4 things to understands about transparent displays outdoorDannyGreer1
Transparent displays come in two main types - LCD and OLED. LCD screens require backlighting and are best for outdoor use with sufficient light, while OLED screens emit their own light making them better for low-light settings. While OLED screens produce better image quality, they are more expensive and susceptible to damage from sunlight. The document also notes that transparent displays can be made more engaging by adding interactivity, and they remain an appealing visual technology despite being available for some time.

Polarized 3D glasses allow viewers to see 3D images by restricting the light that reaches each eye. They work by projecting two slightly different images that are polarized differently. The glasses contain polarized filters for each eye that allow only the corresponding image to pass through to the proper eye. This technique was developed in the 1930s and was widely used for 3D movies in the 1950s. It provides full color 3D images using inexpensive glasses but has limitations such as reduced resolution from sharing the screen between the two images.

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.
Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
Enterprise Knowledge’s Joe Hilger, COO, and Sara Nash, Principal Consultant, presented “Building a Semantic Layer of your Data Platform” at Data Summit Workshop on May 7th, 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
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.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.

This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
The New York Times- Cameras That Dazzle, and Dismay

Cameras That Dazzle, and Dismay
Stuart Goldenberg
By DAVID POGUE
Published: October 14, 2009
There are celebrations when a war ends, but sometimes confusion, too. The sense of
purpose, the unifying morale lift, maybe even the economic boost, are over.
That was certainly the case during the Great Megapixel Wars of 1996-2007. During these
years, the world’s camera companies fought doggedly for our hearts and minds, using
megapixel count as a weapon. “Ours takes 6 megapixel photos!” “Ours takes 8!” And we
marched to their orders, buying a new camera every other year just to keep up.
Now that that war has ended (the megapixel race has pretty much stopped at around 12)
the camera companies find themselves flailing for new sales points. Cameras these days
have more bells and whistles than a marching band: image stabilizers, superlong zooms,
hi-def video, waterproof cases, face recognition, smile detection, even blink detection.
This month, though, some kind of line has been crossed. Two new cameras from Nikon
and Samsung don’t just tinker with the camera formula, they rewrite it. One adds a
second screen; the other adds a built-in projector.
Actually, Samsung’s DualView TL225 and TL220 cameras introduce two radical
elements: a screen on the front and a gesture-and-tilt vocabulary for controlling the
thing. (The TL225, priced at $350, has a 3.5-inch back screen, brushed-metal body and
2. HDMI jack for a hi-def TV; the TL220, $300, has a 3-inch screen, plastic body and no
HDMI.) What draws the most attention, of course, is that 1.5-inch front screen.
When the screen is turned off, it’s invisible. It vanishes completely into the camera’s
smoky-dark case. When you turn it on (by tapping that empty spot with your finger),
however, it’s capable of performing several ingenious stunts.
Samsung’s TL225 has screens on both back and front.
The obvious one is framing self-portraits. On ordinary cameras, that’s a matter of
guesswork, or of handing the camera to passing strangers and praying they won’t just
run away with it. On the DualView, you can see precisely how the shot is framed, how
your expression looks and whether you’ve got spinach in your teeth.
Actually, why not use it even when you’re not taking self-portraits? Shouldn’t everyone
have some say in what your pictures of them look like?
When you dial up Kid mode — one of the camera’s 13 canned sets of scene settings — the
screen does something else clever: it displays a crude Japanese-style cartoon animation.
(The camera comes with a clown animation; 20 more are available as free downloads.)
It’s supposed to capture the attention of younger subjects, so that they face the camera.
It works like a charm (except in bright sunlight, where it’s nearly bleached out). Even
older children are captivated, if only by the presence of a video screen on a pocket
camera. Close-range photos sometimes reveal the telltale off-axis look of a child who was
looking at a spot beside the lens, not into it, but it beats calling out, “Tyler! Hey Tyler!
