The document provides background information on author Aldous Huxley and his most famous work, Brave New World. It summarizes that Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932 as a dystopian novel and political satire set in a future society that strives for stability and happiness through genetic engineering and conditioning. Some of the key characters described include Bernard Marx, John the Savage, Lenina Crowne, and Mustapha Mond.
The world is ruled by a conformist society in the year 632 A.F. where there is no individuality, choice, or free will. Science is used to mass produce humans through Bokanovsky's Process and all individuals are divided into predetermined castes. Bernard, an outcast, brings two outsiders, Linda and her son John, to see this Brave New World for the first time.
This document provides background information on author Aldous Huxley and context for his novel "Brave New World". Key details include that the novel was published in 1932 and is set in a dystopian future where reproduction, family, and individuality have been replaced by an orderly caste system and social control through technology and drugs. The setting and themes are inspired by industrialization, mass production, and Huxley's observations of American culture which emphasized youth and consumerism.
This document provides background information on author Aldous Huxley and summarizes the first chapter of his novel "Brave New World". It describes the setting of the first chapter as a hatchery and conditioning center in futuristic London. It then summarizes the Director giving a tour of the fertilization room to new students, explaining the process by which eggs are fertilized in test tubes and developed into embryos destined for different castes in their society.
The document outlines an approach to scalable network services in Java using event-driven and non-blocking I/O. It discusses using the reactor pattern to handle I/O events asynchronously by dispatching tasks to handlers. This allows for high performance by reducing blocking and leveraging available resources like CPUs. It provides examples of how this can be implemented using Java's NIO APIs including channels, buffers, selectors and selection keys.
This document summarizes Hadoop MapReduce, including its goals of distribution and reliability. It describes the roles of mappers, reducers, and other system components like the JobTracker and TaskTracker. Mappers take input key-value pairs and produce intermediate output. Reducers receive intermediate keys and values to produce the final output. The JobTracker manages jobs and scheduling while the TaskTracker manages tasks on each node.
This document provides an overview and introduction to Distributed Ruby (DRb), which enables remote method invocation for Ruby. DRb allows peer-to-peer communication between client and server processes, works across multiple platforms and protocols, and can be used for parallelism, distributing work, and interprocess communication. Examples are provided demonstrating basic DRb usage including a server hosting a shared object and a client accessing it. Details are also given on connection types, security features, and related technologies like Rinda that build on DRb.
This document summarizes multi-core computer architectures. It discusses how single-core CPUs are being replaced by multi-core chips that contain multiple processor cores on a single die. Each core can run threads in parallel for improved performance. The cores share the same memory and socket. Operating systems see each core as a separate processor. Issues around cache coherence and programming for multi-core architectures are also covered at a high level.
1. The document discusses the problem of social networks not being portable and the need to leverage the existing "social graph" of connections between users across different sites.
2. The author proposes a system that would allow a user's friends to follow them across different social networks and track new connections over time without having to repeatedly invite friends.
3. The system would map the relationships between a user's accounts across multiple sites to find equivalent nodes and all of a user's aggregate friends in order to suggest new connections.
The document discusses the evolution of web applications from vanilla to AJAX and strategies for building a model of user behavior in AJAX applications. It recommends building a na?ve initial model, validating and refining it using metrics like responsiveness and efficiency. The key is to pre-fetch data only if the value of reduced latency outweighs the cost of downloading data that may not be needed.
Closures for Java and other thoughts on language evolution
The document discusses goals for language changes including simplifying programs, reducing bugs, and adapting to changing requirements like multicore processors and concurrency. It proposes adding closures to Java to help meet these goals by allowing for more concise code, avoiding repetition, and making programming with concurrency easier. Specific examples are given of how closures could help implement common patterns like try-with-resources and iteration in a more readable way while also enabling flexibility for programmers to extend the language.
A Content-Driven Reputation System for the Wikipedianextlib
?
This document discusses a content-driven reputation and text trust system for Wikipedia. It aims to encourage lasting contributions by having authors gain reputation for edits that survive over time and lose reputation for reverted edits. Text trust is computed based on the reputation of its authors, with new text initially having lower trust that increases as it survives edits from higher-reputation authors. The system was tested on entire Wikipedia language editions and showed predictive power, with low-reputation edits more likely to be reverted.
1) Matrix multiplication (Ax=b) can be viewed as a change of axes that transforms the input vector x into the output vector b.
2) Singular value decomposition (SVD) finds the orthogonal input and output basis vectors (columns of U and V matrices) and the scaling factors between them (diagonal elements of S matrix).
3) SVD(A) = USV^T provides a way to understand how a matrix stretches and transforms space by decomposing it into orthogonal basis vectors and scale factors linking the input and output spaces.
