[1] The battle for control of the cloud's soul got a bit hotter when Broadcom announced plans to pay $61 billion for VMware, a price tag that makes the merger
one of the largest tech deals ever. The purchase gives the growing conglomerate control over a once-crucial layer for deploying software.
Broadcom may be known popularly as a brand that makes
chips and hardware like modems, but those years are long gone. The modern version is growing into a conglomerate that absorbs companies, often with legacy technology, and finds a way to run them independently and profitably.
The new purchase represents a
significant shift from their traditional hardware manufacturing into the burgeoning world of software.

open source the Twitter algorithm to increase the transparency of the platform's use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to promote or demote posts.
Musk's idea to take
Twitter open source could highlight vulnerabilities on the level of Log4Shell and Spring4Shell to the site, according to
critics. Yet for
supporters, the decision could even enhance the platform's security.
While it
remains unclear what the impact of open sourcing the algorithm will have, there are some simple steps organizations can take to help mitigate the risks.

The performance management team was monitoring the health of Salesforce's data centers, which emit a lot of metrics in real-time, including
CPU utilization for any particular service. Those metrics generate what is known as time-series data.
Over the last two years, Aadyot Bhatnagar, a senior research engineer at Salesforce, and his team have been developing an open-source machine learning library, called Merlion, that runs time-series analysis with machine learning. It was originally designed to help solve the challenge that Salesforce's application performance management team faced. Merlion is an end-to-end Python library for many time-series tasks, he explained, including anomaly detection as well as forecasting.
