Explorons nos richesses
Explorons nos richesses
**Pourquoi cet atelier ?** Mille richesses et mille compétences dorment en nous mais personne, y compris nous-mêmes, ne les a suffisamment reconnues. Elles ne demandent pourtant qu’à s’affirmer, de façon juste, pour devenir nos alliées dans notre vie personnelle et professionnelle. Mobiliser nos ressources, les conjuguer avec celles de nos proches, créer avec eux de nouvelles richesses, les partager équitablement : ce n’est pas un rêve... juste un chemin à explorer. **Pour qui ?** * Pour celles et ceux qui ont été freinés plus que soutenus dans la prise de conscience de leurs richesses de toutes sortes... * ...et qui ont besoin d’affirmer plus joyeusement leur puissance d’exister et d’agir. **Comment cela se passe ?** * Le groupe comporte entre 4 et 10 personnes. Chaque séance dure environ 2 heures ; * Les participant.e.s y travaillent alternativement par deux et en grand groupe ; * Ils explorent leurs propres richesses selon différentes approches. **Quels bénéfices pour les participants ?** * Dans cet atelier, vous pourrez nommer vos richesses et vous en réjouir ; * Puis les affirmer dans le monde social, et y vivre mieux.

Soirée IA : Recursive Language Models & Native Kotlin AI Agent for Android (Koo
[RSVP Link (Obligatoire - Waitlist)](https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-paris-presents-soiree-ia-recursive-language-models-amp-native-kotlin-ai-agent-for-android-koog/) Rejoignez-nous le 31 Mars chez eXalt pour une immersion totale dans l'IA ! 🚀 De la théorie à la pratique, nous explorerons les frontières du possible avec : Recherche : La gestion du contexte via les Recursive Language Models. Implémentation : Créer des Agents IA natifs sur Android avec le framework Koog. Un grand merci à eXalt IT qui nous accueille et sponsorise cette soirée. On finit bien sûr par une session networking ! 🕒 Agenda 18h30 : Accueil & Networking 👋 19h00 : Talk 1 : Recursive Language Models + Q&A 19h40 : Talk 2 : Koog - Intégrer nativement des Agents IA sur Android + Q&A 20h30 : Buffet & Échanges 🧀 🎤 Talk 1 : Recursive Language Models (RLMs) 🧠 [FR] 🇫🇷 Même les modèles les plus avancés comme GPT-5 souffrent de la « dégradation contextuelle » (context rot) : les performances s’effondrent dès que les entrées s’allongent et que les tâches gagnent en complexité. Dans cette présentation, j'introduirai les Recursive Language Models (RLM), un nouveau paradigme d'inférence révolutionnaire qui permet aux LLM de traiter des volumes de données dépassant largement les limites de leur fenêtre contextuelle native. Inspirés des algorithmes « out-of-core » (hors mémoire vive), les RLM traitent le prompt comme un objet résidant dans un environnement externe — une boucle REPL Python. Le modèle écrit alors du code pour explorer, décomposer et s'auto-invoquer de manière récursive sur des segments gérables de l'entrée. Les résultats sont impressionnants : les RLM gèrent des entrées jusqu'à deux ordres de grandeur supérieurs à la fenêtre contextuelle de base. Ils surpassent systématiquement l'inférence directe, la compression de contexte, les agents RAG (retrieval) et les agents de génération de code — souvent avec des écarts à deux chiffres — sur des tâches allant du « needle-in-a-haystack » (l’aiguille dans la botte de foin) au raisonnement par paires à complexité quadratique. Plan de l'intervention Le problème de la dégradation contextuelle (context-rot) Le paradigme RLM : comment la récursion et un environnement d'exécution de code changent la donne Passage à l'échelle sur les tâches à long contexte Résultats clés : benchmarks, modèles de référence et domaines de prédilection des RLM Limites, questions ouvertes et perspectives de recherche 👤 Speaker : Sonny Mupfuni (AI Engineer & PyTorch Ambassador) 🎤 Talk 2 : Koog : Intégrer nativement des Agents IA dans votre application Android 🤖📱 [FR]🇫🇷 Dans cette session, vous découvrirez les bases de Koog, le nouveau framework Kotlin open source permettant de créer facilement des agents d'IA directement sur la JVM. Nous aborderons les points suivants : Comment configurer Koog pour l'intégrer dans un projet Android. Comment écrire un agent simple, exécuté une seule fois, qui communique avec une API tierce. Comment connecter l'agent à un modèle de langage (tel qu'OpenAI ou Google Gemini). Comment afficher les résultats dans une interface utilisateur Compose basique. 👤 Speaker : Loic Vyncke (Développeur Android Sénior, eXalt IT) ⚠️ Inscription obligatoire. ‼️ Pour ne manquer aucune notification concernant nos invitations et nos événements, inscrivez-vous sur Bevy.

