🔴GAZA UPDATE
In the past 24 hrs, hospitals have been under relentless bombardment. Al-Shifa hospital has been hit multiple times. Our teams & patients are still inside.
Again, we urgently call to STOP ATTACKS on hospitals & for an immediate CEASEFIRE⤵️msf.org/gaza-patients-and-me…
I condemn all violence and will not stand by while Palestinian and Israeli civilians pay the price for political failure. Please sign Oxfam's petition and make your voice heard. oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/ca…

“Israel’s 24-hour notice that people in Northern Gaza must leave their land, homes and hospitals is outrageous – this represents an attack on medical care and on humanity.
We have consistently seen dehumanising language and this violence is a manifestation of that.

🔴BREAKING:
Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.
We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.
We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

And there you have it, Oppenheimer has a VFX crew of 27 people from @dneg (including the overall VFX Sup). It looks like it’s only compositing and no CG. Congratulations to the team. The film looks amazing. Won’t spoil or review it now. I will wait a bit longer to do that.

A: no simulation at all. Given any match outcome model, tournament winning probabilities can be computed exactly - and in the time of fewer than 500 simulation runs. (2/4)

While the preprint is being polished, here are the results for a simple model based on the @FIFAcom World Ranking.
Joint work with Gordana Marmulla and @ivanasmokovic. All hoping for a different outcome. (4/4).

The key observation is that team trajectories are dependent only after mixing. Single team trajectories can therefore be computed from joint probabilities of pairs of teams advancing together. (3/4)
Q: How many simulation runs to approximate winning probabilities for #FIFAWWC ? 10,000 ? 100,000 ?

Bob Iger is completely out of touch if he thinks the unions are the ones being unrealistic here.

I feel so sorry for everyone involved in this: for the Edwards family, for the complainants, and for Huw himself. No criminal offences were committed, so it’s a purely personal tragedy for everyone involved. Let’s hope the press leave them all alone now.
When Murdoch machine goes after BBC. 🤮 British press is a pariah of civilised world. 👿
