I’ve taught for nearly two decades, but this has happened for the first time!! Last day of teaching for the semester in my Layout course at Missouri S&T! 🙏🙏😊😊
Passengers evacuated onto the runway via emergency slide after an American Airlines flight aborted its takeoff on the runway in Denver on Saturday. One person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, officials said. https://t.co/RS1IHezccy
@DBertsekas Agree. When an appropriate feature space is constructed, aggregation methods often outperform neural networks. I’ve been using this approach since the early 2000s. Your Neuro-Dynamic Programming book provides an especially insightful account on feature extraction.
@VividProwess Israel is increasingly being ostracized in international settings when it has done nothing wrong. Israelis need to stay strong and keep doing everything in their own interests.
That @MIT trains woke minds that fail to see the only genocidal entity in Gaza is Hamas is known.
But to ignore warnings & allow the class president to deliver hateful & dividing speech with no response from President Kornbluth who followed, shows the gravity of the situation!
The president that failed to recognize that calling for genocide is harassment failed once again to show moral compass & clarity!
MIT deserves a better leader!
In theory, there are various offices at Northeastern to address antisemitism. But I have found that in practice they’re all empty shells which do nothing to protect Jewish students or faculty.
Now that I’ve graduated Columbia University, it’s time to talk about the worst antisemitic attack I faced personally on campus.
I was fired from the Columbia Daily Spectator for being an Orthodox Jew. It had nothing to do with my opinions on Israel. Here’s the story🧵:
@mtracey What do you expect countries like Israel & India to do when they are constantly attacked by terrorists while at a festival or being on a honeymoon as tourists?
@VividProwess That's awful but nothing new. The Jews of Prague were not allowed to own land, lived on the city's outskirts, and still were grateful that they weren't murdered like in other places. Some races have been treated with less dignity.
I spoke to the New York Post about Qatar’s penetration of higher education as the biggest foreign donor to our universities. For those keeping score, Israel barely registers as a donor but don’t tell that to Mearsheimer and Walt. The numbers aren’t their friends. They hate data.
