Come for another casual gathering and chat with peers in the software & technology community. Bring your smile and relax with a refreshing drink. **Concept** 🍻 It works simple: 1. feel free to arrive and leave at any time during the event 2. get yourself a drink at the bar or convenience store 3. say hi to someone in the group and chat away. **How to find us?** 👀 Bart/Stephen usually wear something that is easy to spot in a crowd. Often it's a bright coloured t-shirt or something orange themed. Have a look at past photos of meetups to recognise him. Moreover, we usually stand close to the bar. **Venue** 📍 **The Beer Bay** is an **outdoor kiosk/bar**, situated at the walkway between the Central Ferry Piers, at the ground level **entrance of Central Ferry Pier #4** (to Lamma Island). There's plenty of space to stand, and various places to get drinks. Usually lots of people in conversation, and an overall casual and relaxed atmosphere. In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline! **Toilets** 🚻 There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby. **Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤 The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too. There are also non-alcoholic options from other stands and convenience stores around as well. See you on Friday June 29!

**Details** Date: 27 June 2026, Saturday Time: 15:00 – 18:00 HKT Venue: BC404, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Capacity: 40 participants **Please make sure you fill in the google form https://forms.gle/ogJSHfruCnjHNisU6 for Poly University QR Code Access**. **Topics** **1\. Mind the Data Gap — Prize Ceremony & Winners’ Sharing** Speaker: Winning teams / participants Duration: around 15 minutes In our previous HKPUG workshop, participants worked in teams on a messy Hong Kong-inspired synthetic transport dataset. The data was intentionally corrupted with missing values, outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and hidden signals. Teams had to clean the data and submit their work to a fixed black-box scorer to see whether their cleaning improved model performance. In this session, we will present the prizes and invite the winning teams / participants to share their approaches. We will cover: \- Prize ceremony for the workshop winners \- How participants approached the data cleaning challenge \- What kinds of hidden signals were found \- Common patterns and mistakes we observed \- What we learned from designing a gamified Python data workshop No model tuning. Just data rescuing. **2\. Python "Lies": Things That Are Not What They Seem** Speaker: Alex Au Duration: 15 minutes Python often reads almost like English — until it does something that is technically correct but completely different from what you expected. In this rapid-fire talk, Alex will uncover several Python-specific “lies”: late-bound lambdas in loops, mutable default arguments that remember previous calls, nested lists that secretly share the same rows, generators that disappear after one pass, the surprising meaning of for...else, and finally blocks that can rewrite a function’s ending. Each example begins with a short “guess the output” challenge, followed by an explanation of the Python behaviour hiding underneath. Things are not always what they seem. **3\. LEPAUTE Framework — FSD\-style Visual Perception with Lie Group Equivariant Attention** Speaker: Carson Duration: around 60 minutes LEPAUTE is a Python-based visual perception / machine learning framework originally motivated by Tesla FSD-style autonomous driving perception. Autonomous driving perception is not just about detecting objects in a flat image. A model needs to reason about movement, rotation, position, scale, and viewpoint changes while still understanding the same scene consistently. In this talk, Carson will introduce the motivation behind LEPAUTE, the core technical ideas, and how Lie group equivariant attention can be applied to 2D visual perception. The session will also include a live or prepared demo. This talk is suitable for participants interested in Python, machine learning, computer vision, autonomous driving perception, mathematical structures in AI models, and research-oriented software projects. Note: This is an independent technical sharing and **does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by Tesla**. **Rundown** 15:00 – 15:30 Registration and networking 15:30 – 15:45 Opening and HKPUG updates 15:45 – 16:10 Mind the Data Gap prize ceremony and winners’ sharing 16:10 – 16:25 Break and networking 16:25 – 16:40 Python "Lies": Things That Are Not What They Seem 16:40 – 16:50 Break and setup 16:50 – 17:50 LEPAUTE Framework technical sharing and demo 17:50 – 18:00 Open discussion, networking, and closing **Who should join?** This meetup is suitable for: \- Python developers \- Data scientists and machine learning practitioners \- Students interested in AI\, computer vision\, and data science \- Developers curious about autonomous driving perception \- Open\-source contributors \- Anyone interested in practical Python workflows \- Anyone interested in the Hong Kong Python community **Notes** \- This is a community meetup and is free to attend\. \- Seats are limited to 40 participants\. \- Please RSVP only if you plan to attend\. \- Campus access details will be shared with confirmed participants before the event\. \- Please help us keep the venue clean and restore the room setup before leaving\.

