    Atherton closed their station in 2020 and, through a great twist of irony, it will become a museum for the line that's still alive next to it: https://inmenlo.com/2025/06/16/commun…

    It's been a while since I thought about this but isn't the reason providers advertise only 3.2tbps because that's the limit of a single node's connection to the IB network? DGX is …

    I had this problem and complained to AT&T support. I know it doesn't make sense to replace the modem because this is a software, not hardware, issue but they very quickly offered t…

    This is both a good thing and a bad thing, but Pulumi is way more flexible than Terraform. I wanted to have a cloud-provider-specific submodule that created resources (like EKS and…

    I found that using "helm template" to convert every Helm chart into yaml, and then using Pulumi to track changes and update my clusters (with Python transformation functions to get…

    1979 16 bit flops on an H100 is with sparsity. See footnote 2 on https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/h100/ . You should be halving it for non-sparse flops.

    It's worth noting that just because an H100 has a higher flops number doesn't mean your program is actually hitting that number of flops. Modern TPUs are surprisingly competitive w…

    Because they've limited the dynamism of Python so you can't do as much crazy runtime nonsense, their (vaporware) tech stack is able to (theoretically) compile more of your program …
