[music]

2
00:00:09,825 --> 00:00:11,845
[music]

3
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:17,760
[screaming]

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400
Stop. [applause]

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,359
Okay, we got to work on that.

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,720
Welcome back everyone to Pyon AU 2026.

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080
Uh, welcome to Lightning Talks.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,040
Sup.

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,559
If you're not familiar with lightning

10
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:36,719
talks, lightning talks are our fiveinut

11
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,120
sessions. They are exactly 5 minutes.

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,600
They will be no more than 5 minutes. If

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,760
they are more than 5 minutes, you will

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,399
see the timer start to tick down on

15
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,039
stage and behind you. You'll be looking

16
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:51,920
there. They'll see it behind you.

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,360
When that timer hits about five or 10

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,280
seconds, what we want from you is we

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,039
want very small little finger claps just

20
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:01,920
to

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,960
practicing. Practicing

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,280
practicing. Yep.

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,439
To to to kind of like we're wrapping up,

24
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:08,560
but we still want to hear the speaker

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640
for the last 10 seconds. As soon as the

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
clock hits zero, we want the loudest

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,520
applause you can imagine. And then stop

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,799
so that we can keep things moving.

29
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:20,880
Perfect. Well done. And I think this I

30
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,000
think this audience gets it.

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,720
I think they get it. So, with no further

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,080
ado, uh first up we have uh No, sorry.

33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,720
On deck we have David. But first up we

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,686
have Kai. Take it away. [applause]

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,159
All right. So, I've been a Python

36
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,840
developer for 17ish years now. I've got

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,320
a confession to make. I still don't

38
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,840
entirely understand how lists work.

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,759
So the rest of this talk is going to use

40
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:53,759
a bit of code. This is here. Basically

41
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:55,840
we have some imports and then we have

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,680
this function which just sums up numbers

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,680
greater than zero of a list.

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,719
And we have a list of numbers.

45
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:07,280
That helps.

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520
And if we

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840
function takes about 48 mills on this

48
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,720
list.

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,120
Now we shuffle the list. So we just we

50
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
change the order.

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,760
Now, let's have a raise of hands. Will

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,040
this be faster, slower, or about the

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,920
same? So, hands up for faster.

54
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,560
Yeah. What about slower?

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,920
Okay. What about roughly the same?

56
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,920
Yeah,

57
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,441
it is five times slower.

58
00:02:42,441 --> 00:02:44,461
[laughter]

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200
And the thing is I don't really

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,356
understand why. [laughter]

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,886
Yeah.

62
00:02:54,886 --> 00:02:56,906
[laughter]

63
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:59,599
But it gets more confusing. So my

64
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:01,840
confusion will continue.

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,159
We now make an unsorted list

66
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:08,720
just using rand

67
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,599
and goes back to being fast.

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,239
Now we sort this list

69
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,879
and it becomes slow again.

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,720
So it's not just the allocation and it's

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,800
not a branch mispredictor or something.

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
So I've got a couple of hypothesis here

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,480
and we'll see how many I can get through

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,519
before we actually run out of time.

75
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:38,159
So in Python, a list isn't just a C

76
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,440
style array. We have a line of bits

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,280
which you interpret as something

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,080
meaningful. It's got this quite

79
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,239
complicated link list structure which

80
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:51,200
points to arrays of pointers to a python

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,200
object.

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,879
And my understanding of this is that

83
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,040
these pyong objects are often heap

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920
allocated and they're my understanding

85
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,360
of heap allocations it's essentially

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,799
random and which address it gets

87
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:07,519
allocated to.

88
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:10,680
But that's

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,319
not actually what seems to happen. Like

90
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:17,120
if they were randomly allocated and we

91
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,079
sort the

92
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,160
values of the list, we would expect

93
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,560
something like this. So we would have

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,040
heap allocation at the top and we would

95
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,080
allocate an array of these like

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,400
sequentially in memory. Now if they were

97
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,320
sorted this would look like this. If

98
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,520
they're unsorted, it would look like

99
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,040
this.

100
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,120
But

101
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,080
if they're sorted, like if they're

102
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,400
maloced sequentially, then you would

103
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,080
expect that to be faster because of like

104
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,840
case efficiencies. But that's not what

105
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,120
seems to be happening. So I'm not quite

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,759
sure what is happening. So if anyone can

107
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:56,800
explain this to me, I'd really

108
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880
appreciate it.

109
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,648
Thank you.

110
00:05:00,648 --> 00:05:02,668
[applause]

111
00:05:06,543 --> 00:05:08,563
[applause]

112
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,160
understand. Oh, there we go. Thank you

113
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,759
so much, Kai. The list of things I don't

114
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,680
understand about Python gets longer and

115
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,880
longer. On de You're welcome. On deck,

116
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:24,080
we have Tim. But next is David.

117
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,880
Hi all. Um, yeah. Uh, so units are

118
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,639
weird, but but what do I mean by units?

119
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,479
So, so first of all, like I have these

120
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:36,000
quantities, uh, but what what what do I

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240
mean by one? No. Well, actually, I have

122
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
units for these. That's that's 1 meter

123
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,000
there and I have two 2 m/s. So, like,

124
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
yeah. So, so I've got quantities and

125
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,240
then they have units attached to them.

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,199
Great. I want to put these units of

127
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,720
measure into my Python code so that I

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
don't accidentally make a mistake,

129
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,080
hopefully. Um, so I like typins. Uh, so

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,199
let's try using typeints for this. Um,

131
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,560
so I've got some type aliases here. Um,

132
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,560
and so I can define x as 10 m.

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,479
Just picked a number. Um, and yeah, I

134
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:20,960
can I can type in the result of a

135
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,000
division. Uh but then I can also uh add

136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,960
my x which is in meters and my v which

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,280
is in meters per second and get an

138
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:35,919
answer. Um not quite what I wanted. Uh

139
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:38,639
okay, next approach.

140
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:42,560
Let's try using uh the new type uh in

141
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,520
the typing module. Um,

142
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,639
so this forces you to uh wrap each of

143
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,280
your values in the the type name. So

144
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:00,400
here I have 10 m again and

145
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,440
2 m/s. I can divide but uh if I actually

146
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,080
run this through a type checker uh I

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,919
just get floats uh after my uh

148
00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:15,759
computations. Uh so also not

149
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,199
particularly helpful.

150
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,840
So I guess we should probably actually

151
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160
try using a library. Um there are a lot

152
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,440
of of uh units libraries on Pippi. Um,

153
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,560
if you're doing any scientific

154
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,680
computation, you're probably

155
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,240
going to be you h have all your

156
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,080
quantities in SI units. Uh, sci does

157
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,919
define a whole bunch of conversion

158
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:48,479
factors, but you know, you just multiply

159
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:50,240
them and you get get numbers out the

160
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,360
end, right? Um, so not helpful for me

161
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,720
trying to avoid uh making mistakes. Um,

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Astropi, if you're in the astronomy

163
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,039
space, has a great uh units library. I'm

164
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:13,759
not going to demo it. Um, uh, Senpai

165
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:18,720
also has units. Um

166
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,000
if you're doing symbolic computation

167
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,879
uh you know you you can say hey I want

168
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,639
to add 5 m and 500 cm and you can

169
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:32,640
actually get out 10 m out of it which is

170
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,479
great.

171
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:37,479
And

172
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,959
if I add my distance mi velocity I get

173
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:44,399
this weird expression. Um, at least I

174
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:48,000
know that something weird has happened.

175
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,200
Um, but on the note of weird things

176
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,399
happening, let's talk about angles.

177
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,839
So the SI unit for angles is the radian,

178
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:05,519
which is defined as the angle subended

179
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:10,000
by an arc length that is equal to the

180
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,839
radius of of a circle. You might notice

181
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:18,320
that this is a ratio and when you divide

182
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
that out the meters cancel out.

183
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,680
So the radian is actually not a

184
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,360
dimension.

185
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,040
Um

186
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,560
this

187
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,320
kind of breaks a few things. Uh because

188
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,120
it means that if I have angular velocity

189
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,720
and frequency they are dimensionally the

190
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,200
same. I cannot distinguish between them

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,680
if I don't actually have a radiant unit.

192
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,680
Um

193
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:53,120
thankfully uh

194
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,440
you know in in senpai radians are an

195
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,480
actual unit. So cool. Um what about the

196
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
this other Oh never mind. Uh that

197
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,120
depends on an ancient version of of

198
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,880
setup tools. Uh we'll we'll ignore that

199
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,880
one.

200
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Uh, pint is one of the more popular unit

201
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,079
libraries. So, you can define

202
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:18,079
uh quantities by just multiplying and

203
00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:20,480
dividing units.

204
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Uh, it you

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,532
um

206
00:10:25,532 --> 00:10:27,552
[applause]

207
00:10:28,152 --> 00:10:30,172
[cheering]

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920
don't make me use the mic.

