Deep Dishing on KubeCon 2023 Chicago

Ned’s List of Cool Vendors:

Hold My Asahi: Linux on the Mac
Episode: 81
Published: 11/07/2023
Linux on Apple Hardware?!? Say it IS so!
Asahi Linux’s principal objective is to allow Linux to run on Apple Silicon. This is the M1, M2, M3 chips that are proprietary to Apple, but based on ARM and not x86. They��re also (probably) eventually the only chips you will get in consumer grade Apple compute products. As we will see, these chips are amazing. They��re also firmly planted in Apple��s walled garden. Asahi Linux aims to democratize the awesome but monopolized hardware platform and let you run Linux, instead of just OSX.
Apple’s chip architectures are so profoundly different that it is hard to compare them in an apples-to-apples manner.
Linus Torvalds himself said in 2020 that he��d love to use the hardware to run linux
But the project is getting attention and support from major distros- most recently Fedora
Just this past week, the Asahi team reported a bug that could leave hardware in a ��difficult to recover�� state due to changes made to OSX
The installation instructions are helpfully available on the Asahi webpage
The flagship version going forward will be Fedora Remix

How to AI
AI has been in the headlines almost constantly for the last 18 months. But despite all that fanfare, ChatGPT��ing, and Faces being hugged; I have to admit that I still don��t know how it all works. Not that anyone really does, but beyond the prompt text I submit to a Chats GPT or Dalls ‘E’, I don��t know what is happening in the background. What is the software stack powering GPT 4? What type of operating system, orchestrator, and applications allow for the massive training models behind OpenAI? And what about the hardware? I know there��s a lot of GPUs, but there��s got to be more to it than that. I decided to dig into some of these layers to try and trace from the prompt down to the physical servers, and you get to come with me. So get in loser, we��re going to learn how to AI.
I bet OpenAI has published something about their stack… sorta
According to a post from 2016, OpenAI was using Python, TensorFlow, Numpy, Keras, and Anaconda
TensorFlow is a machine learning library with APIs available for Python and C++
Numpy is a Python package developed to support scientific computing
Flyte, a graduated project from the Linux Foundation that leverages Kubernetes
Nvidia H100 Spec Sheet
DGX SuperPod
Tensor Cores and CUDA cores, what is the difference?
Nvidia helpfully posted some example code using the cuDNN library
The Infiniband standard is a different protocol than Ethernet
Ultra Ethernet Consortium is focused on developing an open standard that meets or exceeds what Infiniband does today
Remember when Crypto was using as much power as the country of Argentina
AI is already on pace to match that by 2027

What is Business Intelligence (BI)?
When you hear someone say Business Intelligence? It��s probably that ��business intelligence�� is one of those famous contradictions in terms like ��jumbo shrimp�� or ��Congress in action.�� But in reality Business Intelligence is something we definitely know about, and are affected by, every single day. Surely you��ve heard of the term ��data driven economy?�� That��s the end result of an entire society analyzing, and in some way or another, monetizing, data. At its core, that��s all Business Intelligence is. The idea that you can take data, analyze it, either alone or in a population of other data with varying degrees of relatedness, and come up with new, actionable, insights
It was first formalized as a concept in 1865
Target being able to identify households with people who are pregnant

Just Flew Back From HashiConf, And Boy Are My Tacos Tired
HashiConf is (as the name strongly implies) the annual conference held by HashiCorp, creator of fine products like Terraform and a bunch of other things you might not have heard of.

Their software has been rebranded Vault Radar and is now available as an early access product in HCP Vault
They��ve now reworked Waypoint to be less opinionated
