Hey All Its been a while and in the meantime, AI ( especially with access to tools ) has evolved substantially. The latest scores on the HLE indicate that , while still not close to Humans , AI models especially frontier models are closing the gap , albeit quite leisurely So , on to our third event , on the 25th of March at the same location. We will attempt to solve a few problems and perhaps see how an AI agent "thinks" through the same problem set. Then we can have a bit of a philosophical discussion on what it means to reason. Lets see who wins Till then Cheers elvi

Taiji is a precise and refined practice. Through consistent training over time, it develops inner clarity, elastic strength, and a deeper level of the Mind. I am opening my regular Taiji group in Zurich for several introduction evenings in March and April. These evenings are an opportunity to experience the practice and get to know my way of teaching. There is no expectation of immediate commitment — the intention is simply to explore whether this path feels right for you. The teaching is bilingual (German & English) and adapts naturally to the group. During the introduction evenings, we will explore: * Loosening exercises from the tradition of Master Huang Xingxian * The beginning of the Taiji short form * First partner exercises (Tuishou) * Meditation No previous experience is necessary. The invitation is intended for people who are genuinely interested in exploring a longer-term path of development. Participation in this introduction evening is free of charge. Afterwards, those who wish to continue may join the ongoing group. Further details about the training can be found on the website. [https://www.taiji-meditation-zuerich.ch/english-1/training/course-information/](https://www.taiji-meditation-zuerich.ch/english-1/training/course-information/) If you feel ready to engage in a serious, long-term practice, you are very welcome.

Zurich's funniest, coolest pub quiz is back ! Zurich Together.... We know you can drink. We know you can party. But how smart are you ? This is a unique Pub Quiz for people who don't like Pub Quizzes ! The questions are \*fun\*, and I really try to make sure all teams have the same chance of winning. Have a look at the Meetup images to see some of the previous questions I've set. These are not your boring typical "How many bones are there in the human body?" questions ! Lady Hamiltons has air conditioning, unlimited Chicken Wings for 20 CHF and a Happy Hour on drinks (5.50 CHF for a 5 dl beer !!) until 7.30pm. We usual get loads of newcomers, lots of cool people, and when you arrive, I make sure everyone gets added to a team, so it's really easy way to meet others in our group. Most of our members come along alone, and I'll make sure you are added to one of the quiz teams. It's fun, free to join, you'll meet cool people, and you'll get to debate about whether Moscow really is a city in Europe, and try to remember Nicholas Cage movie names from the 1980s. What's not to like ? The quiz starts at 7.30pm, but I recommend getting there around 7pm, so you can meet the others, find a team, and make the most out of the Happy Hour prices! There are voucher prizes for the three best teams, which can be spent at Lady Hamiltons. 1st prize: 150 CHF voucher 2nd prize: 100 CHF voucher 3rd prize: 50 CHF voucher Maximum participants per team: 6. My last few Pub Quizzes have been full... if you are planning on coming with some friends, please reserve a table in advance.

Web Zurich presents inspiring talks all about the web. Join us for the March 2026 meetup! We will have two talks as well as chit-chat and drinks. Whatapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FxOfVTK9nf431xHtVl3eGK) Website: [https://webzurich.ch](https://webzurich.ch) 18:30 \~ 19:00 Arrival time with drinks, chat and introduction 19:00 \~ 19:40 *Christian Heitzmann* **Why Documentation Won’t Write Itself—and AI Won’t Save You** For the last 15+ years, I’ve joined and consulted software teams that all struggled with the same problem: nobody likes writing documentation, and everybody pays the price for it. New developers spend weeks reverse-engineering codebases, architecture lives in people’s heads, and wikis quietly decay into noise. With AI now entering the picture, many hope it will fill the gaps. It won’t. I’ll show the simple ideas that change everything: how to think about documentation in the right levels, how to keep it close to the code, and how to avoid the decay we all know too well. These are the decisions that have to be made before any tool or process can work. The documentation won’t write itself. But there are ways to make it far easier and far more reliable. 19:40 \~ 20:00 *Marco Gähler* **How to write good code** There is an infinite amount of solutions how you can solve a programming problem. Some are better, others are worse. The best solutions are easy to understand, maintain and errors are not able to hide. I wrote a book "Software Engineering Made Easy" about this topic and I'm more than happy to explain some principles that make your code better. Most of them are quite simple to understand, once you understand the mechanics, why your code always breaks. 20:00 onward More drinks & chat We look forward to see you there!

Hi everyone, Each month we come together to explore new perspectives, challenge our thinking, and dive into the conversations that great books inspire. Our purpose is simple and meaningful: **to learn, to connect, and to nurture the richness of our human experience — one book, one dialogue, one gathering at a time.** After *Brave New World* was recently presented to the Zug Book Club, the unanimous sentiment was clear: **we want to go deeper.** So we’re delighted to invite you to: **✨ The Aldous Huxley Experience** **When:** March 26 at 19:00 **Where:** Falkenstrasse 28a, 8008 Zürich This isn’t a standard museum visit — it’s a rare chance to immerse yourself in the world of Aldous Huxley at the **Zürich Aldous Huxley Centre**, which is dedicated to Huxley and supports the study and teaching of his works, including *Brave New World*. The centre also hosts a major exhibition of his complete works, with a substantial portion permanently exhibited at **Huxley Hall** at **Falkenstrasse 28a**, 8008 Zurich.

Mastermind is a small group where each person shares a goal or challenge, and the group helps them with ideas, perspective, and accountability - guided by a coach. An evening of deep conversations about goals, direction, and your next chapter. This mastermind is for ambitious individuals, entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone who wants clarity and real progress in their personal or professional life. You will gain new perspectives, practical insights, and meaningful connections with like-minded people. Expect honest feedback, structured thinking, and conversations that move you forward — not just motivate you for a day. You will leave with clearer direction, concrete next steps, and accountability to help you grow. The event is free.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

This 1967 film is widely regarded as one of the best American movies ever made. Now remembered almost as much for its Simon and Garfunkel music as its deadpan comedy and being the role that established Dustin Hoffman as the hottest actor in Hollywood. It became a cultural icon for capturing the spirit of 60s angst of a young man on the make, while garnering a batch of Oscar nominations. After watching the movie on your own, join us to relive (or experience!) those feelings at our discussion.

Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts—CORE—is an informal community for anyone enthusiastic or curious about radio—whether you're new to radio and want to learn or you've been tinkering for years and want to share. Ham radio operators, GMRS users, Meshtastic fans, software-defined radio nerds, makers, and technical and non-technical folks are all welcome. No experience required or expected. This month we have **WiFi HaLow: Introduction and Practical Use** with **Alex Barbur**. Details are are [core.radio](https://core.radio).

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
