of what's on the market,
na 37% onoga što se nudi,
on the next place you see,

uzmite 37% tog vremena --
trying to find a place to live
prostora za život
stopping problem.
optimalnog odustajanja.
studied extensively
koju intenzivno proučavaju
to our dismal failures.
i tužnih grešaka.
the computational structure
that arise in everyday life,
ponašaju u stvarnom životu
solutions to those problems
a little bit of computer science
računalne znanosti
as an overly cerebral kid ...
kao dijete koje je previše razmišljalo --
that I thought was rational,
koji sam mislio da je racionalan,
the very best action to take.
aktivnost koju trebam poduzeti.
that doesn't scale up
na velikim problemima,
the sorts of problems
to break up with my girlfriend
prekinuti s mojom djevojkom
her preferences as well as my own
i njene i svoje sklonosti
the wrong approach
pogrešnim pristupom
what restaurant to go to
poput izbora restorana
who to spend the rest of your life with,
provesti ostatak života,
with computational problems
računskim problemima
by applying sheer effort.
primjenom malog napora.
the first people you think to talk to.

exhaustive and exact --
iscrpljujuć i precizan --
of human decisions

of difficult problems
actually solve those problems

that people really act.
ljudi zaista ponašaju.
what restaurant to go to.
restorana u koji ćete ići.
a particular computational structure.
računsku strukturu.
one of those options,
exactly the same decision tomorrow.
susresti s istom odlukom.
what computer scientists call
znanstvenici nazivaju
to try something new --
to use in the future --
budućnosti --
that you already know is pretty good --
znate da je dobro --
that you've already gathered so far.
prikupili ranije.
shows up any time you have to choose
pojavljuje svaki put kad trebamo izabrati
that you already know is pretty good,
da je prilično dobro,
who you're going to spend time with.
provesti vrijeme.
that technology companies face
tehnološka poduzeća,
like decide what ad to show on a web page.
treba pojaviti na internet stranici.
i naučiti nešto iz toga,
and learn something about it,
chance you're going to click on?
da se na njega klikne.
a lot of progress understanding
napredovali u razumijevanju
some surprising insights.
neke iznenađujuće uvide.
what restaurant to go to,
u koji ćete restoran ići,
you're going to be in town.
for a short time,
you already know is good.
za koji već znate da je dobar.
for a longer time, explore.
duže vrijeme, istražujte.
because the information you get
jer su informacije koje ćete prikupiti
your choices in the future.
donošenje odluka u budućnosti.
you're going to have to use it.
ćete ih moći koristiti.
of a human life as well.
for being particularly rational.
da su posebno racionalne.

what they should be doing.
što bi i trebale raditi.
phase of their lives,
could turn out to be delicious.
se mogu pokazati slasnima.
to the same restaurant
that he's earned
the explore/exploit trade-off
to sort of relax and go easier on yourself
da vam bude lakše
to the best restaurant every night.
svaku večer.
istražujte.
than one pretty good dinner.
jedna jako dobra večera.
to make it easier on us
pomoći i olakšati stvari,
to tidy up your wardrobe,
agonizing decision:
you're going to keep
koju ćete odjeću zadržati,
to have thought very hard about this --
razmišljala o tome --
of something that I already own?
I wore it or used it?"
even harder about this problem,
is more important than the others.
puno važnije od ostalih.
the memory systems of computers.
računalnog pamćenja.
two kinds of memory systems:
that has limited capacity,
ograničenog kapaciteta
which is much larger.
as efficiently as possible,
you want to access
kojima želite pristupiti
a piece of information,
za dijelom informacije,
it has to remove from that memory,
maknuti iz te memorije
a few different strategies
drugačije strategije
from the fast memory.
brze memorije.
something at random
the "first-in, first-out principle,"
"prvi unutra, prvi van",
for the longest.
which have been least recently used.
nisu bili korišteni u bliskoj prošlosti.
to remove something from memory,
nešto maknuti iz pamćenja,
last accessed the furthest in the past.
koji je korišten daleko u prošlosti.
kind of logic to this.
accessed that piece of information,
put pristupili tom dijelu informacije
to access it again.
the computer's memory.
the things that you're most likely to need
stvari koje ćete najvjerojatnije trebati
as quickly as possible.
što je prije moguće.
the least recently used principle
načelo nedavnog korištenja
to Martha's four questions,
je postavila Martha,
would say that of these,
da je od njih
likely to need are most accessible
trebati najdostupnije,
that has exactly this property.
upravo to svojstvo.
from the left-hand side.
s lijeve strane na desnu.
to the left-hand side of the box.
s lijeve strane.
a document, he'd take it out,
izvukao bi ga van,
on the left-hand side.

slijeva na desno
what he was looking for
ono što traži

and implement this filing system --
primijenili ovaj sustav,
that you probably already have.
vjerojatno napravili.
as messy and disorganized,
i neorganizirana,
perfectly organized --
koji ste iz nje izvadili,
to be ordered from top to bottom
od vrha prema dnu
what you're looking for
brzo pronaći ono što tražite
problems in your life.
u vašem životu.
are simply very, very hard.
trebamo riješiti vrlo, vrlo teški.
ponuditi neke strategije
what makes the most sense
koji imaju najviše smisla
into simpler problems --
na manje probleme --
or by allowing approximations.
približne vrijednosti.
into the harder problems,
u rješavanje onih težih
pretty good solutions in their own right.
rješenja u zadanim okvirima.
to relax when I have to make decisions.
kod donošenja odluka.
for finding a home as an example.
za pronalaženje doma.
consider all of the options,
sve mogućnosti
the optimal strategy,
the very best place is --
najbolje mjesto je --
can help to make us more forgiving
pomoći da postanemo blaži
just processes.
samo procese.
the best process,
involve taking a chance --
i nešto rizika --
for a pretty good solution.
za prilično dobro rješenje.
that we make when we can't be rational --
ne možemo biti racionalni --
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tom Griffiths - Psychologist, cognitive scientistTom Griffiths uses ideas from computer science to understand how human minds work.
Why you should listen
Tom Griffiths's research explores connections between natural and artificial intelligence to discover how people solve the challenging computational problems they encounter in everyday life. Currently the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture at Princeton University, his work has received awards from organizations ranging from the American Psychological Association to the Sloan Foundation.
In 2016, Griffiths and his friend and collaborator Brian Christian published Algorithms to Live By, a book that illustrates how understanding the algorithms used by computers can inform human decision-making (and vice versa). The book was named one of the Amazon.com "Best Science Books of 2016" and appeared on Forbes's "Must-read brain books of 2016" list as well as the MIT Technology Review's "Best books of 2016" list.
