Graphic design is a field that is quickly changing, both creatively and technically, and while it is easy to get caught up in learning new technical skills, it is just as important to focus improving and pushing the limits of our creativity.
The document discusses the Marshmallow Challenge experiment which tests groups' ability to build the tallest free-standing structure out of spaghetti, string, and tape in 18 minutes. Business students tended to perform the worst by sticking rigidly to a single plan, while kindergarteners who iteratively prototyped and tested designs performed best. The document advocates easing cognitive load through simplification, prototyping ideas rather than sticking to a single plan, and creating a fun environment to generate better thinking.

The 29th Annual Children’s Network Conference takes place on Wednesday, September 23rd and Thursday, September 24th, 2015 at the Ontario Convention Center. The conference has dynamic keynote speakers, a wide array of workshops to choose from, and an exhibit hall filled with a variety of resources and products.
This book review summarizes key points from the book "Rework" by Jason Fried. It recommends learning from success rather than mistakes, and questions the sustainability of a workaholic culture. It also advises keeping meetings productive, staying small and focused, launching products early to fix issues later, ignoring competition and building an audience through teaching rather than ads. The review stresses that marketing is more than just advertising and involves everything a company does. It also suggests doing work yourself before hiring others.

Social Media Silver Bullet - ROI and Social MediaScott Scanlon
The document discusses the differences between traditional media marketing and social media marketing. Traditional media uses interruption-based advertising, where consumers are engaged in an activity and interrupted by an ad. In contrast, social media allows advertising messages to be consumed within the activity itself without interrupting the consumer. The key is positioning messages in social media as valuable information, not interruptions, so consumers continue their activity after viewing. The document argues this engagement without interruption model allows social media to have a larger "opportunity curve" for creating awareness than traditional media.

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?
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).

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.
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.

How to build a great Web Application - Lessons from Getting Real by 37 Signals
1. How to build a great Web Product
Lessons from Getting Real, a book by 37 signals
@robindhanwani
2. Its about Skipping Charts, Graphs, boxes,
arrows, schematics and wireframes.
and actually building the real thing.
3. Have less of everything that is essential, less
features, less paperwork, less of everything
that’s not essential
Many times we try to add every new feature, add processes,
systems and everything we can think of and most of the times times
it complicates things and is not needed.
4. Just give what customers need and
remove everything else.
We build on assumptions what customers need and most of the
times its not the case, so build only what they need. If they need
something more, they will let you know.
5. Launch early, tweak and constantly
improve.
Follow Agile Development Methodology with incremental and
iterative development. Take feedback, collaborate and keep
improvising the product.
6. Get Rid Of ...
Scalability Debates
Useless Meetings
Endless Preference Options
Lengthy Functional Specs
Timelines that take Months or Years Top Down Hierarchy
Useless Paperwork
7. Do Less…
We believe software is too complex. Too many features, too many buttons, too
much to learn. Our products do less than the competition — intentionally. We
build products that work smarter, feel better, allow you to do things your way,
and are easier to use.
What can you do with
- 3 people instead of ten
- in 3 months instead of six
- in 20k instead of 100k
8. Don’t compete with competitors on:
- Money Spent
- Features
- Time Size
Instead of one upping, try one-downing. Instead of outdoing, try underdoing.
- Less features
- Less options/preferences
- Less people and corporate structure
- Less meetings and abstractions
- Less promises
9. Find out why do you want to do it ? Is it a problem you are facing,
something you are really passionate about or something else. Its
better to find out coz this is what will help you keep going!!
10. Outside Money is Plan B
- If you turn to outsiders, you will have to answer them too.
- These days hardware isn’t expensive and plenty of great s/w is open source.
- Constraints force creativity
11. Fix Time and Budget, Flex Scope
There's a myth that goes like this: we can launch on time, on budget, and on
scope. It almost never happens and when it does quality often suffers.
Benefits of doing this:
- Prioritization
- Flexibility
- Reality
12. Have an Enemy
- Find your app’s enemy and what u don’t wanna build
- At same time, don’t overanalyze other products, it might limit the way you
think. Take a look and move on with ur vision.
13. The Three Musketeers
Use a team of three for version 1.0. Start with a developer, a designer,
and a sweeper (someone who can roam between both worlds).
14. If you try to please everyone, you won’t please anyone
So, identify your target audience
15. Ignore Details Early On
Work from Large to Small
Success and satisfaction are in the details.
However, success isn't the only thing you'll find in the details. You'll also find
stagnation, disagreement, meetings, and delays. These things can kill morale
and lower your chances of success.
16. Support
Feel the Pain of your customers.
Avoid building walls between your customers and the development/design
team. Don't outsource customer support to a call center or third party. Do it
yourself. You, and your whole team, should know what your customers are
saying. When your customers are annoyed, you need to know about it. You need
to hear their complaints. You need to get annoyed too.
17. It’s a nice read and great lessons, go read it yourself: Getting Real
