• Amazon AI: Amazon’s Secret Weapon in Chip Design is Amazon - IEEE Spectrum

    a fun IEEE article about how amazon does vertical integration with hardware and some interesting nuggets about their engineering process. nothing paritcularly revelatory here, but the feedback loops that they operate on and the visibility into cloud scale problems is pretty interesting.

    a little on the duh side of things, but likely nice when you’re working in an enviroment with effectively limitless compute you really can just throw more CPUs at the problems. we’ll get there folks, we’ll get there.
