SOM UNVEILS DESIGN FOR ALIBABA-BACKED TOWER SET TO BE SINGAPORE’S TALLEST BUILDING
American architecture giant Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has revealed its design for an Alibaba-backed tower soaring 350 metres (1,148 feet) in height to become Singapore’s tallest skyscraper upon completion.
The 63-storey mixed-use development at 8 Shenton Way in the Tanjong Pagar area will comprise more than 148,000 square metres (1.6 million square feet) of floor space for office, retail, hotel and luxury residential use, as well as 10,000 square metres of elevated, public green space, Chicago-based SOM said Thursday in a release.
The supertall project will feature direct underground connectivity to Tanjong Pagar MRT station and is seeking the top-level Green Mark Platinum certification from the Building Construction Authority of Singapore, with extensive use of natural materials like zero-waste terracotta and engineered bamboo.
Tumblr media
“Designed specifically with the tropical climate of Singapore in mind, this building will be one of the first post-pandemic mixed-use towers in the world incorporating health and wellness as its primary design drivers,” said SOM partner Mustafa Abadan. “By seeking to achieve the city’s newest and most rigorous sustainability standards, our design will establish a new paradigm for resilient and elegant high-rise design in Singapore and beyond.”

Obey Me! Random Headcanon #17
The Undates' + Luke's favorite anime.
Diavolo
Relatively well-known - Gintama; it's playful, asinine, and serious all at the same time; he loves the chaos and the fourth-wall breaking. His favorite parts are those where Gintoki and Hijikata are both featured.
More obscure - Magi; he loves the entire storyline, as well as all the major characters, but if he were forced to pick one, Morgiana would be his favorite. He ardently roots for her and quietly ships her with Alibaba. (Don't let him talk to Levi about that; he will throw a party.)
Barbatos
Relatively well-known - Elfen Lied ; Leave it to Barb to enjoy the infamous one, but Elfen Lied catches his fancy because of its brutal exploration of human nature. His favorite character is Kaede (Lucy/Nyu), who ignited a particularly vicious bone in his body.
More obscure - Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) ; Another callous discourse on human nature, and he has off-handedly remarked that many of the seven brothers would have been dragged off to the anime's version of Hell long already, a fact which he finds amusing.
Simeon
Well-known - Hunter x Hunter ; He's in it for both Gon and Hisoka. Gon, because he admires his resilience, and Hisoka because his character makes him itch to write even more bizarre characters.
More obscure - Trigun (1998 ver.) ; It's an oldie, a goodie, and fairly unique. He loves Vash and his ideals, and he once likened him to Lucifer, if Lucifer hadn't become hardened and cynical (the person in question did not appreciate this comparison).
Luke
Well-known - Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.) ; he laughs at some of the ridiculous things Kusuo has to deal with, but he thinks Kusuo is too mean and arrogant. He likes Kaidou because the Chuunibyou sufferer ultimately has a good heart.
More obscure - Sakamoto desu ga? (Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto.) ; another comedy anime, Luke initially had a preference for Yoshinobu before Sakamoto grew on him due to his acts of kindness and coolness. (Yes, he hummed the opening a lot.)
Solomon
Well-known - Chainsaw Man ; he initially wasn't interested until around the second or third episode. He stayed for Makima because she made him curious and soon found himself swept into the story that was more complex than Denji might have made it out to be.
More obscure - The Ancient Magus' Bride ; he thinks the story is sweet, particularly Chise's consistent exposure to the wonder of the world. He was pleasantly surprised by the turns the anime took.
Tumblr media
-- Caramel: I had more difficulty finding well-known anime that suited this batch. --

The latest in a series of duels announced by the European Commission is with Bing, Microsoft’s search engine. Brussels suspects that the giant based in Redmond, Washington, has failed to properly moderate content produced by the generative AI systems on Bing, Copilot, and Image Creator, and that as a result, it may have violated the Digital Services Act (DSA), one of Europe’s latest digital regulations.
On May 17, the EU summit requested company documents to understand how Microsoft handled the spread of hallucinations (inaccurate or nonsensical answers produced by AI), deepfakes, and attempts to improperly influence the upcoming European Parliament elections. At the beginning of June, voters in the 27 states of the European Union will choose their representatives to the European Parliament, in a campaign over which looms the ominous shadow of technology with its potential to manipulate the outcome. The commission has given Microsoft until May 27 to respond, only days before voters go to the polls. If there is a need to correct course, it may likely be too late.
Europe’s Strategy
Over the past few months, the European Commission has started to bang its fists on the table when dealing with the big digital giants, almost all of them based in the US or China. This isn’t the first time. In 2022, the European Union hit Google with a fine of €4.1 billion because of its market dominance thanks to its Android system, marking the end of an investigation that started in 2015. In 2023, it sanctioned Meta with a fine of €1.2 billion for violating the GDPR, the EU’s data protection regulations. And in March it presented Apple with a sanction of €1.8 billion.
