Time series analysis is a lot in for stock market predictions. Stumpy is a powerful scalable python library (open source) built by TD Ameritrade.
It efficiently (aka Fast, time is money) computes the matric profile.

Evelyn Boettcher will do a deep dive tutorial on Stumpy going through several examples to do shapelet discovery, anomaly detections and semantic segmentation.

Hack Dayton.
A monthly hacker meet-up with a focus on hands on keyboard skill development. Our mission is to provide a community for educating and expanding the offensive cybersecurity industry in the Dayton area.

We spin up simulated corporate environments with built in vulnerabilities to teach and expose our attendees to offensive security/red teaming/penetration testing.

We bring in guest speakers and walk through how to properly asses and exploit the environment.

Code For Dayton is a monthly user group meeting at the downtown Dayton Innovation Hub. The meetings follow the "hack night" format - a little discussion and show and tell up front, followed by an opportunity to break into groups to work on civic or community oriented projects.

Today, we are heading back to the Preservation Dayton dataset! Janet was able to contact the researcher who did the original 1996 & 2012 study. We're going to hack on some python to see if we can properly update the report with this new piece of info.

What will we be discussing?
Chat GPT, Bard, Bing, CoPilot; the list goes on. The age of AI is officially here! Artificial intelligence may sound scary to some but at isn't simplest form Artificial Intelligence just combines computer science and very large datasets, to help solve problems. In this talk, I will show you what AI may mean for the future of automated testing and whether or not it's coming for our jobs!

New to Tech is a group meeting monthly targeted at folks who are just starting to learn about software development, up through those already employed in the industry who are targeting their first promotion.

Topics will be split between software development fundamentals & career guidance and there will be plenty of time for group discussion & live coding. Please bring your laptop!

What will we be discussing?
Florida Man loves speed. He loves it so much that he’s going to do the unthinkable—he's going to use a cache as his primary database. We'll explore just how Florida Man will do this without losing persistence and without having to drop ACID—that's atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability. And we'll see that Florida Man can have all the CRUD a database provides and the blazing fast speed that a cache provides.

We'll do this with an app that would make Florida Man proud. I've cooked up a service that screen scrapes websites with articles featuring his exploits and loads them into Redis—my cache of choice. On top of this, I've built a website that allows users to view and search for articles—using tags, keywords, and vector search.

I'll show how all of it works—covering the details above—and explain what vector search and embeddings are in a way that even Florida Man could understand. And, of course, I'll demo it live so we can find the Florida Man stories you need to see.

When it's all said and done, you'll see how a cache like Redis can be persistent, ACID-compliant, and even searchable. You'll have an intuitive understanding of vector search, and—best of all—you'll have an app that you can use to start your own projects.

Who is our speaker?
Guy Royse works for Redis as a Developer Advocate. Combining his decades of experience in writing software with a passion for learning—and for sharing what he has learned—Guy explores interesting topics and spreads the knowledge he has gained around developer communities worldwide.

Teaching and community have long been a focus for Guy. He runs his local JavaScript meetup in Ohio and has served on the selection committees of numerous conferences. He'll happily speak anywhere that will have him and has even has helped teach programming at a prison in central Ohio.

In his personal life, Guy is a hard-boiled geek interested in role-playing games, science fiction, and technology. He also has a slightly less geeky interest in history and linguistics. In his spare time he likes to camp and studies history and linguistics.
