Algorithms to live by book summary

Image
  Hi, you, so today I decided to write a book summary of a book I read few months ago.  " Algorithms to Live By : The Computer Science of Human Decisions" is a fascinating book that explores the ways in which computer science can be applied to human decision making in our everyday lives. Written by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths, the book provides a unique perspective on the subject matter and demonstrates how various algorithms and data structures can be used to address various human problems. The authors begin by introducing the reader to the field of algorithms and heuristics, which are systematic methods that are used by computers to make decisions. They then explain how these same principles can be applied to help us make better decisions in our daily lives. Throughout the book, the authors provide real-world examples and case studies to illustrate their points, making the book both engaging and accessible to a wide range of readers. One of the main themes of the book

 So, after having this domain for more than 2 years I've decided to start writing. It's 1:21 AM IST, while listing to music and wondering why chatGPT's down! (I was using it like I use DDG to find answers and blogs <a search engine>) this thought came out of nowhere that I own a domain.    These days I'm focusing over myself as I want to be real me which means I want to get out of this mental trap of pleasing everyone and making everyone happy! I guess I'm in that phase, in my life, where I'm always unsatisfied and feel like something's missing from life. I also feel hungry no not hungry for food but for knowledge.  These days my life revolves around few things: - 1) Books 2) Computer (my job and learnings) 3) Gym  4) Psychology of humans and animals (even though both are same but iykyk) 5) Music (It has always been ❣️)  6) other personal things lol I feel like these paragraphs are missing contextual connection but whatever, I guess I've stopped th
