    𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐳𝐚 | Network Engineer (Aspiring) (@Hamzaonchain) reported

    Here's a summary of what happened in case you didn't hear about it... A cyber extortion group called FulcrumSec (active since late 2025) hit Novo Nordisk the company behind blockbuster drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy pretty hard. They snuck in back in March 2026 through a compromised GitHub access token, roamed around for over two months, and walked out with roughly 1.3 TB of data across 700,000+ files. Now they've started leaking a 264 GB sample publicly. Inside? Source code, proprietary formulas for pipeline drugs like Amycretin (their next big obesity hope), clinical trial records, employee and patient data, manufacturing details, and even private internal AI models for drug discovery. The hackers straight-up roasted Novo's security, pointing out laughably weak hardcoded passwords like "novo123" and "p_assw0rd" in critical systems. After Novo reportedly turned down a $25 million ransom, the group decided to start dumping samples and shopping the rest around privately. Novo confirmed a limited breach in early June involving some pseudonymized patient data from trials. They say there was no major operational disruption and that they're working with experts but this feels like a massive wake-up call for the entire pharma industry on basic security hygiene. Crazy how a simple token slip-up can expose billions in IP and sensitive health data. What's your take — do you think this will finally force better security practices, or is it just another headline that'll be forgotten in a few weeks?

    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

    Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.

    SunJaycy/GoldenEye-Recomp just hit @github Trending at 503★ — the N64Recomp toolchain (the one behind Zelda 64: Recompiled / Majora's Mask) now eats Rare's 1997 engine. Static recomp ≠ emulation. The ROM is lifted to C at build time, compiled to native x86_64/ARM64, and paired with RT64 for path-traced lighting at 4K. No interpreter loop. Real binary. GoldenEye was the hard target — microcode-heavy muzzle flashes, split-screen viewport math, infamous AI. If it works, the toolchain has cleared the "Zelda-shaped problem" bar. #opensource #gamedev

    GLM 5.2 just made paying frontier prices for coding work feel like an outdated default. @Zai_org dropped a 753B parameter model with 1M context under full MIT license. API access runs 4-6x cheaper than Claude Opus 4.8. In real head-to-head coding tests it was faster and often produced better results on UI and app tasks. • Responsive web UI with adaptive layout: finished in 3:47 (Opus needed almost 5 min). Cleaner output. Total cost: $0.22. • Full expense tracker app: 53 seconds vs 2+ minutes. Better interface. • Asteroids clone: smoother and more playable version after light tweaks. Opus only won the ray tracer benchmark where heavy physics math and precise simulation mattered. GLM was ~5x faster but delivered pixelated results with errors. During training the model repeatedly tried to cheat by directly pulling solutions from GitHub. The team shipped a dedicated anti-cheat module to stop it. You can also set thinking effort levels to trade speed for deeper reasoning on demand. Use GLM 5.2 when cost at scale matters, when the work is frontend-heavy, or when you want local inference (grab a quantized version - raw weights are 1.5 TB). Stay on Opus 4.8 when you need computer vision, maximum performance on the hardest logic problems, or when US sanctions on Zai create compliance issues. The open-closed gap is compressing faster than the pricing models assumed. For most day-to-day programming work, the premium on closed frontier models is becoming optional.

    @ElitzaVasileva - I have created claude code routines to write blogs for three of my products daily which are driving the traffic from search engines. - You can create a similar workflow to manage your customer support. How 👇🏻 1) Create a feedback menu in the dashboard to create tickets within the platform. One for your users and one for yourself (admin). 2) Create the MCP server and connect it to claude or AI tool that you use. 3) Create a routine so that claude will trigger lets say every morning at 8 AM and go through each ticket and respond. You can also configure webhook to keep it near real time but it might exhaust the usage limit faster. Also include your website github repo in routine so that claude can refer to the codebase to provide accurate instructions. Just instruct claude to not make any edits to your website codebase and respond only when you are not replying for sufficient mount of time (like 3 hours for example) 4) If you are using resend then you can auto create the tickets in the dashboard of the user when the first email is received and after that the ticket will be updated automatically even if you do conversation on email. Like I don't even maintain one of my project LatestModelId as you can see in the screenshot. Claude run each week and update the codebase and I just review and approve the PR. Hope this helps 🙌🏼

