Do you want to build a clone of The New York Times, or the publication’s now-famed Wordle mini-game? You can probably do that now, thanks to a 4chan user.
The Register reports an anonymous 4chan user posted a new thread in which they shared “basically all source code belonging to The New York Time Company”.
At the Google I/O developer conference on Tuesday, Google announced an addition to its Firebase platform that aims to make it easier for developers to build AI-powered applications in JavaScript/TypeScript, with Go support coming soon.
Firebase Genkit is an open source framework, using the Apache 2.0 license, that enables developers to quickly build AI into new and existing applications.
Some of the use cases for Genkit that the company is highlighting Tuesday include many of the standard generative AI use cases: content generation and summarization, text translation and generating images.
“Powerful large language models put AI-powered app features within reach, but building and refining these features beyond a prototype is hard,” Google product manager Chris Gill and developer…

Without an efficient way to squeeze additional computing power from existing infrastructure, organizations are often forced to purchase additional hardware or delay projects. This can lead to longer wait times for results and potentially losing out to competitors. This problem is compounded by the rise of AI workloads which require a high GPU compute load.
ClearML has come up with what it thinks is the perfect solution to this problem – fractional GPU capability for open source users, making it possible to “split” a single GPU so it can run multiple AI tasks simultaneously.
Why it matters: Security researchers regularly scan the internet in search of unprotected servers or exposed “secrets” belonging to major industry players. However, what RedHunt Labs recently discovered goes far beyond a simple insecure server hosting some confidential data.
UK-based security company RedHunt Labs recently discovered an authentication token belonging to a Mercedes-Benz employee. The token was hosted in a public GitHub repository, as stated by RedHunt co-founder Shubham Mittal, and it could have been exploited to gain “unrestricted access” to business secrets and other crucial authentication credentials of the German automotive giant.
RedHunt identified the exposed authentication token during a routine internet scan in January, but the token itself had been published…
