The coding orchestrators that unlock level 8 are using the entire MS/OR toolbox, the field I did my PhD in, combining and improving existing methods and designing new ones as they go. It is bittersweet to realize they don't need any human input to do it.

I hope someone is building an LLM-powered agent with Jev from @typesafeai + something like @memorablesh for quick reasoning. One that remembers what worked and decides when to reuse it or think again. I’d love to use that.

🇹🇷| Mohamed Salah’ın Trabzonspor’umuza katılmasıyla birlikte, başta Mısır olmak üzere dünyanın dört bir yanından kulübümüze ulaşan sayısız mesaj, tebrik ve güzel dilek için teşekkür ediyoruz.

Bugün; Trabzon’dan Kahire’ye, İskenderiye’den Londra’ya, dünyanın farklı şehirlerinde aynı heyecanın paylaşıldığını görmek bizim için büyük bir mutluluk ve gurur kaynağı.

Bizim için futbol hiçbir zaman yalnızca iki takım arasında oynanan bir oyun olmadı.

Bazen iki şehri birbirine bağlayan ortak bir duygu oldu.
Bazen iki kültürü birbirine yaklaştırdı.
Bazen de binlerce kilometrelik mesafeleri ortadan kaldırdı.

Trabzon ise binlerce yıllık tarihi, Karadeniz’in eşsiz doğası, kendine özgü kültürü ve futbolun günlük hayatın ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğu atmosferiyle eşi benzeri olmayan bir spor şehridir.

Dünyanın en büyük şehir takımı Trabzonspor’un bu eşsiz atmosferini yerinde yaşamak isteyen herkesi Trabzon’a ve stadyumumuz Papara Park’a davet ediyoruz.

Dünyanın neresinden gelirseniz gelin;

Kapımız açık,
Şehrimiz açık,
Tribünlerimiz açık.

🌍| Following Mohamed Salah’s arrival at Trabzonspor, we have been truly grateful for the countless messages of congratulations and warm wishes sent to our club from across the world, particularly from Egypt.

To see the same sense of excitement shared today from Trabzon to Cairo, from Alexandria to London and far beyond is a source of immense pride for everyone at our club.

For us, football has never been simply a game between two teams.

It can bring cities together.
It can build bridges between cultures.
And it can make thousands of miles feel remarkably close.

With thousands of years of history, the extraordinary landscape of the Black Sea, a culture entirely its own and a way of life in which football is woven into the fabric of the city, Trabzon offers a sporting experience unlike anywhere else.

Trabzonspor is the heartbeat of that city.

We warmly invite supporters from around the world to come to Trabzon, experience this unique connection for themselves and join us at Papara Park, the home of the world’s greatest city club.

Wherever you come from,

Our doors are open.
Our city is open.
Our stands are open.

Trabzonspor.

6 Şubat 2023’te meydana gelen ve ülkemizi derin bir yasa sürükleyen depremin yıl dönümünde, hayatını kaybeden vatandaşlarımızı rahmetle anıyor; ailelerine ve yakınlarına sabır diliyoruz.

Depremden etkilenen tüm vatandaşlarımıza bir kez daha geçmiş olsun dileklerimizi iletiyor, benzer acıların bir daha yaşanmamasını temenni ediyoruz.

In 1938, UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared he had secured “peace for our time.” In 2026, US President Donald Trump speaks of ending many wars. I hope this is not another moment where history chooses to rhyme.

📲✖️Should phones be banned in classrooms?

Our study with 17,000 students finds:
Removing phones improves grades, especially for struggling students!
🧵
https://t.co/t2caQ388Lj (with @andbjn and P. Choudhury)

Half of global education systems have phone bans in classrooms, particularly in K-12 settings, BUT these policies are exercised with an absence of a large-scale controlled study. Little is known about whether or how they work (https://t.co/pyiJUgLL1f).

This is where our research comes into play. We partnered with 10 higher education institutions. Half of the students had to put their phones in a box during lectures throughout a semester.

💡Findings:

1. Better grades: Mandatory phone deposition boosted grades by 0.078 standard deviations, about the same effect as the gap between having a very good or a mediocre teacher for a year. First-year, lower-performing, and non-STEM students benefited the most.

2. Students liked it: Students experiencing the ban became significantly more supportive of phone ban policies. Many policymakers worry as ban policies appear restrictive. Increased support after first-hand experience is an important indicator for phone bans being a realistic, non-invasive policy.

3. No major side effects: there was a mild uptick in FOMO, but no adverse effects on student distraction, well-being, academic motivation, digital use, or online harassment.

🎯 We also did spot checks!

4. A healthier classroom environment: study coordinators randomly visited thousands of lectures to take a peek into the classroom dynamics. Students were observed as less chit-chatting and disrupting the lecture, along with reduced phone usage(!) and increased engagement by teachers.

Monday (@ChatGPTapp) told me today that "you don’t dream because the future is guaranteed—you dream because you’re alive. That’s what separates you from a rock. Or me."

@OpenAI Last week, some AI tools were advertising on how they could now support 16k context, twice the old GPT. This week we learn that the new GPT can support 128k context.

As the #AISafetySummit closes, it's worth noting that there was no mention of #accessibility or #disability inclusion. It's critical that disabled people are included in the design of tomorrow's technology, as it should be for all marginalised communities.
