The document compares the relative sizes of planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters in the observable universe. It notes that the Earth is tiny compared to the Sun, and the Sun is tiny compared to the Milky Way galaxy, which itself is small relative to the visible universe that is over 14 billion light years in diameter. It aims to impress upon the reader just how vast the universe is, and how powerful its Creator must be to have made such an immense creation.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
3. Now Earth against Sun Against Sun, Earth is like a dot Think !! Where do you find yourself now?? This is the Earth
4. Suppose if we assume Sun as a 100 inch - for Demo The Earth would be 23.253 mm 6.204 3400 Pluto 82.906 45432 Neptune 85.658 46940 Uranus 212.481 116438 Saturn 254.595 139516 Jupiter 12.336 6760 Mars 23.252 12742 Earth 22.092 12106 Venus 8.88 4866 Mercury 100 1391900 Sun mm inches kilometers Body Diameter Diameter Diameter Scale Scale Actual
5. As we have compared the Earth with Sun Now !! Start comparing the Sun with the Universe
6. The Nearest Stars from Sun The closest star to the Sun is only 7000 times further than the edge of our solar system. This map shows all of the stellar systems that lie within 12.5 light years from us.
7. This map is a plot of the 1500 most luminous stars within 250 light years. All of these stars are much more luminous than the Sun and most of them can be seen with the naked eye. About one third of the stars visible with the naked eye lie within 250 light years, even though this is only a tiny part of our galaxy. The Solar Neighbourhood Universe within 250 light years
8.
9. The Universe within 50,000 Light Years The Milky Way Galaxy A spiral galaxy of at least two hundred billion stars. Our Sun is buried deep within the Orion Arm about 26 000 light years from the centre. Towards the centre of the Galaxy the stars are packed together much closer than they are where we live. Notice also the presence of small globular clusters of stars which lie well outside the plane of the Galaxy, and notice too the presence of a nearby dwarf galaxy - the Sagittarius dwarf – which is slowly being swallowed up by our own galaxy.
10. Although the Milky Way is but one of billions of galaxies in the universe, the Galaxy has special significance to humanity as it is the home of the solar system. As a guide to the relative physical scale of the Milky Way, if the galaxy were reduced to 130 km (80 mi) in diameter, the solar system would be a mere 2 mm (0.08 in) in width. Now!! Canyou find the Solar system agaisnt the Milkay way.
11. Number of large galaxies within 500 000 light years = 1 Number of dwarf galaxies within 500 000 light years = 9 Number of stars within 500 000 light years = 225 billion . The Milky Way is surrounded by several dwarf galaxies, ypically containing a few tens of millions of stars, which is insignificant compared with the number of stars in the Milky Way itself. This map shows the closest dwarf galaxies, they are all gravitationally bound to the Milky Way requiring billions of years to orbit it. The Universe within 5,00,000 Light Years The Satellite Galaxies
12. Our galaxy is just one of thousands that lie within 100 million light years. The above map shows how galaxies tend to cluster into groups, the largest nearby cluster is the Virgo cluster a concentration of several hundred galaxies which dominates the galaxy groups around it. Collectively, all of these groups of galaxies are known as the Virgo Supercluster The second richest cluster in this volume of space is the Fornax Cluster, but it is not nearly as rich as the Virgo cluster. Only bright galaxies are depicted on the map, our galaxy is the dot in the very centre. Can you find the Milky Way in this?? Our Milky Way galaxy is part of Local Group & it is in centre Number of galaxy groups within 100 million light years = 200 Number of large galaxies within 100 million light years = 2500 Number of dwarf galaxies within 100 million light years = 25 000 The Universe within 100 million Light Years The Virgo Supercluster
13. The Universe within 1 billion Light Years The Neighbouring Superclusters Galaxies and clusters of galaxies are not uniformly distributed in the Universe, instead they collect into vast clusters and sheets and walls of galaxies interspersed with large voids in which very few galaxies seem to exist. The map above shows many of these superclusters including the Virgo supercluster - the minor supercluster of which our galaxy is just a minor member. The entire map is approximately 7 percent of the diameter of the entire visible Universe.
15. This map attempts to show the entire visible Universe. The galaxies in the universe tend to collect into vast sheets and superclusters of galaxies surrounding large voids giving the universe a cellular appearance. Because light in the universe only travels at a fixed speed, we see objects at the edge of the universe when it was very young up to 14 billion years ago. The Universe within 14 billion Light Years The Visible Universe
16. Now Stop Comparing & start thinking about the Knowledge & Power of the Creator by seeing this Creation Don’t you ever ponder over the signs of the Creator ??? All Praise is to the Lord of the Universe The Almighty, The all-Knowing, The Omnipotent Can you imagine the Knowledge & Power Of the creator of this universe???
