1. The document discusses the opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI), specifically explanatory knowledge models, in the diligence process.
2. It provides examples of how AI could help make the diligence process more complete by finding relevant files 4 times better and highlighting cases with 9 figure damages.
3. Probabilistic programming languages are mentioned as driving down the cost and time needed to build machine learning models, which could enable exploring more data and models in diligence.

TITLE: Process for manufacturing a DMOS transistor
ABSTRACT: In a new process of making a DMOS transistor, the doping of the
sloping side walls can be set independently from the doping of the floor region in a
trench structure. Furthermore, different dopings can be established among the side
walls. This is achieved especially by a sequence of implantation doping, etching to
form the trench, formation of a scattering oxide protective layer on the side walls,
and two-stage perpendicular and tilted final implantation doping. For DMOS
transistors, this achieves high breakthrough voltages even with low turn-on
resistances, and reduces the space requirement, in particular with regard to driver
structures.
20. Probabilistic Programming Languages (PPLs) drive economics
towards model building
● Shorter: Reduce LOC by 100x for machine learning applications
○ Seismic Monitoring: 28K LOC in C vs. 25 LOC in BLOG
○ Microsoft MatchBox: 15K LOC in C# vs. 300 LOC in Fun
● Faster: Reduce development time by 100x
○ Seismic Monitoring: Several years vs. 1 hour
○ Microsoft TrueSkill: Six months for competent developer vs. 2
hours with Infer.Net
○ Enable quick exploration of many models

23. THE PRUDENT MAN RULE
"observe how men of prudence, discretion and intelligence manage
their own affairs, not in regard to speculation, but in regard to the
permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable
income, as well as the probable safety of the capital to be invested"
