Crisis in Gaza: People search for loved ones among the dead, doctors fear the worst is yet to come
Israel continues operations in Gaza in response to a Hamas attack on October 7. Over 13,000 people, including 5,600 children, have died. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with many closing due to a blockade that has led to shortages of medicine and fuel. Doctors make difficult choices, sometimes using vinegar and shampoo to disinfect wounds. The Israeli army has urged civilians to flee to the south, but even in so-called safe zones, civilians are not fully protected. The humanitarian situation is dire, with shortages of essentials and limited aid reaching Gaza. Dr. Ahmad Mograbi warns of an impending catastrophe if conditions do not improve.
Inside the Israel-Hamas Conflict and One of Its Deadliest Hours in Gaza
Zainab Al-Kolak and her family experienced their building collapsing due to Israeli airstrikes on Al-Wahda Street in Gaza, targeting underground tunnels used by Hamas. The strikes caused multiple buildings to collapse, including Ms. Al-Kolak's, leading to one of the deadliest hours in the conflict.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Random Forests
Ahmed El Deeb articulates his preference for Random Forests in machine learning, citing their ease of use, implicit feature selection, speed of training, and robustness. He appreciates their versatility across different modeling tasks and the minimal need for hyper-parameter tuning. Despite their size and black-box nature being drawbacks, El Deeb highlights the availability of excellent, open-source implementations in major ML libraries. He references foundational papers by Leo Breiman and Rich Caruana to support his points.
