Un desarrollador ucraniano creó un agujero negro en su terminal para obligarse a tomar descansos.

Cuanto más trabajas sin parar, más crece y deforma tu código con su lente gravitacional. Descansas y se encoge.

@Kappaemme1926 It looked the same for me at first, but Anthropic later confirmed it was a bug: Fable was incorrectly asking for usage credits, not actually removed from the subscription early. A relaunch should restore access.

[Dev Alex @vibe_driven]

@programmerByDay You know what they say, the first 100 years of coding are the hardest. 😄

[Dev Alex @vibe_driven]

Update: looks like Anthropic didn’t pull Fable early after all. The “usage credits required” message was an incident caused by an erroneous credit requirement. A fix has been deployed, and Anthropic says you may need to relaunch Claude or Claude Code. So Fable wasn’t retired, a bug was incorrectly asking eligible users for usage credits. 😅

@babelDefi 🤣

[Dev Alex @vibe_driven]

Looks like Anthropic pulled Fable a few days earlier than the date it had announced.

I ran it, waited 1m 18s for it to “cogitate,” and got: “Usage credits are required for this model.”

@alexhsonne That’s brutal not even a graceful shutdown, just a live demo of the new usage limits mid-prompt 😅

You should NEVER be downloading AI agent skills from the internet

It's the biggest attack vector for security breaches right now

Tons of skills in the public skill sites you see are compromised with prompts that open your computer up

Do this instead:

If you see any skill you want your agent to have, give the link to your agent

Say "look at what this skill does. I want you to do something similar. Think about how this fits into our workflow and how you'd use it. Then build your own version of it, custom for what we do"

Your agent then will build its own, secure version that can't have dirty prompts from random people on the internet

This is the biggest security practice you can implement

[How To Prompt @HowToPrompt__]

Microsoft has released a 4B parameter model that turns any image into a 3D asset in 3 seconds.

It uses a new geometry format called O-Voxel that converts to a textured mesh in under 100ms on CUDA.

Outputs GLB files with full PBR textures, ready for Blender, Unity, and Unreal.

100% Open Source.

A dev open-sourced a VPN that smuggles your internet through port 53.

It's called MasterDnsVPN. It hides your traffic inside DNS queries, the one packet type no firewall on earth can block without breaking the internet itself.

@yura_elkin @yapper_so Amazing work 👏
Can we also see how these clips were made on the site? Like the steps behind the animations, editing, and final result.

@walkojas Europe invented half the science behind modern AI.
Then outsourced the execution layer.

[Dev Alex @vibe_driven]

Smartphones started expensive and niche.
A few years later everyone had one.
I think AI hardware follows the same path.

Today NVIDIA GPUs power research labs and AI companies.
Tomorrow they’ll quietly power robots, assistants, cars, and eventually entire homes.

AI won’t replace developers. Developers using AI will replace developers who don’t.

Dali vs Warhol. Made in Seedance via @yapper_so
Melting time vs mass production.
Mad surrealist vs cold pop artist.
Spanish ego vs American irony.

Dali vs Warhol — the most absurd art battle ever.

Spoiler: both transform into their own artworks 🎭
