Ciao! L'appuntamento di **marzo** è per **mercoledì 11 alle 19** con un altro interessante talk in presenza, sempre al [Politecnico di Milano](https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B028'41.3%22N+9%C2%B013'43.6%22E/@45.478127,9.228763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d45.478127!4d9.228763?entry=ttu)! Questo mese lo speaker sarà **Girolamo Giannatempo**, con il talk **Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?** Nel mondo del design, l’accessibilità viene ancora troppo spesso vissuta come un insieme di regole da rispettare a malincuore, qualcosa che “rovina” l’estetica o limita la libertà progettuale. Spoiler: non è così. In questo talk parleremo di come progettare interfacce accessibili senza rinunciare alla qualità visiva, mostrando perché accessibilità ed estetica non solo possono convivere, ma possono rafforzarsi a vicenda. Partendo da esempi concreti e scelte progettuali reali, vedremo cosa succede quando l’accessibilità viene integrata fin dalle prime fasi del progetto: meno compromessi, decisioni più consapevoli, soluzioni più solide e più facili da spiegare anche in azienda (sì, anche a quel collega scettico). Ne parliamo insieme a Girolamo Giannatempo, designer di interfacce e certified web accessibility expert, che da anni aiuta aziende e team di design a rendere i loro siti web accessibili e inclusivi, senza sacrificare identità visiva e qualità dell’esperienza. Una chiacchierata pensata per chiunque lavori su interfacce digitali e voglia portare l’accessibilità fuori dalla checklist e dentro il progetto \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Saremo in diretta streaming** Non puoi partecipare di persona?

## (Lesson 2) ## What to expect Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required. ### Why we meet (two-session structure) This meetup is structured as **two lessons**: **Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)** * What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not) * Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline * What “24/7 execution” means in practice * Q&A and open discussion **Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)** * A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need * Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts * A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions (You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.) ### What to bring To make the second lesson smooth, please bring: * **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup) * **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration) If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both. ### Who this is for * People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline * Beginners who want a structured approach * Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress ### Agenda * Welcome + introductions * Lesson focus of the day (Why / How) * Guided walkthrough (where applicable) * Q&A + next steps ### How to find the group * Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group. * I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Frameworks, Patterns und Deployment-Modelle – oft steht die Architektur eines Systems schon fest, bevor überhaupt klar ist, was es leisten muss. Aber was, wenn wir den Spieß einfach umdrehen? In diesem Meetup decken wir auf, wie Architektur organisch aus den echten Qualitätszielen eines Systems entstehen kann. Stefan Priebsch zeigt, wie "Domain-Driven Architecture" funktioniert und warum wir uns nicht länger in voreiligen technologischen Sackgassen verrennen sollten. Aber damit nicht genug: Auch in der KI-Welt stoßen wir an harte Grenzen. LLMs sind zwar die aktuellen Stars am Tech-Himmel, aber ihre klassischen Transformer-Modelle fressen Speicher und sprengen bei langen Sequenzen schnell das Budget. Anastasia Hort nimmt uns mit in die Zukunft und erklärt, warum „Liquid Foundation Models“ (LFMs) der nächste logische Schritt sind. Was wäre, wenn neuronale Netze so flexibel wie biologische Systeme und so effizient wie klassische Differentialgleichungen arbeiten könnten? Sei dabei, wenn wir hinter die Kulissen blicken und die Evolution von zukunftssicheren Softwarearchitekturen und der nächsten KI-Generation beleuchten. **\*\*\* Agenda \*\*\*** 17:30 Uhr \| Doors open\. Schnapp' dir Snacks & Getränke\. 