Factor 2: Weighing the pros and cons If we want to provide the data in lakehouse format so Spark jobs can slice and dice the data, then either shared tiering or materialization is an option. Shared tiering might be preferable if reducing storage cost (by avoiding data duplication) is the primary concern. However, other factors are also at play, as explained earlier in 1.

Weaponizing image scaling against production AI systems

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-14 11:20:53

Picture this: you send a seemingly harmless image to an LLM and suddenly it exfiltrates all of your user data. By delivering a multi-modal prompt injection not visible to the user, we achieved data exfiltration on systems including the Google Gemini CLI. This attack works because AI systems often scale down large images before sending them to the model: when scaled, these images can reveal prompt injections that are not visible at full resolution. In this blog post, we’ll detail how attackers c

Why recycling isn’t enough to address the plastic problem
