Quotes About Algorithm

From one point of view, all that a program ever does is to compute; that is, it takes some inputs and produces some output.

There are different types of censorship. There is the outright ban on a book type. Then there are the type where the ones who can give it voice, squash it by burying it under search engine algorithms and under other news, videos or books of their own agenda or publication. A smart consumer should be free to choose what to read and what to believe. That choice on a consumer-oriented website, is really what is best for the consumer. - Strong by Kailin Gow

Once upon a time, if you were going to get a loan from me, I would have had to look at your file, and I would have to make a decision about whether youre going to get a loan. Maybe we would meet and talk about it. There would be some level of human involvement and human interaction. Now, a lot of this is determined by an algorithm.

I have a simple algorithm, which is, wherever you see paid researchers instead of grad students, that's not where you want to be doing research.

SEO is knowing what the search engines want and giving it to them... so hard they f***ing bleed

Complex sequences exhibit an irregular, nonrepeating arrangement that defies expression by a general law or computer algorithm

An algorithm is a finite answer to an infinite number of questions.

Ultimately, every neural net just corresponds to some overall mathematical function—though it may be messy to write out. For the example above, it would be: The neural net of ChatGPT also just corresponds to a mathematical function like this—but effectively with billions of terms.

Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit. It's less predictable, it's more fun, and it comes without a 30-day, money-back guarantee.

In games, the thing that matters most is the order of things. The game has an algorithm, but the player also must create a play algorithm in order to win. There is an order to any victory. There is an optimal way to play any game.

The goal of this book is to highlight the computational beauty found in nature's programs.

Security is hard; while you can show that a particular algorithm is weak, you can't show that one algorithm you don't know how to break is more secure than another.

YouTube's algorithm doesn't know what's going on in the world.

My recommendation for SEO is very simple. It's Write Good Stuff. In my mind, Google is in the business of finding good stuff. It has thousands of the smartest people in the world, spending billions of dollars to find the good stuff. All you have to do is write the good stuff; you don't need to trick it.

You have to teach your algorithm what it can do and what it cannot do because, otherwise, there is a risk that the algorithms will learn the tricks of the old cartels.

And because the PageRanks are defined as proportions, they have to add up to 1 when summed over the whole network. This conservation law suggests another, perhaps more palpable, way to visualize PageRank. Picture it as a fluid, a watery substance that flows through the network, draining away from bad pages and pooling at good ones. The algorithm seeks to determine how this fluid distributes itself across the network in the long run.

Thus we can accept the wonderful results of the neuroscientists, accept that the mind, via neural behavior, is classically causal, and refuse the conclusion that the mind is computing an algorithm.

We live in a culture that's been hijacked by the management consultant ethos. We want everything boiled down to a Power Point slide. We want metrics and 'show me the numbers.' That runs counter to the immensely complex nature of so many social, economic and political problems. You cannot devise an algorithm to fix them.

Britain and America are two examples where social media will only show you what you like.

Software increasingly defines the world around us.

Machine learning is a new way of creating problem solving.

No program can say what another will do. Now, I won't just assert that, I'll prove it to you. I will prove that although you might work till you drop, You cannot tell if computation will stop.

You know, you can go to the fiftieth thing on a Google list and that's the one you want, but the ones you are going to be directed to are the funders.

Ellevest is a robo-advisor that fine-tunes its algorithms for female clients to take into account that women typically have different lifetime salary patterns and longer life expectancies.
