This document summarizes a presentation about designing voice personalities for artificial intelligence. It discusses how people naturally form social relationships and make character attributions even towards simple machines. Research shows that female voices, extroversion, and agreeableness are generally preferred traits. However, perpetuating stereotypes or allowing manipulation must be avoided. Guiding principles are proposed, such as crafting personalities with ethical values and giving users control over humanization. As voice interfaces become more common, the relationship between humans and AI will continue to evolve.

No, social is not going to save the world of marketing – no more than online, ambient, guerrilla or content did. Social is just a tactic (albeit a very good one). Unfortunately, marketers have a penchant for new tactics - many have jumped wholeheartedly into social without thinking it through, and many have paid a high price.
What will save marketing is refocusing on why your product deserves to live, and why consumers should care. Call it the brand, call it the essence, call it what you will. It’s the stuff that sets you apart from, and above the competition.
So how do you build an effective brand, and then use social to amplify it properly? That’s what I’m here to discuss.
This document provides guidance for staff writers and interns at Holly Pinafore Magazine on basic journalistic principles such as original reporting, what constitutes journalism, and service journalism.

Writers are advised to find unique angles, make content relevant to people's lives, and always properly cite sources to avoid plagiarism.
The document provides an overview of upcoming events in the UAE in February and March 2014, including the Latino Circo circus in Abu Dhabi, the Tap Dogs performance in Dubai, poetry events as part of The Million's Poet series in Abu Dhabi, and the Dubai International Boat Show.

The document discusses how businesses will evolve and adapt to thrive in the emerging low-carbon economies of the future, noting that companies will learn to price and market goods and services differently by accounting for their environmental and social impacts, and will find new ways to reduce waste and operate more sustainably. It also suggests that individuals will make lifestyle changes to consume less and live more lightly on the planet. Finally, it argues that together, such business and individual transformations can help create a more equitable and Earth-friendly economic system.

Here are the key steps I would take to identify an unknown amino acid:
1. Perform a qualitative analysis to determine the functional groups present using appropriate chemical tests. This could include tests for amino groups (ninhydrin test), carboxyl groups (reaction with alcohol to form ester), and identification of the R group.
2. Derivatize the amino acid to form more stable and identifiable derivatives. Common derivatization reactions include dansylation to add a fluorescent tag to the amino group or acid chloride derivatization to modify the carboxyl group.
3. Analyze the derivatized amino acid using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques for separation and structural identification. Thin layer chromatography could provide an initial

Maxine Hong Kingston details her experience growing up as the daughter of Chinese immigrants in 1960s California, having to straddle her traditional upbringing at home and the different culture outside, feeling both voiceless yet intelligent as a child.

Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. Transphobia. Within our own communities, these concepts are not new—but the 2020 pandemic has shone a spotlight on these issues.
It was only February of this year that Prime Minister Kishida’s aide said he “didn’t even want to look at” same-sex married couples.
But surely, we’re not like that. We make technology to make the world better, not hurt it.
Well, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is the technology that we make is not immune to our human biases, and we all have biases. The good news is we can change this. With a bit of courage and humility, we can take the next step into a new frontier of universal design—technology that can be useful to everyone, regardless of their race, ability, identity or sexual orientation.In this 2-hour interactive session, participants will explore together common types of biases in technology and tackle difficult conversations around product design and development decisions.
It will be led by CJ Hostetter (they/them), a designer with ten years of experience in UX design who identifies as nonbinary.
This workshop will take place in person and be centered around small-group discussions tailored to digging in deep and sharing personal predicaments around bias in tech.
人種差別、性差別、同性愛嫌悪、トランスフォビア。

でもきっと、私たちはそんなことはない。私たちは、世の中を良くするために技術を作るのであって、傷つけるために技術を作るのではありません。
さて、良いニュースと悪いニュースがあります。悪いニュースは、私たちが作るテクノロジーは、私たち人間のバイアスに左右されてしまうということです。
良いニュースは、私たちがこれを変えられるということです。
少しの勇気と謙虚さがあれば、人種、能力、アイデンティティ、性的指向に関係なく、すべての人に役立つユニバーサルデザインの新しいフロンティアへ次のステップを踏み出すことができるのです。
この2時間の対話型セッションでは、参加者は一緒にテクノロジーに共通するバイアスを探り、製品設計や開発の意思決定にまつわる会話に取り組みます。
UXデザインで10年の経験を持ち、ノンバイナリーを自認するデザイナー、CJ Hostetter (they/them)がワークショップを行います。

The document discusses how sex and sexuality can influence design in subtle ways. It provides examples of how construction workers in the past would use imagined sexual situations to motivate themselves to lift heavy poles and cables. It also suggests many designed objects and structures, both past and present, take on sexual meanings and symbolism when viewed through that lens. The author argues sexuality is a core human drive that can be harnessed, for better or worse, and designers should thoughtfully consider how their work may appeal to or influence human sexuality.

The Dark Side of Social Media: It's Time to Take Tech Back by Brian Solis, SX...Brian Solis
"We're at a digital and human crossroads," according to Brian Solis, a digital analyst, anthropologist, and best-selling author. As an early geek apologist of Web 2.0 and social media, Solis saw digital Darwinism as a forcing function of humanity. Now he believes we have unwittingly become the problem we were trying to solve.
After studying technology's evolution, the effects on business and society are undeniable - we f'd up. But it's not all our fault.
By design, social media and personal devices were meant to suck us in. But, there were also unforeseen consequences as a result. We fell to the dark side.
In this rousing and personal anthology, Brian (an eternal optimist) will share the history of how the disrupters became the devils and the opportunities for us to resurrect our idealism.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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:

Computers
Are Social Actors.
When a limited set of characteristics associated with humans is applied to computers,
people exhibit social behaviors and make character attributions towards the
computer, and it’s relationship to the themselves. Only minimal cues are needed to
elicit a wide range of these “non-sensical” behaviors toward the machine.

In January 2017, Mattel announced the development of
Aristotle, a smart speaker plus camera, using AI from
Microsoft.
Starting as a baby monitor, as children get older, they can ask
or answer questions. The company says, “Aristotle was
specifically designed to grow up with a child.”
Aristotle was pulled in October 2017, after a petition to stop
its launch gained over 17,000 signatures.

48. Feedback towards a machine is significantly more positive when the machine
asks about itself, vs. when another machine asks.
People rank the performance of machines that are “on their team” as
significantly better than machines that are not on their team.
When people are asked to “help” a computer they had previously collaborated
with, people do significantly more work for that computer than they do for
another machine.
