Agile Australia 2017 - The Story of Mentorship
•
0 likes•66 views
If tech organisations are to thrive in the future, then we must build in a culture of mentorship. Not just as a means of learning, but as a way of generating human satisfaction in the work we do. I believe in the power of stories – not just as a source of entertainment, but as a way of parsing our interactions with the world and contextualising our “purpose”. When I do something, I put it into the context of what the story is – which if you think about it, is just another way of saying, “Why are we doing this? What’s the purpose?” We mapped out the many different models that people use when trying to teach DevOps. We’ve narrowed it down to three approaches (and three stories) based on popular films that will be explained in this talk. Attend this talk to learn: Three approaches to mentoring that worked in the DevOps world A more effective way of teaching That mentorship is a transformative occurrence for people The absolute need for more of it

Here are the key points addressed in the proposed research paper:
- The paper will examine the similarity of firearms legislation across U.S. states and its correspondence with federal legislation. The hypothesis is that the basic ideas and main approaches of federal firearms laws have been preserved at the state level.
- It will also analyze the diversity of state firearms laws and whether this is due to differences in gun violence rates, demographics, culture, or political/conventional approaches among states. The hypothesis is that higher gun violence rates do not necessarily result in increased restrictions at the state level.
- The research aims to determine if state firearms laws mainly mirror federal statutes or if they diverge significantly based on state-specific factors. This could provide

The document discusses how external influences can shape a person's morality and beliefs during childhood. It focuses on the characters of Kromer and Demian from the novel Demian and how they impacted the main character Emil Sinclair. Kromer abuses Sinclair and tempts him towards sin, weakening the foundation of his upbringing. Though Demian rescues Sinclair from Kromer's influence, he too molds Sinclair according to his own beliefs and perspectives, continuing the shift towards a darker outlook. Both characters play important roles in catalyzing Sinclair's transformation from virtuous to embracing more complex views of ethics.
What is Science?
Science is knowledge through observation and experimentation. It is facts of principles gained by systematic study. In order to participate in doing science, we must adhere to a "philosophy of science:" There is order to the universe, humans are able to comprehend this order, and scientists should be able to repeat experiments. There are two major kinds of science - empirical science and forensic science. However, science can't answer a lot of questions, and scientists often make mistakes.

Here are three possible interpretations of the phrase "Time flies like an arrow":
1. The passage of time seems to go by very quickly, in the same way that an arrow flies through the air.
2. Certain types of insects that lay their eggs on decaying matter, known as flies, move through the air in a similar way to arrows.
3. The idiom is using "flies" to refer to time passing quickly in an abstract sense, similar to an arrow moving swiftly through space.
The key challenges with natural language understanding are ambiguity and context. Even a short phrase like this one could have multiple meanings without additional context clues. Determining the intended interpretation requires commonsense reasoning abilities that computers still lack

It’s no joke: The IT industry is undergoing a maelstrom of change – ever-increasing data volumes, horrendous security incursions, the promise / threat of Cloud-based computing, and a gradual loss of its most talented people through age-based attrition. What’s needed more than ever is a revival of professionalism within our ranks, and it’s time for us to rise up as a community to strive towards that goal. Seriously - if you are just doing your IT job and are perfectly satisfied with your status in our industry, please don’t even bother downloading this presentation. (Just kidding!)

This is the slideshow of a talk I gave at Gnomedex '09 in Seattle, Wa.
It discusses the strangeness of humans and our prosthetic culture. From the externalization of our brains to the machine, to human/machine interfaces, to the blurring boundaries of public and private spaces, to the quick progression of our relationship with humans and computers --- to the strange fact that we externalize our fashion with exchangeable clothing. How our prosthetic devices make us sexy or not (vehicles, cell phones) and determine the speed at which we can live/accomplish goals. From the traditional prosthetics like the fake legs which amputees wear, to the prosthetization of our own tasks with virtual assistants and the 4 hour work week, to the idea that cell phones make give us superpowers -- the ability to hear MEGA-distances by extending our ears across the ocean. And finally, omnipresence and omniscience through social networking sites.

The passage analyzes the theme of security in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It argues that Macbeth was given a small amount of security by the witches' prophecy that he would become king. However, he put blind trust in their words without a backup plan. His temptation to overstep that small amount of security for more power and ambition ultimately led him to go to extreme lengths to hold onto the crown. In the end, his efforts were in vain, and Shakespeare uses Macbeth to show that temptation can cloud one's mind when given even a little security.

The document discusses the history and future of computing and communication technologies from the 1960s to the present. It notes that early visions from the 1960s envisioned an "intergalactic computer network" that could allow communication with aliens. By the 1970s, models of distributed computing using "particles and fields" were being explored. The document suggests that future technologies may treat applications and services as "aliens" that can communicate through open interfaces. It advocates moving beyond normal conceptions to an intergalactic approach that allows scaling across networks.

