In most scenarios, the performance engineers have to run the one-man show role to make everyone educate/understand the performance challenges in the end-to-end full life cycle implementations. It is essential to understand what went wrong, why it went wrong, and what can be done to prevent it.

As you may remember, secondary education for web development and design is something that interests me greatly. WaSP’s InterAct Curriculum was specifically developed to help take some of the pressure off current educators in creating and maintaining a curriculum based on current industry standards.

FSD has a sense of purpose, a planning capability, has real time agency and responds to its environment via an ego model, predicting the behavior of pedestrians and other road users, and is being tuned to drive in a very human way, so that other road users interact with it as a predicable normal driver.

Most notably, ChatGPT is tuned to be overly-friendly and overly-agreeable (sounding like a customer service agent) so it will simply go along with whatever you assert. Thus, it will be important to design ways to both manage those risks and educate users about how to safely operate these increasingly-powerful systems.

I’ve always sort of mentally tuned in and out of podcasts as I listen to them, and that’s exactly why it works so well to listen to them when I run. In the warmer months, for example, I’ll switch to two long runs each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On strength training days, I’ll listen to some music.

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. This transition represents a big leap forward: it requires investment in people, in infrastructure, and in education.

To summarize: Focusing on ASYNC_NETWORK_IO waits alone as a tuning metric is a mistake. The faster a query executes, the higher this wait type will likely accumulate, even if the client is consuming results as fast as possible. Also see Greg's recent post about focusing on waits alone in general.).

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). If that seems wildly unacceptable, note that you can tune overcommit on Linux to not do this, and behave more like Solaris (see sysctl vm.overcommit_memory).
