Optimizing RoCE for 100K Blackwell GPUs
The industry is currently obsessed with TFLOPS. With the unveiling of NVIDIA’s Blackwell B200 and the liquid-cooled GB200 NVL72 racks, the numbers are staggeri…
TLA+ and the Unkillable AWS S3 Control Plane
Imagine this: You’re a senior SRE at a FAANG company. At 2:37 AM, an alarm screams. The request latency on your control plane just spiked by 400%. Your first i…
Global Vector Databases: Outrunning the CAP Theorem
Imagine you are building the next generation of AI-native applications. A user in Tokyo asks a complex, nuanced question to your semantic search engine. A spli…
Scaling Roblox’s Global UGC Pipeline
Imagine, for a second, the logistical nightmare of a digital world that never stops changing.
eBPF: Transforming Modern Infrastructure Through Kernel Visibility
For decades, the Linux kernel was a walled garden. If you wanted to change how the networking stack handled packets, or if you needed a new type of observabili…
RNA Upgrade: Biotech Beyond Linear
We just lived through the greatest rapid-scale deployment of biological code in human history.
Subsea Cables as the Future of Distributed Compute Nodes
Most engineers view the ocean as a giant, salty void—a 3,000-mile "dead zone" that packets must traverse to get from a data center in Ashburn, Virginia, to one…
Engineering Phage Endolysins: Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobials for the Post-Antibiotic Era
Subtitle: How we’re hacking bacteriophage evolution, one catalytic domain at a time, to build the next generation of programmable antimicrobials.
Sub-Millisecond Global Semantic Search via Geo-Replicated Vector Fabrics
The speed of light is a stubborn constant. In a vacuum, it’s roughly 300,000 kilometers per second. In fiber optic glass, that drops by about 30%. For a softwa…
