That's it. That's the whole story.

I wrote a tutorial inspired by my experience conducting research with undergraduate students who knew how to code, but were yet to learn about optimization.

Nobody covers Wisconsin politics better than @danshafer.bsky.social & you should take advantage of this great deal

Israel had every right to respond to Hamas' 7 Oct 2023 attacks.

But this has NOT been a proportionate response: it has been an escalating campaign of war crimes, crimes against humanity & genocide as the world just watches.

It is fair to hold Israel to a higher standard than Hamas terrorists. 5/5

“Staying sane on the tenure track” by Shane Henderson. Written in 2008 but still good advice for junior faculty. people.orie.cornell.edu/shane/pubs/S... #orms

Yesterday I posted a maths puzzle that AIs all failed at (thanks for running the premium versions @xy-han.bsky.social and Ernest Ryu). The puzzle just needs elementary reasoning about p-norm balls (third row on my shelf below).

This thread gives the puzzle, solution, and a 3D printed demo :)

I’m excited to announce that my new book, _The Irrational Decision_, is now available for pre-order from Princeton University Press.

Gaza doctors ‘becoming too weak to treat patients’ as hunger crisis deepens

1.5 million Gazans is 75% of the population, half of whom are children.

This is *deliberate* starvation. Just one agency - UNRWA - has stated today it has enough food stockpiled outside the border to feed the population for months.

The Israeli govt must let food and water in & stop the killing.
