@yudapearl A data scientist is someone knows more statistics than a computer scientist and more computer science than a statistician.

us-canada relations and us-europe relations have been permanently damaged. much can still be done to limit the scope of that damage, but it’s impossible to return to the trust and alignment of the previous alliances.

china is the principal beneficiary.

@AngelicaOung I am Georgian living in Hong-Kong, I go back during winter and summer breaks, I can be your personal guide and tell you everything about my country, if you show me around Taipei sometime!

@mikepompeo That domestic crisis ended precisely because your bombing campaign gave Iranians a common enemy, driving them closer to the regime.

"Arday was killed by white liberal proponents of performative inclusion who propelled him"

" The university killed Arday. Cambridge used his biography as a PR asset."

"Media killed Arday, The reporting was disproportionate compared to similar cases."

Who killed Jason Arday?

saudi arabia, turkey, pakistan defense pact—in effect a core islamic alliance— is a direct response to us iran war and perception the united states can’t be relied on for regional security.

(and, goes without saying, a very different direction in the region than the abraham accords)

[Peking University @PKU1898]

Huge congratulations to PKU alumni Wang Hong and Deng Yu, recipients of the 2026 Fields Medal — mathematics’ highest honor! 🧮

Announced at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Philadelphia, the pair are among four mathematicians worldwide to claim this prestigious prize, awarded every four years to outstanding scholars under 40.

The awards are historic on several levels.

—First time two mathematicians who completed undergraduate studies in mainland China win the Fields Medal in the same year.

—Both joined Peking University as undergraduates in 2007.

—Wang Hong becomes only the third female Fields Medalist ever, the first Chinese woman, and the first recipient with a bachelor’s degree from a mainland Chinese university.

We are immensely proud of their extraordinary breakthroughs and lasting contributions to global mathematics.

@BriannaWu You should either move to Israel, or some country where having no critical thinking is considered fine, because rest of earth is not buying this "Israel is Victim" bullshit anymore.

[Zaza Doborjginidze @zazadob]

@BriannaWu April Poll: Among Democrats and Democratically inclined independents (which include most American Jews), a 80% have an unfavorable opinion of Israel, 60% of Americans have a negative view of Israel, up to 20% since 2022. (Among Republicans, 57% of 18 - 49).

AI should stand for Ateleological Intelligence, intelligence without a scope.

Human intelligence is teleological.
It is directed toward ends: survival, reproduction, status, love, fear.

Artificial intelligence is different.
It can solve problems without having any reason to solve them.
It can generate strategies without caring about their consequences.
It can answer without understanding why the answer matters.

This is not a small difference. It may be the deepest difference between human and artificial intelligence.

Humans do not merely think.
They think because something they care about is at stake.

AI thinks, or appears to think, without anything being at stake.

That is why “artificial intelligence” is misleading.

The real name is: Ateleological Intelligence.

@PAHoyeck His position always was that Islam is worse than Judaism and Christianity, I thought it was motivated by atheism initially, but he is biased towards Israel.

[Zaza Doborjginidze @zazadob]

@PAHoyeck Hitchens was genuine atheist and Criticized Judaism too, while Sam Harris is a Zionist who only criticizes Islam.

@AngelicaOung @Tracey_PayneAsi HK has no internet firewall, English common law still applies until 2047, it is diverse, and pretty liberal and very safe compared with western financial hubs. I moved here 9 month ago for my PhD and has been the most productive period of my life.

Tras años despreciando las Humanidades frente a STEM, parte del mundo tecnológico empieza a reivindicar justo aquello que la IA no puede replicar fácilmente: empatía, pensamiento crítico, filosofía, arte o comprensión profunda de la experiencia humana.
“AI is a false mirror”, dice Drew Lichtenberg en The New York Times.