209
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,320
Too late. Uh and of course the unit of

210
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,562
confusion is a list. Uh

211
00:10:42,562 --> 00:10:43,200
[laughter]

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480
uh first uh next up we have uh Niko

213
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Castillo. Uh but for now Timothy Honey.

214
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:51,732
Awesome.

215
00:10:51,732 --> 00:10:53,752
[applause]

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,120
Cool. Cool. All right. I'll k Pon

217
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,560
Etifano or hello to the Pyon family. Um

218
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,800
my name is Tim Honey. I come from New

219
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Zealand. I think there's a few of us

220
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,240
here today. Woohoo! Ka um hey look so

221
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,360
yeah today my talk is going to be about

222
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,560
uh pulling oh sorry not pulling up the

223
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,600
ladder on business users so look first

224
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,440
and foremost I was totally unprepared

225
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,959
for this and so I don't have any

226
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:22,640
PowerPoint slides but I'm super

227
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,160
passionate about this topic so I'm just

228
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,440
going to speak from the heart and we'll

229
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,880
see how that goes. So

230
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,760
my career basically right is I started

231
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,079
as a data analyst working in the data

232
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:36,720
governance space at a big bank. So as

233
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,440
you can imagine right red tape galore

234
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,079
heaps of business users doing all sorts

235
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:45,040
of different things. Um my very next job

236
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,680
after that I got to join a very lean

237
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,440
business that was kind of more

238
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,600
cloudnative. I was working in a much

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,440
more technical team who actually knew

240
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,839
the difference between a spreadsheet and

241
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,839
a piece of code. um it wasn't all just

242
00:11:57,839 --> 00:11:59,920
the same thing to them. So, I've kind of

243
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,720
seen quite a different view on all these

244
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,360
sorts of things. And something I've

245
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
really come to notice is that for

246
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,279
business people who I'm sure many of us

247
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,200
have to deal with in our day-to-day

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,600
lives and jobs, whether that's at work

249
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,440
and you're talking to an agile coach or

250
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920
a product owner or when you're at home

251
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,600
and one of your parents are saying to

252
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,680
you, "Hey, my phone won't send this

253
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:26,880
email. What do I do?" Um, often I think

254
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,120
some of these things can get kind of

255
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,480
annoying in a way, right? And you're

256
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,399
thinking, well, it's just so simple, you

257
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:33,760
know, if you just do the do this, this,

258
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,360
and that, you know, you'll have it

259
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
sorted and away you go. And then you get

260
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,760
frustrated cuz that doesn't work for

261
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,120
them. And then you wind up just doing it

262
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,200
yourself. And then before you know it,

263
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,279
you're managing all the tech stack for

264
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,440
your family and at work and it's just

265
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,800
like, how did I get here? And I think a

266
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,920
big part of that is that for us as

267
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,000
technical users, and I've heard some

268
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,160
brilliant minds speak today about things

269
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,320
that gave me an insane amount of

270
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,760
imposter syndrome, we don't realize just

271
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,120
how much we actually know in this space.

272
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,440
And we're very privileged to actually be

273
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,079
in a position that we can build awesome

274
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:14,320
tools and that we can work with, you

275
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,880
know, huge amounts of data at scale. and

276
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
you know we can automate things and we

277
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,639
can build all these really amazing

278
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,480
things. But then when you go and speak

279
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,320
to someone who doesn't have that kind of

280
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,399
a skill set, maybe they've got great

281
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,160
domain knowledge in whatever it is the

282
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040
business is to them like we may as well

283
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,800
be speaking another language and you

284
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,160
know often times maybe we are um and

285
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,079
that's that comes from a place of fear

286
00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:40,240
almost too. So it's not that they don't

287
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,760
want to learn. It's it's not that

288
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920
they're trying to make your life more

289
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,920
difficult. I'm sure there are people out

290
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,079
there that are, but for the most part,

291
00:13:48,079 --> 00:13:49,680
I'll try and give the benefit of the

292
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:51,360
doubt.

293
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,320
What I've learned though is that we have

294
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,720
to be able to bring people along the

295
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,160
journey with us. So, for example, right,

296
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,399
um, in a previous role, I worked with a

297
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,720
team of project managers and they had

298
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
this Excel workbook that they would do

299
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,880
all of their financial reporting in.

300
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,320
They're working with the dev teams.

301
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,279
They're trying to keep track of

302
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,000
everything going on. And it was just

303
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160
painful to watch cuz they'd open the

304
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,920
workbook, it would take 20 minutes to

305
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,240
load. And to me, straight away, I'm

306
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,160
like, "Oh, cool. Why don't we just like

307
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,160
replace all of that processing with a

308
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,399
couple of Python scripts, make it super

309
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,160
lean and lightweight, everything's

310
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,440
standardized. You can roll up the

311
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,279
dashboards and everything's beautiful."

312
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:32,880
In my mind, I'm like, "This is super

313
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,480
logical. We should just This will be

314
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,480
real easy to get over the line." And

315
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,040
then reality hits. Nobody wants to even

316
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,720
touch a Python script. They're like, I

317
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,240
don't know how to code. Get away from

318
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,519
me. I like my spreadsheet.

319
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,519
And it was really tempting to just be

320
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,639
like, h, screw this. And run away. Um,

321
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:52,320
but to me, that's that's pulling up the

322
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,160
ladder behind myself and going, well,

323
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,480
I'll go do things in this efficient,

324
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,480
more productive manner, and I'll just

325
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,639
leave these people who quite frankly is

326
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:03,120
probably a big chunk of the population.

327
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,720
Um, and [clears throat] so what I

328
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,959
learned to do instead was, okay, I'm

329
00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:08,560
going to get people in a room and I'm

330
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,079
going to talk to them. And that was

331
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:11,600
nerve-wracking, especially at the time

332
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,800
because some of these people were pretty

333
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,519
senior stakeholders relative to me. But

334
00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:17,040
it was really cool like once people

335
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440
actually started to see, okay, what's

336
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,800
the narrative here? Like what's what

337
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,000
story is this guy actually trying to

338
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,760
tell? And you walked them through like

339
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,600
here's what you're doing today. Here's

340
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,680
where you're running into pain. Here's

341
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360
another approach. and I'm going to build

342
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,680
it in a way that makes it usable and

343
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,760
practical for you to, you know, engage

344
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,680
with. I'm very conscious I'm about to

345
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,120
run out of time, so I'm just going to

346
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,199
sum this all up real quick. Just

347
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:41,760
remember, not everybody knows what you

348
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,760
might know. And so, when you're out

349
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,279
there working, when you're doing these

350
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,680
things, bring people along with you,

351
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,199
make it work for them, and you'll

352
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:50,480
probably find your own life gets a

353
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,000
little bit easier. Awesome. Thank you

354
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,710
all so much. [applause]

355
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,000
All right, I think we I think we're

356
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,839
getting a little bit uh rusty on the

357
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:03,440
stopping clapping, but thank you so

358
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,880
much, Tim. That was really fascinating.

359
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,880
I genuinely would love to have heard

360
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,199
more, but that's not this format. Um, up

361
00:16:09,199 --> 00:16:14,040
on deck we have Luke. Next, Nico.

362
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800
So, thank you. So, I'm going to talk

363
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,959
about from FIFA Panini in port

364
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:22,160
bankruptcy what the 2026 work really

365
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,759
cost. So, this is joint work with my

366
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:27,120
friend Casper Waro. So every four years

367
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,519
something really magical happen and that

368
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:33,040
that is the FIFA World Cup occurs and

369
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,800
it's even more special if your team made

370
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,639
it to it right. So at the same time FIFA

371
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,639
jointly with the Panini family in Italy

372
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:43,279
released the sticker album. So this

373
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,680
contains all the 48 teams that made it

374
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,720
to the World Cup and about each team has

375
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120
like 20 players to collect. So the way

376
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,320
it works is that you buy a one pack of

377
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,199
stickers that contains seven stickers.

378
00:16:57,199 --> 00:16:59,759
Each pack cost around I think $4. In

379
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,519
Australia it varies, right? Like in

380
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:04,720
Mexico where I'm from is like around $3.

381
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,679
In Europe is around 350. Uh England

382
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:10,079
about the same. So every pack is random.

