Csatlakozz hozzĂĄnk egy barĂĄti kocsmĂĄzĂĄsra, ahol nem elĆadĂĄs, hanem beszĂ©lgetĂ©s lesz a közĂ©ppontban.
AkĂĄr kezdĆ vagy, aki most ismerkedik a ChatGPT-vel Ă©s tĂĄrsaival, akĂĄr mĂĄr napi szinten dolgozol AI-megoldĂĄsokkal, itt helyed van.
**Mire szĂĄmĂthatsz:**
* Kötetlen beszĂ©lgetĂ©s sör, bor vagy ĂŒdĂtĆ mellett

* Ăj ismeretsĂ©gek hasonlĂł Ă©rdeklĆdĂ©sƱ emberekkel
* BarĂĄtsĂĄgos, nyitott közeg â nincs buta kĂ©rdĂ©s
**IdĆpont:** [10.08. 19:00]
**HelyszĂn:** [Esetleg, Budapest]
**RĂ©szvĂ©tel:** Ingyenes, de kĂ©rlek jelezd rĂ©szvĂ©teli szĂĄndĂ©kod, hogy tudjuk, hĂĄny fĆre foglaljunk!
Alkalom #1 - EsztĂ©tika Ă©s annak befolyĂĄsa Ă©rtĂ©kĂtĂ©leteinkre
â*Ha összetaposol egy csĂłtĂĄnyt, hĆs vagy; ha egy szĂ©p pillangĂłt, gonosztevĆ. Az erkölcsnek vannak esztĂ©tikai kritĂ©riumai.*â
Friedrich Nietzsche
â*A mƱvĂ©szet nem önmagĂĄrĂłl szĂłl, hanem arrĂłl a figyelemrĆl, amit felĂ© irĂĄnyĂtunk.*â
Marcel Duchamp
ĂdvözlĂŒnk az elsĆ, magyar nyelven megrendezett filozĂłfiai beszĂ©lgetĂ©sĂŒnkön! Ez egy kĂsĂ©rlet is: közös gondolkodĂĄs, kĂ©rdezĂ©s Ă©s nĂ©zĆpontvĂĄltĂĄs â nem elĆadĂĄs, nem vita, hanem figyelmes jelenlĂ©t. Ezzel az alkalommal egy olyan tĂ©mĂĄt vĂĄlasztottunk, amely nap mint nap hat rĂĄnk, mĂ©gis ritkĂĄn ĂĄllunk meg kellĆ alapossĂĄggal megvizsgĂĄlni: az esztĂ©tikĂĄt.
Mindannyian folyamatosan esztĂ©tikai ĂtĂ©leteket hozunk. EmberekrĆl, mĂĄrkĂĄkrĂłl, tĂĄrgyakrĂłl, vĂĄrosokrĂłl, Ă©telekrĆl, rituĂĄlĂ©krĂłl. De vajon ezen ĂtĂ©leteink tĂ©nyleg csak az âĂzlĂ©sĂŒnkbĆlâ fakadnak?
VelĂŒnk szĂŒletett adottsĂĄg, vagy tanulĂĄs Ă©s nevelĂ©s eredmĂ©nyei? Az esztĂ©tika nem pusztĂĄn kĂŒlsĆsĂ©gekrĆl szĂłl.
**ĂrtĂ©krendszer.**
FormĂĄlja a vĂĄgyainkat, az identitĂĄsunkat, a bizalmunkat, Ă©s bizonyos esetekben maguknak a dolgoknak a jelentĂ©sĂ©t is. Ez az alkalom nem arrĂłl szĂłl, hogy âmi szĂ©pâ.
ArrĂłl szĂłl, honnan **jön a szĂ©psĂ©g**, miĂ©rt van ekkora hatĂĄsa az Ă©letĂŒnkre, Ă©s hogyan hatĂĄroz meg â vagy akĂĄr alakĂt â annyi mindent körĂŒlöttĂŒnk. Nem kell mƱvĂ©szeti vagy divatszakĂ©rtĆnek lenned, de lĂ©gy nyitott kĂŒlönbözĆ nĂ©zĆpontokra. Ha mindenki egyetĂ©rt, akkor a beszĂ©lgetĂ©s valĂłszĂnƱleg kudarcot vallott.
**Az alkalom menete**
1. **BemutatkozĂĄs (10 perc)**
KĂ©rĂŒnk, hozz magaddal egy tĂĄrgyat (lehet egy kĂ©p a telefonodon is), amit szĂ©pnek tartasz. Lehet irodalmi idĂ©zet, egy gondolat, egy koncepciĂł â bĂĄrmi, amit esztĂ©tikailag Ă©rtĂ©kesnek tartasz.