17:45 Uhr \| Welcome & Intro 18:00 Uhr \| Liquid Foundation Models: Jenseits klassischer LLMs \- Anastasia Hort 18:45 Uhr \| Domain\-Driven Architecture \- Stefan Priebsch 19:30 Uhr \| GetTogether Wir sind Partner der ROSIK. **\*\*\* Unsere Vorträge \*\*\*** **Liquid Foundation Models: Jenseits klassischer LLMs - Anastasia Hort** LLMs haben in wenigen Jahren unsere Art zu arbeiten, zu programmieren und zu kommunizieren grundlegend verändert. Während manche sie skeptisch betrachten und andere sie nahezu vergöttern, suchen viele nach Wegen, ihr Potenzial effizient auszuschöpfen. Doch klassische Transformer-Modelle stoßen zunehmend an ihre Grenzen: Die quadratische Komplexität der Attention und der speicherintensive KV-Cache machen die Verarbeitung langer Sequenzen extrem kostspielig. Was wäre, wenn neuronale Netze so flexibel wie biologische Systeme und zugleich so effizient wie klassische Differentialgleichungen sein könnten? In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen Blick auf eine neue Modellgeneration: Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs). Wir analysieren den Paradigmenwechsel von statischen Gewichten hin zu dynamischen, zeitkontinuierlichen Systemen. **Domain-Driven Architecture - Stefan Priebsch** Häufig entsteht Architektur sehr früh durch technologische Entscheidungen, etwa durch die Wahl von Frameworks, Architekturstilen oder Deployment-Modellen. Doch was wäre, wenn wir diesen Prozess umkehren würden? Wenn Architektur lediglich aus den Qualitätseigenschaften eines Systems hervorgeht und sich evolutionär weiterentwickelt? In diesem Vortrag wird Domain-Driven Architecture vorgestellt, ein neues, leichtgewichtiges Vorgehensmodell. Es ist von Domain-Driven Design inspiriert und dessen Prinzipien werden gezielt auf architektonische Entscheidungsprozesse übertragen. Dabei steht nicht nur die Modellierung im Vordergrund, sondern die bewusste Gestaltung einer langlebigen Architektur mit kurzlebigen Implementierungen, die sich anhand konkreter Schwellenwerte weiterentwickeln. Anhand realer Projektbeispiele lernen wir, wie das in der Praxis funktioniert. So entsteht eine Architektur, die gezielte und kontrollierte Veränderungen ermöglicht, ohne durch technologische Festlegungen frühzeitig eingeschränkt zu werden. Der Vortrag richtet sich an alle, die Architektur als evolutive Disziplin verstehen wollen, also als etwas, das bewusst entworfen, kontinuierlich bewertet und weiterentwickelt wird, während sich Domäne und Anforderungen stetig verändern. **\*\*\* Unsere Speaker \*\*\*** **Anastasia Hort** ist Software Engineer bei QAware. In ihrer Masterarbeit beschäftigte sie sich mit Data Science und vertiefte dabei ihr Interesse an datengetriebenen Methoden und Machine Learning. Besonders fasziniert sie, wie Modellierung und Algorithmen helfen können, Ordnung in komplexe, unsichere Systeme zu bringen. In ihrer Freizeit näht sie gerne und liebt es, aus einem simplen Stoffstück mit Kreativität und eigenen Ideen etwas Einzigartiges zu erschaffen. **Stefan Priebsch** ist Berater für Software-Erfolg. Mit über 30 Jahren Erfahrung als Berater, Coach, Trainer, Universitätsdozent und Keynote-Speaker hilft er Unternehmen dabei, komplexe Software in vorhersehbaren Geschäftswert umzuwandeln. Er hat einen Abschluss in Informatik, ist Erfinder von zwei Patenten und Autor mehrerer Fachbücher. Er hält regelmäßig Vorträge auf internationalen Konferenzen, wo er konventionelles Denken hinterfragt und Unternehmen dabei hilft, nachhaltige, weiterentwickelbare Systeme aufzubauen. Stefan ist bekannt dafür, architektonische Klarheit mit geschäftlicher Wirkung zu verbinden. Dabei konzentriert er sich auf Softwarearchitektur, domänengetriebenes Design und entscheidungsorientierte Transformation, um Technologie mit strategischen Zielen in Einklang zu bringen.

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
