The document discusses the history and future of saddles, horse riding, and saddlers. It notes how saddles were traditionally designed and produced through slow, highly skilled processes but are now increasingly automated and mass produced. It concludes that one company used design automation techniques to develop improved saddles that reduced fuel consumption and emissions while increasing capacity, demonstrating how such approaches can enable mass customization at mass production prices.

LSx Festival of Technology

FriiSpray is a virtual graffiti system that allows users to spray paint in 3D space using a Wiimote. It was created by Stuart Childs, Richard Garside, and Dave Lynch, and was inspired by artist Johnny Chung Lee's Wiimote whiteboard. The system uses an Optical Body Tracking (OBT) system to track body movement and translate it into spray paint strokes in a virtual 3D environment. Future developments may include opening the system up for collaboration between programmers, artists, and venues.

My Life In Twenty Graphs (Tom Scott)

LSx Festival of Technology

Graphs and data visualization have played a key role throughout Tom Scott's career as a journalist and author. He shares 20 graphs that have been particularly impactful or interesting to him over the years, with each graph telling its own story about topics ranging from demographics to technology adoption rates to political polling. These graphs provide snapshots into broader trends and issues while highlighting the power of visualizing information.

This document discusses the importance of planning for what happens to a person's digital assets after they pass away. It notes that with more assets now existing online rather than physically, like emails, social media, photos and videos, a new way is needed to handle the distribution of digital assets when writing a will. The document explores some of the challenges around people's perceptions of digital assets and inheritance, as well as legal issues concerning terms of service and data rights that must be addressed to properly distribute digital estates to beneficiaries.

Could Hardware Hacking Save Us? (Alexandra Dechamps-Sonsino)

Embracing Concurrency: For Fun, Utility & Simpler Code (Michael Sparks)

LSx Festival of Technology

The document discusses embracing concurrency for simplicity and utility. It argues that current programming tools teach concurrency wrong by emphasizing shared data and threads over message passing. It presents an approach using concurrent components that communicate through message passing. This avoids shared data issues while enabling reusable concurrency patterns through high-level constructs like pipelines, graphs, and backplanes. Examples demonstrate creating servers and streaming applications using this approach.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/ Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit. As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies. In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides

DanBrown980551

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. Power Grid Model The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services. Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability. Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization. What to expect For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned: -Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model. -An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024. -An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests. -An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257
