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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles
91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
5. The start
Studied EE at Berkeley, Stanford
Thought I was going to be a HW
engineer forever
Cracks in the foundation formed
● Loved my psych classes
● Dabbled in marketing
● Worked on and off as a SW
engineer
6. Intel: early lessons
Stints in engineering and
marketing
Ended up an analyst for the CEO’s
chief of staff
Got a crash course in business
and strategy
Loved the birds eye view, but
missed being on the ground floor
7. My first PM gig
Joined a new subsidiary of Intel
called Intel Media
Goal was to disrupt the cable TV
business
Got a crash course in being a PM
● Authority is earned, not
granted
● Make order out of chaos
● Identify and fill in the gaps
8. Continuing the journey
Now at YouTube working on
growth
Realized my hodgepodge
background can be an asset
● SW and circuit design skills
● Psychology
● Marketing
● Data analysis
10. A day in the life
Despite the variety, your role for
most meetings is to:
● Have clear goals and
outcomes in mind for each
meeting
● Be prepared with information
and data
● Drive each meeting to reach
desired goals
● Identify and follow up with
action items
12. Good PM/Bad PM
A ‘good’ pm will be a function of the
team, company, environment, product
Being a PM is both art and science
All of us can be bad PMs sometimes
13. My take
A good PM...
Does what it takes to deliver
Is self aware, asks for feedback,
and learns fast
Is the voice of the customer
Serves the team
A bad PM...
Thinks they are the boss
Goes where the wind blows
Has a weak grasp of who their
customer is, or should be
Doesn’t have a plan for what their
team could be working on next
month
