A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

If you just have a single problem to solve, then fine, go ahead and use a neural network. But if you want to do science and understand how to choose architectures, or how to go to a new problem, you have to understand what different architectures can and cannot do.
如果你只有一个问题要解决,那么好吧,继续使用神经网络。但是如果你想做科学研究,了解如何选择架构,或者如何解决一个新问题,你必须了解不同的架构能做什么,不能做什么。
Direction coupling between the various radiations generated in a nuclear reaction both with one another and with the initiating radiation can also be detected and measured by coincidences; this provides valuable information about the structure of the atomic nuclei.
在核反应中产生的各种辐射相互之间以及与初始辐射之间的方向耦合也可以用巧合来探测和测量;这提供了有关原子核结构的有价值的信息。
If you take all the factories in the world today, they could make all the parts necessary to build more factories like themselves. So, in a sense, we have a self-replicating industrial system today, but it would take a tremendous effort to copy what we already have.
如果你把当今世界上所有的工厂都考虑进去,他们就能生产出所有必要的部件来建造更多像他们一样的工厂。所以,从某种意义上说,我们今天有一个自我复制的工业体系,但要复制我们现有的体系需要付出巨大的努力。
At the beginning of this album I discovered the computer and had great fun playing with the thing. And I realized that, not being a good keyboard player, I could write things in very small sections, give them a certain feel and mess about with bends on the keyboard.
在这张专辑的开始,我发现了电脑,玩的很开心。我意识到,我不是一个好的键盘演奏者,我可以把东西写在很小的部分,给他们一种特定的感觉,在键盘上随意弯曲。
The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us, they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft.
我们之所以进行这种类型的搜查,并使用先进的图像技术,是为了获取最新的情报,以及我们如何知道基地组织及其附属机构想要伤害我们,他们想要击落客机或货机。
I think there'd be huge losses if there weren't newspapers. I know everything's shifting to the Internet and some people would say, 'News is news, what you're talking about is a change of consumption, not the product that's out there.' But I think there is a change.
我认为如果没有报纸,将会有巨大的损失。我知道一切都在转向互联网,有些人会说,‘新闻就是新闻,你说的是消费的变化,而不是产品的变化。但我认为情况有所改变。
Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society, you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local.
很快我们的社会就会有机器人,你将会有很多过去由人完成的自动化过程——这正在发生。社会和技术变化如此之快,这种变化对社会和技术的影响是全球性的,而不是地方性的。
While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics, behavior blocking, and things like that, technology is only a part of the approach to solving the problem with the more important aspect involving putting the right process in place.
尽管围绕启发式、行为阻塞等方面的技术状态已经取得了惊人的进展,但技术只是解决问题的方法的一部分,而解决问题的更重要的方面涉及正确的过程。
Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done.
杰里颠覆了去另一个星球的超级英雄的惯用套路。他把超级英雄放在普通、熟悉的环境中,而不是像大多数科幻小说中那样,把他放在普通、熟悉的环境中。我记得那是我第一次这么做。
The fact that biological, or atural rules might help in the creation of a computer generated work of art is interesting, but even a wonderful work of art made in this fashion isn't the same as a person, with all his or her experiences and emotions involved, making art.
生物或自然规律可能有助于计算机生成的艺术作品的创作,这一事实很有趣,但即使是用这种方式创作的美妙艺术品,也与一个人不同,他或她所有的经历和情感都参与了艺术创作。
All the information you could want is constantly streaming at you like a runaway truck - books, newspaper stories, Web sites, apps, how-to videos, this article you're reading, even entire magazines devoted to single subjects like charcuterie or wedding cakes or pickles.
你想要的所有信息就像一辆失控的卡车一样源源不断地向你涌来——书、报纸故事、网站、应用程序、操作视频、你正在阅读的这篇文章,甚至是一整本杂志,都是关于诸如熟食、婚礼蛋糕或泡菜等单一主题的。
Looking ahead, I believe that the underlying importance of higher education, of science, of technology, of research and scholarship to our quality of life, to the strength of our economy, to our security in many dimensions will continue to be the most important message.
展望未来,我相信,高等教育、科学、技术、研究和学术对我们的生活质量、经济实力和我们在许多方面的安全的潜在重要性将继续是最重要的信息。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Wouldn't it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the technology we use to make money?
如果我们用来照顾自己的技术和我们用来赚钱的技术一样好,那不是很棒吗?
You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.
你可能不认为程序员是艺术家,但编程是一种极具创造性的职业。它是基于逻辑的创造力。
Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.
人类的每一项发明、每一件工具、每一件仪器、每一件器物、每一种为使用而设计的物品,都是从非常简单的开始发展起来的。
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.
信息技术的最大好处是它使人们能够做他们想做的事情。它让人们变得有创造力。它让人们更有效率。它让人们学习他们以前认为自己学不到的东西,所以从某种意义上说,这一切都是关于潜力的。
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
我们拥有的,而机器没有的,是展示智慧的能力。
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
对于一项成功的技术,现实必须凌驾于公共关系之上,因为自然是不会被愚弄的。
