Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

12. Origin of nonlinear RCM
1. Transmitter closeset range: r0 S r0 S 0 r r ctg S
2 2
Transmitter operates in side-looking mode, and it is asymmetrical with
targets along range direction, the conditon r ctgξ S r 2 2r0 S 0 r holds.
2
the variance of the transmitter's closest approach is about linearly proportional
with target's range position, i.e. r0 S r0 S 0 r.
2. Receiver closest range : r0 P r02P 0 r sin S
2
Due to its forward-looking mode, targets along range direction are symmetrically
.
situated. Since r sin S r0 P 0 , we have r0 P r0 P 0 r 2 2r0 P 0 sin 2 S . So the variance
of receiver's closest range r0 P on r is not linear but quadric.
The r -variance of the range history in SA-FBSAR, which is directly affected by r0 P ,
is also nonlinearly variant with range location .

15. Nonlinear RCM Compensation for SA-FBSAR
- nonlinear RCM analytical formula
In (2) (3), due to the forward-looking mode, the coefficients of
quadric range-dependent terms RD 2 and RD 2 are significant
comparing with the linear terms. For example, in the SA-FBSAR system of simulation system
when r 300m , the ratio between the quadric term and linear term is almost 0.1.
SA-FBSAR, RCM not only depends on target's range location (RD-RCM)
and azimuth location (AD-RCM); but also varies with the range location nonlinearly.
The nonlinearity in RD-RCM is not just slight deviation from the linear part as the
monostatic spaceborne side-looking SAR; it exhibits evident nonlinear deviation in RCM trajectory.

22. Simulation
From the above simulation results, we could find that:
Uncompensated RCM could deteriorate imaging result severely, cause
nonlinear distortion
RCM compensation method designed for other FBSAR system could not
compensate the nonlinear RCM, thus could not be applied to SA-FBSAR.
The proposed RCM compensation method could effectively compensate the
nonlinear RCM in SA-FBSAR, and all targets are arranged in their originally
correct positions.
22
23. Conclusions & Further work
RCM in SA-FBSAR not only depends on the target’s
two-dimensional space location, but also varies with its
range location nonlinearly. If not properly corrected, RCM
would cause nonlinear distortion in the image and greatly
degrade the imaging quality.
We propose a two-dimensional nonlinear RCMC method
for SA-FBSAR. The validity of the proposed method is
verified.
Further improvement on resolution performance is under
research
