  1. Beyond Uptime: Reliability Engineering for AI Infrastructure

    When a 2,048-GPU training cluster running a 400-billion-parameter model sees its iteration time double without triggering a single alert, firing a CPU panic, or dropping a single packet, you don't have a machine health problem : you have a coordination failure. Beyond Uptime is the definitive field guide for Site Reliability Engineers, platform leads, and cloud architects tasked with keeping frontier AI compute running at peak efficiency. Moving beyond deceptive "GPU Utilization" charts, this book uncovers the hidden mechanics of barrier synchronization, lossless network congestion cascades (PFC/ECN), silent PCIe downtraining, and Silent Data Corruption (SDC). Packed with eBPF tracing methods, streaming gNMI telemetry rules, statistical tail analytics (MAD/CUSUM), and dynamic circuit-breaker strategies, Beyond Uptime gives you the battle-tested framework needed to isolate stragglers in minutes rather than days. Stop paying the silent tax on your AI infrastructure!

  2. Programming in System Fω using Dhall

    Why is Dhall is the most powerful and safe language for templated configuration files? Because Dhall implements System Fω, the type system at the core of Haskell - the most powerful type system short of adopting full dependent types. I found Dhall to be a delightfully lucid vehicle for learning the core patterns of functional programming. Non-Turing-completeness for the win!

    Use Vim Like A Pro
    Learn to Understand and Use Vim Effectively
    Tim Ottinger

    This may be the one tiny book that changes your experience vim from one of "memorizing random key sequences" to "composing vim commands."This is an intentionally small micro-book, not a comprehensive guide to all the features of this amazingly powerful editor. The tutorial can elevate your practice and enable deeper learning and better retention of vim commands. Go from "conversant" to "capable" more rapidly than you expected!
