Space ship depots continue to come online, with launches to the Moon occurring daily. The moon bases
have been stabilized, and humans are beginning to settle in.
Not surprisingly, many island nations fared better than expected during the outbreak. Their isolation could
be very valuable if we face a third round of infection before the earth has been evacuated. We need to get
them back on the grid as soon as possible. Japan, Madagascar, and Iceland are first on the list for
building infrastructures. Local teams have managed to get some equipment, but all you’ll have to start
with is one repository and blank hardware. As we’ve learned while building the depots, travel is
dangerous and difficult. You will need to create your infrastructure in a lab first, to ensure it will be able to
be quickly deployed by a local team. Once the process has been deemed successful, we will establish a
satellite link to the islands to get everything we need to the local repositories

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
