Running in the Infonautic Age - How Technology Will Change the Way We RunScott Dunlap
A glimpse of some new technologies coming to the world of running, as presented at the San Francisco Running Company on Sept 26, 2013 for Altra and Runner's World. Although tech isn't needed to enjoy a good run, we are in the Gold Rush era of accessible tech, and data is the new gold. New devices, new displays, analysis, recovery tools, core tech, you name it - most of it will show up in the next 2-12 months.
The document discusses the SportE2 project, which develops an approach and technologies for energy savings in sport facilities. The project is funded by the European Commission to promote energy efficiency in buildings. It outlines SportE2's four main concepts: smart metering to understand energy consumption, integrated control capabilities, optimization of energy management decisions using data, and multi-facility management and benchmarking. It then provides examples of SportE2 pilots in Italy, Portugal, and Spain and assessments of energy and emissions savings achieved.

Walk and Run For Life! Through Lever Mechanisms Or Spring Mechanisms? Melbour...Dr. James Stoxen DC
Running, as decades of studies have shown, is one of the best ways for your patients to put distance between themselves and the aging process. The medical quandary, though, has been determining for mature patients when the physical demands of running – the wear and tear on bone and joints — outweigh the enormous anti-aging benefits. Many physicians err on the side of caution, supportive footwear, orthotics and even prematurely advising patients to stop running. It’s been a pleasure to be here in Australia. Many of you know the “Blue Wiggle” Anthony Field, and it’s interesting that you’re coming to a medical conference and you’re hearing a doctor talk about anti-aging medicine and the application of bare-foot running and that was certainly the exact same thing that the client said, when I recommended barefoot running and barefoot training to him back in 2004. What happened was this individual had chronic pain, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, which obviously was misdiagnosed, and he had clinical depression. To learn more about Dr. Stoxen’s other Lecture he gave entitled, ‘The Inflammation-Depression Connection at The 6th Annual A5M Conference In Anti-Aging & Aesthetic Medicine, click here I’m talking about the ‘Wiggles’ by the way and they were only in Chicago for approximately 48 hours, and we had a limited amount of time to try to fix this chronic condition that Anthony had for 25 years. What I did was what he called “the pain exorcism” which was a 15-hour-straight treatment broken up between, shows. Basically this was a grueling release of the human spring mechanism, and the flushing of the inflammatory chemicals with various therapies that was, extremely aggressive. - See more at: http://teamdoctorsblog.com/2013/03/lecture-video-and-power-point-notes-for-walk-and-run-for-life-through-lever-mechanisms-or-spring-mechanisms-melbourne-australia-august-19-2012/#sthash.oT1pIjK6.dpuf
This short presentation highlights my recent thoughts on how emerging technological trends and future predictions might change the grassroots sports landscape in the not too distant future.
Biometric smart wear continues to advance whilst mind-controlled systems that deliver frictionless interactions via ‘natural user interfaces’ begin to get traction. The widespread adoption of cognitive systems that learn, reason and engage with us in more natural ways will help us to make smarter decisions. And augmented reality applications such as the Recon Jet heads-up display product will deliver performance and environmental metrics aimed at improving the overall sporting experience for cyclists and alpine sports enthusiasts.
Everyday sporting activities of the future will be enhanced by technological advances that give us greater control and optimise our experience helping us to learn and progress faster, improve our fitness, have a more enjoyable time and avoid injury.

1. APIs are driving changes in software development by serving as reusable code libraries that developers integrate instead of downloading.
2. However, API-driven development can lead to suffering due to dependencies and breakages as APIs are imperfect and change over time.
3. Developers can reduce suffering by avoiding tight coupling, planning for failure and change, and using tools to monitor APIs and gracefully handle errors.
4. The path to reducing suffering is to follow principles of non-attachment to dependencies as well as wisdom, good behavior and focus, as in the Buddhist eightfold path.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

Welcome! In this session we would like to give a sneak peak of some new technology that will likely appear on the trails in 2017.
In particular, we are going to cover a few that might have larger implications for Race Directors.
Your speakers today are two guys who balance the nerd worlds of Silicon Valley with the trails.
Scott is a tech entrepreneur, so his “day job” is to figure out what technologies will be widely adopted and when. He likes to apply this to trail running.
First of all, I should point out that nobody “needs” technology to run. You don’t even need a destination to get a taste of the joy, optimism, and fitness that comes with the oldest human sport.

