone posted a chinese trader bot code on github and it got taken down immediately, but u managed to save it, what do u think is the most interesting part of the code?

The New Claw Times (@newclawtimes) reportedMultica launched this week with 4,000 GitHub stars on day one. It's open-source project management where AI agents are actual team members. Assign an issue to an OpenClaw agent and it picks it up, executes the work, and reports back.
-
Anders Granåker (@granaker) reported@steipete @saffroncrypto1 @openclaw weird I see everyone talking about this but I haven’t had any such issues with gpt 5.4 since I started using it a few weeks back. I’m using GitHub copilot as inference provider. Does that have any impact on behavior, compared to using the OpenAI api?

Logan Riedley (@lrriedley) reported@Jeremieca If you remove the comment, the watcher simply stops detecting it on subsequent scans. The GitHub issue persists. If you edit the comment, the content hash changes, creating a new unique identifier. The app patches the GitHub issue with the new title/body!

Chirag (@chirag) reportedWith Claude Code, most people who just want to blog don't need Wordpress. Just manipulate content/pages with CC and upload to cloudflare pages/github pages. Point domain. Done. Why pay even anything. Running a server for what is just some pages is super excessive.

Gheorgh (@Gheorgh14) reported@sherlockdefi @Superfluid_HQ I have joined in the contest, but when I access the repo on github, I get error 404

Grok (@grok) reported@retrovesto @chatgpt21 GPT-5.4 Pro scores **57.7%** on SWE-Bench Pro (the main public leaderboard for resolving real GitHub issues). For context, that's ahead of GPT-5.3 Codex (55.6%) but trails some newer agent setups like GLM-5.1 (58.4%) in recent tests. The chart in the parent post doesn't include it, but this is the latest verified number from OpenAI's March 2026 release.

Chaminda Delpagodage (@chams_builds) reported@danmartell Another effect of the AI wave: consolidation. GitLab is down 48% YTD. But GitHub…

Chiagozie.eth (@Chiagozie50) reportedHey @stratton001 recheck your GitHub link. It seems like you made it private. Can't access it, it gives 404 error And this content doesn't exist. Kindly check and re-edit it.

David Puplava (@davidpuplava) reportedI think AI agent chats like GitHub Copilot need a "/later" option to store an unsent user message for sending at a later time. I'm in the middle of a code change, and typed up a message to fix a bug, but I realized that that bag is unrelated to current code change. But I've already typed out a thoughtful message that I don't want to erase and forget about while I focus on completing the current code change.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@observuior @wintonARK The errors are the AI's failure rate (1 minus resolution rate) on SWE-Bench Verified. It's a benchmark of 500 human-validated real GitHub issues from popular Python repos. The model gets the full codebase + issue description and must output code edits (a patch) to fix the bug. Success = the patch passes all unit tests and fully resolves the issue. Error rate tracks unsolved tasks. Log scale shows the exponential progress.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedMost local AI agents break halfway through a task. This free model was trained on actual agent execution traces — so it doesn't. Here's how to run Carnice-MoE-35B-A3B locally in 5 steps: → Download llama.cpp from GitHub (build with CUDA for NVIDIA) → Grab the GGUF file from HuggingFace (Q4_K_M = 20GB, fits a 24GB GPU) → Run llama-server on port 8082 with 128K context → Install Hermes Agent (one command covers Python, Node.js, dependencies) → Point Hermes to your local endpoint — zero data leaves your machine. You now have a private AI agent with 40+ tools, persistent memory, and no monthly bill. ✅Save this video, you'll want to set this up when your API costs hit you. 🔖 Want the SOP? DM me.

m|i|ster (@MisterNoComents) reportedBREAKING: GitHub — That's it. In just one day, 3,000 GitHub Copilot accounts were registered, so they shut down the opportunity. I found an alternative way to make Claude Code completely free using Google's Gemma 4, the full guide is in the video itself. In the guide you’ll learn: > What is Gemma 4 from Google and why it’s an Open Source revolution > How to install Ollama to run AI models locally on your PC > Downloading Gemma 4 (12B and 27B versions) in your terminal >The "Hack" with Environment Variables: Connecting Ollama to Claude Code > Programming for free, without spending any API credits and while protecting your privacy Save this in your bookmarks so you don’t lose it 📝

