• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

Unused vouchers received

Ednei P. de Melo
Thanks to @Stephen Schneiter and everyone else who replied. I took the Linux+ exam today (and passed). I plan to get other CompTIA certifications (especially AutoOps+ and Data+), but I need to keep an eye on the certifications I already hold that are about to expire (AWS Architect Associate, Cisco CCNA, and CyberOps). I’m even considering "combining" the CCNA Automation (which would automatically renew the other CCNAs I’ve already earned) with the CompTIA AutoOps+ (which shares many topics with Automation)—and perhaps even taking both certifications in the same week! I’ll keep you posted... &;-D

Context Engineering

Abraham Terhemen Adeke
Context Engineering is the practice of dynamically assembling and managing all the information an LLM needs before each model call so the agent can behave intelligently, maintain state, and provide personalized responses. Unlike traditional prompt engineering, which focuses mainly on static instructions, context engineering manages the entire context payload sent to the model.

Core Idea​

Large Language Models (LLMs) are inherently stateless. They only know what is provided within the context window of a given request. Context engineering solves this limitation by supplying the right information at the right time.

Goal​

Provide the model with:
  • No more information than necessary
  • No less information than necessary
  • The most relevant information for the current task

Good afternoon, CINers!

I would like to know if there is any issue with not using most of the certification exam vouchers we received for participating in the TTT training sessions. I am proud to be a CIN member, and if it were up to me, I would have a wide range of CompTIA certifications in my portfolio! Unfortunately, however, due to time and availability constraints, it is not possible to stay up-to-date with all the certifications that interest me, as I have other professional commitments that prevent me from dedicating myself fully to them.

Currently, I watch the broadcast recordings and download the presentations primarily to learn and stay current with the latest IT technologies - something CIN has uniquely enabled me to do (even without taking the certification exams). That said, I do intend to obtain the other certifications within my reach in the not-too-distant future (if possible).

Best regards,

Hello @Ednei P. de Melo, I am glad you value the CIN community and what we offer! This is exciting to hear! I understand the value of time and trying to utilize the vouchers! They will expire. Hopefully you will be able to utilize some before they do. There isn't an issue with letting them expire.

Def Con 34

No word. The new administration has heard how popular Partner Summit has been, so fingers crossed, it will get added back to the roadmap at some point.

Well, if they need to hear from the community at large, I'm pretty sure folks like me and others can raise the volume up to a level that would make R. Lee Ermey, Sam Kinison, or just about every metal band in existence proud.