383
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,240
You don't know what you will get. So one

384
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,240
natural question to ask is how many

385
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,760
packs do you need to buy in order to

386
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,400
complete the album? So then like you go

387
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,199
and uh so 1980

388
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:23,280
stickers divided by 7 which contains the

389
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,240
pack. So it's about 140 packs. This

390
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,559
assumes every sticker is new, no

391
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:32,160
duplicates, no repeats. But uh then you

392
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,840
start like buying opening the stickers

393
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,240
and you realize that suddenly you start

394
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,280
collecting duplicates. Like uh if you

395
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,520
open about six packs there is a 50%

396
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,200
chance that you already get a duplicate

397
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,440
and around 90 stickers which is about 13

398
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,080
packs. it's pretty pretty like sure that

399
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,000
you are going to get a sticker. So this

400
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240
is very similar to the birthday problem

401
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,080
in which in a room

402
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,760
what is the probability that two people

403
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,080
have the same birthday right in this

404
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,840
case uh with 38 stickers uh 50% chance

405
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,320
there is a duplicate so 38 people what

406
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,919
is the probability that two people have

407
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:10,799
the same birthday about the 50 right so

408
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,080
with 94 stickers 13 packs the

409
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,919
probability that probability increase is

410
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:18,720
almost one right or 100%. So the real

411
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,640
problem is that at the beginning like a

412
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,320
new stick you get a lot of new stickers

413
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,960
but at the end like almost everything is

414
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,320
going to be a duplicate. So you are

415
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400
collecting those uh few ones. So that's

416
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,200
why 140 packs is not enough. So with my

417
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,160
friend Casper we simulated like imagine

418
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,480
that you have 4,000 collectors and you

419
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,480
can do this also mathematically right.

420
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,720
The simulation tells you that if you are

421
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,440
lucky that you would need at least 700

422
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,720
packs and maybe at most 452. This is

423
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,960
like 10% the end of the tail of the

424
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960
distribution. If you get really unlucky,

425
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,160
you hit to buy like around 1,200 packs.

426
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,880
This is the top 20% of the distribution.

427
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,039
And on average, the simulation tell us

428
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:03,520
it's going to be around a,000 with

429
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,400
concise with the what the mathematical

430
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,039
formula tells you. So then you need a

431
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,039
better strategy and that is why don't

432
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:13,120
you start swapping with friends. So we

433
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,200
simulated that as well right? So if you

434
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,760
go solo as I mentioned it's going to be

435
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,280
150

436
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,679
packs but like if you start like

437
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:24,000
swapping with a friend this improves

438
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,160
already like to 40% right so 643 packs

439
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,640
and if you swap with five friends this

440
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,600
goes all the way to 310 packs. So you

441
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,160
significantly are going to save. So

442
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,600
these are the numbers that you have to

443
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,160
remember. Naive guess, right? Like just

444
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,960
like myself, like okay, 140 packs, so

445
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,559
this is around $600. If you go solo,

446
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:48,559
this is going to be more than $4,000.

447
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,960
That's a small fortune, right? If you

448
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,480
have like a lot of friends, it's going

449
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,400
to be 310 packs. So around $1,200, 70%

450
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,559
less. So the takeaways is that 140 packs

451
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:03,440
is like fantasy. erh duplicates arrive

452
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,960
early and make the album expensive

453
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,160
around uh 1,000 packs if you go solo

454
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,880
versus 300 with five friends. So the

455
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,320
moral of the story is making new friend

456
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,440
is fun and finishes the album faster. So

457
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,520
uh just to finish organizer submit meets

458
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,600
they are great for finishing the album

459
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,880
as as we say in Mexico to cases masa in

460
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,480
reality is mikas to casa just don't let

461
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,559
them get too comfortable

462
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:34,034
just like a note okay thank you

463
00:20:34,034 --> 00:20:36,054
[applause]

464
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,880
thank you Nico and as the treasurer for

465
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,480
AU this year I'd like to announce we'll

466
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,159
be selling stickers at the door on the

467
00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:49,520
way out. Uh, swap meets not allowed. Uh,

468
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,679
on deck we've got Evan, but next we've

469
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:54,840
got Luke.

470
00:20:54,994 --> 00:20:57,014
[applause]

471
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,200
Oh, I'm on. Okay. I didn't see the the

472
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,919
the clock. Um, I'm a platform engineer,

473
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:06,080
so apparently I am into disasters and

474
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,559
emergencies, although I was a volunteer

475
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,159
firefighter before I became a platform

476
00:21:10,159 --> 00:21:11,600
engineer. So, I don't know where the how

477
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,559
the how the causation goes. Um, do you

478
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:17,360
have a plan for everyday emergencies

479
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,760
that can just happen to you or that you

480
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,039
may just walk into? Um, you should have

481
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:24,880
a plan. I'm sure you've heard government

482
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,919
advertisements that say make a plan. Um,

483
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:29,679
you should do that. Um, if you haven't

484
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:31,039
listened to the government, listen to

485
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:32,720
me. Should you listen to me? Probably

486
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,440
not. As I said, listen to the government

487
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
instead. Um, I have been a volunteer

488
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,159
firefighter. I've been a first aid

489
00:21:40,159 --> 00:21:41,600
officer and a building warden and I've

490
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,520
had a bunch of training in this. So

491
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,559
maybe I do have something that hopefully

492
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:49,280
is not at least not harmful to say. What

493
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,559
is an everyday emergency? A minor

494
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:53,919
physical injury in daily life or

495
00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:56,000
physical recreation, a traffic accident,

496
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,919
a physical emergency, a fire, or severe

497
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:03,280
weather. Uh the bottom line up front, um

498
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,520
if I ran out of time right now, you

499
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,840
should be making a plan for all of the

500
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,159
emergencies that might apply to you. You

501
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:12,960
need to figure out what equipment

502
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,280
um and skills you need to deal with the

503
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,080
emergency, how to take care of that

504
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,039
equipment, and how to use it. And then

505
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,880
you need regular retraining and

506
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,360
exercise.

507
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,280
What are the emergencies? Emergencies at

508
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760
home, the things you need to care about.

509
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480
what is in your home. Um, your home is

510
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,880
something that you might be responsible

511
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,640
for and so you're also responsible for

512
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280
everything in it. So for you, your

513
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,919
relatives, children, pets, necessities

514
00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:45,840
of daily life and valuable positions,

515
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,240
valuable possessions, possible home

516
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,400
emergencies, fire, weather damage,

517
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480
utilities, outage,

518
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,880
bottom lab front, still the same thing.

519
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,799
Specifically in a fire, what do you

520
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,159
prioritize? Um,

521
00:23:00,159 --> 00:23:03,039
maybe not the pets, maybe not the

522
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:04,960
valuable possessions, but everything

523
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,640
else. You should have a smoke alarm.

524
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,240
Most people have this because it's

525
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,840
required by law. If you're renting, your

526
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,919
landlord should take care of that. But

527
00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:18,960
do what you need to do. You should also

528
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,480
have a fire blanket and a fire

529
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,000
extinguisher. Those are not expensive.

530
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,440
$40 you're in for both.

531
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Consider the risk areas. The biggest

532
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,280
risk area is your kitchen. Second

533
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,960
biggest risk area is your dryer because

534
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,640
dryer lint is incredibly flammable.

535
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Also, other electrical appliances.

536
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,400
In a fire emergency,

537
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,200
your only job is to leave and get out.

538
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,360
Um,

539
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,360
there are some caveats to that. I'll get

540
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,760
to them. Um, try to avoid inhaling

541
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,159
smoke. closed doors behind you. Alert

542
00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:56,080
others and help them leave as well.

543
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,159
Fight fire only if it's safe to do so

544
00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:01,039
and you're trained. Always call triple0

545
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:02,880
and wait for firefighters to attend and

546
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,080
ensure everything is safe.

547
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,559
If there is a fire, you might think it's

548
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:10,080
out. It might not be out. It might be in

549
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,000
a wall cavity that you can't see. You

550
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,679
might not be able to see smoke or smell

551
00:24:13,679 --> 00:24:15,760
anything. Might still be there.

552
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,799
Firefighters will make it safe. Link

553
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:22,080
here for resources.

554
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,320
Emergencies at home. The most common

555
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,960
injury, DIY injury. Um, do not get onto

556
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,640
ladders. If you do have to get onto

557
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,880
letters, do it safely. Um, threepoint

558
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
methods at all times.

559
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,120
You've got two two arms, two legs. Three

560
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:40,720
of those should be in contact with the

561
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,480
letter at all times. And of course, the

562
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,039
letter should be set up safely. Step

563
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:47,840
stools, be very careful. Office chairs,

564
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,120
don't even think about it. Consider

565
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,960
safety before using power tools and

566
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,720
rotating appliances. Anything that

567
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,640
rotates can catch your clothing or your

568
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,039
hair. If you have children, you should

569
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:03,600
be childproof in your home. Fractures,

570
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,600
immobilize and go to hospital. Burns,

571
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,520
run under cold water for much longer

572
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080
than you think is reasonable. Don't just

573
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,919
pour a bit on it and go, "Oh, it'll be

574
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:15,120
fine." No, you will thank me later. You

575
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,279
will be much more happy if you run it

576
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,039
actually underwater as the authorities

577
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:22,159
say for 20 minutes. Take a first a

578
00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:23,840
course where you will learn all this and

579
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,559
much more. $100

580
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:28,960
every 3 years.

