具体描述
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.
用户评价
##强烈推荐给非CS从业者：先以非常直观的方式介绍算法，然后提升到哲学高度和你谈人生。。。对于从业者来说也应该是不错的消遣读物
评分##算法入门，不错的科普书和科学自救手册
评分##《指导生活的算法》 生活中的很多复杂决策，看上去没有规律可循，实际上是可以用算法来解决的。e.g.找对象用到的37%法则 很多时候我们会沉迷在细节里，看不清大方向，其实是犯了数学上的过度拟合错误。 时间问题本质上是个数学问题，用数学家的办法管理时间，才能活得更有效率。
评分##算法入门，不错的科普书和科学自救手册
评分##37%規則：以買房為例，目標一年內，前 37% 的時間只看不買，在預算內了解一下市場上哪些房子你喜歡，哪些不喜歡，記住這個階段內你看到過的最滿意的那個，等到過了 37% 這個時間點，一旦遇到比前一階段那個最好的房子好，或者類似的房子，就毫不猶豫地買下來。數學家的時間管理思維：1. 最近截止日期優先 2. 如果最近截止日期優先法還是做不完，優先放棄佔用時間最長的任務 3. 如果牽涉到別人的等待時間，則完成時間短的任務優先 4. 小事與要事的衡量公式，任務密度 = 重要程度 / 完成時間，然後按照任務的密度由高到低的順序去做。
评分看之前就比较担心是不是太trivial都是已经知道的东西，结果不幸料中。不过也好，打消了我写类似书的想法
评分##最理性的做决定方式是：先收集一个不大不小的样本，对所处的世界有一个相对充分的了解，再做出选择。反过来说，如果遇到正在采样期的人，你做得再好，最多就是给别人提供一个数据点，基本没有用
评分##上当了，骗子东抄西凑攒的垃圾，怀疑丫用搜索引擎写的，看作者努力过，两星够了。
评分##"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"，确实如此，希望我本科时就读过 (不过16年才出来呀...)
