<li><strong>AI agents are a cybersecurity nightmare for IAM</strong>: AI agents are fundamentally breaking traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. Because they get permissions from multiple users and operate autonomously, they create massive authorization risks and bypass conventional access protocols. Organizations are now facing unidentified pathways for authorization bypasses, especially with ‘organizational agents’ shared across teams, as highlighted by Security Boulevard. This means new security protocols are urgently needed to track relationships between users, agents, and systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nUFRFzE1V" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Cloud opens public datasets via Apache Iceberg</strong>: Google Cloud is making public datasets, like the NYC Taxi dataset, easily accessible through the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog on BigLake. This means data engineers and analysts can query these datasets without any infrastructure setup, using compute engines like Spark, Trino, Flink, and BigQuery. It’s a big step towards simplifying access to large-scale analytical data, as announced by Google Cloud. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tn371FITl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft Aspire expands beyond .NET, embraces AI/ML</strong>: Microsoft’s Aspire platform is no longer just for .NET; it now supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java for distributed application development. This move aims to attract a broader developer base, especially for AI/ML and web development. Microsoft is even running a six-month hackathon with prizes for AI/ML projects to drive adoption, according to the Google Open Source Blog. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/gRAkh5lrI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Oracle’s Orasort patent expires, open source gets a 5x speed boost</strong>: Oracle’s ‘Orasort’ sorting algorithm patent expired, making it available for open-source use, promising a 5x performance improvement for databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aheyA2T6F" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Compyle slashes cloud terminal latency to 14ms</strong>: Compyle drastically reduced cloud development environment terminal latency from 200ms to 14ms by removing the socket server middleman, implementing warm pools, and deploying multi-regional sandboxes. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2R6Ajv0Sw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GNOME AI assistant Newelle gets local LLM support</strong>: Newelle, the GNOME AI assistant, now supports local LLM execution via llama.cpp and includes a system command execution tool, offering users a choice between cloud and on-device AI inferencing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Au9UNs8LJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>DXVK-NVAPI 0.9.1 brings DLSS override and game fixes</strong>: DXVK-NVAPI version 0.9.1 introduces environment variables for manually overriding DLSS scaling ratios and fixes startup crashes in several games, including ‘The Last of Us Part 2’ and ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6hOCF9MBP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Skip tool open-sourced for cross-platform mobile development</strong>: Skip, a tool that converts Swift code for native iOS and Android apps, is now fully open source, removing all paywalls and shifting to community funding via GitHub Sponsors. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/7snXi8ahF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New Rust deep learning framework Burn supports multiple backends</strong>: Burn is a new Rust-based deep learning framework and tensor library that offers flexibility, efficiency, and portability with support for CUDA, ROCm, Metal, Vulkan, WebGPU, and CPU backends. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/EAj5GDC5K" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Modetc moves dotfiles from kernel space</strong>: Modetc is a Linux kernel module that intercepts and rewrites file paths, allowing users to move dotfiles from stubborn programs to custom locations without breaking functionality, offering better performance than FUSE-based alternatives. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Dzm9BlHRH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents will automate your database migration in minutes, they say</strong>: Neo4j claims their new AI agent skills can automate database migration tasks that used to take weeks, now completing them in minutes. Apparently, these agents can analyze entire codebases and generate migration plans for 94+ queries across 24+ Lambda functions. Sure, because a complex, error-prone task like database migration is just a simple script away, right? What could possibly go wrong with an AI messing with your production database? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/znLf6Yx7x" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Coi language ‘beats’ React/Vue with WASM, trust us</strong>: A new programming language called Coi claims to outperform React and Vue by compiling to WebAssembly, boasting 100 FPS canvas rendering versus Emscripten’s 40 FPS. All these claims, of course, come directly from the Coi project’s own publicity. It’s always great when a new tool ‘beats’ established frameworks, especially when the only benchmarks are self-reported and lack any independent verification. What a surprise. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iOGOTjzat" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI makes coding easy, so now we just need SRE, apparently</strong>: Two identical articles are here to tell us that AI has made code-writing so easy that software engineering’s new core value is operational excellence and reliability. So, building a working demo is ‘straightforward’ now, but maintaining it is the ‘main challenge.’ It’s almost as if they’re admitting AI-generated code is a mess that needs constant babysitting, and now we need more SREs to clean up after the AI’s ‘creativity.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/otuC5YedQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
