Memory

In the bizarre world of Franz Kafka, salesmen turn into giant bugs, apes give lectures at college academies, and nightmares probe the mysteries of modern humanity’s unhappiness. More than any other modern writer in world literature, Kafka captures the loneliness and misery that fill the lives of 20th-century humanity. The Metamorphosis and Other Stories reveals the author’s extraordinary talent in a variety of forms—prose poems, short stories, sketches, allegories, and novelettes—and showcases the straight–faced humour, startling psychological insight, and haunting imagination for which he is revered as a modern master. We will be reading the Penguin edition of Metamorphosis and Other Stories which contains the following stories: Contemplation (1913) Children on the Road Unmasking a Confidence Trickster The Sudden Walk Resolutions The Excursion into the Mountains The Plight of the Bachelor The Businessman Looking out Distractedly The Way Home The Men Running Past The Passenger Dresses The Rejection For the Consideration of Amateur Jockeys The Window on to the Street Desire to be a Red Indian The Trees Being Unhappy The Judgement: A Story for F. (1913) The Stoker: A Fragment (1913) Metamorphosis (1913) In the Penal Colony (1919) A Country Doctor: Short Prose for my Father (1920) The New Advocate A Country Doctor In the Gallery An Old Journal Before the Law Jackals and Arabs A Visit to the Mine The Neighbouring Village A Message from the Emperor The Worries of a Head of Household Eleven Sons A Fratricide A Dream A Report to an Academy A Hunger-Artist: Four Stories (1924) First Sorrow A Little Woman A Hunger-Artist Josefine, the Singer, or The Mouse People Appendix Aeroplanes in Brescia (1909) Great Noise (1912) The Coal-Scuttle Rider (1921) Available from all good libraries and book shops.

This week we'll discuss chapter 6 of [How Language Began](https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Language-Began-Humanitys-Invention/dp/1781253935/ref=sr_1_1?crid=27SNUKXPY1BWO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pTtn5alJgGZxLimiVijnr1oxTj0AiKpPdpaaVkIUio1hwzPu48_laQFrsnpFEGZMkWvnwbcALfmeyhyeuVQbcNCtoB6oD_Bg6K-GRhzBWrI.g5fzcdJdVKVgxgrTe1s6wn3c6dilMbYkHbhe_yGuzbQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=how+language+began&qid=1768693702&s=books&sprefix=how+language+began%2Cstripbooks%2C90&sr=1-1), by Daniel Everett. In this work Everett presents his views about the origin of language -- that it is a culturally evolved tool for communication, not the product of innate biological instinct or pre-wired universal grammar. If this is your first time attending we meet in the cafe of the Barbican Cinema -- look for for people with copies of How Language Began. Please read the chapter before attending.

We are back to in person pub every month! At the Sir John Oldcastle Pub right by Farringdon station. Reachable by three tube lines, national rail and bus routes. First Tuesday of every month. PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT A SEX/SWINGERS CLUB! PLEASE READ THE GROUP DESCRIPTION BEFORE JOINING While this is a free event, I'd like to request that those attending the social make a voluntary donation of £1 to help cover the admin costs of Meetup.com: https://ko-fi.com/ldnpolyam This meetup group is for anyone who is interested in openly and honestly loving more than one partner - you may call yourself polyamorous or non-monogamous or any other label you prefer, but if you are interested in having, or currently have multiple romantic and/or sexual relationships where all concerned are consenting and in full knowledge, you are welcome to come along and chat with others who understand those choices. This is NOT a dating group of singles! If you are actively looking for a partner, that's fine, but the group is not set up for the purpose of matchmaking, and some of our members are pretty "polysaturated" (i.e. they have as many relationships as they want and are not looking for more!) I'd hate for anyone to come along expecting that everyone there is looking for new partners and then be disappointed. If you are looking for new partners, look out for things like Poly Speed Dating nights, Poly Cocktails and try looking online at, for example, okcupid.com. If you receive unsolicited "let's meet" or other predatory messages from a member, please forward them to the admin team. We aim to be a safe space for everyone. Come along and talk to others about how they found their partners, too, if you like. We are a friendly group and not known to bite. ;-) You can find us by looking for the plush and inflatable parrots on our tables, or for Angus' blue hair. Alternatively ask at the bar for "Angus' group", "The poly group", or "the parrot people". We're usually in the area towards the back of the pub.

