This document presents a proposal to construct a new Food & Beverage dining area called Lake Café on the Taylor's University Lakeside campus. The café would be built on an existing parking space near the Boardwalk and consist of an octagonal glass house structure measuring 15x15 meters situated on a 25x25 meter elevated green platform. The café would serve coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and snacks while providing views of the lake. The estimated timeframe for construction is 8-9 months and the café aims to serve students, staff, residents, and visitors on campus.
This document compares and contrasts the science fiction films Inception and Interstellar. It discusses their settings, themes, moods, and targeted audiences. Inception is set in the universe of dreams within dreams, and explores Dominic Cobb's desire to escape guilt. Interstellar is set in a future where Earth is ravaged, and follows Cooper's journey through space to find a new planet. Both films have dark, sad tones, but express emotion differently. Inception is more complex and suitable for older audiences, while Interstellar can be understood by wider age groups due to its themes of space exploration, love, and family. Overall, the document examines how different elements create distinct effects and styles between the two films.
This document summarizes chapters from a story about a gelato stall run by a character called "The Stud". It discusses how The Stud uses stereotypes to make assumptions about different types of customers. It also discusses concepts like first impressions, persuasion techniques, attitudes, social cognition, and confirmation bias. The document analyzes how The Stud interacts with different customers at his stall, like a student and a "Hot Chick", and how his behaviors and attitudes either help or hinder his ability to make sales.
Young people in some countries experience little leisure time and high pressures from schooling. There are three main causes: high self-expectations among youth, parental pressures to succeed, and stressful educational systems. Effects include increased stress, anxiety, depression, and in some cases, suicide. Balancing academics and leisure time is important for youth's mental and physical health.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document summarizes a charity event organized by students to raise funds for World Vision Malaysia. The group of 5 students decided to raise RM3000 through selling products and services. Their target market was college students and staff at the university. They analyzed competitors also running charity events. The group sold items like onigiri, flowers, cacti, temporary tattoos and provided a health scanning service. The funds raised were intended to help provide clean water, healthcare and education for children in need around the world.

This document provides a comparative analysis of two urban streets - University Belt in Manila, Philippines and Medan Pasar in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It examines the urban landscapes, economies, streetscapes, social activities, and cultures of the two areas. While both function as commercial streets, they differ in aspects like physical environment, user groups, contact intensities, and types of social activities. University Belt caters more to locals and students, with informal districts and nightlife, while Medan Pasar has many foreign workers and is a former marketplace focused now on shops and public transport. The analysis considers how factors like climate, street design, and the people shape the social patterns and experiences in each urban realm.
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by Tan Yincy on theories of architecture and urbanism. The first paper discusses Louis Wirth's 1938 work "Urbanism as a Way of Life" and his view that urbanism is characterized by population size, density, and social heterogeneity rather than just physical or economic factors. The second paper examines the book "Body, Memory, & Architecture" and how it depicts the formation of spaces and dwellings relating to the human body. The third paper analyzes Juhani Pallasmaa's work on how architecture can evoke memories and emotions through sensory experiences and a focus on human perception over visual or speed.

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
