Paper Club

Weekly deep-dives into foundational CS papers

Paper Club is a study group for working engineers who want to understand the papers behind the tools they use every day. We meet weekly to read, present, and discuss one paper in depth. No prerequisites beyond curiosity and a willingness to work through math. We've been running since 2023. Members span five time zones.

Topics Covered

Distributed consensus (Paxos, Raft), Database internals (LSM trees, MVCC), Networking (TCP congestion, QUIC), ML systems (attention, transformers, scaling laws), Operating systems (scheduling, memory management)

Format

One paper per week, distributed Monday, Presenter rotates (15min summary + 45min discussion), Wednesdays 18:00 UTC on Discord, Recordings available for async members, Reading guides and annotations shared in Notion

AI Prompt

Copy this prompt to generate a compatible template with any LLM:

You are an expert frontend designer.
Create a beautiful, modern HTML template for "Study Group" that strictly follows the constraints and schema below.

## Constraints
- Style everything using inline style="" attributes only (no external CSS, no <link>, no <style> tags)
- Do NOT use: <script>, <iframe>, <form>, <input>, <textarea>, <button>, <select>, <object>, <embed>, <details>, <dialog>
- Place data placeholders using this syntax: {{group_name:string}}, {{focus:string}}, {{about:text}}
- The template must be a single HTML fragment (no <html>, <head>, or <body> tags)
- Use system fonts: font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif (or Georgia, serif for editorial)

## JSON Schema
```json
{
  "group_name": "string",
  "focus": "string",
  "about": "text",
  "topics": [
    "string"
  ],
  "format": [
    "string"
  ],
  "email": "email",
  "join_url": "link"
}
```

## Placeholder Syntax
Each data point uses `{{key:type}}` — for example:
- `{{group_name:string}}` → string
- `{{focus:string}}` → string
- `{{about:text}}` → text
- `{{topics:list<string>}}` → list<string>
- `{{format:list<string>}}` → list<string>
- `{{email:email}}` → email
- `{{join_url:link}}` → link

Output ONLY the HTML code block. No explanation.
