My family lives in Iran. I have more stakes in this war than all of those Western keyboard warriors and keffiyeh Karens. I can wake up tomorrow and not have a mom. Still, that's not the reason I'm not okay. I know war is scary and it endangers everyone, but nothing is more…
Very well said…
Receiving the Turing Award, Andrew Barto thanks the federal government (especially @AFOSR) for supporting work on reinforcement learning before it was popular, and says without it “none of this would have ever happened”. RL is now at the heart of training/finetuning LLMs,…
Today should have been a happy day. I finally got my PhD from @MIT, with my 5-year-old twins, my 2-year-old and my parents (children of Holocaust survivors) traveling halfway around the world just to be there. Instead, MIT’s student commencement speaker decided it was…
I was there today. Instead of celebrating my PhD, I had to explain to my 5 year olds why people hate us for no reason
Great news for California students and for preserving the effectiveness of our public universities! Thank you Jelani for this important work and for being the voice of integrity and reason! This travesty would have continued without you.
Great news: AB 1217 was held today by appropriations and will not move to the assembly floor. It's dead for the year.
Ditto, and thank you Garry and Jelani for standing up for CA students, CA economy, and a better future!
We need to legalize math in California Today the anti-math education bureaucrats are trying to force the UC system to water down math standards to accept fake data science courses that don’t teach algebra We interviewed @minilek, CS division chair @ Berkeley to get the low down

Harvard has betrayed both its mission and its students. Tax-exempt institutions receiving public funds have no business legitimizing bigotry. Perhaps it’s time for Harvard departments genuinely committed to advancing knowledge to divest from those who distort it to excuse hate.
🚨 BREAKING: Harvard Just Released its Final Report on Antisemitism and Anti-Israel Bias. It’s 300+ pages and pretty devastating to read. I thought I knew what was going on at Harvard, but even I wasn't prepared for this. Let's break down the most shocking parts🧵 1/
Very well said. Sometimes this minority is unfortunately the majority of faculty in a certain departments and the activism (very biased narratives) is in the content taught. This should not be happening in public universities funded by tax payer money. hoover.org/research/hamas…
No university I am aware of is devoted to partisan activism. But it’s time that university leaders stop letting “the tail wag the dog” and allow a minority of faculty that put activism ahead of scholarship to taint the whole institution. This minority is even tinier if you…
The "Ethnic Studies" debate in CA is tearing communities such as @PaloAltoUnified apart. People agree on the need to teach inclusion and respect, but the actual curriculum got hijacked by extremists. See also the student newspaper editorial thecampanile.org/31376/showcase…
One of the most compelling testimonies during this week's California Forum on Ethnic Studies in Public Schools was a student from Palo Alto Unified School District named Karthi. Listen to his testimony as Karthi explains how the debate around Ethnic Studies has torn the Palo…
It's possible for angry parents to unseat every council member and flip the tables in Palo Alto. There is no reason why the citizens of Palo Alto should tolerate nonstop virtue signal and watering down of their educations.

Science is the engine behind American prosperity. Government funded research led to many of the breakthroughs we use today in AI. AI may well supercharge scientific productivity and the way to take advantage of it is to increase investment in scientific research. Unfortunately…
Please note that @SimonsInstitute is hosting the 8th Women in Theory (WIT) Workshop from June 3 to June 6, 2025. The application deadline is Jan 31. For more information, visit womenintheory.wordpress.com.
Background: Our local school district, Palo Alto Unified, just walked back on its problematic, divisive, and disfactual, planned ES course. Strange situation at state level. Yes it was antisemitic but this was not even the main problem.
Here comes the predictable narrative that ES was blocked by "the Jews". Spend 2 more hours to do your research. MANY of us are against this, and many of us spoke out. No offense to any Jewish parents. Yes, the ES agenda from PAUSD was antisemitic, and the Jewish community was…
Finally! The Palo Alto voters had enough! Sounds unbelievable unless you saw it: For over a decade, the Palo Alto school board majority pushed anti math policies and promoted conspiracies that math achievement harms empathy and wellness.
We are legalizing math everywhere in California Fund and support achievement and advanced math in public schools. The sane pro-math and pro-acceleration school board candidates won in Palo Alto! padailypost.com/2024/11/05/jar…
Excellent!!! A very important move in addressing the trend of “pretend education” that took over the CA K-12 schools. A trend that particularly harms students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The University of California Office of the President just emailed high schools across CA with an update on high school math and the role it plays in UC/CSU admissions. Email to counselors: mailchi.mp/ucop/uc-counse… Full report: senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/committ… Some highlights .. 🧵 1/
