Imagine life without any algorithms at all, you wouldn't be able to do anything. This is already completely encompassing. We have a habit of… — Hannah Fry Copy Share Image
There are lots of different ways that algorithms can go wrong, and what we have now is a system in which we assume because… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
The idea that humans will always have a unique ability beyond the reach of non-conscious algorithms is just wishful thinking. — Yuval Noah Harari Copy Share Image
Algorithms work when someone is doing a daily vlog or something, not when it's someone's life's work. — Declan McKenna Copy Share Image
I'll never know everything. My life would be a lot worse if there was nothing I knew the answers about - and if there… — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
“Nearly every example of faulty reasoning that has been published is accompanied by the phrase "of course" or its equivalent.” — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
[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 Copy Share Image
The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because… — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
When certain concepts of TeX are introduced informally, general rules will be stated; afterwards you will find that the rules aren't strictly true. In… — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
In fact, my main conclusion after spending ten years of my life working on the TEX project is that software is hard. It's harder… — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
Any inaccuracies in this index may be explained by the fact that it has been prepared with the help of a computer. — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
My first program taught me a lot about the errors that I was going to be making in the future, and also about how… — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
It would be nice if we could design a virtual reality in Hyperbolic Space, and meet each other there. — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
I have a hunch that the unknown sequences of DNA will decode into copyright notices and patent protections. — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind. — Donald Knuth Copy Share Image
With recidivism algorithms, for example, I worry about racist outcomes. With personality tests [for hiring], I worry about filtering out people with mental health… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
Google has - at least at this point - maintained the line where it keeps organic results separate from the advertisements. But over time… — Tim Wu Copy Share Image
The classes of problems which are respectively known and not known to have good algorithms are of great theoretical interest. [...] I conjecture that… — Jack Edmonds Copy Share Image

“Data Scientists should recall innovation often times is not providing fancy algorithms, but rather value to the customer.” — Damian Mingle Copy Share Image
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… — Cathy O'Neil Copy Share Image
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… — Alexander Stepanov Copy Share Image

Bitcoin is not “unregulated”. It is regulated by algorithm instead of being regulated by government bureaucracies. Un-corrupted. — Andreas Antonopoulos Copy Share Image
It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used. — Philip Emeagwali Copy Share Image