The difference? An AI agent that understands my data infrastructure. This isn't about replacing data engineers, it's about eliminating the toil that keeps us from high-value work. In this talk, I'll share practical experiments with agentic workflows from my work at AstraZeneca and teaching 20,000+ students at DataMasteryLab. We'll explore: * What agentic workflows actually are (beyond the hype) * Live demo: AI-assisted pipeline debugging with LangGraph * Practical patterns: Schema evolution, data quality monitoring, self-healing pipelines * The feature engineering bridge: Helping data scientists love you * What AI still can't do (and why that matters) Whether you're skeptical about AI hype or already experimenting, you'll leave with concrete patterns you can implement in your pipelines next week. 2. **Explore the Kingdom - Cursor the Data Engineer** - [Jethro Reeve](jethro.reeve@gmail.com) I built [explorethekingdom.co.uk](http://explorethekingdom.co.uk/ "http://explorethekingdom.co.uk") over Christmas using Cursor with Opus-4.5 and GPT-5.2 for the data engineering and UI. I've pulled \~15 Government data sources and have them represented on a map of the UK. This kind of data aggregation tool sells for thousands to niche consultancies. I built it while playing Minecraft on Boxing Day. What would you use it for? (Why) Is the software world so slow to catch up with the capabilities of vibe coding? **Lightning Talks** 1. **Github Codespaces for Data Analysis with Python - [Stelios Christodoulou](stelios.xristodoulou@gmail.com)** 2. **TBC** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Logistics** Doors open at **6.30 pm** (get there early as you'll need to sign in with building security).

If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at [cppldn.uk/speak](http://cppldn.uk/speak). **Here's the approximate schedule:** **18:30** *Doors open* **19:00** "Intro and news" - *Phil Nash* **19:10** *"compile_assert - Compile time C++ assertions" - Jonathan Grant* I present compile_assert(expression, message), a new C++ keyword proposal for enforcing assertions at compile time within ordinary (non-constexpr) functions. compile_assert provides advanced asserts at compile time, not runtime. Used for bounds checking, parameter validation and data validation at compile time. All three major compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC) are supported with a sample implementation. The example implementation does this by using GCC’s attribute error which works with Clang. **19:25** "Compile-Time Data Layout Transformation with C++26 Reflection" - *Arturs Kalnins* We’ll use C++26 static reflection and injection to convert an AoS into a SoA at compile time, live on the latest GCC, with zero macros and zero boilerplate. **19:40** *break* **20:00** "To Err is Human: Robust Error Handling in C++26" - *Sebastian Theophil* A walk through the new error handling features in C++26 — including \`std::expected\`, \`std::stacktrace\`, contracts, and more — and how they can help us write more robust, maintainable code. **21:00** *Conclusion, and moving on somewhere else* \-\-\- **About the speakers** *Sebastian* has been working at think-cell since it was founded in 2002.

Hi folks! Welcome to our March Cloud Native London meetup! Join us to hear from our three great speakers and network with your fellow techies over pizza and drinks, or alternatively chat and following along on Youtube! 6:00 Pizza and drinks 6:30 Welcome 6:45 Predictable Systems in an Unpredictable World (Behrad Babaee, Aerospike) 7:15 Observability with HAProxy: detecting what is not working and why (Baptiste Assmann, HAProxy Technologies) 7:45 Break 8:00 eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security (Alam Ahmed) 8:30 Wrap up See you there! Cheryl (@oicheryl) **Predictable Systems in an Unpredictable World (Behrad Babaee, Aerospike)** Modern systems are challenged by volatility. Traffic patterns shift without warning, workloads evolve continuously, and failures are no longer exceptional events. In this environment, average performance is meaningless. What matters is whether systems behave predictably when conditions change. This session explores how system design choices determine behavior under volatility. We will discuss why many modern architectures rely on fragile assumptions about steady-state workloads, cache locality, or predictable growth, and how those assumptions break down in real production environments. Through concrete examples and architectural discussion, we will examine what it means to design systems that remain predictable as load, access patterns, and scale evolve. The goal is not to showcase tools or benchmarks, but to build a shared mental model for thinking about predictability as a first-class system property. *Behrad Babaee is a software engineer who leads Product Marketing at Aerospike, shaping positioning and go-to-market strategy for real-time data systems in the AI era.* *He began his career building scalable, distributed applications for organisations including Barclays and Credit Suisse, before moving into architecture and field leadership roles at Aerospike and DataStax.* *Today, he combines deep engineering expertise with strategic product leadership, focusing on how organisations design systems that remain predictable, resilient and performant under real-world volatility.* **Observability with HAProxy: detecting what is not working and why (Baptiste Assmann, HAProxy Technologies)** Is it the network, the app, or the database? In complex microservices environments, "mean time to innocence" is a critical metric for platform engineers. HAProxy sits at the convergence of these traffic flows, providing a unique vantage point to answer the ultimate observability question: "WTF is going on?". We'll do a deep dive into the metrics that matter, so you can detect anomalies before users complain. You will learn: * The difference between monitoring and observability in a reverse proxy context. * How to access HAProxy’s detailed logs, stats, and stick-tables. * How to analyze the "life of a request" using precise timers to pinpoint latency sources. * How to use HAProxy’s observability features to fix real-world issues (demo) * How HAProxy Fusion provides centralized observability and automation for enterprise deployments at scale. *Baptiste Assmann is Director of Product at HAProxy Technlogoes. He spent his carreer on networking and high performance architecture. Today, he plays a key role on HAProxy's ecosystem evolution: from bare metal to Kubernetes and from load balancing to advanced security at scale and always looking forward for what's next!* **eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security (Alam Ahmed)** eBPF: Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Security from the Kernel Up Cloud-native architectures have fundamentally broken traditional security models. While 67% of organizations now delay deployments due to Kubernetes security concerns, conventional tools remain blind to the dynamic, ephemeral nature of containers—operating from the outside looking in, missing critical kernel-level threats until it's too late. This session reveals how eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is transforming cloud-native security by moving visibility and enforcement directly into the Linux kernel. Through real-world case studies from Meta, Google, and Cloudflare—where eBPF processes billions of packets per second and mitigates multi-terabit DDoS attacks—you'll discover how this technology delivers 10x performance improvements with <1% CPU overhead. We'll explore the production-ready CNCF ecosystem (Falco, Tetragon, Cilium) and demonstrate practical security observability patterns: process execution monitoring, network correlation with Kubernetes context, file integrity tracking, and syscall anomaly detection. No kernel modules. No code changes. Complete visibility. Whether you're battling container escapes, cryptojacking, or compliance gaps, this talk provides the architectural blueprint for security that matches the speed and scale of cloud-native—without sacrificing agility. *Alam Ahmed is a Junior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with NOC operations experience and a focus on cloud security. He has spoken at Elastic London and Yorkshire DevOps on Security as Code practices, contributes to open-source projects including Envoy AI Gateway, and is passionate about kernel-level observability and cloud-native defense.* ***Check out [https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon](https://www.oicheryl.com/cloudnativelondon) if you're interested in speaking or sponsoring.***

