I saw that the #yandex #taxi #service in #russia was #diverted to create a #traffic #jam in #moscow https://cybernews.com/cyber-war/hackers-.. Apparently this was caused by #hackers ... Hopefully this wasn't a #state #funded #attack as that would have quite big #implications for those #actors #involved .
Pretty cool that #yandex have #opensourced a 100 #billion #parameter #model https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B That said, you need a #supercomputer to actually run the thing.
Interesting, #yandex , the #google of #russia appears to have *massive* #problems as #nasdaq have #suspended their #trading https://ir.yandex/press-releases?year=20.. Apparently #bondholders are about to start asking for about $1 #billion #dollars from a #company worth about a #third of that #value ...
At this point I'm quite concerned about the future of the #internet with #ddos attacks becoming increasingly more capable: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/kreb.. This new #meris #ddos knocked out #yandex ( #russian #searchengine ), #cloudflare and #krebsonsecurity ... It seems like the small internet (personal #blogs etc) are doomed to be yeeted off the face of the internet.
