" summary

Five compact sessions cover practical demos and measurable results: WebAssembly demos and Service Worker PWAs claim the web can replace native, showing speech API and WebXR prototypes (one speech demo mishears accents); a training program integrates three deaf students into regular courses with 12,862 nodes and 35,512 channels on the Lightning network explained (HTLCs, onion routing, ~1,000 BTC routed capacity); RxJS live‑coding builds a swipe/timer carousel step‑by‑step; a BERT ranker trains on 1.69M reviews, uses Laplace smoothing and siamese ranking to produce continuous helpfulness scores.
