My DGX Station https://t.co/n8fQ93PcDr died AGAIN and Nvidia is again shipping me a replacement unit. First was a cooling pump, then an NVLINK failure, now a CPU overheat. Good service, but a lemon of a $150k product.
As it's been ~3 years, figured I'll answer "What caused the Uber Eats glitch that allowed ordering free food for a weekend in India?"
This was an outage on my watch. Given Quora is paywalled - can't post the answer w/o a sub - here's the story on idempotency & breaking changes:
So many misconceptions in this story:
1. log4j wasn't a software development issue
2. CEOs aren't going to help you solve the problem
3. the problem doesn't need government help

1/n OK, let me explain what's going on with the Facebook right now.
First, let's talk "routing". The Internet is a mesh of routers that forward packets. Packets go from source through a series of routers until they reach their destination.
Imo, there is room for there to be a "protobuf company". Enough projects and orgs are building on protobufs and the ecosystem is of questionable quality almost across the board. We need some full time focus on stuff like: generators, gateways, collab tooling, registries, etc.
If you were perplexed by all of the tweets over the weekend about the death of security icon Dan Kaminsky, @nicoleperlroth has published a good profile/obituary about his life and work https://t.co/Cz8ATx9GY9
Well, yes, in 2000, Microsoft web servers were scalable and Linux servers weren't. It wasn't until a few years later that Linux added NAPI (scalable Ethernet drivers) and 'epoll()' (scalable TCP stack).
Microsoft already coalesced interrupts with NDIS and scaled TCP with IOC.
The thing about @dakami was his energy that comes from his crazy ideas being right. He's knows you'll think he's weird -- but he's not worried about it because sometimes he's been right.
I guess theres no hiding it now. We lost @dakami yesterday. One of the brightest lights in infosec and probably the kindest soul I knew. The vacuum he leaves behind is impossible to measure. Please keep speculation to yourself and be respectful of his family and friends.
RIP @dakami. u were not only a brilliant hacker and artist but also a great friend. i’ll never forget how u paid for my trip to Toorcon so i could speak there, or all the times u were on ur laptop in the middle of a party debugging the giant LED cubes u built. thx for all the joy
A very long time ago, @dakami didn't think I was a joke, and helped convince me of that as well. If you asked me to name someone enormously kind in InfoSec, his name likely would have come first.
He even insisted on sending me a care package, with a note I have now lost. 😔
Just heard sad news about @dakami. Too many memories but two stand out: sitting at edge of pool 1 at AlexisPark at 3am feet dangling in water talking philosophy; having Sun lunch w/ him and his grandma after I wrote story about “session cookies” she baked for his DNS talk @DefCon
The best engineer I've ever worked with was this senior engineer at Amazon.
When hired he asked so many questions. He seemed to know nothing. Some wondered why he was leveled so high.
6 months later he knew more about the internal tools than people who'd been there 5 years.