## \*Please note - to be admitted to this event you must register for approval here: [https://luma.com/lcsqwmf3](https://luma.com/lcsqwmf3) This weekend hackathon brings together LangChain and SurrealDB to explore how agents can move beyond demos by grounding themselves in structured, persistent context. As agentic systems become more autonomous, their biggest failure mode isn’t model capability - it’s context. Agents struggle with accuracy, consistency, and reasoning when memory is shallow or unstructured. Knowledge graphs provide a powerful way to represent relationships, state, and history, enabling agents to reason over how things connect, not just what text is retrieved. Over the weekend, you’ll build practical agent projects using the LangChain ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on knowledge graphs and real-world retrieval workflows, using SurrealDB as a unified data layer for graph, document, vector, and temporal data. You’ll also have plenty of time to connect with both the LangChain and SurrealDB communities in London, collaborate with other builders, and get hands-on support from mentors. *** ## Schedule **Friday** * 18:00 - Doors open, check-in, pizza & drinks * Hackathon kickoff, team formation & briefing (time TBC) **Saturday** * All day - Build, iterate, mentor support (details TBC) **Sunday** * Final build, demos & judging (details TBC) * 15:30 - Closing, winners & wrap-up Full challenge details and rules will be shared ahead of the event. *** ## What you’ll work on * Agent workflows built with LangChain * Knowledge graph–driven context and memory * Hybrid retrieval patterns (vector + graph) * Persistent agent state and evolving context * Practical, production-oriented agent use cases *** ## Prizes * Swag and LangSmith credits from LangChain * Swag from SurrealDB *** ## Why attend? This is a hands-on opportunity to build credible agent projects in a single weekend, learn production-oriented patterns, and explore how structured context improves agent accuracy and reliability. You’ll collaborate with experienced builders, get direct support from the LangChain and SurrealDB teams, and connect with the wider London agent and AI engineering community. **FAQs** **Is the venue accessible?** Absolutely! There is a lift that takes you up to Level 4 where the event is held. **Is this event for me?** SurrealDB events are for software engineers, developers, architects, data scientists, data engineers, or any tech professionals keen to discover more about SurrealDB: a scalable multi-model database that allows users and developers to focus on building their applications with ease and speed. **Am I guaranteed a ticket at this event?** Our events are tech-focused and in the interest of keeping our events relevant and meaningful for those attending, tickets are issued at our discretion.

Register: [https://luma.com/london-mar5](https://luma.com/london-mar5) **Join our meetup for AI nerds, engineers & founders!** We share the latest insights about: *AI dev tools, Agent frameworks, RAG, vibe coding, and more!* ​​\*\*// FOR WHO\*\* ✅ Devs, Product peeps, Data lovers, ML engineers, Founders ✅ Anyone building with AI ⚠️ Some LLM knowledge required!\* Neo4j Session: **Living in an Agentic World (model) by Andreas Kollegger** What if we onboarded AI agents the same way we onboard employees? That's the key insight of "context graphs" - giving agents access to why decisions are made improves their performance. This leads to \*Agentic World Models\*: the convergence point where agent memory, knowledge graphs, and context graphs meet. Agents discover written policies and unwritten tribal knowledge, learn formal org structures and informal influence networks, and capture the \*decision traces\* that explain not just what happened, but why it was the right call. We'll cover: \- how to capture decisions traces \- how to query the context graph when making decisions \- a demo of what this looks like Together, we'll put context in context.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
