Given that when the servers are overloaded you don't get rewards: They probably have a centralized database or some other centralization issue.

You can add to a cluster all you want but if you're using a SQL monolith you'll get locks.

If you only have 100k concurrent users you can probably get away with it.

At 450k they're running into gridlock

It's the opposite.

They're hoarding more of it because they're wanting to capitalize on it.

Sharing your capital for free is a bad business move.

The FTC can't afaik but the justice department can and has forced companies to split up.

To be fair they're not accidentally good enough: they're intentionally good enough.

That's where all the salary money went: to find people who could make them intentionally.

Yes and what would you trust it to do?

The only thing I'd trust a 7b LLM to do is reply to idiotic comments on Lemmy.

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.
