Famous quotes containing the words instruction, set and/or computer:
“There is in general good reason to suppose that in several respects the gods could all benefit from instruction by us human beings. We humans aremore humane.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“[My mother told me:] You must decide whether you want to get married someday, or have a career.... I set my sights on the career. I thought, what does any man really have to offer me?”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
