Me: Can I run code relying on AVX-512 on [serverless compute product offered by my employer]?
Coworker 1: We don't guarantee that granularity of instruction sets, and also what the everliving fuck are you doing that made you ask?
Coworker 2: sigh you can set up a custom compute provider for your function to run on and restrict the types of nodes it runs on, but... wtf

@voltagex On a serverless function execution platform, apparently? A product manager DM'd me later with follow up questions after I said I got it working.

@ryanc is AVX-512 still considered that unusual?

@voltagex From what I understand, the platform is mostly used with Python and/or JavaScript.
