These include ETL pipelines, ML model training workflows, batch jobs, etc. Similarly, ML model training workflows usually consist of tens of thousands of training jobs within a single workflow. Advanced users can develop their own well-tuned docker image and let Maestro handle the scheduling and execution.

Though the AWS Cloud gives you access to the storage and processing power required for ML, the process for building, training, and deploying ML models has unique challenges that often block successful use of this powerful new technology. The challenges begin with collecting, cleaning, and formatting training data.

In the case of artificial intelligence, training large models is indeed expensive, requiring large capital investments. OpenAI, for example, has trained not just on publicly available data but reportedly on copyrighted content retrieved from pirate sites. But those investments demand commensurately large returns.

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.

The thrust of the argument is that there’s a chain of inter-linked assumptions / dependencies from the hardware all the way to the programming model, and any time you step outside of the mainstream it’s sufficiently hard to get acceptable performance that researchers are discouraged from doing so. Challenges optimising whole programs.
