Here is a list of event, includes speaker session and other intermediate slots (e.g. lunch):
Ka-Cheong, the Director of Internet Society Hong Kong and an open-source contributor to AT Protocol and Farcaster, leads a discussion on the future of a decentralized social internet. Explore how these emerging protocols could replace traditional, capitalistic social networks like Twitter, and delve into the possibilities, challenges, and implications of such a transformation.
Key Topics:
AWS AI Assistant is a serverless applications and integrates most of the AWS AI/ML services and Open AI.
The most popular tech news in 2023 is the raise of generative AI with Large language models. With those powerful pre-built model or AI API, we can build a very powerful virtual assistant with the combination and integration of all AWS AI/ML services with OpenAI API or Hugging Face pre-trained model. For my use case, I hope my students learn and use AI but I do want to have certain control and monitoring. So, we want to make it fun and powerful for my students.
I want to talk about some interesting cases and tips that I met when using Postgres in my daily job, which are topics general enough that most developer may also meet in their daily jobs (even for non-Postgres developers).
There are many different kinds of programming paradigm such as high-level coding and low-level coding. Verilog is another kind of paradigm, this talk will bring an introduction how coding in Verilog looks like and help audiences to jump start on it.
(廣東話) Programming 有幾種係人都feel到唔同嘅大，例如high level programming就同low level programming好唔同。而Verilog又係另一種好唔同嘅編程範式，希望係呢個talk為大家介紹同埋幫大家極速起手。
(書面語) Programming有兩大範式 : 高級語言(python/java)和底級語言(assembly), 而verilog是有別於以上兩大類的另一編程範式, 希望係此演講為大家介紹和令大家起步編寫verilog。
In HKOSCon 2022, we discussed how Home Assistant could help to bridge the gaps between smart home products from different camps with local control in mind. We touch-based on the emerging yet promising Matter standard that hoped to resolve a lot of the interpretability challenges of different smart home ecosystems. One year on, products that comply with the Matter standard start to appear, and Home Assistant has also evolved to provide better support for Matter products.
This project demonstrates that multiple robots can collaborate to explore an unknown environment without GPS to generate a map with reasonable accuracy. This addresses exploration as a problem in the planning layer of the robotics domain. A frontier-based exploration methodology will be explained. The main approach uses Rapidly-expanding Random Trees for frontier detection, and map merging for information sharing. The developed algorithm also makes use of existing solutions for SLAM, and path planning. The algorithm runs in a network of robots, and a master machine on ROS.
Unikernels are specialized operating system images that execute a single application. Through extreme specialization they can provide high performance, small memory footprints, fast boot times, and a reduced attack vector.
This talk will provide an overview of Unikraft (https://unikraft.org), a Linux Foundation project that provides a toolikit for creating highly specialized unikernels by combining a set of micro-libraries to tailor down the operating system strictly to the needs of the executing application.
Many aspiring businesses in various industries need to make use of software as they grow. Open source software development workflows generally allows businesses to keep costs low, are scalable and are also proven to work across different locations, cultures and timezones. In this talk, Gary aims to share the importance of having a good software coding foundation for your business, especially if the business is not purely software-focused. He will share essential parts of a coding foundation that even the tech giants use, thus you can be rest assured of their proven scalability.
Semantic Kernel (SK), available on GitHub as an open-source framework, is a lightweight SDK that lets you mix conventional programming languages, like C# and Python, with the latest in Large Language Model (LLM) AI "prompts" with prompt templating, chaining, and planning capabilities. SK is accompanied by example apps and notebooks that illustrate how to get going quickly with LLM AI. Join us for an overview of this exciting new release from Microsoft, explore its core functionalities, and find out how to get started and working with Azure OpenAI.
This session will show you the features from an Ultimate acceleration InnoDB sub-engine - Heatwave, and how it works with Grafana aggregates hundreds millions of rows in seconds to create a real time dashboard, this session also show you how to show the details of how MySQL handles these queries on Grafana
