Ok... I know LA likes its traffic, but 12 lane road in the middle of downtown?

On my walk this afternoon I spotted a Turkey Vulture, and as I recorded this observation in Merlin Bird ID I noticed that they are hiring a Python machine learning engineer https://jobs.hr.cornell.edu/us/en/job/WDR-00051454 Could be a fun job for the right person!

"The data fields involved include information like usernames, email addresses, course names, enrollment information and messages. Core learning data (course content, submissions, credentials) was not compromised."
"Canvas by Instructure is fully operational and remains safe to use. Core learning data is not compromised."

So, basically, personal information and federally protected data was stolen, but it's safe because nobody's slides were compromised?

Props to #Cornell for taking a stand against internet purge laws. A Cornell alum event was just handing out these age gate bypass tools.

Programming Still Sucks. — Writing

Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.

My ongoing project to capture the enduring beauty of the Pennsylvania Railroad I1s locomotive No. 4483. According to the documentation available at https://www.rgusrail.com/nyprr4483.html, this locomotive is the last surviving example of the 598 Decapod-type engines once produced. Now more than a century old, it stands as a remarkable example of our industrial engineering legacy, which has inspired the work of American Precisionists photographers and painters.