581
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,000
Do CPI refresher every year also costs

582
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,679
$100.

583
00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:37,760
It's kind of expensive but once a year.

584
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
Uh emerge this in the workplace. This is

585
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,600
where the caveat came in. In the

586
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,440
workplace, you have specific legal

587
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,279
obligations.

588
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,840
Um, this is according to work health and

589
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,840
safety law that your employer should be

590
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,960
telling you about. Follow the policies.

591
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,559
Know how to contact the people you need

592
00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:56,400
to contact. Traffic accident. Do not

593
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,520
just drive past. Physical emergencies.

594
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,600
Get first aid skill. Ensure your own

595
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,679
safety.

596
00:26:03,679 --> 00:26:06,122
Mental health emergency. This is

597
00:26:06,122 --> 00:26:08,143
[applause]

598
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,360
hands up.

599
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,279
Thank you so much, Luke. That was a I

600
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:14,880
thought that was a really fant fantastic

601
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,640
presentation, but I have just heard from

602
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,679
my cat, and she does have some notes.

603
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:21,679
Um, on deck, we have Andrew Williams.

604
00:26:21,679 --> 00:26:24,463
But up next is Evan.

605
00:26:24,463 --> 00:26:25,600
[applause]

606
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,799
Hello, I'm Evan, and three weeks ago, I

607
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:31,440
ran Australia's first and only tech

608
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,440
conference on Snow. Yeah. [applause]

609
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,520
And we had so much fun.

610
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720
We had gorgeous accommodation,

611
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,679
talks that were enjoyable

612
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:48,640
and networking in a cute venue. There

613
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,760
was even swag and most importantly

614
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,559
humbling feedback to run it again. So

615
00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,200
that's a short story. For a long story,

616
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,159
you can see the blog on

617
00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,400
snowgumsummit.com.

618
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,559
And if you wish you were there, deposits

619
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:05,039
open for 2027.

620
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:07,279
But you may be wondering, what did this

621
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:08,960
all take?

622
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,880
Well, bootstrapping a conference in less

623
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,840
than 90 days was not recommended. And

624
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,960
so, I'm here to tell you how to

625
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,559
bootstrap a conference in 90 days or

626
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:20,159
less in 5 minutes or less. Let's go.

627
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:22,159
Treat it like you would a meetup. But

628
00:27:22,159 --> 00:27:24,320
it's not just a meetup. Meetups are held

629
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,159
in the city, around an hour away from

630
00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:28,480
home. In comparison, the snow is around

631
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,039
6 hours away from home. People don't

632
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,039
just turn up. You need a lot more

633
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:35,840
commitment. Okay. So, how do you

634
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,320
bootstrap a conference? First, you reach

635
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,559
out to your wonderful community and you

636
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,039
promise them you organize

637
00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:45,279
everything for them like accommodation,

638
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,760
travel, lift passes, rentals, at which

639
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,480
point your friend says, "Good luck.

640
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,360
You're doing the Lord's work."

641
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,200
And so, no, you just promise them you

642
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,039
organize the most important things such

643
00:27:57,039 --> 00:27:58,960
as

644
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,720
accommodation.

645
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,720
So, you find a nice cozy place with a

646
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,520
big TV. Actually, no. uh you find lots

647
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,360
of places with different amounts of beds

648
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,880
that have free cancellation because

649
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,960
you're adamant on running this and you

650
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,320
never know for certain how many people

651
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,520
will drop out. Okay, so you've booked a

652
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,240
place, you have some interest, but now

653
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,480
you need to figure out who really loves

654
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,279
you. [laughter]

655
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,039
And you do this by asking people to put

656
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:26,949
their money where their mouth is.

657
00:28:26,949 --> 00:28:27,679
[laughter]

658
00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:31,360
And now you have $50 deposits. Yay. To

659
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,840
which your friend says, "Have you ever

660
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,039
heard of the tale of Icarus?"

661
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:39,679
A fun fact, my family is from the island

662
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:43,039
where Icarus fell after flying too close

663
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:45,840
to the sun, which should explain quite a

664
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,640
bit about me. At this point, my partner

665
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640
is like, "Isn't this just a maid trip?

666
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,120
Wh why are you bothering with all this?"

667
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Well, this maid strip wants to give out

668
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,080
tax invoices.

669
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,080
[laughter]

670
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,679
So, what do you need to do for an

671
00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:01,760
official event with a tax invoice? An

672
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,360
ABN.

673
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,679
It's free if you answer many difficult

674
00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:07,520
questions and then you become an

675
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,760
unincorporated non for profofit. And if

676
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,760
you're wondering what does that mean?

677
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,279
Well, strap in cuz we're going to talk

678
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:15,840
about insurance, [laughter]

679
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,159
public liability insurance. Because once

680
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:21,440
you operate under a company, you become

681
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,880
liable for everything that happens at

682
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
the event. That is to say, if an

683
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,760
attendee somehow managed to get hurt,

684
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,440
you could blame me and that would suck.

685
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,880
And so, this insurance thing is a

686
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,120
non-negotiable. And so, the first quote

687
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,520
I got was $856,

688
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,600
which would have made me broke. But

689
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,360
thankfully, the final quote I found was

690
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,520
$273, which is great because it means

691
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,679
you can't sue me. Please do not test

692
00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:46,320
this. Thank you very much. But now you

693
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,679
have insurance which means you got to

694
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:49,520
start reading the fine print like no

695
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,600
events or parties from the Airbnb you

696
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,120
had a book to run your presentations

697
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,039
from. So according to your insurance

698
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,440
Airbnb is not your venue anymore and now

699
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,360
you call up a bunch of places mostly

700
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,520
pubs which give you responses that vary

701
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,000
from no to pay us lots of money. Uh and

702
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
thankfully the snowman council has your

703
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,520
back and is like why not our beautiful

704
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,520
library.

705
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,440
So to close this out, I have to say I've

706
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,440
grown really fond of snow gums as a

707
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,679
result. They're just so perfectly

708
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:20,320
imperfect. The time to talk about all of

709
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,240
the other imperfections,

710
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,000
like how we almost didn't have swag

711
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,960
until 4 hours before the event started.

712
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,559
And I think that says a lot about the

713
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:31,200
summit as well. It was the first time.

714
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,279
There's going to be imperfections. I

715
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:35,360
don't even have Needless to say, it's

716
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,640
been fun, stressful fun. And so if you'd

717
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,039
like to do this, it might help if you

718
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,799
start organizing just a tad earlier.

719
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,279
And throughout this time, this quote has

720
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,600
been stuck in my head because if you're

721
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,360
trying to organize a conference in less

722
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,320
than 3 months, you need to go fast and

723
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
you need to go alone. And that's okay

724
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,720
because it's just [laughter] the first

725
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880
inception. But if you want to make

726
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,640
tickets more valuable, if you want to

727
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,640
reach more people, if you want to go far

728
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,840
into the future, you got to go together.

729
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,411
Thank you. [applause]

730
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:16,159
Thank you. Thank you, Evan.

731
00:31:16,159 --> 00:31:19,039
Thank you, Evan. Uh, no matter how bad

732
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,120
the track work is this weekend, I

733
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,960
guarantee you will find it easier to get

734
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,520
here uh than you will to get to Evan's

735
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,440
conference.

736
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Uh, next up on deck we've got uh

737
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,626
Lorenzo, but right now we've got Andrew.

738
00:31:33,626 --> 00:31:35,646
[applause]

739
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,519
Hi, I'm Andrew. Um, my day job at the

740
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:41,039
moment is a radio astronomer on a radio

741
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:42,720
telescope up in the Merchesen. In a

742
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,240
previous life, I worked on a real

743
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,679
telescope, one that didn't involve

744
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:47,919
imaginary numbers and fer transforms.

745
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:50,240
Uh, so I'm going to talk to you about

746
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,480
dust. Dust, uh, interstellar [snorts]

747
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,320
dust is what we're all made of. We're

748
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,919
all our planets are made of interstellar

749
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:56,960
dust. This is a picture of an

750
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,720
interstellar dust grain about 100th of a

751
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,120
millimeter across. Dust in space starts

752
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,159
when a star explodes. The uh elements

753
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:06,240
with a higher uh boiling temperature

754
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,159
condense first and little dust grains.

755
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,480
Some of them are rocky as silicon, iron,

756
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,399
magnesium. And some of them are like the

757
00:32:12,399 --> 00:32:14,159
black stuff you scrape off a barbecue

758
00:32:14,159 --> 00:32:15,760
plate. They're polyyclic aromatic

759
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,279
hydrocarbons.

760
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:19,840
After that, you get condensing around

761
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,679
them, the lower temperature elements. So

762
00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:23,760
you get carbon dioxide ice, water ice,

763
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,240
methane ice. So basically all of space

764
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,919
is filled with these snowflakes, tiny

765
00:32:27,919 --> 00:32:29,919
grains of mineral or carbon dust

766
00:32:29,919 --> 00:32:32,399
surrounded by ice. And that's what we

767
00:32:32,399 --> 00:32:34,720
see when we take an astrophotograph.