Correction Moonrise Picnic Thurs Apr 2nd, 8:30-10 PM, Pont des Arts
Correction Moonrise Picnic Thurs Apr 2nd, 8:30-10 PM, Pont des Arts
**Ahoy there,** **Next full moon picnic will be Thursday, April 2 from 8:30 PM until 10 PM.** Sunset will be at 8 PM and moonrise around 9:30 PM. April is known by American Indians for the Full Pink Moon or the Full Sprouting Grass Moon or the Egg Moon. Indian tribes on the coast called it the Full Fish Moon because that's when shad swam upstream to spawn. "Shad Swam Upstream to Spawn" is also the name of the first rock song by Sha Na Na before they became famous. **WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drink to share. **WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around the 3rd bench from the Right Bank (Louvre) side of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli. **WHEN**: Thursday April 2 from 8:30 pm - 10 pm **WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around. **WHO**: You and your friends. **THEME**: April Fools +1 **HOW** to find us: Look for a group of English and French speaking "lunatics" standing around a bench near the center of the bridge. Look for a small white telescope on a tripod if the weather is good. **BIRTHDAYS**: Are you an Aries? If so, let me know so we can celebrate your birthday this month and blow out the world’s largest birthday candle. **WHAT DID YOU MISS LAST MONTH?** On March 4th we were treated to a spectacular view of the moon thru the cupola atop the Theatre de Sarah Bernhardt at Place de Chatelet. Of course most of you missed it because you didn’t come to the picnic or you were too busy socializing to look through the telescope. A handful of us and quite a few passersby were thrilled to glimpse this view that only lasts for a couple of minutes. In April, if my log notes are correct, we may get to see the Sainte Chapelle spire rooster standing on the moon. (Maybe Notre Dame rooster also?) **PUZZLER**: Star clusters are groups of stars that share an origin, forming at roughly the same time and location, and are tied together by gravity for up to millions or even billions of years. A recent scientific publication on Solar and Stellar Astrophysics in the Acta Prima Aprilia Journal shows that 66 star clusters within 500 parsecs of our solar system are ALL pointed towards our sun, indicating that perhaps we are the center of the unverse after all. How can you explain this revolutionary discovery? **PUZZLER ANSWER:** The faulty answer, dear brutish reader, is not in our stars. But in ourselves. The answer ***lies*** in today's theme. It turns out that the every year astronomers world-wide are invited to submit their research papers to be published in Acta Prima Aprilia (get it?). Here are comments from a couple of peer reviews: **Reviewer 1:** This work provides a clever analysis of open cluster structure which is well thought out and aptly summarized. The discovery of geomancy or feng shui in the universe itself is a triumph of anthropocentrism. **Reviewer 2:** While I can find no flaws in the analysis or consideration of uncertainties in distance measurements, I am curious as to why the authors failed to cite prior groundbreaking work exploring our special place in the universe. I would hope to see specific citations such as *Ptolemy et al.* 150, *Tycho Brahe* 1588, and *The Catholic Church* 1616. For this and other groundbreaking articles in Acta Prima Aprilia: [https://astrobites.org/2025/04/03/april-fools-2025/](https://astrobites.org/2025/04/03/april-fools-2025/) **ciao for niao,** **Captain Bob**

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English
Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

The market changed—and most investors are still operating like it didn't. Deals that used to work don't. Buyers want different things. And a lot of what's being taught right now is outdated or just wrong. And, since 2011, it's been our job to make sure that our members are armed with the most up-to-date, real-world strategies for building wealth in Central Ohio real estate… …so our mission with this meeting (and every meeting) is to give you the no-hype, warts-and-all info you need to succeed. First, Wholesaling 101—a clear, real-world look at how wholesaling actually works today, what to pay, and how to stay out of trouble. Then, Creative Deal Autopsies—real investors breaking down real deals with real numbers, real conversations, and real outcomes. You'll also get the chance to put the presenters in the hot seat and ask any and every question you have about how they did their deals. You'll learn: 1. What wholesaling actually is 2. How to calculate real offers 3. Where deals are coming from now 4. What buyers want 5. How creative deals are structured 6. What contracts and terms are used 7. What can go wrong—and how to avoid it **Agenda:** 5:00–6:00: Free Light Dinner and Networking 6:00: Earlybird Meeting – Wholesaling 101 7:00: Buy-Sell-Trade (members only) 7:30: Creative Deal Autopsies Members: Free First-time guests: Free Non-members: $35 (or join for $30 instead) Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-PERSON-in-Columbus-Creative-Deal-Autopsies-Wholesaling-101-14-4-7-2026)** and register on our website!

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
