Veritasium Spider Silk: Always read about spider silk being stronger than still but never seen proofs and the problems of trying to commercialize it

Columnar Storage for Observability: This is not my field but curious about it.

Mark Mason: Hormuz I can’t stop laughing so good and so true!!!!

• Diversify your energy sources: Dont create a choke point of validation
• Don’t negotiate with crazy: evacuate!
• Become emotionally energy independent

7 Habits after 30s:

• Dont break the routine (x): consistency beats intensivity
• Defaulting to “No”: You need to focus in what matters. I have a very strict routine: climbing, german, dancing, baking, reading, studying. And I should add dating. I have enough if I add work and sleep. I would like to do more things, yes, but dont have time. Although I feel sometimes a slave of my own routine. No means to focus in what matters to you. Time is finite.
• If you think of somebody, reach out to them: I dont have many friends, but they are really good one, I am happy for that. I need to make the effort to reach out more often.
• Quit drugs and alcohol: This is a no brainer. Doesnt need much explanation.
• Buy your time back: I agree with this, and it is difficult. Learn how to spend your money. For me, it is repairing my bike. I realize that just being able to repair a puncture and changing the breaks it is enough. More means, buying a lot of kit and still need time. And likely more things.
• Have fewer opinions
• Stop complaining: Amen. If you do, have a plan of action.

Optionality Addiction: We have to many options, we dont focus. When you do, you have grief from the options lost. Committing means to do less. Freedom is the enemy of focus. Deliberate practice = tolerance boredom. Discipline = remove choice

Self-Defeating excuse: Take advantage of the opportunities given

LR4: I am not an expert in optical networking but it is an interesting read.

MPTE: Interesting the author point that even in a RNG (Random Network Graph – AWS) still is traffic engineering needed MPTE (Multipath Traffic Engineering). He makes his point based on AI environments.

Dating summary: Really good all points, most of them I feel them or experienced.

Backwards Law: Emotions are weather, you can’t control them. You can control what you do with the emotions

You never know who you are until you have adversity in life.

SR-IOV:

SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) is an extension to the PCI Express specification that lets a single physical device, like a network adapter, present itself as multiple separate virtual devices. Each virtual machine gets its own direct access to the hardware, bypassing the hypervisor’s software layer and delivering network performance close to what you’d get on bare metal. It was designed by the PCI-SIG standards body specifically to solve the performance bottleneck that virtualization creates when many VMs share one network card.

From this article about Meta Superintelligence, came across this link about Meta backbone designs at scale for EBB

opensm: I can’t find many blog posts with real hands-on about IB things. And this is a good one. It doesnt just show you the configuration, but the problems you can find. It seems it is better to use the Mellanox’s opensm

• systemctl status opensm –no-pager
• sudo sminfo
• sudo ibnetdiscover
• sudo saquery NR | grep -E “lid|NodeDescription”
• sudo tail -f /var/log/opensm.log

IB cable EEPROM: Interesting how critical can be having the correct cable from the EEPROM.

 The label on a cable is marketing. The EEPROM inside it is a contract, and InfiniBand only honors contracts.

• mstlink -d –show_module
