-
Joshua Sargent (@joshuasargent) reported@githubstatus another day, another GitHub Actions outage...
-
Mudkip 🎬 (@MudkipOnYT) reported@ReticentY2K It’s cool but still very early days, time trials ghosts don’t sync so while RWFC is down it’s quite pointless sadly, it also doesn’t support Wiimmfi in the base game. Issues are being raised and looked at on GitHub so I’m hopeful Patchzy will get it sorted, lots of potential.

Jesse Ezell (@jezell) reported@michaelbushe Often when github actions are down the remote runners don't work either. They also charge you to run your own runners. I'm starting to think local racks are the future.
-
Kevin Burton (@inputneuron) reported@github Maybe on your podcast you guys could discuss the MASSIVE problem you guys have with stability and downtime. You're DOWN AGAIN! I work at a co-working facility and OTHER COMPANIES are actively discussing migrating away from GitHub - in public!

⚡️ Kelvin Htat (@kelvinhtat) reported@FabianHedin can you please stop creating more slops in github? it keeps going down man.. c'mon.. others have work to do.

Ardi Gashi (@Ardsome) reportedUpdate: shipped v0.2.0. Single block ablation has a real blind spot: two pieces of context that are each harmless alone can still flip the decision together. Added a cheap screen for that, sample a few random subsets, and when one flips the decision, narrow down to the minimal responsible group instead of testing every possible pair. Also added a hard cap on real model calls per run, so cost is never a surprise. Both live now on npm and GitHub.

Andrew (@Tradesdontlie) reported@dyk_ceph i might be absolutely insane but i use github issues/epics/milestones as the source of truth for planning. i do want to get into semantic flame graphs for recursive agent memory…. but we will get there lol /goal pick up issue #420 or /goal finish milestone 6.9 it has 4 parents and 12 sub issues in said issue it would list out related issues parents in the milestone essentially what modules interfaces adapters seams to work with specifically, what we are trying to accomplish. include a codebase architecture design and philosophy (The concept of deep modules and easy-to-use interfaces in John Ousterhout’s book “A Philosophy of Software Design”) helps steer all the planning The philosophy helps what not to do and the end result of the milestone via vision .md and some mermaid graphs of what of the final product design should be shows the model what happens after we do everything what’s the end result we are trying to achieve A bunch of **** really. Do this, create real testing not bullshit nonsense, follow best practices, when CI passes at the end locally submit PR Let it rip the human in the loop is only needed in certain aspects. ideally i would find a way for an agent to delegate the milestone goals to other agents, have them talk back and forth a few times until they are aligned and boom it goes off does the thing and another review agent comes in and tests the actual application frontend. graph engineering is sick just haven’t fulllllly gotten there yet

Delali (@delali) reportedFor 7 hours and 47 minutes on 17 August you could not sign in, open a pull request, or run a build, and GitHub's chief technology officer published why. Monthly commits went from 1.4 billion in April to 2.9 billion in August. A component in the Central US data centre stopped scaling at that new peak, which took github[dot]com, authentication, Actions, the API, and Copilot down with it. I plan for my own service going down, although I had never planned for a working day without the host that stores my code. What did you do while Github was down?

Jose Pollman (@josepollman82) reportedA malicious GitHub issue hijacking a coding agent: GitHub's risk page says only users with write access can trigger it, and comments from anyone else never reach the agent. The documented injection defence is filtering hidden characters. Plain prose is not hidden.

Frooxius - frooxius.bsky.social (@Frooxius) reported@SweetHeartKnows Dude, that sounds more like you got an axe to grind. Sure there are issues, but you're being a bit extreme. We've been making a lot of imprints to these, that have been helping. If you got any suggestions, our GitHub is open.

Chris Dupres 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 (@blaktron) reported@github despite having months left on our enterprise agreement our github organization has been disabled for 2 days with no access to be able to get in and even see whats going on to fix it. We have put in multiple support tickets and heard nothing back. Please help.

Anil Singha🦖 (@0xAnil404) reportedGitHub Actions seems to be down or heavily delayed again. Workflows are stuck in the queue, and new tag-triggered runs aren’t starting. Anyone else seeing this right now? @githubstatus

starmex (@starmexxx) reportedelon musk grabbed the source code openai open-sourced by accident, rewrote it in rust over a weekend, and shipped it as a free coding agent that does everything $200/mo chatgpt pro does. why pay $200 to openai and $200 to claude when this runs for $8 the swarm above is one weekend of exactly that: thousands of agents pouring through four endpoints, three paid seats billing $1.80 a task while the free fork bills $0. musk co-founded openai, walked out, and when they left codex on github under a permissive license, he forked it, stamped grok on it, and gave it away what the free version does that the $200 seat charges for: the agent · openai's own engine -> it reads your repo, writes patches, runs your tests, and loops until they pass, exactly like codex -> because under the hood it is codex, just faster and free. you are paying $200 for the paid skin of a tool now sitting on github the license · apache-2.0, un-revocable -> free to use, free to fork, free to ship inside your own product with zero strings -> openai cannot pull it back. musk made sure the license is the kind that never expires the switch · one line, no new tools -> point it at any openai-compatible or claude-compatible endpoint, including an $8 kimi backend -> same terminal, same workflow, gpt-5.6 and opus 5 just quietly lose the seat the bill · $400 down to $8 -> chatgpt pro plus claude max is $400 a month. the free agent plus an $8 kimi key does the same daily work -> that is a 98% cut, built out of openai's own source code, handed to you by the guy suing them here is the part they will fight me on: openai did not lose this to a better model, they lost it to their own license and an enemy with a weekend free. the $200 was never the tool, it was the toll, and musk just put openai's own logo on the road around it drop your $400/mo ai stack to $8. the run above is openai's own agent, rewritten free, doing the job it bills $200 a month for. the full breakdown is in the article below

Kotte (@Gustafssonkotte) reportedThe fix went public three days before the theft. Nobody told the chains it was urgent. Cosmos EVM is a shared piece of code that lets a Cosmos chain run Ethereum-style contracts. Four networks imported it. None of them wrote the bug, and none of them could have found it by auditing their own code. On August 19 a patch appeared on GitHub. The notes said it contained important security fixes. It was not marked critical anywhere public, and the chains running that code got no private heads up. Three days later: - KiiChain: 148.3 million KII drained across 18 repeats, halted at block 9,355,723 - TAC: 2.98 billion tokens pulled from a staking contract, halted at block 24,671,475 - MANTRA and Nesa stopped early and lost nothing The stolen KII was worth over $9 million on paper. Dumped into a thin book it came back as $1.6 million. Stealing was the easy half. Today, four days after the drains, Cosmos Labs finally named versions. Anything running below v0.6.2 or v0.7.2 should halt and upgrade now. The same post asked chains to send in their security contacts if they had not already. That last line is the actual story. The team maintaining the module does not have a list of everyone running it. A fix published in the open reaches the attacker instantly and the operator maybe never. Still checking two things: how many live chains sit below those versions right now, and whether the Saga loss in January came through the same code path.

Mike Leiter (@MikeLeiterDev) reported@imh_habib Poor Copilot never gets the love! I will say that Github Copilot has some features I can miss on other harnesses, but that's almost exclusively related to VSCode integration, and we need to be moving more toward a chat interface with CLI in the background. Copilot 365 chat is absolute trash if you leave it on auto mode, but if your subscription allows you to choose GPT 5.6 in the drop-down, it's fine - maybe even good!