Look here! Hey Tyler!” for the 14th time.
3. The little front screen can also display a countdown in self-timer mode, current flash or
macro settings, or a smiley face when you press the shutter, to cue your subjects when
it’s time to pretend to be happy.
The question is: do self-portraits and child shots occur frequently enough to justify the
higher price of this camera? (Rival touch-screen cameras cost $50 to $100 less.)
Before you answer, there’s more invention in the DualView than just the second screen.
The huge, bright touch screen works really well, but what’s new is how you can control
this camera, quickly and precisely, by tipping it and drawing on its screen.
For example, you draw a big X on a photo to delete it. You draw a circle, clockwise or
counterclockwise, to rotate it. In playback mode, you advance to the next picture either
by flicking your finger across the screen, iPhone style, or by giving the camera a little
shake.
Cooler yet, you can switch modes — to movie mode and back, for example — by twitching
the camera up, down or left while pressing a button with your thumb. It takes a couple of
minutes to master, but it’s a genuine advance in the evolution of gadget controls, and
wow, is it cool.
Not so cool: in their “reinvent the camera” zeal, Samsung’s engineers adopted a
nonstandard way to charge the battery (inside the camera, so you can’t charge a spare
while using the camera), a nonstandard, proprietary computer transfer cable, and a
decidedly nonstandard memory-card format (MicroSD, more common on cellphones).
Whassamatter, Samsung — the SD cards used by every other camera company on earth
not good enough for ya? The other radical new camera is Nikon’s CoolPix S1000pj
($430). On most cameras, to show off your photos, you can pass around the tiny screen
or connect a TV cable. This one, if you can believe it, has a microprojector built right into
its forehead.
Last year, microprojectors wowed a lot of people. They’re little iPod-size pocketable
gadgets that connect to phones, laptops or iPods to project stills and videos on any
handy, light-colored flat surface.
Get ready for the dawn of embedded microprojectors in cellphones — and cameras, like
this one. When you’re in playback mode, a dedicated button on the top edge of the Nikon
turns on a gasp-inducing projected image, which can be as large as 40 inches diagonal,
depending on your distance from the wall, ceiling or T-shirt.
Now, you’re not exactly going to get complaints from the neighbors; this thing pumps
out only 10 lumens of light (compared with 2,000 lumens or more for conference-room
4. laptop projectors). The projected image is only 640 by 480 pixels. The battery lasts for
only an hour with the projector on.
But you know what? Absolutely nobody cares. The image brightness and clarity are
perfectly adequate — especially in a dark room, on a white surface, and when the camera
is fairly close.
Everyone who sees this stunt is captivated by the possibilities. Whenever you want to
show off the pictures or videos on your camera, there’s no need to transfer them to a
computer or hunt for the TV cable; just aim the camera, set it on its little stand if you
like, and maybe whip out the included remote control.
You can take pictures on a camping trip, far from computers or TV sets, and conduct on-
the-spot slide shows. Take pictures at a party and immediately show them off. Load up a
memory card with PowerPoint slides and carry your sales pitch in your pocket. It’s
fantastic.
This miracle comes at a price, though. An equivalent camera without the projector costs
about half as much. Furthermore, while the Nikon isn’t nearly as big as it appears in
photos (it’s roughly the same size as most pocket cameras), it is just as homely.
Both of these cameras represent huge high-tech leaps, for sure. Both have mighty zooms
(5X or 4.6X), smile and blink detection, superb close-up modes (0.6 inches away),
excellent facial recognition and so on.
Unfortunately, neither of them takes particularly good pictures. That could be
considered a drawback in a camera.
As in most CoolPix and Samsung pocket cams, these models have tiny sensors, so blur is
a problem in low light or when your subjects are moving. Shutter lag is a huge problem,
so sports photography is nearly out of the question. (On the Samsung, the shutter
sometimes doesn’t snap until a full second after you’ve pressed the button.) The
Samsung’s shots also fall consistently short of crisp sharpness.
Still, there are an awful lot of goodies to distract you from the photo quality. Let’s hope
that the wow-inducing ingenuity on display here makes its way, eventually, to cameras
that take wow-inducing photos.
