Hammer of Technology

SIRI is stupid, but if you ask her some simple questions, she won’t get stuck; Google Assistant can also help people call and make an appointment with Tony teacher; language?

"How do you plan to test this thing? Can it understand human speech?" Yu Xingwei asked, pointing at the cat.

"It's normal. 24 hours is not enough for it to evolve into something like a language. The time is not enough, and the performance of the notebook is not enough."

Ning Wei explained, then took out his phone and connected to the cloud space.

Currently only one-tenth of the 3TB space is used, and there are a lot of fragmented data in it, some of which are still being piled in, and some of which have been deleted.Of course, this is normal, but all data has to be interpreted by the program.

Putting down the phone, Ning Wei started to operate the computer, ignoring the cat on the screen, but the system was too stuck, and when the mouse moved, the little milk cat would wave its paws from time to time to chase the direction of the mouse, and then change Card……

Enduring the system stuck to the explosion, it took 10 minutes for Ning Wei to enter the console of the program, and he couldn't see anything different for the time being.

"It seems that I need a better laptop." Ning Wei spread his hands, a little distressed.

"Is it used to tease cats? It's really too stuck. This cat gets stuck when it doesn't move, and it gets even worse when it moves! But having said that, let's not talk about whether it is smart or not. This cat is really cute. I can't help but look at it." I want to raise one. And if this program can not consume so much computing power, maybe someone will really pay for this software if I get some virtual cat food and clothes to sell." Yu Xingwei gave an extremely pertinent evaluation ,

Ning Wei: "..."

Well, it really is a blind box program, and it didn't evolve intelligent language ability in the end. It seems that his thinking is still too simple.

But thinking about it in another direction, at least the collision of countless random data did not evolve the appearance of a cockroach, which should be considered a blessing in misfortune.

"Well, Brother Yu, you haven't moved the three thousand dollars that the school gave you before you left, have you?" After a long silence, Ning Wei asked Yu Xingwei.

"I really want to move, but you have to give me that chance." Yu Xingwei glanced at Ning Wei resentfully, and the resentment had overflowed like substance.

Yes, staying in a hotel with full board and lodging, there is really nothing to spend money on.

"Great, our money together is six thousand dollars, enough for me to buy a similar laptop. I will pay you back the money when I go back." Ning Wei looked at Yu Xingwei and said.

Ning Wei brought a UnionPay card with him, but the money in it was not too much. The bulk of the 100 million yuan was left to his family, and he only had more than 1 yuan left in his card for living expenses.

"Take it and use it, why don't you pay it back? The money can't be used up, why don't you give it to the school? Anyway, I don't have much money to spend, and the notebooks purchased by our school are not worth it. I will post the paper later. When it comes time, don’t forget to continue to leave brother Yu a second or third role.” Yu Xingwei said very open-minded.

Anyway, it's a generosity to the school, not to mention that Ning Wei helped win his trip to the United States this time, which he really appreciates.

"Then thank you, Brother Yu."

"Wait a minute, I'll give Feng Shaojie a call. The boss told me that if we want to go out for a stroll, we must be accompanied."

"Ok!"

……

The next day, Feng Shaojie directly drove the two of them to Georgetown, which is said to be a famous commercial center in Washington.

In fact, it is an indoor shopping mall in a bustling commercial street. In Ning Wei's view, it seems similar to Huaxia's shopping malls, and the building looks older.

But in Feng Shaojie's words, the old represents history in the eyes of foreigners.

Well, just be happy everyone.

Fortunately, there are many electronic product stores here. In the end, Ning Wei chose an Alien notebook, which cost US$5237. Although it was a bit thicker, it directly crushed the notebook that was given to him by several institutes as a reward in terms of configuration. .

Core I910980HK processor, 32GDDR4 generation memory, GF30808GBGDDR6 generation graphics card, and 2TB PCIeM.2 solid state disk, it should not be a big problem to run his kitten.

Yes, although the so-called intelligent life hatched by his Ningwei small black box is not ideal, he has no intention of giving up yet.

Let's keep it in this notebook for now, anyway, considering his current financial strength, it is not a big problem to find a home for the inspiration that emerged from this meeting.

Even if the money is spent, if the paper is successfully published in the "American Journal of Mathematics", you can still get a reward; after the turbulence algorithm goes back, it should be able to carry out large-scale public testing, and then you can publish another paper, in short, leave Before the school, it was not a big problem to get another hundreds of thousands of rewards.

In fact, after buying the computer, Ning Wei planned to go back to the hotel, transfer the program of the kitten to the new computer, and do some tests. It was almost evening, and he went directly to the airport to return home, ending this SODA trip.

But Yu Xingwei obviously had a strong appetite for shopping, so he accompanied him to the mall for a long time, and finally bought six sets of authentic jerseys from different NBA teams, saying they were gifts for the lab brothers, so he gave up.

After shopping, Feng Shaojie drove the two back to the hotel, and made an appointment to go to the airport. Yu Xingwei began to try on the newly purchased uniforms in the room, and Ning Wei started the transfer process after completing the basic settings.

After more than 40 hours of self-iterative updates for the small program, the main program has expanded to more than five gigabytes, which does not include the part in the cloud space.

Of course, these were expected. Since the small program was given complete background control rights and could freely download restricted public content on the Internet, Ning Wei expected that the content of the designated folder would continue to be expanded.

