Very few people actually know how to provision and manage a lossless Ethernet fabric and I’d wager someone who had literally never touched infiniband would have an easier time accomplishing it from zero with IB than with Ethernet on real ve

Yes. Not everyone likes squashed/rebase workflows and it's frustrating to have to police people. A lot of groups use a workflow where all commits to branches of global interest are strictly pull requests. For those who are in thi

Are you saying that their claims that they can teach people to levitate are true? https://www.npr.org/2016/06/13/481845003/a-childhood-of-tran... There are plenty of online resources about the cult aspec

I was at one of SGI's competitors and we had teams doing cheap HW - ATi and other cards, like IBM's GPUs at the time - and yet the company as a whole was like "ALL GOOD LET'S KEEP BUILDING MASSIVE CUSTOM GRAPHICS SYSTEMS

Yep. This. It’s impressive how communication is instantaneous, unimpeded, complete and transparent in economics. Those things aren’t even true in a 500 person company let alone an economy.

Because the current operating mode for almost all companies is a focus on shorter and shorter term results? Because while there is a place for some hands on developers at such a place that is not most of the staff? The Manhattan project hir

The latest one is also just more lambdas. Like that’s impressive but DWDM itself took a decade+ after gear was introduced. Most of the time it’s easier to just add another few dozen fibers when laying cables.

One of the underappreciated reasons both Bell Labs and PARC worked was they actually hired a lot of people who had already established themselves. One of the problem with young researchers, no matter how nobly minded, is that they will play
