Novel Writing

Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [here](https://eventfrog.ch//de/p/kunst-ausstellungen/weitere-kunstveranstaltungen/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7477705897797503513.html) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material.

Sessions of **individual runic readings** are available for beginners all along summer, both online (75 CHF) and offline in Zurich (100 CHF). These sessions are **NOT** esoteric or divinatory. We're approaching runes as **a symbolic system of archetypes** to examine any situation or question that is currently relevant to you. *If you feel stuck in a situation and cannot see a way forward, are facing a difficult decision, navigating a period of uncertainty, or trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life, a runic reading may offer a different perspective.* **You will receive:** • a clearer and systemic understanding of what is actually happening; • insight into hidden influences affecting the situation; • a better understanding of why certain difficulties keep repeating; • greater clarity around available options and their likely consequences; • practical ideas for what to do next.

Welcome to the **Task-Buddies** event of the **Zürich Productivity Circle**, where we bring together like-minded individuals to work on personal goals and share the experience of growth in a supportive community. Maybe you are building a business or side hustle, studying for a course, learning a new (programming) language, figuring the tax system out, writing code, prose, or poetry, researching new stocks for your portfolio, tackling your German homework, or upskilling for your job. In all of these cases and more, this is the perfect space for you. In fact, productivity does not end there. Even if you just want to read a psychology book to resolve a personal struggle, sketch a mountain, listen to podcasts, organize your week, respond to unanswered emails and messages, enjoy a novel, or just reflect and meditate, you are very welcome here. For any task that adds positively to your life and can be done sitting down with others (exception: anything noisy/disruptive/disrespectful), you will fit into the events. We will meet at a work-friendly café in Zürich and follow the agenda below. **Agenda:** * **Introductions and drinks (20-30 mins):** Start with a round of introductions to get to know each other and share what we'll be working on, buy our food and/or drinks (alternatively one can also buy them later on). * **Productive focussed Work Session (1-2 hours)** Dive into your individual tasks in a focussed, distraction-free environment. * **Collective Breaks and Socializing (\~15 mins, scattered in-between):** Take planned breaks to stretch, chat, get more coffee, and share insights about your projects. * **Continued Work Session (1-2 hours):** Get back to your tasks with renewed focus and motivation. * **Wrap-Up and Reflections (15+ mins):** Conclude with a reflection on what we accomplished, share productivity tips or questions, discuss plans for future meetups, stay back for more chit chat if you like. **What to Bring:** * Your project or task materials (laptop, charger, books, sketchpad, pen, etc.) * Respectful and kind demeanour * A positive attitude and a willingness to share and learn **Note:** Please ensure that your tasks are suitable for a quiet, communal setting. We aim to maintain a respectful and conducive environment for everyone. **Venue Courtesy:** Out of courtesy for the venue, please buy something to eat or drink for yourself. This helps support the café and ensures we can continue to use their space for our meetups.

**Speakers:** Paulo Martins (GitLab) – **We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke** Gianlorenzo Occhipinti (Exa) – **Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice** Marius Colacioiu (Norm) - **Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents** **Agenda:** 17:30-17:40 – Welcome & intro 17:40 – 18:10: Paulo Martins 18:15 – 18:45: Gianlorenzo Occhipinti 18:45 – 19:15: Marius Colacioiu **Abstract**: **We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke** As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I’ll explore the concept of “detect and prevent prompt injection” and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents. \-\-\- **Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice** An LLM is a lossy compression of the internet: the long tail gets blurred, concepts interfere, and anything after the training cutoff simply doesn't exist. The fix isn't a bigger model, it's giving agents the ability to search. This talk walks through the shift from classic retrieve-then-read RAG to agentic search, where the search engine becomes part of the agent's environment and the model learns what, when, and how to query: decomposing questions, parallelizing searches, and chaining multi-hop lookups \-\-\- **Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents** AI coding agents are becoming useful fast, but they still do not know the local truth of your codebase. This talk shows how to make repo-local context durable so agents produce work that fits the project and humans can still understand, review, and maintain what gets merged.

**The first book in the *Between Earth and Sky* trilogy, inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.** *A god will return* *When the earth and sky converge* *Under the black sun* In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain. ***\*\**** *The event takes place in the Library of the Regenbogenhaus, which is open from 15h00-19h00 on Wednesdays. You're welcome to visit the library, before the book discussion in the House of Colour* \*\* \*\* **Reminder:** The Sci-Fi & Fantasy books group meets monthly, and has a limit of 12 persons (due to venue size at the Regenbogenhaus). The Sci-Fi Fantasy group has a Whatsapp Group chat, and Excel sheet for suggesting and voting on books to read. **Suggest books and vote here**: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M23Vst0aClZS5SOZN-CGDcaQRsQtO8_h18l7xChf1no/edit?gid=966314652#gid=966314652
