577 The life of a programmer is lonely as snow(1/2)
Luen's eyes widened in the bar.
The short twenty minutes that had just passed had completely subverted his outlook on life, and had even made him doubt life.
For the first time in my life, I feel that my IQ seems to be inferior to that of a machine.
Twenty minutes ago, he stubbornly believed that everything was faked and alarmist by the Chinese people. The video just released probably took the Chinese people a year to make and then showed it to the press conference to scare people.
The motivation for doing this is easy to explain.
All designers know that in the field of visual effects, the Chinese are the younger brothers.
The special effects they produced are even affectionately called Wumao special effects by their own family, which speaks volumes.
So the Chinese people created this farce and wanted to make the world's leading special effects companies fall into disarray.
Yes, in Luen's subconscious, he really thought so.
However, twenty minutes later, he saw Tim Cook being invited to the stage, and then the Chinese young man who he didn't like, actually proposed to Tim Cook something that seemed to him like a joke.
ask.
If it were another person, Luen would definitely think that the person who came to power at this time must be the one the Chinese were looking for, because according to the Chinese, this is simply a task that is impossible for a machine to complete.
But that person is Tim Cook, the president of Apple, the largest manufacturer in the universe, and a man who has almost stood at the top of the human pyramid.
Ruen couldn't find any reason to convince himself that the Chinese people could convince Tim Cook to fly from the United States for more than ten hours to China to help the Chinese people promote their products. Let alone Tim Cook, just any Apple
It is impossible for an executive to do such a thing unless he is really willing to give up his annual salary of tens of millions of dollars at Apple and equity incentives worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
So there is only one explanation. The Chinese people are very sure that their products can really complete this seemingly impossible task.
what does that mean?
Not only does it mean that more than 90% of the previous videos are real, but the scope of the impact is not only that they may lose their jobs in post-production visual effects, but also the programmers of the company?
How can this be?
Who the hell are you talking to to reason with?
At this time, Lu En only had one thought, Mr. Cook, you must work hard and give an impossible task to directly poke the skin of the Chinese people. It seems that only in this way can they have a way to survive!
Luen's spirit became even more tense.
…
The press conference site.
Tim Cook looked at Wang Yufei for a long time without saying a word.
Wang Yufei also did not rush the famous old man who guest-starred as an account manager.
After all, being a product manager is not that easy. You have to give people some time to think carefully about designing a suitable software.
After a long while, Tim Cook finally spoke, but he did not make a request directly, but asked Wang Yufei: "I remember you just said that the quantum computer designed by your company can do everything, from the operating system to the bottom layer.
Drivers can do anything?”
Wang Yufei smiled and replied: "I actually didn't say that Xiaozhi One can do everything. But in terms of programming, simple operating systems or low-level drivers are not big problems."
"Huh..." Tim Cook took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "Okay, then I've almost thought about it. All I need to do is speak into this microphone?"
Tim Cook pointed to the machine that the staff had just assembled.
It is said to be a machine, but in fact the only part that can be seen on the stage is a microphone and a display screen.
At this time, this small display screen is directly connected to the large LED screen behind the two people. Everyone can see all the feedback results on the small screen through the big screen.
"Yes, Mr. Cook, you can be thirty centimeters away from the microphone to avoid noise caused by the audio phase interference of the two microphones." Wang Yufei reminded.
Tim Cook nodded, and then said with a serious face: "I hope there is such a low-level auxiliary software that can be installed on all Apple products, and its functions are barrier-free in Xinxin system and IOS."
Switch between systems. Please note that I am not talking about virtual machines, or solutions like second systems or dual systems. It can be understood that this is a lower-level system based on IOS and Xin systems, and IOS and Xin systems
The system is equivalent to two softwares of this special operating system, and users only need one step to switch in or out of the two systems."
"I think that statement is pretty clear, so can this be done?"
Although the last question seemed to be about the quantum computer, in fact, the corner of Tim Cook's eye had turned to Wang Yufei beside him.
However, when the Chinese boy heard his request, he didn't show any surprise at all, nor did he look like he was stumped by the question.
At this time, another burst of surprised exclamations came from the audience, causing Tim Cook to focus on the small screen in front of him.
Yes, just when he asked to focus on Wang Yufei, a row of words appeared on the screen.
