The Thanksgiving Play, by Larissa FastHorse
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.

As such, it contains some discussions of anti-Indigenous racism and of the genocide of Indigenous Americans. It contains an episode of anti-Indigenous mock violence.

Hybrid MI Python: Michigan Python
NEW LOCATION THIS WEEK! Cahoots Coworking in Ann Arbor
Presenter: Eric Humphrey
Title: Python -> English -> Code: Viewing LLMs as Information Compression
Description: This talk proposes a new way to think about LLMs: as a compression-decompression pipeline. We "compress" complex Python logic into a compact natural language representation, and then use an LLM to "decompress" that information back into functional code. We explore how inherently "lossy" this compression is, look at what is "lost" in translation (syntax, variable names), and what is preserved (hopefully function, logic). Understanding this analogy can help us become more effective at using LLMs to write maintainable code.
(Please review the "how to find us notes" about parking and getting into Cahoots.)

Virtual Orchestra
Free Pop-Up VR Experience with the Philharmonia Orchestra
Stop by, pop on a VR headset, and discover what it’s like to sit right in the middle of a symphony orchestra!
From London to Ann Arbor, the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Virtual Reality (VR) experience, Virtual Orchestra, gives you a “musician’s eye view.” How does it feel to sit in the viola section right in front of the conductor, up at the back with the French horns, or in the middle among the woodwind? How does the sound change as you turn to face the double basses or the violins? Is it exciting or nerve-racking (or a bit of both!) to face an audience of 2,500 people? What does the music sound like from the inside out?
Stop by and experience it yourself!

The Woman in Black, by Stephen Mallatratt and Susan Hill
A lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting a story that has long troubled him. A story of a specter who haunts the town where her illegitimate child was killed. Anyone who sees her dies... and this tragic story hums to life in ways unimaginable.
