Outliers are data points or people situated differently from the main group. The document discusses outliers in the context of success, noting that many highly successful people spent around 10,000 hours of focused practice before creating their best work. It also emphasizes that where and when people grew up shapes who succeeds, and that success is often the result of sustained effort over time rather than innate talents alone.

Writing An Introduction
The document provides guidance on writing introductions for college papers according to rubrics at USF. An introduction should state the main topic/thesis clearly and capture the reader's attention. It can be written either before or after the first draft. Effective introductions start with a question, anecdote, fact, paradox or analogy related to the topic. The introduction should define the topic and divide out points that will be discussed in the body, then drive those points home in the conclusion.

Rajiv Sharma Keynote Presentation – Calabar 08-09-2015
The keynote presentation discusses the changing landscape of talent management. It covers six main pillars of talent management: recruitment, learning and development, goals and performance management, career development, rewards and compensation, and succession planning. Each pillar has transitioned from traditional, organization-focused approaches to new, employee-centered models that prioritize experiences, skills development, collaboration, diversity, and flexibility. The presentation argues that these shifts are necessary for organizations to attract, engage, and retain top talent in today's dynamic business environment.

Manifest destiny.ppt
Manifest Destiny was an ideology in the 19th century United States that promoted westward expansion across North America. It held that it was America's destiny to expand from coast to coast under the belief that it was divinely ordained. As American settlers moved west, they encountered Mexico which owned Texas and disputed the boundary with the United States. This led to the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, in which the U.S. defeated Mexico and gained control of Texas, California, and New Mexico.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

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. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
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.
Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
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).

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Outliers
- 2. a statistical observation that is markedly different in value from the others of the sampleout⋅li⋅er
- 3. These people share a distinct commonality 10,000 hours Each had at least 10,000 hours before they created their best work outliers
- 4. “It makes a difference where and when we grew up…it’s not enough to ask what successful people are like, in other words, it is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn’t”
- 5. Success
- 7. Bill Gates Hearts and Minds
Editor's Notes
- Successes are what they are with the help of the surroundings of the individual… specific support played an integral role in the successes of all the individuals mentioned in this book. From artists to airplane pilots.
- “Classical composers without exception don’t produce great work until their tenth year” Measured through culture and community. Practice and hardwork: The 10,000 hour effectImpatience breeds mediocrity… Complex jobs take along time to reach masteryLesson from Outliers according to Gladwell: how can we build institutions that provide opportunities to work hard
- The Beatles: in the late 50’s the Beatles were invited to Germany to become the house band8 hour sets 7 nights a weekOver the course of that time, they learned to become great. They had played together 1 1200 times before coming to America. What made the Beatles special was the willingness to work 8 hours 7 nights to become betterMeaningful work. Throw their heart and mind into something to be great
- Allowed to program at 13 in 1969. RealtimeAllowed to practice his passion for over 10,000 hours in order to become great. All the instances in his life made him successful from where he lived to the people who contributed to his access to technology provided him the opportunity to become better and carry that drive into meaningful work…heart and mind
- Leaders are judged before they have had a chance to complete their best workWe give up our support of leaders who fail within 6 months of their beginning. Change theories suggest a plan of action, a necessary approach to change. Outliers become the change once they’ve attained their practice quota. The unfortunate part of leadership is the lack of time given for one to prove ones worth. As a leader it is equally important to realize that followers also need the same time to perfect their status. The same 10,000 hours holds true for courageous followers to become proficient in their art.
