Natural Language Processing

Was wäre, wenn wir wichtige Fähigkeiten für den Alltag und den Beruf trainieren könnten, während wir einfach nur gemeinsam lachen und eine gute Zeit haben? Bei diesem Spieleabend nutzen wir die gesamte Bandbreite moderner Spiele als das, was sie im Kern sind: Ein absolut stressfreies Labor für soziale Kompetenz, strategisches Denken und echtes Miteinander. Ganz im Sinne von "Lernen zum Spaß" lassen wir die graue Theorie komplett weg und stürzen uns direkt ins gemeinsame Erleben! Wir haben für jeden Geschmack die passende spielerische Herausforderung dabei – und jede davon schult ganz bestimmte Fähigkeiten: * **Deduktionsspiele (Logik & Analytisches Denken):** Bei diesen Formaten geht es um messerscharfe Logik und das systematische Kombinieren von Fakten. Du lernst, verstreute Informationen strukturiert zu verknüpfen, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen und durch ein präzises Ausschlussverfahren Geheimnisse zu lüften. * **Worker-Placement-Spiele (Strategie & Ressourcenmanagement):** Hier lernst du, knappe Ressourcen optimal zu verwalten, langfristig zu planen und deine Strategie flexibel anzupassen, wenn ein Mitspieler dir einen wertvollen Platz wegschnappt. Das ist angewandtes Projektmanagement im Kleinformat! * **Social Deduction Games (Psychologie & Menschenkenntnis):** Hier stehen geheime Identitäten und das feine Spiel mit der Wahrheit im Vordergrund. Du schärfst deine Wahrnehmung, lernst zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen, Körpersprache zu deuten und deine eigene Überzeugungskraft beim Bluffen und Argumentieren gezielt einzusetzen. * **Kooperative Spiele (Teamwork & Empathie):** Bei diesen Team-Highlights gewinnen oder verlieren wir nur gemeinsam. Hier trainierst du Vertrauen, intensive Koordination untereinander und die Fähigkeit, dich vollkommen auf die Perspektive und Denkweise deiner Mitspieler einzustellen. ### Was wir an diesem Abend ganz nebenbei lernen: * **Kommunikation & Flexibilität:** Egal ob Kooperation oder Wettbewerb – wir schulen unsere Ausdrucksweise, die Wahrnehmung unseres Gegenübers und das gemeinsame Lösen komplexer Probleme. * **Resilienz & Emotionale Stärke:** Der spielerische Umgang mit kniffligen Situationen und Team-Herausforderungen trainiert unsere emotionale Intelligenz und Gelassenheit für das echte Leben. Bring super gerne auch deine eigenen Favoriten aus diesen Bereichen mit. Ob du neue Taktiken ausprobieren, deine Logik schärfen oder einfach nur tolle neue Menschen kennenlernen willst: Du bist hier genau richtig! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- What if we could train essential skills for everyday life and our careers while simply laughing together and having a great time? At this game night, we use the full spectrum of modern games for what they truly are at their core: an absolutely stress-free laboratory for social competence, strategic thinking, and genuine togetherness. In the spirit of "Learning for Fun," we skip the dry theory completely and dive straight into the shared experience! We have the perfect playful challenge for every taste – and each one trains very specific skills: * **Worker Placement Games (Strategy & Resource Management):** Here you learn to manage scarce resources optimally, plan long-term, and flexibly adapt your strategy when another player snatches a valuable spot from you. This is applied project management in miniature! * **Deduction Games (Logic & Analytical Thinking):** These formats are all about razor-sharp logic and systematically combining facts. You learn to connect scattered pieces of information in a structured way, ask the right questions, and uncover secrets through a precise process of elimination. * **Social Deduction Games (Psychology & Reading People):** Here, secret identities and the subtle game of truth take center stage. You sharpen your perception, learn to read between the lines, interpret body language, and purposefully use your own power of persuasion when bluffing and arguing. * **Cooperative Games (Teamwork & Empathy):** In these team highlights, we only win or lose together. Here you train trust, intense coordination with one another, and the ability to adapt completely to the perspective and mindset of your fellow players. ### What we learn along the way: * **Communication & Flexibility:** Whether cooperation or competition – we train our way of expression, the perception of our counterpart, and solving complex problems together. * **Resilience & Emotional Strength:** Dealing playfully with tricky situations and team challenges trains our emotional intelligence and composure for real life. Feel free to bring your own favorites from these categories. Whether you want to try out new tactics, sharpen your logic, or just meet great new people: you've come to the right place!

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce **Vienna's first official** **Codex Community Build Meetup**, co-hosted with **Vienna AI Engineering** on Saturday, June 20! It's a full-day, hands-on event for learning to build with Codex (OpenAI's coding agent) and with AI agents in general. This isn't a lecture: bring your laptop, pick the track that fits your level, and spend the day building alongside mentors and Codex experts. Come with an idea or just show up ready to learn. The goal is to leave with something you made, a clearer sense of how AI agents fit into real software work, and new people in Vienna's builder community. Whether you're already using Codex or simply curious about coding agents, this is your chance to connect with peers and see how AI is transforming the way we build software. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ IMPORTANT: [Register on Luma](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0), not here! To avoid double-bookings, RSVPs on Meetup are limited to the Organizer Team only. The 170 spots are all on Luma, and that's the only place to sign up. 👉 Register here: [https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0) Check-in at the door uses the Luma guest list, so please make sure you're registered there. When you register, you'll pick the track that fits you best: 🟢 AI Beginner: a guided path from first setup to a small working project 🟡 AI Intermediate: practical Codex workflows for prototyping, testing, and shipping faster 🔴 AI Advanced: bring your own project and push a more ambitious build Each group has a suggested track and mentors on hand throughout the day. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Why Luma? Some of our partners, like OpenAI, use Luma to coordinate events worldwide, so we use it for branded events like this one. To hear about future events first, subscribe to our Luma calendar: [https://luma.com/vienna-ai-engineering](https://luma.com/vienna-ai-engineering) 📍 Venue WU Wien, Library & Learning Center (LC) Welthandelspl. 1, 1020 Wien 🗓️ Schedule 09:30 - Coffee & networking 10:00 - Kickoff, Codex intro & mentor introductions 11:00 - Build session 1 12:30 - Lunch 13:00 - Build session 2 15:00 - Project presentations 16:30 - Networking 17:30 - Close 🎒 What to bring Just your laptop and charger.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. 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.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
