Oracle liable to data centre investors regardless of power supply, court rules

0
·1 views

Oracle faces financial liability to data centre investors even in cases where the facility lacks electricity, according to a ruling reported by the Financial Times. The case centers on contractual obligations Oracle holds toward investors in a data centre project. The dispute highlights the legal risks companies face when infrastructure commitments are made independently of operational conditions. The outcome could set a precedent for how cloud and data centre contracts are structured and enforced going forward.

Splitting vision AI into two calls improves screen assistant accuracy and reliability

Developer of Handrail, an open-source screen assistant, found that asking a vision model to simultaneously answer a question and identify UI coordinates in a single API call degraded performance on both tasks. The app now makes two separate calls against the same screenshot: one for reasoning and answering, and another focused solely on locating the relevant on-screen control. Coordinates are returned on a normalised 0–1000 grid rather than raw pixels, eliminating resolution and multi-monitor arithmetic across different hardware setups. The two passes also use different image formats — a compressed JPEG for reading and a full-resolution PNG for precise localisation of small UI elements. Handrail runs locally with no account or server, stores data as plain JSON, and is available as an Apache-2.0 open-source project for Windows and macOS.

How to Monitor HPE Morpheus HVM and HKS Clusters in Existing Grafana Dashboards

Teams running HPE Morpheus Enterprise can now integrate HVM cluster, HKS Kubernetes cluster, and appliance health metrics directly into their existing Grafana dashboards without installing agents or writing custom exporters. The setup relies solely on the Morpheus REST API, a read-only service account, the Infinity data source plugin for Grafana, and the Prometheus instance already running inside HKS clusters. A dedicated read-only role called 'Grafana Reader' is created in Morpheus with minimal permissions covering operations, infrastructure, health, and monitoring sections. To avoid monthly token expiry causing dashboard outages, a custom OAuth client is configured with a one-year token validity period tied exclusively to the service account. The entire setup, covering Morpheus Enterprise 9.0.2 and Grafana 13.2 with the Infinity plugin, can be completed in approximately one hour by anyone with admin access to both platforms.

Nearly Half of 1,064 Freelance Listings Open With the Wrong First Sentence

An analysis of 1,064 independent sellers' cards across nine categories found that 497 opened by describing the seller's method rather than addressing the buyer's specific situation. The review, covering 863 distinct people with prices ranging from free to $200, also found that 262 listings included no public examples of past work. Cards that led with the word 'free' were among the least clear, despite the assumption that low-cost entry attracts buyers. The core finding is that strangers browsing such listings are typically mid-task and searching for a solution to an immediate problem, not shopping by category. Listings that open with a concrete example or outcome were found to be more effective than those leading with tools, techniques, or pricing.

What Is CORS and Why Does Your Browser Block Cross-Origin API Requests?

CORS, or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is a browser security mechanism that restricts web pages from making requests to a different origin — defined by protocol, domain, and port. Browsers enforce this by default to prevent malicious sites from silently accessing sensitive APIs using a user's credentials. Servers must explicitly permit cross-origin requests by returning headers such as Access-Control-Allow-Origin in their responses. In frameworks like ASP.NET Core, developers can configure named CORS policies to whitelist specific frontend origins rather than allowing all origins. A common debugging tip is to check whether a preflight OPTIONS request is failing before the actual request, and to note that tools like Postman bypass browser CORS enforcement entirely.
