  The "just build projects" advice everyone's parroting is creating a generation of students who work for free and still don't get hired A final-year student called me last week spiraling after 450 applications. Turns out he had six side projects, three with actual users, all documented perfectly on his GitHub. Still got 4 replies. All of them asked him to do a take-home assignment that looked suspiciously like spec work for their actual product roadmap. He thought he was doing everything right because every LinkedIn guru told him projects beat degrees. Nobody mentioned that flooding the market with free builders just taught companies they can get free labor before even starting the interview. I've watched this play out across 50+ hiring processes in the last year. The kids with portfolios aren't getting hired faster. They're getting lowballed harder because companies know they're desperate enough to have already worked for free. The ones actually landing offers aren't the ones with the most projects. They're the ones who built something that got traction, realized they had leverage, and walked away from any company that tried to undervalue them. Most students are optimizing for quantity of proof when the market already moved to rewarding the one person who had proof people actually wanted what they made. Every unemployed student with a stacked GitHub is competing against every other unemployed student with a stacked GitHub. The portfolio stopped being the differentiator the minute it became the baseline. If you've already got projects and you're still getting ghosted, the problem isn't that you haven't built enough. It's that you're applying to companies as a supplicant instead of someone they'd be lucky to get.

  @polidemitolog The idea of a national open source repository is actually interesting, and the EU should definitely take that idea. There's been quite a few cases where Github and others have taken down repos with no notice and no appeal.

Now it checks for updates itself and tells you what's new before you click. The same goes for skills. You search a keyword and a whole library pops up. It scans each one for anything sketchy before you ever install it. One click adds a new skill. Your agent learns a trick it never had. → It updates itself, no commands → Search and install skills in seconds → A safety scan checks before you add one → A strong model is free inside it right now This guy gave his AI a new skill in seconds instead of hunting GitHub for an hour. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

  HOW TO TURN OFF AI CENSORSHIP WITH ONE COMMAND A GitHub repo called Heretic says it can weaken the refusal direction inside a transformer instead of retraining the whole model On Gemma 3 12B, the repo claims: > harmful prompts: 97 refusals out of 100 before > harmful prompts: 3 refusals out of 100 after > harmless outputs stayed close to the original model > the optimization runs automatically the weird part is the mechanism the walkthrough shows the repo, the terminal output, the comparison table, the plots, and the layer math behind it it doesn't look like a new model it looks like the old one with one important layer turned down that is the part to watch before you reduce it to a jailbreak headline

  @m6502 I do look forward to using SteamOS and getting familiar with it, but, I don't have a choice of distros for work sadly. I use an older Ubuntu for my own gitlab server (for the past ten years!) but I have no interest in touching it until I finish my game. Don't trust github.

  @Scobleizer yea large corporation issues... but google / apple at least seem to be making some reasonable progress? and how did github get so bad? i feel like it's really perfectly positioned given the strongest usecase for ai today is coding. but it basically got *worse*...

  GitHub went down for ~70 minutes yesterday. Interestingly, the root cause was not a database (the usual suspect), but an auth was returning 401s. Although outages are not good, we as engineers can learn a thing or two from them. Here's a quick dissection... So, about 15% of API traffic started getting "Unauthorized" responses for requests that were perfectly valid. The credentials were fine. But the 'infra' was lying. Here is the part that makes this interesting. Every well-behaved HTTP client reauths when it receives 401. So thousands of apps did exactly what they were supposed to do - and that made things worse. Every client getting a false 401 (root cause for 401 not mentioned yet) kicked off a token refresh, which piled more load onto an already struggling auth layer. Here is my key takeaway... When a 401 comes back, we typically reauthenticate, and we should. But if we get 10 consecutive 401s on a token that was just refreshed, reauthenticating again is not the answer. That is a circuit-breaker moment - back off, raise an alert, and stop hammering the system. Retrying blindly in an auth-failure loop could turn an incident into a full outage. So, this is something you can account for when building your next system :) Hope this helps.

