I might be spilling some secret sauce here but...

Control theory is mostly based on physical devices and analog variables, so it does not often fit with software systems.

However you are right nonetheless. Large networks contain a lot of caching of different kinds and other forms of data replication.

Caches warm up by transferring data and the available bandwidth to do so is never infinite. Especially when flipping traffic between whole datacenters.

Most load balancing systems are simply unaware of this.

Re:Nim in 2020: A Short Recap on Thursday December 31, 2020 @05:24PM (#25597881)
Nim natively supports 64bit RISC-V since years and 32bit in the current devel.

Also, the compiler itself is built for rv64 in Debian.

The amount of unused computing and storage on personal devices is staggering.

Yet HN never misses the opportunity to dogpile on anyone who points this out: data trasfer costs, battery usage, jokes about the Silicon Valley sitcom.

As if most phones weren't connected to wifi and power for 10+ hours a day.