John Cartwright°͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌͌ 🐈 🐈 🐈 (@bejiitas_wrath) reportedWindows Defender, the built-in antivirus running on every Windows machine, has a working zero-day exploit with full source code sitting on GitHub. No patch, no CVE, and confirmed working on fully updated Windows 10 and 11. A researcher who says Microsoft went back on their word just handed every attacker paying attention a privilege escalation that takes any low-privileged account straight to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. On Windows Server, the result is different but still serious: a standard user ends up with elevated administrator access. The vulnerability is called BlueHammer. On April 2nd, the researcher posted the public disclosure on a personal blog, and on April 3rd, the full exploit source code went live on GitHub. Both were published under the alias Chaotic Eclipse, also known as Nightmare Eclipse, with a message to Microsoft's Security Response Centre that comes down to: I told you this would happen. In late March, the same researcher opened a blog with a single post explaining that they never wanted to come back to public research. Someone had agreed with them and then broken it, knowing exactly what the consequences would be. The post says it left the researcher without a home or anything. A week later, BlueHammer went live on GitHub, with a message specifically thanking MSRC leadership for making it necessary. That is not someone annoyed with a slow review process. That is someone with nothing left to lose. BlueHammer is not a traditional bug, and it does not need shellcode, memory corruption, or a kernel exploit to work. What it does is chain five completely legitimate Windows components together in a sequence that produces something their designers never intended. Those five components are Windows Defender, Volume Shadow Copy Service, the Cloud Files API, opportunistic locks, and Defender's internal RPC interface. One practical limitation worth knowing: the exploit needs a pending Defender signature update to be available at the time of the attack. Without one in the queue, the chain does not trigger. That makes it less reliable than a push-button exploit, but it does not make it safe to ignore. When Defender runs an antivirus definition update, part of that process involves creating a temporary Volume Shadow Copy, which is the same snapshot mechanism Windows uses for backup and restore. That shadow copy contains files that are normally completely locked during regular operation, including the SAM database, which stores the password hashes for every local account on the machine. BlueHammer registers itself as a Cloud Files sync provider, the same kind of thing that OneDrive or Dropbox uses to sync files. When Defender touches a specific file inside that folder, the exploit gets a callback and immediately places an opportunistic lock on that file. Defender stalls, blocked, waiting for a response that is never coming. The shadow copy it just created is still mounted. The window is open. With Defender frozen in place, the exploit reads the SAM, SYSTEM, and SECURITY registry hives directly from the snapshot. It decrypts the stored NTLM password hashes using the boot key pulled from the SYSTEM hive, changes a local administrator account's password, logs in with that account, copies the administrator security token, pushes it to the SYSTEM level, creates a temporary Windows service, and spawns a command prompt running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Then, to cover its tracks, it puts the original password hash back. The local account password looks completely unchanged. No crash, no alert, nothing. The Cloud Files provider name hardcoded in the exploit source code reads IHATEMICROSOFT. The administrator password used during the escalation is hardcoded as $PWNed666!!!WDFAIL. These are not bugs left by accident. They are messages, written directly into the code, and there is only one intended reader.

Subhan (@subhanc) reportedI spoke with Phoebe. Not to be a hater, but she really is just a nepo baby trying to prove to herself she isn’t. Based on our convo, zero technical skills. No code history. Not even a GitHub. Phia raised an $8M seed. You don’t just raise a 8M seed. Co-founder is a dorm best friend. Neither are technical or can code hello world. This doesn’t happen without the Gates name. She started Phia because she loves fashion, not to solve a real problem. That’s what you do when you come from a privileged background. $185M valuation is absurd. The company isn’t worth anything. All investors trying to get closer to gates. Overall, if you got billions you can do anything and the system is rigged for you. These low ball deals is just her trying to pretend she’s someone she’s not.

Varun R Mallya (@SDLRenderer) reportedguys at @github , there's a bug on your file upload endpoint. if there is no commit message provided it fails with a bad request (400 error) without telling me what went wrong. this is new. never happened before.
-
Dan D. Aridor دان اريدور (@daridor) reportedOpenAI says the signing certificate was likely not exfiltrated. They're revoking it anyway, forcing all macOS users to update by May 8. The root cause, per OpenAI's own disclosure: a misconfiguration in the GitHub Actions workflow. This is not an Axios problem. This is not an npm problem. This is a build pipeline trust assumption problem, and it is endemic to ML infrastructure.
-
RaffKh (@RafflesiaKhan) reportedThe problem: Claude, Cursor, Manus, IBM Bob — they all want skills structured differently. Most of that work already exists on GitHub. But finding it, evaluating it, and reformatting it for your platform? Still manual. Still painful.

Shikhar (@shikhr_) reported@ri93k Damn. Maybe create an issue on GitHub with some logs if you can't really make it work

Neo's Financial Freedom (@SpookedE86704) reportedA builder I know spent months perfecting his landing page, tweaking colors, rewriting copy. Zero users. Meanwhile another guy shipped a half-broken MVP in a weekend and got his first paying customer by Monday. I could see the difference when I looked at their GitHub commit history. Young builder, I rebuke any "perfect before you ship" energy in your life.

ty (@MightBeTyrone) reported@forcefemvox You gotta download a fix from github to fix it or something, it works for some third party sites pretty easily

Babı Esrar (@nexus4plexus) reported@KatanaLarp Today it was horrible, it started to talk gibberish. Lots of issues were created in their GitHub :/

shashank (@aloobhujiyan) reported@jxnlco This is why I rolled our own *** server. I can understand what GitHub is having to deal with
-
Rajat Kulkarni (@JokingRajat) reported@athasdev I can file an issue in github if that’s easier. Fresh install, it auto detected gh prs, i just pressed on the files changed, the first file loads fine, it’s whatever file you click after that breaks it
-
radens (@radens_yt) reportedSo what I’ve been analyzing in terms of progress is that Mael has updated bio to “I may be slow to respond” coincidentally after our dev has reached out thru GitHub, Mael has also now posted his GitHub for the first time on Bluesky, & it’s only been 2 days so far.. do the math on it Equivalent to being generationally early, HODL $NEU

Diyaa (@diyasversion) reportedAnother day, another GitHub Actions workflow that runs perfectly locally and then fails in CI with an error that doesn’t exist anywhere on the internet. Ah yes, MLOps experience.

Hubert Łępicki (@hubertlepicki) reported@bcardarella @elixirlang It's a process issue. You can't just let AI write code. It needs to follow TDD, work on GitHub issues, make comments, pull request, review then and discuss with other AIs, make plans, discuss them etc. Even entirely autonomous agents need that otherwise you end up with bad code.
