I'm thinking of Amdahl's law. Any effort to disaggregate OS and kernel for performance capped by the performance of the virtualization layer (about which I know to little to get any intuition).

fair enough, but wouldn't a virtualization layer in between defeat the purpose?

This isn't a bad idea. However, assuming heterogenous hardware(CPUs, GPUs, RAM, Network, capabilities) the OS problem is primarily a driver problem. Resource management seem like a candidate for a microkernel and this can expose a rel

I think that's where it transitions from a solid system to a subpar system and it's exactly that part that's relevant when we think of distributed systems. Postgres is solid and a good choice because most times you don't

Postgress may be solid, but not a distributed system and the OP is about distributed systems.

I keep seeing this template response/attitude but I think it’s generally flawed. Here’s why. You judge a prototype / instance of a technological field that’s otherwise in full swing, cranking on releasing next version long before

This, for me at least, was the most fascinating game at the time. Even though I played more RTS (Dune 2 and later Warcraft and Starcraft) and enjoyed coding even more, TIM had something magic that flipped a bit in my brain (I was 10-12) a

Keep in mind that the topic is thinking in writing (vs "volatile" thinking).I average 25-30 notes per day. Even if I'd ignore it's relatively specialized math and CS, it would take a rather large crowd to review and a lo

Unless you have few, very simple thoughts, feedback is not really effective, nor scalable, compared to self validation for which writing is required.

Ha! +1 Although, I'd be shorting 80% of everyone else spending money with NVidia without a clear path to recover. However, given that most are (likely?) not listed, there isn't that much to short?

How do you distinguish data shuffling from computation? What’s actual computation from this perspective?

It must feel like meritocracy. Like when ranking, particularly in strict order, is not the norm - so Terrence Tao doesn't see himself "on top" of anything. Moreover it must imply some solid grounding and a good understanding

Love this! I’ve been mostly doing my hobbies as work for 20 years, but I’ve been having a blast getting back to deep pure math and PL research in the last 6-12 months which absolutely topped everything. It’s fully targeted towards my busine

The thing with intuition vs arithmetic is that intuition sums up both conscious and unconscious knowledge. Often there’s more, deeper that happens unconsciously. So, in reality, a strong intuition may be fooled by otherwise simplistic arith

The utility is relative to the purpose. If everything is compute that you don't know how to program, and that's all you want to do - sure that's useless. If you what you want is a powerful analysis framework, that's gold

perhaps the problem is you're trying to fit computer in the wrong level of abstraction or projecting your position wrt to it incorrectly. E.g. a computer may or may not be programmable for processes that live inside the computer. This

It's a bit disingenuous to slap 11 9s in the first phrase of something called MemoryDB and drop "durability" after, implied by the otherwise boring durability of S3. This said, it's not bad. I'd keep in mind that th

Waking up for bathroom affects sleep quality which, in turn, can lead to many other issues. Stop drinking water 4h (not 2h) before going to bed.

I assume this is because most models are linear models and implicitely approximate a non-trivial amount which can become problematic from a stability perspective in many of the real-world settings?
