EP23 - Ask Developer Hangout - Week 23 - Object Oriented Design Patterns

Machine Learning is making a serious move into the field of software engineering. Project like GitHub Copilot have surpassed the gimmick phase and are proving to be more and more reliable. How is the field evolving and how will be writing software in the future? 

Bassem Dghaidi is a Senior Solution Architect at GitHub, where he helps enterprise customers deliver their engineering vision and strategy, optimize their software development life cycle and adopt industry best practices. Bassem comes from a software engineering background with over 15 years of experience during which he led the architecture and implementation of small and enterprise scale solutions in the car manufacturing, marketing, fintech, and the transportation and logistics industries across the Netherlands, USA, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Lebanon. Before moving to the Netherlands, he contributed to the design of Lebanon's leading software engineering boot camp, SE Factory, featured in The Guardian, TechCrunch, and Forbes.

1. Entrepreneurs and avoid the fear of failures
2. Infrastructure (internet, electricity, payments)
3. Education
4. Investments
5. Social connector (this is an important one - almost always ignored - Geekwire used to this in Seattle, etc..)
6. Exits. Hard to in our region with less M&A and IPOs but they will come with time.
7. Alumnis network of successful startups

المرة دي حندردش مع د وليد عمار عن الذكاء الصناعي و تأثيره على المجتمع, د وليد من خبراء الذكاء الصناعي و من اللي اشتغلوا في المجال سواء من أكثر من زاوية, سواء من زاوية الأكاديميا و البحث العلمي, أو من الناحية التطبيقية و العملية. 

- Did scientific innovation (eg, AI) improve our lives?
- How does early stage scientific innovation translate into economic progress?
- Can AI be used to build more advanced weapon?
- Who is in charge?

Waleed Ammar is the co-founder of a mission-driven AI startup and a product manager at the Allen Institute for Artificial intelligence (AI2). Before rejoining AI2 this year, Waleed was a senior research scientist at Google, where he helped develop transformer-based models for generating DNA sequences based on PacBio long-reads which significantly reduced variant-calling errors [Nature Biotech'22]. He also helped develop task-oriented dialog systems which are more robust to disfluencies, code-switching and user revisions [arXiv'23]. Prior to joining Google, Waleed led the Semantic Scholar research team's efforts to develop ML-based methods to facilitate access to the literature [e.g., NAACL 19], build a knowledge graph of the scientific literature [NAACL'18], and use this wealth of information to identify systemic social problems in science [JAMA'19]. He also occasionally teaches courses at UW linguistics as an affiliate faculty member. In 2016, Waleed received a Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon University. Before pursuing the Ph.D., Waleed was a research engineer at Microsoft Research and a web developer at eSpace Technologies. Outside work, Waleed spends most of his time on the water or in dancing studios.

○ Digital Signatures
   § Goal: verify Authenticity of a message.
   § Based on Asymmetric Cryptography.
   § Basic operations
    1. Public / Private keys generation (using some algorithm like RSA)
    2. Signing algorithm using the private key
    3. Signature verification algorithm using the corresponding public key
   i. Extending previous Example
    • Steps (Order is very important, bold stuff is the difference added to authenticate sender)
     ® Party 1 (Alice)
      1. Generates a random AES Session Key (32 bytes / 256 bits)
      2. Generates a random Initialization Vector (IV) (16 bytes / 128 bits)
      3. Encrypt the message to be sent using the AES Session Key & IV
      4. Calculate an HMAC of the encrypted message using the AES Session key
      5. Encrypt the AES Session Key using the Public Key of Party 2 (Bob) The recipient.
      6. Calculate Signature using the private signing key on the HMAC
      7. Sends a packet of (Encrypted Message, Encrypted Session Key, Initialization Vector, HMAC, and Signature) to Bob
     ® Party 2 (Bob)
      1. Decrypts Session key using his Private Key
      2. Recalculates the HMAC of the encrypted message (Validates message integrity)
       } If HMAC check pass
        – Verify digital signature using Alice Public Key
         w If signature verification pass
          w Decrypts the message using the decrypted AES Session Key and Initialization Vector
         w Otherwise, identity of the sender couldn't not be verified, reject message.
       } Otherwise, rejects the message because of integrity check failure.
    • Why Order matters?
     ® Timing Side-Channel Attacks
     ® Padding-Oracle Attack
     
  ○ Protocols
   § TLS/SSL
    • How TLS/SSL Works?
    • Mitigates against
     ® Man in the Middle Attacks
     ® Authentication, so the client can be sure it is talking to the correct destination.
   § Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
    • Certificates aka X.509 Certificate (Sha-1 Signature Issues)
     ® A digitally signed file
     ® Identifies (Computer / User / Device)
     ® Has Public & Private Key, only the certificate owner has the Private Key.
     ® Has Expiration date
     ® Information about the CA that issued the cert 
     ® X.509 Extension Attributes (like Usage attribute)
     ® Revocation Information.
    • Certificate Authority (CA) (CNNIC, WoSign)
     ® Issues, signs and manages certificates.
     ® Famous certificate authorities (Verisign, GoDaddy, … etc).
    • Trust Chains
     ® CA's can delegate the signing job to subordinate CA's
      ◊ Root CA's signs an intermediate signing certificate to the subordinate CA
     ® The subordinate CA can then issue certificates
     ® To validate a certificate, the client validates the signatures of all the intermediate stages and make sure all of them are linked to a Trusted CA
    • Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL's)
     ® When a certificate is compromised (Private Key leaked) it will be published on the CRL, so each time the cert is validated, the CRL list is checked in case cert is revoked.

• How the Television age reflected a scarcity of communication channels.
	• How the Internet created an abundance of communication channels.
	• Creators and audience choose platforms based on cost, ease of use and unified user experience, not because “that’s where everybody is”.
	• Once made a choice, users don’t switch to another similar platform even if it’s marginally better.
		• Vimeo vs YouTube. Google+ vs Facebook.
	• Control of personal data or openness isn’t a deciding factor for most users.
	• User data and attention is the main product for content distributors.
	• The software offered by content distributors is fairly simple.
		• Most of the engineering effort of these companies is going in scaling for a billion users and into mining the data provided by those users.
	• The main components of content distribution:
		• Producing content
		• Serving content
		• Consuming content
		• Rating
		• Comments and discussion
		• Reviewing
		• Discovery, subscription, and notification
		• Saving, bookmarking, and organizing

	• What defines ethical? -- * 
	• Failing and realizing why it happened.
	• Respect your own capabilities with consideration of (is it hard enough?)
	• What do you do at work?
	• You as a brand, what message do you want to deliver? "What you do is perceived as who you are"
	• Dare to disrupt your life, When nothing is happening for while it is important to look on what have you done for the next step, what you are doing and the next months is basically the present (it is planned and determined and probably the outcome of it is known)
	• The need to explore other areas to empower the current moment.
	• Are you ready to answer all questions in a meeting? 
	• Do you intentionally mislead people with subtle language/words?

	• Are you really as good/bad as you think you are?
	• Let's discuss "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." - Ernest Hemingway
	• Opinions and Facts, the critical need to distinguish both from each others.
	• Where/Who/What you are doesn't define you, Anything is subject to change and none should be defining your future.
	• Assuming (good intention)/(Positive attitude) when listening to people changes how people perceive you as ally or adversary
	• Why good language matters at work.
	• What is the difference between pushing the limits and (breaking the law / respecting others / etc)
	• Your values and what drives you.
