LLM Benchmarks on CPU/GPU, and How to Open It to the Community at Zero Cost Don't forget to get your ticket on Eventbrite to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/can-your-laptop-run-ai-tickets-1985370183664 More and more enthusiasts are trying to run AI/ML models directly on their own laptops. However, there has been a lack of objective, standardized, and reproducible third-party benchmarks focused on technical performance, such as tokens per second or training time. In fact, there *was* a lack of them. This talk will cover two main topics. On the one hand, it will present the results of real benchmarks on AI workloads executed on local hardware, including LLM inference (3B to 14B) and tabular ML models, comparing CPU and GPU performance, latency, and model scaling. On the other hand, a significant part of the talk will focus on the making-of of the project, which was built entirely using open tools and at zero cost. Moving from an idea, to an individual project, to a solution that anyone can contribute to required a fairly articulated architecture and a mix of tools: not only Python code, but also automation with GitHub Actions, managed DuckDB through MotherDuck, Streamlit Cloud, and much more.

Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Intermezzo* di Sally Rooney, una delle voci più interessanti e riconoscibili della narrativa contemporanea. Il romanzo segue le vite di due fratelli molto diversi tra loro che, dopo la morte del padre, si trovano ad affrontare relazioni complesse, desideri contrastanti e nuove responsabilità. Tra silenzi, incomprensioni e momenti di profonda vulnerabilità, i personaggi cercano il proprio equilibrio emotivo mentre navigano il difficile spazio tra ciò che proviamo e ciò che riusciamo davvero a dire agli altri. Un romanzo intimo, lucido e profondamente umano che esplora amore, perdita, senso di colpa e bisogno di connessione, e che ci invita a riflettere su quanto le nostre relazioni possano definirci, cambiarci o metterci in discussione. Durante l’incontro discuteremo insieme i temi principali del libro, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa. Il BookClub è uno spazio informale e aperto: una conversazione tra lettori curiosi, dove ogni punto di vista è benvenuto. *** **Quando e dove** Mercoledì **1 Aprile** Ore **19:00** Presso Il Vinaccio - Solari (Via Bernardino Lanino, 2) Ingresso gratuito con consumazione obbligatoria. *** **Posti limitati** Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire uno scambio autentico tra i partecipanti, i posti sono limitati. Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrà attivata una lista d’attesa. *** ⏳ **Importante** Se dopo l’iscrizione non riesci più a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, così da lasciare spazio a chi è in attesa. *** Porta il libro, la tua curiosità e le tue impressioni: non vediamo l’ora di discuterne insieme 📚✨ Contatti IG: **@thereadingriot_**

Texture painting is an art technique where artists create dimension and relief on a surface using materials like texture paste, modeling paste, plaster, or thick acrylics. Instead of working only with color, the focus is on form, depth, and tactile surfaces — building layers that you can both see and feel. Tools like palette knives, spatulas, brushes, and even everyday objects are used to sculpt the surface. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
