I appreciate the unprecedented load GitHub is currently experiencing, but it's not just the (admittedly extreme) load of commits/pushes that is to blame.

Their Copilot cloud agent offering is suffering with a case of some of the worst corporate ADHD I've seen. We built a cloud agentic development pipeline on it, and it seems like almost every other week they silently change something with zero public announcement that creates real disruption for our team.

Note: that's not bugs in the Copilot platform like the article discusses. That's real, breaking changes to the platform that clearly aren't being tested/reviewed before being pushed to prod, with zero public announcement or documentation.

Support is useless – we're paying customers in the 4-5 figures and our tickets go unanswered.

I love(d) GitHub, but I do think they've lost enough public trust at this point that their time is ticking. With talk of new VCSes designed specifically for agents, I do believe it is just a matter of time. Which pains me somewhat to say.

It's a low power transflective LCD branded as e-paper, not e-ink. So it has none of e-inks downsides (namely low refresh rate and image persistence)

For that you probably want this, lol: https://cssdoom.wtf/

Not only this, but it's like Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign all mixed up into one super-app. This beats Adobe's cross-app functionality by miles.

I have a gorgeous Surface Pro 11 X1 Elite that can run just enough Linux to tease me with how beautiful it could be, but it's still unstable enough that I can't daily it.

Torture.

Anthropic being pissed enough to announce this means that, despite encrypting their reasoning chains, it doesn't matter – distillation lives on.

Sweeeeeeeet.

Cat and mouse measures like this rarely work forever.

Love the graphics, the 8-bit style of the people's portraits is really well done. Are those AI generated?

Really interesting project. Do you have a link to a writeup/paper?

Nice. I have a 3rd gen Echo Show 8 that's collecting dust and I direly wish I could sideload an actually useful UI onto it, but there aren't any methods of doing so yet.

Can't wait until Mythos is public so I can set it on pwning the damn thing.

They might not be able to scale it, and indeed they might indeed have to jack the prices. But vibe coding is here to stay. Maybe it'll recede for a few years while people figure out the scaling. But the Pandora's Box is opened and it ain't closing

Would you mind sharing a link to some of these casual games? I ask cuz I'm also interested in how vibe coding can make game development easier.

We had such a vibrant indie game scene when Adobe flash was about and since then nothing's really touched that level of ease of development. I think vibe coding is the first tool that actually exceeds it.

My phone IMMEDIATELY got toasty as I started moving around the world :')

My substantially more privileged, but somewhat equivalent experience, was doing mobile app development, Docker, linux VMs, UI design, and finding out about hacker news on an 11 inch MacBook Air with 4gb of RAM.

i have a computer that benchmarks literally 10x faster and with 32x the amount of RAM, but i miss that little thing that helped me build my career from nothing

Does publicly documenting and direct linking vulnerable AI agents (that have goodness-knows-how-much access to sensitive user data) for anyone to exploit feel like responsible disclosure?

This could really ruin some people's day. A private message left on their agents to tip people off that their agents are vulnerable feels a lot less destructive.

AI slop will collapse under its own weight without oversight. I really think we will need new frameworks to support AI-generated code. Engineers with high standards will be needed to build and maintain the tools and technologies so that AI-written code can thrive. It's not game over just yet

AFAIK he can do whatever he wants in space, but CSAM is still illegal to view or even download in most (all?) countries of the world. So unless the degenerates also move out into space (which I'm sure they're eager to do), it wouldn't really ease the legal situation here on Earth.

How much of this is the consequence of piracy? So many musicians use NI VSTs, but because of the expense they're pirating. What if they'd targeted the hobby musician more?

And which people?

Sure, but when I open X, it's literally all over my front page.

Is it me, or has every major operating system (macOS, iOS, Windows and now Android) variously shot itself in the foot in some spectacular way over the last year?

macOS and iOS 26 are the most unstable, unpolished operating systems I've used from Apple since the early 2000s. Windows has had a set of baffling bugs, like the crashing File Explorer – seemingly the result of overzealous layoffs in favour of AI development. And on Android, restrictions to APK installations and now this – which, yes, general consumers are unlikely to care all that much about – but it all signals something deeper going on in management across the board.

I can only hope the time for Linux-all-the-things is slowly but surely arising – even if it remains a minority, seeing Linux emerge from 1-2% market rate and becoming a usable alternative for most people would be fantastic.

> That’s like blaming a pen for writing something bad,” DogeDesigner opined.

Genuinely terrifying how Elon has a cadre of unpaid yes-men ready to justify his every action. DogeDesigner regularly sub tweets Elon agreeing to his latest dumb take of the day, and even seems to have based his entire identity on Elon's doge obsession.

I can't imagine how terrible that self imposed delusion feels deep down for either of them.

bump, tbh I think this is hyperbole as on my w11 pc the ctrl alt delete menu hasn't changed since 2021's RC (which was just a reskinned version of w10's, which was just a reskinned version of w8.1's... going all the way back to vista)

I've had it since the first macOS that shipped with my M1 Pro MacBook!

Arguably, the camera evolved painting because it expanded the idea of what it could be – that it could be more than the illustration of/"illusion" of reality.

I think and have always thought the exact same thing will happen with generative AI.

It's a really pretty, humanist font, and those tend to be my favourite fonts. I was never the biggest fan of the grotesk-style Roboto/Inter/Univers, especially in the context of a user interface, which should feel a little bit friendlier imo.

I use Avenir on my Samsung phone, which is also pretty nice. I like Circular, Proxima Nova and Frutiger too, but they are all very expensive.

This font is free, flexible and genuinely really nice to look at. It's a good day for font nerds like me.

you can't nerdsnipe me like that and NOT drop a link. :p

what's the channel?

I switched over to an Onyx Boox reader, so I don't have a Kindle anymore. But I definitely used the same project as you. I used a Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen. The linked project says it works with Kindle Touch, which is VERY old, so I don't think you're having network issues.

It's been a while, but I think I enabled SSH on my Kindle and set it up that way. I started Syncthing via KUAL, then used an SSH reverse proxy to configure Syncthing on my laptop.

It -was- kind of a pain, but once it was good, it was good!
