Software Internals Meetup v4
If the phrases "Building faster fractional exponents" or "Go Stack Traces from BPF" make you weak at the knees, you've found the right place.
Software Internals is a meetup for engineers, researchers, programmers, and all people in high-tech to learn from one another.
In this monthly meetup, the first half will be lectures, lightning talks, or a reading group, and the second half will be chatting.
We will be covering topics like databases, operating systems, machine learning, programming languages, and more!
This months talks we have:
Speaker 1: Michael Friedberg
Speaker Title: Senior Software Engineer @ Oracle
Topic Title: Save time reusing code with an application boiler plate
Session Description: Michael will discuss the importance of creating reusable components, leveraging Terraform for infrastructure as code, and utilizing Liquibase for database schema management. He will also emphasize the value of toggling environments effectively to optimize cloud resource usage and reduce costs. This comprehensive approach highlights strategies for building efficient, scalable, and cost-effective systems.
Speaker 2:
Tad Duval
Founder, COMMAND
Session Title: Claude "Computer Use" Agents
Session Description: As it turns out, Anthropic has been fine-tuning Claude 3.5 Sonnet on common "computer" tasks like mouse clicking, mouse dragging, image recognition, and shell scripting over the past year. And in early November 2024, along with the announcement of their latest model releases, Anthropic published an Open Source cookbook showcasing how to implement LLM-based "Computer Use" Agents powered by their latest iteration of Claude 3.5 Sonnet. This cookbook represents an innovative development in the realm of A.I. Agents that presents an array of challenges surrounding personal data integrity and privacy which we will explore in addition to demo'ing in detail how "Computer Use" Agents work. This is a session you definitely do NOT want to miss. 🔥
Directions:
Talk to the front desk, let them know you are here for the "Software Internals" event. You will receive a wristband, then proceed to the elevator floor 2, then to the co-working area.
