When I was at Canva I had to get a batch job to run demographics analysis vision models on over 90 million images. It took a couple weeks, but felt like with the right infra it could be done in a couple hours. The infra now exists :)

Is The Soul of a New Machine the best book about the computer industry because Kidder is.. - an outsider - a full-time writer - simply a first rate writer Other industries have had ‘homegrown’ Pulitzers—medicine, law, finance, bilogy—but not computing.

LLMs have shifted my blog post drafting back to my static-site repository away from Notion. I can play with HTML and JS so easily during iteration with Cursor. Markdown+Blocks is hamstringing.

Is there a SRE book but for startups? Google’s book is great but it doesn’t contend with the tradeoffs and constraints of a young growing startup.

The Tom Brady of Youtube educational content is at it again. One of those rare lectures which deserves to be called enlightening. I hope @karpathy.bsky.social is steering clear of helicopters, submersibles, and smoking. We need him.

Found out you get 220MiB more H100 HBM3e VRAM on Oracle Cloud compared to GCP. GCP's instances have more `reserved` memory and I can't figure out if this is configurable from the guest.

Wrote about how a warmed up container can be saved to disk and later restored for a 2.5x cold start performance boost. Saving live container processes to disk turns out to be pretty whacky and interesting! modal.com/blog/mem-sna...

Quick post about those 'latency numbers every programmer must know'. It became mostly an affirmation of @sirupsen.bsky.social 's napkin-math repo (bookmark it).

New goal in 2025 is to write one software essay with the zany energy of an All Souls College essay prompt: Does the moral character of an orgy change when the participants wear Nazi uniforms? thundergolfer.com/all-souls-so...
