Csak nőknek szóló PyLadies esemény! Gondoltál már arra, hogy miért kellene újra és újra leírnod ugyanazt a kódot, ha egy feladatot többször is el akarsz végezni? A Python függvények pont ebban segítenek: egyszer megírod a kódot, elnevezed, és utána annyiszor használod, ahányszor csak szeretnéd. Ezen az előadáson közérthető nyelven, lépésről lépésre fedezzük fel a függvények alapjait, kezdőknek és újrakezdőknek is ideális módon: • Mi az a függvény? Egy „miniprogram”, ami egy meghatározott feladatot végez el – megnézzük, miért ez a Python egyik legfontosabb építőköve. • Hogyan hozhatsz létre egyet? A def kulcsszó használata, beszédes függvénynevek, és az első saját függvények megírása. • Paraméterek csínja-bínja: Megismerjük a pozíciós és kulcsszavas argumentumokat, az iterálható objektumok csomagolását (unpacking), valamint azt is, hogyan használhatjuk okosan a \*args és \*\*kwargs lehetőségeit. Szó lesz az alapértelmezett paraméterekről és arról is, mire érdemes figyelni velük kapcsolatban. • Változók láthatósága: Amikor a Python egy változó értékét keresi, először a lokális névtérben vizsgálódik. Ha ott nem találja, továbbmegy a befoglaló függvény névterébe, majd a globális névtérbe, végül pedig a beépített névtérbe. Ezt a folyamatot a függvények működésén keresztül is részletesen áttekintjük, sok gyakorlati példával. • Egy kis „szuperképesség” a végére: Rövid betekintést adunk a dekorátorok világába is. Bár haladóbb téma, megmutatjuk, hogyan tehetik még okosabbá és testreszabhatóbbá a függvényeinket anélkül, hogy bonyolítanánk a kódot. Ha szeretnéd jobban megérteni, hogyan szervezd tisztábban és hatékonyabban a Python kódodat, ez az alkalom neked szól. Várunk minden érdeklődőt – akár most ismerkedsz a Pythonnal, akár már használod, de szeretnéd mélyebben megérteni a működését. ✨ ‍ Előadó: Péter Fülöp ️ Programterv • 17:30 – 18:00 Megérkezés, setup • 18:00 – 19:00 Előadás I. • 19:00 – 19:20 Szendvicsek & frissítők • 19:20 – 20:10 Előadás II. • 20:10 – 21:00 Networking (A programterv változásának jogát fenntartjuk.) Mivel készülj? Workshop jellegű alkalom lesz, így hasznos, ha hozol magaddal egy programozásra alkalmas számítógépet. Jó, ha előre megismerkedsz egy Python Notebookkal, például a Google Colab-bal (ehhez egy Google-fiók szükséges). Ha kell bármi segítség, gyere kicsit hamarabb és segítünk! Kit várunk? Olyan **lányokat/nőket**, akik most ismerkednek a Python nyelvvel, vagy szeretnék meglévő tudásukat bővíteni vagy felfrissíteni.

#### **Upcoming Book Club Meetings at Közkincs Könyvtár** We will be starting the new year with two exciting reads — one from a Hungarian literary giant and Nobel Prize winner and one from a contemporary American novelist. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are joining for the first time, you’re warmly invited to dive into these richly layered, discussion-worthy books with us. As always, everyone is welcome, whether you’ve finished the book, are halfway through, or simply want to listen and participate. ##### **January Book Club Meeting** **Book:** *The Melancholy of Resistance* — László Krasznahorkai **Date:** January 28 **Time:** 7:00 PM **Location:** Közkincs Könyvtár We’ll open the year with Krasznahorkai’s haunting and visionary novel — a dense, hypnotic, and darkly comic exploration of chaos, authority, and the strange currents that move through small communities. One of Hungary’s most acclaimed literary works, and the basis for Béla Tarr’s film *Werckmeister Harmonies*, it offers plenty to discuss in terms of style, structure, philosophy, and atmosphere. ##### **February Book Club Meeting** **Book:** *The Nix* — Nathan Hill **Date:** February 25 **Time:** 7:00 PM **Location:** Közkincs Könyvtár In February, we’ll switch gears with *The Nix*, a sprawling, funny, sharp, and surprisingly emotional novel about politics, media, family history, and the stories we tell about ourselves. It moves between time periods and perspectives with enormous energy — giving us a contrast to January’s slow-building, immersive style.

Google Research published a paper at NeurIPS '25 : ["Nested Learning: The Illusion of Deep Learning Architectures"](https://abehrouz.github.io/files/NL.pdf) It is a new approach to look at machine learning problems: architecture & optimization algorithms together In NL, training models is not treated as one opaque, atomic process. But as **a** **system of interconnected, multi-level learning problems** that are **optimized in parallel**. The goal is to solve one of the core challenges of modern LLMs: **continual learning** (the ability for a model to acquire new skills over time without forgetting old ones.) Authors argue: the model's **architecture and the optimization algorithm are fundamentally the same concepts;** they are just different "levels" of optimization, each with its own internal flow of information and update rate We'll walk through: \- how the paper unifies model architecture and optimizers \- architectural decomposition of a classical learning problem solved in the framework of Nested Learning \- how optimizer algorithms fit into the NL framework \(backrpop as associative memory\) \- the concept of continuum\, multi\-timescale memory \- Hope \- an architectural backbone of NL === ENTRY DETAILS === \- QR code with entry information will beavailable soon\, in the "Photos" section of this event page\. \- Gate closes at 18:15 \- no late entries\.

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)

Topic details coming soon. AGENDA: 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Main Topic 7:50pm - Q&A

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant. *** Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge. Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason (ColumbusCoR.org). Omnipresent Atheists is a member of the Columbus Coalition of Reason ( http://www.ColumbusCoR.org ). Omnipresent Atheists endorses the mission of the Secular Coalition for America ( http://secular.org ).
