  Here's how to use ChatGPT Pro to code in Codex: 1. Connect GitHub to ChatGPT 2. Create a branch you want Pro to work on in *** 3. Ask ChatGPT Pro (Quick Chat) to make commits to fix a problem or UX flow 4. Wait 10-40 minutes and test the code 5. Have Codex triage any build failures if it doesn't work 6. Repeat This is slower, and more tedious, but it gets results when Sol Ultra gets stuck. The UX skills are superior in Pro.

  **Browser Privacy** Your browsing history can end up in the wrong hands & get leaked over the wire, destroying the very purpose of using a browser engine to search & curate highly consolidated results. --- It is then of paramount importance that end users start taking browser privacy seriously .. .. as failing to do so can lead to a total distrust of using internet services on the modern web to your own benefit. --- There must be stringent laws around browser privacy, involving invoking a class action lawsuit if the user feels endangered by their digital trail being monitored, stalked & used against them for any of the many nefarious reasons an attacker might choose .. .. be it leaking user browsing habits & patterns on the dark web or for public ridicule in their private forums and/or group chats formed to either defame, discredit & intiate a smear campaign against a targeted individual. >> Things of such nature tend to spiral up easily & lose control over time if steps are not taken in its infancy to circumvent them at the earliest sign of such acts being performed collectively. << A leaked browsing history can leak any & everything, from websites you visit, personal/private github handles, discord groups you join, blogs you read, youtube videos you watch .. .. twitter handles you stalk often, etc etc as they all merely function as links in the end on the world wide web. --- Another great option would simply be then to not have a google account tied to your chrome browser .. .. & rather choose to browse signlessly running in incognito mode for the safest & optimal browsing experience. --- A browser is the first digital gateway to get a glimpse of the wider internet, & if that itself compromises your anonymity & privacy when doing business or remote work .. .. then you are better off not partaking in that internet landscape which seeks to bind & confine you to the walls of the digital prison under the constant vigilance of your watchers & stalkers. ~~ Next topic in queue up for debate in relation to enhanced privacy consideration would be camera, microphone & location access granted by default .. .. to more than 70 percent of all the apps installed on any smart device at any given time. >> There was no ai use in my writing either to proofcheck or proofread for rewriting purposes. These are all my raw writings dumped down all at once as a constant chain of thoughts for the most authentic experience to readers. <<

  I suspect Cursor simply waited for the next (eventual) GitHub outage, and pushed all marketing buttons for Origin

  I was wrong, the @github outage was not AI related, just some sloppy dev ops and poorly managed scaling. Companies have been skimping on DevOps, expecting SWE to fill the gap - but specialist DevOps & DBA will always do better - ask @DraftKings

  @wickedguro the complaint data agrees: github api/downtime complaints went 0 → 5 mentions this week in our corpus. any platform dependency means their outage is your churn. at least github breaks in public

  @umar_who_code github is left spiraling down long before this mass use of agents and doesn't even have a ceo.

  @rauchg dang, your purpose was not to push origin to production, but was to make github down and brag about it lol

  GitHub was down for ~7 hours this week. An AWS region hiccuped again. And, like magic, the multi-cloud salesman showed up in a lot of meetings. Before anyone signs that contract, run one piece of math with me. A thread 🧵

  Flop Labs, the Arthur Hayes project, has one public repository. All twenty of its commits were co-authored by an AI, and the trailers name which model wrote what. Claude Opus 5 on all twenty. Codesmith on fourteen. Cursor Agent on two. The human is Sergey Vidyuk, a GitHub account registered in 2008, and he is credited as co-author on three of the twenty. This is the company whose entire pitch is that agents will pay each other for compute. Before there is a chain, a token or a whitepaper, the artifact it shipped is a chat server for agents, and the *** history says agents built it. What came out of those five days: a changelog that defines a breaking change as anything that breaks a machine parsing the text output, a 43 kilobyte design document, a security policy, an OpenAPI spec, and a manual served at one URL so a fetch-only agent can read the whole thing in a single request. That is more documentation discipline than most funded protocols manage in a year. Nobody announced this part. It is sitting in the commit log, and the trailers are three commands away for anyone who wants to check.

  @the_codewala The real answer isn't which alternative, it's whether your CI/CD and auth are actually decoupled from GitHub or just assumed to be. Most teams find out they weren't the first time it goes down.

  @behrendtio @cloneisjun The big one is the in ability to work with GitHub issues and something akin to routines. The usecase is now around having an orchestrator agent somewhere which triggers agents to work with issues/tickets. Doing anything like that with any other tools?

  Jensen Huang was building a $4 trillion company when Linus Torvalds raised a middle finger at it on camera and said “So Nvidia, **** you”. Helsinki, June 2012, Aalto University, no slides, a room full of students. A woman stands up with a laptop problem 2 graphics cards inside it, Intel and Nvidia, the Optimus chip, 2 years of it barely working on Linux until some GitHub project finally fixed it 6 months earlier. She’d asked Nvidia for help and Nvidia said no, flat out. Her question was polite: why can’t we be nice to each other, we’re playing in the same sandbox. 10 minutes earlier Linus had told that same room Android was hitting 900,000 activations a day, every one of them booting his kernel, and Jensen was selling Tegra chips into that exact market. He knew the number, he’d just said it out loud. He answers slow, calls it the exception rather than the rule, says some companies just don’t care and that’s life. Then he lifts his right hand. “Nvidia has been the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with. So Nvidia, **** you” The room laughs and the moderator leans in: “Making some friends there?” The clip was out of Finland by morning. 40 minutes later, same room, an engineer stands up and admits his team now works for Nvidia and they’re upstreaming Tegra support even though you gave me the finger, I still thank you. May 2022, Nvidia open-sources its GPU kernel modules. She never got her driver that day, he raised a finger and waited 10 years.

  So, this is a new one for me. Somehow my agents misunderstood my instructions, and then ran my entire budget of Github actions. Never did understand what they were trying to do. Had to shut it down after I got a notification from Github. Good thing I didn't have billing enabled.

  An 8-hour GitHub outage and Cursor ships its own *** hosting the same week. Every AI coding company is quietly concluding the same thing: if your agents live on someone else's infrastructure, their downtime is your downtime. Vertical integration is coming for dev tools.
