@KarenLiesens Geniet ervan!!

Salut en de kost!

@KarenLiesens Wat een knap koppeltje 😘❤️. Gelukkige verjaardag aan de fiere Opa/Peter!

Mijn beste vriend, de meest hulpvaardige peter en de liefste opa viert vandaag zijn 90e verjaardag 🥳

The EPC is delighted to welcome Mr Roland Flommer as the new Chair of the Dispute Resolution Committee from 1 April 2026. We also thank outgoing Chair Ms Barbara Hadfield for her thirteen years of dedicated service and strong leadership. Read more: europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/news-insights/…

The paper "Security Framework for Quantum Distance-Bounding" (Kevin Bogner, Aysajan Abidin, Dave Singelee, Bart Preneel) is accepted in the journal Quantum Information Processing. The preprint version is available on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2604.16071 #quantum

@KarenLiesens Proficiat!! Geniet van een fijje after-avond 😘👍

Vierde wedstrijd dit jaar en vierde PR. Had desalniettemin gehoopt en gewerkt voor een betere tijd maar mentaal is het vat wat af. Die reis naar Indonesië weldra gaat niets te vroeg komen.

@KrystinaSferlaz Da’s maar voor 1 week of zo? 😳😳

Italiaans noodpakket:

An MIT professor taught the same math course for 62 years, and the day he retired, students from every country on earth showed up online to watch him give his final lecture. I opened the playlist at 2am and ended up watching three of them back to back. His name is Gilbert Strang. The course is MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra. Every machine learning engineer, every data scientist, every quant, every self-taught programmer who actually understands how AI works learned the math from this one man. Most of them never set foot on MIT's campus. They just opened a free playlist on YouTube and let him teach. Here's the story almost nobody tells you. Strang joined the MIT math faculty in 1962. He retired in 2023. That is 61 years of standing at the same chalkboard teaching the same subject to 18-year-olds. The interesting part is what he did when MIT launched OpenCourseWare in 2002. Most professors were skeptical. They worried that putting their lectures online would make their classrooms irrelevant. Strang did not hesitate. He said his life's mission was to open mathematics to students everywhere. He filmed every lecture and gave it away. The decision quietly changed how the world learns math. For decades linear algebra was taught the wrong way. Professors started with abstract vector spaces and proofs about field axioms. Students drowned in the abstraction. Most never recovered. They walked out believing they were bad at math when they had simply been taught in an order that nobody's brain is built to absorb. Strang inverted the entire curriculum. He started with matrix multiplication. Something you can write down on paper. Something you can compute by hand. Something you can see. Then he showed his students that everything else in linear algebra eigenvectors, singular value decomposition, orthogonality, the four fundamental subspaces was just a different lens for understanding what the matrix was actually doing under the hood. His rule was strict. If a student could not explain a concept using a concrete 3 by 3 example, that student did not actually understand the concept yet. The abstraction was supposed to come last, not first. The intuition was the foundation. The proofs were just confirmation that the intuition was correct. The second thing Strang changed was the classroom itself. He said please and thank you to his students. Every single lecture. He paused mid-derivation to ask "am I OK?" to check if anyone was lost. He never used the word "obviously" or "trivially" because he knew exactly what those words do to a student who is one step behind. He treated 19-year-olds learning math for the first time the way he treated his own colleagues. With patience. With respect. With the assumption that they belonged in the room. For 62 years. The result is something that has never happened in the history of education. A single math professor became the default teacher of his subject for the entire planet. Universities in India, China, Brazil, Nigeria, every country with a computer science department, started telling their own students to just watch Strang's lectures. The University of Illinois revised its linear algebra course to do almost no in-person lecturing. The reason was honest. The professor said they could not compete with the videos. His final lecture was in May 2023. The auditorium was packed with students who had never met him before. He walked to the chalkboard, taught for an hour, and at the end the entire room stood and applauded. He looked confused for a moment, like he genuinely did not understand why they were cheering. Then he smiled and waved them off and walked out. His written comment under the YouTube video of that final lecture was four sentences long. He said teaching had been a wonderful life. He said he was grateful to everyone who saw the importance of linear algebra. He said the movement of teaching it well would continue because it was right. That was it. No book promotion. No farewell speech. No legacy management. The man whose teaching is the foundation of modern AI just thanked the audience and went home. 20 million views. Zero ego. The entire engine of the AI revolution sits on top of math that millions of people learned for free from one quiet professor in Cambridge. The course is still on MIT OpenCourseWare. Every lecture, every problem set, every exam, every solution. Free. The most important math course of the 21st century is sitting one click away from you. Most people will never open it.

@KarenLiesens @Karl_Drabbe @JoostVF back to the future made in Belgium 😅

Rarara, waar gaan @Karl_Drabbe @JoostVF en ik naartoe? 😆

@bouwspiegel knap! Geniet er samen van!

Ze waren erbij 50 jaar geleden. Ze waren erbij vandaag. 😘

@KrystinaSferlaz Bij leven en welzijn… de liftselfie is terug 👍

Daar zijn de liftselfies weer. 🥰

@KarenLiesens Die zagen er heel lekker uit en het gezelschap ook…

Na twee dagen ziek in bed gestoken te hebben, was het fijn vandaag terug buiten te komen. Mijn jaarlijkse portie asperges zijn verorberd.

@VCabuy @JustJordank geniet ervan!

Zonder pardon...in de zon op mijn balkon! ☀️ Of beter, in mijn sas op het terras 🌞 Is potdorie de 1ste x dat ik wat Vit. D ga scoren 🌝 Compleet met één van mijn vele Flair-zonnebrillen 😎 @JustJordank

@Celinevdc @KAAGent Veel moed…

Ondertussen bij de match van @KAAGent Gaan we weer PO1 zoals vorig jaar spelen? 🙃

@Celinevdc @BashirAbdi7 @KoenNaert @ThomasDeBock2 Volgend jaar opnieuw?
