The student created a website about Spiderman for a school assignment using Dreamweaver. The finished website included images and a navigation bar that the student designed themselves. The student discussed some technical difficulties encountered with removing grid lines in Dreamweaver. Feedback suggested adding more Spiderman-themed elements like buttons styled as webs. The student learned skills in website design and would improve the website further with a better color scheme, more images, and additional interactive elements if doing the project again.
The document discusses email design best practices. It notes that email code is constructed using HTML tables, which forces a rigid grid layout. Good email design embraces this nature by arranging content that can stack vertically on mobile. It also stresses that the purpose of emails is to drive customers to websites for purchases, so design should highlight products and links simply rather than replicating full site experiences. Modern, responsive email design considers stacking, font usage, images, and personalization across devices.

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).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
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.

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.

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.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

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.

1. Top 10 Graphic Design MistakesPart 4 By Marlon Sanders www.designdashboard.com
2. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #3: Using more than 4 colors on your site. Quick Fix #3: Plan out a new color scheme. Example: Use red for your headline(s), dark blue for your sub headline(s), yellow for highlighting, black text and a white background. Use red bold fonts here and there on your page for important things, like drawing attention to your guarantee or bonuses. Use light grey or the SAME yellow you used for the highlighting to add some focus to your tables. www.designdashboard.com
3. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #4: Using more than four different types of fonts on the same page. Quick Fix #4: Plan out a new font scheme. It’s good to use a nice bold font for your headline, such as Tahoma size 16 points or 24 pixels in BOLD. Then use Verdana size 10 points or 12 pixels for the body text. For sub headlines you can use Arial Bold, Size 14 points or 22 pixels. www.designdashboard.com
4. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #5: Displaying your sales “message” on a dark colored background! Quick Fix #5: If your sales letter is anything but black text on a white background then it’s too hard for anyone to read it. So keep it simple. Black text on a white page background. How to format the layout of your features and benefits without creating hard those messy and hard to control bulleted lists: www.designdashboard.com
5. 911: Quick Fixes... If you want to jazz it up a bit, dry putting a graphic bullet before each benefit or feature, like this: This is an example of using a graphical bullet. If you don’t have any graphical bullets then at least use this type. Just hold the ALT key down and type 0149 on your keyboard number pad to create them www.designdashboard.com
6. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #6: Using “annoying” javascript codes on a business site that do “neat” or “cool things” (I ended up listing this as one of the mistakes but didn’t get a chance to do a review of any site that was breaking this rule.) How to make sure you’re not driving your visitors to distraction: www.designdashboard.com
7. 911: Quick Fixes... What I’m talking about here are those annoying Javascript codes that people often add to their web pages just because they think it looks “cute” or “neat” or “just because they can”. www.designdashboard.com
8. 911: Quick Fixes... Example: The “CURSOR TRAIL EFFECT” Using one on a personal home page is fine. But this type of thing should never appear on a business site. Ever. The biggest problem I have with the cursor trail effect (and every other variation of this sript) is that the end user cannot choose to turn it off. www.designdashboard.com
9. 911: Quick Fixes... Last week I was on Ebay looking at an auction and the Ebay seller had one of these scripts following me around the page EVERYWHERE. It was so annoying to constantly see this swirly twirly thing following my every move around the page that I ended up leaving without even bidding. www.designdashboard.com
10. 911: Quick Fixes... Quick Fix #6: First, take a look at your web page in Internet Explorer and ask yourself, is there anything on my web site that could potentially annoy someone? • Is there looping background music with NO way to turn it off? Or looping music at all? • Are you using ANY variation of the cursor trail effect,or any script that serves absolutely no purpose? www.designdashboard.com
