Every problem hides opportunities! I can see a future where documentation will be replaced by a plugin to an AI code service. Instead of providing users with documentation on how to use the package, devs will be training an LLM on how to assist the user in generating the interface code. An elaborate Chat GPT prompt for instance.

I am very curious about what kind of industry domains lets you have this kind of fun? Unless of course, you are in academia.

Maybe. Even when a PM is very technical in their field, they are not expected to know the nitty gritty of the broad area they tackle in a program. To come up with realistic programs and execute them successfully, a PM needs to know where are the boundaries of current knowledge, how much $$ is required to push research to transition to real tech... and sniff out bullshit being sold by research labs. Bullshitters or not, they need to be really good at sniffing bullshit!

Would love to see the GP video, but [2] is points to an unrelated video.

This is false, even more so for most Tesla models. Cars have a distributed E/E architecture where embedded software runs on several computers (called ECUs that range from anywhere between 10 and 100+). Most newer Tesla models are ahead of the curve and have a more centralized (zonal) E/E architecture with very few number of ECUs.

In summary, the infotainment system and the drivetrain definitely speak to each other and unless a secure architecture comes along, I would not discount the possibility of unintended interactions due to bugs. In fact, most famous car hacks start from the infotainment system and make their way into the drivetrain.

Maybe I got it wrong, but the eSIM seems to be enabling a corporate VPN of sorts here.

How is this even Zero Trust. Admittedly, there is no precise definition for ZT, but Cloudflare's solution seems to run counter to the idea of perimeter-less ZT philosophy. Instead of assuming that phones can be insecure and developing appropriate crypto based mechanisms, Cloudflare is proposing to bring the phone inside a 'trusted' network. Remember, ZT does not rely on trusted network.

Solutions like this will increase confusion and fragment the already 'interpretation led' as opposed to definition led ZT landscape.

The takeaways are very true. I would go further to say that not only is the story telling and the scientific vision a very important part of the sell, the language and terminology needs to be in sync with the reviewers. Often times researchers write very technical details in the proposal that is hard to parse and backfires.

In non-blind proposals, pre-communication is the key.

This also exists in control theory as the tradeoff between performance and robustness!

Portfolio of a slow but precise fuzzer + fast imprecise fuzzer is the easiest integration. Start both together and return the one which fails first. SMT solvers are often complementary with samplers.

However, it would be very interesting to see if a closer integration of symbolic and sampling methodologies is possible.

Where did you see that? USCIS in its bulletins never releases the number of years only the year it is processing. If you extrapolate the EB-1 wait for Indians, it is closer to 9 years, but most people are in EB-2/3 which is 50yrs out.
