中文导读
理查德·费曼(Richard Feynman)关于计算机工作原理的经典讲座。他用一个“越来越笨但速度飞快的文件归档员”做精妙类比,深入浅出地讲解了启发式算法以及计算机如何在有限时间内处理数据并解决问题。
为什么 HN 推它
被奉为用大白话讲透计算机底层本质的最明晰范本,不少资深程序员看完坦言彻底刷新了自己的编程底层思维。
「哪怕写了多年代码,这场演讲依然彻底颠覆并重塑了我对编程的根本思考。」HN 网友原话:This actually changed the way I think about it after years of programming.
英文原摘要(HackerTube / Claude 整理)
A lecture by Richard Feynman on how computers work, using the analogy of a filing clerk that becomes progressively dumber and faster. It also covers heuristics and how computers handle data and solve problems in finite time.
Frequently recommended as the clearest plain-language explanation of what a computer fundamentally is, with at least one commenter saying it changed how they think about programming.

The best one I saw is where R. Feynman explains how a computer works [1].
This seems like a good companion (probably as a sequel) to
