The document compares the topographical differences between Melbourne and other cities that influenced their historical rail development. Melbourne's hilly terrain encouraged the early adoption of trams, diverging from other cities. It hopes that by understanding these historical factors, Melbourne can re-inspire growth of its heavy rail network to better meet changing expectations by 2050.

Wye Fire Disruption
Extreme heat and dry lightning on December 19th caused two fires near Jamieson Track bush camp, requiring evacuations. Despite hopes of containment, strong winds pushed one fire south on December 25th, forcing evacuations of Cumbo River and Lorne. After a week, hot conditions without further spread allowed returns to Kennett River and Cumbo River by January 1st. However, fire damage remained with tracks still closed and land management crews working in the area over two weeks later.

What Does Water Know?
Slide deck for the third of ongoing series of presentations looking at water's planet-shaping role and barriers to its recognition within knowledge systems submerged in human language.
What do Words Know?
The document discusses several hypotheses that were initially dismissed but later gained acceptance:
- Plate tectonics was proposed in the early 20th century but not widely accepted until more evidence was discovered 50 years later, showing continents could move.
- The existence of an aether to transmit light was proposed by Newton and used in Maxwell's equations, but failed to be detected in experiments. Einstein's theory of relativity explained light without an aether.
- Lamarck's idea of acquired traits being inherited, accepted for millennia, was dismissed due to experiments failing to prove it. However, epigenetics shows environmentally induced reversible heritable traits without DNA change, partially validating Lamarck.

Hydro-powered Geomorphology
- The document summarizes lessons learned from a major flood that occurred along the Cumberland River in early January 2021, mobilizing large rocks and depositing them in intertidal waters while trapping silt and gradually turning wetlands into dry land.
- It discusses the failure of delayed rainfall observations to trigger emergency warnings, and the broad catchment and narrow gorge creating a delay between rainfall and peak flooding.
- The self-organization and mutual assistance of the camp/visitor community during the middle of the night flood is also summarized, as well as the lack of contextual awareness from responding police and SES volunteers initially.
Working with the System
Images (pics, maps and covers) drawn from Kororoit Institute submission to parliamentary inquiry into Ecosystems Decline in Victoria, with minimal commentary aside from section headings and recommendations, providing context for discussion of where we take this from here, both the global task of insisting on the urgent need for humans to work with rather than against until now dangerously suppressed ecosystems, and the local task of working with structures of our colonial political economy to ensure the tide is well and truly turning.

Includes pictures from recent visits to Stony Creek toxic fire site and Mud Island.
Infrastructure Growing Pains
Reflections on Kororoit Institute’s and friends’ planning interventions in light of Supervenience project and where to from here, presented at Melbourne Emergence Meetup 14 November 2019.
Contains main text and images of a submission to the Australian Infrastructure Audit 2019, save for the Supervenience Project principles which are developed in other presentations and with the introductory background of that submission expanded into a longer account of the history of Kororoit Institute's interest in infrastructure. That history also draws on text of submission to VEAC re Coastal Reserves to provide a shortish explanation of the Nepean Bay Bar proposal.
Slaughtering Sacred Cows
Many people are aware of something of particular interest to them which conventional wisdom gets badly wrong but assume that one thing is all that really needs to be fixed while the status quo is otherwise fine. Once you escape your silo and start seriously looking around, it becomes obvious that most things you take for granted are pretty much stuffed too. This presentation to CVAF highlights a few of them and argues that adversary systems are no longer fit for purpose.
Informed Dissent
Presentation to Melbourne Emergence Meetup 12 September 2019 providing further context for Supervenience Project, interleaving four decades of awareness development with one of local activism and digital photography. Doesn't quite achieve declared aims of bridging Too Funny for Words with Accepting Cosmological Responsibility, but useful starting point nonetheless.
Slide 9 is a montage of frames from two minute video of the first of Josie Taylor's two reports cited on Slide 8, as a placeholder for the actual video.
Self-organised Criticality
The document summarizes Tony Smith's presentation on self-organized criticality. Some key points:
- Self-organized criticality describes how dissipative systems with extended degrees of freedom can evolve toward a minimally stable critical state through small, frequent disturbances that follow a power law distribution.
- Bak et al's 1987 paper that introduced this concept has been shown to be relevant to many natural phenomena like sandpiles, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. that maintain a critical balance.
- Smith's presentation applied self-organized criticality to better understand everyday human behaviors and systems, examining universals, animals, civilization, and modernity in terms of approaching critical thresholds.
- Reaching critical states

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
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.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

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.Recently uploaded (20)
