Pykonik | Tech Talks #82

We're happy to announce another Pykonik Tech Talks event! This time we welcome you at a new venue in the spaces of ECHO Miasta (Kapelanka 56)!

How to find us?

DO NOT enter the shopping mall!
Go around the building's left side and look for the gokarting track entrance.
Standing in front of the rotating door, look to the left and find Pykonik's logo on the door, this is the door leading to us!
Go onto the 2nd floor using the elevator or the staircase.

You can also expect lightning talks - up to ~5 min talks that anyone can give on pretty much any topic!

During the lectures, starting from 18:30, the bar at the venue will be available just for us. After the presentations are finished, we're staying for the afterparty/networking part of the meetup at the venue.

There is also a live stream planned!

Widły, ale nie z igły, czyli fork vs spawn vs forkserver

Metody startowania procesu w module multiprocessing to przykład rzeczy, którą nie musisz się interesować, aż nagle bardzo musisz, kiedy kod napisany na jednej platformie (a może nawet na tej samej w innych wersjach Pythona!) przestaje działać.

Porozmawiamy o tym, dlaczego odejście od klasycznego fork() było potrzebne, jak przebiegało i dlaczego Linux to w tym przypadku wyjątkowy (ale szybki!) płatek śniegu.

How I spent 16 hours prepping a local LLM and AI agent for 1 hour of offline work

Ever spent a whole weekend automating a 5-minute task? Same here.

In this session, I’ll share the rabbit hole I went down trying to build a fully local, offline AI coding agent. I'll walk you through what it takes to keep coding with AI when the Wi-Fi is dead.

What we'll cover:

What agent to use and why? My journey testing tools like pi, opencode, droid, codex, and claude, and wrangling local models using LM Studio and/or Ollama.
What we actually need to have? What hardware, context, and dependencies do you actually need to run your project entirely locally?
The Setup & Results. How I finally got it all working together - and if that work was actually worth it.
Live Demo. Let's try to add a feature to my app using zero internet 👀.
