CNRS researcher in linear programming
Big shout-out to all the software devs who were willing to speak with us. This project could not have happened without both the open-source and commercial solver's support, and Laurent Poirrier of Bocconi University

Gurobi published their 2025 State of Mathematical Optimization report. Always a nice read!

GHF brags about delivering 1.3M meals per day. Mathematicians have a moral responsibility to speak out about the fact that 1.3M <<< 6.6M

This story of the discovery of Alison Doig the person is wild

"I have been working on this topic for more than 4 decades. There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled"

omg thats such bullshit >:(

i recently had a fight about political ideology in an article i wrote. there, i got a lot of mileage out of pretending i didnt understand what they meant

for example, i'd say that the marked words were political (oopsie! my b!) but the rest are politically neutral facts

The footage is rather upsetting

Numbers and data remain a big part of the propaganda, but anyone should recognize that the numbers aren't good. 58 million meals over 5 weeks makes less than 0.8 meal per day per person

Besides being a tool of forced displacement, it's also 4x too little food to avoid malnutrition

That's it for this #EuroMIP25. Thanks everyone for making this workshop a success

Alex Lassota is speaking about FPT algorithms for MIP with these awesome fun and clear slides #EuroMIP25

The second session dives into technical work. Johannes Thürauf speaks on applications to robust adjustable network design with both theoretical and computational work #EuroMIP25

Nadia Brauner gave an inspiring lecture where she spoke about OR researchers ethical responsibilities, in context of two programs she worked on in her local area #EuroMIP25

People are spreading serious misinformation about this image, based on false beliefs about the accuracy and meaning of the numbers.

Israel has deleted data from their aid portal. Up to last May, they reported whose aid was permitted to enter. Today, this data is no longer visible

The IDF keeps publishing numbers about how much aid is coming in, but it won't say how much of that is destined for their GHF death trap

Someone who is good at facility location, help me understand what is being optimized here?
June 16, 2025 at 10:20 AM
New data dropped! Since March 2nd, 32k tons of aid entered the Strip.

That's less than 5kg per person per month

In the most optimistic calculation, 350 trucks per week means an average of 830 grams per person per day. Not all of that is food

The numbers don't lie: this is continued and deliberate starvation
June 11, 2025 at 7:45 AM
2007: 530 trucks per week for 1,4M people

2025: 579 trucks per week for 2,1M people, but only 5% of farmland is still usable

Israel's pattern of starving civilians is indefensible
June 2, 2025 at 7:44 AM
The average number of trucks is not increasing. Recall that even COGAT's own calculations show that this is insufficient aid

In 1965, Paula Harris would find algorithmic improvements that made LP solving 50% less expensive. She was a senior mathematician in the computing group at British Petroleum

Today, 60 years later, her former colleagues still speak in awe of her intelligence