Recently, however, there appears to have been a change in strategy. Sanctions continue to be available as a last resort when Big Tech companies don’t bend to the wishes of Brussels, but now the European Commission is aiming to take a closer look at Big Tech, find out how it operates, and modify it as needed, before imposing fines. Take, for example, Europe’s Digital Services Act, which attempts to impose transparency in areas like algorithms and advertising, fight online harassment and disinformation, protect minors, stop user profiling, and eliminate dark patterns (design features intended to manipulate our choices on the web).
In 2023, Brussels identified 22 multinationals that, due to their size, would be the focus of its initial efforts: Google with its four major services (search, shopping, maps, and play), YouTube, Meta with Instagram and Facebook, Bing, X (formerly Twitter), Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Amazon, Booking, Wikipedia, Apple’s App Store, TikTok, Alibaba, Zalando, and the porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat. Since then, it has been putting the pressure on these companies to cooperate with its regulatory regime.
The day before the Bing investigation was announced, the commission also opened one into Meta to determine what the multinational is doing to protect minors on Facebook and Instagram and counter the “rabbit hole” effect—that is, the seamless flood of content that demands users’ attention, and which can be especially appealing to younger people. That same concern led it to block the launch of TikTok Lite in Europe, deeming its system for rewarding social engagement dangerous and a means of encouraging addictive behavior. It has asked X to increase its content moderation, LinkedIn to explain how its ad system works, and AliExpress to defend its refund and complaint processes.
A Mountain of Laws …
On one hand, the message appears to be that no one will escape the reach of Brussels. On the other, the European Commission, led by President Ursula von der Leyen, has to demonstrate that the many digital laws and regulations that are in place actually produce positive results. In addition to the DSA, there is the Digital Markets Act (DMA), intended to counterbalance the dominance of Big Tech in online markets; the AI Act, Europe’s flagship legislation on artificial intelligence; and the Data Governance Act (DGA) and the Data Act, which address data protection and the use of data in the public and private sectors. Also to be added to the list are the updated cybersecurity package, NIS2 (Network and Information Security); the Digital Operational Resilience Act, focused on finance and insurance; and the digital identity package within eIDAS 2. Still in the draft stage are regulations on health data spaces and much-debated chat measures which would authorize law enforcement agencies and platforms to scan citizens’ private messages, looking for child pornography.
Brussels has deployed its heavy artillery against the digital flagships of the United States and China, and a few successful blows have landed, such as ByteDance’s suspension of the gamification feature on TikTok Lite following its release in France and Spain. But the future is uncertain and complicated. While investigations attract media interest, the EU’s digital bureaucracy is a large and complex machine to run.
On February 17, the DSA became law for all online service operators (cloud and hosting providers, search engines, e-commerce, and online services) but the European Commission doesn’t and can’t control everything. That is why it asked states to appoint a local authority to serve as a coordinator of digital services. Five months later, Brussels had to send a formal notice to six states (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Poland, Portugal, and Slovakia) to urge them to designate and fully empower their digital services coordinators. Those countries now have two months to comply before Brussels will intervene. But there are others who are also not in the clear. For example, Italy’s digital services coordinator, the Communications Regulatory Authority (abbreviated AGCOM, for Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni, in Italian), needs to recruit 23 new employees to replenish its staff. The department told WIRED Italy that it expects to have filled all of its appointments by mid-June.
The DSA also introduced “trusted flaggers.” These are individuals or entities, such as universities, associations, and fact-checkers, committed to combating online hatred, internet harassment, illegal content, and the spread of scams and fake news. Their reports are, one hopes, trustworthy. The selection of trusted flaggers is up to local authorities but, to date, only Finland has formalized the appointment of one, specifically Tekijänoikeuden tiedotus- ja valvontakeskus ry (in English, the Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Center). Its executive director, Jaana Pihkala, explained to WIRED Italy that their task is “to produce reports on copyright infringements,” a subject on which the association has 40 years of experience. Since its appointment as a trusted flagger, the center’s two lawyers, who perform all of its functions, have sent 816 alerts to protect films, TV series, and books on behalf of Finnish copyright holders.
… and a Mountain of Data
To assure that the new commission is respected by the 27 states, the commission set up the DSA surveillance system as quickly as possible, but the bureaucrats in Brussels still have a formidable amount of research to do. On the one hand, there is the anonymous reporting platform with which the commission hopes to build dossiers on the operations of different platforms directly from internal sources. The biggest scandals that have shaken Meta have been thanks to former employees, like Christopher Wylie, the analyst who revealed how Cambridge Analytica attempted to influence the US elections, and Frances Haugen, who shared documents about the impacts of Instagram and Facebook on children’s health. The DSA, however, intends to empower and fund the commission so that it can have its own people capable of sifting through documents and data, analyzing the content, and deciding whether to act.
