<li><strong>AWS EC2 now supports nested virtualization</strong>: AWS has rolled out support for nested virtualization on virtual EC2 instances, specifically on C8i, M8i, and R8i instances powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors. This means you can now run KVM or Hyper-V inside your EC2 VMs, enabling use cases like mobile app emulators, automotive hardware simulation, and testing multi-VM environments. This brings AWS in line with Azure and Google Cloud, offering more flexibility for complex cloud-native setups. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hFJsILiy4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Istio 1.29.0 enhances ambient mesh and security</strong>: Istio 1.29.0 is out, bringing significant improvements to its ambient mesh with default DNS proxying and automatic iptables reconciliation. It also includes beta support for the Gateway API Inference Extension and bolsters security with remote cluster trust domain watching and CRL support in ztunnel. This release focuses on robustness and new features, alongside a critical security patch (1.27.7) addressing CVE-2025-61732, a high-severity code smuggling vulnerability. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Hl8MqfAdH&amp;id=Vx9QllueY&amp;id=P84O4eJD1&amp;id=ERyfZQmWH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Chrome zero-day actively exploited, patch immediately</strong>: Google released an emergency update for Chrome 145 to fix a high-severity use-after-free zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-2441) in its CSS engine. This flaw allows remote code execution via crafted HTML pages and is actively being exploited in the wild. Security experts are urging rapid patching and enhanced endpoint monitoring, highlighting the constant threat in complex software like Chrome. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=G9AfdVV0Z&amp;id=AK3a3hE0z&amp;id=EWohDzjzG&amp;id=Rk6iVnRuo&amp;id=bvXFp0lun" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Unity AI beta promises game creation without coding</strong>: Unity CEO Matt Bromberg announced a new Unity AI beta for March 2026, claiming it will enable full casual game creation via natural language prompts ‘without coding.’ Because apparently, game development is just about typing words now, and all those pesky engineers can go home. This sounds less like democratizing game development and more like generating a whole lot of shovelware, as reported by sources like <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a>’s testing team. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8eYbRwAri&amp;id=AdfV4mCwr&amp;id=JV1i29nbu&amp;id=VHhfvW7O6&amp;id=Wvk48DEZ7&amp;id=c0OH8CKQK&amp;id=f6XrCIdfx&amp;id=nDP0QVxkd&amp;id=p4VqhMMFm&amp;id=tawcRIuP1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents building SQLite in Rust</strong>: An experiment had multiple AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) build a SQLite-like database engine in Rust, producing ~19k lines of code with 282 passing tests. The catch? 54.5% of the commits were ‘coordination overhead.’ So, we’re celebrating AI that spends more than half its time arguing with itself to build something we already have. Progress! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pbRQZ4xYf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will automate everyone else’s job</strong>: The ‘GeLLMan Amnesia’ effect suggests people believe AI will automate everyone else’s job, but not their own, because AI’s flaws are obvious in their own domain. So, while AI is ‘a structural shift in value creation,’ apparently it’s only going to affect the ‘other guys.’ Good to know our jobs are safe from the ‘LLMs that asymptotically approach expert level’ but ‘never quite replace deep domain expertise.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=6sTumutah&amp;id=FdIOjdD8s" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
