    It's the exact opposite. The bitter lesson is that simply scaling training on more games—including self-play—trumps any hand-crafted human input, whether that's fine-tuning on huma…

    Will be super cool to see SlateDB instead RocksDB

    Perhaps we just need an S3 implementation specifically built from the ground up for the data-intensive workloads? Such implementation might use conventional S3 underneath for cost …

    I wonder why no one mentions bitonic sort? If you want to do anything in SIMD you better avoid branching as much as possible... and ideally altogether. Here is an implementation I …

    So what is exactly Azure or Amazon offering for "AutoML Tables" or for "End-to-end AI Platform that runs ALSO on premises"?

    How does this compare to KubeFlow?

    It is claimed to be also an open-source project and meritocracy is common with open-source projects and github has the required automatic infrastructure for this "keeping track".

    I think by "something" he means "phenomenon" and by "re-creating" he means "observing". So I think he is saying: if it is claimed that phenomenon X exists but there is no way to ev…

    Google is very different from Intel on these fronts at least: 1. Google's open framework TensorFlow is exploding in popularity effectively moving the common interface up from CUDA.…

    we are heads down coding and haven't got time yet to update ZeroVM website. If you want to contribute contact us now please, if you to use ZeroVM hypervisor stay tuned...

    but instance store is transient! You may argue if you do triple replicated in different availability zones then you are ok. Well, in this case it would be very costly as you will e…

    If all is that simple & rosy why no hosting/cloud service uses it? Why entire shared hosting industry custom-patches their kernel constantly with OpenVZ and stuff? Why shared hosti…

    Every system might have weaknesses. What matters is: 1. Small surface for attack. With NaCl it is all concentrated in single tiny validator module. The model is also simple and mat…

    1) there is $100K bounty on each Chrome/NaCl exploit and we have only one ZeroVM 'syscall' that we allow with a lot of attention put how to make it easily secure. The situation is …

    Well... this echoes ZeroVM ideas but so is PiCloud and a few others mentioned here. I think it goes without doubt that current OSes and VMs are not best suited for cloud technologi…

    I assume by VM you mean ZeroVM. Well, ZeroVM currently doesn't allow self modifying code at all. Nice try.... We haven't touched Google's provided validator in order not to break a…

    you got (2) wrong, the reason is running code on S3 is insecure and would not be allowed and spawning VM inside S3 for some local calculation would be cumbersome at best as it is t…

    If you use EMR or just roll your own Hadoop in EC2 then: 1. Hadoop runs on EC2 2. Data is stored on S3 3. Intermediary results stored in EC2 4. Hadoop loads the data from S3 to EC2…

    What if I DoS attack some syscall? Or create zillions of files with 1 byte size driving crazy file-system or anything else. Kernel is such vast area vulnerable for an attack that i…

    Constructive criticism is always welcome. The answer is that multi-tenant is different from multi-user on so many aspects. Multi-user: 1. Usually closed institution or even single …

    There are two techniques for resources isolation: 1. Filtering all resources accesses, letting some pass and others denied. 2. Enforcing different abstraction and then unwanted res…

    ZeroVM is not a lightweight container so all the above doesn't hold. ZeroVM doesn't use any "syscall firewalling" techniques. ZeroVM efficiently emulates new hardware platform just…

    Thanks for that, I feel the same way for process isolation. In theory that should be a solution but in practice doesn't work for historic reasons. Just one comment. ZEROVM IS NOT N…
