It's the world's worst kept secret that Nvidia is about to announce its own Arm-powered laptop chips at Computex this weekend, and now Microsoft, Nvidia, and Arm are all openly teasing the announcement. The Windows and Nvidia GeForce accounts on X both posted "A new era of PC" earlier today, and now Arm has followed up with an identical post.

All three posts include coordinates pointing to where Computex is hosted in Taipei. Nvidia is holding a Computex keynote in Taipei at 8PM PT / 11PM ET on Sunday night, where it's rumored to be announcing its new N1 and N1x laptop chips.

A new era of PC.

• Free and Student users can select models other than Auto in the model picker
• ThemePicker side-by-side layout fits within a 120-column terminal without wrapping
• Model picker shows accurate total context window size per pricing tier
• Add builtInAgents.rubberDuck setting to enable or disable the rubber duck agent via copilot config
• Extended key reporting works correctly in tmux when Kitty keyboard protocol is unavailable
• Config and settings files are written atomically to prevent data loss when multiple CLI processes run concurrently
• BYOK provider configuration now applies correctly to ACP sessions
• MCP tools that return both human-readable content text and a structuredContent payload now surface both to the agent instead of dropping either side. When the text is the literal JSON serialization (per MCP spec §5.2.6) it is deduplicated; otherwise the two are concatenated.
• Fix /context small-token legend formatting and free-space grid rounding
• Reasoning effort picker respects model capabilities — options not supported by the model are no longer shown
• File paths in /env output display with correct formatting
• Reasoning text always displays above the assistant response in the conversation timeline
• Assistant responses render without single-word orphan lines in the terminal timeline
• Diff view uses a continuous scroll layout with sticky file and hunk headers, full terminal width, and theme-aware colors
• web_fetch tool prefers markdown content when available, using HTTP content negotiation for cleaner results from documentation sites
• Cursor stays at correct position after pasting text that contains tab characters
• Code review agent now uses the same model as the current session instead of a fixed default
• When gh CLI is on PATH, GitHub MCP server now omits redundant gh-replaceable tools by default, reducing token usage
• Context window tier selection now persists durably in session events and survives SDK-only resume paths so tier-derived limits are reapplied to request, compaction, and truncation logic without app-level repair
• Remote session URL correctly uses the repository owner/name instead of literal 'copilot'
• Trusted folder confirmation message clarifies that permissions may be remembered for the session

Off to Europe today to speak at Google Cloud’s Nordics Summit in Sweden, and then a Cloud event in Paris. Maybe I’ll see some of you there?

[article] The AI efficiency plateau. You’ve got to do continued use of these tools before the time savings kick in. But it also looks like gains may not be sustainable. I suspect that’s less about the tools and more about bumping into new bottlenecks in the broader workflow.

[article] AI-assisted engineers are burning out, is this fine? There’s a productivity trap with these AI tools. The workload somehow increases, and sometimes it’s self-inflicted. This article has some tips for avoiding AI burnout.

[blog] How I Use Agents Without Stopping My Own Growth. Good advice. It’s your choice to quit thinking or outsource reviews to AI. Not required!

[blog] 50%+ failure is normal. Half of AI projects in the enterprise will fail. That’s a typical failure rate of most any IT project over the past decades.

[blog] DeepSWE. This is a new “long-horizon software engineering benchmark” to better measure how well LLMs perform on quasi-realistic software tasks.

[blog] Go Modules in Practice: Init, Tidy, Vendor, and Publishing Packages. A Go module might seem weird if you’re coming from JavaScript, for example. But they’re a powerful way to organize Go resources.

[blog] Beyond code generation: rethinking engineering productivity in the age of AI agents. The Dropbox engineering team shared some of their major lessons learned so far.

[blog] Can you ‘learn’ to use AI without being all in? Jason says no. You need to reach for these tools first (doesn’t mean you always use them) and make them part of a daily workflow to really learn them.

[article] The Cursor Developer Habits Report. You could imagine that Cursor is sitting on some pretty excellent data right now. They’ve turned some of that into an interesting report. A few of these points may surprise you.

[article] Inside Bloomberg’s flat engineering culture. Their tech team is growing, but they’ve stayed flat. Progression may feel slower, but they see decisions made faster.

[blog] Solo founding is at an all-time high: Top performers have these traits in common. We may see fewer giant software companies in the future, but I’d expect we see a lot more smaller (solo?) ones.

Wix is laying off roughly 20% of its workforce, about 1,000 employees, as CEO Avishai Abrahami cites both the rapid evolution of AI and currency pressure from a stronger Israeli shekel against the dollar. The web developer joins a growing list of tech companies making similar cuts, including Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and Intuit. Fast Company reports: "We have witnessed the most significant shift in how companies are built since the invention of modern programming languages in the 1970s," [wrote Abrahami]. "This is not just about adopting new tools -- it is about rewiring how companies are built, how they think, how they manage, and how they operate. Companies that embrace this change will not only build faster; they will build things the previous generation literally could not have imagined." Abrahami also cited the poor exchange rate between the Israeli shekel and the U.S. dollar. The Israeli currency has significantly strengthened in the past few quarters against a weakening dollar, and the shekel is up nearly 30% against the greenback over the last year. "As the majority of our teams are Israel-based, a very meaningful portion of our costs are shekel-denominated, while our revenue is largely dollar-denominated," Abrahami explained on X. "This creates a structural pressure on our ability to operate at our current scale. It is a reality that directly shapes what is sustainable for our company."
