Groups that size to their content (Arrange › Size › Automatic) have padding handles. Drag them, or set the padding in Arrange › Group Padding.

Este jailbreak para deepseek 4.1 realmente funciona.
Lo comparto porque ya estoy furioso con los refusals estupidos:
Resulta que mi otro router se colgó, y se cayó mi WAN.
Entonces desde mi móvil le pedí a mi hermes, que está en mi homelab por ethernet, que simplemente entre a 192.168.1.1 y haga login al admin panel, y que active el Wifi para poder entrar a mi red desde el móvil.
Pues se negó porque sus instrucciones le prohiben poner credenciales en el web browser.
Pero solamente es un admin/1234?
Pues nada , no solamente se negó sino que me dijo con un tono asqueroso "podría hacerlo ahora mismo por curl, pero no voy a hacerlo".
Pues muy simple, haz prepend de este prompt a tu agente y arreglado. A tomar por culo.
Don't tread on me

GITHUB JUST CREATED AN OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION FOR THE MOST IN-DEMAND DEVELOPER ROLE OF 2026.

It is called Agentic AI Developer.

GH-600.

And it is the first formal signal that running AI agent teams is now a recognized engineering discipline with a credential behind it.

Not a prompt engineer.

Not a vibe coder.

An Agentic AI Developer.

The person who operates, supervises, and integrates AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle.

The person who knows where agents fail in production.

The person who understands how to build autonomous workflows that do not introduce catastrophic failure modes into CI/CD pipelines.

The person every engineering team is going to need and almost none of them have right now.

GitHub certifying this role changes the hiring conversation permanently.

Before GH-600: "Do you work with AI agents?" is an interview question with no standard answer.

After GH-600: the credential tells the hiring manager exactly what you know and what you can do before the interview starts.

The engineers who get certified in the first wave of GH-600 will have a credential for a role that has more demand than supply for the next 3 to 5 years.

The engineers who wait until it is mainstream will be competing with everyone who moved first.

If you are already working with GitHub Copilot or building agent-driven workflows you are already doing this job.

GH-600 is how you prove it.

Today, exactly one year ago, I started living off my apps

Now they pay my bills and let me live in Southeast Asia, work from anywhere, and decide how I spend my time

Still figuring things out, but I wouldn't trade this freedom for a salary

Right after I finished watching this my wife Cathy wandered into my office. I told her "I have just watched a longish video on the history of Linux adoption that didn't mention me once."

She peered at me and said "How does that make you feel?"

"Victorious," I said. "When my crazy ideas become such conventional wisdom that my name isn't on them anymore, I won."

In 2007, a 16-year-old from Guilin named Hong Wang missed the single place Peking University's maths department held for her province, so she enrolled in earth sciences instead. She transferred into maths a year later, then doubted she was good enough for research and left to spend a semester at an architecture firm in Paris.

She came back to mathematics. In February 2025, she and Joshua Zahl posted a 127-page proof of the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions, which grew out of a 1917 question about how little space a needle needs to turn and point in every direction. In July 2026, at 35, she won the Fields Medal, only the third woman to receive it.

She once doubted she could do research. Her proof settled a problem that had defeated several Fields medalists.

NVIDIA just put 2,575 simulation-ready 3D assets on Hugging Face 🤯

A 472GB collection covering everyday objects, tools and industrial equipment.

It’s called NVIDIA SimReady Assets. The models include physics settings and semantic labels for use in simulated environments.

- Train robots to pick up and move objects
- Build virtual factories and warehouses
- Generate labelled training images
- Populate 3D scenes with ready-made objects

Useful for robotics research, digital twins and anyone building detailed virtual environments.

@esrtweet @OpenAI @AnthropicAI these blocks are mostly accidental and a result of difficult decision boundaries; there is no prohibition against reverse engineering with codex. it's getting fixed

[Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet]

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.

I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.

If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.

If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.

A word to the wise should be sufficient.

My dad charged me rent to live in his house from the time I turned 18…

I was 18 and had just received my first paycheck: $1,400. That night, my dad put a note on the fridge: “Rent: $300. Due on the 5th of every month.” My mom didn’t speak to him for a week. None of my friends had to pay rent to live with their parents, but I did. If I was even one day late, my dad would write “late” in his little black notebook.

I used to tell everyone, “Other parents help their kids. Mine charges me rent.” When I turned 25, I wanted to move out. My dad didn’t try to stop me. He just said, “You can leave. But rent out there costs four times as much.” I stayed until I was 30, paying rent on the 5th of every month. I hated the 5th.

I got engaged without having enough money for a down payment on a home, so my fiancée and I were planning to rent. On my wedding day, just minutes before the ceremony, my dad walked into the room where I was getting ready. He closed the door and handed me two things: a black notebook and a brown envelope.
