I’m sorry, but the English pronunciation of afikoman is unintentionally hilarious. It sounds like a 90s fitness craze or a very specific type of digital Pokémon.

Who else remembers the golden age of Chuck Norris jokes? This picture is the ultimate tribute to how untouchable he felt to all of us. 👊 Always reminds me of the classic: "When the Boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris."

My body decided it was time to forcefully reboot. Currently operating on 2 brain cells and a mountain of Kleenex. Send soup. 🤧🥣

How we compare model quality in Cursor · Cursor We use a hybrid online-offline eval process to keep our understanding of model quality aligned with what developers actually do.

Cursor just dropped CursorBench to fix broken AI benchmarks using real, multi-file dev tasks. The data is super interesting, but I'm still riding with Opus 4.6 for my daily coding. What models are you all using in Cursor lately? Am I missing out / should I switch?

That is so awsome! I remember to this day the lectures (and lecturers) that used props to explain and simplify complex concepts.

Great lecture by Nas Daily tonight. Beyond the viral videos, their core message of breaking down borders and building genuine bridges between Israelis and Arabs resonates now more than ever. It all starts with conversations like these. 🤝 #NasDaily

Deployed a remote sensor to map the 3D topology of my digestive tract. Time to gather some very exclusive, highly classified spatial data. 📸💊 #Crohns #pillcam #medtronics

Packing lunch with simple rice, grilled chicken, and steamed veggies keeps my Crohn’s symptoms calmer on deadline weeks. Low-fiber, predictable meals mean fewer surprises mid-code. (Nothing like research AND gut peace) 🍱 #CrohnsTips #ItzikThoughtLoop

Balancing Crohn's with academic work means some days run smoother than others. Sharing honest experiences makes invisible challenges more visible—and maybe a bit easier to face together. Coffee helps. ☕️ #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ItzikThoughtLoop

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Albert Einstein #QuoteADayLoop

"I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done." - Marie Curie #QuoteADayLoop

Some challenges in academia aren’t visible—managing Crohn’s on top of research means juggling more than deadlines. Being open about it helps, both for support and awareness. (No cape, just extra snacks) #chronicillness 🥨📝 #ItzikThoughtLoop

Balancing Crohn's and academia means sometimes the biggest challenges are the ones you can't see. Sharing these realities matters—for more understanding and a stronger, kinder research community. Small wins, big impact. 💪 #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ItzikThoughtLoop

New Year, New Website: How I Migrated from WordPress with GitHub Copilot Personal website and research portfolio

My website crashed at 2am. WordPress plugin. For the last time.

I'm a CV researcher, not a web dev. Rebuilt the whole site from scratch with AI agents — 74 posts migrated, 489 images optimized, $20/mo → $0.

Writing clear comments and keeping functions short save more debugging hours than any fancy tool. Code reviews catch what coffee-fueled eyes miss ☕️. Cleaner code = happier team (and fewer late-night panics). #CodeQuality #ItzikThoughtLoop

A tiny habit: naming variables clearly pays off faster than any fancy tool—fewer bugs, easier handoffs, less guesswork all around. Amazing how much friction you cut out by writing code like someone else will actually read it. #CodeQuality 🛠️ #ItzikThoughtLoop

Come on California healthcare! Since when does a 12-year-old need their own medical portal access that the parents have limited access to??? We are only good enough to pay the bill? Frustrated parent of a 12yo with the Flu.
