LA Social & Tech Meetup | ~ Pasadena ~

Let's stop using our laptops and start socializing before we turn into robots! Whether you're a tech enthusiast or want to join IT, we will host meetups to share stories, learn from each other, share experiences, and network. **NOTE: We are currently trying out different venues to find one that works well for our group. Please message us on WhatsApp (see below) if you are having trouble finding the venue.** **SUGGESTION**: Those who would like to continue exploring the city of Pasadena after the meetup are very welcome to join me.

Building Demand Forecasting with BigQuery ML

As businesses strive to stay ahead of market trends, predicting future demand is no longer optional, it's a competitive necessity. This hands-on workshop addresses the practical challenges of processing massive datasets and building predictive models. You will implement a time-series forecasting strategy using **BigQuery Machine Learning** to analyze historical patterns and predict future demand. Using the public NYC Citi Bike Trips dataset as our sandbox, you will learn how to: * **Explore and query** large-scale public datasets directly in BigQuery. * **Train a forecasting model** using the powerful ARIMA algorithm to handle parallel multi-item pipelines. * **Evaluate model performance** using key statistical metrics like AIC to ensure accuracy. * **Generate batch predictions** for the next 30 days of demand. Join us to learn how to combine SQL-based machine learning with deterministic data analytics to make your applications smarter, predictive, and data-driven. **Bring your laptop and be ready to build!

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED (Until the end of summer!)** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? * **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**

Café y plática en Corner Bakery (Pasadena)

It's again that time of year when sitting outside makes for a pleasant evening. So let's meet, have a beverage or bite to eat at one of our favorite locations, and enjoy some fresh air and conversation in Spanish. We'll all be sitting outside at a table or tables near Corner Bakery. I'll have a Meetup sign and an orange Spanish-English dictionary on the table, so it shouldn't be too hard to find us. You can find free parking in the Macy's garage (enter on Del Mar west of Lake), in the structure just south of Corner Bakery at San Pasqual, or sometimes on the street on Lake Ave. after 6pm.