The commission boasts that the DSA will force platforms to be transparent. And indeed it can point to some successes already, for example, by revealing the absurdly inadequate numbers of moderators employed by platforms. According to the latest data released last November, they don’t even cover all the languages spoken in the European Union. X reported that it had only two people to check content in Italian, the language of 9.1 million users. There were no moderators for Greek, Finnish, or Romanian even though each language has more than 2 million subscribers. AliExpress moderates everything in English while, for other languages, it makes do with automatic translators. LinkedIn moderates content in 12 languages of the European bloc—that is, just half of the official languages.
At the same time, the commission has forced large platforms to standardize their reports of moderation interventions to feed a large database, which, at the time of writing this article, contains more than 18.2 billion records. Of these cases, 69 percent were handled automatically. But, perhaps surprisingly, 92 percent concerned Google Shopping. This is because the platform uses various parameters to determine whether a product can be featured: the risk that it is counterfeited, possible violations of site standards, prohibited goods, dangerous materials, and others. It can thus be the case that several alerts are triggered for the same product and the DSA database counts each one separately, multiplying the shopping numbers exponentially. So now the EU has a mass of data that further complicates its goal of being fully transparent.
Zalando’s Numbers
And then there’s the Big Tech companies’ legal battle against the fee they have to pay to the commission to help underwrite its supervisory bodies. Meta, TikTok, and Zalando have challenged the fee (though paid it). Zalando is also the only European company on the commission’s list of large platforms, a designation Zalando has always contested because it does not believe it meets the criteria used by Brussels. One example: The platforms on the list must have at least 45 million monthly users in Europe. The commission argues that Zalando has 83 million users, though that number, for example, includes visits from Portugal, where the platform is not marketed, and Zalando argues those users should be deducted from its total count. According to its calculations, the activities subject to the DSA reach only 31 million users, under the threshold. When Zalando was assessed its fee, it discovered that the commission had based it on a figure of 47.5 million users, far below the initial 83 million. The company has now taken the commission to court in an attempt to assure a transparent process.
And this is just one piece of legislation, the DSA. The commission has also deployed the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a package of regulations to counterbalance Big Tech’s market dominance, requiring that certain services be interoperable with those of other companies, that apps that come loaded on a device by default can be uninstalled, and that data collected on large platforms be shared with small- and medium-size companies. Again, the push to impose these mandates starts with the giants: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, ByteDance, and Microsoft. In May, Booking was added to the list.
Big Tech Responds
Platforms have started to respond to EU requests, with lukewarm results. WhatsApp, for instance, has been redesigned to allow chatting with other apps without compromising its end-to-end encryption that protects the privacy and security of users, but it is still unclear who will agree to connect to it. WIRED US reached out to 10 messaging companies, including Google, Telegram, Viber, and Signal, to ask whether they intend to look at interoperability and whether they had worked with WhatsApp on its plans. The majority didn’t respond to the request for comment. Those that did, Snap and Discord, said they had nothing to add. Apple had to accept sideloading—i.e., the possibility of installing and updating iPhone or iPad applications from stores outside the official one. However, the first alternative that emerged, AltStore, offers very few apps at this time. And it has suffered some negative publicity after refusing to accept the latest version of its archenemy Spotify’s app, despite the fact that the audio platform had removed the link to its website for subscriptions.
The DMA is a regulation that has the potential to break the dominant positions of Big Tech companies, but that outcome is not a given. Take the issue of surveillance: The commission has funds to pay the salaries of 80 employees, compared to the 120 requested by Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton and the 220 requested by the European Parliament, as summarized by Bruegel in 2022. And on the website of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), Adam Kovacevich, founder and CEO of Chamber of Progress, a politically left-wing tech industry coalition (all of the digital giants, which also fund CEPA, are members), stated that the DMA, “instead of helping consumers, aims to help competitors. The DMA is making large tech firms’ services less useful, less secure, and less family-friendly. Europeans’ experience of large tech firms’ services is about to get worse compared to the experience of Americans and other non-Europeans.”
Kovacevich represents an association financed by some of those same companies that the DMA is focused on, and there is a shared fear that the DMA will complicate the market and, in the end, benefit only a few companies—not necessarily those most at risk because of the dominance of Silicon Valley. It is not only lawsuits and fines, but also the perceptions of citizens and businesses that will help to determine whether EU regulations are successful. The results may come more slowly than desired by Brussels as new legislation is rarely positively received at first.
Learning From GDPR and Gaia-X
Another regulatory act, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has become the global industry standard, forcing online operators to change the way they handle our data. But if you ask the typical person on the street, they’ll likely tell you it’s just a simple cookie wall that you have to approve before continuing on to a webpage. Or it’s viewed as a law that has required the retention of dedicated external consultants on the part of companies. It is rarely described as the ultimate online privacy law, which is exactly what it is. That said, while the act has reshaped the privacy landscape, there have been challenges, as the digital rights association Noyb has explained. The privacy commissioners of Ireland and Luxembourg, where many web giants are based for tax purposes, have had bottlenecks in investigating violations. According to the latest figures from Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), 19,581 complaints have been submitted in the past five years, but the body has made only 37 formal decisions and only eight of those began with complaints. Noyb recently conducted a survey of 1,000 data protection officers; 74 percent were convinced that if privacy officers investigated the typical European company, they would find at least one GDPR violation.
