#747: Unpacking Automated Reasoning: From Mathematical Logic to Practical AI Security
Discover how AWS leverages automated reasoning to enhance AI safety, trustworthiness, and decision-making. Byron Cook (Vice President and Distinguished Scientist) explains the evolution of reasoning tools from limited, PhD-driven solutions to scalable, user-friendly systems embedded in everyday business operations. He highlights real-world examples such as mortgage approvals, security policies, and how formal logic and theorem proving are used to verify answers and reduce hallucinations in large language models. This episode delves into the exciting potential of neurosymbolic AI to bridge the gap between complex mathematical logic and practical, accessible AI solutions. Join us for a deep dive into how these innovations are shaping the next era of trustworthy AI, with insights into tackling intractable problems, verifying correctness, and translating complex proofs into natural language for broader use. https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/automated-reasoning/

#743: The Frugal Architect w/ Werner Vogels: The Ocean Cleanup's mantra: Start simple and iterate relentlessly
When Boyan Slat found more plastic than fish on a dive in Greece, he asked a simple question: "Why can't we just clean this up?" He was 16. What began as a humble project funded with pocket money has grown into a global initiative, removing millions of pounds of plastic from the world's rivers and oceans in the last decade. But simple questions don't always have simple solutions. As Boyan will tell you, simplicity is hard. Fight the temptation attack the biggest problem first. Relentlessly iterate. And most importantly, let your mission, not the technology, guide your engineering decisions. Read more from Boyan on thefrugalarchitect.com

#735: The Frugal Architect w/ Werner Vogels: Zillow's Chief Architect on why cheap ≠ frugal
Frugality wasn't something Craig Link learned on the job, it was passed down from his father, who would calculate the cost-benefit of driving for cheaper gas and meticulously track every tank's miles per gallon in a worn notebook tucked into the glove box. He would also pack sandwiches, toss them in a cooler, and store them in the back seat. These were early lessons in trade-offs. Stopping less, spending less, meant more time doing the fun things, like being on vacation. This mindset proved invaluable throughout Craig's career, from optimizing every little bit for dial-up gamers to architecting Zillow's massive cloud transformation. It's a reminder that innovation doesn't come out of thin air, it often comes from paying attention to the little details, relentlessly questioning assumptions and giving teams the tools they need to optimize at every level of the business. In an era of explosive cloud growth, a frugal mindset might be your most valuable architecture tool. Read Craig’s full story here: https://www.thefrugalarchitect.com/architects/craig-link-zillow.html