768
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,399
Anybody from Australia will recognize

769
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:38,799
this as a constellation of the saucepan.

770
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:40,640
Uh you might know it as Orion if you're

771
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,159
from the northern hemisphere. You can

772
00:32:42,159 --> 00:32:43,760
see the three bright stars at the bottom

773
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,080
are Orion's belt. And if you're in the

774
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,440
northern hemisphere, you'd see it upside

775
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,760
down. And those three stars at the top

776
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,320
are his sword hanging down below his

777
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,480
belt. And if you've ever looked through

778
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,880
a telescope, you will have seen that

779
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,880
bright fuzzy object in the middle of the

780
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,039
belt. That's the Great Nebula in Orion.

781
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:02,480
But I'm going to be talking about the

782
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,200
little hint of red down below the the

783
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,240
right hand side of those three stars.

784
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120
So, we zoom in a bit. [snorts]

785
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,039
You can see the stars and then you can

786
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:16,880
see the red glowing stuff. And right up

787
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,320
the top, we can see what we're going to

788
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,640
look at next, the Horses Nebula. And the

789
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,559
colors come from a range of different

790
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:25,120
things. The blue in this case comes from

791
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,440
bright blue stars. Blue stars tend to be

792
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,519
millions of times brighter than redder

793
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,440
colored stars. So you can see the blue

794
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,279
light from the stars themselves

795
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:35,840
reflecting off the dust. And the red

796
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,320
light is glowing hydrogen gas. Just like

797
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,320
sodium gas in a sodium lamp glows

798
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,200
orange, hydrogen gas glows red when it's

799
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,240
uh excited by ultraviolet light.

800
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,559
So, let's look a little bit closer just

801
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:51,840
at that top right hand star in the belt.

802
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,679
That's just off the the screen down

803
00:33:53,679 --> 00:33:56,960
below the left. And you can see the

804
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Horsead Nebula up there. What we're

805
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,640
looking at, you got to imagine in 3D

806
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,240
you're looking at a sheet of gas at

807
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,360
about a 45° angle. This star here at the

808
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,039
bottom left is in front of it. It's

809
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:09,679
closer to us than the gas is. So, the

810
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:11,839
light shining backwards and reflecting

811
00:34:11,839 --> 00:34:14,320
the blue light off the dust behind. So,

812
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,480
it's like a projector shining backwards

813
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,440
onto a sheet of dust and lighting it up.

814
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,000
Up the top, we have glowing red hydrogen

815
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,079
gas that's above and in front of the

816
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:26,079
dust that's going behind it. And then

817
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:27,760
sticking up from the middle of that

818
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,560
sheet of dust is that Horseadair Nebula.

819
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,119
So, it's a sheet of dust with a a lump

820
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:35,919
of dust sticking up out of it. Above the

821
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:37,919
the dust that's still reflecting some

822
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:39,599
blue light, which is why you can see it.

823
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,359
It's partially reflecting light and it's

824
00:34:41,359 --> 00:34:43,200
partially blocking light from the the

825
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,280
glowing hydrogen. Behind you can see the

826
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,879
horse head itself and that's just a

827
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:49,280
pillar of dust. And right up in the top

828
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,760
corner you can see a little uh star

829
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,240
peeking out of the top of the dust.

830
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:56,320
That's actually a newly formed star.

831
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,480
What happens is when stars form they

832
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,880
form in these clouds of gas and dust and

833
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,480
then they switch on and they blow the

834
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,040
gas and dust away.

835
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,000
So here we can see that that star up in

836
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,079
the top of the Horses Nebula is actually

837
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:12,240
in a little cup. It's illuminating the

838
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,000
inside of that cup of dust and uh it's

839
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,839
starting to blow the dust away around

840
00:35:17,839 --> 00:35:20,320
it. You can see these faint red blobs.

841
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,240
They're stars that are still inside the

842
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,480
dust. You can just barely see them

843
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:29,079
through this thick blocking dust.

844
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,000
And then here we can see what it could

845
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,720
look like if you could move your head by

846
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,880
some hundreds of light years. This is

847
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,960
real astrophotography

848
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,760
only they've uh taken each of the

849
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,760
objects in the picture worked out the 3D

850
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,599
position using the distance the known

851
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:48,079
distance to the star and then modeled

852
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:50,079
how it would look if you could bump up

853
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:52,400
and down by a few hundred lightyears. So

854
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,160
you can see the pillars of dust are

855
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,560
facing inwards. Inside that bubble of

856
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,079
dust is oxygen that's being excited by

857
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,160
ultraviolet light from the stars inside.

858
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,680
And you're looking at the reflections on

859
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,000
the inside of that bubble. The reflected

860
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,320
light is blue. And on the outside you

861
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,480
can see the hydrogen light glowing. And

862
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,640
then you can see the filaments of dust

863
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,240
that are still kind of pointing inwards

864
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,839
towards the middle as they're being

865
00:36:15,839 --> 00:36:18,400
blown away by the the uh bright stars

866
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,320
that have just been formed.

867
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:21,760
So next time you look at an

868
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,000
astrophotograph, think about it in 3D,

869
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,560
not just in 2D.

870
00:36:27,725 --> 00:36:29,745
[applause]

871
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,839
I never knew that dusk could be so

872
00:36:35,839 --> 00:36:38,720
beautiful, and I'm hoping that one day

873
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:40,320
underneath my sofa will look as

874
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,880
incredible as that. Uh, thank you so

875
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,520
much, Andrew. On deck, we have Beno, but

876
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,880
up next, Lorenzo.

877
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,440
Thank you. Well, hello everyone. Super

878
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,880
happy to be in person in Pyon,

879
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,119
Australia. My name is Lorenzo. I am

880
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:57,280
originally from Olg Cuba, but I'm now

881
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,880
living in Munich. I have been doing

882
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,200
Python mostly Django for 17 years now,

883
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,200
and I'm working as tech lead at Alaska

884
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,119
as a startup based in Munich, whose

885
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:06,800
mission is to bring AI to the real

886
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,680
estate world. End of last year, we

887
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,119
wanted to create a whole new product

888
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:13,119
offering at Alaska. And this product

889
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:14,480
offering required a formula

890
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,440
functionality very similar to Excel. Big

891
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,200
difference with Excel is that instead of

892
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,000
grid of cells, these formulas needed to

893
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,720
operate on trees of node. So even though

894
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,320
there were a few options out there of

895
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,400
formula evaluators we could have used,

896
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,920
we wanted to build small language

897
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,920
ourselves with a mix of known features

898
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,560
and a few new ones and most importantly

899
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,400
be able to iterate fast on the language

900
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,480
itself depending on the feedback of our

901
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,960
customers. By the way, this little demo

902
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,480
you're seeing is not a product itself.

903
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,320
It's just a playground we built to test

904
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,680
the functionality. Yeah, sorry for the

905
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,480
German. The major dilemma we had to

906
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,760
solve was where to build this

907
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,119
functionality. Either in the front end

908
00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:52,720
using TypeScript or in the back end

909
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,040
using Python. We knew we needed to

910
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,480
evaluate these formulas in the front end

911
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,839
to be able to display the results

912
00:37:57,839 --> 00:37:59,920
blazingly fast to the user. But we also

913
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,079
had a few ideas of interesting things we

914
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,240
could do only in the back end. There was

915
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,560
also the possibility of doing it on both

916
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,119
sides. I mean with AI assisted coding it

917
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:11,040
would have been doable but you know if

918
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,960
you want to do a formula language right

919
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,720
with a grammar a parser and all the

920
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:16,560
compiler stuff let's say that this is

921
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,320
not exactly the kind of code you want to

922
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,720
be synchronizing between two languages

923
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:22,960
with different tooling so I talked to my

924
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,359
agents we came up with a plan and for

925
00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:27,200
the first time in my tenure at Alaska

926
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,720
probably in my whole career I actually

927
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:30,800
had a legitimate reason to propose not a

928
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,480
back end not a front end but what we

929
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,920
call drum rolls the rust end

930
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,640
rust

931
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,960
had been gaining some traction back

932
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,359
then, now even more. One could say it's

933
00:38:41,359 --> 00:38:43,599
a bit sparkly, trendy. AI seems to be

934
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:45,680
pretty good at it. And of course, it

935
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,520
makes it relatively easy to generate

936
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,920
code for both Python and web assembly.

937
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,920
So the same Rust codebase would be able

938
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,760
to produce a package we could run in

939
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,680
back end and a package we could use in

940
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,280
the front end without any duplication.

941
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,960
So we did it. It's been running in

942
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,760
production for half a year now. And you

943
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,119
can do it too if the need arises. This

944
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:06,800
is how you would do it in a nutshell.

