Quotes About Algorithm

each page was ranked by the number and quality of links coming into it, and the quality of these links was determined by the number and quality of links to the pages that originated them, and so on. "It's all recursive," Page explained. "It's all a big circle.

take gets beamed back to our servers and skimmed by an algorithm reader, which is a piece of software that's maybe as smart as a puppy. It sits up and barks when something really unusual happens in its field of vision.

The method you use is something called the base two logarithm. The logarithm is the opposite of the power. We know that 2 to the 7th power equals 128. The base two logarithm of 128 equals 7.

Do you believe in God? "I believe in the divine: Mendelssohn is divine. "I believe in grace: All natural movements are graceful. "I believe in the mystical mathematics of heaven, which is to say grace beyond the algorithm of causality." What about out-of-body experiences in those just returned from death's brink? "Hell, one has a vision of heaven all the time!

A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms, 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.

Nature doesn't feel compelled to stick to a mathematically precise algorithm; in fact, nature probably can't stick to an algorithm.

I have a real problem now when I go onto Netflix: it takes me a half hour to pick something out. They've got to figure something out, whether it's their algorithm... Maybe if they had it curated like a video store: 'Will Ferrell recommends this movie' or 'Jennifer Lawrence recommends these 10 movies.'

time periods, and outcome variables Ã¢â'¬Â¦ it is impossible to find any domain in which humans clearly outperformed crude extrapolation algorithms.

The noun algorithm has become quite common in an age of computerized calculations, although it did not make its first appearance until 1957. Previously the word had been algorism, which was a corruption of the final part of the name of a ninth-century mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi: the Latin algoritmi was an approximation of al-Khwarizmi, which meant 'the man from Chorasmia' (today the Khorezm province of Uzbekistan).

My well-discussed 'paranoia' urges me to believe that some tiny segment of the NSA's parsing algorithm is finely tuned to my voice.

This is where the world is going: direct access from anywhere to any type of data, whether it's a small piece of data or a small answer but a long algorithm to create that answer. The user doesn't care about this.

If you Google some sites about the link between vaccines and autism, you can very quickly find that Google is repeating back to you your view about whether that link exists and not what scientists know, which is that there isn't a link between vaccines and autism. It's a feedback loop that's invisible.

I invented an algorithm for starting micro turbo-molecular vacuum pumps to be used in science instruments on a future Mars rover.

I don't program, so I don't belong in Silicon Valley. If I did belong in Silicon Valley, I'd be there creating a revolutionary compression algorithm for billions of dollars.

Our habits and our fears make our choices. We are an algorithm of ourselves-- if you liked that you may also like this.

Social media, for all of its limitations, is rarely irrelevant. The stream of updates on your Facebook page, for instance, is algorithmically engineered to be darn-near irresistible.

The beauty of compounding iterative algorithms - evolution, fractals, organic growth, art - derives from their irreducibility.

A Soulution to Rubik's Cube is not a series of individual good guesses, each surmounting move has twelve to one odds against success. It is a series of perplexed movements or algorithms that form a coherent method of returning back to it's original (correct) state.

The concept of multitasking evolved from the computer field to explain a microprocessor performing two jobs at one time. It turns out that microprocessors are mostly linear and so are really performing only one task at a time. Computers give the illusion of simultaneous action by jumping between competing activities in a complex and rapid-paced algorithm.

The word 'natural' implies that artificiality is following an algorithm with strict fidelity.

The problem with digital architecture is that an algorithm can produce endless variations, so an architect has many choices.

So, what was Mountcastle's proposal for the location of the cortical algorithm? He said that the fundamental unit of the neocortex, the unit of intelligence, was a "cortical column.

As inspired by Alan Turing, intelligence equals behavior.

I'm considering whether or not to believe you. I need to run an algorithm on this. That's not funny. You might be trying to trick me into sleeping with you.
