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 human commentary or clever engineering tricks. Current

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 and reliability advantages. Such implementation can also del

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 co-authored some 10 years ago: https://github.com

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 ever observe it for en

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. 2. Google has a huge need for internal AI/DeepLe

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 end up with constantly spinning EC2 cluster. Even if you don'

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 hosting has such a bad reputation for being insecure (despite

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 mathematically proven to be secure. 2. Prior testing. It is es

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 not same on Linux. First of all kernel exploits by process a

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 technologies. How they can be? The were designed to completely differe

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 anything security-related. And if you think you have a good i

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 too bulky for such acrobatics.

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 5. EC2<->S3 bandwidth is not that fast or efficient

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 it is scary even to think about securing all of it and not le

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 group within single institution where all know each other. 2

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 resources accesses become impossible as they are not even addre

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 as XEN/KVM. Now let me address your concerns one by one: 1.

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 NACL. It uses NaCl, moreover we explicitly refrained to touch

1. ZeroVM abstraction is C including full support for native inline assembly/intristics. Make your own conclusions about portability with regards to platform. OS portability could/will be provided and it is piece-of-cake (for geeky overopt

In most cases within distributed computing you need either move the data or move the code. It could also be something in between with the case of "request" and "query", if they simple they are surely data, if they are complex they look more

Correct! I wonder how I missed this on zerovm site. For the folks not familiar with the issue, it is not about mobile phones :) With the emergence of large immobile datasets, software mobile agents may have a renaissance era... especially w

exactly! Further from being a different abstraction, container technologies (at-least in their current implementations of 'chroot on nukes') are not completely sealed or 'secure'. OpenVZ seems to be the most secured one over-there, requires
