Why did you leave Waterloo? Aren't you considered about the US recent policies of academia?

The problem is in human abuse. with more tools like AI, people tend not to collaborate but pursue a selfish path working alone. Empathy and human interaction are integral components of healthy education.

It took me a while to discover this limit, and turned out to be solvable using high-school Calculus. #Math #MathSky

It took us years of bloodbath to be here. Sticking to one short-sighted narrative is bad for everyone. All of humanity should celebrate this day for a long living peace. #Israel #Palestine

Following up D. Kurtzer, I found he did support Palestine as well. Full report: www.mei.edu/sites/defaul...

In my home country, and even within the community of The American University in Cairo, a US ambassador to Israel is not welcomed to speak.

#Palestine is calling for help, rebuilding its universities. #science
Quote: In light of the systematic destruction of every university by Israeli forces, rendering the academic community nonfunctional, our focus now has shifted mostly to rebuilding Gaza’s higher education system.

Everyone is speaking about Sora 2. I'll try Veo for the first time. The historical walk of Gödel and Einstein. #science

I've just brought a chalkboard into my house 🙂; Today I'm a mathematician. Any tips? #MathSky #Math

I never thought faculty members do receive emails, expecting an answer the same or soon. Do you maintain a whitelist of VIP senders for such cases?

Modular Manifolds A geometric framework for co-designing neural net optimizers with manifold constraints.

The first time I see manifolds used by practitioner AI engineers. #science #AI

It's wonderful to see the community supportive like that. #MathSky #Math

YouTube video by Turing Awardee Clips Pearl on the importance of rebellion to science.

Excellent advice to young students: Rebellion pays — don't follow the system. #science

Thank you for supporting the community 🙂.

You are a good man, who supported many students, including me. That alone is enough to make you happy 😊.

Thank you for supporting the community 🙂.

Petition by CS & Math Laureates: Freedom for kidnapped children [Guest post by Shafi Goldwasser, See also PDF version of document] On the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an attack near the Israel/Gaza border. In villages and towns near the …

This petition should be re-directed to those who justify innocent casualties as the only path for peace. #MathSky

"While we individually have different views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we all emphatically condemn the murder .. of civilians."

For the record In response to my recent blog posts, which expressed views that are entirely boring and middle-of-the-road for Americans as a whole, American Jews, and Israelis (“yes, war to destroy Hamas is basic…

Quote: "war to destroy Hamas is basically morally justified, even if there are innocent casualties".
I denounce. innocent casualties should never be justified but declared as a war crime. It's a militant operational failure for the IDF and US, if innocent casualties is their only solution. #israel

What's the test passing rate of the faculty?

Math is reputed to be for a limited gifted segment of people. I found this from an advice for startups: paulgraham.com/13sentences.... #MathSky #Math

I'd say, students need to learn how to collaborate with each other. See Erik's: erikdemaine.org/supercollabo...

Those blog posts are super cool, introducing advanced research topics in an accessible manner. I hope others follow the same path, because getting started into a new research area is challenging.
