The likelihood that computer algorithms will displace…

With recidivism algorithms, for example, I worry about racist outcomes. With personality tests [for hiring], I worry about filtering out people with mental health…

“He considers it for a moment and spits out the seeds, which sprout, quickly, into tiny junkblossoms sizzling with recursive algorithms. The algorithms wriggle…

Google has - at least at this point - maintained the line where it keeps organic results separate from the advertisements. But over time…

The classes of problems which are respectively known and not known to have good algorithms are of great theoretical interest. [...] I conjecture that…

No one knows what the right algorithm is, but it gives us hope that if we can discover some crude approximation of whatever this…

I don't think anybody's ever notified that they were sentenced to an extra two years because their recidivism score had been high, or notified…

Object-oriented programming aficionados think that everything is an object… this [isn't] so. There are things that are objects. Things that have state and change…

[The Euclidean algorithm is] the granddaddy of all algorithms, because it is the oldest nontrivial algorithm that has survived to the present day.

— Donald Knuth

I like to think our brains are a bit like algorithms. Whatever you give it and feed it, you get out the product.

Bitcoin is not “unregulated”. It is regulated by algorithm instead of being regulated by government bureaucracies. Un-corrupted.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.

The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations…