The GDPR was also the impetus for another unsuccessful operation: separating the European cloud from the US cloud in order to shelter the data of EU citizens from Washington’s Cloud Act. In 2019, France and Germany announced with great fanfare a federation, Gaia-X, that would defend the continent and provide a response to the cloud market, which has been split between the United States and China. Five years later, the project has become bogged down in the process of establishing standards, after the entry of the giants it was supposed to counter, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Huawei, and Alibaba, as well as the controversial American company Palantir (which analyses data for defense purposes). This led some of the founders, such as the French cloud operator Scaleway, to flee, and that then turned the spotlight on the European Parliament, which led the commission to launch an alternative, the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud, which counts among its 49 members 26 participants from Gaia-X (everyone except for the non-EU giants) and enjoys EU financial support.
In the meantime, the Big Tech giants have found a solution that satisfies European wishes, investing en masse to establish data centers on EU soil. According to a study by consultancy firm Roland Berger, 34 data center transactions were finalized in 2023, growing at an average annual rate of 29.7 percent since 2019. According to Mordor Intelligence, another market analysis company, the sector in Europe will grow from €35.4 billion in 2024 to an estimated €57.7 billion in 2029. In recent weeks, Amazon web services announced €7.8 billion in investments in Germany. WIRED Italy has reported on Amazon’s interest in joining the list of accredited operators to host critical public administration data in Italy, which already includes Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. Notwithstanding its proclamations about sovereignty, Brussels has had to capitulate: The cloud is in the hands of the giants from the United States who have found themselves way ahead of their Chinese competitors after diplomatic relations between Beijing and Brussels cooled.
The AI Challenge
The newest front in this digital battle is artificial intelligence. Here, too, the European Union has been the first to come up with some rules under its AI Act, the first legislation to address the different applications of this technology and establish permitted and prohibited uses based on risk assessments. The commission does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. Mindful of the launch of the GDPR, which in 2018 caused companies to scramble to assure they were compliant, it wants to lead organizations through a period of voluntary adjustment. Already 400 companies have declared their interest in joining the effort, including IBM.
In the meantime, Brussels must build a number of structures to make the AI Act work. First is the AI Council. It will have one representative from each country and will be divided into two subgroups, one dedicated to market development and the other to public sector uses of AI. In addition, it will be joined by a committee of technical advisers and an independent committee of scientists and experts, along the lines of the UN Climate Committee. Secondly, the AI Office, which sits within Directorate-General Connect (the department in charge of digital technology), will take care of administrative aspects of the AI Act. The office will assure that the act is applied uniformly, investigate alleged violations, establish codes of conduct, and classify artificial intelligence models that pose a systemic risk. Once the rules are established, research on new technologies can proceed. After it is fully operational, the office will employ 100 people, some of them redeployed from General Connect while others will be new hires. At the moment, the office is looking to hire six administrative staff and an unknown number of tech experts.
On May 29, the first round of bids in support of the regulation expired. These included the AI Innovation Accelerator, a center that provides training, technical standards, and software and tools to promote research, support startups and small- and medium-sized enterprises, and assist public authorities that have to supervise AI. A total of €6 million is on the table. Another €2 million will finance management and €1.5 million will go to the EU’s AI testing facilities, which will, on behalf of countries’ antitrust authorities, analyze artificial intelligence models and products on the market to assure that they comply with EU rules.
Follow the Money
Finally, a total of €54 million is designated for a number of business initiatives. The EU knows it is lagging behind. According to an April report by the European Parliament’s research service, which provides data and intelligence to support legislative activities, the global AI market, which in 2023 was estimated at €130 billion, will reach close to €1.9 trillion in 2030. The lion’s share is in the United States, with €44 billion of private investment in 2022, followed by China with €12 billion. Overall, the European Union and the United Kingdom attracted €10.2 billion in the same year. According to Eurochamber researchers, between 2018 and the third quarter of 2023, US AI companies received €120 billion in investment, compared to €32.5 billion for European ones.
Europe wants to counter the advance of the new AI giants with an open source model, and it has also made its network of supercomputers available to startups and universities to train algorithms. First, however, it had to adapt to the needs of the sector, investing almost €400 million in graphics cards, which, given the current boom in demand, will not arrive anytime soon.
Among other projects to support the European AI market, the commission wants to use €24 million to launch a Language Technology Alliance that would bring together companies from different states to develop a generative AI to compete with ChatGPT and similar tools. It’s an initiative that closely resembles Gaia-X. Another €25 million is earmarked for the creation of a large open source language model, available to European companies to develop new services and research projects. The commission intends to fund several models and ultimately choose the one best suited to Europe’s needs. Overall, during the period from 2021 to 2027, the Digital Europe Program plans to spend €2.1 billion on AI. That figure may sound impressive, but it pales in comparison to the €10 billion that a single company, Microsoft, invested in OpenAI.
