具體描述
A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind
All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.
In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of memory, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.
用戶評價
##《指導生活的算法》 生活中的很多復雜決策，看上去沒有規律可循，實際上是可以用算法來解決的。e.g.找對象用到的37%法則 很多時候我們會沉迷在細節裏，看不清大方嚮，其實是犯瞭數學上的過度擬閤錯誤。 時間問題本質上是個數學問題，用數學傢的辦法管理時間，纔能活得更有效率。
評分##某章提到瞭已經被debunk的marshmellow experiment，瞬間掉分。
評分##Have you updated your OS today yet? #wethebots
評分##關於算法的理性與感性，比如博弈論結尾這段兒："The road to hell is paved with intractable recursions, bad equilibria, and information cascades, seek out games where honesty is the dominant strategy, then just be yourself."
評分##數學傢教做人
評分##算法入門，不錯的科普書和科學自救手冊
評分##"A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind"，確實如此，希望我本科時就讀過 (不過16年纔齣來呀...)
評分##上當瞭，騙子東抄西湊攢的垃圾，懷疑丫用搜索引擎寫的，看作者努力過，兩星夠瞭。
