Beschreibung

A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.In this dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show us how the simple, precise algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. Modern life is 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? The authors 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 human memory, Algorithms To Live By is full of practical takeaways to help you solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind.

as a computer science major in university, i really loved this one. before reading, i hoped this book would not only touch the surface of the topics, but rather explains them in a more hands-on way. and i got lucky, to me personally it was the perfect mix of learning something new, knowing about the historical side of computer science as well as great examples that empathised how profound and important those algorithms actually are. i wish my uni professors would be at least half as good at explaining basic concepts of computer science.

Menschlicher als der Titel glauben lässt

Die Autoren zeigen wundervoll geschrieben, wie viele Parallelen es zwischen alltägliche Probleme und Problem gibt, die bahnbrechenden Algorithmen versuchen zu lösen. Algorithmen funktionieren viel menschlicher, als man glaubt. Es gilt: Annäherungen sind okay und oft gibt es keine klare Antwort. Ein menschlicher Twist in der Welt der Computer und Zahlen.
