I'm happy to share that I will be joining Berkeley School of Public Health as an associate professor this summer.
Grateful for the opportunity and sad to leave the Berglas School of Economics at Tel Aviv University, my home for years as both student and faculty.

Sad about David Lynch. Beyond his famously great stuff, I remember really enjoying "The Intervew Project", an experimental documentary where his team traveled for weeks all over America and filmed random people they met along the way.

Gave LLM my research project code and a finished paper as a template, and asked it to draft the sample construction section based on the code. Worked really well! (A bit too detailed but I feel deleting irrelevant stuff is much easier).

This may sound odd, but game-based benchmarks are some of the most useful for AI, since we have human scores and they require reasoning, planning & vision
The hardest of all is Nethack. No AI is close, and I suspect that an AI that can fairly win/ascend would need to be AGI-ish. Paper: balrogai.com
