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.

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《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。

評分白話版的計算機算法課程
評分其實到不瞭 live by 的程度,但是我仍然覺得這本書用對瞭倍鏡。它離生活智慧和書本算法都足夠遠,站在瞭中間點。你當然不能得到什麼中彩票的秘訣,也沒看到常青藤級彆的計算機課程。雖然目錄看上去越來越像教科書,但讀者能得到的是一種生活觀:生活並不凡庸,尋常瑣事皆有解。“But this doesn’t mean that bad equilibria can’t be fixed. It just means that the solution is going to have to come from somewhere else.” 在坐地抱怨哭鬧前,先持續得找解方案,一直找下去也比就此認定一切都是雞毛和傻逼然後走上如何精緻得撒謊撕逼再裝作毫不在乎強。
全书是算法入门,从生活中的各种问题说起:租房、谈恋爱、老虎机、拍电影、面试、买彩票、各种排序、找停车位、寻找新药、临床试验、奥巴马拉赞助、预估电影票房,讲数学家对这些问题的解决办法(也就是算法),一般从算法的由来开始说起,到现在的实际应用情况,还有各种变化...
評分很久以前就知道这本书了,不过看着"算法"两字实在没兴趣。直到某天翻Google Talks, 发现作者的讲座很受欢迎,看了看才发现确实很有意思 放在国内的语境下,这本书叫"心智模型",或model thinker可能好一点 介绍里写 "A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer ...
評分秘书问题”:想象你在面试一秘书,你希望能在应聘者里找到最好的人,但你并不知道怎样的人会来应聘,所以你一个个人轮流面试。你可以随时发offer,但你如果在面试后没有马上给对方offer,他就从此离开去其他地方工作了。你怎么才能知道眼前这个应聘者是最好的呢? 万能的计算机...
評分终于读完了,有些失望。 开始的时候还挺有趣的,摆了一个应用题,让你考虑。有一些有趣的计算机方面的问题与算法。但是算法是无穷无尽的,作者们似乎一直在掉书袋,给了引文参考,一些历史的注记,但是导致书的脉络支离破碎。想象一下,这本书的难度比维基百科还低,但是想要覆...
評分一、停车场和麦田 此刻你正在电影院的地下停车场,身边坐着你今天的约会对象。你想把车停得尽量靠近电梯间,但那里的好车位可能已经被别的车占了。这时约会对象示意你旁边就有一个空车位,这里离电梯已经不算远了,但也不太近。你应该停这儿么?还是应该继续往前开?选择前者,...
