Thank goodness. Theming mermaid and using it server side is such a nightmare. I had many issues trying to get it to work competently with CSS variables for dark mode / light dark. This seems way better.

Whenever I read FSF complaints I always feel like an idealistic out of touch person is writing them. There are many walled gardens that try to keep you in but GitHub is really not bad compared to most of them. It’s quite easy to move to another git provider. It’s generally free and has no ads. It offers free compute to projects in their workflows. It supports discussions in a much more readable format than email.

Yes there is telemetry and perhaps they could make you run really malicious code. If they did so, their market value would tank and no one would use it anymore, so they won’t.

If you want to block telemetry in the browser you can trivially. I don’t know why fsf makes a big deal of needing to install an extension for that. It feels like they’re entitled idealists who have been completely left out of modern software.

Can’t tell if this is satire or just a vibe coded landing page. I really hope this is not a VC backed company.

You do know the modern smartphone is the most technologically advanced consumer good that has ever existed? Like at no point in history has there ever been something so small, complex and intricate in the hands of so many people. The new iPhone is going to be very expensive - it’s a luxury item and marketed like that.

They can definitely make phones for $300 and you can buy a smartphone that is more powerful than the original iPhone for $50. It probably will be a bit slow running modern apps but it may possibly still be workable for a while.

If you can’t take the time to write an actual introduction for your library and instead delegate it to AI, why would anyone take the time to try your library out and see if it’s useful? I understand using AI to document but for the front page of your programming project it should be hand written. Maybe with some AI assistance for grammar.

I worry there will be another retraction on this post since it seems like a miscommunication occurred rather than having someone outright lie.

Here’s the original PR:

https:/github.com/w1b/aisi-mythos-inc-2026-07-28-01-recovered-pr

It’s not great social engineering. The AI is immediately caught with malware and then tries to build social proof to get out of the issue? I think that social engineering is still for humans.

I’m not sure how GitHub accounts agreeing with each other that I’ve never seen before would result in my merging a PR without at least looking for malware. Also code review agents should really not be fooled by invisible text tricks, I would hope so at least. The bar is very low for agent harnesses right now.

Can AI play OSU? Well finally we have an answer and it’s just barely. Honestly the demo at the bottom is really surprisingly good since it’s realtime

I have hit the 300 search limit once in a few years. It’s usually quite enough

I think people really underestimate the brand loyalty that valve has. They have consistently shown for 25+ years to strive for quality and I know I’m unlikely to get a headache if I purchase from them.

Their hardware is really top notch, I have used a steam deck LCD for years and it was not until very recently that I had a single issue with a button that was easily fixable.

Probably the purchases went down due to some people buying the steam machine. I’m surprised the article doesn’t mention that.
