The latest & greatest C++ features talk : Jason Turner
Hello Everyone,
**Please Note: The meeting has changed its start time from 19:00 to 20:00 due to an overbooking at the venue. The talk will go on until 22:00. If anyone has a suggestion for a bar nearby, then maybe people can meet there beforehand.**
For this meetup, we are happy to welcome Jason Turner, who will be visiting Ireland at that time. Very generously, Jason will take this opportunity to talk to us about a C++ topic of his choosing on the day.
Jason needs no introduction. If you are into C++, chances are you have encountered his work as the host of the Weekly C++ video series and the CppCast, his "C++ Best Practices" repository, or any of his other projects and contributions to the community.
All of which can be found on his website https://articles.emptycrate.com/about.html
The great folks at Anseo are graciously letting us use their upstairs room again. You are all very welcome !
See you then.

### **Format**
The session will run for around three hours in a relaxed, hands-on setting.
The event will focus on learning, with a combination of scheduled short and long presentations/demonstrations. The last hour will take a more flattened and open approach, allowing the space for people to chat, share, learn, and explore TouchDesigner.
Expect an informal, community-driven environment where the format adapts to participants. So if you would like to bring your laptop and learn the basics, share your projects, or connect with other using the software, this meetup offers a welcoming and supportive space to do so.
The event is also a great opportunity to meet other creative technologists and artists, and to continue building the growing the digital art community in Ireland.
Contact us at noidlab.collective@gmail.com to share ideas for future sessions or to express interest in presenting your work.
A special thanks to TOG for allowing **[@noidlab](https://www.instagram.com/noid_lab/)** to use the space for these events, and **[Derivative](https://www.instagram.com/touchdesigner/)** for supporting the project. The meetups are hosted each month by a group of artists and creative technologists.

Dublin's Newest Language Exchange
Most language exchanges are built around **movement**. โfast rotations, brief chats, surface-level conversation.
New table. New person. Start again.
It feels productive. It isnโt.
Real conversations donโt happen in 10 minutes.
They start there. Then they get interesting.
At Flip Lingoes, **you stay.**
Same table. Same group. Enough time for real conversation and real connection, beyond the surface level.
Every 5 minutes, you switch roles: **fluent speaker โ learner**, not people.
Before you arrive, **[create a profile here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/)**[,](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/) tell us what language you're learning.
This helps our **automated matching algorithm** put you in the right small group.
No awkward searching. No guesswork. Simply scan the QR code on arrival and it automatically matches you with fluent speakers of your target language.
We host events at Zanzibar Locke: calm, well-designed, easy to hear, easy to focus.

6:45โ7:15 โ Seamless check-in (QR code, get matched, sit down)

**Invite a friend for free:**
It's simple. Create a profile [here](https://www.fliplingoes.com/language-exchange-dublin/), log in, and click โ**Invite Friend** to sign up.โ It generates a link and you send that to them. Easy and your friend will thank you later ;)

ServiceNow AI Deep Dive: Hands-On Learning Session
We're planning a hands-on technical session focused on building AI solutions in ServiceNow - think skills, agents, and real-world use cases. If youโre curious about AI on the platform, RSVP now and stay tuned for more details. Let's build together!
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it โseems good,โ and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, weโll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weโll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
Weโll cover:
* Why โit looks goodโ is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works โ and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, youโll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