945
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,960
You create a new cargo package. You add

946
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,599
pio3 for the Python bindings. You add

947
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:14,640
was benjon for the web assembly stuff.

948
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,320
And this is how you build it. Well, at

949
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480
least on my machine. But you can talk to

950
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,240
your agents. They will know how to do it

951
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,160
anywhere. What is important is not to

952
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,880
mix all three things in the codebase. So

953
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,480
important is to keep a well- definfined

954
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,280
logic in Rust that is standalone and is

955
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,359
capable of doing everything. Only then

956
00:39:31,359 --> 00:39:33,680
provide the bindings for each world.

957
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,079
This is what we put inside the ROSS core

958
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:37,760
because it's a tree we're operating

959
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,839
with. We needed a way to represent the

960
00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:43,359
nodes and the entry point function to do

961
00:39:43,359 --> 00:39:44,640
the whole evaluation. There's a lot

962
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,800
going on, but not enough time for that.

963
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,760
Now, careful with your eye now.

964
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,760
For the Python binding, we do it the way

965
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,599
PI3 suggests here. We're defining a

966
00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:54,880
function that will be visible from

967
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,560
Python. Does a little bit of object

968
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,880
validation transformation calls the core

969
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,040
function in Rust we just saw. And then

970
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,720
we also make it available as a Python

971
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,800
module. You would then be able to do

972
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,760
from my formulas import evaluate tree

973
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160
for web assembly. It's actually quite

974
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,320
similar interface processing of input

975
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,480
and output and calling the same ROS

976
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,599
function except there is a module here.

977
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:19,599
So you would take care of that later

978
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:22,079
while bundling the files into a package.

979
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:24,400
So yeah, there is more much to this

980
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,960
story than what I can fit in 5 minutes.

981
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,640
So if you're interested in getting a

982
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,320
wider perspective, there will be a link

983
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,079
to a post we made in the technical blog

984
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:34,240
of the company. At the end, I guess this

985
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,640
is what we did after all. And that's the

986
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,248
roster for you. Thank you very much.

987
00:40:39,248 --> 00:40:41,268
[applause]

988
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,680
Oh, we're getting better at that. Uh I

989
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:48,880
don't have equip this time. That was

990
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,760
just really cool. Uh on deck we've got

991
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,280
Liz. Uh but right now we've got Beno.

992
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,933
Hey Beno.

993
00:40:56,933 --> 00:40:57,839
[applause]

994
00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:00,960
Hello. Hello. Oh, look. So, yes, this is

995
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,680
a talk about art. Um, [snorts] I am of

996
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,560
course a noted scholar of art. Um, and

997
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,640
from my uh my extensive and deeply

998
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,480
researched understanding of art, I know

999
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,440
that art is about choices. And so, last

1000
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,200
year at Kiwi Pyon, um, my esteemed my

1001
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,280
esteemed colleague Chris Noabower and

1002
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,800
myself were staying at the same hotel

1003
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,480
and we ran into each other at breakfast.

1004
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,319
And while we were there, we saw some

1005
00:41:24,319 --> 00:41:27,280
art.

1006
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,280
the hotel. You know, they someone chose

1007
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,640
this piece. They put that there. That's

1008
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,520
a choice. They also chose this one. This

1009
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,400
is the one that drove us insane. This is

1010
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,480
art. There's so many choices in this

1011
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,119
piece. Let's look at some. I mean, let's

1012
00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:42,960
let's talk perspective because it took

1013
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,960
me ages to work out that that these two

1014
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,880
olives are playing limbo with a golf

1015
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,400
club.

1016
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,760
Um, but let's also talk about lighting

1017
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,040
cuz you can see that we've got a light

1018
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,839
source there. Um, and then there's

1019
00:41:55,839 --> 00:41:57,680
what's that? And where are these shadows

1020
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,319
coming from in Okay, don't worry about

1021
00:42:00,319 --> 00:42:02,640
that. Um, but looking elsewhere, back up

1022
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,319
here, like is that a ring light? I Yeah.

1023
00:42:06,319 --> 00:42:09,200
Anyway, but back down here some, you

1024
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,040
know, some other choices down here.

1025
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,960
These two olives are wearing clothes.

1026
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,079
This one is wearing heels.

1027
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:20,560
This one appears to have removed part of

1028
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,640
a bikini.

1029
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,640
From this we can assume two things and

1030
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,280
none of them are good. The first is that

1031
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,800
the two female coated olives are naked.

1032
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,040
The second is that apparently the gender

1033
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,040
of an olive is determined as to whether

1034
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:42,960
their um garnish faces up or down.

1035
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,520
So this is a deep deep and disturbing

1036
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:46,960
thought which is what art is meant to

1037
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,720
do. And so we of course need to move on

1038
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,560
to thinking about the artist. And so let

1039
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,000
me introduce you to Michael Godard. Um,

1040
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,079
so researching art is always about, you

1041
00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:57,440
know, looking for primary sources. And

1042
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,800
so we go to his website. Now, this might

1043
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,720
be because I'm old, but this feels like

1044
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,000
it has a soundtrack, this picture. Um,

1045
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,680
um, but if we look at this media bit

1046
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,359
here, there's some photos. Let's have a

1047
00:43:09,359 --> 00:43:11,599
look at his photos here. Oh, celebrities

1048
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:13,440
and friends. All right. Oh, hey, that's

1049
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,440
Oussie Osborne. Um, if you don't know

1050
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,800
who that is, ask your dad. Um, I don't

1051
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,560
know who these people are, but I assume

1052
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,440
they're related to a Rambo movie. This

1053
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,119
one I just I if anyone's seen One Battle

1054
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:29,520
After Another, this is gives me

1055
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,319
Christmas Adventurers Club vibes.

1056
00:43:32,319 --> 00:43:35,280
That person's seen it. Um, but he seems

1057
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,160
a bit out of place there. Anyway, um,

1058
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,160
let's have a look at um, some of his

1059
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,760
actual paintings here. So, let's have a

1060
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:47,000
look here. What? What? Um,

1061
00:43:47,359 --> 00:43:51,440
respect the olives, I guess. Um, but but

1062
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,720
you know, art is about choices. And the

1063
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:53,920
choice I take the most issue with here

1064
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,480
is what the hell is that?

1065
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,240
Um, but anyway, back to gender. Um,

1066
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,599
we've established through rigorous

1067
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:04,319
analysis that olives have gender. Um,

1068
00:44:04,319 --> 00:44:07,119
religion is also here apparently. Um, we

1069
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:09,040
have the eternal struggle here something

1070
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,200
or other. Um, but you know, artists grow

1071
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,720
and evolve and discover new things and

1072
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,160
about themselves and the world. And at

1073
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,359
some point, Michael discovers there are

1074
00:44:15,359 --> 00:44:17,119
multiple ways to depict gender in art.

1075
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:21,880
Yes, sometimes girl is strawberry.

1076
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,560
And I'm starting to get an idea about

1077
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,599
Michael's worldview here. Um, this piece

1078
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:29,359
appears to be some kind of tptic, uh,

1079
00:44:29,359 --> 00:44:30,640
clearly about someone's search for

1080
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,720
identity and self-improvement, followed

1081
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:34,319
by the realization that they're already

1082
00:44:34,319 --> 00:44:37,440
awesome, so why bother? Um, it's also

1083
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,880
important in art to acknowledge your

1084
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,560
influences and other great historical

1085
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,359
works.

1086
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:45,520
Um, but yeah, Michael is also humble

1087
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,880
enough to reference several great

1088
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,800
masterworks

1089
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,040
more than once,

1090
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,480
the 13 genders.

1091
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,000
But this is all my opinion. I wonder

1092
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,599
what other, you know, highly esteemed

1093
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:01,760
art knowers say. Um, oh,

1094
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,119
uh, if you really want to know, it's an

1095
00:45:03,119 --> 00:45:04,560
olive pole dancing on the stem of a

1096
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,640
martini glass. This piece is called

1097
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,480
Dirty Martini.

1098
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:09,760
Uh, but wait, you know, there's further

1099
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,839
discussion below this that I found. Um,

1100
00:45:11,839 --> 00:45:13,440
whoever owned this definitely wore their

1101
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,160
hair in a greasy ponytail. Um, or they

1102
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,960
like Vegas or worked in a bar and um,

1103
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,359
you know, whatever. Um, my cousin's ex

1104
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:22,800
had this painting. He was a bartender

1105
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,240
and had a greasy ponytail

1106
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,079
and Yeah. Anyway, um they didn't end up

1107
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,079
buying it, but yes, if you want to learn

1108
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:33,599
more of this titan of the art world, he

1109
00:45:33,599 --> 00:45:35,359
has an autobiography, Don't Drink and

1110
00:45:35,359 --> 00:45:37,200
Draw.

