- Israel has killed at least 45,000 people in Gaza, about 100 people/day on average, with absolute impunity so far. - 1.9 M people (90 %) in Gaza have been forcibly displaced. - Infrastructure in Gaza has been almost completely destroyed.

I celebrate the #ceasefiredeal because it will hopefully bring relief to Palestinians in Gaza after 15+ months of genocide. Also to Palestinian and Israeli hostages. Many people around the world have been demanding a ceasefire since day one. But let's not forget! . (1/3).

Unfortunately, I can only echo this sentiment. But my optimist self will welcome 2025 as the year in which the world might wake up.

2024 will go for me as the year where I lost faith in the last shreds of humanity and the majority of the so-called "allies". The amount of power that genocide-cheering white supremacists wield without being challenged is just. #HappyNewYear2025.

When two young American Jews see how Israel treats Palestinians, it changes their lives, exposes a generational divide.

That said, I am open to hearing fresh ideas about how you think machine learning can help make people's lives better, always keeping ethics at the core. I particularly encourage folks with interdisciplinary backgrounds.

Also, this is funny: "Orion’s unsatisfactory coding performance was due in part to the lack of sufficient coding data to train on". So software companies don't have enough coding data? If there is a kind of data that is not scarce at all is coding data!!!.