The €25 million being spent on the European large language model effort, if distributed to many smaller projects, risks not even counterbalancing the €15 million that Microsoft has spent bringing France’s Mistral, Europe’s most talked-about AI startup, into its orbit. The big AI models will become presences in Brussels as soon as the AI Act, now finally approved, comes into full force. In short, the commission is making it clear in every way it can that a new sheriff is in town. But will the bureaucrats of Brussels be adequately armed to take on Big Tech? Only one thing is certain—it’s not going to be an easy task.

Valkey 7.2 On Memorystore: Open-Source Key-Value Service
Tumblr media
The 100% open-source key-value service Memorystore for Valkey is launched by Google Cloud.
In order to give users a high-performance, genuinely open-source key-value service, the Memorystore team is happy to announce the preview launch of Valkey 7.2 support for Memorystore.
Memorystore for Valkey
A completely managed Valkey Cluster service for Google Cloud is called Memorystore for Valkey. By utilizing the highly scalable, reliable, and secure Valkey service, Google Cloud applications may achieve exceptional performance without having to worry about handling intricate Valkey deployments.
In order to guarantee high availability, Memorystore for Valkey distributes (or “shards”) your data among the primary nodes and duplicates it among the optional replica nodes. Because Valkey performance is greater on many smaller nodes rather than fewer bigger nodes, the horizontally scalable architecture outperforms the vertically scalable architecture in terms of performance.
Memorystore for Valkey is a game-changer for enterprises looking for high-performance data management solutions reliant on 100% open source software. It was added to the Memorystore portfolio in response to customer demand, along with Memorystore for Redis Cluster and Memorystore for Redis. From the console or gcloud, users can now quickly and simply construct a fully-managed Valkey Cluster, which they can then scale up or down to suit the demands of their workloads.
Thanks to its outstanding performance, scalability, and flexibility, Valkey has quickly gained popularity as an open-source key-value datastore. Valkey 7.2 provides Google Cloud users with a genuinely open source solution via the Linux Foundation. It is fully compatible with Redis 7.2 and the most widely used Redis clients, including Jedis, redis-py, node-redis, and go-redis.
Valkey is already being used by customers to replace their key-value software, and it is being used for common use cases such as caching, session management, real-time analytics, and many more.
Customers may enjoy a nearly comparable (and code-compatible) Valkey Cluster experience with Memorystore for Valkey, which launches with all the GA capabilities of Memorystore for Redis Cluster. Similar to Memorystore for Redis Cluster, Memorystore for Valkey provides RDB and AOF persistence, zero-downtime scaling in and out, single- or multi-zone clusters, instantaneous integrations with Google Cloud, extremely low and dependable performance, and much more. Instances up to 14.5 TB are also available.
Memorystore for Valkey, Memorystore for Redis Cluster, and Memorystore for Redis have an exciting roadmap of features and capabilities.
The momentum of Valkey
Just days after Redis Inc. withdrew the Redis open-source license, the open-source community launched Valkey in collaboration with the Linux Foundation in March 2024 (1, 2, 3). Since then, they have had the pleasure of working with developers and businesses worldwide to propel Valkey into the forefront of key-value data stores and establish it as a premier open source software (OSS) project. Google Cloud is excited to participate in this community launch with partners and industry experts like Snap, Ericsson, AWS, Verizon, Alibaba Cloud, Aiven, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Oracle, Percona, Ampere, AlmaLinux OS Foundation, DigitalOcean, Broadcom, Memurai, Instaclustr from NetApp, and numerous others. They fervently support open source software.
The Valkey community has grown into a thriving group committed to developing Valkey the greatest open source key-value service available thanks to the support of thousands of enthusiastic developers and the former core OSS Redis maintainers who were not hired by Redis Inc.
With more than 100 million unique active users each month, Mercado Libre is the biggest finance, logistics, and e-commerce company in Latin America. Diego Delgado discusses Valkey with Mercado Libre as a Software Senior Expert:
At Mercado Libre, Google Cloud need to handle billions of requests per minute with minimal latency, which makes caching solutions essential. Google Cloud especially thrilled about the cutting-edge possibilities that Valkey offers. They have excited to investigate its fresh features and add to this open-source endeavor.”
The finest is still to come
By releasing Memorystore for Valkey 7.2, Memorystore offers more than only Redis Cluster, Redis, and Memcached. And Google Cloud is even more eager about Valkey 8.0’s revolutionary features. Major improvements in five important areas performance, reliability, replication, observability, and efficiency were introduced by the community in the first release candidate of Valkey 8.0. With a single click or command, users will be able to accept Valkey 7.2 and later upgrade to Valkey 8.0. Additionally, Valkey 8.0 is compatible with Redis 7.2, exactly like Valkey 7.2 was, guaranteeing a seamless transition for users.
