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**.

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.

✅ How perception influences behaviour, wellbeing, and life outcomes
✅ Understanding the science behind expectation and the placebo effect
✅ The role of hypnosis in supporting positive change
✅ NLP approaches for shifting limiting beliefs and creating healthier habits
✅ How attention and awareness shape everyday experience
✅ Practical strategies for improving wellbeing through mindset shifts
🎯 Additional Key Points / Benefits

✔ Increase self-awareness and conscious choice
✔ Improve emotional resilience and stress management

✔ Discover how expectations can influence performance, motivation, and wellbeing
✔ Gain fresh insights into the mind-body connection
✔ Explore how greater awareness can lead to healthier outcomes with less struggle

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
