Barcelona-based Scaled Robotics built a Wall-E doppelgänger to navigate around and build maps of construction sites by fusing images, video, and data captured by its robots.
Intro to Machine Learning (ML Zero to Hero, part 1)
Machine Learning represents a new paradigm in programming, where instead of programming explicit rules in a language such as Java or C++, you build a system which is trained on data to infer the rules itself. But what does ML actually look like? In part one of Machine Learning Zero to Hero, AI Advocate Laurence Moroney walks through a basic “Hello World” example of building an ML model, introducing ideas which we’ll apply in later episodes to a more interesting problem: computer vision.
Data Governance in Artificial Intelligence in 2019
How data Governance can help your AI transformation? What is the purpose of data governance in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence? In this video, we will describe and give you examples why data governance is critical to the success of your business, organization, and government.
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh explains holacracy and why it works for Zappos
Hsieh explains that the ultimate goal of holacracy is for employees to find that intersection between their passion and what they are really good at and what’s going to move the company forward.
An Introduction to The Interplanetary File System
HTTP has served us well, but its time to upgrade the way the Internet works. IPFS provides a solution for the ills of HTTP. It content addresses data instead of location addressing it, and provides more bandwidth, better latency, and more resiliency. We’ll build a simple video streaming web app using IPFS!
Liquid Democracy: Cardano Approach to Sustainability
Charles Hoskinson of IOHK discusses creating a sustainable model for Cardano using a modified liquid democracy.
Liquid Democracy in 60 Seconds
Vote on real legislation. Or delegate your vote to anyone you trust.
Consensus on blockchain: Establishing validity and truth (Non-technical)
How does blockchain consensus help to establish truth and validity? What is a consensus mechanism? What is forking a blockchain? What is the difference between “valid and true”? What are the limits to blockchain as a “truth machine”? What are the trade-offs between truth and the cost of verification? This video explores some of the issues relating to blockchain consensus and validity by using an analogy to a collectively owned message board. It includes discussion of the way that smart contracts might build in financial incentives for validation.
What is Holacracy?
Can your company remain agile and adaptive – even as it scales? Holacracy offers a radical new answer to this question, in the form of a tested and customizable self-management practice. With a Holacracy practice in place, every team member gains the ability to make meaningful decisions and drive change. The approach will allow your team to clarify agreements, set clear expectations, increase transparency and will fundamentally rewire your organization’s approach to power.
IPFS: Interplanetary file storage
InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system.
Similar to a torrent, IPFS allows users to not only receive but host content. As opposed to a centrally located server IPFS is built around a decentralized system of user-operators who hold a portion of the overall data, creating a resilient system of file storage and sharing.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high-throughput, [failed verification] content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks.