11. 911: Quick Fixes... If so, right click on your page to VIEW the SOURCE CODE and immediately strip the javascript off the page. Also check the <body> tag for extra code like “onload” tags and remove any that are relevant to the scripts you’ve just removed. www.designdashboard.com
12. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #7: Cramming way too much content into too small of a space. (Not enough white space.) Quick Fix #7: If you’ve got a lot of content to display on one web page think about creating a “portal” design, similar to the way CNN lays out their content. www.designdashboard.com
13. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #7: Cramming way too much content into too small of a space. (Not enough white space.) Quick Fix #7: If you’ve got a lot of content to display on one web page think about creating a “portal” design, similar to the way CNN lays out their content. www.designdashboard.com
14. 911: Quick Fixes... That way you can separate the contents and still have an adequate amount of white space on the page. If you go to www.milcers.com/articles you’ll see how I’ve taken more than 20 different articles and photos and organized them into a page that’s easy to read, nicely laid out and contains plenty of white space. How to balance out heavy graphics or text box content so you don’t end up with the teeter-totter effect: www.designdashboard.com
15. 911: Quick Fixes... The screen capture on the next page shows you how you can organize content for large sites into different text boxes. Of course that example uses plain old text boxes, but you can use any sort of graphic design you want. As long as your content boxes aren’t too close together you can get away with putting a LOT of content into a small area. www.designdashboard.com
16. 911: Quick Fixes... The one thing you want to be careful about is how the page looks after you’re done. If you don’t plan out the page in advance you can end up with a lopsided page effect. (See the screen capture on the previous page for evidence of this.) This PARTIAL screen capture shows you the Milcers Article page that I set up with over 20 different “content boxes” on one page. It’s got a non cluttered look. www.designdashboard.com
17. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #8: Using “busy” or “watermarked” background patterns. Why you never want to use a patterned background behind your sales letter text and why it’s not okay to use heavily watermarked images on your page. While there’s nothing really wrong with a NICELY watermarked background image, I too often see ones that don’t tile correctly, are too visible or have images that are just too large. www.designdashboard.com
18. 911: Quick Fixes... Here’s an example of a page with a pretty decent watermark on it. www.designdashboard.com
19. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #9: Specifying fonts that are TOO SMALL or too light in color to easily read! There’s nothing more frustrating than visiting a web site (or blog) and not being able to read the information there because the fonts are too small. Here’s an example of the DEFAULT view of the average web page fonts, set to a decent size that pretty much anyone can read: www.designdashboard.com
20. 911: Quick Fixes... Now take a look at this screen capture. It shows the font size using the same DEFAULT view, only they’ve specified a font that’s simply too small so even the default view doesn’t work. Everytime I want to read that page (it’s actually a blogso I read it daily) I have to go to the top of my browser, click VIEW > TEXT SIZE > MEDIUM www.designdashboard.com
21. 911: Quick Fixes... Quick Fix #9: If you’ve used a font color that’s too light OR a font size that’s too small and you need to replace it, here’s a quick trick to getting it done: Step #1: Open up Dreamweaver. Step #2: Open your web page. Step #3: At the top of the program click on EDIT. Step #4: Then choose FIND/REPLACE. Step #5: In the “find” section, choose SOURCE CODE. www.designdashboard.com
22. 911: Quick Fixes... Step #6: Now enter in the RGB code for the font color you’ve used (the one you want to change) then enter in the RGB color you want to change it to. Step #7: Then enter the font color you want to use from here on. Click the submit button to do a GLOBAL find/replace on the font color that’s too light. www.designdashboard.com
23. 911: Quick Fixes... Dreamweaver will find all instances of that color used on your page and will swap one code for another. Then just save the page and it’ll automatically update all the font colors. You can do the same thing with the SIZE of your fonts. If you’re using actual font sizes, not CSS, then you’ll end up with font tags that look like this: <font face=”Verdana, Tahoma, Arial” Size=”-2”> www.designdashboard.com
24. 911: Quick Fixes... Size “-2” is too small, so you need to do a global find/replace on that and change it to size “-1”. Just follow the steps above, but change the text to: <font face=”Verdana, Tahoma, Arial” Size=”-1”> The program will automatically change all the font sizes for the body text. www.designdashboard.com
