That article reads just like a SIGINT intelligence report on some foreign country's new radar system, inducing capabilities, limitations, and specifications from clues visible in photographs.
- marmaduke 9y agoI think you mean deduce or infer
- jloughry 9y agoYou make a good point. I meant inductive in the sense that the author of this article really is operating like an intelligence analyst, working from available but limited information and drawing conclusions like `the white cables are probably for management' (judging from the number of them and the type of connectors seen on the ends). It's a statement of probability, based on what we can see, what we know from experience ought to be present, and what else we don't see. More interesting is the author's prediction that maps Xeon cores 1:1 with TPU chips (again, by counting boards in the CPU racks on the ends); that one is a combination of inductive and deductive logic. The article is a great piece of analysis.
