The latest iteration of the introduction to social media that I do before jumping into skills training on specific platforms. I've tried a lot of different variations, but I've found that emphasizing social media's use for sourcing information is not only a revelation for most people (who tend to think of what they should put out on social media rather than what they can take it), but also gets at the heart of how it can enhance their work.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.

Introduction to social media for journalists
1. Social media is your new bicycle An introduction to what social media is for, and how it fits into your workflow
2. “ A rolodex that expands itself” “ Word of mouth on crack” “ A replacement for a clipping service” “ A layer that sits over the rest of the internet, surfacing the best stuff” “ An ecosystem built on information-sharing networks” Social media is … (to paraphrase your colleagues)
3. A tool for creating great content, loyal audience, and a solid reputation

13. 1. Research/Reporting 2. Engagement 3. Publishing Each activity supports and reinforces the others. They work better together than in isolation.
14. Why is promotion not included? Yes, we want to drive traffic to our content, but promotion without the other elements doesn ’t work. People don’t respond when they don’t feel a genuine connection. If the other two elements are done right, promotion will often take care of itself. Your network will start promoting your work for you. 4. Promotion
18. Social media is a HUGE ecosystem Twitter YouTube Facebook Flickr Google + Tumblr Blogger Wordpress Reddit Wikia Quora Forums
19. We train on Twitter because, RIGHT NOW, it is the great aggregator. It’s where news happens, and it will lead you to the other places where things are happening. “ It’s like a gateway.” But here are some examples of why you might turn to another site: Facebook Poll VOA’s audience for feedback, answer audience comments, do a live Q&A Google + Try out social ideas with an engaged audience of early adopters Pinterest Save clippings online so you can access them and share with others Blogger, Wordpress Search 1,000s of personal blogs all at once Instagram Share pictures in an interesting way Reddit Check out memes and see what’s going viral Meetup Find real-life communities around skills you need or things you like Quora Ask and answer questions about topics you’re knowledgeable on Forums Find conversations on specialist topics, find sources Flickr Find Creative Commons photos to illustrate an article or make a photo essay
20. So how could you fit social media into your workflow right now?
21. Morning Media Diet Add niche blogs, Twitter to your current morning routine. You might even find you can drop some newspapers or websites as a result. Story Planning Think about the online conversation happening around a topic. What do people want to know? What are they talking about? What could you add that’s unique or innovative. What will people respond to? Example: http://174.37.47.227/~converge/wordpress/?p=813 Following Breaking News Follow a few breaking news Twitter accounts, and the next time news is breaking, keep tabs on it from there. See if you can find information, resources and angles you wouldn’t get from the wires.
