נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

"Roger Studley, founder and community manager of #Berkeley #Moshav, said the idea has been in development for more than a decade. He was first introduced to the concept of #cohousing while in graduate school at #UCBerkeley, around the same time he was reconnecting with his #Jewish roots after years of distance from #Judaism.

As Studley deepened his involvement in Jewish life, he began to imagine a blending of these two ideas. The result was the formation of #BerkeleyMoshav — a community where Jewish life will be one aspect of daily living, but where people of all backgrounds are welcome, he said."

#US / Israeli Postdoc sues UC Berkeley Student Union, Alleging anti-Semitic discrimination

Karin Yaniv, an Israeli postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, has filed a federal lawsuit against her graduate student union, alleging that the union has created a hostile work environment for Israeli Jews.

Yaniv claims the union's actions, which she characterizes as anti-Semitic, violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the California state law. The complaint details numerous instances of alleged discrimination, including the union making anti-Israel statements, supporting anti-Israel protests and the #BDS movement, and marginalizing Jewish union members. Yaniv seeks a court order to stop the alleged discrimination, require anti-discrimination training, and award damages. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Yaniv is represented by the Fairness Center. #Ynet published this story today with a typical hyperbolic "culture of anti-Semitism" in the headline, forgetting to explain to their readers that the so-called "Fairness Center" is a right-wing litigation center that primarily pursues anti-union litigation. It offers free legal aid to those allegedly harmed by public employee union officials. Nothing to do with anti-Semitism, it seems, rather union-busting.

A team at UC Berkeley has trained Sky-T1-32B-Preview, a reasoning model that matches the performance of O1-Preview on popular reasoning and coding benchmarks.
What makes this even more remarkable is that the training was completed in 19 hours for less than $450 - o1's training costs could have been in the millions.
To top it off, all of the code has been released as open source!

Tessa McLean: UC Berkeley scientists make groundbreaking climate discovery

"Trees have long done the heavy lifting of sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but no matter how big the planting spree, nature won’t catch up to human impact on our warming planet. But UC Berkeley scientists recently made a discovery that could help potentially mitigate the effects of climate change, and it’s just the beginning of more work with the groundbreaking material.

The specially designed, porous yellow powder dubbed COF-999 the group created can capture carbon dioxide from the air, keeping it from being released until it can be moved underground or to a capture facility. Published this week in the journal Nature, the research details the unique substance and its potential uses to address climate change."

With $3 million gift, Berkeley prepares to build premier #Ukrainian studies program: The top-ranked Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures is undertaking a $9 million campaign to add more Ukrainian scholarship and programming.

"A surge of scholarly interest across the country in Ukrainian studies is far exceeding American universities’ capabilities, but UC Berkeley is positioning itself to fill that gap.

Ever since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Berkeley’s active community of Ukrainian students and faculty members has hosted benefit concerts, documented Russian war crimes, analyzed how Ukraine might rebuild, and welcomed dissident scholars from Russia."

"The Berkeley Mafia was the term given to a group of University of California-trained economists in Indonesia who were given technocratic positions under the Suharto dictatorship during the late 1960s... Their work focused on promoting free-market capitalism in Indonesia and reversing many of the progressive economic reforms that had been introduced by the Sukarno government."
