Why is it hard to train a model like Llama 3 405B?   It takes months to train a LLM. In the case of Llama 3 405B, it took 54 days to do a pre-training only. During this time, the team faced 466 job interruptions, which means you must stop training and fix some problems.   47 interruptions were caused by planned maintenance. 78% of interruptions were related to hardware issues, and 58.7% to GPU issues. Only one faulted GPU could stop the entire 16K GPU cluster. Nevertheless, the team achieved 90% effective training time.   Hardware and software problems were not the only ones causing delays. Daily temperature changes caused 1-2% throughput variation. Also, due to the synchronous nature of training, thousands of GPUs increase power consumption at the same time, which puts to the limit the power grid of a data centre.   The paper mentions training instability. Training instability often takes the form of a loss spike, which might lead to interruptions in the training process. Google has reported up to 20 loss spike events during the training of the PaLM model. It looks like Meta has found a receipt for this problem. Meta uses a smaller batch size of 4M tokens at the beginning of training and increases the size to 16M at the end. This procedure leads to fewer loss spike events and no interruptions.

If you're a generalist, you'll thrive at smaller companies where you'll get scope to work on different kinds of things. If you're a specialist, larger companies might be more your pace as you get to focus on that one thing that you enjoy. Which type are you? #softwareengineering #devops #sre #it #podcast

I love using engineering terms in recruiting, I talked about it with a great software engineer Vic ‎ :). ✅standardization: hiring processes that really measure what you want to measure at each stage, allowing candidates to be evaluated without bias. ✅documentation: having clear bases of how the processes are carried out, guides and tools that make the talent team a real advisor. ✅Iterate: if something is not working, call it a process, etc., change it and fail quickly. This is what you can expect from me on your recruiting team 🙋🏾‍♀️🌟that's why you hired me. thanks for the support and support.

Observability into your software development life cycle isn't just something you might need in the future - it's an important opportunity to streamline your approach. As Daniela Miao put it to me on Dev Interrupted: “By giving more visibility into what's happening with your software, your application, you actually do enable development to be faster as well. It's not just insurance for when something goes wrong.” Daniela joined me for a conversation on why she sees observability as a success catalyst, and the strategies she uses to build trust + align technical projects with business objectives - check it out on Substack 👇 https://lnkd.in/ggGirvBd

Nearshore is not better than offshore software development. After doing this for 5 years, here is what you need to know about the difference. There are THREE key things you need to consider. #1: You need 2-3 hours of daily overlap Work with a firm that has a minimum of 2-3 hours overlap a day with the rest of your team. That is plenty of time to collaborate and meet every day. The dev agency you are working with can easily achieve this by their employees shifting their work schedules. At my company, Full Scale, most of our developers work until midnight their time to achieve this shift. #2 The dev agency needs to accommodate to you I've heard many stories of developers having to work at 8-10pm to take meetings with their dev team in India. That is a terrible idea. If you are hiring a dev agency to work with you, they should accommodate you, not the other way around. Your local US employees HATE working all day to then also have meetings all night. #FailWhale #3 Visiting your team The third consideration of "nearshore" would be visiting with your team, or them coming to your office. The reality is, this rarely ever happens. After owning a dev agency with 300 employees for 5 years, this has only come up 2-3 times. We have all embraced and gotten used to being fully remote. It just isn't needed. However, if you want to hire developers based on a cool vacation spot that also allows you to meet your team, I recommend somewhere with tropical weather and a beach. 🌴 --- In summary, the key is finding a partner you can trust that gives you 2-3+ hours a day of overlap with the rest of your team. The dev agency should accommodate your schedule, not the other way around. From my experience, hiring developers in Latin America can cost 50% more than in the Philippines. As long as you have the time overlap, it doesn't matter where they are. Need help? Full Scale can help!

