New comment by cheptsov in "That's a Lot of YAML"

That’s the problem people IMO don’t understand - flexibility is one of many requirements; simplicity and ecosystem around are two more.

Hating YAML is same as being childish - yo using like something but can’t come up with anything better. Worse than YAML can be only complaining about YAML. Hating YAML is a cliche.

Its much easier to come up with jokes like this website than to change the ecosystem for better.

And I definitely think the websites like this is opposite to the engineering approach.

Not defending YAML though in particular.

Edit: grammar

Next time the author would like to write an article like that, it’s better that they offer a new standard that is as flexible while also doing the work YAML is doing today

What surprises me even more is why Bill Gates writes this kind of bizarre, low-quality nonsense in the first place. What purpose does it serve? It’s so obviously shallow that it influences nothing and adds nothing to the conversation.

Is it me or does it read like pure satire?

Nice, we build something similar at dstack

We recently also added support for agents: https://skills.sh/dstackai/dstack/dstack

Our approach though is more tide-case agnostic and in the direction of brining full-fledged container orchestration converting from development to training and inference

Finally a step in the right direction. This brings the best of two worlds: the lightweightness of Fleet and agents battle-tested with Junie/IntelliJ.

Congrats to the team. Can’t wait to try it.

New comment by cheptsov in "TPU Deep Dive"

cheptsov — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 14:32:06 +0000

It’s so ridiculous to see TPUs being compared to NVIDIA GPUs. IMO proprietary chips such as TPU had no future sure to the monopoly on the cloud services. There is no competition across the cloud services providers. The only way to access TPUs is through GCP. As the result nobody wants to use them regardless of the technology. This is the biggest fault of GCP. Further the road, the gap between NVIDIA GPUs and Google TPUs (call it „moat“ or CUDA) is going to grow.

The opposite situation is with AMD which are avoiding the mistakes of Google.

My hope though is that AMD doesn’t start to compete with cloud service providers, e.g. by introducing their own cloud.

Yea, makes sense

cheptsov — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 15:04:44 +0000

I believe my original sentence was accurate. I was expecting the article to provide an objective comparison between TPUs and their main competitors. If you’re suggesting that El Capitan is the primary competitor, I’m not sure I agree, but I appreciate the perspective. Perhaps I was looking for other competitors, which is why I didn’t really pay attention to El Capitan.

Are you suggesting NVIDIA is not a competitor?

cheptsov — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 14:16:52 +0000

I think it’s not misleading, but rather very clear that there are problems. v7 is compared to v5e. Also, notice that it’s not compared to competitors, and the price isn’t mentioned. Finally, I think the much bigger issue with TPU is the software and developer experience. Without improvements there, there’s close to zero chance that anyone besides a few companies will use TPU. It’s barely viable if the trend continues.
