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. Whether you are an entrepreneur, creative, coach, founder, freelancer, corporate professional, artist, multipassionate soul, or someone in transition, you are welcome. Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, openness, and willingness to connect in a real way.

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.

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.
