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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. RETICLE CONFIGURATION | 3
Reticle Placement
Position of the reticle (crosshairs) in the
front focal plane (behind the objective
lens) means that with change in
magnification both the target image and
the reticle thickness increase or decrease.
Position of the reticle in the rear focal
plane (in front of the eyepiece) allows the
reticle to maintain its constant virtual size
throughout the entire magnification range.
So shortly:
• All fixed magnification riflescopes are
not affected by the reticle position
• A reticle positioned in the front focal
plane enables the shooter to use the
distance estimation scale and dimensions
of thick lines for measuring distance at any
magnification.
Use of the distance scale with 4A
and 4B reticles
Distance scales help users estimate the
distance of an object depending on its size.
Line up the target or a part of the target, the
size of which you estimate to be 0.5m on
the bottom line in the ranging scale. The
number that coincides closest with the top
of the animal’s back indicates its distance
in hundreds of meters. For example, if the
body trunk height of an adult Roebuck is
estimated to be 0.5 m, then this Roebuck,
as seen in the illustration, is approximately
200 meters away from the shooter. The 4A
ranging reticle allows for range estimation
out to 400 meters, while the 4B adds
extended distance to 600 meters.

mildot
Originally used by the Marines this
reticle is useful for estimating range,
hold-over and windage. For long
distance target shooters and hunters
needing basic ranging capability.
Use of MilDot reticles
Similar to the use of distance scale of 4A and 4B reticles, the dots placed on the stadia equal
an angle of 1m at 1000m, or 1 milliradian. The distance D is then determined by a simple
calculation using the formula D=1000 x H/h, where H stands for the actual target height in
meters and h stands for its angular height in scale intervals. The above method of range
finding provides correct results only with riflescope set on the maximum magnification.
