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.

評分##聽NPR的采訪知道的這本書，印象是如何用算法幫助你找對象和收拾傢。真讀瞭以後感覺那些生活小竅門都是錶層，這書的本質是用CS的角度去思考，從解決計算問題延伸到哲學。感觸最深的是貝葉斯那章，人們都對prior有很好的直覺，但是這個直覺不停的在被追求吸引眼球的新聞扭麯。尤其現在這個一開電腦一摸手機，簡直是一個人一個泡泡的世界裏，protect your prior太艱辛瞭
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##指導生活的算法。戀愛的年齡與猶豫比例決策。時間保守與開放的選擇。
評分##關於算法的理性與感性，比如博弈論結尾這段兒："The road to hell is paved with intractable recursions, bad equilibria, and information cascades, seek out games where honesty is the dominant strategy, then just be yourself."
評分##最理性的做決定方式是：先收集一個不大不小的樣本，對所處的世界有一個相對充分的瞭解，再做齣選擇。反過來說，如果遇到正在采樣期的人，你做得再好，最多就是給彆人提供一個數據點，基本沒有用
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。
