Pilgrim Simulation: Purpose And IntroductionSprague School
Purpose and Introduction: The purpose of this Pilgrim Simulation is to prove the many hardships that were part of everyday life in the Plymouth Colony in 1620-1621.
There are three levels of nonspecific host defenses: mechanical, chemical, and cellular. Mechanical defenses include physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as cilia and mucus in the respiratory tract that trap microbes. Chemical defenses secrete antimicrobial substances like oils, acids, and peptides. Normal microbiota on the skin and in the gut inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Cellular defenses include phagocytic white blood cells that engulf microbes, lymphocytes and antibodies in the immune system, and processes like inflammation and fever that fight infection.
While concert attendance is up, $24B worth of tickets go unsold each year due to discovery issues rather than lack of interest. Wax Music aims to solve this problem by using social music discovery on their platform to power concert recommendations and ticket sales. They have had early traction, gaining users and processing music, and they are seeking $750K in seed funding to expand partnerships and capabilities.
Ten ways that technology-driven changes have impacted musicians Kristin Thomson
The document summarizes how technology-driven changes have impacted musicians over the past 20 years. It discusses 10 key changes, including:
1) A vast increase in the number of platforms for musicians to share and distribute their music. While this provides more options, it also fragments audiences.
2) Musicians have greatly improved access to the music marketplace through low-cost digital distribution platforms. However, competition is much higher.
3) There are now many more potential revenue streams for musicians, but individual payments are often very small.
Overall, the changes have both benefits and challenges for musicians. While control and access have increased for some, traditional revenue streams and label support have decreased for many. Music
Azumi deck (patterns of entrepreneurship)Max Lawrence
The document proposes a new subscription-based social media platform called Azumi that allows artists to monetize exclusive content and interactions with fans through "Tribes". It notes that the music industry needs a new model as physical sales decline and streaming grows. Azumi would let fans subscribe directly to their favorite artists to access behind-the-scenes content and perks, addressing pain points around monetization and exclusivity. The founders believe fans would pay up to $2.6 billion annually for this type of access.
Orfium is a music social network and digital rights management platform that aims to address problems in the music industry such as fragmented rights and limited monetization options for artists.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
