Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things and can be either superior or inferior. The superior comparative indicates one thing surpasses another and is formed by adding "-er" to short adjectives or using "more" with long adjectives followed by "than". The inferior comparative, used to indicate one thing is less than another, is formed by adding "less" before the adjective followed by "than".

The document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives in English. It explains that comparative adjectives are used to compare two people or things and often end in "-er", while superlatives compare more than two things and often end in "-est". Some one-syllable adjectives only add "-r" or "-st". Irregular adjectives like "good", "bad", and "far" have unique forms. Examples are provided to illustrate forming comparatives and superlatives from adjectives like "short", "nice", and "friendly". The document also includes an exercise asking the reader to complete a chart with comparative and superlative forms and fill in blanks with the correct form in sentences
Comparing things
To compare two objects, add "er" to the end of the adjective, and to compare more than two objects, add "est". For example, to say one snake is longer than another, use "longer", and to say which snake is the longest of all, use "longest". Adding "er" or "est" changes the adjective to show comparisons of more or most.

The canterville ghost
Oscar Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. He studied at Trinity College in Dublin and Oxford University in England. He became famous in London as a writer, poet, and playwright in the late 1800s. His most famous work was the play The Importance of Being Earnest. However, he was imprisoned from 1895 to 1897 for homosexual acts, which were illegal at the time. After his release, he lived in France due to the social stigma. He died in 1900 at the young age of 46.

Playing around with rural futures in Birmingham and Nebraska
Researchers from the University of Birmingham and the University of Nebraska collaborated on adapting an existing board game called Rufopoly to engage stakeholders in rural land use issues in the Great Plains region. Called Plainsopoly, the game was played by over 60 participants at a rural futures conference, who discussed land use scenarios and policy tools while moving around the board. The game facilitated productive dialogue on challenging issues and helped stakeholders gain new perspectives outside their usual viewpoints. Feedback from one game issue was also able to directly inform the US Secretary of Agriculture. Games are becoming an important public engagement tool for addressing complex planning and policy issues through facilitated learning in a fun, lower-stakes environment.

This document discusses the compatibility between spatial planning and the ecosystem approach. It argues that both frameworks could benefit from being more interdisciplinary and addressing the divide between theory and practice. The paper also proposes reconceptualizing the green belt to take a more holistic, place-based approach that considers the connections and dependencies within a given area. Finally, it reflects on the challenges of fully integrating these approaches and suggests more experimentation is still needed to develop their relationship further.

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.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

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.AppSec PNW: Android and iOS Application Security with MobSF
