My name is Clay Johnson, and I'm the Director of Sunlight Labs at the Sunlight Foundation. We're a non-partisan not-for-profit organization that, through the use of open data and the web, helps people to better see what's happening in their government. Since we're just through with a delicious [lunch], I thought I'd start off talking about something I love and adore. And that's food. How many of you have read this [book]? Right, so in the book, Pollan goes through and talks about where food comes from and how it gets produced. Basically it goes something like [this]: We consume food in order survive. We're taught that when we're children, we need food, shelter and water as our "basic neccessities." That food, these days, mostly comes from [corn]. Lots of corn. And we take that corn and we make lots of things out of it, and feed it to all kinds of [animals]. My favorite thing to turn corn into is [Cows]. We take corn and feed it to cows so that we can turn the cows into delicious [steaks] which we then place on our lovely dinner tables for the whole family to enjoy. Presto, corn makes it onto our dinner table-- though it doesn't look like or taste anything like corn. And finally, after eating the steaks, a [zombie outbreak] happens, and humans get fed to our new zombie overlords. But the basics of this are-- there's a chain of consumption that we call the [food chain]. And the further away from the bottom of that food chain we get, the less energy there is. This is called the "trophic pyramid" and it's estimated that with every step in the trophic pyramid, there's a 90% loss of [energy]. We also produce food. A heck of a lot of it, in order to sustain our civilization's massive population. Thanks to the work of guys like Louis [Pasteur], who made it so milk and wine stopped killing people, as well as some other folks who finally figured out what plants needed in order to grow in a limited amount of real-estate, we were able to [industrialize agriculture]. We were able to make giant factories and leverage massive economies of scale in order to produce tons of food. And now we live in a world where giant [megacorporations] produce a most of the world's food supply. And the geniuses there come up with stuff like [this]-- a new twist on snacking. Note that nowhere in this advertisement does it say what this food is actually made out of. But they are Dippin Twists, good for any time. [Recently], this situation has gotten a little out of hand. In 1985, here's what Obesity looked like in the United States. In [1990], our country started to expand, in [1995] we continued to grow in diameter, [5 years later] things got more significant, and [just two years ago], it seemed that America's diet habit was giving new meaning to manifest destiny. All of this is, [Pollan] postulates, because it is so easy to acquire calorie dense junk food that's slowly making us fat. But I'm not [Michael Pollan], I'm Clay Johnson. My point isn't to come here to talk to you about how we're all getting fat. This is the politics of open source conference, and I want to talk to you about a different but similar epidemic. See-- [information], like food, is something we consume to stay alive. And while the biologists may disagree with me, I think it is now one of humankind's basic necessities. It's the development of language that allowed us to migrate beyond africa, and the development of the written word that helped us make functional governments, and the destruction of the Library at Alexandria that plunged us into the dark ages. Like food, information has a consumption chain, too. Let's take [political information as an example.] Washington does something, and that's picked up by a [newsroom]. The newsroom is filled with reporters and journalists, who take the raw information coming out of washington and process it into something more consumable. That information, these days is often fed to [bloggers] who continue

What are drone anti-jamming systems? The drone anti-jamming systems and anti-spoof technology protect against interference, jamming, and spoofing of the UAVs. To protect their security, countries are beginning to research drone anti-jamming systems, also known as drone strike weapons. The anti-jam and anti-spoof technology protects against interference, jamming and spoofing. A drone strike weapon is a drone attack weapon that can attack and destroy enemy drones. So what is so unique about this amazing system?

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.
