This weekend (Saturday) is another of foulab’s brewing days, and this one will be open to the wider world of brewing enthusiasts and beginners! We’ll be doing iseveral examples of beer kits. With enough public interest, we can do a formal workshop complete with notes and presentation. Alternately we can use the stand around the brew pot and chitchat learning method.
We’ll start at about 10:00. On average, brewing takes 5 hours +/- discussion period.
For those who would like a formal presentation and notes, recommended donation to help cover material costs is 10$ to 20$. While all donations are always appreciated, if you just want to drop in for brewing chitchat and to help stir the brew no donation is needed.
Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnd the new backend is setup!
We will have the old site up for posterity soon.
Goals:
Learn how to setup a wifi access point to eavesdrop on traffic and launch man in the middle attacks on wifi devices.
Secondary goal is to learn how to intercept communications between mobile applications and their manufacturers and third parties.

Perhaps, but they are probably not reading this website anyway!
In September 2016, a Deep Learning School was held at Stanford, and they generously posted their lectures online. Starting in 2017, once a week for 6 weeks we will get together at Foulab to watch and discuss the course presentations.
All are welcome to come and simply listen to the lectures, but bringing a laptop and getting into the math after the video is highly encouraged.
The schedule is subject to adaptation, but currently we plan to watch two lectures per evening, in the order they were originally presented.
Update: Here is a useful playlist of the lectures.
Vegetarian chili will be available for a small donation.
Now with a facebook event you can sign up to!
Machine learning Wednesdays will start on Jan 11, 2017. To avoid a time conflict with the excellent meetup group Papers We Love, we will take a break on the last Wednesday of each month. Thus the schedule is 19:00-22:00-Jan 11, Jan 18, Feb 1, 8, 15, March 1.
