Video: Dog & Cat Are So in Sync They Might Trick You Into Thinking They're Twins
A heartwarming video of a dog and a cat sibling showed them so in sync that it may trick some people into thinking they are twins. Diesel, a Doberman, and his feline sibling, Wasabi, have been dubbed 'all-time iconic duo' because of their identical behaviour. The duo's latest video compilation put their sibling dynamics on display and detailed their similar reactions in different situations. Doberman and cat have the same poses in adorable Instagram video Diesel, a dashing dog, and his sweet cat sibling, Wasabi, showcased peak twin behavior in their recent video. The compilation gave a glimpse of the duo's precious bond, showing how in tune they are with each other. Diesel and Wasabi's owner wrote over the Instagram Reel, 'My dog and cat aren't twins,' and added, 'But they sure move like they are.' The video compilation began with a clip of Diesel and Wasabi sitting by the window. At one point, the siblings moved their heads in unison to watch something. While they looked in different directions, it was how they turned at the same time and in a similar manner. In fact, Diesel and Wasabi looked straight ahead in unison again. The owner, too, highlighted in the caption, 'It's the way they turn their heads for me.' The following clip, too, showed the furry siblings watching out the window on a sunny day. The highlight was that Diesel and Wasabi were standing by the sill in exactly the same way, watching in the same direction, and turning right at the same time. The clips continued to capture the dog and cat duo in similar moments. Whether it was Diesel and Wasabi standing around the house or taking a walk outside, they'd stand still and observe their surroundings in an identical manner.

Starmer's nanny state ‘risks killing Britain's restaurants'
Nanny state policies risk killing Britain's restaurant trade, the boss of a leading sushi chain has warned. Henry Birts, the chief executive of Wasabi, said the growing burden of red tape is stifling Britain's hospitality sector and making it harder for companies to survive amid soaring taxes. He said: 'We're at risk of sort of really killing the industry if we continue to regulate and regulate and put the costs up. All of this together is having a collective effect that is just not helpful.' Criticism of government regulation comes after Sir Keir Starmer unveiled plans to compel large restaurants and fast food chains to cut diners' calories in an attempt to drive down obesity rates. Businesses have warned that such a move could lumber them with a mountain of bureaucracy and extra costs at a time when margins are already under strain. Mr Birts said: 'I'm a big believer that our industry needs to continue to be responsible around health. 'But I think if the Government continues to tax and regulate their way through all of this, there's a line where it becomes very unhelpful, and we end up shooting ourselves in the foot.' The exact details of what will be asked of restaurants are yet to be revealed. But measures are expected to be similar to those recently announced plans for supermarkets, which will require them to reduce the calories in shoppers' baskets. The calorie crackdown has been touted as a critical step in the battle against obesity. Obesity rates have doubled in Britain since the 1990s, prompting Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, to warn that the NHS could become 'unsustainable' if the 'rising tide of cost and demand' is not stopped.

Everyone's Talking About AI Compute—But It All Starts With Storage
Dave Friend is the cofounder and CEO of Wasabi. When you think of AI, there are probably many things that come to mind, such as how to use it, where it's headed and what powers it. The conversation typically centers around compute—A.K.A. all the CPUs and GPUs you hear about when discussing AI. While compute is critical, there is a significant aspect of AI that is often overlooked: data. Although it may not be widely discussed, the reality is that these massive, unstructured and ever-growing data sets are what are truly driving global AI growth. As AI models become larger and more sophisticated, accessing the necessary data to train them is becoming a significant challenge for users. This is due to multiple factors, including the ever-increasing amount of data needed to train AI models. To make matters worse, hyperscaler storage that many rely on is expensive, overly complex and not optimized for the accessibility and performance that AI workflows demand. Additionally, enterprise data used to train AI systems is becoming a favored target for malicious actors. All of these factors combine to make AI adoption incredibly challenging, expensive and time-consuming. The reality is that most companies aren't struggling with AI compute limitations. They're hitting walls because they can't store, access and manage the data quickly, securely and affordably enough to support real-time inference, fine-tuning or long-term retention. If AI needs to run efficiently and cost-effectively, so does the data it learns from. To address these growing problems and fully leverage the benefits AI has to offer, organizations should implement a scalable cloud storage solution that provides cost-effectiveness, security and hybrid capabilities. Best Practices And What Leaders Should Expect However, not all data storage providers are created equal. The cloud giants that dominate the industry charge exorbitant fees to access data, making it more difficult, expensive and time-consuming for users. This makes training AI and storing the data that AI gleans a costly and challenging undertaking. To address this, organizations should seek out affordable cloud storage providers that don't charge these fees. This will enable them to easily access their data in a way that makes AI training as seamless and cost-effective as these storage buckets can be easily scaled up and down depending on need. This is ideal for training AI, as the storage will need to hold both the data required to train AI models and store the resulting information. Being able to scale up easily and down will ensure that an organization is adequately prepared for AI models and can adjust as needed. Just as important as where you store the data is ensuring it is stored securely. Cyberattackers are increasingly going after enterprise data due to its vital role in AI operations. As a result, it is crucial for IT leaders to ensure that the storage solutions they choose are adequately protecting their data. When selecting a provider, organizations should remember to look for one that offers robust data protection offerings that ensure the storage sets are impenetrable. Organizations should also take notice that the data is hidden from bad actors in the event of a breach to prevent deletion or ransomware threats. These are critical for avoiding an attack and protecting critical enterprise data. Key Features And Approaches To Security An essential part of a secure data management program is immutable backups, which prevent a malicious actor from modifying or deleting the stored data. Immutable backups are an air-gapped solution that isolates data from potential threats such as ransomware or accidental deletion. IT leaders should consider immutable backups to ensure their data is impenetrable and cannot be encrypted or deleted. Additionally, no secure cloud management program would be complete without employee training on cyber protection. By regularly updating cybersecurity best practices for employees and providing training, organizations can effectively prevent malicious actors from breaching their networks and accessing critical data. An approach that combines cost effectiveness and security is hybrid storage, which involves storing data in different methods and locations. This can include one copy in the cloud, one on-premises, and one on a hard drive. Incorporating cost-effective solutions like the cloud reduces expenses, while having the data in multiple locations allows it to be readily available in case of a cyberattack. For AI training, data can be readily available in the cloud, but it can also be stored on-premises for added security. While it is easy to get caught up in the AI boom, organizations must take their time incorporating the emerging feature. Technology decision-makers should ensure they prioritize cost-effective and secure ways to store the data necessary for proper AI training. Without it, they may be left behind their competitors in the AI adoption race. Forbes Technology Council is an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs and technology executives.
