Social Media in Small Business is Anything But SmallMark Schmulen
For entrepreneurs, business owners, investors, and consultants, one of the most exciting prospects of social media, lies in the ability to dramatically amplify your visibility and value proposition among existing and potential stakeholders. Social Media finally places small, local and emerging businesses in the spotlight in ways that up until this point, were largely unattainable. Social media marketing works for both big and small organizations. Attendees at this event will learn from Brian Solis how small business social media trends differ from those of large corporations and how they can drive positive results even without the human capital and resources only available to large corporations.
Likeable U: Social Media Is Not Marketing by Dan KimLikeable Media
Social media is driven by consumers and their social interactions, not by brands or marketing. It should not be seen as just another marketing channel but rather as a new social paradigm. Brands can participate by authentically contributing useful content like photographs to create meaningful social activity, which can then help drive related marketing initiatives.
Ashish Bahl is a serial entrepreneur who has founded several successful payment companies. He currently serves as CEO of Acculynk, which provides PIN debit payments on the internet, and Twitpay, the largest payment service built on Twitter. Some key lessons he has learned include sticking to areas you have expertise in like payments, having an analytic screen for opportunities, balancing the desire for perfect technology with time to market, finding strategic partners, clearly defining an economic model, financing creatively, being decisive while managing change, and focusing on efficiency.
Twitpay is a social payments platform that allows users to make donations on social networks like Twitter and Facebook through engaging actions like retweeting or sharing. The process is simple - a nonprofit tweets a call for donations, a user retweets it, and Twitpay sends a confirmation message. If the user replies "yes", the donation is complete. This approach leverages the viral nature of social sharing to exponentially increase fundraising. Twitpay also offers benefits over SMS giving like no intermediaries, no setup fees, daily payouts to nonprofits, and engagement through sharing. It aims to expand into social gaming payments by allowing users to tweet a payment confirmation to receive virtual goods in a game.

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.
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...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.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
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.

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.

Twitpay: Social Commerce and Giving
1. Personal Learning Project

4. Company History
• Started in 2009, Twitpay
focused on a person-to-
person payment process
over Twitter
• In 2010, a group of investors
came together to change
Twitpay’s strategy, adding
two services:
1. Extend capabilities to non-
profits (for social donations)
2. Introduce social commerce
Social Commerce: allowing someone to make a purchase by
accepting an offer all within the social media environment.
5. Vehicles
Twitpay is advanced and
expanding in several areas
including virtual gift cards,
Facebook, live print using
QR codes, and more
For this presentation, the
focus will be on Twitpay’s
currently most used
platform, Twitter

system to create a campaign
(a collection of tweets and
offers)

9. User Process
1. A Twitter user sees a tweet by a hosting
organization or company (a Twitpay client)
2. The user retweets (RT) that message to share it
with their followers and to start the financial
transaction
3. The user receives a direct Twitter message of
one of the two kinds
a. If the user already has a Twitpay account, the
message is a confirmation request to transfer the
predetermined dollar amount
b. If the user does not have a Twitpay account, the
message will direct the user to set up an account,
then follow through with the transaction
11. User is directed to
register for a Twitpay
account if an account
does not yet exist
12. User Account
• With a Twitpay account,
you can
– View your participation
(track your transactions)
– Continue future Twitpay
transactions in two easy
steps
13. Featured Partner: Citizen Effect

20. My Judgment - Innovative
Twitpay is an exciting and innovative way to promote
and fundraise for non-profits.
Twitpay is not trying to replace traditional fundraising
or marketing, but is simply adding another cost-
effective vehicle to be used.
The people behind Twitpay are continually
brainstorming and preparing for advancement; they
know they haven’t got it perfect yet, but they aren’t
afraid to keep trying.
21. My Judgment – Dilemma
Twitpay has one, main dillemma which is obvious to all
parties involved: user follow-through. Those who are
retweeting offers are simply not completing the sign-up
process.
As Dan Morrison of Citizen Effect and I discussed, the
Twitter environment is inherently fast-paced. Users are not
in the frame of mind to slow their speed in order to leave
the Twitter page and complete the registration process
(even though the Twitpay registration process took me
about 70 seconds).
Currently, there are a limited number of Twitpay account
holders; without that mass of prepared users, there is an
absolute necessity for registration follow through.
22. My Judgment – Human Touch
Also, Twitpay lacks what many non-profits focus on,
which is physical or human touch.
Many philanthropists are attached to the physical
presence of a fundraiser, and some may miss that
interactivity while donating through Twitter.
In efforts to help remedy this problem, Twitpay has
recently developed a more branded registration process
to remind users who they are helping through their RT
donation process.
23. Future Implications
According to John Beisner, Twitpay wants to
become more of a destination for social media
users, that is, a place where users will come
looking for deals and charitable giving
opportunities.
Twitpay will also be on Facebook soon, and
Twitpay plans to expand wherever the social media
market leads them.
Personally, I can see a great future for Twitpay in
the music industry. Imagine hearing a song on the
radio and having the capability to buy the mp3
from the radio station’s #nowplaying tweets!
