If you say you want to automate cars and save people’s lives, the skills you need for that aren’t taught in any particular discipline. I know – I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.
如果你想要为挽救生命而从事汽车自动行驶事业的话,你需要知道这个技术绝不是能从哪个特定学科里学到的。1995年,我还是一个博士生的时候,我就已经对无人驾驶汽车感兴趣了。
I like to think of mathematics as a kind of poetry.
问题是,如果你打从心里相信,那些在社会顶层的人都是精英,同时你也暗示着,以一种残忍的方法,相信那些在社会底层的人,天生就该在社会底层,换句话说,你在社会的地位不是偶然,而都是你配得的,这种想法让失败变得更残忍。