2. **BevezetĂ©s az esztĂ©tikĂĄba â Hallay Erik filozĂłfus**
**(kb. 20 perc)**
Erik rövid ĂĄttekintĂ©st ad az esztĂ©tika fogalmĂĄrĂłl, törtĂ©netĂ©rĆl Ă©s jelenĂ©rĆl.
3. **Kérdések, amelyeket a beszélgetés sorån körbejårunk:**
**(kb. 1 Ăłra 30 perc)**
4. VelĂŒnk szĂŒletett a âjĂł ĂzlĂ©sâ, vagy tanuljuk?
5. A szépség tårsadalmi konstrukció?
6. Lehet valami csĂșnya mĂ©gis szĂ©p â Ă©s fordĂtva?
7. Létezhetnek egyetemes esztétikai mércék?
8. LĂ©tezhet mƱvĂ©szet közönsĂ©g nĂ©lkĂŒl?
9. Van-e evolĂșciĂłs elĆnye a szĂ©psĂ©gnek?
10. A vågy formålja az esztétikåt, vagy az esztétika a vågyat?
11. MagadĂ©rt öltözködsz Ășgy ahogy, vagy a tĂĄrsadalmi elfogadĂĄsĂ©rt?
12. Lehet a szépség erkölcsi ållåsfoglalås?
13. A mƱvészetnek meg kell nyugtasson, fel kell kavarjon, vagy próbåra kell tennie érzéki preferenciåinkat?
14. Lehet-e esztétikai értéke az AI åltal generålt mƱvészetnek?
15. ElveszĂti-e egy mƱalkotĂĄs az Ă©rtĂ©kĂ©t, ha könnyen megismĂ©telhetĆ?
16. TĂșlĂ©rtĂ©kelt az eredetisĂ©g?
17. Ha holnap eltƱnne az esztĂ©tika, mit veszĂtenĂ©nk el elĆször: az örömöt, az Ă©rtelmet vagy hierarchikus viszonyokat?
18. MorĂĄlisan felelĆsek-e a mƱvĂ©szek a munkĂĄjukĂ©rt?
19. Hol hĂșzĂłdik a hatĂĄr mƱvĂ©szet Ă©s design között?
20. MiĂ©rt fordĂtunk több figyelmet a âszĂ©pâ fajok vĂ©delmĂ©re, miközben a âcsĂșnyĂĄkatâ figyelmen kĂvĂŒl hagyjuk?
**RSVP:** KĂ©rjĂŒk, jelezd rĂ©szvĂ©teledet a Meetup felĂŒletĂ©n, hogy biztosĂtani tudjunk szĂĄmodra helyet. Ha teheted, akkor megköszönnĂ©nk, ha **400 Ft** vagy afeletti Ă©rtĂ©kben hozzĂĄjĂĄrulnĂĄl adomĂĄnyoddal a meetup költsĂ©geinek fedezĂ©sĂ©re.

Reston Happy Hour: Scaling Cloud Infrastructure for Heavy Workloads
Gaming, AdTech, EdTech, Media Streaming, and FinTech are just a few of the workloads where high-availability cloud infrastructure matters. Whether youâre doing battle daily in one of these spaces or are just curious about ways to improve performance, meet us in Reston for an in-person discussion on bare metal cloud architecture. Youâll meet our product lead, James MacKenzie, who will walk through how modern bare metal serves as a control plane for hybrid and private cloud architectures.
**What we will cover**
* Ways to leverage bare metal, containers, and orchestration for better performance and predictable economics;
* Real-world hybrid, disaster recovery, and data-intensive architectures;
* Our approach to eliminating ingress and egress fees.
**Who should attend**
* Cloud architects and platform engineers;
* DevOps professionals and infrastructure leads;
* FinOps stakeholders managing data-heavy or hybrid workloads.
**Why attend**
This is a technical, architecture-first conversation. You will leave with a clearer understanding of high-availability cloud infrastructure and how organizations are scaling cost-effectively.
Food and drinks will be provided. Space is limited to keep the discussion interactive.
Card Sharks of Crossroads
When it's getting late on a Friday and you don't have other plans, come over for some old-fashioned card-playing! We can play anything and everything, from Euchre and Pinochle to Hearts and Spades to Bridge and Rummy, and maybe even some Poker or Blackjack! It's up to whomever shows up. We'll get a table (or several) at the bar so the drinks (if you so desire) are handy!
NOVA Code & Coffee [160] - At FCED Venue
NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and donuts! Here's how it works:
1. At 10:15 everyone introduces themselves and briefly describes what brought them to Code & Coffee today (project, homework, networking, etc)
2. For the rest of the day, folks work in the communal space on their projects providing one another help and conversation as needed. Oh and they usually drink coffee and tea too!
That's it! Hope to see you there!
