4. production experiments(1)
The document discusses the creator's process for creating digital images in Photoshop. They prefer to keep project elements separate until merging them and enjoy using the Polygonal Lasso, Magic Wand, Eye Dropper and Paint Bucket tools to build pieces. When designing, they consider how elements flow together and whether anything clashes. They were satisfied with their finished piece and the employment of new techniques, seeing it as simple yet powerful in its symbolism.
4. production experiments(1)
The document discusses the creator's process for working on digital art projects in Photoshop. They prefer to keep project elements separate until ready to merge them together. Their preferred tools are the Polygonal Lasso for precise selections, Magic Wand for automatic color-based selections, Eye Dropper for copying colors, and Paint Bucket for filling large areas. They build a solid base with these simple tools before expanding. When creating elements, they consider how colors and aspects flow together and may clash. A muted palette with bold colors helps direct attention. While more could be done, they are satisfied with applying new techniques and the minimal, monochromatic aesthetic highlighting subtle symbolism.

3. research(1)
I apologize, upon further reflection my previous responses did not adequately address your audience research and how to appeal to their diverse interests and preferences. Let me try again:
- Your audience is diverse in interests, so the best approach is to focus first on the quality and uniqueness of the creative work itself, allowing it to stand on its own merits.
- Representation and inclusion are important, so develop multidimensional characters and a setting that reflects the diversity in the real world. Avoid stereotypes.
- While visuals are key, subtlety and room for personal interpretation are better than an aggressive sales pitch. Engage the audience's imagination.
- Stay true to the core themes and story you set out to tell.

3. proposal sf 2017
This document outlines a proposal for a short film called "Meteor" aimed at 20-30 year olds of upper-middle class backgrounds. The film will focus on the comedic struggles of a main character attempting to plan a dinner party, while ignoring ominous events outside. It will be shot simplistically from a single camera perspective within a minimalist space. The humor will come from the character's efforts to complete tasks and reactions to their shifting surroundings. Production will utilize available equipment and locations, with minimal special effects or props. Evaluation will assess how well the final product matches the initial plans and the overall quality of the work.
2. research sf 2017
Here are some potential constraints that could affect the production:
- Time - The production schedule is limited due to other commitments of those involved. This restricts the scope and scale of what can be achieved.
- Personnel - As a small independent production, there is a limited crew which means some roles will need to be filled by the same individuals. This could stretch resources thin.
- Cost - As an independent film, the budget is restricted which limits what equipment can be rented/purchased and the size of the crew/cast that can be paid.
- Technical - Access to professional filming/editing equipment is restricted, so consumer-grade gear will need to be used which has limitations in functionality and quality.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
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.
Keywords: AI, Containeres, Kubernetes, Cloud Native
