Working in the intersection of data science & cyber security / I know more about x509 and TLS than your average person out walking their cat / I collect hobbies like other people collect comic books. turbocodr on that other site

A bit of an intro to me. I work in data science and cyber security research, but don’t post much about that because companies don’t like sharing and also I always doubt myself. My hobby is collecting hobbies and love nothing more than going deep into a new thing. Most of what I’ll post will be that

I look forward to hiring a Chief AI Officer whose job will be to just tell anyone who suggests using AI for anything to shut the fuck up.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price | Fortune

First stab at drawing a tree still life. Branches that angle forward or back are hard, but I like how the wiring turned out. I’ll be working on this one for a couple days probably

A friend who is now building agentic systems described the work as ..."neither data nor science. It's just gaslighting the AI into believing it's capable of doing that task and flipping when it hallucinates"

Obviously Vance remembers nothing about being in the military. They eat that shit like candy
So... now MAGA is at war with both acetaminophen *and* ibuprofen?
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

Picked up this book tonight, originally written in the 1800s. The Introduction is 11 pages long going on and on about “kids these days want to use shortcuts (color pencils) and don’t want to put in the effort to get good at something”

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. Playing with shadows and different “values” to show contrast. My angels of depth are still wonky but it’s getting better

Continuing to work on my drawing skills. I’m happy with how I’m drawing bark and I’m starting to figure out shading a bit. But I’ve got foliage pads without obvious branches which looks odd.

I’ve got a perennial mint patch and one of my favorite things is cleaning up all the woody branches in the fall. The wood smells so sweet and minty. Its like the best mojito ever

Did some fall maintenance on my Japanese maple. I think I want cut the left trunk 1 node shorter eventually, and next year I’ll cut the main trunk stump back flush with the bottom of the left trunk. This one has 5-6 years to develop before it’s in good shape #bonsai
