DerbyCon

DerbyCon was a computer security conference based in Louisville, Kentucky.[1] The first DerbyCon took place in 2011 and was founded by Martin Bos, Dave Kennedy, Alex Kah and Adrian Crenshaw.[2] The conference has been held at the Hyatt Regency Louisville typically in late September.

On January 14, 2019, organizers announced that DerbyCon 9.0, to be held in September 2019, would be the last of the series, citing the increasing difficulty of holding conferences in the face of "a small, yet vocal group of people creating negativity, polarization, and disruption".[3]

gollark: I mean this semiunironically. It is *already* possible to generate fairly artistic images automatically via CLIP+VQGAN and similar things. This will only improve over time. Because people often like knowing that people went to some effort to make a thing, though (see handmade goods, etc.) there will probably be demand for human art anyway.
gollark: You are MUCH like Intel's flagship Xeon Platinum 8380 "Ice Lake" 2P server configuration.
gollark: Art will be automated in 10 years anyway.
gollark: If no moon is detected in 24 hours of scanning, it is deemed not there.
gollark: This would work by using shodan and/or scanning the entire IP address space for IP cameras, then looking for the moon in their feeds.
