Beyond the First Click: How today’s volunteers build power for movements and ...MobLab
If movements and organizations invest in and cultivate supporters who are doing substantial and meaningful work, then does their reach, impact and odds of success increase?
That’s the question we set out to explore.
We wanted to look under the hood of organizations doing a great job engaging top-tier supporters and volunteer leaders. These organizations are creating opportunities for supporters and volunteers to make decisions and act on behalf of the organisation.
We sought to uncover insights, patterns and best practices that we could share with our colleagues in the nonprofit sector.
We interviewed 35 organizations and experts in eight countries. Beyond the First Click is a project of Capulet, Change.org and the Mobilisation Lab at Greenpeace.
Leading on Social Platforms - Smarter Networking in a Connected WorldBeth Kanter
This document summarizes a presentation by Beth Kanter on using social media platforms strategically for organizational leadership. Kanter outlines a "ladder of engagement" for organizations on social media, ranging from having no presence to fully integrating social strategies. She encourages leaders to develop an authentic personal brand in service of organizational goals. Kanter also provides tips for different leadership styles on social media, such as being a storyteller, curator, or networker. The goal is to help organizations and their leaders effectively leverage social platforms.
This document summarizes Beth Kanter's presentation on leading networked nonprofits. Some key points:
1) Networked nonprofits use social media and online networks effectively to further their mission and see measurable results. They have a network mindset of openness, transparency, and collective action.
2) To be successful with a network approach requires both a network mindset and use of networking tools. Information and relationships flow in many directions.
3) Networked nonprofits are transparent, embrace social culture, and are willing to learn from mistakes and failures. Data is used for continuous improvement rather than being data-driven.
Facebook has reached 2 billion monthly active users, making it the largest social network by far and one of the most widely adopted technologies ever. While its growth is extraordinary, users have also become increasingly engaged with Facebook over time. Facebook's business model centers around capturing and reselling users' attention through advertising, similar to other major attention merchants throughout history. Some have raised ethical questions about Facebook's approach and priorities, as its founder Mark Zuckerberg was focused from the early days on understanding human psychology and using social dynamics to drive growth, rather than developing new technologies or ensuring user privacy.
The presenter discussed how social media and new technologies are changing healthcare marketing and communications. Some key points:
- Social media tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, blogs and videos are increasingly popular ways for people to get information and connect with each other.
- Younger generations, called "Net Gen", expect more freedom, customization, collaboration and speed in their work and daily lives. Healthcare marketers need to understand these changing expectations.
- Marketers should use social media to build relationships, boost their reputation and expertise, and engage customers in conversations to stay relevant in today's fast-changing environment.
- The first steps are to educate yourself on various social media tools, create online profiles, start

Xerox technicians solved problems by sharing experiences and insights with each other rather than using manuals. They formed an informal community of practice where new knowledge was co-created when solving issues. Management later tried formalizing this by creating online communities, but technicians did not feel engaged until a community was formed that encouraged their participation and focused on their needs rather than extracting knowledge. Effective communities form organically around shared interests and specialties rather than being imposed from above.

Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup SlidesZilliz
Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
