🧠 “Cracking the Brain Code: Roy van Rijn on Neuralink’s 200x Data Compression Challenge”. Our very own Roy van Rijn shares exclusive insights on Neuralink's Mind-Blowing Data Compression Challenge in a CBC article! 🧠✨ Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, is at the forefront of brain-machine interface innovation, and their latest challenge is a jaw-dropping 200x compression of brain data. In his interview with CBC, Roy dives into the technical intricacies, discussing the gap between theoretical possibilities and practical limitations. Here's a teaser from his insights: “Given the nature of the data, achieving a 200x compression is nearly impossible. The high noise level severely limits how much we can realistically compress the data without losing critical information.” Curious about how this challenge unfolds?

We love sharing technical knowledge at OpenValue. Last week, our colleagues Jago de Vreede, Berwout De Vries Robles, Roy van Rijn, and Bert Jan Schrijver represented OpenValue at the software development conference Devoxx UK. OpenValue hosted four conference talks and two ignite sessions there, interacted with the global Java community, and made many new friends. The talks we delivered: "Spring Boot vs Quarkus: The Ultimate Battle!" by Jago de Vreede and Berwout de Vries Robles Jago compared two leading Java frameworks, providing live coding examples and performance benchmarks to help developers choose the right tool for their needs. "Pushing Java to the Limits: Processing a Billion Rows in under 2 Seconds" by Roy van Rijn Roy showcased techniques for optimizing Java applications for massive data processing, sharing insights from real-world experiences. "Generic or Specific? Making sensible software design decisions" by Bert Jan Schrijver Bert Jan shared his experiences and thought process as a developer and software architect with choosing between generic and specific solutions. "Going serverless with Quarkus, GraalVM native images and AWS Lambda" by Bert Jan Schrijver Bert Jan showed how he migrated the backend for the NLJUG conference app (used for J-Fall, J-Spring and more events) from Spring running on Linux virtual machines to Quarkus running as GraalVM native image on AWS lambda. At OpenValue, we believe in team collaboration, continuous learning, and community engagement. Our participation at DevoxxUK reflects our dedication to these values. We love to share our knowledge and gain new insights by listening to other experts. A special thanks to Dimitris Doutsiopoulos for the fantastic photos! 📸 #DevoxxUK #OpenValue #TechLeadership #DeveloperCommunity #Innovation #Java

If you are at #JCON2024 don't miss the new Talk of Simone de Gijt. After the success of #wired she created a completely new talk with new content, similar topic.
