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. — Steve McConnell Copy Share Image
By now they had mastered my own language, but they still made simple mistakes, like using 'hermeneutics,' when they meant 'heuristic'. — Woody Allen Copy Share Image
“heuristics are simple, efficient rules—either hard-wired in our brains or learned—that kick in especially when we're facing problems with incomplete information.” — David DiSalvo Copy Share Image
The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies. — Imre Lakatos Copy Share Image
To take an unequivocal stand, it seems to me, is of greater heuristic value and far more likely to stimulate constructive criticism… — Ernst Mayr Copy Share Image
“intuitive heuristics: when faced with a difficult question, we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the substitution.” — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image
By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics… — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image

It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power,… — Imre Lakatos Copy Share Image
“people rely on a limited number of heuristic principles which reduce the complex tasks of assessing probabilities and predicting values to simpler… — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image
“Substituting one question for another can be a good strategy for solving difficult problems, and George Pólya included substitution in his classic… — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image
Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic. — Imre Lakatos Copy Share Image
Of course, this is a heuristic, which is a fancy way of saying that it doesn't work. — Mark Jason Dominus Copy Share Image
“Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it.” — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image
“the essence of intuitive heuristics: when faced with a difficult question, we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the… — Daniel Kahneman Copy Share Image
While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics, behavior blocking, and things like that, technology is only… — John W. Thompson Copy Share Image
The psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer has a simple heuristic. Never ask the doctor what you should do. Ask him what he would do… — Nassim Nicholas Taleb Copy Share Image
Writing of history is our only heuristic principle. The Germans have a word for it, einfühlen. It is the ability to experience… — Gore Vidal Copy Share Image
“When heuristics don’t yield the results we expect, you’d think we would eventually realize that something’s wrong. Even if we don’t locate… — Sheena Iyengar Copy Share Image
