How we knew it was time to leave the cloud

How we're solving storage and performance issues as we scale.

Introducing the Open Cloud Principles (OCP) - Sam Johnston

In light of the rapidly increasing (and at times questionable) use of the term "Open Cloud" I hereby propose the following (draft) set of principles, inspired

Linux Internals: How /proc/self/mem writes to unwritable memory - offlinemark

Introduction An obscure quirk of the /proc/*/mem pseudofile is its “punch through” semantics. Writes performed through this file will succeed even if the destination virtual memory is marked unwritable. In fact, this behavior is intentional and actively used by projects such as the Julia JIT comp

It's just hashed data, what's so complex about a blob store anyway?

Perplexity Computer uses cloud AI and local models on Mac, keeping sensitive files and information on the device.

Minions: where local and cloud LLMs meet· Ollama Blog

Avanika Narayan, Dan Biderman, and Sabri Eyuboglu from Christopher Ré's Stanford Hazy Research lab, along with Avner May, Scott Linderman, James Zou, have developed a way to shift a substantial portion of LLM workloads to consumer devices by having small on-device models (such as Llama 3.2 with Ollama) collaborate with larger models in the cloud (such as GPT-4o).

Understanding new Cloud Storage hierarchical namespace | Google Cloud Blog

The new hierarchical namespace capabilities bring file system optimizations to Cloud Storage buckets.

Ephemeral-AI-Lab/layerfs

LayerFS gives every agent an isolated, disposable filesystem fork without copying the shared base. Useful states become durable, deduplicated checkpoints with workspace-scoped tool history—ready to branch, rewind, or reuse across parallel development, environment experiments, and MCTS-style rollouts.
