Saying something is “obvious” without specifying an audience is meaningless.

(because obviousness is subjective and depends on the knowledge, experience, and context of the audience)

Notice the “IMO pretty” before the word “obvious”

IMO means “in my opinion.” I used that phrase to express how the following statement is my opinion and not a universal truth. My “audience” in this case is myself.

I do that because otherwise there’s always a comment saying how things like “obvious” can be subjective.

I also used the word “pretty” to, again, soften the word “obvious” so that readers don’t think that it’s a universal truth.

with some "no s, sherlock" on the ">1PB will require additional infra."

go on...

like people talking about 1gbit iSCSI, and no one thought to say that 120MB/s, which is technically slower than ATA/133 which came out twenty years ago, might be the bottleneck. Obviously 10gbit will be "as fast as a local drive"!

Yes, exactly right! This means you need to buy additional hardware, like network cards[0], and possibly gbic and fiber optics.

I updated the post. In this case, I meant "exotic" infra... e.g. 3FS isn't like adding more EC2 instances.

Adding ec2 instances is trivial, setting up 3FS is hard.

The authors are Chinese so they may simply use AI to make it sound right in English

I had a Chinese co-worker and something like this was actually his style of writing, no use of AI, because I was sitting next to him few times when he was writing documents.

some was AI generated, but I made sure everything was accurate. I'd normally rewrite everything, but I wrote this quickly before I had to leave the house. Didn't think it'd be on the front page!

Not judging you for using AI for a post like this!

Don’t feel bad. I just didn’t think AI generated bullet points were as impressive as the comment I was replying to did.
