Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

There were a lot of new faces and an improvement in the quality of presentations. Lots to learn from so be sure to check out the videos on YouTube. The deep dives were plenty to pick from and contained a lot of useful learning. A few highlights were the broadcasting of OpenRoaming with a few AP vendors. Additionally, this seemed to be the largest event for WLPC Phoenix with more than 400 attendees. Some of the memorable presentations included: Jerry Olla on roaming David Coleman on spectrum analysis Charles Clare on designing Wi-Fi for exams Firas Shaari on a real world example of HaLow Wi-Fi Wes Purvis on the differences in access points Jake Snyder on MBSSID Mike Atkins on deploying 6 GHz outdoor Jim Florwick on conference Wi-Fi Rosalie Bibona on Building an Enterprise AP Lee Badman about Leading Connor Burke & Dennis Burell Resources Link to all presentations → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXJsNZqZEF9YI_whgRZsCdER90QbKgaWx Wi-Fi Awards Winners → https://thewifiawards.com/2025-award-winners The post CTS 354: WLPC Phoenix 2025 appeared first on Clear To Send .…

https://youtu.be/JZKWQKZ3_Zo This episode on the EX4000 is sponsored by Juniper Networks. Rowell, François, and Abhi discuss the release of the EX4000 switch from Juniper Networks. Abhi, a product manager at Juniper, shared that the switch will be available on February 12th, just in time for Valentine's Day. The switch will come in various models, including 8, 12, 24, and 48 ports. Also discussed is the importance of switching in network infrastructure and the need for upgrades to support new access points like the AP47s. What’s new with the EX4000 is how quick the boot time is. 2 minutes for the EX4000 to get up and running. Another great benefit of the EX4000 is it is much quieter from the other EX switch line. This switch would go well in open office environments. It’s also perfect for higher education or retail environments. Out of the box the EX4000 will support CloudX and have additional telemetry. To work natively with the Mist cloud. It still operates on the same Junos and will be easily managed in the Mist dashboard.

Austin, from Nile Secure, joins us on the show to talk about how Nile is disrupting the networking industry. We talk about the complexity and challenges people face in managing and scaling their networks. What we were interested in learning about is how Nile Secure differentiates themselves in the industry. Especially, when it comes to network automation. We know that it can be difficult to find engineers who are good at both automation and network engineering. Where some companies fail is on their network automation initiatives. Many have the goal of automating more than half of the manual tasks. But how easily can this be achieved? Austin describes how Nile Secure has built a cloud-native network operating system that runs on their own hardware to deliver predictable outcomes. Where automation tasks start from day 0. Where Nile Secure places a strong focus is on network security. Implementing Zero Trust while eliminating the complex configurations that come with it.
