Pearl on the tradeoff between quality of search and quality of perception.
Judea Pearl, winner of the Association for Computing Machinery's A.M. Turing Award, discusses the fundamental tradeoff in search between exploring more positions and evaluating each position more thoroughly. This clip is taken from an interview conducted with Pearl by David Brock for ACM and the Computer History Museum on July 6, 2022. Video of the full interview is available as part of Pearl’s ACM profile at amturing.acm.org/award_winners/pearl_2658896.cfm.

Judea Pearl, winner of the Association for Computing Machinery's A.M. Turing Award, explains that his focus in recent decades on causality led him to completely rethink his earlier assumption that causality was just shorthand for a particular kind of probabilistic relationship.

    SO a latin square problem where you have x number of 1's and y number of 2's each row and column. If it's just 1's and 2's can it be reduced to 2 sat. I'd love to know surely it's quicker to solve than one with more variety of numbers. if you can solve 2 different number latin squares of any size in p time then I know how that could be useful for gaining clues to latin squares using many more numbers.

    I have both a 28C and a 28S calculator and despite their age, they are far superior to anything I've seen since. The only negative is the poor screen, which is sometimes difficult to read. Once you get used to PRN it's so easy and reliable - no more guesswork as to whether to enter √2 or 2√ like on other calculators.

    I've had an HP-55, HP-67, and HP-41c. I've got an emulator for the 48/49 series as well as the Prime on my phone now. The one thing I miss is the tactile feeling of the solid click of the HP keyboards. It's probably because I started working with computers very early on that RPN appealed to me so much. I've always been able to think in better in those terms than relying on how the calculator is programmed to interpret algebraic notation. It's great hearing the thoughts of the people involved in creating and programming of these calculators.
