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.

評分觀點大多數是已經知道瞭的,大概作為科學從事者,看這種科普書就是這點無趣。在想白熊是不是計算到26歲該leap,纔跟我求婚的orz
评分適閤文科生,無編程基礎的人看。作者花瞭很大的精力請瞭一些算法如何在普通人生活中應用,對我有很多啓發。
评分上當瞭,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。
