<li><strong>GlassWorm malware hits Open VSX with silent dependency injection</strong>: A sophisticated supply-chain campaign has targeted the Open VSX registry with 72 malicious extensions impersonating tools like ESLint and Prettier. Socket researchers found that the extensions initially appear clean but later update to include hidden dependencies containing the GlassWorm loader. Because VS Code installs these dependencies automatically, developers are being compromised without any manual intervention or visible warnings. <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 with 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth. The launch includes Dynamo 1.0, a distributed inference framework adopted by AWS and Google Cloud that claims to serve 7x more requests on Blackwell GPUs. Additionally, NVIDIA formed the Nemotron Coalition with Mistral and Perplexity to develop open foundation models optimized for autonomous agents. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=5RfcDxaY5&amp;id=B4qhMcdbs&amp;id=A6SkRNnSZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux 7.1 to drop UDP-Lite and optimize task scheduling</strong>: The upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel will officially remove UDP-Lite support, a move that unexpectedly yielded a 10% performance gain in round-robin tests on AMD EPYC hardware. Developer Tejun Heo also merged the SCX_ENQ_IMMED flag for sched_ext, which aims to slash task scheduling latency by preventing processes from idling on local dispatch queues. Other performance wins include a 35% speedup for cosh() in glibc for x86_64-v3 architectures. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9opkLYM2k&amp;id=UK3twuSLV&amp;id=UYsH91hbs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>DLSS 5 is the new AI filter for your favorite characters</strong>: NVIDIA is pitching DLSS 5 as ‘neural rendering’ that crosses the uncanny valley, but early demos in Resident Evil show faces so ‘dramatically altered’ they look like a bad Instagram filter. Digital Foundry and critics are already calling out the over-processed look that trades artistic intent for AI-generated lighting guesses. It’s a bold move to call it ‘photorealistic’ when it 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 2000x slower SQLite rewrite in Rust</strong>: Codestrap founders are warning of an impending ‘reckoning’ as developers blindly trust AI to refactor core infrastructure. They cited a recent AI-generated Rust rewrite of SQLite that managed to be 2,000 times slower than the original C code. It turns out that ‘it compiles’ is a remarkably low bar for performance-critical backend systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0yEYSAbXJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Agentic AI costs are the new cloud bill nightmare</strong>: While everyone is hyping ‘autonomous agents’ as the end of human labor, 96% of organizations report costs are significantly higher than expected. Some single agent sessions have reportedly hit $100,000, proving that ‘agentic’ is often just a fancy word for ‘unbounded recursive API calls.’ We’ve moved from ‘serverless’ sticker shock to ‘agentic’ bankruptcy in record time. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/c9X27okCy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
