Farm Fresh Broadband
This document summarizes the background and key arguments of a book analyzing federal and state policies regarding subsidization, deployment, and regulation of broadband in rural communities. The author is an Associate Professor who researched the topic through a policy analysis of over 10,000 pages of documents, 90 interviews, and site visits. The book argues that rural broadband policy is both incomplete and broken, failing to bring affordable, high-speed broadband to rural areas due to regulatory capture and prioritizing large internet providers. It also highlights some local success stories of communities connecting themselves with the help of cooperatives or local ISPs. The conclusions call for a national rural broadband plan, recognizing the importance of local broadband, and ensuring history does not repeat itself in
Rural Newcomer Telecommuters

Surveys, Data and Stories to Inform Policy and Investment
This document summarizes broadband access surveys from four rural Minnesota communities.

Respondents said they would use better broadband for education, work, communication, and entertainment. Stories from residents provided personal accounts of struggles with slow, unreliable, or expensive existing services like satellite that don't support needs like work-from-home VPN access or uploading school assignments. Community leaders are encouraged to consider these resident experiences and priorities when making broadband policy and investment decisions.
Community approaches to broadband in Minnesota
Community-led broadband solutions can bring competition, lower prices, and faster internet speeds to underserved areas.

It also shares several inspirational stories of how organizations are using broadband to provide education, healthcare, employment resources, and more to their communities.
Broadband in Southeast MN 2021 survey
This document summarizes responses from counties, cities, and townships in southeast Minnesota about broadband access and issues in their areas. Availability of service is lacking in many rural areas. Even where service exists, functionality is often insufficient for tasks like remote work and schooling due to slow speeds and unreliable connections. Respondents cited high costs, challenging terrain, and low population density as barriers to improving or expanding service. Most rely on internet providers to make upgrades but have limited ability to influence them. Funding sources for improvements include grants, ARPA funds, and partnerships between jurisdictions and providers. Addressing equity of access and affordability were also raised as ongoing issues.
Regional Broadband MN - presentation from Office of Broadband Development
The document summarizes Minnesota's broadband development timeline and policies from 2008 to the present. It outlines the state's statutory broadband goals, the role of the Office of Broadband Development and task forces, broadband mapping efforts, and the Border to Border broadband grant program. The grant program has provided broadband access to over 56,800 homes and businesses since 2014. Current federal funding opportunities through programs like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act could provide additional funding to support Minnesota's broadband expansion efforts.
Chisago Lakes Community Broadband Survey
A survey of 762 respondents in the Chisago Lakes community found that 30% said the internet met their online school requirements most of the time while 16% said no. For working from home, 37% said the internet met their needs most of the time and 28% said no. Regarding running a business, 56% said it did not apply while 21% said no and 18% said most of the time. Respondents rated internet reliability as 33% poor and 31% fair, and rated speed as 34% fair and 29% poor.

Building Production Ready Search Pipelines with Spark and Milvus
Spark is the widely used ETL tool for processing, indexing and ingesting data to serving stack for search. Milvus is the production-ready open-source vector database. In this talk we will show how to use Spark to process unstructured data to extract vector representations, and push the vectors to Milvus vector database for search serving.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

“Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transfor...Edge AI and Vision Alliance
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.FREE A4 Cyber Security Awareness Posters-Social Engineering part 3
