Un-artificial Intelligence: How People Learn (Melinda Seckington)Future Insights
Taken from Future of Web Design, London 2015 Conference.
http://futureofwebdesign.com/london-2015
HAL, Skynet, KITT...we’ve always been intrigued by artificial intelligence, but have you ever stopped to considered the un-artificial? Most developers are familiar with the basics of AI: How do you make a computer, an algorithm, a system learn something? How do you model real world problems in such a way that an artificial mind can process them? What most don't realize though is that the same principles can be applied to people. This talk looks at some of the theories behind how machines learn versus how people learn, and maps it to real life examples of how specifically our users learn their way around interfaces and how designers and developers apply learning methodologies in their day-to-day actions.
Because today every time we choose an algorithm, a dataset, a framework, even a plugin, our decision may have tremendous consequences on people near and far around us.
As we, in the tech industry, slowly come to realise the power we wield, we urgently need to train our brains into an ethical decision-making framework.
How can we make sure our choices won't harm others?
Social Media and the Social Identity & Knowledge Gap TheoryDavid Onoue
This presentation examines two communication theories and its relevance to modern social media. The first is social identity theory, developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner, which asserts that group membership creates in-group/self-categorization and enhancement in ways that favor the in-group at the expense of the out-group. The second is knowledge gap theory first purposed by Philip Turner, George Donohue, and Clarice Olien. They believed that the increase of information in society is not evenly acquired by every member of society. People with higher socioeconomic status tend to have better ability to acquire information.

21 RULES to Rock Your Next Pitch or SXSW SessionStan Phelps
Here's the problem: According to most studies, the number one fear for people is public speaking. Number two is death. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, "This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
Here's the truth: No one is born a natural at public speaking. It scares the living daylights out of everyone. Mark Twain perhaps put it best, "There are two types of speakers in this world: those that are nervous and those that are liars.”
Here's the solution: It takes discipline and practice to channel your nerves. This deck will provide guidelines to help you on that journey. 21 rules of thumb by the numbers. Simple and understandable rules of the road that you can immediately use to become a better presenter. Whether you are making a business pitch or getting ready to rock your next SXSW session, these rules will help sharpen your saw. Because nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate.

High Five Conference 2015 Top 25 TakeawaysStan Phelps

The Ethics of Everybody Else | Wrangle Conference 2017Cloudera, Inc.
We aren’t surprised by facial recognition at security checkpoints. But how do you feel about face-scanning toilet roll dispensers? What if they don’t just find criminals but try to detect “criminality”? Laws and policies almost always lag technology so data scientists and machine learning experts are among the first line of ethical defense. The argument in this talk is that to be ethical, any system that classifies human beings has to consider the goals of the people affected by the system, not just the builders’ goals. This is not particularly convenient, but there are concrete ways to put goal-oriented design into practice. Doing so puts us in a better position to practice ethical behavior and attempt to address problems of power and the reproduction of inequality.

The New Norm(al): Confronting What Open Means for Higher EducationBonnie Stewart
The opening provocation/keynote for #altc 2017, this talk examines open educational practices for a time of institutional decline & pervasive corporatism & sensationalism. It challenges the idea of norms and normal in the figure - and implied objectivity - of the Bell Curve, and posits instead the figure of the cyborg as a model for openness in fraught but important digital spaces.
10 of the Biggest Stories in TechnologyBrett Cotham
October was filled a a number of great technology breakthroughs. While it is impossible to list all of the new advancements, I would like to share my favorites. Here are 10 of the biggest stories in technology throughout the month of October.
In a world that appears riven by social media, ill-informed opinion, rumour, and conspiracy theories in preference to facts and established truths, it can be alarming to see scientists, doctors, and engineers challenged by vacuous statements that often hold sway over the hard-won truths of science. Moreover, large numbers of people do not understand the ‘scientific method’ and what makes it so powerful.
Paradoxically, those challenging science and scientists based on their belief systems do so using technologies that can only be furnished by scientific methodologies. For sure; no religion, belief system, great political mind, anarchist, professional protester, or social commentator will produce a TV set, mobile phone, laptop, tablet, supercomputer, MRI Scanner, AI system, or vaccine! But they will criticise, challenge, and be abusive based on their ignorance and inability.
So, this is the world that now influences the minds of young aspiring students, and this presentation is designed to go beyond the simple exposition and statement of the scientific principles and method, to provide an ancient, modern, and forward-looking perspective. It also includes a complex ‘worked example’ to highlight the rigour that must be applied to establish any truth!

