<li><strong>GlassWorm malware hits Open VSX with silent dependency injection</strong>: A sophisticated supply-chain campaign has infected at least 72 extensions on the Open VSX registry, impersonating essential tools like ESLint, Prettier, and Claude Code. According to Socket researchers, the malware uses a delayed execution tactic where clean extensions later update to include hidden malicious payloads. Because VS Code automatically installs these dependencies, developers are silently compromised by the GlassWorm loader without any manual intervention. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yKzLDg3bN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA GTC 2026 debuts Vera CPU and agentic infrastructure</strong>: NVIDIA has unveiled the Vera CPU, a custom 88-core processor designed specifically for agentic AI and reinforcement learning, claiming a 2x efficiency boost over traditional rack-scale CPUs. The launch includes Dynamo 1.0, a distributed inference framework adopted by AWS and Google Cloud that promises 4x lower latency for agentic workflows. Jensen Huang also projected over $1 trillion in Blackwell and Vera Rubin chip orders through 2027, signaling a massive shift toward dedicated AI hardware at the data center level. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5RfcDxaY5&amp;id=B4qhMcdbs&amp;id=GlaCYECtS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Temporal API officially joins ECMAScript 2026 specification</strong>: The TC39 committee has advanced the Temporal API to Stage 4, marking the end of a decade-long effort to replace JavaScript’s broken Date object. Temporal provides immutable date/time types and native timezone support, with full implementation already landed in Firefox and Chromium. TypeScript 6.0 now includes the necessary type definitions, allowing full-stack engineers to finally move away from heavy libraries like Moment.js or Day.js for predictable date arithmetic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WsjtjDMl5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>NVIDIA DLSS 5 is definitely not generative AI except when it is</strong>: NVIDIA is performing some impressive linguistic gymnastics by claiming DLSS 5 is ‘distinct from generative AI’ while simultaneously describing it as using neural inference to generate most of the image. Digital Foundry already caught it ‘dramatically altering’ character faces in demos, proving that ‘photorealism’ is just code for ‘letting an AI hallucinate over the artist’s original intent.’ It’s a glorified Instagram filter for your GPU that requires two RTX 5090s just to run the preview. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/te2HRAtVx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The 2,000x slower Rust rewrite and the AI code reckoning</strong>: Codestrap founders are predicting a massive ‘reckoning’ as developers realize that blindly using AI to rewrite stable systems is a recipe for disaster. They cited a recent AI-driven SQLite rewrite in Rust that managed to be 2,000x slower than the original C code because the LLM didn’t actually understand the underlying architecture. It turns out that ‘accelerating’ your workflow by shipping unreviewed garbage just creates a mountain of technical debt that will come due in about eight months. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0yEYSAbXJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Indie Kit promises a SaaS in days by charging for a boilerplate</strong>: The ‘Indie Kit’ is the latest entry in the ‘pay me for a Next.js starter’ trend, claiming to reduce setup time from months to days by including 600+ UI components you’ll never use. It markets ‘AI-optimized code’ as a feature, which is just a fancy way of saying they included a few .cursorrules files and some Claude prompts. Charging solo founders for a collection of open-source libraries and basic auth wrappers is the ultimate ‘selling shovels during a gold rush’ move. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/E8kIg4ntl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
