My son had a good week. First, he was sent to an exposition at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The University has a CPU simulator in which they have implemented various hardware security bugs. They invited teams from around the country to demonstrate their tools for detecting the bugs. My son's team did not detect any of them. It instead fixed the CPU. LOL. It was quite a success.

Additionally, Joey received a formal summer internship offer from Intel. Last year, Rivos paid him at an annual rate of $88,000 - and he had to relocate to Santa Clara. During that time, he had to pay rent in both Santa Clara and San Diego! He made virtually nothing. Lesson learned. This year, Intel is paying him an annualized salary of $126,000, and he can work from his place in San Diego. It's only for the summer, but he's really happy.

A team my son is on designed a new security feature for processors. Its writeup was subsequently published by ACM. The paper had a dozen listed authors. Joey, the only student, was fourth. That's a subtle compliment given the tradition of ordering authors by their relative importance to the work.

A few weeks ago, the team presented at a conference in Vancouver and received the 'Distinguished Paper' award.

Last week Joey was contacted separately by three officials at Intel to encourage him to interview with them for a summer internship. Joey doesn't know if the contacts were independent or coordinated. (If coordinated, then it strikes me as rather weird.) I'll have my fingers crossed for him on that.