"The description is very clear. One question is, do you really need to switch between Xin OS and IOS? After calculation, it only needs simple optimization. Other non-mainstream operating systems can also run smoothly on Apple hardware products. Is it necessary?
"
Tim Cook was stunned, what is this? He disliked that the difficulty of his request was too low, so he took the initiative to ask for a higher difficulty?
What are the other non-mainstream operating systems?
Tim Cook raised his head and looked at Wang Yufei beside him with a confused expression.
Wang Yufei had a headache. Obviously this was Xiaozhi's free play, but there was no such link in this link.
Of course, for an artificial intelligence with a high degree of freedom, it seems inevitable to make such mistakes. After all, it does not violate any underlying logic embedded in its hardware.
Since Wang Yufei chose to allow Xiaozhi No. 1 to have an intelligent mode of free learning, it seems that he can only bear the negative effects of this occasional escape.
So after an imperceptible bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Wang Yufei explained: "Mr. Cook, what it means is, does the program you want to design need to be compatible with other operating systems such as Android, win10, Blackberry, and Symbian?"
Also included. In other words, allowing customers to choose between multiple systems, not just iOS and iOS."
Before Tim Cook could say anything, the audience was in an uproar.
If it can be determined that the sentence displayed on the screen is not the response typed by the background staff, but the response independently given by the quantum computer that is being asked to program, it means that this brand-new technology has been defeated.
Computers and systems have the ability to accurately recognize human natural language.
This also means that the so-called machine programming is not just machine programming, but artificial intelligence replacing humans for autonomous programming.
What the hell...
Yes, at this moment, at least the big guys in the front row want to use foul language.
Especially in their view, Tim Cook's demands are basically hellish, and this artificial intelligence seems to be not difficult enough?
"Well, if you think it's more appropriate to add these operating systems, then do it according to your idea." Tim Cook responded decisively amidst the noise in the audience.
Of course, if this kind of low-level software can really be made, Tim Cook thinks it can still be used on Apple's own products. It only needs to delete the installation packages of other systems from the software.
Yes, at this time Tim Cook has already begun to consider that if this software can really be made, it can indeed be used on Apple's own products, allowing IOS to return to its own products in another way.
This can at least keep a small group of die-hard iOS users from being disappointed.
"Received! Please wait. It is estimated that the process will take twenty minutes to complete, which includes selecting the appropriate system installation package and modification time. Select the system directory for Xin system, IOS, Android, Blackberry and win10 trial version. The reason why win10 selects the trial version
Yes, no free authorized version was found to avoid possible copyright disputes. The operation begins."
After this paragraph appeared on the screen, it then entered a frantic screen-swiping mode.
The scene at this time is similar to the special effects in hacker movies where masters program on the screen. Rows of letters fall like waterfalls, giving people a sense of déjà vu in The Matrix.
At this time, there was a "buzzing" sound again. This was the sound made by countless people in the audience starting to discuss. It was unclear what was said specifically, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
The noise of the scene can be felt even through the screen.
Of course, this is understandable.
Because people watching this conference through the screen can also feel the tangled mentality of those who are watching this conference live.
There is also a hint of confusion in the anticipation.
To be honest, the master came to see a quantum computer, but it turned out to be the Matrix. Who can bear this?
In the past, when I attended product launches in the technology industry, my biggest feeling was that I came with full hopes. My biggest wish was to see the black technology I imagined at the launch. In the end, most of the time I left with regrets.
But this time it's really different.
After all, Google just held a quantum computer press conference last year. At the press conference, Google's latest quantum chip was displayed. It demonstrated that the quantum computer performed a complex operation in two minutes, and that was it.
Yuxin Technology's quantum computer launch this time is different from Google's, because its computing power has been proven before the launch. So everyone's expectations for this launch are more to witness history for the first time and to understand the new
Quantum computer algorithms.
However, they never expected that they would not only witness history, but also witness the release of the most awesome black technology in this century.
Machines communicate with humans using natural language and then program themselves?!
The saying that life lasts forever is indeed true.
It's true that as long as you live long enough, anything can happen to you.
Is it impossible to keep your mouth shut at this time?
Didn’t you see that when the camera passed by the industry bosses sitting in the front row, they all had their mouths half-opened and looked confused?
The big guys were scared, let alone ordinary people.
…
The atmosphere in the meeting room of Little Libaba and Xie Wen's team was extremely strange.