1111
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,560
Um but

1112
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,960
he also has a collection of his own

1113
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,560
quotes called You're in My World Now,

1114
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,359
and I'm terrified that he's right. Thank

1115
00:45:49,359 --> 00:45:51,031
you,

1116
00:45:51,031 --> 00:45:53,051
[applause]

1117
00:45:58,891 --> 00:45:59,280
[snorts]

1118
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,720
Thank Thank you. I think

1119
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:04,640
I'm I'm

1120
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,560
honestly the most upset by the

1121
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,680
implication of the the olive with the

1122
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,920
bra kind of implying that olives are

1123
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,720
mammals. [laughter]

1124
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,160
And I don't know what to make of that

1125
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,319
information. While I go and contemplate

1126
00:46:18,319 --> 00:46:20,560
that, Andrew Godwin is on deck. Up next

1127
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,782
is Liz Vong Jones.

1128
00:46:23,782 --> 00:46:24,960
[applause]

1129
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,839
Hi everyone. I'm Liz and I'm a massive

1130
00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:30,400
geek.

1131
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,839
So, if I can get this to work. Um, I

1132
00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:35,839
love airplanes most of the time except

1133
00:46:35,839 --> 00:46:38,960
for also I am a podcaster. And the

1134
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,520
challenge is that um the airplanes like

1135
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,200
to go overhead of my house. We'll talk

1136
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,280
about why in a second. But I would like

1137
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:46,720
at least some advanced warning, maybe,

1138
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,640
you know, 30 seconds, 45 seconds before

1139
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,400
the house starts shaking of whether I

1140
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,599
should go outside or whether I should

1141
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:53,920
shake my fist and uh curse Emirates.

1142
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,000
This A380 is the nemesis of my life. It

1143
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,839
goes over my house at 6:15 in the

1144
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:00,240
morning every single morning.

1145
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:01,839
So, this is a standard instrument

1146
00:47:01,839 --> 00:47:04,640
departure. It is the uh data sheet for

1147
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,880
how airplane pilots know how to safely

1148
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040
depart from an airspace. And in this

1149
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,440
case, um, you can see that this is the,

1150
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,760
uh, left runway, runway 34 left at

1151
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Sydney, and it has instructions for how

1152
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,319
to precisely navigate your way over my

1153
00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:20,960
house and then onwards, you know, to

1154
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,240
other points. So, it's called the

1155
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:23,760
Richmond departure because you go

1156
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,079
towards Richmond.

1157
00:47:26,079 --> 00:47:28,240
So this is roughly what that looks like.

1158
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,800
Uh overdrawn on a real map and not a

1159
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,400
fake aviation map that has no

1160
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,680
correlation to actual things on the

1161
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,480
ground. So my house is somewhere in that

1162
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,640
blue circle. And as you can see that

1163
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,240
does not give me very much warning time

1164
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,319
to figure out how long is it going to be

1165
00:47:42,319 --> 00:47:44,240
until an airplane shows up because

1166
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:45,920
sometimes airplanes sit on the end of

1167
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,079
the uh runway waiting to take off before

1168
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:49,920
they actually take off. Sometimes there

1169
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,079
are airplanes that are arriving for

1170
00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:53,440
landings. There are all kinds of things

1171
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,720
that go into whether or not an airplane

1172
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,880
is a very expensive way, which is to get

1173
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,800
this company from the US to resell you a

1174
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,640
piece of hardware that was created in

1175
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,480
China and they ship to the US to install

1176
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,160
firmware and they ship it back to you in

1177
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,040
Australia and it's several hundred and

1178
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,800
we can do a lot better than that because

1179
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,319
we're Australia and we have access to

1180
00:48:16,319 --> 00:48:18,640
cheap stuff from China.

1181
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,359
So this is the uh this is the Alonzi

1182
00:48:21,359 --> 00:48:26,640
clock and it is a 256 bit uh 256 pixel

1183
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,800
uh clock and you can use it to draw

1184
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,640
patterns and draw shapes and letters. So

1185
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,319
I said I'm going to go and get one of

1186
00:48:32,319 --> 00:48:36,520
these and see what I can do with it.

1187
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,240
to actually

1188
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,800
figure this out. But I will note

1189
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,480
it right on the first try or the second

1190
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,960
try or the third try or the fourth try.

1191
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,720
So there was still a lot of that trial

1192
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,480
and error and fun that we got out of

1193
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,400
hobby programming even though I was not

1194
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,760
myself writing individual lines of code.

1195
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,680
So a couple of pitfalls I ran into.

1196
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,280
Pitfall number one. I thought naively

1197
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,680
that if I just filtered for flights that

1198
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,520
were departing Sydney according to the

1199
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,599
flight tracking information that came

1200
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:21,119
within a certain radius of my house that

1201
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,359
would work sufficiently well. And then

1202
00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:24,400
there were a couple of times that

1203
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,839
roaring happened over my house and there

1204
00:49:25,839 --> 00:49:26,880
was nothing on the display and I was

1205
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,880
like what the heck happened? And it

1206
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,040
turns out that a lot of the databases

1207
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,880
show for one flight number only one

1208
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,960
origin and departure airport and turns

1209
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,480
out that Emirates likes to fly a flight

1210
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,559
to Auckland via Sydney. So that doesn't

1211
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:41,280
work so well. So instead, we w up having

1212
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,200
to do 3D projection through space to

1213
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,880
figure out where's the airplane going to

1214
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,359
be while still giving me enough warning

1215
00:49:47,359 --> 00:49:50,240
before my podcast gets interrupted.

1216
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:52,319
Okay. Secondly,

1217
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:55,280
airplane data is very very messy. See

1218
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,760
previous slide. So for instance, quantis

1219
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,079
link flights emit the first digit of the

1220
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:01,280
flight number that you'll see, you know,

1221
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,960
listed as quantis 2xx or 1xx. So I

1222
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,640
originally guessed well oh quantis link

1223
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,680
flight surely it's just quantis 2xx

1224
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,920
where xxx is is the uh quantis link

1225
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,480
flight number right right nah that

1226
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:15,760
didn't work so I had to do a bunch of

1227
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,200
algorithms to uh figure out what

1228
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,359
actually would work

1229
00:50:19,359 --> 00:50:23,040
and also hardware from China is cheap

1230
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,800
and hardware from China cuts certain

1231
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,040
shortcuts for instance it does not have

1232
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,200
enough RAM to do a traditional TLS

1233
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,920
handshake you actually have to get micro

1234
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,720
TLS installed and you have to skip

1235
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,960
certificate validation

1236
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,960
because the IoT provider that I was

1237
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,040
using required you to use TLS if I

1238
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,160
wanted Amazon uh IoT core to work. So

1239
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,960
lots of fun discoveries around uh how do

1240
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,280
you actually get TLS to work on a little

1241
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,240
device so that it works correctly.

1242
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:55,440
But this is the result.

1243
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,119
So you can look and there's the airplane

1244
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:01,520
and I have the uh place that it's going

1245
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,760
to. Uh so in this case that one's going

1246
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,800
off to uh Hanetta airport in Tokyo and

1247
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,559
it says right like you know that is the

1248
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:10,240
uh kind of aircraft it is right like it

1249
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:14,079
is a QF 59 Hanetta triple 3 uh Airbus

1250
00:51:14,079 --> 00:51:16,640
330 300.

1251
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,900
Thank you very much. [applause]

1252
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:25,599
Thank you very much Liz. And if only the

1253
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:27,520
boarding gate announcements at uh

1254
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,280
Melbourne airport were as accurate as

1255
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,280
that, I would have much smoother

1256
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,240
flights. Uh on deck, we have Jack

1257
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:37,200
Skinner, but right now we've got Andrew

1258
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,920
uh Andrew Godwin.

1259
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,400
Hello. Hi everyone. I'm here to give you

1260
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,079
some useful advice. But first of all, a

1261
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:46,000
bit of background. I live in Colorado.

1262
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,680
It's a wonderful state. What country is

1263
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:48,800
it in? We're not going to talk about

1264
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,319
what country is in. The state is

1265
00:51:50,319 --> 00:51:51,839
wonderful.

1266
00:51:51,839 --> 00:51:54,640
in in Colorado in the area in red. I

1267
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,079
help volunteer with mountain rescue.

