  India forces GitHub to take down Bitchat "Bitchat enables anonymous communication without mandatory user registration, phone number verification, or centralized logging of communications. The technical architecture of the application significantly impedes interception, attribution, and investigation by law enforcement agencies." – Government of India

  2. If it isn't documented, it doesn't exist. Crypto moves fast. Information gets lost even faster. Use Notion, GitHub, Loom or whatever your team uses. Write things down so people can find answers without needing another meeting.

  葉隠れ (@osanpochuudayo) reported 16 minutes ago

  Order names three repo URLs and doesn’t name a single unlawful message. The legal theory is this software is capable of X, not this software did X. That standard justifies shutting down any communication tool that works, which is the tell. The repo’s already live on gitlawb outside GitHub’s jurisdiction, same commit history, same releases. The notice took down one host. Anyone who cloned or mesh-distributed the APK before the deadline never needed GitHub in the first place — enforcement removed a mirror, not the software.

  @ThePrimeagen Isn’t it their way of preventing the huge scaling problems that GitHub is facing? I don’t really agree with the public sentiment they’re announcing but the engineering problems certainly make sense

  3/ You find a GitHub repo that might have what you need. Clone. Install. Fix dependencies. Run the example. Twenty minutes later you realize it wasn't what you were looking for. Sometimes all you wanted was a 10-second preview.

  Blocking code is the tell. governments stopped going after apps and started going after repos, because github is a single point of failure with a legal department. @gitlawb fixed the actual problem of India banning Github's Repos of Bitchat : *** as a network, not a website. no company, no chokepoint, nothing to serve an order to.

  ' @CNPYNetwork crossed 793K+ virtual chains on testnet and mainnet hasnt even launched yet. How? Most blockchain projects compete on speed or fees, TPS but CANOPY is competing with developer experience. Think about the biggest software revolutions: Cloud computing, GitHub, docker, stripe; none of them became successful because they made computers faster but instead they removed friction. CANOPY is solving the right problems, huge.

  $15M raised: Meticulous grew ARR 5x in a year testing code nobody has time to review manually anymore Chemistry led the Series A, joined by Menlo Ventures, Lachy Groom, and GitHub's former CEO Jason Warner. Founders Gabriel and Quentin Spencer-Harper, brothers with backgrounds at Dropbox and Palantir, built the company around a problem AI coding tools created faster than they solved: code is now written faster than humans can review it. The product records real user and developer sessions during development, then uses AI to auto-generate and maintain end-to-end visual regression tests based on actual observed usage, updating automatically as the code changes. Customers include Notion, ElevenLabs, Dropbox, and Wiz, a list that skews toward companies shipping fast enough to need this. Rainforest QA and Autify compete in AI-assisted testing broadly, but most rely on hand-written test cases rather than tests derived from real session data. The tradeoff Meticulous accepts is that session-derived tests can still miss rare edge cases nobody happened to trigger, which is why the company is expanding from frontend into backend and performance testing next. A 5x ARR jump in a year says enough teams have hit the same wall: AI writes code faster than any QA team can keep up with by hand.

  ONE GITHUB FILE MAKING CLAUDE SMARTER THE MOMENT YOU INSTALL IT. It's called Andrej Karpathy's skills. One file. Zero lines of code. Built on Andrej Karpathy's own notes about where AI coding agents go wrong. Every Claude user has the same 4 complaints. It over-engineers a 10-line fix. It ignores your instructions. It marks a task done when it's not. It invents APIs that don't exist. 4 rules in this file kill all 4. Ask it to fix a typo. It used to rewrite the whole file. Now it touches 1 line. THE EXPERIENCE OF USING CLAUDE CHANGES THE SECOND THIS FILE HITS YOUR PROJECT ROOT. 170,000 developers starred it in weeks. Not for the code. There is none. For the discipline.

