<li><strong>AI solves a previously unsolvable math problem</strong>: GPT-5.2 Pro has reportedly solved Erdos problem #281, a mathematical challenge that human mathematicians couldn’t crack. Terence Tao, a highly respected mathematician, called it “perhaps the most unambiguous instance” of AI solving an open problem, marking a significant milestone for AI in mathematical research. This isn’t just hype; it’s a concrete achievement that pushes the boundaries of what AI can do in complex problem-solving. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pRkd3CPEF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Snap Store publisher accounts hijacked for malware distribution</strong>: Scammers are exploiting the Canonical Snap Store by registering expired domains previously used by legitimate publishers, then taking control of their accounts. This allows them to push malicious updates to trusted snap applications, specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallet users to steal recovery phrases. This tactic undermines trust in the Snap Store’s reputation signals and highlights a critical security flaw in their authentication methods, as reported by cybersecurity outlets. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8RJLmL5a0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>China plans a massive satellite constellation</strong>: China has filed requests with the ITU for two new satellite constellations, CTC-1 and CTC-2, totaling an astounding 193,428 satellites—four times larger than SpaceX’s Starlink plans. While China’s current deployment is limited, the sheer scale of this proposal has the US FCC concerned about national security implications. This move could be a strategic signal, but if they meet ITU deployment benchmarks, it would drastically reshape the global satellite landscape. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9Dqo8zul1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI is teaching itself, because, why not?</strong>: Apparently, AI models are now so advanced they’re generating their own questions, finding answers, and refining knowledge autonomously. This ‘self-directed learning’ is supposed to reduce human oversight and accelerate us towards superintelligence. Because what could possibly go wrong with an AI that decides what it wants to learn and how, without any pesky human intervention? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0THZUfhU4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The quiet discipline of great engineering teams: a groundbreaking revelation</strong>: A new article has bravely uncovered that engineering fundamentals like availability, security, and performance are, get this, <em>critical</em> for organizational stability. Who knew? The solution, they say, is ‘Clarity, Consistency, and Cadence.’ It’s almost as if defining what you’re doing, doing it repeatedly, and checking on it regularly is a novel concept. Truly revolutionary insights for those who’ve never built anything before. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dLmkPcsX0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding agents: the joy killers of software development</strong>: After 20 years of mastering Vim/Neovim, one developer is now questioning if learning fundamental tools like awk and sed even makes sense, thanks to AI coding agents. The ‘joy’ of writing code is apparently being replaced by the efficiency of automation. So, we’re trading the satisfaction of craft for the cold, hard reality of machines doing our thinking.
