Topdog underdog yahya5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() But the play is a more complicated and heartbreaking work. “ TOPDOG/UNDERDOG explores the multiple layers of sibling competition and intimacy - all that love wrapped in hate wrapped in love. Both a vivid, present-tense family portrait and an endlessly reverberating allegory, TOPDOG/UNDERDOG plies the fine theatrical art of deception to convey the dangers of role-playing in a society in which race is a performance and prison.”– Ben Brantley, The New York Times “TOPDOG/UNDERDOG is as exciting as any new play from a young American since Tony Kushner’s Angels in America. Her voice is both idiosyncratic and eerily familiar, one of few in the popular theatre to fully exploit the power of spoken Black English.”- Hilton Als, The New Yorker “ A writer who crosses cultural boundaries, as well as social ones, she has had her work produced everywhere, from the smallest avant-garde stages to Broadway. She is an original whose fierce intelligence, and fearless approach to craft, subvert theatrical convention and produce a mature and inimitable art that is as exciting as it is fresh. “Suzan-Lori Parks is a remarkable playwright.

The alignment problem by brian christian5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() The book starts with practical real-world problem that are happening right now. ![]() Much of it mirrors the actual technical work I'm doing in machine learning. The only possible fault I can imagine with this book is that, since it depends so heavily on cutting-edge research, it might be rendered obsolete in a decade or two. This book would be a useful read both for activists who want to better understand public policy AND for aspiring engineers who want to get up to speed with machine learning. The Alignment Problem addresses advanced technical problems while being readable to non-technical people. Thus, through gritted teeth, I reluctantly acknowledge that The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian is a fantastic book in all respects.ĭespite my best efforts, Brian Christian even taught me lots of cool things about state-of-the-art machine learning. That's because he dedicated all of Chapter 7: Imitation to the subject. Brian Christian addressed Skinnerian operant conditioning without addressing the real way we manages human groups: leading by example. In the Chapter 5: Shaping I thought I found a major mistake. I spotted (what seemed like) omission after omission only to be frustrated just a few pages later when Brian Christian addressed them. I combed through page after page for factual errors, minor misrepresentations or even just contestable opinions. ![]()

Lao zi tao te ching5/21/2023 ![]() A leader is best when people barely know that he exists. ![]() ![]() The Tao is like a well:įilled with infinite possibilities. The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds. Tao Te Ching The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao The name that can be defined is not the unchanging name (道可道,非常道;名可名,非常名). Quoted in James Legge, Texts of Taoism, 34 Quoted from Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage. Your character gains nothing for all these. Get rid of your pride and your many ambitions, your affectation and your extravagant aims. I have heard that the successful merchant carefully conceals his wealth, and acts as though he had nothing-that the great man, though abounding in achievements, is simple in his manners and appearance. When the hour of the great man has struck he rises to leadership but before his time has come he is hampered in all that he attempts. ![]()

The twisted ones kingfisher summary5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() While I've read a ton of Lovecraft and most of the Gothic classics, I mostly read fantasy and I'm a noob when it comes to more contemporary horror, so I would really appreciate some help! Thanks a lot in advance. Preferably something that hooks me quickly, although I'm not opposed to atmospheric slow-burns as long as they are compelling and don't require me to read half the book before I feel engaged in the story.įolk and cosmic horror preferred over more traditional ghost stories.įemale protagonist (and author) is a big plus, but not required. ![]() I've read some really heavy books lately and I'm enjoying some lighter reads at the moment. Tons of creepiness and mystery but also a touch of humour. Relatable protagonist moves to a new place and weird things start to happen. Kingfisher and I'm craving more stories like those, but I'm having a hard time finding anything similar. ![]()

Africa Is Not a Country by Dipo Faloyin5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries’ colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent’s struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships. In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa’s rich diversity, communities, and histories. So often, Africa has been depicted simplistically as a uniform land of famines and safaris, poverty and strife, stripped of all nuance. An exuberant, opinionated, stereotype-busting portrait of contemporary Africa in all its splendid diversity, by one of its leading new writers. ![]()

The power of your subconscious mind book5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Some people believe The Law of Attraction works, while others say it is nonsense. Just like a magnet contains an invisible power that attracts pieces of metal. Today, many of Joseph Murphy’s ideas would be known as “The Law of Attraction,” () which says that positive thoughts attract positive results into our lives, while negative thoughts attract negative results. The number one thing that makes this book unique, in my opinion, is how it blends two very different flavours: science and religion.) (If you’re wondering how prayer could be scientific, then please keep reading. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind says that we can learn how to change our hidden subconscious mind and change our life, through techniques of “scientific prayer.” And for those of us who don’t yet have everything we want, there is some good news… With the right seeds planted in their subconscious mind, those people can attract what they want effortlessly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why do some people always seem to get what they want, but other people struggle?Īccording to Joseph Murphy, the big difference is that people who thrive do not try to change their circumstances. ![]()
