Ia Richards Quotes

Poetry is capable of saving us.

A book is a machine to think with.

I…a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.

Îl implora întruna pe Dumnezeu:“Te rog, te rog, deschide-mi inima”. Asta era tot ce-şi dorea: o inima deschisa.(…)După câteva luni de rugă continuă pentru o inimă deschisă, ce credeţi că a primit Richard? (…)o operaţie de urgenţă pe cord deschis. Pieptul i-a fost tăiat în două, coastele i-au fost depărtate unele de altele şi au lăsat lumina să-i intre în inimă la propriu(…).

This essay is intended to serve as a reminder that immense and threatening divisions in mankind can spring from differences between virtues as well as from envies and greeds. When the virtues on each part are largely inapprehensible by the other, the danger is heightened by Man's natural fear of what he does not understand, and his inclination to suppose it not worth understanding. To attack it easier than to study. There are also, in this case of China and the West, intense and complex cultural vanities on both sides to be taken into account: vanities largely inexplicable the one to the other...

Domnule sublocotenent, unul dintre strămoşii mei din secolul al XVII-lea a fost rabin. Biografii lui relatează cum, întâlnind un ateu, el i-a zis: "Te invidiez, dragă frate! Viaţa dumitale spirituală este, probabil, mai tare decât a mea. Eu, când văd un om în necaz, spun adesea: "Dumnezeu să-l ajute" şi trec mai departe. Dar dumneata nu crezi în Dumnezeu, aşa încât trebuie să-ţi asumi toate sarcinile lui Dumnezeu şi să-i ajuţi pe toţi.

['A]lamgir [Aurangzeb] came to formulate a very different model of sovereignty for himself and for the empire he ruled. In this new dispensation, the kingdom would be governed not by a charismatic, semi-divine king, but by a impersonal law -- namely, the 'shar'ia' of Hanafi Sufis -- administered by a reconstituted and vastly empowered judiciary guided by a reformed, thoroughly codified legal style. [...] In the courts of local judges in Gujarat, Hindu artisans, merchants and Brahmins commonly invoked the 'shar'ia' in transactions pertaining to buying, selling, renting and mortgaging property, or in pursuing litigation in law courts. Hindu women in particular used Islamic law in their attempts to resist patriarchal domination. The same held true further north. In the Punjabi town of Batala, writes the historian J. S. Grewal, 'the brahmin, the Khatri, the goldsmith and the Hindu carpenter frequented the qazi's court as much as the sayyid and the Muslim mason'. And in Malwa, the vast majority of attesters in court documents, excepting those dealing with Muslim marriages, were non-Muslims. While acknowledging religious difference, moreover, such courts did not draw legal boundaries around India's ethnic or religious communities. Significantly, the word 'shari'a' as used in local courts was not understood as applying to Muslims only, as it is today. Rather it carried the ordinary and non-sectarian meaning of 'legal'. Until the 1770s, when East India Company officials codified separate legal systems for Muslims and Hindus, Islamic law as it was administered in Mughal courts had functioned as common law. 'Alamgir's project of basing Mughal governance and sovereignty on a standardized codification of that law therefore built upon legal practices that, even though applied differently across the empire, were already in place in the Indian countryside.

To see life through mystic eyes and find joy in our immediate surroundings, we must awaken to the unfathomable mystery of it all. If we are scientifically-inclined, we can facilitate this awakening by contemplating the staggering complexity of life and appreciating how each living thing is a world in and of itself and simultaneously an infinitesimal part of a much greater whole. “I…a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.” Richard Feynman, The Value of Science

Colocar los datos y la IA en el núcleo de una organización exige prestar más atención a la seguridad de los datos de los clientes, por motivos de cumplimiento legal, pero también para establecer y mantener su confianza.

1. Estar cegado por la tecnología. Las nuevas tecnologías, como big data e IA, son muy atractivas, sobre todo para los más tecnológicos. Cuando se inicia un proyecto basado en datos, inevitablemente ellos se sienten atraídos por este y lo primero en lo que piensan es en la plataforma de big data o en el algoritmo de IA que hay que utilizar: cuanto más sofisticado, mejor. Sin embargo, esto es como construir una casa empezando por el tejado. Para comenzar, resulta fundamental tener claros los problemas del negocio que hay que resolver, identificar los datos relevantes a los que hay que recurrir para buscar la solución y asegurarse de que son de suficiente calidad.
