<li><strong>Upwind security raises $250M for runtime cloud security</strong>: Upwind Security, founded by the team behind <a href="http://Spot.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Spot.io</a>, secured a hefty $250 million in Series B funding, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. They’re pushing a “runtime” cloud security platform that uses an “inside-out” approach, analyzing internal signals like network requests and API traffic to prioritize real-time threats. This contrasts with traditional agentless scanning, and despite initial hesitation from security teams to deploy internal agents, they’ve seen 900% year-over-year revenue growth, according to TechCrunch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LGgCBPA2D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft research open-sources rust-based bf-tree for large-scale indexing</strong>: Microsoft Research has open-sourced Bf-Tree, a concurrent range index data structure written in Rust, optimized for read-write operations on datasets larger than memory. This is a significant development for high-performance data management, offering a robust solution for handling massive amounts of data efficiently, complete with comprehensive testing and benchmarking tools. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IwZsXCS0g" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI writes tool to review its own AI-generated code</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents are so good they wrote GitHuman, a tool for reviewing AI-generated code. And get this, they even used GitHuman to review its own AI-written commits. It’s almost like they’re trying to prove AI can do everything, including creating its own problems and then solving them, all while shifting the code review burden from the PR stage to the staging area. Because, you know, humans were just too good at finding bugs <em>after</em> the code was pushed. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/M78k9F0lW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered driving instructor rewards you for not crashing</strong>: Discovery Insure launched an AI-powered driving instructor that uses telematics and generative AI to create personalized driving goals and rewards. Because nothing says “safe driving” like an AI telling you what to do, and then giving you “Discovery Miles” for not crashing. It’s almost like they’re trying to gamify not dying, while simultaneously collecting all your driving data. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LsXY4pcoJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google integrates gemini directly into chrome</strong>: Google announced Gemini integration directly into Chrome, featuring a persistent AI sidebar that can reason across open tabs, agentic auto-browsing, and built-in image transformation. Because what we all needed was an AI that watches everything we do in our browser, and then offers to transform our images. It’s almost like they’re trying to make Chrome even more of a resource hog, while simultaneously making us question if we’re ever truly alone online. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/zXaGTLuxY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
