<li><strong>Vite 8 swaps Rollup for Rust powered Rolldown</strong>: Vite 8.0 has officially launched, replacing the dual-bundler esbuild/Rollup architecture with Rolldown, a unified Rust-based bundler. Benchmarks from the Vite team and early adopters like Linear show production build speed improvements of 10-30x, while maintaining full plugin compatibility. This release also stabilizes the Environment API and introduces built-in tsconfig path resolution and Wasm SSR support. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=FK7SZspfC&amp;id=jSEmYxr9o&amp;id=nIhKwLZii" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Claude Opus 4.6 arrives with adaptive thinking</strong>: Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.6, introducing ‘Adaptive Thinking’ and context compaction to handle long-running agentic workflows within a 1M token window. While Anthropic claims top scores on coding benchmarks, independent testing by Quesma found only 49% accuracy in binary backdoor detection, and community reports on Hacker News suggest performance regressions in specific logic tasks. The model is now available across major cloud providers including AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/k8zmtIiR6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Stryker hit by destructive cyberattack via Intune abuse</strong>: Iranian hacktivist group Handala has claimed a massive wiper attack on medical technology firm Stryker, allegedly affecting 200,000 systems globally. Security researchers at Unit 42 and Akamai report the attack likely bypassed traditional EDR by abusing Microsoft Intune to issue legitimate remote-wipe commands. Stryker has filed an SEC disclosure confirming global network disruptions but disputes the ‘wiper’ classification, stating no malware was detected. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=qJLUV3dqX&amp;id=kgoMiexIm&amp;id=RNP1WzQpA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI productivity gap is a 10 percent reality</strong>: A longitudinal study by DX found that despite a 65% surge in AI tool adoption, PR throughput only increased by 10%. It turns out that generating boilerplate 5x faster doesn’t help when your bottleneck is actually human alignment and code review. AI vendors’ claims of 300% productivity gains remain firmly in the realm of creative fiction. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MCzNO6zN8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Perplexity caught playing hide and seek with Amazon</strong>: Perplexity’s ‘Comet’ browser was slapped with a federal injunction after allegedly masquerading as a human user to bypass Amazon’s bot protections. Apparently, ‘AI-powered search’ is just a fancy term for ‘ignoring robots.txt and hoping nobody notices.’ The court wasn’t impressed by the ‘disguise the bot as Chrome’ strategy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6C7H85iXz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>USDA needs Palantir for office seating charts</strong>: The USDA awarded Palantir a sole-source contract to manage office seating for their return-to-office mandate, claiming only ‘enterprise-scale data fusion’ could solve the mystery of where people sit. Bypassing every other vendor to use a defense-grade surveillance platform for a floor plan is the ultimate ‘using a sledgehammer to crack a nut’ move.
