Python rajongóknak: A függvények világa
💜 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.
📍 Helyszín
Balance Irodaház – 7. emelet Dél (Lifttől balra)

Nested Learning - a new paradigm in machine learning
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

English Book Club - February
#### **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.

Alkalom #3 - Születés és antinatalizmus – A gyerekvállalás erkölcsi kérdései
*„Ha a gyerekek pusztán az ész szavára jönnének a világra, vajon fennmaradna-e az emberiség?"*
Arthur Schopenhauer.
(A program magyar nyelven zajlik.)
Az antinatalizmis egy kényelmetlen kérdést tesz fel: **Erkölcsileg igazolható-e, hogy új embert hozzunk a világra?**
Egy olyan világban, amit szenvedés, bizonytalanság, egyenlőtlenség és társadalmi törékenység jellemez, egyes filozófusok amellett érvelnek, hogy meg nem születni jobb lehet, mint megszületni. Ez az alkalom az antinatalizmust járja körül, olyan gondolkodókon keresztül, mint Schopenhauer és David Benatar.
De ez már rég nem pusztán filozófiai kérdés.
Ma a születési ráták a világ nagy részén zuhannak. Az államok ösztönzőkkel, korlátozásokkal és népesedéspolitikával avatkoznak be. A technológia elválasztja a szexet a terhességtől, a szaporodást pedig magától az emberi testtől.
Ez az alkalom a születést és az antinatalizmust a **filozófia, a demográfia, a politika és a technológia metszéspontjában vizsgálja.**
**Bevezető (15 perc) Rövid vendégbemutatóval indítunk.**
**Megbeszélendő kérdések (1 óra 45 perc):**
1. Ha lenne lehetőséged választani, szeretnél újra megszületni?
2. Lehet-e valaha is etikus életet ráerőltetni valakire a beleegyezése nélkül?
3. Mondhatjuk-e értelmesen, hogy valaki „jobban vagy rosszabbul jár", ha sosem létezik?
4. Mennyi szenvedés elég ahhoz, hogy az életet ne legyen érdemes elkezdeni?
5. Mi a rosszabb: kockáztatni a szenvedést vagy megtagadni magát a létezést?
6. A társadalom nyomást gyakorol-e az emberekre, hogy szaporodjanak a gazdasági vagy kulturális túlélés érdekében?
7. Ha az antinatalizmusnak igaza van, mi következik belőle? Örökbefogadás? Önkéntes kihalás?
8. Lehet-e egy új élet létrehozása erkölcsileg semleges tett vagy jobb egy már meglévő életet folytatni?
9. A gyerekvállalás a remény cselekedete vagy a tagadásé?
10. Lehet-e egy olyan társadalom, ami nem szaporodik, még politikai közösség? Vagy már csak adminisztratív? Az antinatalizmus politikailag destabilizáló? (Film: The children of men, Hannah Arendt)
11. Befagyna-e a politika generációs utánpótlás nélkül?
12. A halhatatlanság megszüntetné a fejlődést — vagy stabilizálná?
13. A halhatatlan társadalmak alapértelmezetten konzervatívvá válnának-e?
14. A „gyermekvállaláshoz való jog" feltétlen vagy feltételekhez kellene kötni? Ha az örökbefogadáshoz szűrés kell, miért nem kell a biológiai szülőséghez is?
15. Milyen következményei lennének, ha a mesterséges méhek működőképessé válnának?
16. Mi történik, ha a szaporodás technikai folyamattá válik emberi helyett? (Ajánlott dokumentumfilm: „The Man with 1000 Kids" a Netflixen)
17. Az egygyermek-politika etikai katasztrófa volt? Vagy brutális, de racionális válasz az anyagi korlátokra? Ha a túlnépesedés tömeges szenvedést okoz, erkölcsileg védhető-e valaha a kényszerű születésszabályozás?
18. Ha a szülők súlyos betegségekre szűrik az embriókat, az eugenika vagy felelősség?
19. Miért erkölcstelen az állami szelekció, de a piaci szelekció elfogadható?
20. A hagyományos nukleáris család az egyetlen erkölcsileg elfogadható módja a gyereknevelésnek?
**RSVP:** Kérjük, erősítsd meg a részvételedet a Meetup oldalon.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

We'll hike about 5 miles at [Highbanks Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks, coffee, or food (their Sunday [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) is Venezuelan and always gets good reviews).
The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by noon.
**How to find our starting point in Big Meadows:**
If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park).
Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.
