Am 24.06.26 steigt unser nächstes Codineers Rosenheim Meetup vor Ort in unserem Büro in Rosenheim oder Remote via Zoom.

Sie generieren Pull Requests, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User, oft komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch wo endet der Hype und wo beginnen die echten Risiken? Was taugen die integrierten Sicherheitsfeatures aktueller Modelle, wenn sie auf die Realität der Softwareentwicklung treffen? Und wie groß ist der "Blastradius", wenn Agenten durch präparierte E-Mails manipuliert werden? Dieses Meetup liefert dir einen fundierten Security-Deep-Dive. Wir analysieren reale Vorfälle, prüfen die aktuellsten Anthropic-Modelle auf Herz und Nieren und stellen dir konkrete Design-Prinzipien (SAIF 2.0) vor, mit denen du deine KI-Systeme absicherst bevor sie live gehen. **\*\*\* Agenda \*\*\*** 17:30 Uhr \| Doors open\. Schnapp' dir Snacks & Getränke\. 17:45 Uhr \| Welcome & Intro 18:00 Uhr \| Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic\-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security\-Check \- Stefan Feuerstein 18:45 Uhr \| SAIF 2\.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI\-Agenten \- Alexander Eimer 19:30 Uhr \| GetTogether **\*\*\* Unsere Vorträge \*\*\*** **Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security-Check** In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die aktuelle Leistungsfähigkeit der neuesten Anthropic-Modelle und schauen unter die Haube von Entwicklertools wie der Claude CLI. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Perspektive der IT-Security: wie sicher ist AI-Code? Was bringen die mitgelieferten "Sicherheitsfeatures"? Zudem wollen wir natürlich auch wissen, ob Mythos uns zeitnah unseren Job wegnimmt: Deswegen ziehen wir ein Fazit nach zwei Monaten Project Glasswing. Was ist Fakt, was Fiktion? **SAIF 2.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI-Agenten** KI-Agenten sind längst im Produktiveinsatz: Sie generieren Millionen von Pull Requests, lösen Support-Tickets und verwalten die interne Unternehmenskommunikation. Sie sind keine bloßen Chatbots. Sie verfügen über Zugriffsrechte, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User – komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch diese Autonomie vergrößert den potenziellen Blastradius enorm. Die Beispiele aus der Praxis sprechen für sich: Eine einzige präparierte E-Mail verwandelte Microsoft 365 Copilot in ein Werkzeug zum Datendiebstahl. Ein simpler einzeiliger Prompt brachte den Chatbot eines Autohauses dazu, einem 1-Dollar-Verkauf zuzustimmen – vor den Augen von Millionen. Das sind keine kuriosen Einzelfälle, sondern das Resultat von Produkten, die ohne das nötige Sicherheitsfundament entwickelt wurden. Googles Secure AI Framework 2.0 (SAIF) ist die Antwort aus der Praxis. Es identifiziert 15 spezifische Risiken, ordnet sie den Komponenten eines KI-Systems zu und liefert konkrete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. SAIF 2.0 erweitert diesen Rahmen gezielt für agentische Systeme: Es zeigt auf, wo sie versagen, warum die Risiken hier höher liegen und wie wir die Architektur grundlegend neu denken müssen. Dieser Vortrag analysiert die SAIF-Architektur anhand realer Vorfälle und schließt mit fünf entscheidenden Design-Prinzipien ab, die den Blastradius Ihrer Agenten minimieren, bevor sie live gehen. Wir sind Partner der [ROSIK](https://www.rosik.com/).

