Clase de vela⛵| Atardecer🌇 | Aperitivo aftersailing 🍻
**¡Descubrí lo que es navegar al atardecer! 🌅⛵**
El plan: Salimos a navegar y a la vuelta compartimos un aperitivo 🍻 a bordo ;)
El cielo encendido y el corazón lleno❤️. Así es como volvemos de la clase.
Solo durante los meses de primavera y verano, cuando el sol nos regala sus mejores colores al final del día, salimos a navegar en clases prácticas de vela.
Aprendés. Maniobrás. Disfrutás. Todo en un entorno relajado, con buena onda y entre quienes quieren aprender en serio pero sin rigidez.
📍 Salimos desde el Port Olímpic (Barcelona) sábados y domingos de 18 a 20 h.
👨🏻🏫 Las clases son prácticas 100%, con un máximo de 4 alumnos por salida. Así todos participan, rotan puestos, hacen y deshacen maniobras. Acá no venís a mirar: venís a navegar.
⏳ Esta experiencia es **por tiempo limitado**: a partir de septiembre, el cambio de hora nos obliga a cambiar los planes... así que si te tienta la idea de aprender con el mar dorado por el sol, este es tu momento.

**El Mapa del Alma: El viaje de Arjuna y el arte de vivir con propósito**
Todos atravesamos momentos en los que nos sentimos perdidos. Dudas, miedo, incertidumbre, decisiones difíciles... instantes en los que nuestra brújula interior parece dejar de funcionar.
Hace más de dos mil años, el *Bhagavad Gita* abordó estas mismas preguntas a través de la historia de Arjuna, un guerrero paralizado ante el mayor desafío de su vida. Lo que sigue es uno de los diálogos más profundos jamás escritos sobre el propósito, el sentido de la existencia, el deber, la libertad y la paz interior.
En esta conferencia descubriremos cómo las enseñanzas atemporales del *Bhagavad Gita* pueden ayudarnos a afrontar los conflictos de la vida moderna con mayor claridad, fortaleza y serenidad. Exploraremos cómo transformar el miedo en coraje, la confusión en sabiduría y la acción cotidiana en un camino de crecimiento personal y espiritual.
Una invitación a descubrir una espiritualidad práctica, profunda y sorprendentemente actual, diseñada para personas reales que buscan respuestas auténticas a las grandes preguntas de la vida.
**¿Qué aprenderás?**
* El significado simbólico del viaje de Arjuna y su aplicación a nuestra vida.
* Cómo tomar decisiones alineadas con nuestros valores y propósito.
* La diferencia entre actuar desde el ego o desde una conciencia más elevada.
* Herramientas para gestionar la incertidumbre, el miedo y los cambios vitales.
* Claves para encontrar paz interior sin renunciar a la acción y a los desafíos del mundo.
**Una conferencia para quienes sienten que ha llegado el momento de dejar de sobrevivir y empezar a vivir con mayor consciencia, dirección y significado.**

URBAN SKETCHING
It's the practice of drawing what surrounds you. It consists of capturing your personal vision of your immediate world, or the places you travel to. It's a narrative of everyday life: that coffee shop that motivates you, the streets or parks you walk through that inspire you, etc.
Sketch without fear of making mistakes, move beyond figurative and realistic styles to experiment with the style you enjoy the most.

BILINGÜE CATALÀ/ESPANYOL! DIVENDRES / CAFÈ - Meetup de filosofia: 19:15
**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.**
Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè!
Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu.
Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol.
**ON ENS TROBEM?**
Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!)
**QUAN ENS TROBEM**
Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45
Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment
**QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM**
Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana
**QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS**
A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi
**QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS**
Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors
\- Per quins ideals val la pena morir
\- Per què mai estem satisfets
\- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual
\- És necessària la identitat
\- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia
\- Què és la postveritat
\- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat
**QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP**
Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)
Cuando me mudé a Barcelona, trabajaba muchas horas y aun así no encontraba con quién practicar español de verdad. Probé cursos. Probé Duolingo y Babbel.
Todos me daban la misma sensación: ejercicios sin gracia sobre temas que no me interesaban, completamente desconectados de mi vida real. Así que me inventé mi propio método. Y funcionó.
Aprendí español en 4 meses, y ahora estoy acelerando con el francés, no en un aula, sino integrando el idioma en mi día a día. Justo eso es lo que voy a compartir en esta sesión gratuita de una hora.
**Lo que te llevarás:**
* Por qué los métodos tradicionales te dejan estancado en el nivel intermedio
* Lo único que de verdad marca la diferencia (y no es más clases particulares)
* Prácticas diarias que puedes empezar mañana, pensadas para tu vida, no para un libro de texto
**¿Para quién es esto?**
* Llevas tiempo aprendiendo un idioma pero te has quedado atascado entre el A2 y el B2
* Quieres usar el idioma de verdad, no pasarte años persiguiendo la perfección
* Estás abierto a replantearte cómo aprendes
**Logística:** Nos vemos en SandwiChez para tomar un café todos juntos y hablar de nuestra experiencia con los idiomas.
Why Is Your Language Learning So Slow? (And How to Fix It)
When I moved to Barcelona, I worked long hours and somehow still couldn't find people to actually practice Spanish with.
I tried courses. I tried Duolingo and Babbel.
They all felt the same: awkward exercises about topics I didn't care about, completely disconnected from my real life.
So I figured out my own method. It worked.
I learned Spanish in 4 months, and I'm now accelerating my French, not in a classroom but by integrating the language into my daily life.
That's exactly what I'm sharing in this free 1-hour session.
**What you'll walk away with:**
* Why traditional methods get you stuck at the intermediate level
* The one thing that actually moves the needle (it's not more tutoring)
* Daily practices you can start tomorrow - built around your life, not a textbook
**Who's this for:**
* You've been learning a language but got stuck somewhere between A2 and B2
* You want to actually use the language, not spend years chasing perfection
* You're open to rethinking how you learn
**Logistics:**
We'll meet at Sandwichez to have a Coffee all together and talk about our language experience.
Hablar es mejor (Clase de conversación y errores en español)
Buenas!
(English below)
Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial.
Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial.
El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más.
Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores:
Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales,
y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones?
La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases.
Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas.
Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases.
Vente y hablamos.
Rafa.

