Testa TCP replacement<\/a>: Instead of buying and spending a lot of money, built what you need. I assume very smart people around and real network engineering taking place.It is like a re-write of TCP but doesnt break it so your switches can still play with it. It seems videos are not available in the hotchips<\/a> webpage yet. And this link<\/a> looks even better, even mentions Arista as the switching vendor. (video<\/a> from hotchips24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerebras Inference<\/a>: From hotchips 2024. I am still blow away for the waferscale solution. Obviously, the presentation says its product is the best but I wonder, can you install a “standard” linux and run your LLM\/Inference that easily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leopold AIG race: Via linkedin<\/a>, then the source<\/a>. I read the chapter 3 regarding the race to the Trillion-Dollar cluster. It all looks Sci-Fi, but I think it may be not that far from reallity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cursor + Sonet<\/a>: Replacement for copilot? original<\/a> I haven’t used Copilot but at some point I would like to get into the wagon and try things and decide for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI AWS Engineering Infra<\/a>: low-latency and large-scale networking (\\o\/), energy efficiency, security, AI chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVLink HGX B200<\/a>: To be honest, I always forger the concept of NVLink and I told my self it is an “in-server” switch to connect all GPUs in a rack. Still<\/a> this can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

At a high level, the consortium’s goal (UltraEthernet<\/strong>\/ UA) is to develop an open standard alternative to Nvidia’s NVLInk that can be used for intra-server or inter-server high-speed connectivity between GPU\/Accelerators to build scale-up AI\/HPC systems. The plan is to use AMD’s interconnect (Infinity Fabric) as the baseline for this standard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Netflix encoding challenges<\/a>: From encoding per quality of connection, to per-title, to per-shot. Still there are challenges for live streaming. Amazon does already live streaming for sports, have they “solved” the problem? I dont use Netflix or similar but still, the challenges and engineering behind is quite interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Waste snacks<\/a>: Indeed, we need more of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some career advice<\/a> from AWS: I “get” the point but still you want to be up to speed (at certain level) with new technologies, you dont want to become a dinosaur (ATM, frame-relay, pascal, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Again, it’s not about how much you technically know but how you put into use what you know to generate amazing results for a value chain.

Get the data – be a data-driven nerd if you will – define a problem statement, demonstrate how your solution translates to real value, and fix it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thick Skin<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot taking things personally is a superpower.\u201d \u2013James Clear<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because \u201cno\u201d is normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before John Paul DeJoria built his billion-dollar empire with Patr\u00f3n and hair products, he hustled door-to-door selling encyclopedias. His wisdom shared at Stanford Business School<\/a> on embracing rejection is pure gold (start clip at 5:06).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, life is a numbers game. Today’s winners often got rejected the most (but persevered). They kept taking smart shots on goal and, eventually, broke through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
