PyData Prague #35 - Probably unreliable vulnerabilities
Hello Python extractors and vulnerable agents,
The 35th PyData meetup will take place at **Aisle offices** (Palác Zlatý kříž, 2nd floor). As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as **18:00** to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks).
Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.
⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning.
**What a Single-File LLM Security Analyzer Taught Us?**
**([Stanislav Fort](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanislav-fort/), Aisle)**
High-quality AI security research can uncover real vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. AISLE is one example of this higher-signal approach, with validated findings in projects like OpenSSL and curl. At the same time, low-quality AI-generated reports are flooding open-source maintainers with false positives.
How hard is it to find a security bug? We will explore that question through nano-analyzer, a deliberately simple open-source security scanner. For many vulnerability classes, the surprising core is not a complex platform, but a well-aimed LLM call wrapped in the right workflow.
This simplicity has limits. The approach may miss obvious issues, hallucinate risky findings, or produce inconsistent results across runs. That is why validation, triage, benchmarking, and human judgment matter, and why the real challenge is building reliable processes around unreliable primitives.
**Getting reliable text when PDFs lie and OCR fails**
**([Marcela Brichtová Piptová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcela-brichtov%C3%A1-piptov%C3%A1-b950ba184/), Rossum)**
LLMs need text as an input. So before a model can reason about a document, we have to read the text, a step often treated as the "easy part" or a solved problem. But is it?
In this talk, we will explore the hidden complexities of text extraction. This is especially critical for models like Rossum's T-LLM, an encoder-only architecture which heavily relies on high-quality input. You will learn why transactional documents are sometimes surprisingly hard for OCR, why you can't always just copy-paste text from a PDF, and why text extraction is still a topic for Rossum researchers (and our customer support team).
Frontend Crew Talk: When tools move faster than us
**Frontend developers in 2026 are spoiled for choice. New frameworks promising freedom, AI assistants promising to handle the boring parts. But between the framework debates and the quiet burnout, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?**
Join us on **Tuesday, May 26**, for an evening focused on the honest reality of frontend development in 2026. Four engineers from Applifting and Mews will share what's actually working—and what isn't—in framework decisions, AI workflows, and the human side of keeping up with constant change.
Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.**
👉[ Register here](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) 👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!**
**Who’s speaking?**
**[Michal Čížek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-%C4%8D%C3%AD%C5%BEek/)**, senior frontend developer at Applifting, will open with a side-by-side comparison of Next.js and TanStack Start—two frameworks with fundamentally different philosophies—to help you pick for your next project.
**[Jan Marek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j4n-marek/)**, senior software engineer at Mews, will follow with how frustration and laziness can guide useful AI workflows, automating each “I don't want to do this manually” from Slack thread to announcement.
**[Tereza Šimková](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simkovat/)**, also a senior frontend developer at Applifting, will offer an honest, non-technical look at the hidden psychological toll of working with AI coding assistants.
Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Matyas Mihálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matyasmih%C3%A1lka/)**, frontend tech lead at Applifting, bringing a grounded take on what AI coding tools actually deliver day-to-day and how to adopt them without burning out.
**We look forward to meeting you!**

Teaching AI Agents to Read Maps
PangeAI is building agent-driven geospatial intelligence for anyone, turning natural language queries into instant spatial analysis and decisions, with no GIS knowledge required. Backed by autonomous agents we're focused on use cases geospatial context drive real decisions. We're headquartered in the Bay Area with our European HQ right next door in Prague.
Maps encode rich spatial context that today's AI agents largely fail to interpret. In this talk, I'll share how we're teaching agents to "read" maps in production at PangeAI starting with geospatial embeddings as a practical foundation for geo-similarity detection, then layering multi-agentic orchestration on top to generate strategic geospatial insights at scale. Along the way, I'll walk through the tooling and frameworks we've built to make all of this tractable for engineers, with real-world examples and open questions at the intersection of geospatial data and agentic AI.
Oh, and the [survey](https://swalgeqfetb.typeform.com/to/UywC1NvW)? Still open — developers only. And there's [LEGO ](https://www.lego.com/cs-cz/product/the-razor-crest-75447)waiting for whoever fills it out. 🧱

Dialogues #37 - Topic: How We Die
In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that.
Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to How We Die.
We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired:
What does it mean to die?
Do we have a right to die? Can we lose it?
Can we be forced to stay alive?
Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics
18:00 – Doors open
18:15 – Introduction & topic selection
18:40 - We start discussions
19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities)
20:00 - Networking & Connect
What to expect:
A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike
Be slightly pushed to socialize
Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives
No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters!
Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations
More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing
No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable
Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating!
Feel free to bring some snacks to share!
Friendly dogs are welcome!
If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us!

