I mean baseline layoffs and restructurings don't add to or subtract from what makes the tech trend exceptional.

What makes it exceptional is its delta from the baseline.

150 job cut doesn't really seem newsworthy. This kinda shit happens all the time

The official RCA is credential stuffing.

Reused passwords are a bitch.

The main surprise is that you were able to get to genomic data with just a password. I thought it was only ever sent over email to the account email.

Maybe the attack involved changing email as well?

Our investigation determined the threat actor downloaded or accessed your uninterrupted raw genotype data, and may have accessed other sensitive information in your account,

Fascinating. I was under the impression that you couldn't get that without having it sent to your email address. I certainly haven't seen any other ways of getting raw genomics out.

Is this that the threat actor sent it to an email that was potentially compromised or do they have download logs of some form of hidden direct download feature?

Yeah the software being bundled in default images is just a convenience.

Most places that are serious about using AWS will be shipping their own images anyway

The Google ads team is functionally all of the company's revenue.

Google search still remains their most used product offering with most of their ad revenue (58.1% in 2022).

Google leadership is terrified that anyone could eat their lunch, because they know the search offering is getting worse and worse.

The origin of Google was taking out complacent search companies that had gotten comfy.

I'm pretty sure when I was laid off (1 year ago yesterday ❤️❤️ thanks Google) it was because they saw LLMs as a threat they hadn't taken seriously enough... Combined with that asshole billionaire being pissy that Google was only making 1.2 million per employee instead of 1.3 million.

... Which makes it even less credible legally.

Unless you're getting C-suite level emails saying they're not going to do it, don't trust them.

And even then you should be ready to sue.

Firefox has reader mode and uBlock origin on mobile ;)

Must've come after I gave it a shot: I picked it up pretty soon after release.

Not terribly surprised. When I tried the app out I didn't really get the appeal. It was like adding a comments section to existing news feeds and didn't provide enough tailoring or algorithmic understanding of reading habits to be a compelling offering.

Besides the fact that they were using a chrome embedded browser, meaning I couldn't even ad block on the sites I visited: which made the reading experience nearly impossible.

The problem is obvious and it's one that even the companies making the LLMs want to solve so they don't poison their models.

However the solution is absurd. Watermarking plain text is just not going to work. Any edits would change the signature.