This document discusses Mongrel, an HTTP server library written in Ruby that provides a fast and flexible way to run web applications. It summarizes Mongrel's key features and compares its performance to Rails. It also discusses how Merb was created as a cleaner implementation of Rails that takes advantage of Mongrel's speed by running as a Mongrel handler rather than a standalone framework.
The document compares different state-of-the-art collaborative filtering systems. It finds that item-based collaborative filtering performs best with a mean absolute error of 0.6382 using probabilistic similarity and 400 neighbors. User-based approaches work best with 1500 neighbors and predicting using deviation from the mean. Cluster-based approaches have the highest error rate of 0.6736 using K-means clustering into 4 clusters and predicting with Bayes. Item-based approaches require fewer neighbors and scale better to large datasets.
Item Based Collaborative Filtering Recommendation Algorithmsnextlib
?
The document summarizes research on item-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms. It analyzes techniques for computing item-item similarities and generating recommendations from the similarities. Experimental results show that item-based collaborative filtering provides better quality recommendations than user-based approaches, especially for sparse datasets. The regression-based prediction computation technique outperforms the weighted sum approach.
The survey received 781 responses from IT professionals regarding their experience with agile techniques. Key findings include:
- 85% of organizations had adopted at least one agile technique
- When asked about future adoption, most said within a year or were considering it
- Pair programming and test-driven development were among the most commonly adopted techniques
- Over 70% of co-located agile projects were considered successful
The document provides an overview of the Cool programming language and the compiler project. It discusses the main components of a compiler including the frontend, intermediate representation, and backend. It describes Cool's features like classes, methods, inheritance and memory management through garbage collection. The project involves implementing a complete compiler for Cool that translates programs to MIPS assembly in C++ across multiple assignments.
Improving Quality of Search Results Clustering with Approximate Matrix Factor...nextlib
?
This document discusses improving search results by clustering them into semantic groups. It describes some limitations of conventional ranked search results, such as users having to sift through many irrelevant documents. The document proposes clustering search results to group related documents together under meaningful labels to give users a better overview. It describes how search results clustering works using only short document snippets as input. Matrix factorizations are discussed as a method to identify good cluster labels from the snippets by decomposing a term-document matrix.
This document summarizes support vector machines (SVMs), a machine learning technique for classification and regression. SVMs find the optimal separating hyperplane that maximizes the margin between positive and negative examples in the training data. This is achieved by solving a convex optimization problem that minimizes a quadratic function under linear constraints. SVMs can perform non-linear classification by implicitly mapping inputs into a higher-dimensional feature space using kernel functions. They have applications in areas like text categorization due to their ability to handle high-dimensional sparse data.
The document summarizes Google's Bigtable storage system, which provides a structured storage layer for large distributed data sets. Bigtable stores data as a sparse, distributed, multidimensional sorted map. It is built using the Google File System for storage, Chubby for locking, and provides a simple "get/put/delete" interface for accessing rows and columns. Bigtable tables are sharded into tablets, distributed across servers, and data is stored in immutable Sorted String Tables (SSTables).

Empower users with responsible and secure AI for generating insights from your company’s data.? Usage control and data protection concerns limit companies from leveraging Generative AI.? For customers that don’t want to take any risk of using Public AI services.? For customers that are willing to use Public AI services but want to manage the risks.?
This presentation was delivered to a mixed sector industrial audience to provide a balanced view of why AI is necessary in many working environments, and further, how it can advantage the individual and organisation. It also dispels the widely held (media) view that AI will destroy jobs and displace people on a socially damaging scale. The really serious threat scenarios actually remain the domain of human players, and not as depicted by some Hollywood dystopian ‘machines take over’ nightmare!
“Primarily seeing AI as a downsizing opportunity is to miss the key point: by empowering employees it is the biggest growth agent!”
The nonsensical nature of ‘AI v human supremacy arguments’ also distract from the symbiotic relationships we are forging. This is especially evident when confronted by complexity beyond our natural abilities. For example: procurement and supply chains may now see >>60 independent variables (features and parameters) with many requiring real time control. Humans can typically cope with 5 - 7, whilst our mathematical framework fails at 5. This primal limiter also compounds the risks involved in designing for:
optimisation v brittleness v resilience
In this context, the digitisation process is largely regarded as an ‘event instead of a continuum’ and this greatly exacerbates the risks involved. This is illustrated against the backdrop of several past tech-revolutions and the changes they invoked. Two ongoing revolutions are also included with ‘projections’ for likely futures/outcomes.
