C++ Show & Tell (in-person)

Fri, Aug 7, 1:30 AM

From Los Angeles Sprawl C++ User Group

At this in-person meetup, we are welcoming people to show off whatever cool \`c++\` project(s) you might like to show off. Not pure \`c++\`? That's okay, I'd like to share a predominantly-Swift project myself, admittedly. Plan for a casual meetup with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available. Some potential projects I'll personally show & tell: * \`-ffreestanding\` \`c++\` on an Arduino R4 WiFi, playing with LED matrix * my 'exploratory' geometry App Store iOS application, *Surfaces in Space* * \`c++\` modules-first library and library design Some potential projects our members may show & tell: * inverse kinematics engine * ECS game engine (Entity-Component System) * geometric puzzles, 3D printed from \`c++\`-generated model files I anticipate other exciting projects will show themselves here as well! We would love to meet new people in the "local" \`c++\` community. For intermediate communication and all that, please check out our Discord server: [ https://discord.gg/aJMnKxhFe ]

Nibble Night - DEFCON Soldering Meetup

Sun, Aug 2, 2:00 AM

From Null Space Labs

4.9

It's almost time for DEFCON! The ScriptKitty team is building flipper-compatible Mesh radios for Defcon classes, and you can learn surface mount soldering at Null Space Labs! Come build with us, or just hang out and see how hacking tools are made. If you have experience with soldering or pick and place for surface mount electronics, come join us for a fun night of music, pizza, and making electronics! We’ll be giving LoRa node kits to volunteers who can help us build for more than 2 hours, but anyone is welcome to hang out and see how electronics are made (and sometimes destroyed)! We’ll be building the Nibble Zero, a Flipper Zero compatible LoRa mesh radio, that also works just fine on its own! These cute Mesh nodes will be powering workshops at Defcon teaching beginners how to get started with Meshcore, Meshtastic, and Reticulum. If you’d like to volunteer, please [Sign up here!](https://www.universe.com/events/nibble-night-defcon-soldering-meetup-tickets-237NT8) [https://www.universe.com/events/nibble-night-defcon-soldering-meetup-tickets-237NT8](https://www.universe.com/events/nibble-night-defcon-soldering-meetup-tickets-237NT8) We have limited table space available, but anyone is welcome to hang out at NSL! We'll try to get food to cover anyone who signs up to solder above!

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

Fri, Jul 24, 10:00 PM

5.0

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED (Until the end of summer!)** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? * **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**