25. 911: Quick Fixes... If you’re wondering why you don’t just highlight all the text on your page and change it that way, the problem with that is, you’ll end up changing the font size for everything on the page. Including headlines and subheadlines which are usually different sizes than your body text. To change only one specific tag from one size to the next it’s easiest to do a global FIND/REPLACE. www.designdashboard.com
26. 911: Quick Fixes... Did you know you can make these types of changes on MULTIPLE documents at once in Dreamweaver? If your website has 200 pages and all of them need to be changed, you don’t do 1 at a time. When you’re setting up the FIND/REPLACE options you tell the software to look at ALL pages in a predefined folder, versus the active page that’s open. www.designdashboard.com
27. 911: Quick Fixes... Here’s what the settings look like: Essentially what you’re going to be doing is telling the software not to edit just one page. You choose FIND IN: FOLDER and it’ll make the changes to ALL the pages in the folder at one time. CAUTION: When you make global changes like this, be careful. Unless the document is active and open in Dreamweaver, you won’t be able to “undo” the changes you’ve made. www.designdashboard.com
28. 911: Quick Fixes... Mistake #10: Not clearly identifying what it is you’re selling from your web site! How to “double check” your web page headline to make sure it passes the test -- or run the risk of your visitors passing right by it... sight unseen: This is a problem I’ve seen on a few websites. You land on the web page, browse around for awhile and just can’t figure out what the site’s all about. www.designdashboard.com
29. 911: Quick Fixes... If the visitor has to struggle to figure out what you’re selling then your HEADLINE isn’t doing it’s job. The best thing you can do is CLEARLY IDENTIFY your offer by including it in the HEADLINE. Example: http://www.pushbuttonletters.com “Just fill in the blanks, click a button and out pops a killer sales letter!” www.designdashboard.com
30. 911: Quick Fixes... Example: http://www.gimmesecrets.com “How to create products fast and roll them out successfully via simple 2-page web sites practically anyone can create.” Quick Fix #10: Write down exactly what your product is, or does in 10 words or less. Then incorporate that into the headline on your page. www.designdashboard.com
31. 911: Quick Fixes... Read the headline back to yourself, or ask someone to read it for you (try an online forum so you can ask someone you’ve never met before what their honest opinion is) and then get them to tell you what they think you’re selling. I know it sounds extremely simple, but it’s often the simple stuff that trips you up. www.designdashboard.com
32. 911: Quick Fixes... For example: Let’s say you sell back up hard drives that people use to store data. They use them in case of emergencies or system crashes. Or they use them to transfer their files from one computer to another. All their critical data is held on the back up hard drive. Here’s the sample headline to illustrate the problem with NOT clearly identifying your offer: www.designdashboard.com
33. 911: Quick Fixes... “At XYZ Computers we’ll make sure you never lose another file” So read that headline and you’d think... what? Would you actually know the company is selling back up hard drives? Of course not. What it sounds like to me is that they’re selling a software program like Google’s Desktop search, that you can use to find any file on your computer in just a few seconds. Or some other organizational software program. www.designdashboard.com
34. 911: Quick Fixes... So run your headline past a few people that don’t know you or your company and ask them to give YOU feedback on exactly what they think you’re selling. One last thing: If your headline contains the words “Welcome To....” then you need to change it immediately. You can welcome your visitors elsewhere on the page. Or in your “about us” page contents. www.designdashboard.com
35. 911: Quick Fixes... The first thing on your page MUST be a headline. And it must be one that clearly identifies what you do, or what you sell. If you’re in a pinch, use what I call a “How To” headline. The formula for writing a “how to” headline is simple: How to get X benefit or How to avoid X problem www.designdashboard.com
36. 911: Quick Fixes... Make certain your benefit statement is specific. For example: “How to save money on your phone bill every single week.” But go one step further than that whenever possible, because just saying “how to save money on your phone bill” isn’t as powerful as something like this: www.designdashboard.com
37. 911: Quick Fixes... Make certain your benefit statement is specific. For example: “How to save money on your phone bill every single week.” But go one step further than that whenever possible, because just saying “how to save money on your phone bill” isn’t as powerful as something like this: “How to save $39 a week on your phone bill just by dialing a few extra digits.” www.designdashboard.com