The closing remarks remind the audience of just one observation that we all need to keep in mind:

I Thought I’d Lost Everything, My Crops, My Savings, My Future! I'm a third-generation farmer, and like most of my family, I have weathered storms, both the literal and economic varieties. Nothing, though, could have prepared me for the flood that swept through my farm and nearly drowned my future. Over the past five years, I had amassed a $120,000 Bitcoin buffer in silence as a hedge against unstable crop prices. It was my shield against poor harvests and market crashes.
And then the flood came. It wasn't rain, it was the wrath of nature. Water flooded into my office, turning documents into pulp and sending my computers floating around like lumber. My hardware wallet, the sole bulwark between me and that $120,000, was submerged in muddy water. When the skies finally cleared, I held the waterlogged device in my hand, praying fervently that it would still work. It didn't.
Panic ensued. The soybeans were ruined, the barn needed to be repaired, and now my electronic savings, the one thing I thought was sacrosanct was gone. I couldn't tell my wife; she had already been up to her knees helping shovel sludge out of our home.
Desperate, I had put it on an agriculture technology site. I had cried and written, praying that someone somewhere would know what to do. A user responded with a username that turned out to be my savior, Salvage Asset Recovery.
I called them the next day, preparing for robot voice or a bait-and-switch sales pitch. But to my surprise, I spoke with human compassion, patience, and understanding. I unloaded my story, and they listened like neighbors calling after a tornado. They worked immediately, using fancy data reconstruction tools I couldn't even understand.
Every day, they updated me in simple terms. I was anxious, but their professionalism calmed me down. On the ninth day, I got the call. They had recovered my wallet. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was so relieved that I nearly kissed my filthy boots.
When they heard about the flooding damage, they even discounted part of their fee. That touched me more than the rain. Salvage Asset Recovery didn't just restore my savings, they restored my trust in people. They are heroes in my book, and thanks to them, my family's future is once again set on stable ground.

7. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) The Assembly Line ( 裝配線 ) The innovation sequence leading to the moving assembly line went like this: From 1910 , when Henry Ford opened the 60-acre Highland Park plant, the company had a policy of replacing machines producing parts as quickly as the tool room could develop those specialized, single purpose machines that so greatly improved the production rates for parts. The Ford tool room was a major center for innovation in machining and tooling. They built the machines that made the plant go. The new specialized machines for producing parts were positioned strategically according to 'what' they produced in order to produce parts as close to the assembly area as possible. By 1914 , the tool room had built and installed 15,000 of its special purpose machines. They were installed in a line parallel to the chassis assembly area. Workers on the production machines dropped their parts into bins lined up between their own work area and the assembly area. The parts runners carried parts and sub-assemblies from the centrally located parts bins to the assembly areas, but they had trouble keeping up with the pace set by either the parts producers or the assemblers unless they were just swarming all over the place. When there were too many runners, the parts really didn't seem to get delivered any faster--there was just more confusion.
8. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) The Assembly Line ( 裝配線 ) Clarence Avery , the scientific management specialist Ford hired in 1912 , suggested installing conveyor belts ( 輸送帶 ) to take parts from the production areas to the assembly areas more quickly. That cut out the need for so many runners and made things flow better. Next (by early 1913 ) the bottleneck showed up in key sub assemblies, particularly the fly-wheel magneto C&S talk about, but also with engines and transmissions. All the other parts could be produced faster and delivered to the assembly areas more quickly than these key components. Moreover, the assemblers still had an easy time. They could work very comfortably at the rates determined by the delivery of the key sub assemblies.
9. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) The Assembly Line ( 裝配線 ) By mid 1913 , the production people set up moving assembly lines for the magnetos, the engines, and the transmissions. As C&S indicate, the assembly time for the magnetos (total labor hour inputs / no. of magnetos produced) dropped from 20 minutes to 5 minutes as a result. Now the magneto line, the engine line, and the transmission line could turn out their assemblies as fast as all the other parts people, but the assembly teams on the chassis line couldn't deal with all the parts pouring into the assembly areas on the conveyor belts.
10. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) The Assembly Line ( 裝配線 ) By December 1913, the plant people had set up the experiment with winches and ropes ( 絞索 ) pulling the chassis down a line where the assemblers stood in one place with their parts piles. They put on their wheels, or fenders, or whatever, as each chassis moved past them. In other words, the innovation reversed the old process in which the workers moved in teams down the line receiving their parts at each chassis as they arrived. One of the primary features of the new process is that all work--or as much as possible--was arranged so workers used their tools at waist height--a clear innovation that Avery introduced on the basis of the Gilbreth motion studies.
11. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) The Assembly Line ( 裝配線 ) The 1914 improvements C&S mention, which dropped assembly time to 90 minutes, resulted from the fact that the rope and winch system was really only used for one month. It proved so successful that in January 1914 the Ford production engineers installed the continuous chain to keep the chassis line moving . Working out the 'bugs' dropped the time very rapidly from the 6 hrs using the winches--a dramatic drop from the 17 hr. labor input in the old moving team system.

14. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 柏納 馬克斯 ( 心理學家 ) BERNARD MARX A sleep-learning specialist at the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Bernard is a misfit . He is unusually short for an Alpha; an accident with alcohol in Bernard's blood-surrogate before his decanting has left him slightly stunted . Bernard's independence of mind stems more from his inferiority-complex and depressive nature than any depth of philosophical conviction.
15. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 約翰 ( 野人 ) JOHN THE SAVAGE The illicit son of the Director and Linda. He was born and reared on the Savage Reservation ("Malpais") after Linda was unwittingly left behind by her errant lover . John the Savage is an outsider both on the Reservation - where the ignorant natives still practise marriage, natural birth, family life and religion - and the ostensibly civilised Brave New World: a totalitarian welfare-state based on principles of stability and happiness, albeit happiness of a shallow and insipid nature. The Savage has read nothing but The Complete Works of William Shakespeare .
16. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 蕾妮娜 克朗 ( 衍殖員 ) LENINA CROWNE A young, beautiful and sexually liberated Alpha. Lenina is a popular and promiscuous vaccination-worker at the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. Somewhat quirky - she normally dates only one person at a time - Lenina is basically happy and well-conditioned. She uses soma to suppress unwelcome emotions . Lenina has a date with Bernard, to whom she feels ambivalently attracted; and she goes to the Reservation with him. On returning with relief to civilisation, she tries and fails to seduce John the Savage. The Savage loves and desires Lenina; but owing to his quixotic nature, he is repelled by her forwardness and the prospect of pre-marital sex. So he casts her aside as an " impudent strumpet ".
17. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 漢姆荷茲 華森 ( 情緒工程學院寫作系講師 ) HELMHOLTZ WATSON Handsome and successful Alpha-plus lecturer at the College of Emotional Engineering . Helmholtz is a friend of Bernard. He is restive at the stifling conformism and philistinism of the World State . Not least, he feels unfulfilled writing endless propaganda doggerel. Helmholtz is ultimately exiled to an Island - a cold asylum for disaffected Alpha-plus non-conformists - after reading a heretical poem to his students on the virtues of solitude.
18. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 湯馬金 ( 衍殖室主任 ) THOMAS / 'TOMAKIN', 'THE DIRECTOR’ Administrator in the year 632AF of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. The Director runs a futuristic baby-factory where the assembly-line production of genetic castes is streamlined and controlled , and maturing youngsters are brainwashed via neo-Pavlovian conditioning and hypnopaedia ["sleep-learning"] into being happy with their state-allotted roles in life.
19. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 瑪斯塔法 蒙德 ( 元首 ) MUSTAPHA MOND Resident World Controller of Western Europe . He presides over one of the ten zones of the World State , the global government set up after the cataclysmic Nine Years' War and great Economic Collapse . Sophisticated and good-natured, His Fordship is an urbane and hyperintelligent apologist for Brave New World and its velvet-gloved totalitarianism.
20. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 瑪斯塔法 蒙德主張 : MUSTAPHA MOND ARGUES: The Controller argues that art, literature and scientific freedom must be sacrificed in order to secure the ultimate utilitarian goal of maximising societal happiness . He defends the genetic caste system , behavioural conditioning and the lack of personal freedom in the World State as a price worth paying for achieving social stability. Stability is the highest social virtue because it leads to lasting happiness.
21. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 重要的人物角色 琳達 ( 野人的母親 / 湯馬金的前女友 ) LINDA Ageing mother of John the Savage . Linda is a Beta-minus left behind for dead after a storm on the Reservation while she was pregnant with the Director's child . Linda had been too ashamed to go back on her own initiative to the Other Place with her illegitimate son; but she misses soma and the comforts of civilisation . She ages and grows fat in the medically primitive conditions of the Reservation. After returning home with Bernard and her now grown-up child to the world she had lost, Linda ends up in Park Lane Hospital for the Dying after overdoing her permanent "soma-holiday".
22. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 次要的人物角色 享利 福斯特 ( 主任助理、蕾妮娜前男友 ) HENRY FOSTER A young, cheerful, conventional Alpha male. Henry is a scientist, a statistician, and assistant to the Director at the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. He is one of Lenina's ex-lover s.

24. Aldous Huxley: Brave New World ( 赫胥黎 : 美麗新世界 ) 結語 : 什麼是文明 ? "But I like the inconveniences." "We don't," said the Controller. "We prefer to do things comfortably." "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." "In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy." "All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy." "Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphillis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind." There was a long silence. "I claim them all," said the Savage at last. Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. "You're welcome," he said.
