With each of the past 3 Ruby releases, YJIT has delivered higher and higher performance. However, we are seeing diminishing returns, because as JIT-compiled code becomes faster, it makes up less and less of the total execution time, which is now becoming dominated by C function calls. As such, it may appear like there is a fundamental limit to Ruby’s performance.
In the first half of the 20th century, some early airplane designers thought that the speed of sound was a fundamental limit on the speed reachable by airplanes, thus coining the term “sound barrier”. This limit was eventually overcome, as it became understood that airflow behaves differently at supersonic speeds.
In order to break the Ruby performance barrier, it will be necessary to reduce the dependency on C extensions, and start writing more gems in pure Ruby code. In this talk, I want to look at this problem more in depth, and explore how YJIT can help enable writing pure-Ruby software that delivers high performance levels.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

23. Expectations of public access
“Publicly funded research data are a public
good, produced in the public interest, which should
be made openly available with as few restrictions as
possible in a timely and responsible manner that
does not harm intellectual property.”
RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy
http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/DataPolicy.aspx
26. Benefits of data sharing (1)
www.nytimes.com/2010/08/13/health/research/
13alzheimer.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
“It was unbelievable. Its not science
the way most of us have practiced in
our careers. But we all realised that
we would never get biomarkers
unless all of us parked our egos and
intellectual property noses outside
the door and agreed that all of our
data would be public
immediately.”
Dr John Trojanowski, University of Pennsylvania
... scientific breakthroughs
27. Benefits of data sharing (2)
www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/apr/18/
uncovered-error-george-osborne-austerity
... validation of results
“It was a mistake in a spreadsheet that could have
been easily overlooked: a few rows left out of an
equation to average the values in a column.
The spreadsheet was used to draw the conclusion
of an influential 2010 economics paper: that public
debt of more than 90% of GDP slows down growth.
This conclusion was later cited by the International
Monetary Fund and the UK Treasury to justify
programmes of austerity that have arguably led to
riots, poverty and lost jobs.”
28. Benefits of data sharing (3)
“There is evidence that studies that make their
data available do indeed receive more citations
than similar studies that do not.”
Piwowar H. and Vision T.J 2013 "Data reuse and the open data
citation advantage“ https://peerj.com/preprints/1.pdf

Direct benefits to individuals
30. “Research organisations will ensure that effective
data curation is provided throughout the full data
lifecycle, with ‘data curation’ and ‘data lifecycle’ being
as defined by the Digital Curation Centre. The full
range of responsibilities associated with data curation
over the data lifecycle will be clearly allocated...”
www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/expectations.aspx
...institutional responsibility
31. Research funder data policies
www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/policy-and-legal/ overview-funders-data-policies
32. Ultimately funders expect:
• timely release of data
- once patents are filed or on (acceptance for) publication
• open data sharing
- minimal or no restrictions if possible
• preservation of data
- typically 5-10+ years if of long-term value
See the RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy:

Editor's Notes
Data storageoccure during both the active phase of research and for longer-term preservation. If there isn’t a data repository in your institution, check to see if there are any external subject based repositories that might be a suitable home. BUT REMEMER! If you are planning to deposit data in a repository, check repository policies on the formats that are accepted before you begin. Make sure that any normalisation procedures will not affect the usability of the data.
