    The way the SSH protocol works is that if the server is unhappy with a client authentication method inquiry, it should reject it with SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE so the client can try the next one. Here, GitHub sends SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT merely because my client “knows” an old key! 🖕

    You upload a PDF. Claude reads it. Great answer. Close the tab. Tomorrow you upload the same PDF. Same tokens. Same cost. Zero memory. 41,000 developers just realized they have been doing this on repeat. The fix came from Karpathy's GitHub gist and it is embarrassingly simple. Raw documents are source code. A wiki is the compiled product. You do not recompile a program every time you run it. So stop making AI reprocess your files every session. Let it read once. Extract, structure, interlink into clean wiki pages. Then only query the wiki. One time cost, permanent knowledge. That graph is what it looks like after a few months. Dense clusters of connected knowledge in the center. Scattered dots around them, raw notes waiting to be pulled in. Built by Claude, unprompted. Week 1 feels underwhelming. By month 2 you stop googling things you already know. You ask your vault. It answers in 2 seconds with sources. You have been using AI at 5%. This is what the other 95% looks like.

    Im setting up my XPR testnet node, but how can i contact for permission if i cannot use telegram? i only have laptops and servers, no smartphone and telegram forces smartphone to use it. XPR Github says: "Before you register on Testnet you will need to get permission for regprod, you can copy this msig (login with WebAuth or use cleos). To register as Block Producer, run command and visit the testnet telegram channel above" @protonnz @XPRNetwork @MetallicusTDBN

    I covered in the last Ipê News how India gave GitHub three hours to block Bitchat’s main code repository, Android repository and APK download page. This happened while mobile data kept being shut down around student protests near Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Bitchat was built by @jack and other contributors for situations like this. Nearby phones create a Bluetooth mesh and pass messages from one device to another across up to seven hops. It doesn’t need an account, phone number, internet connection or central server. Private messages are end-to-end encrypted. The code is public domain. As of July 28, the main repository had about 32,800 stars and 5,100 forks. Decentralization and encryption are still two of the best tools for pushing back against state power and coordinating from the bottom up.

    @bentlegen I have, here's one where it wants to push a fix upstream without it even asking me. In a previous case, I only realized it after it said it was blocked by github after it tried I think we'll need to start adding "refuse this rationalization" scope checks

    Here is how an SF Engineer codes. Yassin Kortam ships 27 PRs a day. He says: “My biggest bottleneck wasn't coding. It was prompting. So I systematically removed the need to prompt and built agent loops that run my workflows for me. 1. Stop copy-pasting context. I connected Claude directly to Linear, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and Gmail. Almost everything I used to paste into a prompt is something the agent can retrieve itself. 2. Turn your workflow into a skill. Mine takes a Linear ticket end to end: reproduce the bug, root-cause it, fix it, record video and screenshots as proof, chase CI, then request review in Slack. I invoke it once instead of re-describing the same process. 3. Use agent teams. Agents spin up their own subagents and split the work, so one ticket gets handled in parallel instead of in sequence. 4. Run one terminal tab per ticket, each with its own team on its own issue. My day is now reviewing and unblocking instead of typing.” …. I love seeing my friends cooking both on the 5mile runs and also in engineering.

    A Year of Work on SolOnChain, Ended in a Discord Message Yesterday at 17:35, a year of work ended in a paragraph. No call beforehand. No "we need to talk." Just a message saying they'd decided to move to a new development team, that it made the most sense financially, and that they wouldn't be needing us on the platform anymore. Thanks for everything, best of luck. I'd spoken to them two days earlier. Nothing came up. I'm writing this because I've been a developer in this space long enough to know how common this is, and how rarely anyone says it out loud. What we built Myself and my co-dev at Bytez 3 built SolOnChain, the NFT launchpad and marketplace on Solana. The launchpad, the marketplace, the infrastructure underneath it. We were paid for the initial build, and that was the honest scope of the agreement. We didn't stop there. We kept adding, kept fixing, kept shipping features that were never on any invoice. Not because we were naive about it. We'd discussed a long-term partnership, and we were building toward that. When you think you're in something for the long haul, you don't nickel-and-dime the roadmap. You make the product good and you trust the relationship to make it worth it. That's the part I want other devs to sit with. The extra work wasn't charity. It was an investment in an arrangement we thought we had. The wind-down When the engagement ended, we did what you do: we disconnected our GitHub account from the SolOnChain Railway project and removed the DDoS protection that had been running through our licensed enterprise account. That protection was ours, paid for by us, and it isn't something we can leave running for a client we no longer work with. Their new team will need to set it up themselves, and we told them so directly rather than letting them find out when something fell over. We also offered a dated handover document confirming that any future updates to SolOnChain aren't affiliated with Bytes 3. That matters for both sides. If someone else is maintaining it now, our name shouldn't be attached to what happens next. I want to be clear that we haven't torched anything. There was a moment yesterday where going open source with the codebase got mentioned in frustration, and we thought better of it. That's not who we are and it's not how you end things. The part that actually stings It was never really about the money. We'd had the financial conversations before, more than once, and we'd been understanding about them. We'd had fall-outs too, over money, over stress, over the ordinary friction of a project this size. That's normal. Anyone who's shipped something real has had those weeks. What I didn't expect was to find out we were finished by reading it, at the same time as everyone else, with no conversation first. A five-minute call beforehand would have cost nothing. It would have let us wind down properly, hand over cleanly, and part on genuinely good terms. Instead the first thing anyone said after the announcement was "wait, where has this come from?" That's the whole complaint. Not the decision. That was their business and their call. The way it was delivered. What I'd tell any dev reading this Put the partnership in writing, not just in the conversation. A long-term arrangement everyone verbally agreed to is worth exactly nothing on the day someone changes their mind. If it's real, it's on paper. If it's not on paper, price your work as though the relationship ends tomorrow, because it might. Settle ownership before you write a line of code. Who owns the repo, the deployments, the domains, the credentials. Not because you expect a fight, but because the absence of an answer is the fight. Every one of these disputes I've seen comes down to two parties who each sincerely believed they owned the thing. Separate your infrastructure from theirs from day one. If your licensed accounts are load-bearing for their production environment, you've created a mess that will land on you at exactly the worst moment. Bill the extra work, or accept it as a gift. Those are the only two honest options. "I'll sort it out later on the strength of the relationship" is not a third one, and I say that as someone who chose it. Have the exit conversation early, while everyone still likes each other. Notice periods, handover terms, what happens to outstanding balances. Nobody wants to raise it during the honeymoon. Raise it anyway. Where I'm at I'm proud of what we built. That doesn't change. SolOnChain is a strong platform, we're better engineers than we were twelve months ago, and I'd back that codebase against anything comparable in the space. I hope it does well. I mean that. I've named the project because it's the project, and anyone who's used it deserves to know who was behind it. I haven't named individuals, and I'm not going to. This is about how a business decision was handled, not about people. I'm not writing this to burn a bridge. I'm writing it because devs in this industry talk endlessly about launches and almost never about this: the ordinary, unglamorous way a year of work can end in an afternoon with no conversation attached to it. It happens constantly. It should be said out loud more often. To anyone in the SolOnChain community who enjoyed using something we made: thank you. That was the point. That was always the point. And if you've had this happen to you: you're not being precious for feeling it. You built something. Of course it lands hard. Bytes 3

