The young whites, and blacks, too, are the only hope that America has, the rest of us have always been living in a lie.
-- Malcolm X

THERSITES: That same Diomed's a false-hearted rogue, a most unjust knave; I will no more trust him when he leers than I will a serpent when he hisses. He will spend his mouth, and promise, like Brabbler the hound; but when he performs, astronomers foretell it: it is prodigious, there will come some change; the sun borrows of the moon, when Diomed keeps his word.
— Troilus and Cressida, V, i
THIS, from Svetlana Boym's The Off-Modern, on an Anri Sala film's "longing... for that slow time of one's East European childhood that allowed for a long duration of dreams escaping into landscapes without propaganda and advertisements, those missing landscapes that haven't been curated yet."
"Mathematical discoveries – small or large, and whatever their content [...], are never born of spontaneous generation. They always presuppose a ground sown with prior knowledge, and well prepared [...]" – Théodore Flournoy (1854-1920)

Unity is the great goal toward which humanity moves irresistibly.
-- Mikhail Bakunin
Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience, then?
-- Henry David Thoreau
“You see, I'm treated with more respect by the enemy than I am by my own family.”
“They don't know you as well as we do.”

Quoting Andrej Karpathy:
"I always struggle a bit with I'm asked about the "hallucination problem" in LLMs. Because, in some sense, hallucination is all LLMs do. They are dream machines.
We direct their dreams with prompts. The prompts start the dream, and based on the LLM's hazy recollection of its training documents, most of the time the result goes someplace useful."
Everything is on fire,
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living,
and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.
– Nikita Gill
Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

People seem good while they are oppressed, but they only wish to become oppressors in their turn: life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.
-- Bertrand Russell
Happy Hanukkah 🕯️
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It lasts for 8 days, and varies in date according to the Hebrew calendar. 2023 is Dec 7th–15th.
Observances include eating traditional food, singing seasonal songs, reciting prayer, and lighting a nine-branched candelabrum called a menorah. A candle is lit each night, and each candle carries a different meaning.

Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or socialism, means the reorganization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime. Capitalism first produces these social diseases and then seeks to cure them by punishment.
-- August Spies
Back down? No. Not even when -- at the end of the road -- with no means of escape, I find myself against the wall of death.
-- Severino Di Giovanni
A very good #quote from #굿닥터 #GoodDoctor.
I am still a little different from other people.
I speak and act a little differently.
So I tried very, very hard to eliminate the differences, but I couldn't do it.
The more I tried, the more it hurt.
So I thought I'd always be different until the day I die.
But many nice people filled in the gap for me.
And that is how I am standing before you today.
Thank you for filling in the gap.
Thank you for not avoiding me.
And thank you very, very much for your love.
~ 박시온 (Park Shi On), 「굿 닥터」 (「Good Doctor」).

In a republic, all are lords, that is, all despotize one over another.

The critical human flaw is not that as a species we're particularly aggressive. It's that we tend to respond to aggression very poorly.

-- Gregori Maximoff
True organisation like true liberty belongs to the future -- and the Socialist Commonwealth, or, as I have termed it elsewhere, the Anarchist Republic.

Others invent more or less complicated system of mutuality. But in the long run it is always the searching for a more secure guarantee of freedom which is the common factor among anarchists, and which divides them into different schools.
-- Errico Malatesta
The reaction always begins where one tries to bring life to a certain norm. That is why yesterday's revolutionaries so often become today's reactionaries.
-- Rudolf Rocker
We cannot help but believe that were every law, every title deed, every court, and every police officer or soldier abolished tomorrow with one sweep, we would be better off than now.

In the dance of life, we are sometimes given a partner with whom to go through it, step by step, holding one another close, determined to be with one another when the music is playing, and when it is not.

The state, therefore, is the most flagrant, the most cynical, and the most complete negation of humanity.
-- Mikhail Bakunin
We cannot pretend that we do not see the policeman who walks in front of the windows with a loaded revolver, defending us, while we eat our savory dinner or view a new performance, or those soldiers who will immediately go with their guns and loaded cartridges to where our property will be violated.
-- Leo Tolstoy

Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.

We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter
Alone, without any reference to his neighbours, without any interference, the artist can fashion a beautiful thing; and if he does not do it solely for his own pleasure, he is not an artist at all.
-- Oscar Wilde
"It is quite true what #philosophy says, that #life must be understood backwards; a thesis which, the more we reflect on it, leads precisely to the conclusion that life in the temporal world never becomes properly understandable, for the very reason that at no moment of time can I find the perfect repose to take up the backward position."
- Soren #Kierkegaard, as quoted in A Karkegaard Handbook (1979) by Frederick #Sontag, pg. 12

Help me out real quick please: I think there’s a #quote by a famous programmer (Carmack maybe? I think it was about game code), basically saying that you shouldn’t over-generalize code, or make it too generic too early.
I found Knuth’s “premature optimization is the root of all evil”, but the quote I’m looking for is not about optimization (as in, making it faster or more efficient), but about adding features.
Yes, this is closely related to #YAGNI.
What’s the quote?
@whalecoiner Note though that he supposedly said this in the context of economic reform, not about fighting climate change.
Courage, devotion, the spirit of sacrifice, are as contagious as cowardice, submission, and panic.
-- Peter Kropotkin

"The modern university confers the privilege of dissent on those who have been tested and classified as potential money-makers or power-holders. No one is given tax funds for the leisure in which to educate himself or the right to educate others unless at the same time he can also be certified for achievement. Schools select for each successive level those who have, at earlier stages in the game, proved themselves good risks for the established order. Having a monopoly on both the resources for learning and the investiture of social roles, the university coopts the discoverer and the potential dissenter. A degree always leaves its indelible price tag on the curriculum of its consumer. Certified college graduates fit only into a world which puts a price tag on their heads, thereby giving them the power to define the level of expectations in their society. In each country the amount of consumption by the college graduate sets the standard for all others; if they would be civilized people on or off the job, they will aspire to the style of life of college graduates." — Ivan Illich (Deschooling Society)

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie
"All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."

"The Real Self is dangerous: dangerous to the established church, dangerous to the state, dangerous to the crowd, dangerous to tradition, because once a man knows his real self, he becomes an individual."
