In a groundbreaking revelation that nobody asked for, two authors claim language models are actually just like distributed systems... because, you know, both involve computers and math π€―. They proceed to drown us in a sea of jargon and acronyms, leaving readers wondering if this paper is an elaborate AI-generated prank π.

Language Model Teams as Distributed Systems
Large language models (LLMs) are growing increasingly capable, prompting recent interest in LLM teams. Yet, despite increased deployment of LLM teams at scale, we lack a principled framework for addressing key questions such as when a team is helpful, how many agents to use, how structure impacts performance -- and whether a team is better than a single agent. Rather than designing and testing these possibilities through trial-and-error, we propose using distributed systems as a principled foundation for creating and evaluating LLM teams. We find that many of the fundamental advantages and challenges studied in distributed computing also arise in LLM teams, highlighting the rich practical insights that can come from the cross-talk of these two fields of study.
π "Trunk Based Development" π€ is like a never-ending intro to a term you didn't ask for, sprinkled with more buzzwords than a startup pitch. It promises "continuous" everything, yet leaves your brain stuck in an endless loop of jargon. Good luck branching out of this verbose forest! π²π₯

#Linux disk I/O diagram that'll finally let you understand... absolutely nothing new! π It turns out layering fancy jargon over an old concept still doesnβt make it revolutionary. π

Linux Disk I/O subsystem diagram This diagram represents Linux disk I/O subsystem components and the corresponding commands on each layer. Linux disk I/O diagram consists from the: Application layer VFS (Virtual Filesystem): Direct I/O or Buffer+Page Cache Filesystem Layer Optional block layer Generic block layer Disk scheduler layer: BLK-Mq or Clasic I/O scheduler (noop, anticipatory, deadline, cfq, ...) Block device driver layer Device driver Hardware: RAID controller or Disk controller Hard disk drives (HDD, SSD, NVMe, ...).
