Hi all! 🙂 On Wednesdays we welcome you to practice languages! If you want to practice a specific (uncommon) language, please send us a message so we can find some conversation partners for you on our mailing list! We hope to see you in Café Marktzicht! In the last year we had tables for the following languages: * Dutch * English * French * Italian * Spanish * Turkish\* * German\* * Portuguese\* * Danish\* * Norwegian\* * Russian\* * Arabic\* * Chinese\*\* * Japanese\*\* * Indonesian\*\* * * Most likely, but not every week present. \*\* - Rather rare ;-) If your language is not in this list, please let us know! We have a large database of Language Cafe visitors speaking 56 different languages! We might be able to connect you with a person that does speak the language you want to practice. In case you are not in our database yet, please use this form: http://goo.gl/forms/oSCn9Dn8m8

**When:** Wednesday\, July 1st \| 🕒 Doors open at 19:00\, battle starts at 20:00 **Where:** De Ping Pong Club, Utrecht **Damage:** €4,07 (Buy your tickets in advance as spaces are limited! Secure your spot directly with the venue [here](https://shop.weeztix.com/37dc63d6-519c-11f0-a9cb-7e126431635e/events?shop_code=5rn36dck)!) **The Vibe:** I checked out De Ping Pong Club last week—it is an awesome location! They even have board games if you need a break from the action. I played there recently outside of a tournament, and let me tell you about the "athletic" standard: if you can hold two beers at the same time, you are officially qualified. This is not the Olympics, this is [around the table](https://depingpongclub.nl/agenda/). Leave your sports watch at home; this is a purely social event where your actual speaking time will easily outlast your playtime. **Pro Tip:** There are bonus points for costumes and alternative, non-paddle equipment. Fry-pans, textbooks, or flip-flops? Bring it. **Essential Training Routine:** If you actually want to take this seriously and lift the trophy, you *must* complete this strict two-step preparation: 1. Watch the [Balls of Fury Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXR_NLDMUk8&t) to master the illegal underground table tennis mindset. 2. Blast [Armin van Buuren's Ping Pong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8V5GfFeUDs) on repeat to get your hand-eye coordination synced to 138 BPM. **P.S.** Who is willing to play in my team **"ExBats"**? (Yes, a terrible pun merging "Expats" with *bat*, the Dutch word for racket). Drop a comment below if you're in!

The Rabobank Tech Community together with [CodeLab](https://www.meetup.com/codelabjug/) is organizing a Java meetup for our community. Victor Rentea will speak at Rabobank in the evening of July 2nd. Because of the limited number of seats, please keep your RSVP up-to-date, so we can welcome someone else if you can't make it. **IMPORTANT:** Due to Rabobank security measures, we need to present in advance an attendee list with everyone’s full names. This is partly because Rabobank is, well, a bank, but also related to safety measures in case of an emergency. That is why we need to ask you the following: If you do not use your real full name as profile name at Meetup.com, could you send us your full name in a private message? The attendee list presented to Rabobank will only be used for visitor's registration at the reception and will not be published anywhere, we only do this to comply with said safety measures. The meet-up will be held in a non-public area of the building. This means that without proper registration the security team will not be able to let you in. Hoping for your understanding. === **Agenda** 17:00 Walk in + Dinner 18:15 Talk 20:00 Drinks 21:00 Ending **Talk** **Agentic Engineering - Patterns and Anti-Patterns** A compilation of emerging patterns and common pitfalls observed in over 50 companies.

'THE SYMPATHIZER' by Viet Thanh Nguyen 'The winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as seven other awards, The Sympathizer is the breakthrough novel of the year. With the pace and suspense of a thriller and prose that has been compared to Graham Greene and Saul Bellow, The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a man of two minds, a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.' ***Please read the book and join us for a lively discussion (in English) about the contents during our afternoon book club meeting.*** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **PLEASE NOTE:** This is an IN-PERSON event in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

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.