    @thsottiaux Also need to fire probably 80% of codex team they move slow as molasses and don’t actually do any work and old dude on the github is a jerk to everyone (not me but 80% of issues or post he responds to he is a jerk and like “this isn’t a bug” and then like 5 more people commenting yes it is… dudes a dinosaur).

    @thsottiaux In my usage, more often codex forgets it has plugins that I've installed. It keeps asking me to login on CLI (be it supabase, github, vercel in my case). I have to tell it to make use of installed plugins most times.

    GitHub showed how to fix old code in the Copilot app in a "stack" — several AI sessions and pull requests layered on each other so the edits don't tangle. Great tech for clearing legacy in 5 threads instead of one — now your code rots in every branch at once.

    You don't have an ambition problem. You have a receipts problem. I built an AI co-founder that locks three priorities at 7:30 AM and verifies them at 8:30 PM against what GitHub, Slack, Linear, and your stack actually saw. No journaling. First 200 founders in.

  • MarMarLabs
    MarMar Labs (@MarMarLabs) reported

    Your code reviewer can now read your issue tracker and your docs. It still can't write to any of them. That asymmetry is the real lesson here. GitHub made agent skills and MCP generally available in Copilot code review on July 29, for Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise. What I'd actually pay attention to: "All MCP tool calls performed by Copilot code review will be limited to read-only." The thing that judges your code gets context but no write path. That's a deliberate blast radius, and honestly more agent systems should be built this way. Skills are just files in your repo — .github/skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Your review standards stop living in someone's prompt and start living in version control, where they get reviewed like any other code. Comments also get labeled now when they came from a skill or MCP context. So you can tell whether a finding is grounded in your standards or is just the model's prior. That's the part that makes disagreeing with a review possible. Then there's the thing to check today: "Any MCP configurations you've already set up for Copilot cloud agent automatically apply to Copilot code review," and GitHub and Playwright MCP are on by default. Your reviewer may have inherited a context surface you configured for a different agent and never looked at again. Steal the pattern even if you never touch Copilot: the agent that judges your work shouldn't share a write path with the agent that ships it.

    Someone open-sourced a tool that runs a 744B model on a machine with 25GB of RAM. Colibri streams the experts of GLM-5.2 (744B MoE) straight off your NVMe SSD, keeps the dense layers in memory, and only pulls the few experts each token actually needs. Pure C, plus a live atlas of all 21,504 experts. The catch: it's slow - think ~1 token/sec on strong consumer hardware. Not a Claude replacement. But "you need a datacenter for frontier models" just stopped being strictly true. Free on GitHub, full walkthrough below.

    @github Stacked PRs solve a real human problem: reviewers can reason about 300 lines, not 3,000. The hard part is keeping the stack current when main moves and lower branches change. If GitHub nails rebasing and CI context, this could meaningfully improve review quality.

    Github stacked PRs have a dangerous bug: CI only runs against the contents of the top most PR in the stack. A bottom PR can be broken but a top PR with unrelated changes can still make the entire stack appear green.

    there were two minor issues, found by the debugger of visual studio. i integrated the free version of github copilot in studio and let it debug. it corrected the code after questioning me about program behaviour. coding and debugging are nowadays almost completely agentic.
