Ideas: Ankit Maloo - The Bitter Lesson: Rethinking How We Build AI Systems
Ankit Maloo discusses the ideas that raw computing power consistently outperforms intricate human-designed solutions in artificial intelligence (AI). It uses an analogy of plants growing without detailed instructions to emphasize how effective AI systems can work when given the basics.
Ankit Maloo provides a real-world scenario of building customer service automation systems and different approaches used, such as rule-based methods, limited-compute agents, and scale-out solutions.
Ankit Maloo talks about the potential breakthroughs in Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents by 2025 that will discover entirely new ways to solve problems. Ankit Maloo gives recommendations for AI engineers on how to approach system design, emphasizing starting simple and scaling up with compute rather than adding complexity, designing for scale, and avoiding premature optimization. Ankit Maloo concludes by stating that the winners in AI will be those who can effectively harness the most compute power rather than having the cleverest algorithms.
GitHub Repo: Kubernetes History Inspector
Kubernetes History Inspector (KHI) is a rich log visualization tool for Kubernetes clusters. KHI transforms vast quantities of logs into an interactive, comprehensive timeline view. This makes it an invaluable tool for troubleshooting complex issues that span multiple components within your Kubernetes clusters.
No Prior Setup Required: KHI uses your existing logs, so you don't need to install anything extra. This makes setup easier and saves you time. Furthermore, you can use KHI to troubleshoot even past issues as long as logs are still available in your logging backend.
Effortless log collection: KHI significantly simplifies the process of collecting and visualizing Kubernetes-related logs. Instead of writing complex queries, users can leverage an interactive GUI. By setting the target cluster type, log types, and parameters such as time range and cluster name, KHI automatically generates the necessary queries and collects the logs for visualization.
Comprehensive Visualization with Interactive Timelines: KHI transforms vast quantities of logs into an interactive and comprehensive timeline view.
Resource History Visualization: KHI displays the status of resources on a timeline. It also parses audit logs and displays the resource manifest at a specific point in time, highlighting differences.
Visualization of Multiple Log Types Across Multiple Resource Types: KHI correlates various types of logs across related resources, providing a holistic view.
Timeline Comparison of Logs Across Resources: The timeline view allows users to compare logs across resources in the time dimension, making it easy to identify relationships and dependencies.
Powerful Interactive Filters: KHI intentionally loads a massive amount of logs into memory. This enables users to interactively filter logs and quickly pinpoint the information they need within the large dataset.
Cluster Resource Topology Diagrams (Early alpha feature): KHI can generate diagrams that depict the state of your Kubernetes cluster's resources and their relationships at a specific point in time. This is invaluable for understanding the configuration and topology of your cluster during an incident or for auditing purposes.
GitHub Repo: pussh
pussh is a parallel SSH, batch, and command line oriented tool that enables you to execute bash commands across several hosts.
pussh has been an internal tool at Bearstech since roughly 2008. It started with 4 or 5 lines of shell and quickly evolved to its current form.
It's still heavily used on a 500+ cluster server, and most of the time reach all of its targets in about 10 seconds. It is coupled to a cloud management solution to generate a useful list of hosts from very simple descriptions.
Limitations
Remote's stdout and stderr ends mixed up in the same stdout stream.
There is no way to use the remote exit status.
Ideas: Dave Kellogg - Career Development: What It Really Means to be a Manager, Director, or VP
Dave Kellogg discusses the problems with leveling jobs in an organization and instead presents three meaningful levels for people managers:
Managers are paid to drive results with some support. They have experience in the function, can take responsibility, but are still learning the job and will have questions and need support. They can execute the tactical plan for a project but typically can’t make it.
Directors are paid to drive results with little or no supervision (“set and forget”). Directors know how to do the job. They can make a project’s tactical plan in their sleep. They can work across the organization to get it done. They get shit done.
VPs are paid to make the plan. Say you run marketing. Your job is to understand the company’s business situation, make a plan to address it, build consensus to get approval of that plan, and then go execute it.
Ideas: Annie Vella - The Software Engineering Identity Crisis
Annie Vella discusses the ideas around the changing identity of software engineers in the era of AI. Traditionally, software engineers derive their identity from building things through coding. However, AI coding assistants are transforming them into orchestrators and overseers rather than builders.
This shift can challenge their sense of identity as they face a crisis. The moments that brought them satisfaction in their craft, such as solving complex problems or optimizing code, may now be taken over by AI. They are forced to focus on skills like prompt engineering, which involves refining communication skills for AI tools instead of coding.
The article acknowledges the irony of software engineers being pushed towards managing responsibilities and wonders if this shift will lead them to become system thinkers and high-level architects. It also shares real-life examples and research findings that illustrate how AI is transforming their role from creators to overseers.
