Quantum AI: Where Impossible Becomes Probable
Quantum AI: Where Impossible Becomes ProbableSaikat Basu Imagine combining the "brains" of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the "super muscles" of Quantum Computing. That's Quantum AI!
It's a new field that uses the mind-bending rules of quantum physics to make AI even more powerful.
WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automation
WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automationdigitaljignect In today’s dynamic digital landscape, ensuring the quality and dependability of web applications is essential. While Selenium has been a longstanding solution for automating browser tasks, the integration of WebdriverIO (WDIO) with Selenium and JavaScript marks a significant advancement in automation testing. WDIO enhances the testing process by offering a robust interface that improves test creation, execution, and management. This amalgamation capitalizes on the strengths of both tools, leveraging Selenium’s broad browser support and WDIO’s modern, efficient approach to test automation. As automation testing becomes increasingly vital for faster development cycles and superior software releases, WDIO emerges as a versatile framework, particularly potent when paired with JavaScript, making it a preferred choice for contemporary testing teams.

PyCon SG 25 - Firecracker Made Easy with Python.pdf
PyCon SG 25 - Firecracker Made Easy with Python.pdfMuhammad Yuga Nugraha Explore the ease of managing Firecracker microVM with the firecracker-python. In this session, I will introduce the basics of Firecracker microVM and demonstrate how this custom SDK facilitates microVM operations easily. We will delve into the design and development process behind the SDK, providing a behind-the-scenes look at its creation and features. While traditional Firecracker SDKs were primarily available in Go, this module brings a simplicity of Python to the table.
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdf
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdfAlyona Owens Hi, I’m Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as I’ve transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs… We’ll talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is “Fifth Element”. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and I’m impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldn’t be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we don’t know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didn’t steal jobs—they transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.
The Growing Value and Application of FME & GenAI
The Growing Value and Application of FME & GenAISafe Software With the cost of using Generative AI services dropping exponentially and the array of available models continually expanding, integrating AI into FME workflows has become inexpensive, accessible and effective. This presentation explores how GenAI within FME can cost-effectively transform data workflows by automating data extraction, validation, classification and augmentation tasks. We’ll discuss how FME’s no-code flexibility enables users to combine Generative AI and Computer Vision tools that create efficient workflows tailored to specific challenges. Using recent practical examples, we’ll demonstrate how these integrations can simplify complex tasks, save time and enhance data quality.

Analyzing .Net Application Memory Usage And Issues
- 1. Analyzing .NET Application Memory Usage and Issues Using Free and Commercial Profiling Tools Presented by Greg Sohl © 2006, Gregory M. Sohl
- 2. Memory Issues? Huh? .NET has Garbage Collection. I don’t have to worry about memory anymore! Users have lots of memory now. I don’t have to worry about using lots of memory anymore! Windows has virtual memory space. I don’t have to worry about using lots of memory anymore!
- 3. Common .NET Memory Issues Too much allocation Memory allocations are long lived Managed memory leaks – reference leaks Work “with” the Garbage Collector. It’s your friend - but only if you are nice to it.
- 4. Why Use a Profiling Tool? To understand how your allocations correspond with the assumptions made by the GC Track unintentional references to instances (leaks) Track references that are being held too long
- 5. 3 Allocation Profilers .NET Memory Profiler – SciTech Commercial – best of breed Ants Profiler – Red Gate Commercial – Useful, but light weight feature set CLR Profiler 2.0 – Microsoft Free – Powerful, but challenging to use Others listed in resources
- 6. Definitions Root – The base object holding references to other objects Examples: A static field, a local variable or a method parameter. Root Path - The path of referees from the selected instance to a root Garbage Collection – The process by which objects with no root (unreachable objects) are cleaned up from the heap.
