Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAi, the company responsible for the artificial intelligence software, ChatGPT, revealed this week that courteous, polite behavior with chatbots, such as saying "please" and "thank you" costs millions of dollars in electricity and unnecessary computing activity.According to Altman, such politeness leads to a "global waste" that contributes to a tangible environmental impact.Saying "please" or "thank you" may seem trivial, but it requires the system to interpret, process, and craft a full response, sometimes for long, complex texts. Every such interaction consumes electricity and costly computing time in advances data centers. Reports indicate that these centers…
British Jewish groups have expressed outrage at a Saturday pro-Palestine march that took place near a small London Jewish community during Passover.The 'Essex March for Palestine' passed through the streets of Westcliff, near Southend in Essex, chanting “stop killing children” while Jewish families walked home from synagogue after Shabbat prayers, according to The Telegraph.One of main groups involved was Chelmsford for Palestine, which, according to the Jewish Chronicle, split from Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) earlier this year. “Even by the standards of the past 18 months, the march in Southend was despicable," said Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA).

Butterflies typically flit alongside flowers. Some might even say they resemble flying flowers. Butterflies possess petal-like wings. They are very colorful, like flowers, and they can be found, most of the time, in the presence of flowers.In some cases, they mimic the shape and the color of a particular flower, to the point that you can only distinguish between the butterfly and the flower when it takes off in the air. If there is a good time to go out and look for butterflies, now is the time.Springtime brings blossoms to Israel, and these attract butterflies. One of the…
In my previous column (Feb. 21), I wrote about the impact of the virtual world and the strain it puts on maintaining human relationships. In this article, I want to focus on younger children and teens’ relation to the cyber world.How much time do kids spend on their cyber devices?

The father of a US-Israeli hostage held in Gaza said on Saturday he remains hopeful his 21-year-old son was still alive after Hamas said it could not account for his status.Adi Alexander, whose son Edan was serving in the Israeli army when he was captured by terrorists on October 7, 2023, called on the United States to engage in direct talks to free the remaining hostages – dead and alive – abducted during the deadly attack launched by Hamas two years ago in southern Israel."I think we should engage back with them directly and see what can be done…

I know Passover is coming when Rosalyn, my wife, announces, on Purim, “No matzah until the Seder.” Although I’ll miss my matzah pizza for 30 days, her announcement sets in motion another awareness, that of the approaching yahrzeit of our daughter Alisa, who was murdered in a terror attack five days before Passover in 1995.Thirty years is a long time, but as anyone who has lost a child can tell you, a parent feels the child’s death as if it were yesterday. I vividly recall the telephone call we received telling us that Alisa and her traveling companions had been…
