This document discusses the exponential growth of various technologies and their potential disruptive effects. It notes that exponential growth means 30 linear steps results in 30 meters of progress, while 30 exponential steps can circle the globe 26 times. Key technologies mentioned are artificial intelligence, robotics, data storage, sensors, 3D printing, and computing power. The document outlines several ways these technologies could decentralize industries like democratizing access, digitizing information, enabling deception, being disruptive through fundamental shifts, demonetizing, and dematerializing. Examples provided include how 3D printing is enabling new business models and how platform technologies powered by networks are disrupting traditional companies that own no assets.
Food is something the life forms of the entire world need in order to keep growing and sustain themselves. Agriculture is something that every man is accustomed with. Today, agriculture is run by machines, robots, and even drones! Robots can harvest, pick fruits or plant seeds; wearables can help track what plants are in which stage of growth, or which fruits are ripe; drones can spray pesticides or help in seeding; and driverless tractors and machinery can do all the hard work that a man can do. World is growing, and so is the need for food. Thus, we have to think of new ways of improving food production. More info? richardvanhooijdonk.com

The report draws on an EIU survey of 300 Australian executives – 100 in telecommunications and 50 each in agriculture and agribusiness; logistics and distribution; manufacturing; and, transport. We supplemented this with wide-ranging desk research and in-depth interviews with executives to uncover gaps in the supply and demand for machine-to-machine communication (M2M) in Australia.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala

The Interface Is Where the Profit Is
The interface layer is where all the value and profit is. Withings scales can cost five times than other weighing solutions because the addition of an app makes it smart health management, not just weight measurement.
Phillips Hue lighting can make 1,000 times more profit than a colored light bulb because it’s a home emotion system. Sonos beats any other music system I’ve tried because the experience of music while using it is delightful.
The value is in the software interface, not the products. It’s not just the smart home. Uber provides average cars in a premium way; Seamless makes the most disgusting of greasy kebab joints appealing and makes its margin from both sides. iTunes for many years took virtually all the profit made in the entire music industry by being just the thin software between the hard work making tunes and the money selling them.