Hi!
Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great.
If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great.
The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more.
All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes:
Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions,
and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations?
People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes.
If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things.
There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes.
Let´s talk.
Rafa.
Scientific Paper Reading: ICLR2026 Beyond Transformers & Multimodal Frontiers
**Scientific Paper Reading Club: Beyond Transformers & Multimodal Frontiers**
This is part of the scientific paper reading club.
This Saturday, we are expanding our horizons beyond standard LLMs! Following our recent discussions, we will be diving into points 3 and 5 from our reading list presentation: **Alternative architectures (SSM/RNN)** and **Multimodal foundation models**.
To make it even more exciting, we will be connecting these topics to some of the freshest breakthroughs presented at the recent ICLR conference ([https://iclr.cc/](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Ficlr.cc%2F)).
**What to expect:**
Our presenter, Maxim Musin, will guide us through these two major frontiers in modern AI:
1. **Alternative Architectures (SSM/RNN):** Transformers are incredibly powerful, but their computational costs remain a massive bottleneck for long contexts. We will discuss why State Space Models (SSMs) like Mamba are emerging as the next big leap. We will look at fresh ICLR[[1](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvertexaisearch.cloud.google.com%2Fgrounding-api-redirect%2FAUZIYQGC4niR9aCGjHBT9LMF4wz46OkiGKU9B7nghuo3OzbRQCWNy4fGizlUydBsvuhZgYay8Y31rCTrfquWnuEHjAibPui0IrBi71JMXQG59U0rk5DKa-hzJg%3D%3D)] insights, such as "Mamba-3: Improved Sequence Modeling using State Space Principles" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.15569](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2603.15569) and "MambaSL: Exploring Single-Layer Mamba for Time Series Classification" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.15174](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2604.15174)
2. **Multimodal Foundation Models:** We will explore how AI is learning to "think" natively across different continuous spaces and complex interactions. We will touch on standout ICLR papers like "Massively Multimodal Foundation Models: A Framework for Capturing Interactions with Specialized Mixture-of-Experts" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25678](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2509.25678) and "Theory of Space: Can Foundation Models Construct Spatial Beliefs through Active Exploration?" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07055](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2602.07055)
You don't need a heavy math background to join—Maxim will break down the intuition behind these complex architectures so that the core concepts are easy to follow for everyone.
**Meeting Details:**
🗣 **Presenter:** Maxim Musin
💬 **Language of the meeting:** English
🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur
📍 **Location:** Maui coworking
(Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses. Here is the exact address: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/fjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9?g_st=ac](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Ffjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9%3Fg_st%3Dac) )
Looking forward to a great discussion this Saturday!
Aparently there is no way of fixing meetup's markdown mess, sorry for this guys, just use your abstract imagination and experience with latech to read anouncement, this markdown render problem seem so be some kind of bug, i cleaned it in the redactor but with no effect, probably copying and pasting it clean into editor will solve it, but generating clean landing page with similar capabilities in claude code would also solve it in a way, so i didn't bother, see you at saturday

Together, we’ll discover the basics of sailing through simple maneuvers, sail handling, and wind awareness — learning naturally as we exchange, ask questions, and enjoy a relaxed sail along the coast.
Beyond the technical aspects, this experience is also about **being at sea**. As we sail, you’ll enjoy a beautiful perspective of **Barcelona from the water**, learn how to observe the marine environment — and with a bit of luck, **dolphins sometimes join us**.
These meetups are guided by **Jean**, a pr**ofessional skipper and sailing instructor**, who focuses on sharing knowledge in a relaxed, safe, and supportive atmosphere.
**Prices:**
**\- 35 euros for the first session**
**\- 20 euros for following session**
Whether you’re stepping on a sailboat for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this meetup offers a meaningful and engaging way to learn, sail, and connect.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
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.
Yarn Social at Northwest Library
If you enjoy knitting, crocheting, working with yarn, this is the group for you. Meet new friends, bring your projects, learn from others.
We normally meet a few times a month during the week from 6-8pm. We will occasionally meet on weekends during daytime hours.
Cocoaheads
We have moved to guild.host. Look us up there.

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
