Also working in the field and I don't understand why this article is even on the front-page. The author has clearly no idea what they're talking about, it almost reads as a satire.

They behave this way because they are so tight on GPU capacity given incredible demand. Getting a GPU instance on GCP is as miserable of an experience. Try Lambda Labs, there's usually more availability, and more importantly you get so

I've also lived in San Francisco for many years, in different neighborhoods. Now with my family including 2 young kids. The usual media narrative around SF is also very foreign to me and doesn't match my personal experience. Livi

Since it's tax season... Did you ever benefit from a tax credit on your return? Should we consider you state-affiliated? Less than 1% of their funding is from the government. Tesla received billions in government subsidies... Is it sta

I understand. In the typical corporate world this is solved with "hire interns to work on all the cool things we don't have bandwidth to explore, while being simultaneously jealous of them". Or I'm sure a lot of people s

Do you have a simple AB testing system in place to test hypotheses like this? If you're the only sherif in town running experiments, it doesn't take much work to build a simple one, probably around ~100 LOC ("do things that d

No, the "weights" of your model are trained from the input data. What is usually AB tested are hyperparameters of the model, or different "flavors" of (model+input data).

While this looks like a step in the right direction to provide user-space per-process control of the latency VS throughput tradeoffs (lower runqueue latency at the expense of shorter timeslices), I'd rather see the SCHED_EXT patch [1]

And it's not only the names that are stupid. 50% of the time on my TV when I'm trying to open the Youtube app, I end up clicking on the Youtube TV app, because the logos look exactly the same.

That's been my experience. However when fallback to CPU happens, it sometimes end up making a specific graph execution slower. But that's explicitly mentioned by the warning and pretty much expected.

I think we indeed hit "peak open-source" for AI and there unfortunately won't be as much sharing in the coming years. When the economy is down, people and companies think more in "zero-sum-game". I hope to be proven

Pretty click-baity title. This article is a good "ELI5" summary for non-ML people of some of the techniques & infra described in the arxiv paper, but it has nothing to do with TikTok "secret sauce".

I do not disagree with you, but that's exactly what the author of the blog post emphasizes: focusing on the "risk -> money" is an example of missing the forest for the trees. It's not the company raison d'être (u

> turning risk into money is what a company, any company, does. I must say that's one of the most unorthodox description of what a company does I've seen. How is a bread factory or a plumber "turning risk into money"?

I have a hard time being on board with the logic. Neither k8s nor mesos guarantee optimal placements (which as you pointed out is unrealistic given the NP-hardness of the problem), in fact they are explicitly trading placement quality for l

I have my own fair share of complaints about k8s, but I can't say the author articulates clearly what is wrong with k8s scheduler exactly. IMO it's one of the better part of k8s. The core scheduler is pretty well written and exten