Huxley and the Flying Robot Monkeys
Unleash a cloud of minions to do your bidding!
Making CSS changes to existing projects is hard. Big refactors are even harder. Small changes to one component can impact others, creating unintended visual regressions. It sucks. It creates friction, discouraging you from changing *anything* lest you break something that already works.
Imagine a utopian future where as soon as a developer commits CSS changes, robots go through every page of the website taking screenshots, looking for differences. Those robots exist. And they'd love to meet you.
In this talk, you'll learn how to implement both personal and designer/developer team workflows for automated visual testing. We'll cover the basics of setting up Huxley, Facebook's new system for visual regression testing, and some related technologies. We'll also cover best practices—such as ways of spinning-up remote workers in the cloud for taking screenshots. This talk is an introduction to the world of continuous integration for designers and front-end developers.

Data Day Seattle, From NLP to AI
The document discusses the use of neural networks and deep learning techniques like word2vec and seq2seq models to develop representations of language that computers can understand without explicit symbolic representations or rules. It notes that while these techniques have achieved success, computers still lack a grounded understanding of language and the ability to reason about language based on real-world experiences and commonsense knowledge.

The document discusses innovation and provides 10 tips for spaces to learn and innovate. It emphasizes that innovation requires hard work, not just epiphanies. It also stresses understanding how innovations diffuse, improving brainstorming techniques, managing disruption, observing users, considering different perspectives, embracing failure, finding rule-breakers, building effective teams, and designing simple interfaces. The overall message is that true innovation is a process, not just ideas, and requires effort to implement ideas and get adoption.

Survival of the sneakiest natural selection lesson
1) According to the cartoon, the most "fit" organisms in the video game world are not always the biggest or strongest, but those with adaptations that allow them to survive and pass on their genes, such as being small, fast, or able to blend in with their surroundings through camouflage.
2) The document discusses the concept of "fitness" in natural selection using the example of a comic about crickets. While being large might seem advantageous, the comic illustrates how traits like being quiet can also increase an organism's chances of surviving to reproduce.
3) Three necessary conditions for natural selection to occur are: traits must be heritable, genetic variation must exist in a population, and organisms must be

This document outlines Dr. Brown's research interests which focus on developing computational tools and approaches to analyze large and complex biological data sets from non-model organisms. Some key points include:
- His lab works on improving genome and transcriptome assembly from samples that are difficult to sequence such as metagenomes, single cells, and samples with high polymorphism.
- He describes developing techniques like "digital normalization" which can speed up downstream data analysis by compressing raw data in a lossy but information-preserving way.
- An example project involved assembling 1.8 terabases of soil metagenome sequence data from various locations, finding little strain-level variation but that phage sequences were abundant

A Year Of Running Kubernetes, and the Importance Of Empathy
In a year, we had 100 production apps across 26 tribes running on our Kubernetes clusters; we drove ISO 27001 compliance across 12 products, and taught 200 developers how to build secure, production-ready apps. And we built this on a foundation of empathy, mentoring, and a belief in propagating change starting from developers up.
DevOps Girls - Launch Configs and ASGs
This document discusses how to use launch configurations and auto scaling groups in AWS to automate server creation. A launch configuration defines how to build a server, auto scaling groups determine how many servers to build using the launch configuration. Together they allow setting up servers automatically instead of manually, reducing errors while ensuring predictability and repeatability. The steps demonstrated will create a launch configuration, attach it to an instance profile, create an auto scaling group attached to the launch configuration, and have the group automatically attach instances to an Elastic Load Balancer.

Guild bounties
The document proposes a "Guild Bounty" system where NPCs in a virtual village post jobs/tasks for players to complete. Players can join groups of up to three people to work on tasks like killing monsters or harvesting berries. Upon completion, they report back to the Guild and are rewarded. It outlines guidelines for key elements of this process - a Kanban board to post tasks, using a communication channel like #devops to advertise available tasks like a "gong," forming groups in public channels, having a set time like 1 hour per week to work on tasks, and reporting results to earn rewards. It is presented as a way to experiment and enable people who want to work on ideas in parallel with organizational support
Building Stories around DevOps Mentorship
This document discusses different approaches to mentorship:
1) The "Die Hard" model of diving straight into problems, which provides experiential learning but is pairing-heavy.
2) The "Karate Kid" model of learning fundamentals in modules, which is repeatable but provides less experiential knowledge.
3) The preferred "Rocky Balboa" model of setting an end goal and modularizing knowledge needed to achieve it, providing the best of experiential and repeatable learning.
Effective mentorship requires supporting characters, goals for growth, and demonstrating character development over multiple sessions to find meaning and increase satisfaction.
Learning how to teach Ops.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.TrustArc Webinar - 2024 Global Privacy Survey