Identity & Consciousness - Open Space for Spiritual Discussions
Hi. I would like to set up the first event. This is a space and opportunity to discuss all the things spiritual in a relaxed manner.
It is a space where our discussions should bring you joy without any sense of obligation to participate if you don't feel like it. After all bringing just your presence is no small task :)
And it's one of the most important things in raising your state of consciousness :)
As this is the first meeting it could just be a lightweight conversation or if you feel like we can dive in into more serious fundamental topics. It depends on what are you interested in. It could be:
* where are we on the Map of Consciousness (different paradigms)
* the nature of our 3D physical reality
* nervous system regulation
* Biocentrism
etc. There's a lot we can talk about and everyone of us has a different level of knowledge and is at a different stage of awareness.
Feel free to join and see you there,
Daniel
Philosophy Seminar: Analytical Idealism
**What if consciousness isn’t something the brain produces — but something the universe is?**
Most of us have absorbed a picture of reality in which matter comes first: the brain generates mind, and when the brain stops, the mind vanishes. It feels like common sense. But a growing number of analytic philosophers and scientists are asking whether that picture can actually hold together — and **whether idealism, the view that consciousness is fundamental to reality, deserves a serious second look**.
**Analytical Idealism is not mysticism in disguise. It’s a rigorous, philosophically precise position that engages directly with the hard problem of consciousness, the findings of modern physics, and the limits of materialist explanation**. It takes the tools of analytic philosophy seriously — and uses them to challenge one of our deepest assumptions about what exists.
In this session, we’ll explore:
• Why materialism struggles to account for the existence of subjective experience
• What Analytical Idealism actually claims — and what it doesn’t
• What it might mean, practically and existentially, if mind is primary
No prior background in philosophy is needed. We’ll build up the ideas together, and the emphasis will be on genuine inquiry rather than expertise.
About the host: Corrado Alesso is a software engineer working across mobility, big data, security, and energy — and, more recently, a newly-minted carpenter. When he’s not chasing his interests in electronics, astrophotography, or music, he reads philosophy — particularly metaphysics (to peek behind the veil), philosophy of mind (can’t wrap my head around the C-problem) and ontology (so that I can drop this word at parties). It started with a suspicion that blaming consciousness on complexity feels a bit cheap. That suspicion led him to Analytical Idealism, which he finds deeply grounded — and, uncomfortably, quite convincing. He’s looking forward to dissecting it together.

In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
Must See Thursday: I LOVE BOOSTERS at the Drexel + GRAETER'S!
Join us as we get together to see the top-reviewed comedy-drama, I LOVE BOOSTERS! The film comes from writer/director Boots Riley and follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven. It is written/directed by Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) and stars Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore.
BUZZ AND ACCLAIM: I Love Boosters was the opening film at this year’s SXSW Festival and premiered to rave reviews! It is currently earning a tremendous 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it, “an unexpected celebration of friendship, community, and solidarity.” Others call the film “an exercise in radical empathy,” a “masterful” and “optimistic” film designed to “provoke discussion” while making the audience laugh.

SUMMER OF ICE CREAM: GRAETER’S! Established way back in 1870 in Cincinnati, this historic, family-owned brand is famous for their delicious small batch ice cream and any chocolate chunk flavors! They are currently the only commercial ice cream maker using the French Pot method that they’ve been using since they first opened! Plus, those chocolate chunks, oh my goodness! Vegan options are available.
PLAN: Details for this event have just been confirmed! We got a later than usual showtime, so we’ll go with ice cream BEFORE the show! Here’s the plan: Meet at Graeter’s at 6:30pm for a pre-show sweet treat! Then, get ready for a fun and wild one! Purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and meet in the lobby area between 7:10 and 7:20pm. Advance ticket purchase not required but be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
