PyData Prague #35 - Probably unreliable vulnerabilities
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).

Frontend Crew Talk: When tools move faster than us
**Frontend developers in 2026 are spoiled for choice. New frameworks promising freedom, AI assistants promising to handle the boring parts. But between the framework debates and the quiet burnout, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?**
Join us on **Tuesday, May 26**, for an evening focused on the honest reality of frontend development in 2026. Four engineers from Applifting and Mews will share what's actually working—and what isn't—in framework decisions, AI workflows, and the human side of keeping up with constant change.
Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.**
👉[ Register here](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) 👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!**
**Who’s speaking?**
**[Michal Čížek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michal-%C4%8D%C3%AD%C5%BEek/)**, senior frontend developer at Applifting, will open with a side-by-side comparison of Next.js and TanStack Start—two frameworks with fundamentally different philosophies—to help you pick for your next project.
**[Jan Marek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/j4n-marek/)**, senior software engineer at Mews, will follow with how frustration and laziness can guide useful AI workflows, automating each “I don't want to do this manually” from Slack thread to announcement.
**[Tereza Šimková](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simkovat/)**, also a senior frontend developer at Applifting, will offer an honest, non-technical look at the hidden psychological toll of working with AI coding assistants.
Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Matyas Mihálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matyasmih%C3%A1lka/)**, frontend tech lead at Applifting, bringing a grounded take on what AI coding tools actually deliver day-to-day and how to adopt them without burning out.

Instruction level parallelism
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

Teaching AI Agents to Read Maps
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.
Oh, and the [survey](https://swalgeqfetb.typeform.com/to/UywC1NvW)? Still open — developers only. And there's [LEGO ](https://www.lego.com/cs-cz/product/the-razor-crest-75447)waiting for whoever fills it out. 🧱

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. 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.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
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.
