<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Linus Torvalds uses AI for Python tooling</strong>: Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, released AudioNoise, an open-source guitar pedal simulator. While he coded the core DSP in C, he used Google’s Antigravity AI-assist IDE (likely Gemini) for the Python visualization tool, a practice he calls “vibe coding.” This marks a significant adoption of AI coding tools by a major open-source leader, streamlining the process between searching for code examples and manual coding, as reported across multiple tech blogs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fe8LDMARY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India proposes strict smartphone security standards</strong>: India is pushing for 83 new smartphone security standards, including source code access, pre-update notifications, and 12-month device log storage. Major tech companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google are opposing these requirements, calling them unprecedented and invasive. Reuters reports government documents contradict public statements, suggesting a demand for source code access, raising concerns about regulatory overreach and commercial risks for proprietary technology. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta secures nuclear power for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta announced partnerships with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo to secure up to 6.6 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2035. This move aims to provide reliable baseload power for Meta’s expanding AI infrastructure and data centers, particularly supporting the Prometheus supercluster in Ohio. The agreements involve extending the life of existing plants and developing new advanced reactors, positioning nuclear power as a clean solution for AI’s growing compute demands. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/elp6Y0W2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI code generation: 70-90% of production code, zero accountability?</strong>: Apparently, AI code generation tools now create 70-90% of production code, and if you’re not letting AI agents run wild with full access to your tooling, you’re ‘falling behind.’ The article conveniently forgets to mention who’s responsible when these AI-generated masterpieces inevitably break or introduce security flaws. But hey, at least we’re automating away the need for pesky human accountability, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LeN1TdPNx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GenAI projects failing? Must be your infrastructure, not the AI!</strong>: A ‘practitioner’ claims 80% of GenAI projects fail because of ‘production-ready infrastructure gaps,’ not the models themselves. The solution? Seven magical folders like ‘prompt versioning’ and ‘error handlers.’ It’s almost as if the AI isn’t the silver bullet everyone promised, and you still need actual engineering to make things work.

<li><strong>Claude Opus 4.5 masters Pokémon, still can’t plan ahead</strong>: Claude Opus 4.5 can now play Pokémon Red with improved vision and note-taking, finally breaking through obstacles that stumped previous versions. But don’t get too excited; it still suffers from ‘attention blindness,’ poor long-term planning, and gets stuck on simple puzzles for days. So, it’s great at Pokémon, but maybe don’t ask it to plan your next vacation or, you know, solve actual complex problems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/V6f8UHfdX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
