<li><strong>Meta goes nuclear for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta is partnering with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo to secure up to 6.6 GW of nuclear energy by 2035. This massive investment aims to power Meta’s expanding AI infrastructure and data centers, particularly the Prometheus supercluster in Ohio. The move highlights the extreme energy demands of advanced AI and Meta’s commitment to reliable, baseload power, as reported by Meta itself. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/elp6Y0W2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India’s smartphone security demands spark industry backlash</strong>: India is proposing 83 new smartphone security standards, including source code access and 12-month device log storage, drawing strong opposition from Apple, Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi. Industry players argue these requirements are unprecedented, invasive, and could compromise proprietary technology. Reuters reports contradict the Indian IT ministry’s public denials of seeking source code, suggesting a significant regulatory battle ahead. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linus Torvalds uses AI for coding, but not for the hard stuff</strong>: Even Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, is dabbling with AI coding tools. He used Google’s Antigravity AI-assist IDE (likely Gemini) for a Python visualization tool in his new AudioNoise project, calling it ‘vibe coding.’ However, he programmed the core DSP in C himself, emphasizing AI’s role in streamlining mundane tasks rather than complex algorithmic design. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fe8LDMARY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Quantum tech heats up with mergers and public listings</strong>: D-Wave is acquiring Quantum Circuits for $550 million to integrate gate-model technology, aiming for a commercial system by 2026, while Infleqtion is set to become the first publicly listed neutral-atom quantum company via a SPAC merger, targeting over $540 million in proceeds. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=rdMlkyvEb&amp;id=RMchWZxRf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>US reauthorizes national quantum initiative</strong>: The U.S. is reintroducing the National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act to extend federal coordination of quantum research through 2034, establishing new NIST and NSF centers, and including NASA quantum programs for the first time. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fWH0q50O1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Telegraf 1.38.0 tightens environment variable security</strong>: Telegraf version 1.38.0 now defaults to strict environment variable handling to prevent malicious injection of unauthorized plugins, requiring users to review configurations for compatibility or risk issues. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=VTcea1vlc&amp;id=Rh2595NND" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PostgreSQL as a Redis alternative for small apps</strong>: A technical article suggests PostgreSQL can replace Redis for caching, pub/sub, and job queues in small-to-medium applications by leveraging features like UNLOGGED tables and LISTEN/NOTIFY, potentially saving infrastructure costs by consolidating systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X7d3O8Vu2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Developers building AI tools for workflow integration</strong>: Hacker News discussions reveal developers are actively building AI chat tools for session management, full-text search for AI conversations using Rust and Tantivy, and Tmux-based CLIs for AI agents to execute terminal scripts. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/sxLN2tj0R" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Gentoo Linux 2025 review highlights progress</strong>: Gentoo Linux’s 2025 year-in-review shows 112,927 commits, four new developers, finalized EAPI 9, migration planning to Codeberg, and official support for RISC-V bootable images and Windows Subsystem for Linux. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/19Mn2n5YA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI code generation: the new productivity paradox</strong>: Apparently, AI code generation tools now create 70-90% of production code, and if you’re not adapting, you’re ‘falling behind.’ The solution? Treat AI like a junior engineer, give it full access to your tooling, and embrace ‘orchestration patterns.’ Because nothing says ‘robust system’ like letting an AI with ‘nondeterministic behavior’ (as one developer put it) run wild with your production environment. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=LeN1TdPNx&amp;id=02YtNeXqK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GenAI projects: 80% failure rate, 100% infrastructure blame</strong>: A seasoned practitioner claims 80% of GenAI projects fail, not because the models are bad, but because developers can’t build proper production infrastructure. The solution, apparently, is to implement seven ‘essential production folders’ like prompt versioning and error handlers. So, it’s not the shiny new AI that’s the problem, it’s just that nobody knows how to build software anymore. Good to know we’re still blaming the tools, not the hype. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ExsMXw27a&amp;id=yocwu10Ql" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Prompt engineering won’t fix your architectural debt</strong>: Some genius out there thinks prompt engineering can magically fix a terrible software architecture. Newsflash: AI agents are just distributed systems with all the same state, latency, and failure modes you’ve been ignoring. If your architecture is a fragmented mess, AI will just amplify the chaos, not clean it up. But hey, at least it’ll make your architectural debt ‘predictable and boring,’ which is apparently a win. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ioJPO54WS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