SXSW Session Description: No offense, but there’s a reason your marketing sucks: it’s all about you.
In today’s world of the ever-connected, information-empowered buyer, you can’t afford to lose their attention like this. Attention is the currency of the information age, and buyers (B2B or B2C) only give attention to the brands who understand them.
This is the only competitive advantage that matters today.
Let's talk about how we got ourselves into a world where consumers inherently mistrust our marketing and expect a new level of customer-centricity.
Let's remember why we're here in the first place and what NEW tactics and technology are emerging to help get this right.
Join this session, and cut the sh*t.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Rick Tumlinson has been called one of the world’s top space
“visionaries” and is credited with helping create the commercial
space industry of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, often referred to as
NewSpace. As a result of his world changing work, in 2015 he won
the World Technology Award. He is a founding partner of
SpaceFund, a new type of investment firm at the intersection of
digital financial technologies and space development focused on
early stage space companies. A leading writer, speaker, policy
expert and Congressional witness, he led the commercial takeover
of the Russian Mir space station, signed the first space tourist, co-
founded the Space Frontier Foundation, and was a founding board
member of the X-Prize. His non-profit organizations, The EarthLight
Foundation and the New Worlds Institute support research into
frontier enabling research and education.
ABOUT
RICK TUMLINSON
3. I’m an Air Force kid, so I grew up in many places. Primary influences were far West Texas where I lived often
with my grandparents, and the UK for about 8 years before I turned 18.Dad was an Air Force Sargeant, a
flight crew chief, its important but still only paid blue collar wages. I am the oldest of three brothers. To
support our family, he had to take on sometimes 3 other jobs. He and my grandparents were hardcore about
teaching us all practical things. My brothers and I can wire a house, fix a car, shoot a gun and manage a
garden. Mum was a lovely little English lady with a wicked sense of humour who set up food pantries and
Meals on Wheels in East Texas, and was recognized by the state legislature for her work.I was a chronic
asthmatic early on. I joke about my first camping trip being in an oxygen tent. It made me tough and gave
me a ton of time to learn and study. I was essentially self-taught in many areas. By many measurements I was
bad kid, a rebel. I was in constant reaction to the system, fighting all the way, eventually joining other bad
kids and living a counter life style. I had to re-invent myself several times, always pushing towards an ideal
just beyond reach, but getting closer every time. It was a struggle (still is) but slowly I pulled myself towards
the dream.I eventually found myself in New York City married to a lovely actress. I started the New York L-5
Society aboard the Intrepid Aircraft carrier, soon becoming the largest chapter of that organization....

4. (continued) Dr. O’Neill’s High Frontier had changed everything for me and so many others. He gave us
permission to dream, and shifted the opening of space to something we could do, regular people, in a way
making us all feel we had the “right stuff”. So I volunteered to work for Dr. O’Neill at his Institute in
Princeton. Through the kindness he and Dr. Dyson and others showed me, I was soon an employee.Along
the way I became involved in the politics and policies of the frontier in DC. We passed the first Space
Settlement Act in 1988. At he same time I founded the Space Frontier Foundation with some amazing
friends, and during the 1990’s we went to war with the existing aerospace establishment in the name of
opening the frontier. Way too much to tell you about that…lol… but we put in place the framework for what
we call the NewSpace revolution. Heck, we invented the term at one of our leader’s dining room tables in
Virginia. It’s not well known, but without the work of our merry band of volunteers SpaceX an much of the
commercial spaceflight industry might not exist today, as we initiated the shift to commercial space in the
government and incubated a lot of would be entrepreneurs and their ideas. It was a rough and long fight,
again, a long story…By the way, someone should tell that story sometime, as there were so many who gave
their evenings, weekends, family time, vacations and more to open the path for those I call the “billionaire
cavalry” to ride through. Real heroes. Personally, I owe a huge debt to those along the way who helped
me/allowed me to join in this cause, and to them, the true heroes of the movement.