Hi guys, this is going to be a special edition where we will also have some live band and music to switch it up. How is this related to AI? Well, when AI is here to automate the mundane things in life, us humans can reflect on what make us humans, and enjoy the life in us. +++ I think we've passed our 25/26th month mark now, we lost track! Our drinks night's unique point is NO PRESSURE. Everyone is just chilling, learning, and empathetic and supportive to each other's AI journey, wherever they currently are at. So, join our monthly networking drinks night: MERAKIS DRINKS Whether you are working on an AI project, learning about it, or simply curious about the scene, come make some new friends :) Simple as that Location: Acquasala italian restaurant, wine bar & cafe 13 Elgin St · Central, hk People who joined our previous events had come from all walks of life including entrepreneurs, finance and banking, data science, branding, marketing, architecture and UX, you name it! Come meet some new friends. Some had found cofounders, friends, even life partners from our event. It's the good vibes. All welcome, if you are new to our events, you will be even more warmly welcomed :) & Bring friends! More the merrier. Some questions you may like to ask other attendees when you meet them for the first time: \- How are you using AI in your daily life at this moment? \- What excites you the most about the new models of AI that came out most recently? \- What are you future plans in your AI exploration journey? Please note: \- If you attend our events\, we would assume it's ok to have you in our group photos :\) \- It's a Buy Your Own Drink situation :\) We are not commercially related to the venue and this is a non\-profit event\, we are friends who come together for a good chat\, please buy your own drink\! :\) \- Please don't sell us insurance XD it's not appropriate at this event\. \- If you have trouble finding us\, please reach Adeline via Adeline's LinkedIn https://www\.linkedin\.com/in/adelinechanhokming/ Follow us on ig [@merakis.ai](http://merakis.ai/) Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/merakisai Co-organizer Adeline's Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/adelinechanhokming

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

**Hello Columbus!** **The community is buzzing and growing well. We are thrilled to bring our fourth BrowserStack QA Meetup on Thursday, July 9th!** We are creating a space for deeper insights, meaningful connections, and a vibe you won't want to miss. **What to expect:** * **Connect:** Network with Columbus' top engineering and QA minds. * **Learn:** Real-world tactics and trends you can use immediately. * **Enjoy:** Food, drinks, and great community spirit. **Agenda** * **Two Roads Diverged in a Wood: Docker Compose vs. Kubernetes** by **[Doug Reeder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pdouglasreeder/)** **RSVP Essential:** Space is limited, and we want to ensure a great experience for everyone. **RSVP now to secure your spot!** 📍 **Venue:** Leading EDJE, 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 📍 **Free Parking:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017 📅 **Date & Time:** July 9, 6:00 PM **Stay Connected!** Want to continue the conversation beyond the meetup? Join our **BrowserStack Discord Server** to get updates, connect with fellow QA professionals, and be part of an ongoing discussion. **Don’t miss out—click below to join!** 🔗 [\[](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW)**[Join the BrowserStack Discord Server](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW)**[\]](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW) **A Few Notes:** ✅ This is an **in-person event** ✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event. **TALK ABSTRACT:** Docker Compose and Kubernetes are two of the most popular tools for running containerized applications. Their feature lists are similar. Architects and senior developers need to know how their different paradigms lead to unexpectedly different experiences in production.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. 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.
