#117 Friday Beer Bay Gathering @ Pier 4
Come for another casual gathering and chat with peers in the software & technology community. Bring your smile and relax with a refreshing drink.
**Concept** 🍻
It works simple:
1. feel free to arrive and leave at any time during the event
2. get yourself a drink at the bar or convenience store
3. say hi to someone in the group and chat away.
**How to find us?** 👀
Bart/Stephen usually wear something that is easy to spot in a crowd. Often it's a bright coloured t-shirt or something orange themed. Have a look at past photos of meetups to recognise him. Moreover, we usually stand close to the bar.
**Venue** 📍
**The Beer Bay** is an **outdoor kiosk/bar**, situated at the walkway between the Central Ferry Piers, at the ground level **entrance of Central Ferry Pier #4** (to Lamma Island). There's plenty of space to stand, and various places to get drinks. Usually lots of people in conversation, and an overall casual and relaxed atmosphere. In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline!
**Toilets** 🚻
There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby.
**Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤
The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too. There are also non-alcoholic options from other stands and convenience stores around as well.
See you on Friday June 29!

Beyond Aging: How Perception, Hypnosis, and NLP Shape Health Outcomes
🔥🧠 What if better health required less struggle and more awareness?
Discover how your perceptions, beliefs, expectations, and unconscious patterns may influence your wellbeing more than you think.
Many people assume that health and aging are determined primarily by biology. However, emerging research and practical experience suggest that perception, expectation, and mindset can significantly influence wellbeing.
In this engaging MOTIVATE Community webinar, Adrian Cahill explores the connection between hypnosis, NLP, coaching, and the groundbreaking insights from Counterclockwise by Ellen Langer. Together, we'll examine how beliefs, attention, and expectations affect our daily experience and how the science of the placebo effect reveals the powerful relationship between mind and body.
Participants will discover practical ways to increase awareness, reduce internal resistance, and create healthier habits with greater ease. Join us for an inspiring conversation that challenges conventional thinking about aging, health, and human potential.
🗓️Join us on **Sunday, June 28**, for **Beyond Aging: How Perception, Hypnosis, and NLP Shape Health Outcomes**, presented by **Adrian Cahill**, as we explore how awareness, beliefs, expectations, and perception can influence wellbeing, personal transformation, and healthier living.

HKPUG #99 - "Lie" to me, Python
**Details**
Date: 27 June 2026, Saturday
Time: 15:00 – 18:00 HKT
Venue: BC404, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Capacity: 40 participants
**Please make sure you fill in the google form https://forms.gle/ogJSHfruCnjHNisU6 for Poly University QR Code Access**.
**Topics**
**1\. Mind the Data Gap — Prize Ceremony & Winners’ Sharing**
Speaker: Winning teams / participants
Duration: around 15 minutes
In our previous HKPUG workshop, participants worked in teams on a messy Hong Kong-inspired synthetic transport dataset.
The data was intentionally corrupted with missing values, outliers, inconsistent categories, URL-encoded station names, confusing delimiters, and hidden signals.
Teams had to clean the data and submit their work to a fixed black-box scorer to see whether their cleaning improved model performance.
In this session, we will present the prizes and invite the winning teams / participants to share their approaches.
We will cover:
\- Prize ceremony for the workshop winners
\- How participants approached the data cleaning challenge
\- What kinds of hidden signals were found
\- Common patterns and mistakes we observed
\- What we learned from designing a gamified Python data workshop
No model tuning.
Just data rescuing.
**2\. Python "Lies": Things That Are Not What They Seem**
Speaker: Alex Au
Duration: 15 minutes
Python often reads almost like English — until it does something that is technically correct but completely different from what you expected.
In this rapid-fire talk, Alex will uncover several Python-specific “lies”: late-bound lambdas in loops, mutable default arguments that remember previous calls, nested lists that secretly share the same rows, generators that disappear after one pass, the surprising meaning of for...else, and finally blocks that can rewrite a function’s ending.
Each example begins with a short “guess the output” challenge, followed by an explanation of the Python behaviour hiding underneath.
Things are not always what they seem.
**3\. LEPAUTE Framework — FSD\-style Visual Perception with Lie Group Equivariant Attention**
Speaker: Carson
Duration: around 60 minutes
LEPAUTE is a Python-based visual perception / machine learning framework originally motivated by Tesla FSD-style autonomous driving perception.
Autonomous driving perception is not just about detecting objects in a flat image. A model needs to reason about movement, rotation, position, scale, and viewpoint changes while still understanding the same scene consistently.
In this talk, Carson will introduce the motivation behind LEPAUTE, the core technical ideas, and how Lie group equivariant attention can be applied to 2D visual perception. The session will also include a live or prepared demo.
This talk is suitable for participants interested in Python, machine learning, computer vision, autonomous driving perception, mathematical structures in AI models, and research-oriented software projects.
Note: This is an independent technical sharing and **does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by Tesla**.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
