WS6a_FundingEnvironmentalPhilanthropy_Williams
The document discusses green grantmakers and the types of issues and approaches they tend to fund. It finds that while green grantmakers aim to be fast, flexible, and risk-taking, they tend to be clumpy and conservative in practice. They show a preference for funding "issue silos" over systemic approaches, and place-based conservation receives around 36% of funding while less goes to systemic drivers. There is also a preference for "on-the-ground" project work over funding aimed at systemic change. However, the document notes that more funders are starting to work on systemic approaches and issues like climate and sustainable consumption and production. It identifies five priorities for sustainable consumption and production grantmaking.

WS5a_Degrowth_Schneider
This document discusses the concept of degrowth, which refers to a voluntary reduction in production and consumption capacities to achieve environmental sustainability and social equity. It proposes that developed nations have an excessively high capacity for consumption and production, leading to issues like resource depletion, economic crisis, and the rebound effect. The degrowth approach seeks to lower overall consumption and production levels through strategies like frugal innovation, lifestyle changes, and policies that collectively limit growth. The degrowth movement originated in France and aims to shift away from an economy focused solely on growth towards a sustainably-sized economy that improves well-being.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
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.
