Livestock animal production involves breeding animals in captivity to meet basic human needs like food, clothing, and labor. It provides meat, milk, eggs, wool, and work animals. Livestock production requires managing animal inputs like feed, nutrition, reproduction, health, behavior, and waste. It can be done through factory farming, where large numbers are confined indoors, or free range farming, where animals roam outdoors but require more space.
Precoursors of Civilization: Mesolithic and Neolithic
Describes the rise of settled communities and the domestication of plants and animals that accompanied or preceded them. Includes the role these innovations played in esbablishing civilization.
2012: Birth of Agriculture
The document summarizes the history of agriculture in three revolutions. The first agricultural revolution began around 10,000 BCE as some hunter-gatherer societies in various parts of the world transitioned to domesticating plants and animals, settling permanently in one area. This led to the establishment of early civilizations. The second agricultural revolution in the late Middle Ages involved innovations like crop rotation and selective breeding that increased food production and allowed commercial farming. The third revolution from the 1940s onward saw the introduction of modern technology including biotechnology, irrigation systems, fertilizers and pesticides, along with large-scale commercial farming and global population growth.

This document provides an overview of early human cultures and civilizations. It begins with definitions of culture and discusses the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. The Neolithic Revolution marked the beginning of settled societies based around agriculture and domestication of animals. This led to the emergence of early civilizations in places like Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Key features of early civilizations included organized government, religion, job specialization, social classes, art, architecture, writing, and trade. The Sumerians created the first Mesopotamian civilization based around city-states with temples, defenses, and the earliest writing system of cuneiform. Later, the Akkadians and

1) Several common misconceptions existed about the origins of food production, including that it was an invention rather than evolution and that hunters-gatherers were entirely distinct from food producers.
2) Factors that led to the shift from hunting and gathering to food production included declining availability of wild foods, less rewarding hunting as game decreased, and technologies to store and process more food as populations grew.
3) Plant domestication involved early farmers selectively growing plants and causing changes from wild ancestors, choosing for traits like larger size, less bitterness, and seedless varieties.

Neolithic Revolution
This document discusses the origins and development of early human societies. It describes how early humans lived in nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes and followed food sources. Over time, humans developed new skills like controlling fire, tool-making, domesticating animals and plants, and developing agriculture. This Neolithic Revolution led to permanent settlements and the rise of urban civilizations as humans no longer had to follow food sources. The document provides examples of early weapons, tools, and settlements as humans transitioned to agricultural societies. It directs students to draw and paint a scene of daily life from their tribe as a classwork assignment.
Social Studies Review, Unit 1
The document is a Jeopardy! game about ancient history and archaeology hosted by a 6th grade social studies teacher. It contains clues and questions about topics like the Clovis people, the first civilization in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Phoenician writing, Solomon's Temple, and how different cultures developed in the Americas.
Mesolithic and Neolithic
The document summarizes key developments in the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, including the transition to settled agricultural communities. It provides examples of Mesolithic communities like Mount Sandel in Ireland and Vedbaek in Denmark that depended on coastal resources without agriculture. The Neolithic introduced domestication of plants and animals, as seen initially in the Fertile Crescent and later spreading to other regions. Settlements grew larger and more complex, accompanied by developments in technology, social organization, and humanities like art and music. Iconic sites like Stonehenge illustrate the megalithic architecture of Neolithic Northern Europe.
Human biological and cultural evolution 2
To understand human culture, we must examine our biological evolution and capacity for culture. Our large brains enabled complex thinking, language, and tool use. Our dexterous hands and opposable thumbs allowed for precision grips needed for toolmaking. Our ability to walk upright on two legs freed our hands for tasks while traveling. These biological adaptations formed the basis for advanced cognition and culture that distinguishes humans from other primates.
Neolithic revolution
The Neolithic Revolution refers to the transition of human societies from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement between 8000-3500 BCE. The development of agriculture began in Southwest Asia and allowed populations to grow as food supplies became more reliable and abundant. Sedentary living led to the establishment of permanent villages and towns, which saw further technological advances in tools, pottery, weaving and metallurgy. The first large settlements, such as Catalhoyuk and Jericho, displayed evidence of social stratification and specialized labor. By 3500 BCE, advanced river valley civilizations had formed along major river systems.

Article by bro. ostis
This document discusses the importance of maintaining spiritual standards and not removing or modifying established "landmarks" or principles. It uses the biblical examples of maintaining physical land boundaries as an analogy for upholding doctrinal and behavioral standards. The key points are:
1) The Bible warns against removing landmarks or boundaries that were previously established. This applies to maintaining spiritual standards set forth in scripture.
2) Standards must be consistent and tie into the overall message, just as land surveys must connect to existing boundaries. Modifying standards risks deviating from the truth.
3) Believers should uphold high spiritual standards rather than lowering them to suit modern times. Individuals must conform to truth, not adjust truth to fit

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
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?

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.How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdf

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
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.

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
AppSec PNW: Android and iOS Application Security with MobSF
Mobile Security Framework - MobSF is a free and open source automated mobile application security testing environment designed to help security engineers, researchers, developers, and penetration testers to identify security vulnerabilities, malicious behaviours and privacy concerns in mobile applications using static and dynamic analysis. It supports all the popular mobile application binaries and source code formats built for Android and iOS devices. In addition to automated security assessment, it also offers an interactive testing environment to build and execute scenario based test/fuzz cases against the application.
This talk covers:
Using MobSF for static analysis of mobile applications.
Interactive dynamic security assessment of Android and iOS applications.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
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.

Main news related to the CCS TSI 2023 (2023/1695)
An English 🇬🇧 translation of a presentation to the speech I gave about the main changes brought by CCS TSI 2023 at the biggest Czech conference on Communications and signalling systems on Railways, which was held in Clarion Hotel Olomouc from 7th to 9th November 2023 (konferenceszt.cz). Attended by around 500 participants and 200 on-line followers.
The original Czech 🇨🇿 version of the presentation can be found here: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/hlavni-novinky-souvisejici-s-ccs-tsi-2023-2023-1695/269688092 .

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

We will talk about system monitoring from a few different angles. We will start by covering the basics, then discuss SLOs, how to define them, and why understanding the business well is crucial for success in this exercise.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
