An Analogy between Computing Components and Brain Structures
In the technological landscape, an intriguing analogy unfolds between computer components and the human brain’s architecture. The CPUs, foundational to traditional computing systems, are analogous to the subcortical structures of the brain. These subcortical areas, evolutionarily older and essential for basic life functions, parallel the CPU in handling core computing tasks and basic operations. Advancing… Continue reading

Some Basics, Reading ‘Game Theory, A Very Short Introduction’
I have begun learning about game theory and recently read Ken Binmore’s “Game Theory: A Very Short Introduction.” I would like to share some of my thoughts: Utility In game theory, there is a quantity called Utility. It represents the payoff for a player in a game. Von Neumann proposed a practical way to estimate… Continue reading
