Question to math people - are you actually able to intuitively understand and derive meaning from some of the formulae? How did you get to that point? As an example - "The optimal linear memory store" talks about…
I'm reading this an realizing I have 0 understanding of Linear Algebra and am completely unable to read mathematical syntax. "You" definitely does not mean me. Before anyone gets made at me - I'm not complaining at the…
All of this to try and learn something new
I think you’re underrating the sheer amount of iteration that occurs. SaaS has requirements and then implementation- it’s a product that has a target it hits. Yes, churn happens, but the point is you’re working to a…
Huh? Open source is a quality of the software, not specific to the hardware used to run the model. The demand is that model weights are openly available for anyone to run and fine tune without restriction. Has nothing…
I worked at Amazon and I do think that more than anything we were overhired with little meaningful work. A lot of compliance goal chasing. Not that it’s performative to the top brass, but the work was very little and…
Yeah I’m struggling to understand why the same header field would be used for git options in the first place. Why ever allow users to modify that specific header?
Ironically Square isn’t good at anything in particular. Square fails to have a good point of sale (Toast wins) and fails for online store fronts (Shopify wins). Square is in a position where they spread themselves thin…
I’m not sure how controversial this is - but 100% code coverage is almost always a waste of time, paid both immediately and long term, for certain languages. Go, for example, requires explicit error handling, but the…
You’re right about that. I guess what I mean is, how long will people be enthusiastic about AWS and its ability to innovate. But AWS undeniably has some really strong product offerings - it’s just that their pace of…
Sure, but it’s not reasonable that internal collaboration platforms built for ticketing engineers about outages doesn’t work during the outage. That would be something worth making multi-region at a minimum.
Even internal Amazon tooling is impacted greatly - including the internal ticketing platform which is making collaboration impossible during the outage. Amazon is incapable of building multi-region services internally.…
I worked at <large tech company everyone hates> and we had this exact architecture. The senior engineer (who went to Stanford and was proud of it) designed this system. I had long arguments with him about how this…
