NEW MEETUP SERIES: PAPERCRAFTING + PROGRAMMING + AI & WHATEVER just before hardware hack night

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/new-meetup-series-papercrafting-programming-ai-whateve… ANNOUNCING A NEW LEARNING HOW TO LEARN PAPER CRAFTING + ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMMING AND MATH WHATEVER ELSE SERIES RIGHT BEFORE OUR HARDWARE HACK NIGHTS ON TUESDAYS! We kept talking about this but we’re finally going to do it! Why not meet up right before hardware hack night and do some hardcore whiteboarding and paper crafting around ephemereal topics like artificial intelligence! At the end hopefully we’ll have something cute to take home, or at least post on the walls. The risks we take using razor blades and hazards of paper cuts are outweighed by the reverse exercises we do to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome and relaxation of gluing and folding to create something tangible. Come join us for early evening 7-8:30 pm papercrafting sessions on Tuesdays – we’ll experiment and see how well this goes! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Newbie building an LLM model ai

by Romy Ilano

Hi I’m studying how to build my own LLM for fun. I’m thinking this would be a fun study group for either Monday (women and non binary night) or even hardware hack night as I’m interested in making paper models of the concepts (maybe with pictures of cats on them) to make these concepts stick ! Anyone else interested ? I’ll try to start a study group. Maybe we can meet right before hardware hack night and do pure whiteboarding no online classes or screens Sent from my iPhone

New thrift store down the street that accepts donations, has great clothes & gives free clothes to moms!

by Romy Ilano

New thrift store down the street that accepts donations, has great clothes & gives free clothes to moms! It's on Broadway and 15th street (almost a straight shot past the cute triangle building park) from our garage. They're accepting clean donations and have really nice clothes and even furniture! Here are some photographs below. If you want to donate or buy nice stuff check them out. I also like how they have a donation program where moms can come and get free stuff once a month. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/albums/72177720322167516/ @nextround_hub ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Meeting notes + moving stuff work party?

by Paige P

Hi everyone Please check out the meeting notes from last night https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2024-11-21 Some todos we have *space todos* - clear out all things stored under the staircase (the "computer" library?). This is on request of the fire inspector. Given this is a lot of stuff, I think we should do some e-wasting. CALLI is helping us, we just need to put it in the trash room - CCL gives a cut of profit from equipment sales to whoever does the work to post items on craigslist. If anyone is interested in doing that work in Sudo Room, speak up! - We could cart some stuff over to the entrance hall and promote a buy nothing day with the free store https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day. Free Store doesnt have capacity to store a lot of electronics but no problem if we bring whatever isn't taken back into sudo room or ewaste - talk to CC about doing sewing programming out of Sudo Room for the rest of the year. If that's agreed to, then we need to make some space in Sudo Room for this - make a Sudo Room sign and lighting for our new entrance *nonprofit forming todos* - Finalize bylaws - Find new insurance plans - Hire someone to do admin work *communications todo* - (re)create a discord? Right now we have a channel on the Omni slack. I see there's some open source discord alternatives but I haven't used any. Paige