  GitHub Copilot SDK lets you embed Copilot Agent directly into your own apps and services. @PhalaNetwork took that and did something worth paying attention to. They built a deployment template that runs the Copilot Agent inside a TEE CVM, which means your repo context, your prompts, and the agent’s execution state never leave a protected environment. Nobody, not the infrastructure provider, not Phala, can see what’s happening inside that compute environment. That’s the core thing Phala keeps demonstrating across different integrations, whether it’s AI inference, agent frameworks, or now Copilot, they keep showing up with actual deployable infrastructure that solves a real problem rather than just talking about confidential compute in theory. Check the second thread below so you can deploy it today

  3 things that will move you faster than any course: 1. Build a real API with auth, db, and error handling from scratch 2. Read production code on GitHub, not just tutorials 3. Debug without searching for 30 minutes before you open Stack Overflow These habits separate junior from mid-level.

  Claude code Fable 5 (desktop app) one-shotted my OpenClaw update... impressed. I tried updating OpenClaw this morning from a mid-may version to the last stable release. of course, gateway log full of edge case errors, nothing connects, context overflows, gateway crash loops etc. I gave a /goal command to Fable 5 and it worked for 1 hour and only used 2% of my weekly limit but got OpenClaw working again very smoothly. It reconnected lossless-claw, re-wrote some cron jobs, restored proper runtime config, migrated me from blue bubbles, and made sure everything was back up and working. It even gave me suggestions on how to redesign my skins and told me 10 things to stop doing after reading 2 months of my Opik logs. It only asked me 3 questions along the way. This was the prompt I gave it: "/goal get my OpenClaw agent operating smoothly as desired. My OpenClaw started acting really strange today after we upgraded. The gateway starts and stops, some plugins don't seem to be working anymore (lossless-claw, bluebubbles) and the agent isn't responding on telegram. before the update cron jobs were failing and I was getting errors. The resources you have to learn about me and this desired openclaw state: opik logs, the gateway logs, 3 months of chat logs, my openclaw workspace with the playbooks, SOPs. My master prompt, my wiki with the blueprint of how I want things to work. I hacked together a lot of cron jobs & non-canonical skills. I'm not sure what parts of the probelm are things I've created and what parts are flaws with openclaw. I would love for you to understand how I desire the openclaw to work, then look online to see how others are getting their OpenClaw agents to do so much, and then compare to the github/source docs and figure out what I'm doing wrong, and what is misconfigured / logically bad / incompatible compared to the way openclaw is supposed to work. Please diagnose the problem and fix the problem without being too destructive. I don't want you to do something like just deleting all the chat logs, sessions, general files on the computer without asking me - you can use your advanced logic to decide what is reasonable after you learn about me and my desires for this openclaw agent setup. Please also give me a list of things I'm doing wrong that is contributing to creating the chaos. Ask me any questions where you're unsure and want input."

  "So, I feel like every time that I have this sense that I'm special in some way, I'm often proven wrong. Right now, with current model capability, something that people talk a lot about is how the "alpha" is product taste. I think this is also going to go away. This is the alpha today, but right now I have a couple hundred agents running doing stuff, and a bunch of them are looking at Twitter feedback, GitHub issues, and Slack to figure out what to build next. Right now most of the ideas are bad, but maybe 20% are good. If you wait for the next model and project out maybe three to six months, most ideas will probably be good. There's going to be some new thing that erodes." — @bcherny 2026-06-02

  @zigmoo Eh. I didn't expect to see the day I'd agree with that stance. I have been a GitHub user for years and have advocated for it countless times. But after seeing so many issues, and technical problems that shouldn't exist on a platform of this scale (e.g. slow loading and sluggish issues/PRs), it is getting harder to defend. Things have to be snappy, there is no excuse.

  My framework is blacklisted by Fable 5 even in Incognito mode I have been trying several ways to try to understand the filter/downgrade. Usually moving to incognito lets me start the conversation. But i noticed once it started parsing my framework fetching from Github or docs sites, it shut me down. But i wasn't 100% sure if it was the topic or the framework. Now in incognito it actually shuts down on first attempt 'dda scaffold by snakewizardd' in incognito is blacklisted. Reproduced twice back to back
