Lightning talks Sunday
summary
Forty rapid microtalks condensed into a 45‑minute sprint: a pigeon segment showing 10 pigeons, 600 domestic breeds and a note that wild rock doves are almost gone; a pharmacy analysis that scrapes NHSBSA open data and prototypes a scheduler/predictor using Cursor and Cohere API to find open prescribable pharmacies; security tips urging a password manager and poetic master passwords; a GUI that automates SLURM jobs advocating MVP; and a preview of TY type checker (fast, gradual typing with an unknown type).
