The document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs. It provides examples and rules for forming regular comparatives and superlatives by adding -er, -est, or changing word endings. It also lists irregular forms that do not follow rules and must be memorized. The summary compares adjectives and adverbs, lists rules for forming comparatives and superlatives, and notes that some forms are irregular.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
And...

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications
Rise in volumes of AI-powered cyberattacks
Major cyber events in 2024
Malware and malicious payload trends
Cyberattack types and targets
Vulnerability exploit attempts on CVEs
Attacks on counties – USA
Expansion of bot farms – how, where, and why
In-depth analysis of the cyber threat landscape across North America, South America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East
Why are attacks on smart factories rising?
Cyber risk predictions
Axis of attacks – Europe
Systemic attacks in the Middle East

2. Adjectives and adverbs are words
the modify other words. The
comparative form of an
adjective or adverb compares
two things. The superlative form
of an adjective or adverb
compares three of more things.
4. The jalopy is a fast car.
The racecar is the faster car.
The dragster is the fastest car.
5. To make comparative and
superlative forms of adjectives
some rules must be followed.
6. Rule 1
tall taller tallest
neat neater neatest
deep deeper deepest
To form the comparative or superlative
of one syllable words with
more than one vowel OR ending
with more than one consonant at the
add -er OR -est.
7. Rule 2
wide wider widest
fine finer finest
cute cuter cutest
To form the comparative or
superlative of a one syllable word ending
in e add -r OR -st.
8. Rule 3
sad sadder saddest
big bigger biggest
fat fatter fattest
To form the comparative or superlative of a one
syllable word with one vowel and one consonant at
the end double the consonant, and add -er OR -est.
9. Rule 4
happy happier happiest
jolly jollier jolliest
lazy lazier laziest
To form the comparative or superlative of a two
syllable word ending in y, change the y to i, then
add -er OR -est.
10. Rule 5
yellow yellower yellowest
gentle gentler gentlest
simple simpler simplest
To form the comparative or superlative of a two
syllable word ending a vowel-sound that is not
stressed then add -er OR -est.
Adjectives ending in –le, -ow, er frequently take –er
and –est.
11. Like adjectives some adverbs can
take comparative and superlative
forms, with -er and -est:
Sally works hard.
Steve works harder than Sally
Kathy and Sue work the hardest
of all.
12. The bird sings loudly.
The moose sang louder than the
bird.
Pete sang the loudest of them all.
13. List of Adverbs in Which
-er and -est May Be Added
Adverb Comparative Superlative
fast faster fastest
slow slower slowest
quick quicker quickest
early earlier earliest
bright brighter brightest
high higher highest
14. However, the majority of adverbs do
not take these endings. Instead, they
form the comparative using more and
the superlative using most:
Adverb Comparative Superlative
recently more recently most recently
effectively more effectively most effectively
frequently more frequently most frequently
17. Irregular Adjectives
Word Comparative Superlative
good better best
bad worse worst
much more most
little less least
far farther farthest
old
older
elder
oldest
eldest
18. Example:
Nathan made good stew.
Molly's stew was better than
Nathan's.
Ezra made the best stew of all.
