The early days at Sun Cambridge were special, I absorbed a lot about networking and the technical side of the role from my fellow systems engineer Martin Baines, and we were driving all over the region in cool company cars (I had a Citroen BX 16V) selling a really hot product.

The OSI Model is like a layer cake of how data moves through networks. This means it specifically looks at the content of the data (like the writing inside our letters from the analogy) rather than just the envelope.So, what is the difference between a Firewall at the application level and network level?Network-level

Systems researchers are doing an excellent job improving the performance of 5-year old benchmarks, but gradually making it harder to explore innovative machine learning research ideas. Performance on accelerators matters because almost all current machine learning research, and most training of production models, uses them.

I guessed that maybe ChatGPT only knew about v2 since it was trained on open-source code from before September 2021 (its knowledge cutoff date) and v2 was the dominant format before that date. To my surprise, it knew about v3 from its training data and generated a v3 manifest file for me in response.