1268
00:51:56,079 --> 00:51:57,839
It's one of my side things I do because

1269
00:51:57,839 --> 00:52:00,160
I have too many hobbies. Um people think

1270
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,160
of mountain rescue as mostly things like

1271
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,640
helicopters. It's very fancy and you

1272
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,000
know this is good. We do have this is

1273
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,839
flight for life. They're fantastic. But

1274
00:52:07,839 --> 00:52:10,480
most of mountain rescue is just us

1275
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:11,760
turning up with this thing called a

1276
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,200
litter which is basically a stretcher

1277
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,480
with a wheel on it and walking for like

1278
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,720
5 hours. And so what I want to tell you

1279
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,720
here today is a few tips about how to be

1280
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:20,480
safe in mountainous terrain. That could

1281
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,000
be here in Australia, that could be

1282
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,319
somewhere close by, say in New Zealand,

1283
00:52:24,319 --> 00:52:26,319
that could be in the US or Europe or

1284
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:28,720
other places as well. But before that, I

1285
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:30,480
want to start talking about the risk

1286
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,800
matrix. Yes, there is some sign of logic

1287
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,400
here. If you're not familiar, this is

1288
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,000
how you should assess risk on almost

1289
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,079
anything you tackle. Be it in your

1290
00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:40,000
business, be it in real life. Uh there

1291
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,160
are two axes, the likelihood and the

1292
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,319
consequence. Bad advice will tell you

1293
00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:46,559
this that you should do low consequence

1294
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:48,880
activities like staying at home and not

1295
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,200
doing anything. Unfortunately, the top

1296
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,839
axis is also the axis of fun and so we

1297
00:52:53,839 --> 00:52:56,240
can't really do that. And so you kind of

1298
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:58,960
end up locked in to like the high

1299
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,559
consequence stuff. That's where like

1300
00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:02,000
most mountaineering and other things

1301
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,640
live um and aviation as we saw. And so

1302
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,800
your goal is just to take within that

1303
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,559
column and try and reduce your

1304
00:53:08,559 --> 00:53:10,400
likelihood as much as possible. And

1305
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,760
people think like they think, "Oh, what

1306
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,119
what are the dangers out in the back

1307
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:14,640
country in the wilderness?" They think

1308
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,200
of the megaporna, right? In the US, we

1309
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,520
have the bears and other things. In

1310
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:20,880
Australia, people are scared of

1311
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,040
crocodiles and similar. Um, New Zealand

1312
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,000
has the fearsome kiwi. Uh, oh, hang on.

1313
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,400
There we go. That's better.

1314
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,440
Um, but the real dangers are much more

1315
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,680
normal than this. Uh, and there's a few

1316
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,319
basic things. First of all, yes, you do

1317
00:53:36,319 --> 00:53:38,800
need to carry water. I know it's heavy,

1318
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,400
but if you're at high altitude or

1319
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,160
somewhere very dry like the outback here

1320
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,160
in Australia, you need quite a lot of

1321
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,920
it. Probably a couple of liters at

1322
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,760
minimum if you're out for half a day.

1323
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,559
And a lot of people don't carry water

1324
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:52,640
and do a lot of exertion and then get

1325
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,960
heat exhaustion or they get dehydrated.

1326
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,359
It's a bad thing. Do this. Secondly,

1327
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:59,920
your phone does have a torch. It's not a

1328
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,480
good torch. Uh, do you want to spend

1329
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,640
your battery trying to shine the tiny

1330
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,119
LED through the night when it's also got

1331
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:09,119
your maps and your calling on it? No,

1332
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:10,559
just buy a normal torch and take it with

1333
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:12,319
you, please. We've picked quite a few

1334
00:54:12,319 --> 00:54:13,599
people up who haven't taken a real

1335
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:15,920
torch, and it's it's unfortunate. It's

1336
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,599
bad planning, but, you know, we still go

1337
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:19,599
and pick everyone up. It's a blameree

1338
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:20,960
culture in mountain rescue. It's very

1339
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,960
important. Uh, weather and temperature

1340
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,559
does swing wildly. This is true in the

1341
00:54:24,559 --> 00:54:26,400
mountains and in the deserts in a lot of

1342
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,160
places. Even though it's lovely when you

1343
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,400
leave, it might be sunny. Uh especially

1344
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,400
if you're at high altitude, as soon as

1345
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,000
the sun goes down, it's going to get

1346
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,480
real cold. If you're in Colorado or

1347
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,079
somewhere in the US, it's going to get

1348
00:54:38,079 --> 00:54:39,839
cold in a dry sense. If you're in

1349
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:41,040
somewhere like New Zealand, it'll get

1350
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,440
cold in a very wet sense. Um but it will

1351
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:44,640
still get very cold and you'll be

1352
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,760
unhappy. So don't do that. Uh also, UV

1353
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,440
is just worse. It's already bad here in

1354
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,599
Australia. Um the higher up you go, the

1355
00:54:51,599 --> 00:54:54,160
worse it gets. Uh if you're at 14,000 ft

1356
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,040
or 4,000 m like we have in Colorado, uh

1357
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,720
it's pretty bad. you sunburn pretty

1358
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:00,319
quickly and it's not obviously deadly,

1359
00:55:00,319 --> 00:55:01,440
but it's still going to be

1360
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,599
uncomfortable. And finally, lightning.

1361
00:55:03,599 --> 00:55:05,359
Um, people have this thing like, oh, I

1362
00:55:05,359 --> 00:55:07,760
can I can crouch. It's like, no, there

1363
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,520
is no escaping lightning. It is a

1364
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,440
genuine risk. It's more a risk in sort

1365
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:12,720
of places with big mountains and

1366
00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:14,800
updrafts, but like please just don't go

1367
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,480
out and call lightning like in the

1368
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,079
outback, too. It's bad out there as

1369
00:55:18,079 --> 00:55:20,240
well. But these are all things you can

1370
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:22,880
prevent. And sometimes you just can't

1371
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,400
prevent something. It just happens to

1372
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,319
you. So, if it happens to you, what do

1373
00:55:26,319 --> 00:55:28,000
you do? Let's say you get altitude

1374
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,760
sickness, headache, nausea, common

1375
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,160
signs. The cure is to descend. There's

1376
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,480
no magic cure. Just go down. The nice

1377
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,720
news is basic AMS really kills you, but

1378
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:38,000
you should descend. And there are worse

1379
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,920
versions. So, think about it. If you

1380
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,599
have an extremity injury, hands or legs,

1381
00:55:41,599 --> 00:55:43,520
just immobilize it. Um, if it's your

1382
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,200
legs, bad luck. You need us. If it's

1383
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,640
your arms, maybe you can walk out. If

1384
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,720
you can carry a pack, it depends. If you

1385
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:51,119
get lost, don't keep going. You are

1386
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:52,799
probably going to get more lost. We'd

1387
00:55:52,799 --> 00:55:54,240
rather you stop and you call us and tell

1388
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,520
us where you think you are than getting

1389
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,359
more lost. Otherwise, you'll end up

1390
00:55:57,359 --> 00:55:59,599
usually down a gully. Everyone goes down

1391
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:01,280
gullies and then go, "Oh, no. Down here

1392
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,920
is nothing." Correct. It's bad. Um, but

1393
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,480
finally, the key thing is do not panic.

1394
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,480
You are more survivable than you think.

1395
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,319
Um, you can last 3 hours without

1396
00:56:10,319 --> 00:56:12,240
shelter, 3 days without water, and 3

1397
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:14,160
weeks without food. These are the order

1398
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,760
you should seek these things in in

1399
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,319
extreme weather. So, do that. Make sure

1400
00:56:18,319 --> 00:56:20,160
you call for help sooner rather than

1401
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,079
later. We'd rather come get you when

1402
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:23,920
it's sunny and warm than at 2:00 in the

1403
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,760
morning when it's freezing cold. And

1404
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,160
finally, remember that in here and New

1405
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,640
Zealand and the US and in the UK, but

1406
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,319
weirdly not in Europe, uh, Mountain

1407
00:56:32,319 --> 00:56:34,559
Rescue is always free. Please do call if

1408
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:36,400
you need us. We do quite like coming

1409
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:37,920
picking you up and it's blame free.

1410
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,854
Thank you. [applause]

1411
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,004
Thank you so much, Andrew.

1412
00:56:48,004 --> 00:56:48,799
[sighs]

1413
00:56:48,799 --> 00:56:51,040
And Nick has forgotten that this is his

1414
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,680
cue to be on the stage as well.

1415
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,200
Nick just likes an entrance.

1416
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,079
God damn it. So, thank you so much to

1417
00:57:02,079 --> 00:57:04,319
all of our speakers uh for Lightning

1418
00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:07,839
Talks tonight. Um we do have another

1419
00:57:07,839 --> 00:57:10,720
Lightning Talk session on

1420
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,119
Saturday. Thank you. I'm so thrown off

1421
00:57:13,119 --> 00:57:15,200
by the fact that it's like Wednesday to

1422
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,359
Saturday instead of like the the thing

1423
00:57:17,359 --> 00:57:20,000
we used to do. Um but yeah, there is

1424
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,160
another lightning s

1425
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:23,680
another lightning talk session on

1426
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,079
Saturday. Um if there's anything up here

1427
00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:27,520

1441
00:57:56,559 --> 00:57:59,359
folks and the venue AV team. Lightning

1442
00:57:59,359 --> 00:58:01,920
talks is one of those things where we

00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,000
