Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
3. Intro
- I’ve seen 1,000s of early stage decks over last 2 yrs
- Most mistakes are relatively common
- And most mistakes are easily addressed
- This is a guide to creating your pitch deck
- Warning: it’s just one investor’s advice :)
Two parts to this walkthrough:
1. Five overarching guidelines
2. An example structure & flow
5. 1. A Great One-Liner
Think of it as your elevator pitch… in one sentence.
It’s a hybrid of:
- Your product / vision
- Your company purpose
- A starting point for the pitch
Common framework: “We are X for Y”*
*assuming X is attractive and Y is a big enough opportunity!
6. 2. Know Your Audience
Before crafting a pitch deck, understand:
- Who you are meeting with?
- What is the investor’s and the firm’s focus?
- Are there related investments?
- How much time do you have?
These influence your deck, the discussion and
likely questions you’ll be asked.
7. 3. 10-15 Slides
The deck is important...
But the conversation is more important.
Budget your time accordingly.
Allow for discussion alongside each slide.
10-15 slides. Max.
Will provide suggested structure later in deck
8. 4. Beware the Demo
For early stage companies, it’s all about product.
And the best mark of product is market validation.
Demos are great… but remember these four rules:
1. Be careful of time.
2. Don’t get lost in product.
3. Have backup if (when!) something goes wrong.
4. Give even weight to product & traction / data.
9. 5. Expect the Deck to be Shared
Whether you like it or not (!),
your deck will be shared (i.e. among partnership).
Goal: be equally compelling with/without voiceover.
How?
- deck should tell its own story.
- do *not* rely on builds, intricate slides.
- make the file size manageable for email.
- PDF or secure URL are great alternatives to PPT.
11. The Flow
The Big Idea
Why you?
The current problem
Your solution. Why now?
Traction & validation
What’s the future?
The ask
12. Remember: 10-15 Slides
The Big Idea 1-2 slides
Why you? 1 slide
The current problem 2-4 slide
Your solution. Why now? 3-5 slides
Traction & validation 2-4 slides
What’s the future? 1-2 slide
The ask 1 slide
13. 1. Vision
- Expanded company one-liner
The Big Idea - The big vision: today & tomorrow
http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is-the-first-pitch-deck-foursquare- http://www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-a-13-billion-dollar-startups-first-
ever-showed-investors-2011-12?op=1 ever-pitch-deck-2011-9#-1
14. 2. The Team
Why are you the right team for the problem?
- Include management team and advisors, investors
- Include bios with key, relevant experience
- Outline division of responsibilities
Think an expanded
AngelList team profile
http://angel.co/visually
15. 3. The Market…
4. The Opportunity
- Customer / consumer pains?
The current problem - How are they solving today?
- How will they solve with you?
Your solution - How is it different than market?
- Why is solution possible today?
Why now? - Why is it right for today, tomorrow?
- How big is the market?
- How big can you be?
- What value are you creating?
- Be realistic!
18. 5. Your Product….
6. Your Traction
You’ve set the stage…
now show off the product and traction / validation:
I want to know:
- is the product resonating?
- is it trending in the right direction?
- engagement, engagement, engagement
engagement data > user acquisition!
- What are your KPIs? Goals?
19. ReadyForZero: Product Traction
Traction can be shown
through acquisition,
usage, retention, etc.
ReadyForZero showed
user activity as
measure of product
efficacy:
Users pay-off debt 2x
faster than non-users
20. 7. The Future: 12mo & Out
So far, you’ve spent the deck outlining team, product
and success to-date.
Now talk about what’s next…
And how it ties into the big vision and the fundraise.
What are the next 12-24 months of:
- Product - People
- Performance - Finances
21. 8. The Ask
A pitch deck cannot crescendo without a clear ask
(aka what you are looking for):
- What size investment are you looking for?
- How long does it get you?
- How will you spend it?
- What are goals before raising the next round?
- How else can the investor(s) help?
This is commonly overlooked… but easy to create!