🚩 Top Developer Red Flags to Watch Out For When Hiring a Software Development Team 🚩 Your experience with your product developers matters, because on it depends the success or failure of your software initiative. Whether you have an internal product team or a team leased through a software development provider (local, offshore or nearshore), your software product — and often your entire business relies on them to deliver on your vision or resolving a business problems using a software solution. Here are the top red flags you should watch out for: 👍🏽They Say ‘Yes’ to Everything: Beware of developers who agree to do everything you ask for without a question. They might lack critical thinking and sincerity. They should be sharing impact analysis on your constant change in needs and requests. 👉🏼 They Lack Accountability: Developers who don’t take responsibility for mistakes or miss deadlines can jeopardize your project. Accountability is key. Holding them accountable is critical. Daily scrum stand up meetings may need to be tightened. Scheduling demo day end of each sprint may help you see progress. 💽 They Give ‘No’ Access to Your Product Assets: Ensure you retain access to your codebase, Jira and dev assets right from the start. Reliable developers ensure you have full control over your product assets. 💁They Use a Black Box Approach: If they’re not transparent about dev processes or progress, it should be a major concern. Great development teams keep you informed and are engaging as an extension of your business. 🙋🏽They Are Never Available: If they are not available during the hours of operations and you have asked them to perform on a dedicated basis. They may not be entirely committed to your product development. They may be moonlighting on another project or not being sincere to you. Watch out for these red flags when working with developers and development providers, especially as they may be working on a remote basis and giving people freedom and empowerment to get the work done whenever and wherever. If you are struggling with your Software Product Team, let’s talk. —- 👋🏽 I help founders, funded startups, and enterprises with Innovation, AI, Agile Product Team Pods and Product-Market Fit (PMF). If this is you, pls follow me. ISHIR’s Team Acceleration is a powerful approach to build passionate culturally-fit product team pods with subject matter expertise. This helps our bold startup founders to attain speed to market and build a killer digital product. #SoftwareDevelopment #AgileDev #SoftDev #ProjectManagement #DallasStartupWeek BorderlessMind Dallas Startup Week sponsored by Capital One #DSW24

Mauricio Jorajuría, one of our Senior Software Engineers, shared an anecdote that really resonated with me: "A professor once told me, if you don't know how to design something, start with the idea of someone you admire and who is recognized." I would choose Dieter Rams and highly recommend his book: "Ten Principles for Good Design." When it comes to mobile 📲 , simplicity is key. Over 50% of global internet traffic comes from mobile devices (Statista). Aim for a clean, uncluttered interface that allows users to accomplish their goals with minimal taps or swipes. Remember, 85% of adults think that a company's mobile website should be as good or better than its desktop website (Think with Google). Building a community around your product can greatly enhance the user experience. Create forums or social media groups where users can share tips, feedback, and success stories. This not only provides valuable insights for continuous improvement but also encourages user engagement through creative collaboration. Ensure the community is moderated to maintain a positive and constructive environment. Why put so much effort into the UX/UI of a digital solution? Engaged customers can generate 23% 📈 more revenue than average (Harvard Business Review). https://rb.gy/rd47l1 - https://rb.gy/05wqmy - https://rb.gy/8s2pdg #UXDesign #UIDesign #MobileDesign #CommunityBuilding #ProductDevelopment #DieterRams

Many of our clients see a 40% increase in sign-ups after refining their offer. It’s the same process Pedro Cortés and I have used to help hundreds of software companies such as Baremetrics, Expandi, Microsoft, and Wavo create irresistible offers. The reason we emphasize this so much is simple: if the offer isn’t strong enough, no tweaks to your onboarding will save you. Driving more sign-ups is just a part of the equation. You need to attract the right kind of users who are actually motivated to use the product. You simply can't put a band-aid on a deep wound. You gotta treat the root cause, not the symptom. Nailing your offer can unlock: → More sign-up rates → More users getting to value → More users upgrading I've shared a free resource in the comments that teaches you step-by-step how to create an irresistible offer.

Someone has just been killed in Primavera 2 of Durán - Guayas - Ecuador, almost near the location where, according to an algorithm I designed to predict where the next violent event will occur. Last night I couldn't sleep; well, I can't sleep almost every day. I started programming an algorithm that would predict, based on past events, the most likely area where the next violent death would occur. Here is the screenshot of the results. Although the inputs are not with exact coordinates because I don't have them, it is important to remember that the accuracy of the prediction depends greatly on the quality and quantity of the data entered. This is still under development, so perhaps next time, it will be more accurate.
