Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam đ đ Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh.
A few things to be aware of:
* **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days â check if youâre on the list or the waiting list)
* If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session
* The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session.
**If youâre running late** (the curtains are closed), thatâs okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session.
* Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along
**How does it work?** We embrace the cafĂ©-philo method â proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy đŠŠ
**Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity.
**Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** â because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! đ
A few tips for a great session:
* come with an **open and curious mind** đ§
* **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues đ
* we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking đ»ââïž
* we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english đ€
* we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment đ„
Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đ«đ·
Bonjour Ă tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :)
Practical Philosophy est un mouvement nĂ© au Mexique et qui est prĂ©sent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai dĂ©couvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimĂ© que j'ai dĂ©cidĂ© de l'importer Ă Paris (il y a aussi une branche Ă Lyon si vous n'ĂȘtes pas de la rĂ©gion).
**đïž CâEST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?**
Practical philosophy, câest un rendez-vous hebdomadaire oĂč des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affĂ»ter leur façon de sâexprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin dâĂȘtre un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! đ
LâidĂ©e, câest que la philosophie, ce nâest pas juste pour les profs dâuniversitĂ©. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thĂšme et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une maniĂšre d'apprendre Ă mieux se connaĂźtre soi-mĂȘme, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense rĂ©ellement.
Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **PensĂ©e Critique**, **Communication** et **CommunautĂ©** đ.
**đ COMMENT ĂA MARCHE ?**
Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet quâon dĂ©cortique ensemble. Le thĂšme est annoncĂ©, souvent via le [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh), avec quelques pistes pour lancer les Ă©changes. Les thĂšmes sont trĂšs variĂ©s et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beautĂ©, la richesse, la loyautĂ©...)
Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et éviter que ça ressemble à une conférence.
**DĂ©roulĂ© type dâune soirĂ©e**
Voici comment se passe une rencontre :
* **19h00-19h15** : On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance détendue.
* **19h15-19h25** : Petit topo pour présenter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les rÚgles et le timing.
* **19h25-20h45** : On se rĂ©partit en petits groupes, on se prĂ©sente, on partage nos premiĂšres idĂ©es sur le sujet, puis on passe Ă une discussion libre. Des questions âdâamorceâ sont lĂ pour guider si besoin, mais rien dâobligatoire.
* **20h45-21h00** : Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un rĂ©sumĂ© rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de lâorganisateur et une photo de groupe.
* **AprĂšs 21h00** : La partie officielle est finie, mais câest le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour dâun verre ou dâun cafĂ©, histoire de renforcer les liens.
**đ§§ COMBIEN ĂA COĂTE ?**
Câest **GRATUIT** ! Si on se retrouve dans un cafĂ©, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso.
**đ CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT**
đŁ *âLe Club de Philosophie, câest un endroit oĂč on construit ses propres idĂ©es Ă travers diffĂ©rents points de vue, sans quâon nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.â* â Ekam
đŁ *âJâai accrochĂ© dĂšs le premier jour (le sujet Ă©tait lâautoritĂ©) et jâai tout de suite senti que câĂ©tait ma place. Câest un espace oĂč on apprend, on dĂ©couvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensĂ©e critique et on crĂ©e du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idĂ©es tout en encourageant lâouverture dâesprit.â* â Daniel
**đ€ FAQ**
* **Faut-il préparer ou lire quelque chose avant ?**
Aucune prĂ©paration nĂ©cessaire ! On ne rĂ©vise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que **vous** pensez. Si vous avez une idĂ©e inspirĂ©e dâune religion ou dâune Ă©cole de pensĂ©e, partagez-la, on en discutera.
* **Y a-t-il une philosophie spécifique au centre des discussions ?**
Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idées, sans se limiter à une école particuliÚre, pour muscler notre pensée critique.
* **Câest surtout des mecs qui viennent ?**
Pas du tout ! Contrairement Ă lâimage de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont Ă©quilibrĂ©es et sans ambiance lugubre !
* **Je peux venir seul(e) ?**
Oui, on encourage mĂȘme ça ! :)
* **Et si je suis en retard ?**
On prĂ©fĂ©rerait que vous soyez Ă lâheure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au dĂ©but si besoin.
* **OĂč se passent les rencontres ?**
Le lieu est annoncĂ© sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh). On vous conseille de rejoindre le groupe ! Pour dĂ©couvrir les autres villes oĂč le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/).
**LE CLUB DE PHILOSOPHIE PRATIQUE â LA PHILO POUR TOUS ! âš**
On organise des rencontres hebdomadaires en prĂ©sentiel dans plus de 25 pays, comme le Canada, lâEspagne, le Japon, le Mexique et bien dâautres ! đșïž

Sunday Badminton - 11am Open Session
Hi Badminton Fans!
Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from,
**This 11 am - Open Session is open to players of all levels.**
**If you are a complete beginner -**
Talk to us first before signing up, and we can try to make accommodations and maybe have beginners-only court to begin with, with one of the organisers ready to explain all of the basics, such as serving, scoring, rules etc, as well as some pointers to help you progress.
**Which Session To Choose**
If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start, or ask us! We will try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels.
**What Do You Need**
Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun.
There are changing rooms and showers.
**Get There Early**
Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing.
**Registration & Payments**
Registration is 14⏠per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you.
*Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.*
**Annual Membership Option**
For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80⏠for the first year and is renewable each year for 40âŹ. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10⏠per session.
**No Refunds**
In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds.
See you all on the court on Sunday.
Happy badminton-ing!
Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832),

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, âagentic AIâ was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