Join us for the new session of our discussion series **“A Night With…”**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages. Let’s unravel the myth of Aphrodite, one of antiquity's most polarizing figures! The myth of Aphrodite is all about beauty and love emerging out of a chaotic, turbulent beginning. It kind of reminds us of the energy of upcoming Budapest Pride, **celebrating love and joy as a form of beautiful resistance.🏳️‍🌈​🏳️‍⚧️** In classical mythology, **Aphrodite wasn't just the goddess of heteronormative romance; she was the ancient deity of *all* love, raw desire, passion, and human connection.** Her myth fits beautifully into the spirit of Pride, especially in a city like Budapest where the community relies heavily on historical, safe, and artistic spaces to connect. **What to expect:** * I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Aphrodite’s myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections. * After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work. * If you’re an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group. **Before the event:** Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Aphrodite’s story (provided below👇🏽) and think of: * A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story. * Any modern parallels or insights you’d like to discuss. This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**. ### ### **🌊The story of Aphrodite (aka Venus) in Brief** **🦪​ Chaper 1. A Violent Birth: The Evisceration of Ouranos** Before the famous gods like Zeus existed, the universe was ruled by Ouranos (the sky) and Gaia (the earth). Ouranos was a terrible ruler. His son, Cronus, decided to overthrow him by using a sickle to castrate (eviscerate) his father. Cronus threw Ouranos's severed body parts into the sea. The primordial fluids mixed with the saltwater, creating a thick white sea foam. Out of this foam, a fully grown, spectacularly beautiful woman emerged. What's in a name? The Greeks named her Aphrodite because *aphros* means "**foam**." She floated ashore on a giant seashell, a moment immortalized in famous art like Sandro Botticelli's *The Birth of Venus*. **🏞️​ Chapter 2. The Forced Marriage: Hephaestus** When Aphrodite arrived at Mount Olympus (the home of the main gods), her beauty caused immediate chaos. Every male god wanted to marry her, and fights were breaking out. To keep the peace, Zeus (the king of the gods) forced Aphrodite to marry Hephaestus (sometimes spelled Ephestus). Hephaestus was the god of fire, blacksmiths, and crafts. He was also the only god who was physically disabled, walked with a limp, and worked covered in soot. It was a completely mismatched marriage arranged for **political stability**: the most beautiful goddess paired with the most unglamorous, hardworking god. **💥 Chapter 3. The Secret Affair: Ares** Unsurprisingly, Aphrodite was not a faithful wife. Her most famous, controversial lover was Ares, the god of war. Where Hephaestus was gentle and quiet, Ares was hyper-masculine, aggressive, and exciting.Their affair was a poorly kept secret until Helios (the sun god) saw them together from the sky and ratted them out to Hephaestus. Instead of fighting Ares, Hephaestus used his blacksmithing skills for revenge. He forged an **invisible net made of unbreakable, razor-thin gold chains.** He rigged it above the bed and pretended to go on a trip. When Ares and Aphrodite met up, the trap sprang, locking them together in an embarrassing embrace. Hephaestus then invited all the other gods to come over and laugh at them. The aftermath of the invisible net incident is actually one of the earliest recorded examples of a *legal divorce* in storytelling. When Hephaestus trapped Aphrodite and Ares in bed, he didn't just want to embarrass them, he wanted a return on his investment. While the couple was still trapped under the net, Hephaestus called out to Zeus and demanded a full annulment of the marriage. Hephaestus refused to lift the net until he got his wealth back. Zeus, utterly embarrassed by the whole public spectacle, actually refused to pay. He argued that Hephaestus shouldn't have put his family's private drama on display for all of Mount Olympus to see. That is when Poseidon (god of the sea) stepped in to mediate. Poseidon essentially said, "Look, just let them out. I personally guarantee that Ares will pay you a steep financial penalty for the adultery. And if Ares flakes on the debt, I will pay it myself." Hephaestus agreed, lifted the net, and the marriage was effectively over. **💞​Chapter 4. Tragic Mortal Love: Adonis** Aphrodite didn't just love gods; she also fell hard for mortals. Her greatest love story was with **Adonis**, a mortal man so extraordinarily handsome that Aphrodite fell for him the moment he was born. Because he was mortal, Aphrodite was terrified he would get hurt. She constantly warned him to avoid hunting dangerous predators like bears and lions. But Adonis was young and reckless. One day, while hunting without her, he tracked down a massive wild boar. The boar charged and gored Adonis to death. Aphrodite rushed to his side, but it was too late. As she wept over his body, her tears mixed with his blood. From the blood-soaked earth, she created the **Anemone flower** (the windflower) as a permanent memorial to his fragile beauty. **💗​ Chapter 5. Geopolitics: From Troy to Rome in the name of Love** Aphrodite wasn't just a bystander in history; she actually triggered the **Trojan War** and paved the way for the **founding of Rome.** It started at a divine wedding. Eris, the goddess of discord, threw a golden apple into a crowd of goddesses labeled "To the Fairest" (the most beautiful). Aphrodite, Hera (queen of the gods), and Athena (goddess of wisdom) all claimed it. They asked a mortal prince named **Paris of Troy** to judge the contest. To win his vote, the goddesses tried to bribe him: Hera offered him political power over Europe and Asia. Athena offered him military mastery and wisdom. Aphrodite offered him the love of the most beautiful mortal woman in the world: Helen of Sparta. Paris picked Aphrodite. She kept her promise, helping Paris kidnap Helen and bring her back to Troy. This action outraged the Greeks, launching a thousand ships and starting the devastating 10-year Trojan War. During the fall of Troy, Aphrodite looked out for her mortal son, **a Trojan hero named Aeneas**. She protected him as the city burned, helping him escape with a band of survivors. Aeneas went on an epic journey across the Mediterranean Sea and eventually landed in Italy. His descendants—centuries later—would found the city of Rome. **\*\*The Roman Rebrand:** When the Romans conquered the region, they adopted Greek myths but changed the names. Aphrodite became Venus. Because Aeneas was her son, Julius Caesar and the Roman emperors claimed they were direct, literal descendants of Venus herself! 📃📜**Principal ancient sources:** * Homer, *Iliad* * Homer, *Odyssey* * Ps.

