Binance explicitly said it wasn't just the compromised laptop.

I'd be surprised if it were. Crypto exchanges have been targeted by hackers since forever, and Binance is one of the top. If it was so easy to exfiltrate crypto from them, I'd have expected a heist before now. (Unless controls have just gotten worse recently.)

When we see a breach of AWS or GCP or leading banks, basically any org that has good security, I'll believe technical security is impossible.

Otherwise, I think this is a issue of vendors, even if potentially most vendors fit into the basket of having insufficiently good cyber posture in AI-era.

Yeah... Given that everyone else seems to make models available either immediately or within days of announcement, idk why Google feels it's competitive or acceptable to do these 'available at some point' releases.

Capabilities are also improving so fast that this fomo doesn't really keep people excited. If I can't run it, I'll sorta just click off. And given how they handled the Argon release, I've not even bothered look at this Carbon one. Fully expected it to not be usable yet.

I too could not figure it out. Also a shame the Vertex API format is sorta different to OpenAI's, which everyone but Anthropic uses. The sanest way to use Google AI models is via OpenRouter tbh.

Small business self-employment doesn’t care that much about saturation, I think, only the supply-demand relationship. See everything from Fiverr to coffee shops.

But yes, self-employment often is a lot of work.

The HuggingFace hack isn't OpenAI's responsibility because they hosted it. It's their responsibility because they directed it; it was part of their own internal benchmark run that they fully controlled.

If a third party uses a model created and hosted by OpenAI, I don't think OpenAI should be liable so long as they implement acceptable security controls. Same as if a site hosted on Cloudflare or GCP is doing something dodgy, Cloudflare/GCP aren't held liable so long as they respond to abuse reports.

Yeah, so long as China exists and wants to keep releasing open models, it's not feasible for Western labs to stop releasing frontier models to the people.

I don't believe this is true with current frontier coding agents. Or at least, it's becoming increasingly less true, such that I think it will effectively be nullified in ~6 months.

Entrepreneurship 101 imo is that great companies only come from people who sufficiently care to see something through.

Unlikely the people that start these 100 companies, across totally disparate fields, and care enough to take them to market are staff members at OpenAI.

And it's already obvious a single company can't split its attention enough to do tons of disparate things well (see OpenAI's previous attempts at Atlas, the social network, Dots, etc)

Starling also has a disaster recovery system across cloud providers, although it is implemented differently to Monzo's (I used to work there on multi-cloud).

Multi-cloud is really tough, tbh. It's easier said than done, especially if you care about data consistency at all.

It's a pretty good source ime (at least, massive spikes tend to correlate well with issues). Traditional organisations aren't as transparent as SF tech companies about service downtime. Plus, if the service isn't working for its users, I wouldn't say it's actually up.

Don’t think Russia is likely to bomb Germany, or any of Western Europe. Ireland, UK, France, Netherlands also seem like safe places to house datacentres.

It sounds like Jev is not a generative model. If true, I don’t understand these clones which fine-tune a generative model, which appears to not be what Jev is doing.
