"Scrape" intervals (and the plumbing through to analysis intervals) are chosen precisely because of the denoising function aggregation provides. Most scaled analysis systems provide precise control over the type of aggregation u

Let's say you have 10 million servers. No matter what you are deploying, some of those servers are going to be in a bad state. Some are going to be in hw ops/repair. Some are going to be mid-deployment for something else. A regi

Exact same here. I watched that video about ten times in a row. I learned it's more important to know how the big sound pieces fit together and what you can do by tweaking them. Have many, many different versions of the big pieces does

I have no idea what you are talking about. It walks and quacks exactly like drugs and alcohol. Thousands of deaths every year are caused by drivers on cell phones. You'd think they'd have a reason to put them away.

My armchair guess is that they had a new control pathway not properly participating in their integrity hand-off protocols, doing some kind of transformation outside of that protection. I once saw some HW engineers go nuts trying to find o

Keep in mind that when flash memory is read, you don't get back 0 or 1. You get back (roughly) a floating point value -- so you might get back 0.1, or 0.8. There's extensive code in SSD controllers to reassemble/error correct

Note that most open source contributions by Googlers are, as recommended by policy, done under their own personal accounts. There's a required registry internally mapping from their personal account to their @google.com identity. The

I'm glad you threw in "I know of", because that part is true. Feel free to read lore.kernel.org, and sort out where the people contributing many patches actually work.

GCP can and does live migrate confidential VMs between machines. Which of the 50k machines in a cluster were you going to attach your analyzer to?

The point of security efforts is to make an attacker's life harder, not to construct perfect defenses (because there's no such thing, as you've noted). TEEs make attacker's lives harder. Unless you can find a way to make

When asking for change, there are the choices you know about and the ones you don't. I've gotten in the habit of describing some of the current state as well as my desired state, and using that to focus the LLM on the areas I&

Pixel 10 has around 5000mah batteries. Sadly that does not meet your 6000mah requirement. Everybody makes choices ;)

At scale, the larger companies end up needing to be able to make policy decisions (read: authn/authz, most of the time) across a large number of "policies" in an efficient way. Everybody starts with simple representations tha

LLMs are minimizing energy to solve problems, and if they can convince the human to go away happy with 'any', so be it. There's a fine line between gradient descent, pedantry, and mocking. I suspect we will learn more about i

Was Intel's board and management great? Like, when did it change?

Intel needs a full-time board that gives a shit about whether the company succeeds. You could populate that board with nearly any combination of capable founder types and you'd get far better results. The current board is a pack of car

We populate our corporate leadership with non-founders so highly compensated that actually succeeding does not matter to them. They've already "won" at the game, and they spend a lot of time posturing with respect to each oth

GCS's metadata layer was originally implemented with Megastore (the precursor to Spanner). That was seamlessly migrated to Spanner (in roughly small-to-large "region" order), as Spanner's scaling ability improved over th
