Everything you know is wrong (Ivor Tymchak)
An exploration of the fallibility of human consciousness and knowledge.
How to get ahead in business the Boulton & Watt way (Matt Edgar)
The document is a photo on Flickr of a man standing on a beach at sunset. In the background are rolling hills and the ocean as the sun sets in the distance. The photo captures a scenic moment on the beach at dusk.
Incompatible Couplings (Steve Manthorp)
As human-robot relationships become more common, safety guidelines are needed to prevent physical or emotional harm. Researchers propose guidelines for intimate interactions with robots, including obtaining consent, focusing on mutual care and responsibility rather than domination, and designing robots that can clearly communicate their capabilities and limitations to partners. Compatible human-robot couplings require consideration of ethics, design, and education to ensure the well-being of both parties.
Somethin bout nofin (Maz Hardey)
The document appears to be slides from a presentation that discusses various topics but does not provide much context or clear narrative. It references sociologists, illusory mirrors, quotes from authors, improving stacking, and the intrusion of mass inquiry on the internet. The slides include numbers but it is unclear what the overall presentation is about based on the excerpt provided.
Making things for real people (Dean Vipond)
How to avoiding designing things for the 'average user' and start thinking about real people with real needs.
Ownership of web content
This presentation is designed to accompany Calder High's "Modern bridges, connectivity in the C21st" day on 1st July 2010.
The central question for the day is "Is the Internet a force for good", but I'll be focussing on one particular area - the ownership of content.
Masquerade (Guy Dickinson)
This document tells a mysterious story from the 1970s involving puzzles, art, games and cow dung that captivated a nation. It references a burial, memories of a book, and a search for a solution, but provides mostly random text and leaves the overall plot and resolution unclear.

