Instruction level parallelism by [Ivica Bogosavljević](https://johnnysswlab.com/author/ibogi/) Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is the magic ingredient of a modern CPU that makes it run fast. But not all programs are equal, some have more ILP, others have less. In this talk we are going to investigate our codes from the viewpoint of ILP: which code has more ILP, which has less ILP, how does ILP affect software performance and what techniques we can use to speed up our software. Timetable: 18:00 Get together, setup, socialize 18:30 talk starts ??:?? talk ends, more socializing For those who want to join online here is the **[ZOOM LINK](https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83891473439?pwd=7HSo6db5TDdSQA72V0jVEkGMzhbZeu.1)** While you wait why not join our **[DISCORD SERVER](https://discord.gg/3FQFqkjPyc)**

## Learn Go and NixOS deployments with large language models Hello, 世界! When used sensibly, language models can be tutors, too. For meetup #60 on Tuesday [May 26, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537727) we are really happy to have [Maxime](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plumps/) dive into Nix/NixOS with the help of language models. Nix is a functional package manager and its immutable traits enable robust, reproducable deployments of Go (and other) projects. The high level goals of Nix/NixOS are similar to other immutable Linux distributions, like [Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/) or [Bazzite](https://bazzite.gg/). Becoming familiar with the Nix configuration language can be a challenge, but one that a well instructed tutor may help with. > Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in education to enable personalized learning and intelligent tutoring [LLM Agents for Education: Advances and Applications](https://aclanthology.org/anthology-files/anthology-files/pdf/findings/2025.findings-emnlp.743.pdf) (11/2025) Why reproducible and immutable deployments play a role? [Justin Garrison](https://justingarrison.com/blog/state-of-immutable-linux/) says: > It’s 2026, if you’re not using something immutable (or at least reproducable) you’re doing more maintenance work than you should. [blog post recapping talk from [Southern California Linux Expo 23x](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x)], 03/2026, PASADENA, CA ### Schedule * 18:45 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 Dive into Nix/NixOS with LLMs * 19:50 Open discussion We’ll meet: * in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558)) * and online via [https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss](https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss) Join us to discuss robust Go deployments, language models as learning tools and more!

Hello Python extractors and vulnerable agents, The 35th PyData meetup will take place at **Aisle offices** (Palác Zlatý kříž, 2nd floor). As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as **18:00** to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks). Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels. ⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning. **What a Single-File LLM Security Analyzer Taught Us?** **([Stanislav Fort](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanislav-fort/), Aisle)** High-quality AI security research can uncover real vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. AISLE is one example of this higher-signal approach, with validated findings in projects like OpenSSL and curl. At the same time, low-quality AI-generated reports are flooding open-source maintainers with false positives. How hard is it to find a security bug? We will explore that question through nano-analyzer, a deliberately simple open-source security scanner. For many vulnerability classes, the surprising core is not a complex platform, but a well-aimed LLM call wrapped in the right workflow. This simplicity has limits. The approach may miss obvious issues, hallucinate risky findings, or produce inconsistent results across runs. That is why validation, triage, benchmarking, and human judgment matter, and why the real challenge is building reliable processes around unreliable primitives. **Getting reliable text when PDFs lie and OCR fails** **([Marcela Brichtová Piptová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcela-brichtov%C3%A1-piptov%C3%A1-b950ba184/), Rossum)** LLMs need text as an input. So before a model can reason about a document, we have to read the text, a step often treated as the "easy part" or a solved problem. But is it? In this talk, we will explore the hidden complexities of text extraction. This is especially critical for models like Rossum's T-LLM, an encoder-only architecture which heavily relies on high-quality input. You will learn why transactional documents are sometimes surprisingly hard for OCR, why you can't always just copy-paste text from a PDF, and why text extraction is still a topic for Rossum researchers (and our customer support team).

PangeAI is building agent-driven geospatial intelligence for anyone, turning natural language queries into instant spatial analysis and decisions, with no GIS knowledge required. Backed by autonomous agents we're focused on use cases geospatial context drive real decisions. We're headquartered in the Bay Area with our European HQ right next door in Prague. Maps encode rich spatial context that today's AI agents largely fail to interpret. In this talk, I'll share how we're teaching agents to "read" maps in production at PangeAI starting with geospatial embeddings as a practical foundation for geo-similarity detection, then layering multi-agentic orchestration on top to generate strategic geospatial insights at scale. Along the way, I'll walk through the tooling and frameworks we've built to make all of this tractable for engineers, with real-world examples and open questions at the intersection of geospatial data and agentic AI.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. 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.
