A hot potato: We're used to hearing stories about AI taking admin, call center, and similar jobs, but it's not just white-collar workers who are at risk. In New York, 12 nurses were laid off on Sunday and replaced by AI-powered software, some of whom had worked at the hospital for decades. The move came not long after the city's nurses went on strike and won a three-year contract. It's also led to warnings about the quality of care the AI will offer.

According to the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the layoffs, made by the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, were a direct result of the AI-powered software provided by Datavant. Montefiore described it as a nonclinical program that helps facilitate the paperwork process.

GKE CPU 起動ブースト: オーバープロビジョニングなしでアプリの起動を高速化

※この投稿は米国時間 2026 年 10 月 3 日に、Google Cloud blog に投稿されたものの抄訳です。トラフィックの急増に対応してマイクロサービスを起動する場合でも、新しいソフトウェアリリースをデプロイする場合でも、アプリケーションレプリカをスケールアップする場合でも、Google Kubernetes Engine（GKE）で実行されるアプリケーションの高速で応答性の高いユーザーエクスペリエンスを維持するには、Pod の起動時間が重要ですしかし、プラットフォームエンジニアと開発者は、アプリケーションが起動時に定常状態の運用時よりも大幅に多くの CPU パワーを必要とすることが多いという、根強いジレンマに直面しています。通常の定常状態の使用量に合わせて CPU リクエストをサイジングすると、起動時に CPU スロットリングが発生し、コールドスタートの遅延や、readiness プローブのタイムアウトにつながる可能性があります。逆に、短時間の起動バーストに対応するためにベースライン CPU リクエストをオーバープロビジョニングすると、貴重なコンピューテ
