Through this process, I learned about different filming techniques and gained skills in advanced editing.
A lot of companies have training and support materials in movie format. And the number of the movies keeps growing. Making movies is easy. Even a smartphone can record and edit a FullHD video. But how about translating movies? Although YouTube has all the functions we need to auto-transcribe and machine-translate movies, we often need to complete the task internally in the organization due to security and batch-process requirements. Find out how we built our own automatic movie transcription/machine translation system and what challenges we faced.

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?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
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.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

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.

2. Step one - equipment
One of the most important things about filmmaking is making sure you have
the right equipment for you film. The most important equipment are:
● Camera/Camcorder
● Spare batteries
● Tripod
● Decent editing software
3. Camera/Camcorder
The cheapest cameras (ideally if you are just starting), are camcorders these
can start from £29.99, or cheaper.. Camcorders look like this:
If you are looking for a higher range camera, you may need a ‘Bridge Camera’.
You can get them for about £100 or a bit less. Bridge cameras look like this:
4. Not good enough?
If you are looking for the ‘bad boy’ cameras (the ones that are about
£500.00 for a make like Canon, pentax, fujifilm etc...), with detachable
lenses, you should go for a DSLR. DSLR’s look like this:
5. Still not good enough?
If you are still thinking that you still want something that is much more
professional will be much better quality, then I suggest that you go for a
‘Professional Camcorder’ A ‘professional camcorder’ looks like this:
The one shown here, is £1,198.00 from Amazon.co.uk
6. Spare batteries
One really important thing is having a spare battery(s) on you. These will come
in handy if your current battery has run out and you need another one. I tend
to buy rechargeable ones as they are much cheaper. If you are using a
camcorder, just search the model of your camera and add ‘battery’ on the end
of the search. For example, ‘Canon legria FS200 battery’ and you should get
something that looks a bit like this:
7. Tripod
So you’ve bought your camera. What's next?
The next most important thing is image/video stabilization equipment. You can
fix this by buying a cheap and easy to use ‘tripod’
The one I use for YouTube and short films is the ‘Albott 70” (inch) camera
tripod. That one costs £32.99 from Amazon.co.uk.
8. ‘Wondershare Filmora’ - Editing Sofware
Most of the time, when you research good editing softwares, they always
show ‘Filmora’ Filmora costs roughly £60. When i had it, within 3 weeks, i was
emailing them for a refund because the preview box (top right) is not good.
The video lags which is very distracting when you are trying to edit.
9. A good editing software - ShotCut
Surprisingly, my favourite editing software is 100% free for all Windows/mac
users.
Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor for Windows, Mac
and Linux. Major features include support for a wide range of formats; no
import required meaning native timeline editing; Blackmagic Design support
for input and preview monitoring; and resolution support to 4k.
