Chinese Language Meetup
Chinese Language Meetup
大家好! We meet once a week to speak in and about Chinese. Most participants are advanced speakers, or of Chinese descent. Your are a beginner? By all means give our meet-up a chance and drop by! We'd love to help you navigate through the first steps into this fascinating language. If the weather allows we will meet outside (see indicated location). Please bring your own beverages and food. There is a public toilet nearby. 我们每周二晚上七点在火车站附近的某个餐厅聚会,一边吃晚餐(已吃过的也可以只喝一杯),一边用中文聊天。本着开放原则,参加者资格和话题不受任何限制。 我们特别欢迎各位华侨、华裔和来自中国的留学生参加我们的活动,扩充我们对中国的了解。不见不散! 天气允许的话我们在外面聚会(请参考所颁布的地点)。此时请安排自己的饮料和食物。附近有公共厕所。
pan.talk – Wie die KI jassen lernt
pan.talk – Wie die KI jassen lernt
**Und was Unternehmen daraus über Sichtbarkeit, Kontrolle und Vertrauen in der KI-Welt lernen.** «Stöck, Wyys, Stich.» In der Schweiz weiss jeder sofort, was gespielt wird. Die grossen KI-Modelle kennen unser Kulturgut jedoch nur oberflächlich. Wo das Trainingsmaterial dünn ist, erfinden sie die Regeln mit voller Überzeugung. Dasselbe Problem hat fast jede Firma mit ihrem internen Fach- und Produktwissen. Remo Prinz zeigt, wie man durch strukturierte Daten Teil des KI-Training Korpus wird, verlässlich zitiert wird und dieses Fundament über ein autorisiertes Model Context Protocol (MCP) zu einer kontrollierten, vertrauenswürdigen Live-Quelle ausbaut. Ist es ausserdem möglich, ein Modell zu trainieren, das nicht nur perfekt jasst, sondern als geduldiger Mentor jeden Zug erklären kann? Ein Abend über Tradition, strukturierte Daten – und die Frage, wie Organisationen in der KI-Welt zur Quelle werden, der die Maschinen vertrauen.
Writers' Workshop - Exceptionally at ramram
Writers' Workshop - Exceptionally at ramram
[Exceptionally at ramram cafe, inside the PBZ Altstadt library, while Strauhof is closed for the summer!] Join us for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have a semi-private room at The Alehouse, with three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers. A few notes for prospective writers: 1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer. 1. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction). Poetry is likely to be better suited to the marvellous Zürich Poetry Club. 1. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals. 1. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something. 1. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards. 1. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback. 1. Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be. We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!

Badminton Wednesday 🏸
Badminton Wednesday 🏸
Welcome to the Winterthur Badminton Meetup! 🏸👊😉🍻 We’re an international group created for badminton fans in and around Winterthur. Open to Expats and Swiss folks who want to train and socialise with fellow ‘badmintonists’. Or perhaps you’d like to learn the sport and meet new people? Whether doing it for fun or fitness, the idea is to enjoy and have a great (kickass) midweek. And everyone is welcome to join us for a postgame drink or two! See yah! 😊 Important: We ask everyone to respect others who wish to play. That means dropping out if you won’t make it to the game by updating your RSVP. Keep in mind: RSVPs close at 21:00 two days before the event to give others enough time to plan. Anyone on the RSVP list who did not show up at the event is considered a "no-show". No-shows will still have to pay the shared cost of the court and shuttles. We keep track of no-shows and deprioritise them in future games. Please try your best to pay on the same day by Twint or in cash. With Twint, write in the comment the date and your name for reference. Cost will be around 12-20 CHF, depending on the amount of players joining and if we have to rent 1 or 2 courts. Note: If it's your first time joining, please send me a message for more details and to confirm your spot in the game. Otherwise, regular players will be given priority. Cheers, Elias
