The water cycle describes how water is circulated and recycled around the Earth. It involves evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and rivers into vapor which rises into the atmosphere. The water vapor then condenses to form clouds through condensation. Precipitation occurs when the clouds become too full and water falls back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail. The water is then collected in oceans, lakes, rivers, and soil to be evaporated again, restarting the cycle.

This document discusses declining privacy norms and the challenges posed by new technologies. It summarizes:
1) Consent for data collection and use has become less meaningful online as privacy policies are complex and users prioritize immediate benefits over long-term privacy risks.
2) Ubiquitous computing through technologies like RFID, smart meters, and sensors threaten to collect personal data without notice or choice as collection becomes invisible and ambient.
3) Reform efforts have failed to adequately address these issues, and notice and consent may no longer be viable frameworks as technologies learn from total and constant data collection in ways that are adaptive and useful but threaten privacy.
The document discusses challenges to privacy protections posed by emerging technologies and uses of data. It summarizes that consent is becoming less meaningful online as privacy policies are complex and terms frequently change. Ubiquitous computing through devices and sensors raises issues as data is collected by default without notice or choice. Big data analysis makes it difficult to provide notice of future uses of data or obtain meaningful consent, while re-identification risks undermine anonymization as a solution. Overall, existing legal frameworks centered around notice and consent are struggling to address these new privacy realities.

GI2016 ppt shi (big data analytics on the internet)IGN Vorstand
This PowerPoint presentation summarizes a new algorithm for spatial statistical aggregation and disaggregation of geospatial and agricultural data. The algorithm uses Python and Pandas/Numpy libraries to automatically source data from the USGS website, aggregate county-level statistics into state-level statistics, and disaggregate state-level statistics back into estimated county-level values. It illustrates the process with examples of nitrogen input and wheat production statistics. The use of FIPS codes to geocode data allows for automated processing and integration of tabular data with geographical boundaries.
GI2016 ppt shi (cartography and communication)IGN Vorstand
Cartography is an important method for communicating geoscience findings through visual depictions. Well-designed maps and illustrations can effectively communicate research to both experts and the general public. Computerized cartography allows generation and management of visual products efficiently. Maps are also indispensable because images from remote sensing data can be inaccessible without annotations and legends to explain meanings. Symbolic representations can clearly transmit patterns of spatial phenomena and correlations.

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.

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 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?

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.
