3 Early Pitfalls New PMs Can Encounter by Dropbox Group PMProduct School
Main Takeaways:
- Pitfall 1: Not getting a proper lay of the land. Gather raw data from everyone to form a picture of how things work, but don't assume everything is optimal. There is probably more dysfunction than you think.
- Pitfall 2: Focusing on action too early instead of connecting the dots to company strategy. Its easy to get distracted by incoming requests or pass-downs from your boss. It's critical to first align your mandate to the company's strategy. If that is solid, everything else is a prioritization exercise or investment case.
- Pitfall 3: Blindly following others in your first project. Rely on your instincts and think for yourself with your first project. Don't paint by numbers if the details don't make sense to you. In the end, you'll be the owner of the outcomes.

How to Navigate and Become a Growth Leader by Microsoft PMProduct School
This document outlines how to become a growth leader as a product manager. It discusses that growth product managers focus on increasing product usage. It recommends consciously choosing to transition to this type of role and aggressively building experience in essential growth PM skills like identifying opportunities, using data to make decisions, running experiments, and clear communication. Finally, it advises growth leaders to drive visionary ideas, nurture culture change, and continually learn and teach others to help products achieve maximum growth.
The document discusses how to design tests for validating business ideas and assumptions using the minimum viable product approach. It recommends setting a clear learning goal, forming a falsifiable hypothesis, making the test measurable, setting a fail condition, and time-boxing the test. Several examples of successful validation tests are provided, like using a video and landing page to generate 75,000 signups or a "wizard of oz" test proving people would buy shoes online. It emphasizes that the riskiest assumption to test is one that could kill the business if proven false, and that about half of validation tests should fail in order to provide meaningful learning.

Psychologists study fear in children to understand its causes and effects. Common fears in children include crime, bullying, and natural disasters. Fear can motivate protective behaviors but also have negative effects like nightmares, anxiety, and aggression if prolonged. One famous study on fear in children is Albert Bandura's 1961 Bobo Doll experiment, which found that children exposed to aggressive behaviors were more likely to imitate aggression, while those exposed to non-aggressive behaviors imitated non-aggression.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

Usability testing involves having people complete tasks while thinking aloud to provide insight into their thought processes. It can be done using paper prototypes, websites, or existing sites. Benefits for designers include uncovering unexpected issues, testing assumptions, and getting stakeholder buy-in. Benefits for site owners are fixing problems early when cheaper, improving customer satisfaction, and increasing conversion rates. Guerilla or informal testing is quick, inexpensive, and provides qualitative insights that can immediately feed back into the design process. It involves recruiting your own test subjects and moderating the sessions yourself.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

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.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. 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
