Computer Science Quotes

“I etch a pattern of geometric shapes onto a stone. To the uninitiated, the
shapes look mysterious and complex, but I know that when arranged
correctly they will give the stone a special power, enabling it to respond to
incantations in a language no human being has ever spoken. ...Yet my work involves no witchcraft. The stone
is a wafer of silicon, and the incantations are software. The patterns etched on
the chip and the programs that instruct the computer may look complicated
and mysterious, but they are generated according to a few basic principles
that are easily explained.”
― William Daniel Hillis

“How do you get into making video games anyway? Sadie hated answering this question, especially after a person told her he hadn't heard of Ichigo. "Well, I learned to program computers in middle school, I got an 800 on my math SAT, won a Westinghouse and a Leipzig, and then I went to MIT, which, by the way, is highly competitive, even for a lowly female like myself, and studied computer science. At MIT, I learned four or five more programming languages and studied psychology with an emphasis on ludic techniques and persuasive designs, and English, including narrative structures, the classics, and the history of interactive storytelling. Got myself a great mentor. Regrettably made him my boyfriend. Suffice it to say, I was young. And then I dropped out of school for a time to make a game because my best frenemy wanted me to. That game became the game you never heard of. But yeah, it sold around two and a half million copies, just in the U.S., so...." Instead, she said, "I like to play games a lot, so I thought I'd see if I could make them.”

“An understanding of every language-technical detail of a language feature or library component is neither necessary nor sufficient for writing good programs. In fact, an obsession with understanding every little detail is a prescription for awful - overelaborate and overly clever code.”
― Stroustrup Bjarne, The C++ Programming Language

“You should do well but not really good. And the reason is that in the time it takes you to go from well to really good, Moore’s law has already surpassed you. You can pick up 10 percent but while you’re picking up that 10 percent, computers have gotten twice as fast and maybe with some other stuff that matters more for optimization, like caches. I think it’s largely a waste of time to do really well. It’s really hard; you generate as many bugs as you fix. You should stop, not take that extra 100 percent of time to do 10 percent of the work.”
― Ken Thompson

“Transhumanism is Terrorism (The Sonnet)

Intelligence comes easy, accountability not so much,
Yet intelligence is complex, accountability is simple.
Technology comes easy, transformation not so much,
Yet technology is complicated, transformation is simple.
In olden days there were just nutters of fundamentalism,
Today there are nutters of nationalism and transhumanism.
Some are obsessed with land, others with digital avatars,
While humanity battles age-old crises like starvationism.
When too much logic, coldness and pomposity set in,
Common sense humanity goes out of the window.
Once upon a time religion was the opium of all people,
Today transhumanism and singularity are opium of the shallow.
To replace the sky god with a computer god isn't advancement.
Real advancement is when nobody suffers from scarcity of sustenance.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Transhumanism is terrorism, for it is the very antithesis of life. Wasting precious resources on a pompous, narcissistic and megalomaniacal dream of extending life through cold, mechanical means, instead of helping to improve genuine human condition, transhumanists act as modern day terrorists who desecrate the very spirit of life and liberty without ever being held accountable. Let me tell you as a brain scientist and a computer engineering dropout - transhumanism is to brain computer interface, what nuclear weapons are to nuclear physics.”

“Code for Humanity (The Sonnet)

There is no such thing as ethical hacking,
If it were ethical they wouldn't be teaching it.
Because like it or not ethics is bad for business,
They teach hacking so they could use it for profit.
With the right sequence of zeros and ones we could,
Equalize all bank accounts of planet earth tomorrow.
Forget about what glass house gargoyles do with tech,
How will you the human use tech to eliminate sorrow?
In a world full of greedy edisons, be a humble Tesla,
Time remembers no oligarch kindly no matter the status.
Only innovators who get engraved in people's heart,
Are the ones who innovate with a humane purpose.
Innovate to bridge the gap, not exploit and cater to disparities.
In a world run by algorithms of greed write a code that helps 'n heals.”

“An algorithm is a finite answer to an infinite number of questions.”
― Stephen Cole Kleene

“The key to understanding complicated things is knowing what not to look at.”
― Gerald Jay Sussman

“For me, I will take freedom over security and I will take security over convenience, and I will do so because I know that a world without failure is a world without freedom. A world without the possibility of sin is a world
without the possibility of righteousness. A world without the possibility of crime is a world where you cannot prove you are not a criminal. A technology that can give you everything you want is a technology that can take away everything that you have. At some point, in the near future, one of us security geeks will have to say that there comes a point at which safety is not safe.”
― Dan Geer

“He contrasted what he called the MIT style, where correctness trumps everything else, and the New Jersey (i.e. Bell Labs) style, where simplicity of implementation is highly valued. His theory was that the New Jersey style, which he also called “Worse Is Better” made it possible to get stuff out and running and from there it will get improved.”
― Seibel

“It’s very important to be able to get inside of somebody else’s way of thinking, to decode their vocabulary, their notation. If you can understand something about the way they thought and the way they made a discovery, then that helps you make your own discoveries.”
― Donald Knuth

“I built my first circuit board, when I was eleven, without all the fancy resources available to the children in the west. But anybody can build a circuit, that's no biggie. Build a circuit that empowers a society - that my friend, is called humanitarian technology. And that’s the kind of technology this world desperately needs.”

“AI Brain, PIRANDOM > Circlet + Diadem × Ring > Itemizer × Abstracter, Explained : 1111 < 11 < 1, I utilized dependency injection in code for the following. Phi divides into the Pythagorean theorem, and Pi divides into the Sort where Phi is 7 and the Cognitive domain is the point in time, Pythagoras is the Affective domain in space, and Pi is then injected to the fibonacci sequence for time within the range of 7 and 4 at 10 radians to form 3.14 respectively. In conclusion, If I ran this code in a video test to derive a model view projection matrix then this is the only code I would need to create the math core and automate calls to the pixel and vertex shaders Inna GPU.”

“It’s just like planning a dinner. You have to plan ahead and schedule everything so it's ready when you need it. Programming requires patience and the ability to handle detail. Women are 'naturals' at computer programming".”
― Grace Hopper

“[S]uitably complicated recursive systems might be strong enough to break out of any predetermined patterns. And isn't this one of the defining properties of intelligence? Instead of just considering programs composed of procedures which can recursively ”

“Once upon a time at my university dorm,
They used to gather around to hear me mumble.
So I had to put my coding assignment aside,
I loved machines, more I loved workings mental.

Through a rollercoaster ride of uncharted ocean,
Engineer became monk, monk emerged scientist.
Despite the thrill of building cars and rockets,
I feel more alive in being the human bridge.

Thus goes the odyssey of the bulldozer on duty.
Before we innovate tech, we gotta renovate humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect

“Existen dos tipos de desarrolladores: los autodidactas y los autodidactas que hicieron una carrera.”

“Code War (Sonnet 1317)

The next world war is
not gonna be a cold war,
it's gonna be a code war.
Forget about conscious AI,
ethicless AI is the real danger.

Codes don't have to be conscious,
to do great damage to the world.
ChatGPT, Deepfake, Dall-E, none
are sentient, yet there is no limit
to them-produced fraud and havoc.

Without a basic righteousness code,
Fanciest of algorithm is mindless junk.
If you cannot figure out how to do that,
Abandon digital and build back analog.

Focus on ethical AI, rather than smarter AI,
If you are human, and wanna help the world.
If you're a robot who thinks logic is king,
Get yourself admitted, for you are in muck.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
