French Revolution Day Two
Peasant unrest in late 18th century France and slave uprisings in the French colony of Santo Domingo (now Haiti) forced many aristocrats to flee. A small group emigrated to America and settled along the Susquehanna River between Wysox and Wyalusing, founding the village of French Azilum as a refuge. They built thirty small log homes including La Grande Maison, intended to house Marie Antoinette and her children but ultimately not fulfilled.
Section 112toupload
The document discusses critiques of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Some key critiques are that WTO treaties unfairly favor large corporations and wealthy nations, it creates a system of forced economic rules that discourage change, and major members like the US, EU, and Japan exert too much influence over smaller members. Decision making in the WTO and adoption of its treaties have also faced criticism for lacking democracy and detrimentally impacting citizens.
Opening Enlightenment Day
The document argues that natural science and reason can explain all aspects of life, including human society, and that progress is possible through applying the scientific method. It notes that Enlightenment thinking impacted the urban middle class and aristocracy in Europe but had little effect on urban poor and peasants who were more focused on survival. The document also defines a philosophe as a thinker unconstrained by religion who was critical of nobility and clergy and questioned human nature, government, and advocated for freedom, individuality, and social improvements.
John Locke To Upload
John Locke was a 17th century British philosopher who influenced political thought with his theories of natural rights and limited government. He believed that people are born with natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and that governments are formed through consent to protect these rights, limiting their power. If governments break the social contract by failing to protect rights, people have a right to remove them. He also advocated for religious toleration and separation of church and state.
Day 4 Wwii
The document presents 6 moral dilemmas that concentration camp inmates faced during the Holocaust: 1) Leaving a young, weak son behind to attempt an escape. 2) Warning leaders about a friend's plan to commit suicide and endanger others. 3) Obtaining needed medicine from an SS officer through unwanted sexual acts. 4) Killing an informer who spies for the SS. 5) Replacing names on a death list to save essential members. 6) Killing a newborn baby to save its mother from being sent to the ovens. Each scenario asks what choice the inmate should make in that terrible situation.
Day 1 W W I I Cont
This document discusses a PowerPoint presentation and how it symbolizes a purpose while providing commentary on something from a particular point of view, as indicated by elements that were drawn after certain events.
Berlin Wall
The document summarizes the history of the Berlin Wall, including its construction in 1961 by East Germany to prevent emigration to West Berlin, details of its physical structure, and statistics on deaths that occurred from people trying to cross over. It then discusses internal and external pressures that led to the Wall's fall in 1989, including Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glasnost that reduced Soviet control over satellite states. The document concludes with Germany being reunified in 1990.
Day 4
Mercantilism was an economic policy where countries sought to maintain a favorable balance of trade by exporting more goods than they imported. The goal was to have a favorable balance of trade for the "mother country" which was the original powerful nation that established colonies. Mother countries aimed to import natural resources from colonies and export finished goods to them.

The document discusses political groups in England during the early 19th century. The Liberal Aristocratic Whigs and Radical Industrialists supported parliamentary reform while the Conservative Tories, led by Robert Peel, opposed reform and championed the monarch's power over Parliament and industrial workers.
Day 1 Power Point To Upload
Thomas Malthus argued in his 1798 work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" that population growth occurs exponentially while food production only increases arithmetically, leading to a food shortage crisis. He predicted population would outgrow the global food supply and force a decrease in available food per person. Malthus believed moral restraints like late marriage and abstinence could help check excessive population growth, especially among the poor and working classes.
Neoclassicism1
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall feelings of well-being over time.
Day 3 Wwii
The Atlantic Wall was an extensive system of coastal fortifications built by Nazi Germany along western Europe's coast from 1942-1944 to defend against an expected Allied invasion from Britain. It consisted of bunkers, artillery batteries, and anti-tank obstacles along beaches and cliffs. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord and invaded Normandy, breaching the Atlantic Wall and beginning the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
Versailles To Upload
The document describes the layout of the Palace of Versailles, mentioning the front door, back door, Hall of Mirrors, bedroom, study, and gardens as some of the key areas within the palace.
Charles I To Upload
Charles I faced growing distrust from Parliament due to religious differences. He needed money from Parliament to fund wars but took unpopular actions like forced loans, imprisonment without cause, and quartering of soldiers. This led to conflicts, including with Scotland over a new Anglican prayer book. It resulted in an English Civil War between Royalists and Parliamentarians led by Oliver Cromwell, who defeated Charles I. The Rump Parliament then condemned Charles to death for treason, declaring England a Commonwealth under Cromwell's rule.
Fallofthe Wall
The Wall fell due to both internal pressures within East Germany and the USSR, as well as external pressures from the West. Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glasnost signaled to West Germany that the Soviet Union would no longer use force to control its satellite states. This abandonment of the Brezhnev Doctrine doomed East Germany. Finally, on July 1, 1990, East and West Germany were reunited under West Germany's existing government structure as the Federal Republic of Germany.
War Of Spanish Succession To Upload
The document discusses the War of Spanish Succession that occurred after the death of Charles II, the last Spanish Habsburg king. Charles II was literally insane for most of his life due to inbreeding in the royal family and suffered from a disfiguring genetic jaw disorder. With no heir, King Louis XIV of France and Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I both positioned themselves to take over Spain by marrying Charles II's sisters. This caused conflict between those who wanted France or Austria to control Spain. Ultimately, the will of Charles II named a grandson of Louis XIV as the new King of Spain, starting the Bourbon line and leading to war between France and an alliance of European powers known as the Grand Alliance.
Post Cold War I
This document provides a timeline of key events from 1990 to 1993 following the end of the Cold War, including the reunification of Germany in 1990 and 1991, and the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1992 known as the "Velvet Divorce", with the Czech Republic joining the European Union in 2004.

This document is a poster from anti-Bolshevik White Guards during the Russian Revolution fall of 1917. It calls to "Defend Petrograd with your life!" against the advancing White Army led by General Nicolai Yudenich. In October 1919, Yudenich launched an offensive from Estonia and came within 30 miles of Petrograd before being repelled by Bolshevik forces. The poster may depict Yudenich as the man with a bayonet.
Freud New
The document discusses some key concepts of psychoanalysis including that emotional disturbances can be traced back to earlier forgotten or repressed experiences. It also suggests that humans are not entirely rational and that we are driven by our subconscious. It describes techniques like free association that aim to bring suppressed experiences into conscious awareness to help symptoms disappear. It outlines Freud's theory of personality as consisting of the id, ego, and superego, and how each part relates to concepts like pleasure, morality, and adapting to reality.
Day 3 Power Point
The document summarizes some of the major political changes that occurred in Europe between 1871 and 1914. It discusses the expansion of universal male suffrage, the development of mass political parties, and governments beginning to take on more responsibility for social and economic problems through early "welfare states." Specific examples are provided about the establishment of republican governments in France after revolutions in the 1870s and reforms in Britain under William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli that expanded education, regulated working conditions, and regulated housing for the poor.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
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.GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

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.
