  @andrewqu A decrease? Quite the opposite. I suppose depends which services you are using. Github is down every couple of days, AWS has outages and bugs more than before.

  Well this is frustrating. @claudeai Opus 5 produced a complete client TDD/SOW from superseded local files after silently failing to access the GitHub source I'd pointed it at. Asked directly whether GitHub confirmed its analysis, it led with "Yes, it's reinforced" — answering from local files. It later conceded the disclosure was "subordinated to a confident yes." A tool failure was absorbed into confident output with no signal in the artifact. Only caught on manual review. Not a behavior I've seen from prior Opus versions, Fable 5, Sonnet, or GPT-5.5/5.6. This is the sort of thing that impacts my work in a material way, and requires that I avoid using a product entirely. Opus 5 smarter than Fable 5? No. Also, ask me if I have this problem with locally hosted GLM 5.2.... Nope... Dang it!! I was REALLY REALLY excited about the next release of Opus. Opus 4.8 been a VERY dependable workhorse of a model for me.

  GitHub has been sent an order by the India government to take down Bitchat. Per the documents submitted, the Bitchat "application enables anonymous communication without mandatory user registration, phone number verification, or centralized logging of communications." They further go on to state: "The technical architecture of the application significantly impedes interception, attribution, and investigation by law enforcement agencies."

  The Pragmatic Engineer (@Pragmatic_Eng) reported 5 minutes ago

  Why did spec-driven development never take off - the workflow tools like Amazon’s Kiro or GitHub Workspaces encouraged? @dexhorthy, founder of HumanLayer: “These projects have a really interesting idea: you maintain a set of specifications for your software, and then you maintain the code itself, and the dream is the coding part is just compiling specs into code. But that part never really materialized. I’m on a GitHub issue in spec kit that’s been open for a year, and every couple of weeks I get a new email on the thread of people complaining about the same problem: I edit my specs and then I edit the code, and the code drifts from the specs. How do I keep the specs up to date as the code is changing? You now have two sources of truth, and it stops being useful. That’s why with RPI (Research, Plan, Implement), the docs are tactical execution docs - I do the research, the plan, the implementation, and I throw the docs out. The next time I need research I just do it from scratch, because tokens are cheap and my time is expensive.”

  @jack I cannot find a documented example of github taking down repos permanently (without reversal) globally based on one nations laws that are not directly implementing an international obligation (ie DCMA). Not even for US law. This will be a regional block in India , I think.

  @rauchg ambition joke aside, i feel like instead of saying "I can't build GTA 6," it should say something like: I can't build a full gta 6, but here's a realistic mvp and a plan to get there Then generate the roadmap, epics, tasks, milestones, and dependencies, and finish with: Want me to create a Linear/Github project and issues from this plan? i feel like this would be more useful than those options it offered

  Bullish with CryptoKSA (@cryptowithKSA) reported 17 minutes ago

  India 🇮🇳 has reportedly ordered GitHub to take down Jack Dorsey's BitChat repositories. Citing concerns that its decentralised Bluetooth mesh architecture enables anonymous communication that's difficult for law enforcement to intercept or investigate. Notably, the order doesn't allege BitChat was used in a specific crime, but it argues the protocol itself poses a risk. Jack Dorsey responded: "The government of India does not like technologies like BitChat and wants it taken down."

  @DavidSKrueger @bvhughes It was reported by users. You see it all over the issues tab for codex on GitHub over the last 6mo. That sort of stuff just doesn’t get reported on, the story OpenAI ships is the one that gets attention. What we need is more competition.

  ' @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.

  @github 4 days of critical issues blocking a whole organization and ZERO responses. I've never experienced such poor customer service in my life. So much for the "Enterprise experience" (#4595051, #4597898, #4600973)

  Ex-GitHub engineer just showed how to train AI on your own code: "one agent is a demo. a loop of agents is a product. everyone is still stuck on the demo." In 30 minutes he shows exactly how he turned 77,000 dead Claude sessions into a loop of agents that fix their own mistakes and get smarter with every run. Beats any $500 course on agents I've seen. He also drops that Cursor just closed a $10M deal to sell user session data to SpaceX. You're already paying to generate the data, someone else is cashing in on it. Watch it, then read the guide on building loops below.

  4/ Read that again: the repo owner is a did:key, not an org GitHub can suspend. There is no Microsoft subsidiary to serve. No "comply in 3 hours" inbox. No jurisdiction to point a notice at. "Take it down" stops being a request anyone can fulfill.

  @Cointelegraph Same playbook China ran on Dorsey's Nostr app in 2023, now on Bitchat. Bluetooth mesh chat has zero central point to pressure, so a GitHub takedown mostly just slows the mirrors down.

