SXSW SUBMISSION PROPOSAL:
In this interactive talk we discuss teens ability to read emotion through digital behaviour, debate how this affects our real world relationships & learn how to decipher it ourselves.
Behzad Joze Hashemian's presentation Digital Storytelling, Crowdsourcing and Science Education for International Research and Training -symposium, August 29, 2013.
This document discusses how the internet and social media may be changing human psychology and behavior, forming a new type of person called "Homo Interneticus." It explores questions around internet and social media addiction, how platforms like Facebook have evolved and their effects. While some argue it distorts humanity, the document ultimately concludes that the internet fulfills an innate human need for entertainment and connection, and may make future generations more intelligent through better communication and collaboration skills.
This document discusses the power of storytelling and how it has been a critical tool throughout history for uniting people and sharing ideas. It notes that stories are inherently accessible, profoundly retained, and more likely to be shared than statistics. The document advocates using stories over sales pitches to build relationships and suggests listening to understand others as part of the design thinking process.

Data Alone Can't Decode the Fashion Consumer Joanna Riedl
This document discusses how data alone cannot decode fashion consumers, as fashion choices reflect personal style and identity. While e-commerce sales are growing and data can provide product recommendations, fashion involves nuanced factors that are difficult for data to fully capture. Therefore, fashion companies must leverage both data-driven algorithms and human curation to create personalized shopping experiences that deliver the emotion and excitement of fashion for digital consumers.

The Dark Side of Social Media: It's Time to Take Tech Back by Brian Solis, SX...Brian Solis
"We're at a digital and human crossroads," according to Brian Solis, a digital analyst, anthropologist, and best-selling author. As an early geek apologist of Web 2.0 and social media, Solis saw digital Darwinism as a forcing function of humanity. Now he believes we have unwittingly become the problem we were trying to solve.
After studying technology's evolution, the effects on business and society are undeniable - we f'd up. But it's not all our fault.
By design, social media and personal devices were meant to suck us in. But, there were also unforeseen consequences as a result. We fell to the dark side.
In this rousing and personal anthology, Brian (an eternal optimist) will share the history of how the disrupters became the devils and the opportunities for us to resurrect our idealism.

1. The document discusses insights about Generation Z (Gen Z) from research conducted with Gen Z members, including that Gen Z thinks and learns differently than previous generations due to constant technology use.
2. Gen Z craves authenticity and makes snap judgments about content before diving deeply into topics that spark their interest. They are natural learners who aggregate information from various sources.
3. Educators are challenged to find the right balance of technology use that genuinely sparks Gen Z's interest and deepens learning while supporting whole-child development. The purpose, additional skills developed, and how students will use technology must be considered.
This document discusses how people are developing emotional relationships and attachments to relational artifacts and machines. It explores how this affects concepts of life, love, and what it means to be human. Children in particular describe feeling love and care for objects like Furbies in a way similar to how they feel about living things. The document raises questions about how loving machines may change what love means and how people view themselves and their human identity.
This document provides an overview of Generation Edge (ages 10-25), who have grown up with technology integrated into all aspects of their lives. Some key points:
- They think about and experience technology differently than older generations, seamlessly integrating it into socializing, education, creativity, and more.
- Growing up with constant connectivity and access to information has made them adaptable, self-reliant learners who challenge traditional structures and see the online world as a space for experimentation.
- Social media is both a source of conflict for managing their image and relationships, and a way to strengthen community.
- They are advancing conversations around gender, with more fluid conceptions of identity.

It also fulfills prophecies from Isaiah by speaking to crowds only in parables to teach secret things.

COLLEGE students tell me they know how to look someone in the eye and type on their phones at the same time, their split attention undetected. They say it’s a skill they mastered in middle school when they wanted to text in class without getting caught. Now they use it when they want to be both with their friends and, as some put it, “elsewhere.”
These days, we feel less of a need to hide the fact that we are dividing our attention. In a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 89 percent of cellphone owners said they had used their phones during the last social gathering they attended. But they weren’t happy about it; 82 percent of adults felt that the way they used their phones in social settings hurt the conversation.
I’ve been studying the psychology of online connectivity for more than 30 years. For the past five, I’ve had a special focus: What has happened to face-to-face conversation in a world where so many people say they would rather text than talk? I’ve looked at families, friendships and romance. I’ve studied schools, universities and workplaces. When college students explain to me how dividing their attention plays out in the dining hall, some refer to a “rule of three.” In a conversation among five or six people at dinner, you have to check that three people are paying attention — heads up — before you give yourself permission to look down at your phone. So conversation proceeds, but with different people having their heads up at different times. The effect is what you would expect: Conversation is kept relatively light, on topics where people feel they can drop in and out.
Young people spoke to me enthusiastically about the good things that flow from a life lived by the rule of three, which you can follow not only during meals but all the time. First of all, there is the magic of the always available elsewhere. You can put your attention wherever you want it to be. You can always be heard. You never have to be bored. When you sense that a lull in the conversation is coming, you can shift your attention from the people in the room to the world you can find on your phone. But the students also described a sense of loss.
One 15-year-old I interviewed at a summer camp talked about her reaction when she went out to dinner with her father and he took out his phone to add “facts” to their conversation. “Daddy,” she said, “stop Googling. I want to talk to you.” A 15-year-old boy told me that someday he wanted to raise a family, not the way his parents are raising him (with phones out during meals and in the park and during his school sports events) but the way his parents think they are raising him — with no phones at meals and plentiful family conversation. One college junior tried to capture what is wrong about life in his generation. “Our texts are fine,” he said. “It’s what texting does to our conversati.

Getting the Most Out of ScyllaDB Monitoring: ShareChat's TipsScyllaDB
ScyllaDB monitoring provides a lot of useful information. But sometimes it’s not easy to find the root of the problem if something is wrong or even estimate the remaining capacity by the load on the cluster. This talk shares our team's practical tips on: 1) How to find the root of the problem by metrics if ScyllaDB is slow 2) How to interpret the load and plan capacity for the future 3) Compaction strategies and how to choose the right one 4) Important metrics which aren’t available in the default monitoring setup.
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.
LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

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.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
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?
In our second session, we shall learn all about the main features and fundamentals of UiPath Studio that enable us to use the building blocks for any automation project.

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

“Generation Z takes in
information instantaneously
and loses interest just as
fast.”
Hannah Payne, Lifestyle blogger
Gen Z shift through thousands of texts, Whatsapps and Facebook
messages a day. These digital darlings are walking, talking online
algorithms.
4. But just as our brains find patterns in numbers, they find patterns
through digital technology.
In fact they have honed these skills.
They can read digital body language.
They know how you feel from how you tap.
6. SUMMARY OF TALK
Using cognitive shortcuts and semiotics, teenagers have developed a new
generation of emotional intelligence, no longer about eyebrow raises or a slight
twitch of the mouth, emotion has become digital. They know how you feel by how
you tap.
In this interactive talk we discuss teens ability to read emotion through digital
behaviour, debate how this affects our real world relationships & learn how to
decipher digital body language ourselves.
7. Everyone who has stared at a screen for too long, second guessing the person on
the other side should come to this talk.
