Chronic pain support group

We meet up, drink far too many teas and coffees and talk about our own experiences of living with chronic pain and injury. We share coping mechanisms, funny stories and do our best to support one another. We are not medically trained and do not offer medical advice, we simply share how we have tried to deal with our own issues. We come from all walks of life and do not turn anyone away nor do we ask someone to share if they don’t want to, we just want to offer a bit of help to those who are in pain.

Kew to Kings: Path to Parliament along the Thames, with tour

**DESCRIPTION** As you might know, I work at the Houses of Parliament, so what better way to end a riverside adventure than right on its doorstep? This 20 km tough hike starts at Kew gardens station and follows the beautiful Thames Path through leafy parks, riverside pubs, and iconic London neighbourhoods, finishing at Westminster.

Grafana & Friends London: Autumn edition

We’re back for our autumn meetup edition, and this time we’re taking Grafana beyond the usual dashboards to track aircraft overhead in real time (and more). Join us for an evening of surprising ideas, live data, and a talk you will not want to miss! Speakers: * **Simon Prickett, Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs** * **Martin Costello, Staff Software Engineer at Grafana Labs** **18:00 - 18:30:** Arrivals and food 🍕 **18:30 - 20:10 Main talks** 1. **Aircraft Tracking with Grafana and Redis by Simon Prickett** Most people think of Grafana as the go to solution for monitoring Kubernetes clusters, databases, and application metrics. In this talk, I'll use it for something completely different: tracking aircraft flying overhead in real time using a Raspberry Pi, a software-defined radio, and publicly broadcast ADS-B signals. Starting with an empty database, we'll pull data out of the air during the session and see what we can learn about the local airspace. What could possibly go wrong? 2. **Making Your First Open Source Contribution by** **Martin Costello** A lot of people are enthusiastic to contribute to an open source project, but can feel intimidated and overwhelmed by where to start and how to propose a change. In this talk I'll offer tips from 13 years of experience contributing to open source projects on what makes a good first contribution (spoilers: not just a new feature!) and how to structure your first PR to maximise the chances of it being accepted, particularly in this new age of AI agents. Maybe this could be the first step on your open source journey? **20:10-20:30 -** lightning talk slot. **This could be you - contact us if you'd like to speak about a Grafana use case, or show us your dashboard.** ### 📸 Important Information * **Photography & Media**: Photos and videos may be taken during the event.

Large language models look like they just predict the next word, so it is surprising how much structure they build inside. They actually represent concepts: you can find directions in their activations for things like gender, sentiment, or even truthfulness, and you can use those directions to steer what the model does. This talk starts there, with the evidence that concepts really are represented inside these models. Then it goes one level deeper: what does it actually mean for a concept to be "a direction"? The answer depends on geometry, on how you choose to measure, and that choice does more work than it looks. You will come away seeing the inside of an LLM a little more clearly, with a few surprises about something many of us use every day.
