If both sides of your ssh tunnel (pub,private keys) are under your control, in theory, that's "zero trust".

Unless one considers the meta data such as src/dest IP are visible to Tailscale sw.

Right?

Maybe: if PCIe device in on BDF 00AA:BB:00, create the proxy device on 00AA:BB:01 and the typical PCIe utils that talk to default 00AA:BB:00 will stead be config to talk to 00AA:BB:01 node. Some wireshark plugin will get the sniffed data (io, memory read/write, DMA read/write, etc) from the virtual device interface.

Ideally, the setup might be genetic enough to apply to all (most?) of the pcie device/driver....

Can one make a PCIe analyzer out of your code base by proxy all transactions thru a virtual PCIem driver to a real driver?

Wonder if it is better to create separate localized app download such as gmail-japanese, etc.

Love to see an AI agent to auto transpile C (sqlite, apache, nginx, mariadb, etc) into rust and run all the regression associated tests and perf benchmarks and produce report on the porting processes and perf delta.

Any good options for wifi/wire gateway (opensource) that can filter and block spying?

If you do any npm install, pip install ..., docker pull ... / docker run ... , etc in linux. It is very easy to get compromise.

I did docker pull a few times base on some webpost (looks reasonable) and detect app/scripts from inside the docker connect to some .ru sites immediately or a few days later....

The feels like JS -> TS type of change on JS side, except that was done with transpiler (sp ? ).

Ask HN: Should LLM be able to translate C to rust as easy as English to Japanese

Tried that on Google's AI and gpt-oss with few models locally, the answers was not as good and I expect. Any idea on why? Not enough training materials over all?

Are there any researches/works/agents into use LLM to auto covert some/all C code to Rust?

Ask LLM to generate rust code from chat, usb, i2c, GPU drivers - build and test it automatically? Possible?

Or start with other "smaller" projects such as sqlite, apache, nginx, etc - possible?

New comment by tonyplee in "Intel discontinues Joule, Galileo, and Edison product lines"

Part of the reason probably more biz related.

CEO/CFO of Intel looked at the balance sheet every Quarters and make decision if they should continue to invest in ARM SOC (A few years back before they sold that div to Marvell.)

x86 has 50% + margin, #1 market position.

ARM is #4,5, 6 in market position behind TI, Qualcomm, Freescale and lossing $$$ every quarters.

One need to investment huge amount of $$$ continuously fundamentally at IP for GSM, LTE, Mobile OS Team, SOC team and there were almost zero chance to catch up with #1 #2 players of the time -- Qualcomm, TI, 8-10 years ago.

It looks like this is putting 4 8 cores chips on the same package to scale up the cores counts, etc.

What are some of the technical limit to if AMD to 2, 4, 8x this approach?

Only power/heat? IO should not be hard since pins on MCM should be able to scale out easily, right?

Sounds more like H-1B is just 21st century legal mean for the company to chain down those employees (like indentured servants of the past).
