My talk was on Innovation and Tipping Points, the first half was based on some content I’ve given before on how to get out of the way of innovation by speeding up time to value or idea to implementation. You need to be able to innovate fast enough to pivot or reinvent your business model and leverage the change.

Such applications track the inventory of our network gear: what devices, of which models, with which hardware components, located in which sites. Subsequently, many useful libraries get developed, making the language even more desirable to learn and use. We leverage Python to protect our SSH resources using Bless.

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. That said, after around 17 minutes Tensor Comprehensions does find a solution that outperforms a hand-tuned CUDA solution. Breaking out of the rut.

Rather than reimplement TCP/IP or refactor an existing transport, we started Pony Express from scratch to innovate on more efficient interfaces, architecture, and protocol. The ability to rapidly deploy new versions of Pony Express significantly aided development and tuning of congestion control. Emphasis mine).

Even with cloud-based foundation models like GPT-4, which eliminate the need to develop your own model or provide your own infrastructure, fine-tuning a model for any particular use case is still a major undertaking. Training models and developing complex applications on top of those models is becoming easier.

We have also reduced our underlying costs through significant technical innovations from our engineering team. This allows us to tune both our hardware and our software to ensure that the end-to-end service is both cost-efficient and highly performant. This was the genesis of NoSQL databases like Dynamo at Amazon.
