Have you ever thought, “I wish it was easier to change JavaScript code programmatically?” Maybe you wanted to write or edit a configuration block in source code. Perhaps you wanted to generate customized algorithmic code. For many, this kind of thing seems inaccessible.
The tools exist, though. In this talk, Stephen Vance will look at how he has used recast and esprima to edit and rewrite JavaScript code, leaving the untouched code completely intact, including whitespace and comments. At the end, you should have enough knowledge to be dangerous and start to write the next automatic programming, AI, take-over-the-world, self-improving software.

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.

2. Have working code loaded. Disable sleep
mode and screen saver. Get hardware on
Wi-Fi if needed. Swap wallpaper for a
solid color. Sweep away distracting icons.
#1: Setup
3. Choose roles before presenting. 1 demo
driver. 1 speaker. It’s too hard to speak
and demo at the same time. Remaining
team are supportive extras.
#2: Play Your Role
4. Write down 3 key talking points. Serves
as a loose outline. Don’t script - it sounds
mechanical. Deliver your message
authentically. Small paper notes are fine.
#3: Speaker
5. Keep on the happy path. Straying from it
means potential disaster. When
something goes wrong don’t freak out.
Just recover gracefully.
#4: Demo Driver
6. Nod to support the speaker. Engage the
crowd with eye contact (don’t be creepy.)
Show your excitement. Be prepared to
answer judge’s questions.
#5: Supportive Extras
7. #6: Practice
Speaker and demo driver pitch out loud.
Talk like it’s for real. At least 5 times to
become comfortable. Give each other
useful feedback. Reveal annoyances.
8. #7: Relax
After set up and practice take time to
chill out. Hackathons are emotionally and
physically stressful. Meditate. Power nap.
Listen to music. High five each other.
9. Are human beings who respond to
stories. Might not be technical. Want to
be sold. Are curious about the future.
Will ask questions.
#8: Judges
10. Smile. Be confident. Vary your speech.
Delete “um”, “uh” fillers. Pause silently
instead. Stand straight. Keep hands out
of pockets. It’s a skill you can practice.
#9: Speaking
11. Believe that we want to understand your
work. Take us on a journey. Deliver value
into our lives. Inspire and inform us. Show
your passion. Build community.
#10: Audience
12. Remember great success is still yours for
the taking. Define what it will be. Meet
future colleagues. Learn something new.
Finish what you started.
Only 1 Team Wins Today
13. I can’t wait to hear of your
success. Share your story!
