“Most of the translation, especially Kafka, has been done by ME. Edwin only helped. And every time Edwin was referred to as THE translator, I was too proud to say anything; […] I am left without a shred of literary reputation”

In "When the Cattle Gun Touches Her Forehead" by Ben Serna-Grey, trillionaires get the Nobel while a father slaves on a tower to reduce atmospheric CO2 and his wife submits to in utero genetic engineering to make the baby eat plastic. Satiric treatment of eco-fascism. Strongly recommended

When Franz Kafka died at the age of 40, exactly 100 years ago, almost no one was familiar with his few published works. Today, he is one of the most revered fiction writers of the past several hundred years, a philosophical social critic who drew on his unique worldview and his Jewishness to create timeless stories and parables.

In this new course from My Jewish Learning, you will delve into the unfulfilled longings and moral dilemmas that haunt some of Kafka’s iconic texts. Leading Kafka scholar Benjamin Balint — author of “Kafka’s Last Trial,” which won the prestigious Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature in 2020 — will guide you through short stories and some of Kafka’s famous aphorisms, analyzing how the famed novelist navigated guilt, desire and the law.

Register: my-jewish-learning.teachable.c

Kafka Unveiled: Guilt, Desire and the Law Mondays at 5 p.m. ET, Dec. 2 - 23 "By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it." That's a quote from Franz Kafka, whose creations remain as relevant as ever, exactly 100 years after his death. Now's your chance to study some of Kafka's masterpieces with Benjamin Balint, author of "Kafka's Last Trial," which won the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. Over the course of four hour-long online classes, Balint will guide you through some of Kafka's short stories and famous aphorisms, analyzing how the famed novelist navigated guilt, desire and the law. So dive into the Kafka-esque universe this winter through this offering from My Jewish Learning!

One of the surprising things we found during this collaboration was that the #Kafka transaction protocol assumes messages are delivered in order, but allows those messages to be delivered to different nodes over different TCP connections. This means that a client's commit or abort message could be applied to a completely different transaction, or even in the *middle* of a transaction.

Praga vieta i tour organizzati nei pub: «Più Kafka, meno birra (e turisti ubriachi)»

Il Comune vuole turisti più acculturati e dice basta ai «pub crawl» organizzati (dalle 22 alle 6 del mattino). Ma la mossa fa discutere

Translated:
Prague prohibits tours organized in pubs: "More Kafka, less beer (and drunk tourists)"

The municipality wants more cultured tourists and says no to organized "pub crawls" (from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.). However, the move is causing debate.

Abdication of our #human responsibility is the greatest danger of #AI, in all its forms, past, current, and future.

The technology should always be considered and used as #tool wielded by people with rigorous #oversight and limited power.

That won't happen, and we will absolutely live in a world where critical decisions directly and indirectly affecting all but the #elite will be #automated.

Not only were #Huxley, #Orwell, and others prescient, so too was #Kafka.

A #surreal new world dawns.
