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.

##某章提到了已经被debunk的marshmellow experiment，瞬间掉分。
评分 评分 评分 评分##听NPR的采访知道的这本书，印象是如何用算法帮助你找对象和收拾家。真读了以后感觉那些生活小窍门都是表层，这书的本质是用CS的角度去思考，从解决计算问题延伸到哲学。感触最深的是贝叶斯那章，人们都对prior有很好的直觉，但是这个直觉不停的在被追求吸引眼球的新闻扭曲。尤其现在这个一开电脑一摸手机，简直是一个人一个泡泡的世界里，protect your prior太艰辛了