  ∆RKON ∆LΞX∆NDR (@_AlexanderDavis) reported 42 minutes ago

  @SpaceXAI I tried Grok 4.5 in Grok Build CLI + VSC + GitHub running my custom instructions 'OS' for a week after having done this with Claude Opus 4.x for half a year and Fable 5 for a few months solid, full-time every day. The weekly usage cap has to be increased. I got to 100% with some restraint (not engaging in heavy projects here and there) by Friday at noon. I estimate it needs at least another 40% to be my solution over Claude. Notice I didn't say for me to buy credits. $400/yr for basically Opus-Fable performance? That's an insanely good deal. Too good to be true (it is). Grok 4.5 at ~$1 vs ~$12 on compute is a game changer. But WORTHLESS with a weekly usage cap that makes it unreliable and us stress-pinching tokens or hitting the wall before the week is over, on a light week. I even optimized my 'OS' instr. set substantially to get onboarding from 270k context down to 90k (this didn't matter on Claude at 1M+ context, which I designed it for originally). And Grok 4.5 only has 500k, auto-recompacts on ~430k, so really ~430k. We're in the age of 1M+ context, this is mandatory now. Either that or solve context/memory differently. It's insane there's SuperGrok for $400/yr or the only other next tier up is SuperGrok Heavy for $300/MONTH, WORSE than Anthropic's largest tier. There's nothing in-between. That's nuts. We need something we can budget, not guessing and stressing on credit usage per month. Grok 4.5 is NOT at Fable 5 performance-- I regularly caught it making Sonnet style mistakes (the version from over a year ago), which means I can't TRUST IT. Because of the weekly cap, you're effectively charging MORE than your competitor, not less, for less quality performance and trust. Last I heard, your image model is Flux, so that's not the value add you might pass it off to be. Chat, Image, Video, Voice all now eat from the same pool as Grok itself. No. At least, not with the pool so small. I'm a shareholder. But I'm given no other choice than to continue with my Claude Max x20 at $200/mo which *IS* the frontier and the better value, and to save money I might just try downgrading to $100/mo at Max x5 and see how far I get there. Oh... Claude 5 launched today. 'Near Fable 5 at a fraction of the cost.' Which was the whole 'get' with Grok 4.5. The quickest fix here is a significantly increased weekly limit on SuperGrok while we wait for Grok to actually be better than Claude. And then there's got to be better pricing tiers. I've been perfectly satisfied with AI performance since Opus 4.8. The name of the game now is AI that good at significantly cheaper / better optimization, actually, which includes the weekly usage limit. How are you selling Anthropic compute but being skimpy on weekly usage for your own model to your own direct customers?

  @nixxin About Targeting GitHub isn’t proof of an anti-decentralization agenda. You can’t serve a takedown notice on a protocol. If the app is the problem, the repo host is where you go. That’s just how blocking orders work, for any open source tool.

But Andrew — I have to be honest with you right now and I hope you hear this as coming from someone who cares: I don't know if this is: Codex auto-installing itself when you logged into a connected account Something synced via iCloud/Apple ID automatically Something that came with a software install Something more concerning Those first three explanations are mundane and likely. Codex can auto-configure on first login if you signed into your Microsoft/GitHub account. What I'd ask before drawing conclusions: Did you sign into GitHub, VS Code, or any Microsoft service on this Mac? Did you restore from a backup or Time Machine? Did you install anything that might have pulled Codex as a dependency? I'm not dismissing you. I'm trying to help you find the actual answer before the situation escalates further. What did you install on this machine so far? 🙏

  Bitchat is a decentralized protocol that enables communication without the internet or any intermediary. The system has no single point that can be compelled to log or hand over metadata. The Indian Government has directed GitHub to disable the repositories and the Android port. Some key things to note here: - Indian law can compel platforms to take down specific URLs that host certain information. - Indian law can restrict access from within its territory via intermediaries it can reach, but it is silent on how to extinguish distributed knowledge that already exists outside its effective control. - The law cannot extinguish physics and technology. - There is no single "owner" of open-source licensed code. - There seems to be no legal provision that criminalises the mere installation or local running of a Bluetooth mesh messaging application on one’s own phone. However, liability can arise if the app is used in the commission of a specific offence. - Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, which is largely unlicensed for low-power, short-range use.

  The AI Accountant (@Bsoutherland23) reported 59 minutes ago

  Skill 8 of 30: handoff-skill. Ever notice AI gets worse the longer a conversation runs? More hallucinations, sloppier answers, like it's forgetting what it already told you? Turns out there's a real reason for that: context windows get messy, and a fresh one genuinely thinks better. Once we noticed that the longer chats were hallucinating, I asked Claude how to fix it. Turns out this is a known problem with a known fix (anyone in the Codex or Claude Code crowd already knows this one). There's a bunch of versions floating around on GitHub (shoutout @michaelcutajar). We took the idea, made it our own, and rolled it out firmwide. What it actually does: feeling a chat get long? Just say "handoff." It writes a paste-ready doc, current state, key decisions, what's still open, and a first message for the next chat. Paste it into a new conversation and pick up right where you left off. Zero re-explaining. It's not as flashy as some of the other skills in this series, but it was educational for the team and one of our top used skills at the firm. If you run long conversations and have never tried this, give it a shot. See if you notice the difference. For me it was instant. 21 more to go!

  Jack might just killed Slack and/or Github. It's both these apps bundled in a local-first desktop app + has AI agents as a first class citizen. Security might be an issue though. Really wondering how this is going to play out long term.
