Google TPUv6 Analysis: “… cloud infrastructure and which also is being tuned up by Google and Nvidia to run Google’s preferred JAX framework (written in Python) and its XLA cross-platform compiler, which speaks both TPU and GPU fluently.” So I guess this is a cross-compiler for CUDA?

“The A3 Ultra instances will be coming out “later this year,” and they will include Google’s own “Titanium” offload engine paired with Nvidia ConnectX-7 SmartNICs, which will have 3.2 Tb/sec of bandwidth interconnecting GPUs in the cluster using Google’s switching tweaks to RoCE Ethernet.” So again custom ethernet tweaks for RoCE, I hope it makes to the UEC? Not sure I understand having a Titanium offload and a connectx-7, are they not the same?

Alphafold: It is open to be used. Haven’t read properly the license.

OOB Design:

Open Interpreter: The next step in LLMs is to control/interact with your system.

In my laptop fails because I have the free version 🙁 need to try a different one, but looks promising!

Walkie-Talkies: Out of James Bond world.

Zero Trust SSH. From Cloudflare. And this video I watched some months ago (and it is already 4y).

Finger Strength: I follow similar protocol, although not everyday, for warm up and I think it works. I am not getting that super results but at least my fingers are stronger…. and I am not getting injuries!!!! \o/

Cisco AI/ML DC Infra Challenges: I am not quiet fan of Cisco products but this is a good overview.

Key points:

  • Create different networks (inter-GPU, front-end, storage, mgmt),
  • Inter-GPU:
    • – non-blocking, rails-optimized (fig.3)
  • Inter-GPU challenges:
  • – Packet loss: Use PFC +ECN (flow aware)
  • – Network delay: “Rich” QoS – proprietary QoS to handle mice flows. Needs good telemetry
  • – Network congestion: Some kind of communication switch-NIC
  • – Non-uniform utilization: Most vendors have something proprietary here, some dynamic LB and static-pinning?
  • – Simultaneous Elephant flows with large bursts: dynamic buffer protection (proprietary)

Videos:

  • Raoul Pal: Crypto Investment. His company. Go long run, invest a bit you can lose
  • Scott Galloway: Interesting his political analysis. Trump won and it seems Latins voted massively for him.
  • Bruce Dickinson: I read Bruce’s books some years ago so I was surprised to see him in a podcast. Need to finish it.
  • Eric Schmidt: I read one of his books some time ago so again, surprised to find him in a podcast. Still think Google has become evil and most of the good things he says are gone.
  • Javier Milei: I am not economist but it “seems” things are improving in Argentina. He is a character nonetheless. Need to finish it.
  • Matthew McConaughey: His book was really refreshing, and seeing him talking is the same. Raw, real.
  • Alex Honnold: You have to try hard if you want to do hard things.

Beastmaking

I finished this book this week. I have been climbing for a while and I really love it. But as well, for several years I think I am not improving. I dont make a living with climbing but I want to try more difficult routes and challenge myself.

So I decided I was going to start to try different things to get stronger and climb harder. First of all, early this year, after watching this video, I decided to put in use my beastmaker board that was gathering dust…

It took me a weekend of DIY for completing it…. But has been worth it. Although I haven’t managed to get an schedule to do it twice a day. I do it on weekends morning and some non-climbing weekdays. I think I feel some improvement though.

Later on, I started to do weighted pull-ups as recommended by a fellow climber from the gym. This was the excuse to buy a harness after soooo many years! 🙂

Since last year, I had a finger injury so that kept me out of proper climbing for several months but I discovered endurance. I was only able to make easy routes and put low stress in my finger so with time I managed an expected endurance. So I was happy with that and I am trying to get an endurance session each week (if my skin agrees with that).

As well, I had watched this video several times and it helped too.

In the last couple of months I started to get back to the normal climbing checking how my finger was feeling. So I decided to keep adding things. And the book has clarified many things. I really need to improve my finger strength. Something I have ignored as I always thought it was too much for me and it was easy to get injured.

Prioritise fingers and flexibility. Work in your “core”

Do high-intensity strength training when you are fresh and well rested.

Finger strength takes time, it is a slow process, dont rush it. And dont get injured!

Important is to warm-up and stretch. So this is always do so I am happy I have it in my routine.

The book gives a lot examples (and have very nice pictures) for exercises.

So I need to try things and build my training plan. And very likely get back to the book to refresh things.
