4. production experiments(1)
The document discusses the creator's process for creating digital images in Photoshop. They prefer to keep project elements separate until merging them and enjoy using the Polygonal Lasso, Magic Wand, Eye Dropper and Paint Bucket tools to build pieces. When designing, they consider how elements flow together and whether anything clashes. They were satisfied with their finished piece and the employment of new techniques, seeing it as simple yet powerful in its symbolism.
4. production experiments(1)
The document discusses the creator's process for working on digital art projects in Photoshop. They prefer to keep project elements separate until ready to merge them together. Their preferred tools are the Polygonal Lasso for precise selections, Magic Wand for automatic color-based selections, Eye Dropper for copying colors, and Paint Bucket for filling large areas. They build a solid base with these simple tools before expanding. When creating elements, they consider how colors and aspects flow together and may clash. A muted palette with bold colors helps direct attention. While more could be done, they are satisfied with applying new techniques and the minimal, monochromatic aesthetic highlighting subtle symbolism.

2. research sf 2017
Here are some potential constraints that could affect the production:
- Time - The production schedule is limited due to other commitments of those involved. This restricts the scope and scale of what can be achieved.
- Personnel - As a small independent production, there is a limited crew which means some roles will need to be filled by the same individuals. This could stretch resources thin.
- Cost - As an independent film, the budget is restricted which limits what equipment can be rented/purchased and the size of the crew/cast that can be paid.
- Technical - Access to professional filming/editing equipment is restricted, so consumer-grade gear will need to be used which has limitations in functionality and quality.

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.

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).
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE.
