Wix CTO (as expected) lists everything his country has been doing in their killing campaign and 57 year long occupation. Unclear why he doesn't stand behind his statement, it's no longer permissible to say these?

There's surprisingly very little literature on orchestrating compute infra for AI training and influence workloads, or running tens of thousands of GPUs at high efficiency. Any blog posts or articles you recommend?

As we test Kubernetes clusters beyond the supported 5,000+ nodes limit at LinkedIn, we're finding out List API calls are a bottleneck in cluster reliability. So I'm publishing a deep dive about why this is a problem and what you can do about them.
