Crying stone (Narrative text)
The young girl was beautiful but lazy and treated her mother poorly, making her mother sad. When they went to the market, the girl demanded her mother walk behind her and told people her mother was her servant. In response to her mother's prayers, the girl's body slowly turned to stone, and she cried for forgiveness but it was too late. Her crying form remains as a stone that still sheds tears, called the "Crying Stone".

Crying stone
The girl was beautiful but also very lazy and spoiled. She did not help her mother and always demanded her way. One day when accompanying her mother to the market, the girl insisted her mother walk behind her and told others her mother was a servant, not her mother. As punishment for not respecting her mother, the mother's prayers were answered - her legs slowly turned to stone until she was completely changed. The daughter begged for forgiveness.

1) Water makes up 70-75% of the human body and is essential for bodily functions like temperature regulation and waste removal. Dehydration can have serious health effects.
2) Being dehydrated promotes fat storage as the body pulls water from cells, including fat cells, to compensate for lack of water intake.
3) Drinking water is important for appetite suppression and overall health, while sugary and caffeinated drinks increase the need for fluids and can remove essential nutrients from the body. Proper hydration is important for overall wellness.

Save Water
The document is a letter written in the year 2070 describing how a severe global water shortage has radically changed society. Key points:
- Water is now a extremely scarce resource due to environmental destruction in the past. Rivers and lakes are dry.
- Strict water rationing is in place. People are only allowed half a glass of water per day.
- The population is in poor health due to dehydration. Skin, urinary, and gastrointestinal problems are common. Life expectancy is only 35 years.
- The environment is severely degraded. Trees are gone, the air is polluted, and the climate has changed. Oxygen levels have declined without vegetation.
- Water has become more valuable than gold
Tanzania water access
Lack of access to safe water is the world's largest cause of illness. In Tanzania, only 4% of the population has water piped to their homes, so most must collect water from unsafe, open sources like rivers and lakes. This task usually falls to women and children, which can prevent school or work. Open water sources are contaminated by animal and human waste, putting people at risk of waterborne diseases like malaria. Protected sources like boreholes and rainwater tanks are safer alternatives. A UNICEF project improved access for 65,000 Tanzanians by installing safe water sources and hygiene facilities in schools and health centers.
Save Earth
The writer is a 50-year-old man living in 2070 who is one of the oldest people remaining due to severe water shortages and pollution. He recalls the beauty and abundance of nature from his childhood in contrast to the current barren landscape. Water has become extremely scarce and valuable due to environmental destruction over the past decades despite warnings. The writer feels guilty for belonging to the generation responsible for the damage, and believes life on Earth may soon be impossible due to passing the point of no return on environmental issues.
FUTURE SCARY....English project by RAJINI

Letter Written In 2070
The document is a letter written in 2070 describing a dystopian future where water has become extremely scarce. The author, who is 50 but looks 85 due to health problems from dehydration, recalls how plentiful water used to be. Now, people are only allowed half a glass of water per day and the landscape has turned to desert. Life is difficult and unhealthy without sufficient access to water.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
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).

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.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
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.
Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
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.

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.
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.

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?

Flooding ppt
- 1. Surviving and Thriving Meeting the Challenge Flood in Bangkok 2011
- 2. While RIS was not physically open I studied everyday. Part of the time we were in Bangkok but when the water began to rise we went else where. I continued to do my online studies.
- 3. I worked on my art portfolio.
- 4. Where did you go? As the water rose in Bangkok my family travel to several different locations to stay dry. Vietnam Cambodia Kanchanaburi
- 5. What did you do? In addition to keeping up with my online studying my classroom moved with me. I was able to learn history and culture from the areas I was staying in. While in Cambodia, I learned first hand that Thailand was not the only country that has been affected by flooding. I traveled miles in boats through floated rice patties and even a flooded forest. I also visited Angkor Wat, where I was absorbed in Angkor history as well as the ancient architecture and sculptures.
- 6. Why did you go? We had the resources to leave and felt we should go while we still could.
- 7. How have you been impacted by the flooding in Thailand? It was hard to find water and food. It hard to get around because the water was up to our knees. It was hard to get around because the roads were flooded. Some people took advantage of the situation by selling boats, boots and water proof backpacks.
- 8. People continued selling fruits in the flooded streets. Water has been added to this fruit stand...Drinking water is hard to come by.
- 9. How has the flooding affected your daily life? I had to evacuate from home. Before I drank water I had to make sure it was boiled so I wouldn't be drinking bacteria and other stuff in the water. We had to buy water and can food to prepare in case the electricty would be cut off.
- 10. We are in the hotel in one room instead of a house. This one room is where I eat, sleep, study and watch movies.
- 11. What have you learned about how the flooding has impacted Thailand and Thai people? I learned that people had to move and evaculated from their homes, park their cars on the bridges, or any high spot they could find, and that some people don't have clean water to drink, food to eat, or dry places to sleep. My family is lucky compared to some.
- 12. Where have you gotten your information from? I read info online, in the newpaper, and heard news on the radio and TV. I also read magazines and got information from friends and family.
- 13. Flood hits Bangkok Newspaper!
- 14. What are the casualties and impacts of the flooding for the country of Thailand? The monsoon rains that saturated rivers caused floods. The floods had killed 373 people and had a huge affect to more than 9.5 million people. The government calls this flooding the worse to afflict the nation in halfa centuryand meet take moore than a month to get water out of certain areas. The government set up 1,700 shelters all around the country and more 113,000 people have evaculated and stayed in those shelters. The toal cost of damage of this flood is 6 billion dollars.
- 16. After the flooding stops, what will need to happen in Thailand to help those who have been impacted by the floods? Displaced persons will need temporary shelter, food, water, clothes and shoes. Homes will need to be cleaned up and rebuilt. Roads will need to be repaired. Electricity and water lines will need to be rebuilt.
- 17. I can donate more clothes and volunteer to assist in Red Cross missions. I can help clean up my own neighborhood.
- 18. What can you do personally to help? I can join the red cross relief teams and help my family and my neighbors.
