03 29 09 Improving Communication By Dealing With Our Differences Part I Keys ...West Ridge Marriage Ministry
The document discusses dealing with differences in marriage. It notes that while marriages are best when couples share values, they often differ in personality. The natural response is to try to change one's spouse, but this usually pushes them away. Instead, the document recommends accepting one's spouse as a gift from God to help us grow, embracing differences, and allowing God to use our spouse to change us rather than trying to change them. This creates a safe environment for communication and intimacy.Idaho 95
Idaho experienced severe flooding in 1995. Heavy rainfall caused rivers and streams to overflow their banks, inundating communities across the state.

Game Piracy
A Simple presentation on Video Game Piracy in general. And how its effecting PC, Consoles and Handhelds.
The $8 billion i pod
The document discusses the $8 billion iPod and copyright mathematics. It notes that the Motion Picture Association in America claims they lose $58 billion per year to copyright theft. However, a copyright mathematician analyzes the details and breaks down where that $58 billion is actually coming from, such as the corn industry, fruit industry, wheat industry, cotton industry, tobacco industry, and more. Another example given is that music revenues decreased by about $8 billion when Napster launched. The document questions what the real numbers are and suggests ringtone piracy may account for the remaining amounts. It concludes by noting the interest in a line about the first MP3 player being a big hit because it allowed people to have $1.5 million

The document discusses the growth of text messaging and argues that predictions that it would not catch on have been proven wrong by the 6.1 trillion text messages sent annually.

The document also discusses how text messaging began as an unintended feature of mobile phones and has become a mainstream form of communication.

Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI models
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
