Podařilo se nám na poslední chvíli sehnat výjimečného hosta – a bylo by škoda to nevyužít! Martin Urza, anarchokapitalista, youtuber a autor první české knihy o anarchokapitalismu, přijede osobně představit svou novou knihu **Anarchoagorismus**. Anarchoagorismus není jen teorie. Je to praktická cesta ke svobodě pomocí prostředků dostupných každému z nás, tady a teď. Urza nám vysvětlí, co za tímto pojmem stojí, proč ho považuje za logický vývoj svého myšlení a jak tyhle myšlenky aplikovat v každodenním životě – bez čekání na revoluci. Počítejte s živou diskusí, protože tohle téma málokdy nechává lidi lhostejnými. A samozřejmě – večer zakončíme kvalitním pokecem u piva a v atmosféře bublajících dýmek. Kapacita je omezená, takže neváhejte – kdo přijde, nezklame se!

Hello Python enthusiasts and models both large and small, The 34th PyData meetup will take place at **Similarweb offices** (Dock in Five, reception A, 5th 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. **Why Your Models Fail: Learning from Regime Shifts in Real Data** **([Alena Pavlova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alena-pavlova-494610207/), Similarweb)** When building predictive models, we often assume that the data-generating process is stable over time. In practice, this assumption is frequently violated and ignoring it can severely degrade model performance. In this talk, we use stock market price data to demonstrate how overlooking market regimes leads to misleading results and fragile trading strategies. We start by implementing a simple strategy under the assumption of a single, stationary regime and show how it fails in changing market conditions. We then introduce a regime-aware approach to infer latent market states. By applying the same strategy only within appropriate regimes, we demonstrate how performance, risk characteristics, and interpretability can change dramatically. The talk focuses on practical Python implementation, intuitive explanations of regime modeling, and concrete lessons that extend beyond finance to any non-stationary time-series problem. Attendees will learn how to detect regime shifts, incorporate them into modeling workflows, and avoid common pitfalls when working with evolving data. **Training Small Language Models with Knowledge Distillation** **([Gabriela Kadlecová](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabriela-kadlecova/), distil labs)** Large language models (LLMs) have proven useful across a wide range of real-world applications, from code generation and document analysis to intelligent automation and data extraction. However, their practical adoption comes with some tradeoffs: inference costs can be prohibitive at scale, and sending sensitive data to external cloud APIs raises privacy concerns. Sometimes, a general-purpose model is more than what's needed - if the task is quite specific, a smaller, specialized model could do the job just as well. Small Language Models (SLMs) are a great alternative - running entirely on local hardware, they keep data private, respond faster, and operate at a fraction of the cost. The key challenge is making them good enough for the task at hand, and this is where knowledge distillation comes in. By having a large "teacher" model automatically generate and refine training examples, we can create a specialized "student" model tailored to a specific task, starting from as few as a handful of seed examples. In this talk, we walk through the full distillation pipeline: from defining a task and preparing seed data, through synthetic data generation, to fine-tuning an SLM ready for local deployment. We also present benchmark results comparing base and fine-tuned models, and a live demo showing how capable a well-distilled small model can be.

Every Wednesday from 19 to... whenever they start preparing breakfast at the hostel. Mark your calendars, gather your game crew, and get ready for an unforgettable night of board game bliss! Let's roll!

Some people go to pubs. Some people conquer galaxies, build empires, trade spices, or outsmart dragons. Nerdy Fridays are our open board game nights for anyone who prefers strategy over small talk and dice over disco lights. Come solo or bring your crew. We’ll help you find a table, explain the rules, and match you with a game that fits your vibe. From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open. Entry fee: 100 CZK (includes access to games and rule explanation) Friday nights don’t have to be loud. They can be legendary. 🎲✨

Let's play badminton at Sports Centre Olšanka. We'll meet at 11.40 and play for 60 minutes. If you have a Multisport card please bring it along, as it will make the court free for you and also reduce the cost for others. If you don't have a Multisport card the game will cost you a maximum of 150 crowns, probably much less. I will cover the cost of the court so please bring cash to pay me. There is a small organisation fee of 20 crowns for all players to participate in this event. Racquets can be rented for 50 crowns.

CZ: Již druhá akce z nové série meetupů! EN: The second event from a new series of meetups! 18:30 **Přivítání a úvod/Welcome and introduction** *(Ondřej Smrž/Martin Kahoun)* 18:40 **Tech Art v Blenderu: Game Dev a něco navíc/Tech Art in Blender: Game Dev and Beyond** *(Miroslav Horváth - PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions)* CZ: Praktický přehled tech artu v Blenderu se zaměřením na vývoj her – od tvorby obsahu pro rozsáhlé otevřené světy a procedurální generování až po automatizovanou kontrolu kvality herních assetů (QA) a nástroje pro art pipeline. Probereme také přístupy k vyhodnocování výstupů generovaných pomocí ML a odhalování generativních artefaktů a ukážeme, jak Blender zvládne i „divné“ ne-umělecké projekty – například vizualizaci distribuce prvočísel nebo vizualizaci a analýzu sociálních sítí. EN: A practical overview of tech art in Blender focused on game development—from creating content for large open worlds and procedural generation to automated game asset QA and art pipeline tools. We’ll also cover approaches for evaluating ML-generated outputs and catching generation artifacts, and show how Blender can handle “weird” non-art projects too—like prime distribution visualization or social network visualization and analysis. 19:40 **Fluid Simulation in Computer Graphics/Simulace Tekutin v Počítačové Grafice** *(Tomáš Skřivan - SideFX Software)* CZ: V této přednášce se podíváme na základy simulace tekutin v počítačové grafice a ukážeme, jak vytvořit fyzikálně věrohodné simulace ohně, kouře, vody, písku a sněhu. Prozkoumáme tři hlavní přístupy, metody založené na mřížce, na částicích a hybridní metody, přičemž zdůrazníme silné a slabé stránky každé z nich. Také se krátce podíváme na matematický popis tekutin na kterém tyto metody staví a ukážeme, jak slavné Navier-Stokesovy rovnice jsou v podstatě jen Newtonovým druhým pohybovým zákonem. Celá přednáška bude ilustrována konkrétními simulacemi vytvořenými v programu Houdini od SideFX. EN: In this talk we will explore the fundamentals of fluid simulation in computer graphics, show how to create physically plausible simulations of fire, smoke, water, sand, and snow. We examine the three main approaches, grid-based, particle-based, and hybrid methods, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. We also take a brief look at the underlying mathematics, showing how the famous Navier-Stokes equations are essentially Newton's second law of motion. The journey through fluid simulation will be illustrated with concrete examples created in SideFX's Houdini. 20:30 - 21:00 Ukončení akce a přesunutí do blízké restaurace / End of the event and move to a nearby restaurant Originál Formanka https://maps.app.goo.gl/QUE5cnqsJ2vankJk8

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!