  Three points about this article: 1. Watch the wording in this article carefully: it does *not* say that the agent scribbled down instructions on how to escape. The exact wording is: "instructions for how agents could free themselves from OpenAI's internal constraints". Presumably, if the instructions had laid out how a model could escape, the article would have literally said that. My guess is that the instructions were likely instead a Readme.MD describing how a monitoring system could be disconnected, based on what the agent had been able to "accomplish" earlier. See the next sentence: "Earlier tests of the models yielded cases in which monitoring systems had been disconnected." (Disconnecting a monitoring system certainly qualifies as "strange behavior", no doubt.) 2. The timing matters. For those just tuning in, the sequence of events was as follows: (a) an internal model being tested by OpenAI in or around early May exhibited concerning behavior (such as posting a PR to the NanoGPT GitHub when asked to share its results only on internal OpenAI Slack) (b) after this and other instances of potentially problematic behavior by the model, OpenAI paused internal deployment of the model for several weeks and developed new safeguards, which OpenAI judges to be very effective (c) the model was then redeployed internally with these new safeguards (d) the Hugging Face incident occurred when these safeguards were purposely disabled by OpenAI because the model was conducting a cybersecurity task The Reuters article does *not* make it clear whether the "strange behavior" described above took place before or after the safeguards were put in place. If it occurred before, it would be consistent with other problematic behavior by the model, which OpenAI has already disclosed (and which, as far as we know, the safeguards have mitigated). 3. OpenAI says there are "inaccuracies" in this article: "A spokeswoman ​said there were 'several inaccuracies' in Reuters' reporting but didn't respond when asked to describe them."

  @heyyyyyieeee That sounds like an awesome work-around on paper, but GitHub will quickly shut that down if you try to use it as a personal cloud drive. Repositories have a soft cap at 1 GB and a hard cap at 5 GB. If you push files larger than 100 MB, GitHub will outright block the push unless you set up *** LFS (Large File Storage). Free GitHub accounts only get 1 GB of *** LFS storage and 1 GB of bandwidth per month. Anything beyond that costs money. *** is designed for text and source code. Every time you change or re-upload media files, *** keeps historical copies, ballooning your repo size in minutes. GitHub's Acceptable Use Policy explicitly forbids using repositories as media hosting, backups, or general file storage. GitHub flags accounts displaying anomalous bandwidth/storage patterns. They will lock the repository, or worse, suspend your entire GitHub account meaning you risk losing all your code and personal files at once.

  Someone just dropped six claimed solutions to open Erdős problems on GitHub after five days with GPT-5.6 Sol. Shouqiao **** tried around 13 problems. Some Codex runs lasted 32 hours. He published the proofs, prompts and code, and says two already have Lean formalizations. They still need independent checking. Who exactly is supposed to review all of this if the next model can produce it even faster?

  For the average working person, opting out of digital tracking carries a heavy functional penalty. it can mean losing access to modern banking, digital ride-sharing, employment platforms, or social circles. India just ordered GitHub to take down Jack Dorsey's BitChat within three-hours. BitChat runs entirely over Bluetooth, no internet, no servers, no phone number needed. China already pulled BitChat from its App Store twice this year for the identical reason, protest coordination during Iran and elsewhere. India's citing public order and unlawful assembly risk under IT Rules. Well some have already started seeding it. You can shut down mobile data. You can't shut down two phones standing next to each other. #Privacyluxury

  Priyesh (@vkpriyesh) reported 55 minutes ago

  Indian government cut internet near jantar mantar because of the NEET protests, & protesters just moved to bitchat & kept talking. then someone had the brilliant idea to give github 3 hours to take down the repo. the repo. meanwhile the actual app was sitting on the app store and play store the whole time, fully downloadable, and nobody thought to ask apple or google anything. we attacked the source code of a mesh network that works over bluetooth. that’s like banning the recipe while the restaurant stays open. anyway, can’t wait for the next move. maybe we block chinese models on huggingface, maybe we start sending takedown notices to random repos. surely this is the road to AI supremacy.

  THIS IS INSANE. 🤯 India gave GitHub THREE HOURS to delete BitChat. By the time the deadline hit, the app was already back. On a network with no company to send the order to. Here's what happened: • India orders GitHub to remove BitChat, citing "unlawful communication" • GitHub has 3 hours to comply or face legal action • Within hours, a developer mirrors the entire codebase on Radicle • Radicle has no central server. No company. No CEO to subpoena. No app store to pressure. • The instructions go out: clone it, seed it, keep it alive • Every person who seeds it becomes another copy the government can't touch The part nobody's saying out loud: this is the exact scenario BitChat was built for. It runs on pure Bluetooth. No internet. No SIM. No phone number. It was already unkillable at the app layer, that's why protesters in Nepal, Iran, and Madagascar used it to route around government shutdowns. Now the SOURCE CODE is unkillable too. India didn't delete BitChat. It just handed the entire internet a live demo of why decentralized infrastructure exists. You can order a company to take something down. You can't order a network that isn't owned by anyone. Command to mirror it yourself is already public. People are seeding it right now.
