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
##強烈推薦給非CS從業者：先以非常直觀的方式介紹算法，然後提升到哲學高度和你談人生。。。對於從業者來說也應該是不錯的消遣讀物
評分看之前就比較擔心是不是太trivial都是已經知道的東西，結果不幸料中。不過也好，打消瞭我寫類似書的想法
評分##37% | 關鍵在於時間，假設你還打算住很久，那就應該去積極探索新事物，冒點險是值得的 | 避免過度擬閤 1限定思考時間。比如一天小時之內必須完成報告。2限定內容長度。比如 “電梯談話” 。3在白闆上討論商業計劃，要使用粗的馬剋筆，筆畫越粗，對你的思維越有利，越能逼著你去考慮大局

評分##Have you updated your OS today yet? #wethebots
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##Have you updated your OS today yet? #wethebots
評分##某章提到瞭已經被debunk的marshmellow experiment，瞬間掉分。
評分##《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。