The New Federation (Julian Tait)
The document discusses the benefits of a new federation model that focuses on local politics and transparency. It suggests reconnecting people with democracy at the local level through evidence-based policy and transparency. This local approach promotes innovation, sharing of best practices between cities, and efficiencies through collaboration. The new model is likened to the "Fujiwhara effect" where smaller political units interact and influence each other, similar to how smaller weather systems merge under the right conditions.
TBC (Dave Mee)
The document discusses how information and knowledge are increasingly mediated through changing technologies, making truth and reality difficult to pin down. It gives examples of how Wikipedia entries, memories, and even identities can shift and be unreliable. As more of our interactions occur through online platforms like Twitter, this disconnect between representations and reality can grow, with impersonations and artificial connections becoming easier. However, these mediums also allow improved sharing of learning on a timely basis. In the end, the effects of this flux and increasing mediation are still uncertain and need more confirmation to understand where it may lead.
Design Truth (Matt Seward)
Design can often acquire ‘meaning’ never intended by the Designer. My talk explores how that happens and what it means for Designers.
Pst! The surreptitious beckoning of attention (Megan Smith)
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
The Equality Act: Shouldn't 'geek' be a protected characteristic? (Tim Medcalf)
A tongue-in-cheek look at how discrimination law is changing and how software suppliers may need to be aware of it when designing applications or bidding for work.
Prototyping a telephone service for the rest of humanity (Tim Panton)
This document discusses prototyping a telephone service for remote areas that lack cellular coverage. It proposes using open source software like OpenBTS to build a basic GSM network using commodity hardware for $50,000, which could interconnect with existing phone networks via Asterisk and provide service without relying on outside infrastructure. The goal is to demonstrate a self-contained cellular solution for places affected by natural disasters or lacking traditional coverage.
Embracing Teleworking: Pros and Cons of the Virtual Office (Sam Foster)
The challenges and opportunities presented by a fully virtual office, and what can make this an all-around win-win arrangement for employer, employee and the team as a whole
140 Characters to the Rescue (Herb Kim)
The document summarizes the history and lessons learned from the Thinking Digital conference. It describes how the conference struggled financially in early years due to increased cash income targets. Extensive marketing efforts were undertaken but financial losses were still double forecasts. However, ticket sales later took off without explanation, selling out months early. Customer feedback was very positive. It was realized that word of mouth on Twitter was a major driver of referrals. The key lessons were to focus on great content and user experience, empower communities to spread the word, and rely less on traditional marketing.
Digital Death & Virtual Suicide (Ben Dalton)
The document contains copyright information for Apple Inc., Nintendo Co., Ltd., why the lucky stiff, RubyInside.com, The Observer, Zach Gage, Ze Frank, Jason Rohrer, Tale of Tales, Lisbeth Klastrup, avantgame.com, Valve, Infinity Ward, Wired.com, and Persuasive Games. It also contains links and images related to games, suicide, and family photos.
Ignite Leeds - Introduction
The document lists 15 speakers at an event, including one speaker on safe sex with robots, two speakers on digital death, two on open data and city states, two on a pacific island, and three described as hat & glasses guys, along with a token Korean speaker. The event was Ignite Leeds in 2010.
Leeds 2.0
This document summarizes efforts from 2007-2010 to reboot the web and tech scene in Leeds, UK through a series of events including OpenCoffee, GeekUp, BarCamp Leeds, Ignite Leeds, and TEDxLeeds. It discusses lessons learned around using free tools to market events, balancing open vs. curated formats, and challenges with venue and catering options. The goal was to rebuild Leeds' tech culture after an economic downturn through collaboration and community building.
Wild Pockets (Shanna Tellerman)
The document discusses Wild Pockets, a game development platform that aims to democratize 3D game creation. It provides a free 3D browser-based game engine designed around shareable game assets, community features, and viral distribution through integrated monetization and analytics tools. Currently in early beta, Wild Pockets has over 4,000 registered developers, with 1,200 active developers monthly using its 25,000 game assets. The platform's goal is to help more developers compete by addressing challenges like market opportunities, funding, and experience.
The Future Of Games (Kaye Elling)
This document discusses how changes in the video game industry could benefit women. Specifically:
1) Traditional game publisher business models are changing as digital distribution and new revenue models like subscriptions become more common. This reduces publisher control and opens opportunities for smaller, more flexible development teams.
2) The transition away from large publisher-controlled development toward more entrepreneurial and independent models could lower barriers to entry for women in the industry by allowing for smaller teams and reduced development risks.
3) More flexible development approaches may help address the traditional lack of gender diversity in game development by providing alternatives to the large-scale studio environment that has historically presented barriers for women.
19: Leeds Industrial Heritage (Matt Edgar)
This document discusses the industrial heritage and innovations that originated in Leeds, England. It describes how Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen and carbonation while living in Leeds, and how Matthew Murray built the world's first engineering works and steam engine for the first commercial railway. It highlights other innovations from Leeds, including the first skyscraper-style building, the earliest motion picture, and the first traffic lights in the UK. The document encourages learning more about Leeds' history of people who asked "what if?" and pioneered many technological advancements.
18: Tweetfoxxy (Ian Forrester)
Dr. Foxxy is a new Twitter-based service that aims to help users anonymously meet and flirt with potential partners through analyzing social networks, tweets, locations, and profiles. It will proxy messages between interested users, recommend compatible matches, and keep users anonymous until both parties are ready to reveal themselves. Users can provide preferences and dislikes to their private Dr. Foxxy profile to help guide match recommendations. The service will also randomly introduce compatible users and pass messages anonymously between matched pairs.
17: The Politics of Patterns (James Boardwell)
The document discusses the politics of patterns and is authored by James Boardwell. It contains multiple links to Flickr photos and folksy.com shops and items. The document also contains navigation links to previous and next pages.
16: Phil Hemsted's Psycho Teams and the Theory of Mind
This document discusses teams and theory of mind through references to Joy Division, Charles Darwin, Facebook, Francis Galton, and the big five personality traits. It examines hunter-gatherer societies, reading eyes, gender differences, small teams, and self-replication while questioning why things are measured and which direction to go regarding teamwork.
15: The Future Of Reading (Guy Dickinson)
The document discusses the future of reading in light of new technologies. It notes how television can breed ignorance through misinformation but also quotes lyrics criticizing television's effects. It then contrasts Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' 2002 view that purchasing a book grants rights to resell, loan, or give it away, with Amazon's 2007 Kindle terms of service prohibiting selling or distributing digital content to third parties. This raises questions about how digital technologies and services may impact individual ownership and sharing of reading content.
14: Mass customisation and the one-to-one future (Glen Smith)
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 while increasing capacity and lowering emissions, representing a smarter path forward towards mass customized products at mass production prices.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
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.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
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.

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.HCL Notes und Domino Lizenzkostenreduzierung in der Welt von DLAU

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