T-MINUS 10 INTERVIEW SERIES | Dylan Taylor
5. As a kid I couldn’t find a lot of super achiever role models in my immediate surroundings. I
retreated into reading, and later films and TV. I lived in the heroes of Robert Heinlein, Isaac
Asimov and Arthur C. Clark, (all of whom I got to meet, and even became friends with
“Uncle Arthur”, as we used to call him!) I watched the first space race on TV at the same
time I was ingesting these visions of the future, including Star Trek and eventually Star Wars
and the rest. I could see what was happening out there right now, and was reading and
watching stories about where it would lead. In the mind of a young kid it all melded
together. I wanted to help “make it so”. But I had no idea how to get there from my life. I
wasn’t one of those who knew my path from a young age. Life was too immediate, and it all
looked like fiction. It took time and a lot of wrong turns to make it happen. But as Gene
Rodennberry told me in a chance encounter in college: it doesn’t matter where you came
from or where you are, but where you want to go. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t,
always stay your course, and never ever give up.

10. 2001 A Space Odyssey. It is the obvious
choice for a spacer. It was the first film to try
and get it right. At the time it came out we
were just getting to the Moon. It showed a
plausible future that extended from what was
right in front of us. Spaceliners, hotels in
space, Lunar research bases, deep space
expeditions and more – with real humans at
the center. Whatever the plot or prime story, I
was enthralled by all the scenes in space, as
they seemed so real. I just wanted to be
there.

11. As to fiction, of course anything by the three greats

important were Stranger in a Strange Land and the
Foundation series. The whole Lord of the Rings
series/The High Frontier/The War of Art/Durant’s
History of Philosophy/2001 A Space

15. Surround yourself with excellent dreamers. Either build something new yourself or join an entrepreneurial or
belief based group in which you can play a bigger role in transforming the future. If you have no other path,
go corporate so you can at least participate, but realize your dreams will be in the hands of others. (You can
always spin out and do your own thing later.)
Know that if you join or create a start up you are gambling both on yourself and your team-mates – so they
better be dam good – as there is some equation out there that says your own excellence is directly
proportional to the team you lead or are a part of and this means more than brilliance. It includes things like
integrity, compassion, grit and a willingness to dive in and pick up a mop if needed. No flakes, assholes or
elitists allowed – even if they are a genius, as they will sink you/screw you/kill your team or spirit in the end.
That’s what airlocks are for.
Before you start something new study the field, know that the biggest liar you will meet is yourself and your
own ability to snowjob your own practical sensibilities, so make sure you have a good reality check network
around you, and don’t be so attached to your idea that you cant let it go if something else makes better
sense.Always remember – There is a very, very fine line between someone who clings to something stupid and
tanks and someone who won’t take no for an answer and becomes a star.

We have enough rocket engineers. Do something else.
Don’t start anything that will take a hundred million to succeed. Pick something that
can make money either directly related to your space goals very soon, or that can
produce something also relevant to a current market.
However no matter what you choose, realize this is a long play, and do not forsake
family and your own well being today in hopes of it all happening quickly. In the end
we do this for life, love and humanity. Don’t lose yours in the quest to be great, rich
or powerful, for when you succeed and your descendants are sitting by the viewing
port of their city in space, you want the songs they sing of you to be those of
someone who was good.