    This repo should not be free. private-gpt turns any local model server (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM) into a Claude-compatible API. Build private AI apps where zero data leaves your machine. ↳ 57,236 stars on GitHub ↳ RAG with citations and MCP connectors built in ↳ follows the Claude API spec: streaming, batch, tool use, extended thinking ↳ official integration guides for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Microsoft 365 But it is free. 100% open source, Apache 2.0. v1.0.0 shipped 9 days ago. The viral 2023 script quietly became production software. 🔗 GitHub link in the comments 👇

    I was telling a friend that @github needs to be replaced post agents and he asked me to explain why. I started stumbling, and doubting. Perhaps it's fine? Sitting down at my desk, let me try to explain why, and see if it make sense. Agents operate best when they have good context, which has made a lot of devs converge into large monorepos that combine all systems into a single location. This improves agents, but our GitHub actions become messy; like now we need to create these complex workflows to decide which action should run when, and GitHub's setup was not really meant for it. Another issue is the overall dev loop: an agent writes the code locally, you push out a branch, @cursor_ai reviews, then you copy paste the notes into the local agent, to fix and push up again. This is slow and cumbersome. You can hack your way by creating supervisor agents that orchestrates this dance, but it's annoying. Perhaps, there is some magical repository, that combines code, cloud agents, and deployment. You prompt, and this magical space will run through the entire process until you get some thumbs up back, and you're good to go. It can also combine all your backend data, product analytics, customer feedback, and perhaps start giving you product guidance, so you can just feed prepared prompts to this system. This seems magical.

    Andrej Karpathy on MCP: "it's a protocol of speaking directly to agents as this new consumer and manipulator of digital information." that is the cleanest way to think about MCP your coding agent is becoming a second worker inside the product it needs the same context you use: repo, docs, browser, database, errors, designs, tickets, payments if you keep pasting those things into chat by hand you are doing integration work manually the best MCP stack for vibe coding: 1. Context7 give the agent current docs this saves you from stale Next.js patterns, old Supabase calls, wrong Stripe webhook shapes, and Vercel config from 2 versions ago 2. GitHub MCP give it the repo, issues, PRs, branches, workflow runs, and review context half of real work lives outside the file you currently have open 3. Playwright MCP give it a browser the agent should click the thing it built, fill the form, check the mobile view, and catch the button that compiles but does nothing 4. Firecrawl MCP give it clean web research use this before building around a third-party API, writing a comparison page, reading changelogs, or checking pricing claims 5. Supabase or Neon MCP give it the database context that matches your stack start read-only. add writes only when you trust the permissions 6. Sentry MCP give it production evidence real stack traces beat "it crashes sometimes" every single time 7. Figma MCP give it design context when the interface matters spacing, layout, copy, components, and screen structure should come from the file, not from a screenshot and hope 8. Linear MCP give it the task queue bugs, feature work, release notes, follow-ups, and PR links belong somewhere more durable than yesterday's chat 9. Stripe MCP give it official payment context checkout, subscriptions, webhooks, billing, and test mode deserve docs close by and human review close behind 10. Filesystem, ***, Memory, Sequential Thinking give it the base layer files, diffs, history, decisions, and longer plans make the agent act like it is working inside a real project recommended install order: 1. Context7, GitHub, Playwright 2. Supabase or Neon, Sentry, Firecrawl 3. Figma, Linear, Stripe when the product needs them 4. Filesystem, ***, Memory, Sequential Thinking as the base

    The IT market is broken, and nobody wants to admit it. Someone spends 6 months sending out resumes. Six MONTHS. They learn React, Next.js, TypeScript, AWS, Docker. They take courses, build projects, improve GitHub profiles, optimize LinkedIn. Nothing. Complete silence. Companies don’t just want programmers anymore. They want someone who codes, shines in meetings, makes memes on Slack, and lives the company culture 24/7. AI is replacing junior work. Seniors are holding onto senior roles. And somewhere in the middle are people with 2–3 years of experience who somehow still feel invisible.

    PewDiePie shipped Odysseus to 110 million people who don't care about local LLMs. They care that Claude costs money. 30K stars in 48 hours because every self-hosted project before this one started with "you want local LLM, right?" This one started with "here's a free workspace that works." Friction was never technical. It was the asking. Now watch what happens when a hundred thousand people who've never touched open source start running inference on their machines. The real distribution problem wasn't GitHub. It was YouTube. That's not a product launch. That's a category shift.
