Generally AI Episode 3: The Founders of CS and AI

Ep. 0 - Richard Yue: How to Enter the World of CS

In episode 0, our host introduces himself and explains how and why this podcast was born. The CS Express podcast is for anyone who is currently transitioning or thinking about transitioning into a career in tech, regardless of background. As discussed in the episode, this podcast will introduce listeners to what they can expect -- both rewarding and challenging -- while transitioning into tech, with a special emphasis on Silicon Valley.

CS Express - Richard Yue - Episode 0: How to Enter the World of Computer Science

As fresh algorithms and new analytical methods emerge, existing datasets can uncover insights beyond their original purpose. Regardless of their intended use, data often possess hidden potentials and always have a “secret life”. “How this data will be used, by other people in other times and places, has profound implications for every aspect of our lives—from our intimate relationships to our professional lives to our political systems”, argue Professor Aram Sinnreich and Jesse Gilbert in their new book “The Secret Life of Data: Navigating Hype and Uncertainty in the Age of Algorithmic Surveillance”. This phenomenon raises various moral, ethical, and legal questions: Should we use datasets for unexpected and unforeseen insights? Should we create new frameworks to control and regulate using datasets for purposes beyond their original intent? Ignoring opportunities to analyse data in new ways might limit their potential, but pursuing them introduces ethical dilemmas. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Professor Aram Sinnreich and Jesse Gilbert.  

Aram Sinnreich is an author, professor, and musician. He is Chair of Communication Studies at American University. Jesse Gilbert is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the intersection of visual art, sound, and software design at his firm Dark Matter Media. He was the founding Chair of the Media Technology department at Woodbury University.

I begin the conversation by setting the stage for our listeners and delving into the idea of the "secret life of data" as discussed in the book. We then delve deeper into the nature and scale of the challenge posed by this phenomenon. One key point highlighted in the book is that the challenge is primarily conceptual—we're uncertain about what exactly we're aiming to control, handle, and regulate. We thoroughly explore this aspect.

To address this "conceptual challenge," the book provides a comprehensive overview of various frameworks and approaches that have been developed and are currently utilised to tackle similar challenges. The book then extends these concepts to envision and propose a framework that could aid us in addressing this particular challenge. We discuss in detail a number of existing frameworks outlined in the book, and then explore the possibilities to address these emerging challenges.  Overall, this conversation has been immensely interesting and enlightening.

In today's episode, Marika Reinius and Maria Delgado Ortet talk about the multidisciplinary 3D mould guided radiogenomics project in ovarian cancer. They highlight how the process works and why it is potentially game changing in the treatment of a cancer where the standard of care has not really changed in over 20 years.

Marika is a clinical research fellow at the CRUK Cambridge Centre, University of Cambridge, UK.

Maria is a PhD Student in the Department of Radiology and the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK.

Yolek's Systems EP is out! A 2-tracks highly toxic weapon. pre-order now on bandcamp:
brainwavescrew.bandcamp.com/album/systems

A powerful attack on the producer's famous “low-kicks”, Alice Soundsystem continues in full force: with an electro-downtempo rhythm and a cliff-hanger arpeggio, the track develops a tension worthy of the most difficult investigations to solve. The obscure dance continues amidst interspersed vocals and oscillators, as Yolek's machines unleash their full potential to solve this case.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of proxies in software architecture, focusing on their roles, functionalities, and practical applications. It begins by defining what a proxy is and explaining its importance in modern network communication, highlighting how proxies enhance security, provide anonymity, and improve performance.

The course distinguishes between forward and reverse proxies. Forward proxies act as intermediaries for clients, managing requests and enforcing security policies, while reverse proxies serve backend servers, optimizing traffic management and load balancing. Real-world examples illustrate how organizations use forward proxies to monitor internet usage and protect sensitive data, and how high-traffic websites employ reverse proxies to maintain performance during peak times.

Participants will engage in hands-on activities to set up both types of proxies, reinforcing their understanding of the concepts. The course concludes by emphasizing the significance of proxies in enhancing network efficiency and security, encouraging learners to apply this knowledge in practical scenarios.

10 [Interview] One Voice in CS - Dr. Tiffani Williams Part 2

Как даже после самой темной ночи наступает рассвет, — так и после двухнедельной паузы следует новый выпуск, да еще какой: с сокровенными — и иногда откровенными — историями!
⠀
В задушевной и душещипательной беседе вспоминаем свои хроники от самых пеленок и до поступления в университет (хотелось обсудить так многое, что решили разделить знакомство на два эпизода).
⠀
Успели обсудить Pepsi по-татарски; Двое из Ларца, или как мы переезжали в Петербург; книжных червей, детские травмы и тигров в клетке; беспощадные англицизмы в богатстве родной речи; основы эффективного партнерства со школьной скамьи; Булгакова как стиль жизни; pet peeves в рубрике “разговорный английский без мам, пап и регистрации”; и еще многое-многое, — список получился внушительный!

Однажды на тимбилдинге познакомились HR и разработчик...
И вот мы здесь! На связи — самый нежный рекрутер Дилара и самый болтливый бэкендер Настя.
В этом подкасте мы ненасильственно пересекли два параллельных мира, — которые, как нам кажется, сейчас соприкасаются слишком по-Лобачевскому: вскользь и на отдалении.
Страх и настороженность в LinkedIn, мифы разработчиков о рекрутерах и наоборот, фантастические офферы и где они обитают — рассекретим все!
