“the lesson I should have drawn is there may be more than one bug here and I should have looked harder the first time. But another lesson is that if a bug is thought to be rare, then looking at rarely executed paths may be fruitful. And a third thing is, having good documentation about what the algorithm is trying to do, namely a reference back to Knuth, was just great.”
Guy Steele

“We have to place our attention on humanizing artificial intelligence by removing the biases from algorithms rather than dehumanizing it.”