The performance improvements in Valkey 8.0 are possibly the most intriguing ones. Asynchronous I/O threading allows commands to be processed in parallel, which can lead to multi-core nodes working at a rate that is more than twice as fast as Redis 7.2. From a reliability perspective, a number of improvements provided by Google, such as replicating slot migration states, guaranteeing automatic failover for empty shards, and ensuring slot state recovery is handled, significantly increase the dependability of Cluster scaling operations. The anticipation for Valkey 8.0 is already fueling the demand for Valkey 7.2 on Memorystore, with a plethora of further advancements across several dimensions (release notes).
Similar to how Redis previously expanded capability through modules with restricted licensing, the community is also speeding up the development of Valkey’s capabilities through open-source additions that complement and extend Valkey’s functionality. The capabilities covered by recently published RFCs (“Request for Comments”) include vector search for extremely high performance vector similarly search, JSON for native JSON support, and BloomFilters for high performance and space-efficient probabilistic filters.
Former vice president of Gartner and principal analyst of SanjMo Sanjeev Mohan offers his viewpoint:
The advancement of community-led initiatives to offer feature-rich, open-source database substitutes depends on Valkey. Another illustration of Google’s commitment to offering really open and accessible solutions for customers is the introduction of Valkey support in Memorystore. In addition to helping developers looking for flexibility, their contributions to Valkey also support the larger open-source ecosystem.
It seems obvious that Valkey is going to be a game-changer in the high-performance data management area with all of the innovation in Valkey 8.0, as well as the open-source improvements like vector search and JSON, and for client libraries.
Valkey is the secret to an OSS future
Take a look at Memorystore for Valkey right now, and use the UI console or a straightforward gcloud command to establish your first cluster. Benefit from OSS Redis compatibility to simply port over your apps and scale in or out without any downtime.

Tumblr media
Certain anime shows stand out from the crowd, captivating audiences all over the world with their engaging stories and magnificent visuals. However, among the spotlight, there are hidden gems, aka underrated anime programs, that go unrecognized but have the same amount of brilliance and inventiveness. These hidden icons of the anime industry are just waiting to be discovered by fans seeking new adventures and experiences.
Natsume Yuujinchou
One such hidden gem is "Natsume Yuujinchou." If you enjoyed the peaceful and otherworldly atmosphere of "Studio Ghibli" Productions, then "Natsume Yuujinchou" is an anime you won't want to miss. This touching tale follows Natsume Takashi, an eleven-year-old who can see spirits with their own stories and struggles. It revolves around Natsume's journey for understanding and acceptance. Despite his ability to talk to spirits, Natsume longs for a sense of belonging in a world where he feels like an outcast. However, he still finds ways to learn valuable lessons about compassion, and the importance of human connections from his spirits. Through its gentle exploration of themes like loneliness and acceptance, "Natsume " offers a deeply enriching viewing experience reminiscent of "Studio Ghibli" shows.
Tumblr media
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic
If you were attracted by "Hunter x Hunter's" advanced world-building and strategic fights, you may find "Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic" to be a compelling alternative to watch for the night. Set in a mythical setting inspired by the stories of "One Thousand and One Nights," "Magi" follows the adventures of Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana as the three unexpected partners go on a quest to uncover the secrets of mysterious dungeons spread across the land and face the evils threatening their world. From epic battles and magical showdowns to intricate schemes and power struggles, "Magi" offers a gripping narrative that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. With its mix of action, magic, and political intrigue, "Magi" tells a captivating story that will leave fans of "Hunter x Hunter" wanting more.
Tumblr media
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
If you have been drawn into the world of Naruto, following the journey of a young ninja seeking recognition and acceptance, then "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" is an anime that will certainly steal your heart as well. This series features Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, an ordinary high school student who learns he is the heir of a powerful mafia family. Tsuna grows significantly, similar to Naruto's yearning for belonging, as he learns to become a mafia leader under the direction of his eccentric professor, Reborn. With its mix of action, humor, and heartwarming moments, "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" provides a thrilling and emotionally resonant experience that will have a lasting effect, just as Naruto's journey did for countless fans.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, while successful anime series frequently capture attention, there is an abundance of underappreciated gems waiting to be found by fans. Whether you prefer the tranquil beauty of "Mushi-Shi," or the exciting fights of "Hunter x Hunter," there is an underappreciated anime series out there that will grab your heart and imagination. So, if you like some of the more renowned anime classics, you'll undoubtedly fall in love with these hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

OK I HAVE THIS VERY I JUST WANNA DRAW MAGI CHARACHTERS AS ANIMAL HYBRIDS HC WERE
Essentially you now how wen people are a medal vessel and they turn into an animal or died that way what if you now how they come back and stuff and go back to human I would like to imagine that they still have a bit of there animal things with them.
