Docker / containers are necessary but not sufficient. For example, in a machine learning CI / CD system, there could be a fundamental difference between executing the same step, with the same code, on CPU hardware vs GPU hardware.

Many CI systems try to strictly enforce hermetic build semantics and disallow non-idempotent steps from being possible. For example, by associating build steps with an exact source code commit and categorically disallow a repeat of a succes

Isn’t Drone also an example of the author’s ideal solution?

I do agree with the consistency thing. One bad culture failure mode is a case where one or two senior executives run amok enforcing their view of culture, while the CEO fails to enforce consistency and a bunch of other executives, directors

It’s really sad that you are blind to your own severe discrimination. If you think in sweeping generalizations like, “leftists make the mistake...” you really need to step back and spend time not commenting at all and work harder to gain mo

That you feel you are identifying solutions, or even a definition, not understood or pursued by people creating things like microinequity training, just reveals your ignorance. I think my earlier comment which you described as a “no u” come

sounds suspiciously actually like you don’t know what systemic racism is...

Posts that masquerade as “legitimate dissenting opinions just not getting a fair shake from the left by golly” but which really seek to undermine structures by which systemic racism can possibly be called out and held accountable for harm (

Thankfully this getting flagged is still routine. Can you imagine how sickening a place this would be if this kind of post didn’t get flagged? It’s horrific, yet parading around as if it was merely legit discourse that is snubbed unfairly b

Robust potential functions are a huge part of ML. Many people have researched robust potential functions for use as loss functions. Its use in ML algorithms predates use for SLAM, tracking algorithms, etc., which only used it after classica

I don’t see any reason your comment would be accurate. It all depends on trade-offs. If the goal is to reduce cost, then you could equally argue to get rid of medicare entirely. Clearly the goal (no matter what anyone’s separate normative o

Companies don’t pay financial rewards for doing the data plumbing work, yet it’s often much harder, prone to unusual failure domains mixed with high scaling, and carries more stringent on-call and incident triage responsibilities. Given tha

There are so many issues besides just saving for a downpayment. How will you keep a job that supports the mortgage? Companies are exceedingly disloyal and looking to cut labor costs whenever possible, whole industries go through huge labor

Your comment is exceedingly political. It’s unfortunate you mistakenly feel you are politically neutral and that you represent “actual” free speech, whereas companies who don’t choose to render services to insurrection-plotting fascists and

Generalization to previously unseen examples is one of the core components of ML models.

I think your perspective is actually way off the mark here. AI excels at long-tail problems where the cost of failure is high, precisely because human failure is such an expensive problem in those cases and the nature of long tail problems

“Root cause” is relative. To the CEO the root cause is “some engineering thing broke.” To the data engineer the root cause may be that a human config error led to a rogue process that caused a VM disk to fill up. To a quantum super-intellig

You seem fundamentally confused, for example with tools like Cython. Many extension module implementations in Python are literally as fast as pure C (not just nearly as fast with minor extra CPython overhead, but literally as fast as pu

You are incorrect. This is only true if you can precompute all sort orders (many types of sort orders cannot be precomputed and depend on additional context data only available at query time, especially for personalization or trending solut

Maximum memory per instance (8GB) is an extreme limit. Disk and CPU limits per container instance are also quite bad. And, laughably, for any workload just a bit out of reach for Cloud Run, GCP docs immediately recommend switching to GKE (a

GCP has vastly worse documentation than AWS unfortunately.

The resource limits are so severely restricted on Cloud Run that I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to Fargate. The space of use cases solved well with Fargate is far, far larger.

Wow, looking at this thread, you appear to either be just a troll stirring up racism arguments, or else you are yourself a sickeningly extreme racist. It is just bonkers crazy reading some of your comments on a usually civil platform like H
