How Parkland Disrupted the Media Cycle Around Gun ControlQuid Inc.
The volume of news coverage around mass shootings tends to follow a predictable pattern: discussions of gun control surge after an attack and then quickly recede back to a minimal level. A SXSW 2019 panel with Data analytics firm Quid partnered and The Trace, a news organization dedicated to coverage of guns in the United States, will discuss how Parkland was different.
Speculation about the Apple Car has kicked into high gear. The amount of news chatter, hiring trends, and investments would take someone years to read. To sift through the noise we used Quid to identify what patterns are important. Read our analysis and then make your way over to MacWorld for further coverage.
Using the Quid Intelligence Platform, we ran a network of all Apple Inc.’s patent filings related to the new Apple Watch. What we found were 170 unique inventions that went in to this product, and 11 distinct clusters of innovation.
Apple launched with many key patents yet to be granted, especially ones in the display and media area. As of October 2014, 48% of patents have yet to be granted, and 52% of patents are in the application process.
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!

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
