U was wondering why my API calls to move that 100PB of data to an S3 bucket was timing out! @AWS retired the Snowmobile. Sounds like an opportunity for the CTO Advisor Airstream. 😂 https://www.cnbc.com/...

AMD needs to show movement at the software layer. How do you take a model from @huggingface and run it on a system with MI300X in a seamless manner? Looking forward to understanding the AMD technical story a little better.

Let's debunk this System on a Chip (SoC) idea with @VMware and @Broadcom. Everyone points to @Apple M1 as the roadmap. If it's the roadmap, how do you squeeze more than a decade of work into the few quarters the Street will give VMware and AVGO for DPU?

Quoted in the @Reuters piece. IMO a Hock run VMware will make a ton of money by slashing R&D efforts if not spend on paper. VMware has tried lots of stuff that didn't work. Hock will eliminate that culture and focus on what sales today. Cash cow. https://www.reuters.com/...