Now this also applies to people who died and then came back and had a djin or a djin was keeping them alive or something and now that djin is BASICLLY gone because there’s no magic people like alibaba and especially Sinbad because he literally does not have a body in the living world so they just have a bit of there dijin like alibaba would be a dragon but could hide it like he could put it away and they poof it back out, maybe wen his emotions get out of control or he relaxes it comes out but I just think it’s fun to have dragon hybrids and goat/bird hybrids walking around idk feels like it would happen cause I think that the rukh are still kinda made out of the people they would still have the stuff that turned them into it they just can’t use it
and these hybrid features don’t even help them it gives them random instincts and if they have wings it’s to small to fly so it’s kind of just a Annoyance but a lot of people don’t mind it and ide like to imagine drakon would not care because he’s BASICLLY been a dragon his whole life
i will die on the hill that alibaba is a fluffy dragon and Sinbad is a scaly one like his djin I forgot his name and then Mystras would mainly both have wings and goat features cause idk I always saw him as a red bird but he turned into a mountain goat or some type of goat and I just mixed them I feel like he slips a lot but that’s it you can add onto this I think it’s cool and I’ve had it ever sense I finished magi

"Hey hey, I guess I'm even pretty popular around here too, even if I dont know anything about you. But thats okay, because if a pretty girl and a cute boy know about Alibaba, it makes me super happy, you know?" he'd clap his hands together, eyes closed as he smiled behind that translucent veil. If his reputation proceeded him (even if the details were a little wrong), then that'd make things all the more easy!
"ahhh, but you're both really super cute, you know? Alibaba's favorite color is blue, you know?" he'd casually waltz up, circling around the taller gardevoir, admiring all of her features with a sparkle in his eyes. "Plus super tall ladies really are the best too."
"And you!" he'd go over to Luna next and take his hands in his, beaming up at him. "Even though you and miss blue look a bit the same, Alibaba knows a cute boy when he sees one! So charming and handsome too, you know? Alibaba could just kiss you, you know?" and in fact he'd go right ahead and do just that, right on the lips. The pretty boy thief didn't seem to mind too much others personal space but, hey, he was just so darn cute that it was fine, ya know?
"Hey hey, you two should tell Alibaba your names! Its only fair, you know? Two pretty treasures like you have to have even cuter names, you know?"

How to choose an equitable flutter app development company in India?
Numerous things regarding Flutter would have been mentioned to you. Flutter, according to some, is the technology of the future. Others believe Flutter programming to be a breeze, while some claim that the apps created using Flutter, win a lot of awards. Yes, Flutter is genuinely winning people over, and its popularity says a lot about it. Many companies have embraced technology, like Alibaba, Tencent, Hamilton Musical, Reflectly, as well as an unending list of other popular Flutter App development companies in Vadodara.
Tumblr media
With the help of this cross-platform framework, next-generation applications with unparalleled and incredibly dependable mobile UI may be created. The fact that native interfaces can be cross-platform and have high levels of quality is wonderful. 
Do you want to create one for your startup company? Don't know what advantages it provides? Do you have trouble deciding which Flutter app development firm to hire? Do not fret. We have addressed each of these concerns in this article and provided clear solutions. Let's begin with a quick overview of Flutter. 
Flutter:
Google created the open-source, cross-platform programming tool called Flutter. It offers every service under one roof. Beautiful programmes that function on various platforms and have a native-like feel are possible. 
We have already talked about how the most recent Flutter version 1.20 is gaining popularity. After, Flutter is ranked third. In the list of most favoured frameworks from the poll are Net Core and Torch. 
The programming language used by Flutter, Dart, has a simple learning curve. One codebase can be created and used across various platforms. Flutter is simple to use, strong, and capable of handling all project complexity levels. It makes developers more productive and enables them to create applications more quickly. 
One needs to be aware of the Flutter advantages that a Flutter App development company in Gujarat offers in order to maximize them. 
·         Single Codebase:
·         Faster coding:
·         Better speed:
·         Rich Widgets:
·         Google Firebase support:
·         Faster testing:
·         Abundant libraries:
·         Easy learning curve:
·         Cost-effective app management: 
How to choose an equitable Flutter App Development Company in India?
Choosing an excellent Flutter App development company in India that can assist you in offering dynamic and new-age mobile app solutions is not an easy task. The chosen business should have a wealth of experience and provide services at competitive rates. Before you begin the process of choosing a development partner, you need to take a few factors into account. 
·         Determine your precise business needs: 
You need to be aware of your business expectations, as we have emphasised numerous times. What you hope to accomplish, how you plan to do it, and why you want to. You should know the answers to these most common questions before you contact a potential app development business. 
So that the answers do not surprise you, the plan should at the very least be comprehensible. Some pertinent queries to consider for oneself are 
·         What features would you like to integrate?
·         Which platform would you like to target?
·         Who are your ideal clients? 
·         Specify your budget: 
You must specify the financial budget you have set aside for app development. It is preferable to consult it with your potential employer. Request quotes from several businesses and compares the costs and the facility. You can also conduct a search on the internet to learn how much other businesses charge. 
However, you must remember that as you switch to a developing country, the cost will alter. 
·         Shortlist your preferred options: 
Now is the time to start looking for options after having a better grasp of the sector. You might enquire about references from your friends and family. Make a note of the businesses you have been referred to, then start looking through their websites. Keep an eye out for every minute detail and make note of any noteworthy observations. 
