How is it going to work when the GPU is in the cloud and the storage is miles away in a local colo in SF down the street? I was under the impression that the GPUs has to go multipl…

> do you think managing IAM and Terraform is free? No, but I would argue that a SaaS offering, where the whole maintenance of the storage system is maintained for you actually requ…

How about all the other infrastructure. Since you are obviously not using the cloud, you must have massive amounts of GPUs and operating systems. All of that has been working toget…

You are under the assumption that only Ceph (and similar complex software) requires staff, whereas plain 30 PB can be operated basically just by rebooting from time to time. I thin…

The biggest part that is always missing in such comparisons is the employee salaries. In the calculation they give $354k/year of total cost per year. But now add the cost of staff …

This piece is interesting background, but worth noting that the actual numbers are highly speculative. The NSA has never disclosed hard data on capacity, and most of what's out the…

I think one important point is missing here: more data does not automatically lead to better LLMs. If you increase the amount of data tenfold, you might only achieve a slight impro…

Different compiler versions, target architectures, or optimization levels can generate substantially different assembly from the same high-level program. Determinism is thus very s…

On the other hand, one can see it as another layer of abstraction. Most programmers are not aware of how the assembly code generated from their programming language actually plays …

> tens of millions of disks If we assume enterprise HDDs in the double digit TB range then one can estimate that the total S3 storage volume of AWS is in the triple digit Exabyte r…

Digital Ocean is also using Ceph[1]. I think these cloud providers could easily have 100s of PBs Clusters at their size, but it's not public information. Even smaller company's ( I…

How does TernFS compare to CephFS and why not CephFS, since it is also tested for the multiple Petabyte range?
