SUMMARY:In Person - San Diego 3D Printing Monthly Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Hi All\, \nThis is our in-person meeting on the 4th saturday of the month.(2nd Saturday will continue to be online) We will meet at SD Colab 3.0 makerspace(on Mission Gorge Place). \nMembers from all background’s come by and talk about how 3D printing has changed their lives for the better. For myself I like to make artistic objects with some functionality\, others are building custom printers and exploring custom wearables. Sometimes people will bring their printers to share. Anything is possible so let’s chat! \nDo you have a printer? What do you want to make? Just curious and want to chat with similar interests? \nStop in and get your Saturday morning motivation amped up with a cup of coffee\, and make something! \nDisclaimer: We take photos during the event of people and equipment to share in our community. \nJoin our discord to continue the chat.\nhttp://discord.SanDiego3DPrinting.com

SUMMARY:Building Consistent Content Systems: Create repeatable\, reliable content with consistent voice\, structure\, and style
DESCRIPTION:The secret to brand consistency isn’t micromanaging every piece of content; it’s building systems. Welcome to VibeCraft University\, our recurring “working lecture” series where you don’t just listen—you build. This session focuses on Building Consistent Content Systems: creating repeatable\, reliable content with consistent voice\, structure\, and style. We’ll be using SidePC to demonstrate these concepts\, but the principles apply to any AI workflow. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nHow to define and codify your content voice and style\nHow to structure templates for consistent output across different content types\nHow to ensure quality and brand alignment at scale\n\nCome Ready to Build\nWe aren’t just here to talk; we’re here to build. To get the most out of this session\, come prepared with a content challenge you’re facing. Whether it’s maintaining consistent tone across your newsletter\, standardizing article structures\, aligning marketing copy across team members\, or ensuring your social posts all sound like “you”—bring that challenge with you.\nBy the end of the hour\, you won’t just understand content systems theory; you’ll have built a custom content template that produces consistent\, on-brand output every time. \n🚫 No Coding? No Problem.\nTechnical Skills: If you can describe your brand voice in plain English\, you can build consistent content systems.\nWe’ll be using SidePC.app\, a platform designed to let you build powerful applications using nothing but natural language. This session is designed for everyone—from solo creators to marketing teams—who wants reliable\, repeatable content without sacrificing quality or voice. \n—\nVibeCraft University is a recurring series where learning happens through doing. Each session tackles practical AI skills you can implement immediately.

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

SUMMARY:1 Million Cups
DESCRIPTION:1 Million Cups is a weekly event for entrepreneurs\, by entrepreneurs — built on the belief that conversations over coffee can accelerate innovation. Each week\, two founders take the stage to pitch their business for six minutes\, followed by 20 minutes of honest\, constructive feedback from a room full of fellow entrepreneurs\, business professionals\, students\, and curious minds.\nThis isn’t a pitch competition — it’s a collaborative environment where ideas are refined\, challenges are unpacked\, and next steps become clearer. Attendees are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions\, offer insights\, and share resources that help presenters grow. \nWhether you’re launching your first startup\, scaling your next venture\, or just looking to get plugged into your local entrepreneurial ecosystem\, 1 Million Cups is where you’ll find the energy\, perspective\, and community you need to move forward. \nCome for the coffee. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a better business.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special edition of the monthly AI\, ML and Computer Vision Meetup focused on Physical AI! \nDate and Location \nJan 28\, 2026\n9 – 11 AM Pacific\nOnline. Register for the Zoom! \nHybrid Cognition for Robotics: LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Physical Decision-Making \nPhysical systems operate in dynamic\, uncertain\, and constraint-heavy environments where classical reinforcement learning often struggles. In this talk\, I present a hybrid framework where large language models act as a reasoning layer that guides an RL agent through high-level interpretation\, constraint awareness\, and adaptive strategy shaping. Instead of generating actions\, the LLM provides structured contextual guidance that improves robustness\, sample efficiency\, and policy generalization in physical decision-making tasks. Early experiments demonstrate significant benefits under distribution shifts and safety-critical constraints that break standard RL. This work highlights a path toward more reliable\, interpretable\, and adaptable AI controllers for next-generation robotics and embodied systems.

SUMMARY:TILOS-HDSI Seminar: Safety\, Representations\, and Generative Learning in Dynamical Systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk explores the interplay between model-based guarantees and learning-based flexibility in the control of dynamical systems. I begin with safety-critical control using control barrier functions (CBFs)\, highlighting that while CBFs enforce state constraints\, they may induce unstable internal dynamics. I introduce conditions under which CBF-based safety filters ensure boundedness of the full system state. I then transition to learning representations of hybrid dynamical systems. I present a framework that learns continuous neural representations by exploiting the geometric structure induced by guards and resets\, enabling accurate flow prediction without explicit mode switching. Finally\, I discuss generative learning approaches for control\, emphasizing guided diffusion models that jointly represent states and actions. Through applications to agile humanoid locomotion\, motion synthesis\, and dynamic manipulation\, I demonstrate how generative models can produce versatile\, long-horizon behaviors while respecting physical constraints. Together\, these results highlight how structure\, geometry\, and learning can bridge safety guarantees and expressive control in complex dynamical systems.

SUMMARY:Let's Cowork in PB!
DESCRIPTION:Tired of working from your actual home\, and want a change of scenery? New to San Diego and want to meet new people? Come join us at our weekly coworking session. \nIt’s a pretty casual affair with new people every week\, some regulars\, and some just passing through. We take over a few tables at Second Nature in Pacific Beach and do a bit of work and a bit of getting to know each other. Come and go as you please\, but do remember to bring your laptop (charged as plugs are few). \nIt’s free to join\, but ideally grab some coffee or lunch & tip the servers. \nA note about RSVPs: \nThis group aims to help people meet in a small group. The max amount of people for this event is 12 people. We close the RSVP list on Mondays if there is a waitlist\, and if you can’t make it we do kindly ask that you change your status as soon as you know to give someone else a chance to attend. Those on the waitlist will receive a note on the day of the meetup letting them know if there is space or not. \nIf you sign up\, but do not attend\, you will be marked as a No Show. People with 5 No Shows will be removed from the group.

SUMMARY:Career Moms Connect: The LinkedIn Brand Audit
DESCRIPTION:Does your LinkedIn profile tell your actual story\, or is it just an old resume gathering dust? Building a career while raising a family requires a different kind of strategy\, one that maximizes your visibility without wasting your time. After our deep dive into Social Selling Index (SSI) scores in Session 2\, we’re taking it a step further. \nBring your laptop (or your phone) and join us for a “working” coffee session where we move past the theory and into the execution. \nIn this session\, we’re auditing: \n\nThe First Impression: Is your headline working for you or against you?\nThe Narrative: How to write an “About” section that highlights your expertise AND your “why.”\nThe Data: Checking your SSI score and identifying the 1-2 levers you can pull to increase your reach.\nThe Content: Real-talk on what to post when you have zero time but need to stay top-of-mind.\n\nThe Vibe: No “perfect” corporate personas allowed. This is a space for honest feedback\, collaborative brainstorming\, and peer-led support for driven women navigating the juggle. \nThe Goal: You leave with at least three immediate updates to your profile that make you more “findable” to the right people.
