Image
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
Hal Abelson
Image
I think test-driven design is great. But you can test all you want and if you don’t know how to approach the problem, you’re not going to get a solution.
Peter Norvig
Image
Complexity is not a cause of confusion. It is a result of it.
Jeff Hawkins
Image
Schools in the future will be judged less because of the credentials that they bestow, and more because of the experiences that they offer.
Roger Schank
Image
It's always helpful to look outside of the web for your inspiration, to places where you might not at first expect to find a solution. The world is a collage of inspiration, from newspapers, magazine publishing, and advertising to product design, architecture and the fine arts.
Andy Clark
Image
No one knows what the right algorithm is, but it gives us hope that if we can discover some crude approximation of whatever this algorithm is and implement it on a computer, that can help us make a lot of progress.
Andrew Ng
Image
The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.
Ray Kurzweil
Image
Model building is the art of selecting those aspects of a process that are relevant to the question being asked. As with any art, this selection is guided by taste, elegance, and metaphor it is a matter of induction, rather than deduction. High science depends on this art.
John Henry Holland
Image
A recursive definition does not necessarily lead to a recursive process.
Gerald Jay Sussman
Image
The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies. By Hollywood standards, they are so normal we don't even notice them. But in real life, they still don't exist. What if you could buy one today?
Sebastian Thrun
Image
Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Ray Kurzweil
Image
If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.
Alan Turing
Image
These disturbing phenomena [Extra Sensory Perception] seem to deny all our scientific ideas. How we should like to discredit them! Unfortunately the statistical evidence, at least for telepathy, is overwhelming.
Alan Turing
Image
The Exclusion Principle is laid down purely for the benefit of the electrons themselves, who might be corrupted (and become dragons or demons) if allowed to associate too freely.
Alan Turing
Image
Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
Alan Turing
Image
A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine.
Alan Turing
Image
Instruction tables will have to be made up by mathematicians with computing experience and perhaps a certain puzzle-solving ability. There need be no real danger of it ever becoming a drudge, for any processes that are quite mechanical may be turned over to the machine itself.
Alan Turing
Image
Codes are a puzzle. A game, just like any other game.
Alan Turing
Image
My little computer said such a funny thing this morning.
Alan Turing
Image
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Alan Turing
Image
Up to a point, it is better to just let the snags [bugs] be there than to spend such time in design that there are none.
Alan Turing
Image
In attempting to construct such (artificially intelligent) machines we should not be irreverently usurping His (God's) power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children,” Turing had advised. “Rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates.
Alan Turing
Image
I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.
Alan Turing
Image
We are not interested in the fact that the brain has the consistency of cold porridge.
Alan Turing
