@github @GitHubCommunity See my tickets pls too... WTF did it banned? I was doing legit open source activities! Anyone at GitHub help me.
Ticket ID: 4842172
Whelp I got banned on @github randomly with 0 warning or explanation after 15+ years. Not a repo taken down, my entire account removed. 100s of repos, deploys, and logins. Decades of history at various org’s. Gone.
Support ticket filed, but 2 days later no response, and no reason why… 😭😭😭
On the off chance any of my followers work at GitHub, any chance you could help escalate this support ticket, thanks 🙏

Only info I have is an automated sweep marked my account as maybe violating the terms, and requires manual review. Which I don’t think I did? But if I did on accident, I’m happy to fix & remedy any way I can.
I dont understand why they wouldn’t pull down a single repo if there was an issue. I just want my account back. I have literal years of my life and work saved there. This sucks. Trust broken.

Our team worked with OpenCode to have their users who are also OpenAI API customers back in business and any credits refunded which would have been drawn in the attack.
Also, you can request Daybreak Blue access to use our cyber permissive setup for defense. Do not wait until you have to deal with an incident. We’re here to help.

Saying software is dead because anyone can build it is like saying photography is dead now that everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket
Not only is it not dead it's the beginning of the Kodak Brownie moment for software, and we will see an absolute explosion of it
It will be the first generation for who building software will feel no different than using it. This is crazy!
The quality and bar of what we expect from our everyday apps will be raised dramatically, we'll have personal software, we'll have disposable software, and agents will be the foundation for most of it
Tech has always been chaotic and evolving, the people who have been able to adapt and move in front of new opportunities have always excelled, this is nothing new, I'm seeing it now and we'll see it 10 years from now
Find the opportunities in the chaose and disruption, there are countless of them

Saying software is dead because everyone can create it with agents is like saying movies are dead because billions of ppl have a high res video camera in their pockets
Movies doing better than ever+more ppl make a living from videos, movies, TV than ever
(Analogy from @simonw)

A good buddy of mine did his PhD on this and now works on WiFi spatial mapping at a big tech company and It’s way more accurate than you’d imagine. You can map an entire college campus in real-time like Batman just with WiFi. Crazy stuff
breathing is enough to give you away
each breath slightly changes how Wi-Fi waves reflect off your chest. with the right receiver and processing, those tiny changes can reveal your breathing rhythm
the graphs in this animation use real WiRe-Breath recordings: orange is the rhythm extracted from Wi-Fi, gray is a reference breathing sensor
i broke down how this works, and what else you can pull out of the radio waves around you, in the article below ↓

This evening I sat across from the CEO of a so-called trading neo lab with over $1B val. He told me their models—built on best-in-class RL environments and online learning algorithms—have produced exceptional pnl and sharpe ratios.
I later learned that the company is, in fact, a data broker LARPing as a frontier lab. Its actual edge is trading stocks and options on insider information of model releases and synthetic-data acquisitions.
It appears I have once again materially underestimated the absurdity of this industry.

Some very large fund is clearly getting liquidated here, hence no dead cat bounce / bottom appearing as usual.
You don't wipe out 2 trillion in market cap because Anthropic's ARR was 10% below expectations. CRWV, CBRS, SMCI hit hard while Infosys bottomed Oct, 6... Jane Street?

one of the amusing things about AI is that infra and security spent a decade getting everyone off long-lived static API keys and onto short-lived tokens
then OPENAI_API_KEY happened and we collectively forgot all of it
I get that managed identity and OAuth are harder but we really did speedrun back to secrets in .env

Progress of AI in finance, from someone using it every day in an investment seat
March 2026: “AI is kind of like an intern. It takes some tedious tasks off my plate but always need to check its work. Things are often pretty wrong”
June 2026: “Wow, it is more like an analyst now. It can do things with decent accuracy, but needs a lot of detailed instructions. It still hallucinates every now and then”
October 2026: “AI is doing almost all of my excel modeling and grunt work. I feed it assumptions and instructions, but it can get 80% of the way there by itself without needing any special prompts. I can ask it to be creative with the analysis it puts together, and it does a pretty good job”
The change of pace has been incredible to watch

To create my claude.md, I had it read:
- my favorite programming books + blogs
- the best oss projects
- the code of the engineers I respect the most
Claude (when given proper instructions, constraints, and context) now writes better code than me, almost always.
the coding agent haters are getting dunning-kruger'd so hard right now
do you really think that your engineering ability is better than the models at this point?
it is very very likely that fable is better than you in every branch of software
it has been trained on all the code of the internet, it knows almost every trick in the book, all the design patterns of every domain, every single low-level detail, every bit-twiddling hack, it's read every single blog post from every cracked engineer that ever existed
do you really think you can beat it? do you really think you can be more creative than it?
unless you are 99th percentile expert in some niche domain of software, it simply is not possible. sorry.

I mean, it’s fine - we’ve built an entire scientific superstructure based on research papers that no one had read.

Mathematicians, the Programming Languages community can sympathize. PL researchers used to propose new languages one by one, paper by paper. Then, in 2022, someone just dropped "The next 7000 programming languages" (dl.acm.org/doi/10.1007/978-3…). They're still understanding them...
We want to support the mathematics community in turning progress in AI into deeper human understanding and new discoveries. To support that goal, we are contributing $5 million to a new Simons Foundation initiative to help mathematicians examine, understand, and build on results produced by AI, including the results we recently published.
The funding, managed and awarded by the @SimonsFdn will support workshops, conferences, and special programs. We will also provide access to our models and computing resources to Simons Foundation-supported researchers.

Mathematicians complained so much that they got UBI.
there’s a lesson in here

Anthropic released their 2021 research roadmap earlier this year (because of copyright litigation); I think some people might find it interesting: i.sm4.ca/concise-research-ro…

super interesting to see anthropic's roadmap in 2021, i think they were very early in everything related to RL/tool use
for the pre-training part, they mention "periodic batched backprop" and "skeletokenization" which might correspond to these two papers
arxiv.org/abs/1711.10563
