Musíme zmeniť benefity - a spraviť ich cielene rozvojovými
Ponúkané benefity sa v súčasnosti pohybujú od ovocia zadarmo cez kalčeto a flexibilný pracovný čas, či miesto práce až po (v pár ojedinelých prípadoch) neobmedzené dovolenky. Je to milé, no v stále urputnejšom boji o prilákanie a udržanie najlepších talentov v organizáciách, musíme začať myslieť komplexnejšie.
Iba spoločnosť, ktorá dokáže vytvoriť podmienky, v ktorých môžu ľudia tak skutočne ľudsky rásť a napredovať (a nemyslíme tým rozvoj mäkkých zručností), priláka a udrží tých najlepších (bez ohľadu na kalčeto v herni).
Susan nám na stretnutí pomôže získať nadhľad nad záplavou atraktívnych benefitov a umožní nám pochopiť podstatu toho, čo je pre talentov skutočne obohacujúce.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.

The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

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.

6. Outline
• The First few weeks
• The goal is self reliance
• Stay invested in people
• Sharing feedback
• How to know you're doing well?
• The Myth vs Reality
7. The First few weeks
• What to expect?
• You are here to help your team achieve success
• Your role is to improve the purpose, people and
process
• Purpose = outcome the team wants to accomplish
• People = right people and environment to
accomplish the purpose
• Process = how your teams work together
• Your fears and doubts are normal
I have two things I want
to discuss. But first lets
go through your list of
topics for our 1:1
I'm ready!
I guess it's time
for our weekly 1:1.
How's it going?
I had a sandwich for
lunch...the weather's
nice, right?
AVOID
ASPIRE
8. The goal is Self reliance
• Your role as a manager is not to do the work
yourself , even if you're best at it, because that
will only take you so far
• Set clear expectations with yourself
• Example – You are the owner of lemonade stand
• Your success = success of your directs
You are the owner of a Lemonade stand that
operates one hour per day
Owner = 20 cups/hour
Henry and Adam = 10 cups/hour
15 hours of training
….= loss of 20*15 = 300 cups
Post training..
Henry and Adam = 12 cups/hour(2 extra)
To make up for lost 300 cups
300/4 = 75 days < 3 months
And then additional sales of 4 extra cups per hour
9. Stay invested in people
• Hire the right people
• the concept of "weak hire" by Julie Zhuo
• Always give benefit of doubt
• Start with a Blank Slate
• Build trust
• "Since I am new, you might not feel comfortable
sharing everything with me right away. I hope to
earn your trust over time. I'll start by sharing
more about myself, including my biggest failure"
Got it. My Team and I
are going to do X,Y and Z
AVOID
ASPIRE
Here's the situation: A, B and
C are the problems right now
I need you and your
team to do X,Y and Z
10. Sharing Feedback
• Periodic feedback - don’t wait for end of the year
• Give task specific feedback
• Feedback isn't personal
• Little encouragement goes a long way
• Make them feel valuable
It's time for our
Annual Performance
Review. Here's how
you've been doing for
the Past Year
AVOID
ASPIRE
Can I share some feedback
for you from that meeting
this morning?
11. How to know you're doing well?
• Your reports regularly bring their biggest challenges
to your attention
• Litmus test to assess health of employee-manager
relationship
• Your reports would gladly work for you again
• You and your reports regularly give each other
feedback and it isn't taken personally
Note - Mistakes are inevitable but you'll learn
something every step of the way
How are
you doing?
Never been
better
How are
you doing?
I'm stuck
and I need
your
advice
AVOID
ASPIRE
12. The Myth vs Reality
If you are wondering whether you can be a
great manager, ask yourself,
what do you find more motivating, an outcome or
a specific role?
• Outcome = team's success
• Example of specific role – UX designer, engineer
THE MYTH
THE REALITY
I did it! I'm a
great manager
now! GO ME!
