Outdoor calisthenics workouts are a fantastic way to build strength, improve fitness, and enjoy the great outdoors 😁🦾 Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help strengthen your muscles and improve your coordination, endurance, and mobility. It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include: - airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️‍♂️💪

**How AI Breaks the Career Ladder: Automation and Coordination Failure in Knowledge-Intensive Firms** by [Claudio Zucca](https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudio-zucca-b691292/) AI automation creates an intertemporal tradeoff for knowledge-intensive firms: cutting junior workers to exploit cheap automation boosts short-term profits but depletes the career pipeline needed to develop future senior talent. Individual f irms can resolve this tension through lateral hiring from competitors, but the industry as a whole cannot—lateral markets merely redistribute talent from a collectively shrinking pool. We develop a dynamic model with nested CES production calibrated to law firms, investment banking, and management consulting, treating the industry as a closed system where senior professionals must be developed internally through multi-year apprenticeships. When all f irms optimize automation individually, they collectively eliminate 92–95% of the junior talent pipeline. Dynamic simulations show firms maintaining career ladders sacrifice 16–32% of potential automation gains in the short run but ultimately achieve 60–112% higher output when partner scarcity becomes the binding constraint. Crossover periods occur 8–15 years after the automation shock (at absolute periods t=14 for investment banking, t=16 for law firms, and t=20 for management consulting). Although automation initially boosts output by 50%, the subsequent destruction of the career pipeline depletes the senior professionals who are production complements to automation, causing output to fall below the pre-shock baseline despite continued robot usage. This creates a coordination failure combining Becker’s training externality with common pool resource dynamics: individual firms can free-ride on competitors’ training investments through lateral hiring, but when all firms automate simultaneously, lateral markets cannot expand aggregate capacity. Solutions require industry wide coordination **Hidden Signals in Text Embeddings: Recovering Skill Hierarchies with Inductive Hyperbolic Representations** by [Thiago Brant](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thiago-quaresma-chaves-brant-605a21b/) Many areas of learning have a hidden order: some skills and ideas need to come before others. In this work, we ask whether that order can be inferred from the subtle signals already embedded in text embeddings, even when the model is not explicitly told which concept should point to which. We train a self-supervised system that learns from text descriptions, places concepts in a curved space well suited for hierarchies, and uses only a very small hint to keep the overall direction consistent. When tested on entirely new skills, the method recovers prerequisite direction better than a comparable standard baseline. Control experiments also show that the gains come from meaningful semantic information in the text. Overall, the results suggest that text representations contain hidden clues about learning order, and that hyperbolic geometry helps bring that structure out.

There are many resources available for guidance on how to write code that is efficient and results in more sustainable software applications, but applying these at scale can be challenging, and often isn’t a priority for busy teams. GitHub have recently released Agentic Workflows, a way of specifying automation tasks in human-readable format to be performed by an AI agent as part of a GitHub Actions workflow. In this talk, Max Mizzi from GitHub's Sustainability team gives an overview of Agentic Workflows, and will demonstrate how they can be used to improve software efficiency through both structured green software rules and autonomous performance engineering. He'll finish by walking through a real-world use-case showing how the technology helped to dramatically reduce the energy consumption - and carbon footprint - of a major website. Come along if you want to learn more about using AI to improve the energy efficiency of your software. Check out the Green Software Brighton [website](https://greensoftwarebrighton.co.uk/) for links to previous talks. Arrive from 18:00 for pizza and drinks. Event will start at 18:30. We always head for a drink and a chat locally afterwards too. --- ***Thank you to Runway East for use of their space to host our events and to Silicon Brighton and the Green Software Foundation for supporting us.***

This week, we’ll reflect on communication, boundaries, and honesty with ourselves. How does it feel when we say yes while meaning no? What changes when we express ourselves more clearly and authentically? This meetup is not about “perfect communication,” but about awareness, presence, and honest reflection. We may include: • a short grounding practice • a simple reflection question • open sharing and listening No pressure. No judgment. You are welcome to simply listen and be present. 📍 Location: If the weather is good, we’ll meet outdoors in the park near Mikrokosmos and sit together on the grass in a relaxed picnic-style setting. In case of rain or colder weather, we’ll meet indoors at Casino Luxembourg art gallery. 🕠 Thursday , 18.00 👥 Small group format 💬 WhatsApp group for updates and community https://chat.whatsapp.com/FXXDRxOGXXtKGnMErWo48M Come as you are.

About the Book: The One Thing In The One Thing Book, Gary Keller and Jay Papasan challenge the myth that success comes from doing more. Instead, they argue that extraordinary results come from narrowing your focus to the single most important thing. Built around one powerful question: "What's the ONE thing I can do, such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?" the book offers a practical framework for cutting through noise, protecting your time, and achieving disproportionate results. Why join this meetup? Join a round of discussion between people who like personal development and are willing to exchange about what they learned, know and have newly discovered through the book! Whether you've read the whole book, just started, or are simply curious, this meetup is for you. We'll explore: 💡 Why doing less (but better) beats doing more 💡 How to identify your ONE thing in work and life 💡 The Domino Effect's role in life 💡 The real cost of multitasking and scattered focus 💡 Practical time-blocking strategies that protect what matters 💡 Real-life applications from the book 💡 Your own wins, struggles, and takeaways

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about.
