This document discusses intelligent lighting and its benefits. It notes that traditional street lighting wastes a significant amount of energy and emits high levels of carbon dioxide. A solution called intelligent or adaptive lighting is proposed. This system uses outdoor sensors and a wireless network to monitor lighting needs and only illuminates areas when motion is detected. This can reduce energy usage by up to 80% and lower maintenance costs. Examples of intelligent lighting installations in parking lots, residential areas, campuses and roadways are provided. The system enhances safety while reducing light pollution and costs. It may also serve as a foundation for broader smart city applications in the future.

Long ago in China, the Jade Emperor held a swimming race between 13 animals to determine the order of the zodiac. The cunning rat pushed the cat off the ox's back and won the race, with the ox finishing second. The other animals finished in this order: tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, boar, and the cat was last after being pushed into the water by the rat. This established the 12-animal Chinese zodiac that is still used today.

Vito Gamberale: Photovoltaics like PCs and mobile phonesVito Gamberale
The document discusses the evolution of photovoltaics in Italy over the past 5-6 years. It notes that installed photovoltaic power has grown exponentially both globally and nationally. Photovoltaics now accounts for over 35% of renewable energy installed in Italy, exceeding the country's 2020 EU target. This has reduced reliance on traditional energy sources and lowered energy prices. The document argues that photovoltaics are following a similar development path to mobile phones and PCs, enabling decentralized energy generation. As costs continue to decline, grid parity is being reached, which will further increase the number of small domestic installations.
The document discusses the potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy worldwide. It summarizes studies that project significant growth in PV installation and generation through 2050. One study estimates over 1 terawatt of cumulative installed PV capacity globally by 2050, with PV providing up to one-fourth of electricity production and one-sixth of total energy demand. The document also outlines the role of different regions in this projected growth, with developed markets like Europe and the US expected to lead initially before being surpassed by developing markets.

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.

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).

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
