Join us for a slow Sunday morning coffee, real conversation, and meaningful connection at Crunch in Žižkov. This is a space for people who want to meet others in a more present, human, and grounded way. No awkward networking energy. Just coffee, conversation, and a chance to hear each other beyond job titles. We will gather at 10:00 am. Grab a coffee, and if you feel like it, you can also have breakfast. Together, we will explore simple questions like: \- Where are we in life right now? \- What are we building\, creating\, changing\, or dreaming about? \- What kind of support would feel helpful? \- How can we help each other\, connect each other\, or simply witness each other? The intention is to create a warm space where we can meet as whole humans, not only through what we do for work.

“You shouldn’t compare yourself with others” is common advice these days. The idea is that if you compare yourself with someone who is doing better than you in something that matters to you, this social comparison is going to make you feel bad. And, therefore, it is wise to avoid social comparisons altogether. But… * Is it realistic to eliminate social comparisons from our lives, given that we are extremely social creatures? * Wouldn’t we miss some of the benefits of social comparisons if we did? * Is the problem the social comparisons themselves or our responses to those comparisons? * Is there a way that we could adaptively respond to unfavourable social comparisons? * Has social media transformed the effects of social comparisons? At the next meetup, we will discuss social comparisons from psychological and practical perspectives. To inform our discussion, I have selected a practical CBT-based guide on social comparisons written by the clinical psychologist Joel Milden. You can read it here: * [How to Compare Yourself with Others Fairly](https://psyche.co/guides/how-to-compare-yourself-with-others-fairly-and-respond-better) by Joel Milden We will also have time to talk about ourselves and brainstorm ideas for next meetups. See you soon. Ángel

**These are the hottest days of the year. We will meet on the 4th of July at the entrance of the Planetárium Praha ([Královská obora 233, Bubenec, 170 21 Praha 7](https://www.google.de/maps/place/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x470b94ce6ef24a2d:0x95d62e70e8497a61?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111)).** **From 17:00 until 17:15, we will gather in front of the planetarium. After 17:15, we shall then start searching for a nice place under the trees, where we will discuss, eat and drink together until the night…** **If you like to have a philosophical conversation while enjoying the magnificent surroundings of the Stromovka Park, come and join us, the only condition for joining is that you bring something to eat and to drink with you. We will put all the delicious things on a blanket so that we don’t exchange only arguments…** **Even though I normally don’t determine a topic in advance, I would like to ask you this time to make a list of some of your favorite movies. Try to imagine you have to convince another person that these movies are great. What would you say? What makes these movies important for you? What important (philosophical) questions do these movies raise or maybe even answer?**

You went on that retreat, read the book, committed to meditating daily. And here you are at 3 am, drunkenly staring down a Žižkov doner, wondering what happened. Come share your spiritual misadventures. You can bring a story, poem, insight, or simply come and hang out. This is a space for anyone interested in spirituality and meditation. All paths and experiences are welcome! We are meeting at Stromovka Park, near Stromovka Fountain. Bring something to sit on. Pets are always welcome! We’ll start with an opening circle, short group meditation, then move into sharing and discussion. If you arrive while we're meditating, feel free to join us quietly.

**The most enjoyable way to meet new people without going clubbing! ✨** Tancheerna is unlike any dance event you’ve ever been to—there are no complex routines or staring at your feet. We hit the play button at 19:00 and start right away with fun group dances that are so simple, even children can do them. Later we blend in some easy couple dances mixing European classics, modern folklore, and smooth Latin rhythms. Our evenings are all about **great music, laughter, and the simple joy of moving together.** You don’t need a partner or any dance experience to join us. As long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong. We use fun group mixers and rotate constantly, making it the perfect, fresh way to come alone and **connect with everyone naturally**. At 21:00, we wrap up the music and head to the nearby bistro for drinks and socializing. 📍 **Vítkov**: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JqyW62aohn18g5ZB8 **🕒 THE PLAN:** 18:50 - Arrival & Hellos **19:00 - The Music Starts! 🎶** 21:00 - Socializing at Bistro Vítkov 🍻 🎟️ **FREE ENTRY** 🌤️ **Weather Note:** This is an OPEN-AIR event! We dance only if the weather is nice.. 👟 Wear comfy sneakers or go completely barefoot. Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated and a hoodie when the sun goes down. Tančírna (pronounced tahn-cheer-nah) comes from the Czech word "tančit" (to dance) and literally means "a place for dancing". If you love to move and want to make new friends, simply show up on Friday and let’s dance!! 💃

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. 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.