Explore services and portfolios of top Flutter App development companies in Vadodara by visiting their websites and it will help you to shortlist a few of your preferred business options in this manner, from which you can subsequently select one. 
·         Verify the company's size: 
Although this exercise doesn't have a significant impact on the choice, it's always a good idea to perform some background research. You can see if they can handle a project that matches your magnitude from the staffing information. Because a business with fewer staff could get overworked, which also affects the calibre of applications. 
Additionally, it would be fantastic if you could learn more about the development team's skill set. Knowing the history of the skill set can help you set reasonable expectations. 
·         Verify the cost and prompt delivery: 
Although it can appear too straight, you must inquire about their turnaround time. This is so they won't let you down by making up justifications. You can also look at their web reviews if you don't feel comfortable approaching them personally. 
Verify to see whether they have been reported for missing deadlines. Make sure they have a strong team and a time-management plan in place. 
Having said that, a short response time doesn't necessarily indicate that the business charges more. At the outset of the conversation, make the financial restrictions with them fairly obvious. 
·         Sales Support: 
Additionally, we have emphasised time and time again that the development company's responsibility extends beyond simply delivering the finished product. Pitfalls within their duty to handle all future support-related inquiries. When they run into technological problems, they should offer to fix them. Find out whether they offer upgrading facilities. 
·         Examine the reputation: 
With the advent of the internet, it is now much simpler to learn any specifics about a firm or a person. Therefore, thoroughly investigate your potential development partner. Keep an eye on their social media accounts to learn more about how they operate. Examine the testimonies and ratings posted on online platforms. 
·         Final Thoughts: 
The online environment has been subdued by Flutter's innovative apps. It is a state-of-the-art framework that can assist developers in creating the majority of high-grade apps. We wholeheartedly concur with this. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with our experts at Nivida Web Solutions Pvt. Ltd. - a popular Flutter App development company in India, if you have any doubts about Flutter. We have the know-how and a track record of developing excellent Flutter apps. We are able to manage all the Flutter-related difficulties and enable you to achieve your project objectives.

"Unveiling the Unstoppable Surge of TikTok: How This Global Phenomenon is Revolutionizing Social Media, Commerce, and Beyond!"
Diving Deep into TikTok's Unstoppable Revolution: Witnessing the Phenomenon That's Reshaping Social Media, Commerce, and More - A Must-Read Journey! TikTok's meteoric rise is not only reshaping the landscape of social media, but it's also ushering in profound cross-industry effects that extend into e-commerce, digital advertising, and payments, among other areas. Let's delve into this transformative phenomenon.
Initially introduced as Douyin by ByteDance in 2016, TikTok made its global debut in 2018 and has since established a presence in 154 countries, reaching a remarkable milestone of 1 billion users faster than any other social platform.
At its core, TikTok's success is rooted in simplicity: a video-sharing app that empowers users to effortlessly create and share short videos. Its standout feature, however, lies in its algorithmic prowess, which rapidly curates videos from its expansive database based on user preferences. Unlike conventional platforms, TikTok doesn't rely on established networks for virality, allowing anyone to achieve global recognition without an extensive follower count.
Statistics underscore TikTok's influence, with users dedicating an average of over 1.5 hours to the platform, primarily comprising Generation Z (individuals born between the late 1990s and early 2000s). In the #US, TikTok has become the premier video destination, outshining its social media counterparts. The emulation of TikTok's model by industry giants such as #Meta, #YouTube, #Pinterest, and Netflix is a testament to its disruptive impact.
Expanding beyond its humorous video content, TikTok is instigating paradigm shifts in various sectors. Notably, within digital advertising, projections indicate a substantial leap in TikTok's ad revenues, soaring from $13 billion in 2022 to $44 billion by 2027. Concurrently, TikTok Douyin's revenue in China is predicted to rise from $28 billion to $76 billion. By 2027, global online video advertising is set to generate over $331 billion, with TikTok commanding 37% of these earnings, equivalent to $120 billion. In comparison, the combined presence of YouTube and Meta is estimated at 24% or $77 billion.
On the e-commerce frontier, TikTok's foray into live shops embedded within user profiles (deployed in regions like the #UK, Southeast #Asia, and the US) enables in-app purchases, potentially paving the way for live-stream shopping to become a pivotal e-commerce trend. In #China, TikTok's direct in-app sales are substantially challenging established e-commerce titans like JD and Alibaba. Douyin's strategic focus on "interest e-commerce," driven by users' passions, signifies a multidimensional approach to consumer engagement encompassing short videos, livestreams, and searches.
This seismic shift reminds us that the world is evolving rapidly, surpassing some in its velocity of change.
Join me in uncovering the seismic shifts powered by socialmedia- from reshaping social landscapes to igniting a commerce evolution. Let’s ride this wave of transformation together! Don’t miss out – hit that follow button for more captivating insights. 🚀🔥