“Ha egy lény szenved, nincs erkölcsi igazolás arra, hogy ezt a szenvedést ne vegyük figyelembe.” *―* Peter Singer – *Állati felszabadítás* **A session magyar nyelvű! A [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/filozofiai-beszelgetes-veganizmus-kornyezet-egeszseg-es-etika-2026-06-25/) oldalon Karma pontokért is elérhető.** A Nature.com szerint bizonyítékok vannak arra, hogy az emberek már több mint 2,5 millió éve fogyasztanak húst. A modern ipari társadalmak azonban új etikai dilemmát hoztak létre: a húsevés egy életmódbeli választás, vagy erkölcsi kérdés? Ebben a beszélgetésben a veganizmus filozófiáját vizsgáljuk, valamint azt a kérdést, hogy az állatoknak jár-e az emberével összevethető erkölcsi figyelem. Különböző nézőpontokat elemzünk antropológiai, táplálkozástudományi, környezeti és erkölcsi érvek mentén. Szükséges-e a húsfogyasztás az egészséghez? Erkölcsileg „tisztábbak”-e a növényi alapú étrendek? Mi a helyzet a környezeti és egészségügyi hatásokkal? Mennyire kell a biológiának meghatároznia az etikát? A vita érinti az állatok szenvedésével és az emberi felelősséggel kapcsolatos morális kérdéseket is, többek között Peter Singer gondolatait és a „speciesizmus” kritikáját — azt az elképzelést, hogy pusztán a más fajhoz tartozás nem lehet alapja az erkölcsi értékek csökkentésének. A cél nem a konszenzus elérése, hanem annak megkérdőjelezése, amit az ételről, erkölcsről, természetről és az ember–állat viszonyról gondolunk. **Vendégek bemutatása (15 perc)** Rövid bevezető a témába és a résztvevők bemutatása. * Vegan vagy vegetáriánus vagy? Miért? **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** **Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)** 1. Igaz-e, hogy a szarvasmarha-tenyésztés jelentős környezeti terheléssel jár? * Növényi takarmány felhasználása állati takarmányként * Földhasználat * Vízlábnyom * CO₂-kibocsátás 1. A kis- és nagyléptékű termelés paradoxona: a nagyüzemi termelés olcsóbb, elérhetőbb és bizonyos szempontból környezetileg hatékonyabb, ugyanakkor az állatok életkörülményei általában rosszabbak. 2. Egy történet az élelmiszer-pazarlásból származó metánról. **Veganizmus és egészség** 1. Néhány adat: a veganizmus terjedése. 2. Ha bizonyos emberek vagy populációk esetében a húsevés jobb egészségügyi kimenetellel jár, ez erkölcsi alapot ad-e a húsfogyasztás fenntartására? 3. Függjenek-e az étkezési döntések erkölcsi szinten a tudományos bizonyosságtól? (Példa: a táplálkozástudomány gyakran változik — mennyi bizonyíték tekinthető elégségesnek?) 4. A vegán étrend választása pusztán egészségügyi döntés, vagy erkölcsi kötelességgé kellene válnia? 5. Ha a laboratóriumi hús teljesen azonos lenne az állati hússal, de állatok megölése nélkül készülne, elfogadnák-e ezt a vegánok és a húsevők? **Antropológia** 1. Ha az ember természeténél fogva mindenevő, ez igazolja-e a húsevést? („természetes” vs „erkölcsileg elfogadható”) 2. Számos hagyományos kultúrában az állatok vadászata tisztelettel együtt létezett. Lehetséges-e ennek modern megfelelője? 3. Az ember viseli a teljes erkölcsi felelősséget más fajokkal szemben — mennyire fenntartható ez? 4. Etikailag elfogadható-e háziállatokat (macskákat, kutyákat) tartani? **Erkölcsi kérdések** 1. Peter Singer szerint a szenvedés számít, függetlenül a fajtól. Ha egy állat képes szenvedni, miért számítana kevésbé az ő szenvedése, mint az emberé? 2. A „speciesizmus” összevethető-e más diszkriminációs formákkal, ahol egy csoportot előnyben részesítünk másokkal szemben? 3. Ha soha nem fogadnánk el, hogy egy másik intelligens faj embereket tenyésszen étkezés céljából, miért fogadjuk el az állattenyésztést? *** **RSVP:** Kérjük, jelezd részvételed a Meetupon vagy a [consciouspass.com](https://consciouspass.com/activity/filozofiai-beszelgetes-veganizmus-kornyezet-egeszseg-es-etika-2026-06-25/) oldalon (Karma pontokért!).

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

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
