The following document was elaborated by InPeople Consulting & UpsideRisks as a consecuence of the participation at the Conference Exponential Finance and their own research.
You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of data; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the imagination. In this talk we will learn the relationship between Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Augmented Reality. We'll discuss the past, present and futures of these technologies to determine if we are heading towards paradise or into the twilight zone.
Talk given at Te Papa, for the NDF NZ. The video of the talk is inserted here before the slides themselves.

Circular Economy - And Open Source + Hacking As Paths To It Lars Zimmermann

There's no such thing as Artificial IntelligenceJon Whittle
Despite impressive advances in artificial intelligence (AI), none of the systems currently in use display anything remotely equivalent to human-level intelligence. That's not necessarily a bad thing - this talk argues that the future of AI is Collaborative Intelligence where the best of AI works with the best of human intelligence
If your job is to make things for the web, and the company you work for doesn’t build fitness trackers, or robots, or smart light bulbs, or a cloud service that aims to connect all these things, you could be forgiven for not caring all that much about today's Internet of Things. My aim with this talk is to shift the conversation away from things and back to people. In doing so, I hope to also arm you with tools to better understand, and find your place, within this complex but fascinating landscape.
First presented at Generate Conference in San Francisco on July 15, 2016.

Acts of being in proxies for prints: People in the Catalogue of Political and...James Baker

Satirical designs printed onto paper from engraved copper plates are a valuable source of behaviours, attitudes, controversies, and politics in late-Georgian London. Equally valuable to the historian are the detailed descriptions of some 12,000 of these satirical prints compiled by Mary Dorothy George and published as volumes five to eleven of the *Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum* between 1935 and 1954. Now indexed as a database hosted on the British Museum website, George's interpretations underpin most historical research into these most beloved objects of British Art via keyword searches and SPAQL endpoint queries enabled by the transformation of her catalogue entries into digital data.
This paper describes research that uses George's descriptions as a proxy dataset for late-Georgian satirical prints, investigates patterns of behaviour in her descriptions, and explores how these corpus level patterns correlate with patterns of behaviour observable in hand-assembled collections of the satirical prints. Corpus level textual analysis (relative word frequencies, concordance measures, named entity recognition) and close object analysis of hand-assembled print collections are used side-by-side, with insights from each methodological approach used to generate insights that are then measured, tested, and enriched by the other.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

With regards to mechanical knowledge, it is probable that we are still
in our infancy, and when it is considered that, fifty years ago, many
inventions for abridging the operations of industry, which are now in
common use, were utterly unknown, it is not absurd to conjecture that
fifty years hence, some new contrivance may be thought of in
comparison with which the steam engine and spinning jennies,
however wonderful they appear to us at present, will be considered as
slight and insignificant discoveries.

To do justice to the aspirations of a macroscope, and to use it to
perform the Humanities effectively – and politically – we need to be
able to contextualise every single word in a representation of every
word, ever. Every gesture contextualised in the collective record of all
gestures; and every brushstroke, in the collective knowledge of every
painting.