But technology that helps capture the experience – in photos, in data, in sharing – are actually driving more interactions with nature.
Behind this is something called the “Easterlin Paradox”, a study of happiness that has been going on for the last 20 years.
At the core of this paradox is that material purchases and experiences have similar happiness measurements when they occur. But over time, a purchase brings LESS happiness while an experience brings MORE happiness.
Experiences require more adaptation (whereas we tend to get used to the items we purchase), and because of this, experiences become ingrained in our identify.
Experiences become the stores we tell.
So don’t think of technology as gadgets that get in the way, think of them as ways to capture and share a defining experience.
When you find technologies that are REALLY good at this, you can expect they will grow rapidly.
Technology can be motivational. Seeing the elevation you tracked, getting a Strava King of the Mountain, sharing with friends – each of these increase the reach of a defining experience.
The act of capturing the experience (bottom left) is what is seeing the biggest boom right now.
This is the new camera on the iPhone 7, capable of amazing photos beyond most professional rigs.
This is a headband with a 4k video built in – that’s how small these cameras are getting.
This is a drone, which we will talk about in more detail.
Live sharing is also something I want to drill into, and then I’ll go through a few fun products set to hit the markets this year.
The trick of course is to not go “full Borg” (Star Trek reference) and lose track of the essence of running.
Don’t forget to unplug!
Ah, the “selfie”. But if you think about it as capturing and sharing an experience – such as your race experience – you can understand the craze.
It is evolving quickly. The selfie stick of 2015 is quickly giving way to drones that follow you around. Soon, those will live stream as well.
Both of these have HUGE implications to race directing, so let’s dig in a bit.
Drones are already big. With 1.9 million units in use just in the USA, and doubling every year, you can expect them to be at every race within the year.
Registration of drones has jumped from 150k to 500k devices just this year. And the commercial drone laws that went into effect two weeks ago will produce 600k licensed drone pilots…nearly 3x the number of manned pilots...in the first year. It’s big.
The big leap that will happen in late 2016 is the appearance of affordable semi-autonomous drones, which you toss into the air and they follow you around.
It’s best to just see these semi-autonomous drones at work, so let’s watch a video.
[video]
Compact, semi-autonomous, waterproof, durable…and $650.
So what are the implications?
When Scott last ran in Zermatt, Switzerland at the Ultraks 55k, six drones met the lead pack at the first ridge, all fighting for air space. It was a little scary.
Now everyone might have one of their own!
GoPro will make their new drone available to 15,000 stores in a few weeks, and it can be carried in a backpack.
The DJI Mavic Pro now fits in the size of your hand.
The Teal Drone can fly up to 70 mph.
The skies will fill with these things when an epic event is on, and that raises some important questions for RD’s.
Are drones in your policies? Do your t’s and c’s to accept responsibility of your drone? Does your insurance cover damages if one crashes?
Just some things to think about.
Live sharing has always been important, but it’s also increasing dramatically.
For example, how many people came on the Internet to watch the start of UTMB this year?
The answer is over 100,000. And another 3 million watched the 19 cameras set up for live web feeds along the way.
Your race audience is WELL beyond the participants, even at a race the size of UTMB. And it’s the participants that will amplify this more than ever through live sharing to their peers.
One example is Facebook Live. Any Facebook user can now stream a live video to their friends, a select group, or everyone. Those watching can comment back, give a thumbs up or reaction, all in real time.
That’s 1 billion users who already watch 8 billion videos per day.
Live video is up 75% on Facebook this year, and when it’s live, viewing is 3x longer.
How much can it grow? How many of you are on Facebook? And how many of you have live streamed a video? So, it could possibly grow at what…10x more?
Strava is a well-known social network for endurance athletes. Now when you record a race or run, you can share your progress and location with anybody – even people who aren’t on Strava.
It was originally intended for safety purposes (“where are you?”), but has turned out to be very handy for crews.
Millenials are all over this, no surprise, with nearly all of them watching live content daily. There is a big audience for live sharing.
So are you set up for your participants to do live streaming? Are the logos on BOTH SIDES of the starting and finishing chutes?
Are you inviting them to stream it? Are you giving them a hashtag so people can find all of them?
When you do, your race becomes more of an experience, not only for the participants, but the people watching as well.
The amount of Internet-connected devices is set to explode over the next four years.
Sensors and chips are cheaper, and they can all access capabilities in the cloud that make things like artificial intelligence work well with big data sets, and create compelling experiences back to the device.
The question used to be “why put something on the Internet”, but it’s quickly becoming “why wouldn’t you put it on the Internet?”.
Here are a few fun ones that you might see on the trails.
One great thing about new sensors is that things that used to require invasive testing – like blood samples for VO2 max, hemoglobin, or lactic acid tests – can now be done non-invasively and in real time.
BSX Insight has a calf sleeve that uses LED lights to track lactic acid. Now you can fine tune your training, and know when you’ve burned that candle at both ends.
BSX also recently announced LVL, a hydration monitor that fits on your wrist and uses red-light technology to monitor your hydration. It sold $1 million in pre-sales in the first week and is due out in Summer, 2017. Given that 75% of people are in a constant state of dehydration, I think this may be more revealing and useful than a Fitbit.
Sensoria has developed a “smart sock” that has sensors woven directly into the fabric. This is a trend we are likely going to see, where measurement devices are non longer separate straps or devices, but instead put right into the fabric.
The smart sock can tell you all about your foot strike and weight distribution, for example, and how that affects your cadence. It can also help you pick out the right shoes.
The new Jabra Sport Plus headphones have a built in HRM that can do VO2 Max testing live.
A Canadian company called InteraXon has developed a portable EEG that can track brainwaves.
Why? By itself, it may not be interesting, but combined with other data it could help you understand what conditions are affecting your mood, stress, etc. It could even be used to trigger or control events.
One case I could see this used is with other data to indicate what leads you to hit a mental low point, and start becoming predictive. Or have it change your songs based on your mood.
Gatorade has jumped into the smart product world too, with a sweat sensor that tracks water and electrolyte loss then suggests a custom cap to your bottle that replaces in the right ratio.
Displays are getting interesting too. The latest flexible OLED screen can show an HD video on a piece of plastic the size of two sheets of paper, and can be rolled up to the size of roll of quarters.
Snapchat (now called “Snap”) just two weeks ago released a $130 pair of glasses that takes a stereo circular video image of 10-30 seconds and sends it right to your Snapchat feed.
Want an instant ice bath? Cryo-tanks can now spray you down in 90 seconds.
Want to see exactly how and where your muscles, bones, and tendons are wearing and tearing? The Dexa X-ray can scan you in minutes and give you a full break down for $15.
Want the heat? You can now get an infrared sauna put into your house for $5k that can heat up in 2 minutes.
And hospital-grade inflatable compression can now be purchased for the home. There was a guy on my flight two weeks ago who just whipped these out in coach – apparently it’s that socially acceptable now.
