"One weird trick" is still pretty much the first way to go for most recommendation systems that are large embeddings focused. see torchrec, nvidia's hugectr

really you should treat your entire cloud deployment (sans state where impossible) as cattle

AGNB needs some time to grow into longer format

they're literally 3 dudes in an RV without a working toilet

if they had BBC money they would live up to Theroux 100%

you only need two operators, the kubeoperator, the dataflow operator

and then every task is just a standalone, vertically scalable service on k8s or a giant horizontally scalable compute job

the thing is humans have most efficiently encoded (in detail) reality in text. humans already highlight what is worth encoding about reality.

for example, you can finetune gpt-2 to have an idea of sexual biology by having it read erotica. just like how you can have a model learn the same by watching porn. but it is much more efficient to read the text, since there is much less information that is "useless"

AGNB is the spiritual successor to Louis Theroux

it's what Vice tried to capture but failed. parachute journalism works, only if you inject very little of yourself into it and have minimal framework.

google deployment manager. it has incredibly subpar support for other GCP services. all support interactions resort to them suggesting migration to Terraform. we do use it in production, but not without great headache.

this isn't an explicit kill-off, but certainly purposefully offering bad support
