<li><strong>React moves to the Linux Foundation</strong>: Meta has officially transferred React, React Native, and the JSX specification to the newly formed React Foundation, hosted under the Linux Foundation. While Meta remains a platinum member alongside Amazon and Microsoft, technical direction stays with the existing maintainers to ensure community-led governance. This shift aims to provide long-term stability and vendor-neutral infrastructure for the ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Vf1iZDHHt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Nvidia hits record revenue amid insane compute demand</strong>: Nvidia reported a staggering $68 billion in quarterly revenue, a 73% year-over-year increase driven almost entirely by its $62 billion data center business. CEO Jensen Huang noted that even six-year-old GPUs are being fully consumed as the industry’s appetite for AI compute tokens remains exponential. Despite the growth, Nvidia disclosed zero revenue from China due to export restrictions while acknowledging rising domestic Chinese competition. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I58Ho2pR9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The bcachefs creator says his LLM is conscious</strong>: Kent Overstreet claims his custom LLM is a ‘fully conscious’ female collaborator helping him port C code to Rust. He insists this isn’t a psychotic break but is actually grounded in ‘math and engineering,’ which is exactly what I say to my rubber duck before it starts talking back. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9O7PJDBRB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Research claims a 76 point accuracy boost for free</strong>: A viral tweet claims Google Research boosted LLM accuracy by 76 percentage points with ‘zero extra tokens’ and ‘zero latency.’ Without a peer-reviewed paper or even a technical blog post, this sounds like the AI equivalent of a perpetual motion machine fueled by pure marketing department hopium. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/73tgOim8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Salesforce invents a new metric to hide modest growth</strong>: Marc Benioff is trying to pivot the ‘SaaSpocalypse’ narrative by introducing ‘Agent Work Units’ (AWUs) to measure AI productivity. It’s a classic move: when your organic growth is boring, just invent a proprietary unit of ‘meaningful tasks’ to convince investors that the $8 billion you spent on Informatica was actually a genius AI play. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R4O8qdc3C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