However, these data only make the cat on the screen look more real after all, because even if it is replaced with a new home with powerful configuration, it only makes it less laggy when it makes calls.

"Can I give you a name?"

"aim……"

"Call you Little Douding?"

"aim,……"

"Small soybeans?"

"aim,……"

"Wait, are you a male cat or a female cat?"

Speaking of Ning Wei, he moved the mouse, and the little milk cat on the screen waved its paws boredly, but still lying there, staring at him cutely.

"Ass, turn your ass around..."

"Aim, aim, aim..."

Ning Wei is still working hard. After all, he knows the male and female cats so he can name it. If it is a male cat, it would be very unfriendly to call it Xiaohua.

After struggling with the cat on the screen for a few minutes, Ning Wei was probably sure it was a female cat.

There is no real evidence, but in Ning Wei's simple opinion, since the primary sexual characteristics do not seem so obvious, it must be a female cat.

"Okay, then you will be called March from now on. You were born in March."

"aim……"

"The objection is invalid, that's it."

On the screen, the kitten curled up helplessly, and began to lick its paws, ignoring Ning Wei's teasing.

"I said, Ning Wei, you really don't plan to give up this cat?" Yu Xingwei, who was trying on clothes, couldn't help but said.

In his opinion, Ning Wei's current behavior is really naive.

"Would you believe it if I said that it might pass the Turing test after a year or two?"

Yu Xingwei thought for a while, and said, "Believe it, I already believe it is the originator of artificial intelligence, I don't care to believe it a little more, I will believe it even if you say that this cat will walk out of the screen immediately."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Of course, this is not the footsteps of a kitten actually crawling out of the screen. As we all know, cats have no sound when they walk.

Ning Wei glanced at Yu Xingwei who had just taken off his clothes and only a pair of shorts left, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Me, Lucy!"

Hearing the crisp female voice from outside the door, Yu Guangwei picked up his clothes and rushed into the room, and closed the door behind him.

Ning Wei glanced at the closed bedroom door, sighed, stood up from the stool, walked to the door of the living room, opened the door, wearing a set of standard business attire, with her hair up, Lucy Ron was pretty Standing at the door alive.

"I'm going," said Lucy Ron.

"Oh! I'm going back to China at night." Ning Wei nodded.

"Then, when I collapse into a woman's state, can I have the honor to exchange a contact information with you, so that I can enter the superposition state of male and female at any time in the future?" Lucy Ron asked very seriously.

Seeing what he said, Ning Wei felt slightly embarrassed.

Just thinking of March, who was born after brainstorming with this woman on the screen, Ning Wei decided to give this woman a chance: "Okay, but in the future, please don't worry about why you memorized political problems for three months, but maths exam Such a stupid question."

"Oh...forget it, I don't want to argue with you today, I have your e-mail, but I guess you must not have FaceBook, right?"

Ning Wei nodded, which serious Chinese student would use that thing...

"So I registered a WeChat, but now I need someone from China to verify it for me, just you." Lucy Ron shook her phone.

"Huh? Americans can also register for WeChat?"

"why not?"

"Okay, scan your QR code for me."

Soon, Lucy Ron's WeChat successfully logged in, and the two became friends with each other.

"After I go back this time, I will spend more time learning mathematics. What I want to tell you is, don't think that you are right in everything!"

"I still maintain my opinion on this, until you burn all those evening dresses, at least mathematically there is hardly room to go further."

"Then we'll see!"

"If you have any questions, you can ask me, and if I happen to be free, I can give you advice."

"Oh... goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After a not-so-friendly farewell, the woman turned and left, and Ning Wei closed the door.

How should I put it, maybe this can be regarded as gaining a friendship?

Although the horoscopes of the two are obviously in conflict.

A little disappointed, but soon Ning Wei thought of his March, and yelled at the closed door: "She's gone!" Then sat down in front of the newly bought computer again.

Little Sanyue, who was still lazily lying on the spot, tilted her head and watched him sit in front of her, then stretched out her paws, and a small bowl filled with milky white liquid was grabbed out of the black box next to the screen. Then he leaned his little head over, stuck out his tongue and started licking...

Ning Wei blinked and asked, "So, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"aim,……"

"Don't worry if you understand or not, I know you are still young, so grow up slowly!"

"aim……"

119 Returning with Honor

A long journey is never boring, especially if you have to stay in a closed cabin for more than ten hours.Even if it is business class, it is actually more comfortable to support your feet.

Moreover, the return trip does not have the passion of going to a departure, which can easily make people fall into a tired and boring mood.

This is obviously the case for Yu Xingwei at this time.

For him, this trip to the United States has been rewarding, and it has been very rewarding.

At least I have increased my knowledge, and I can write the identity of the special guest of the world's top computer algorithm conference in the introduction column where I will give a report next time.It is not an exaggeration to say that with this alone, he has killed 90.00% of the doctors in the country.

But sitting on the plane and thinking about it carefully, he still felt lonely and the feeling of lack of interest was lingering.

His eyes fell on Ning Wei who was beside him. On the plane, Ning Wei was still teasing the cute and silly kitten in the notebook that he named "March".

The interactions are simple and childish.

Most of the time, one person and one cat stare at each other...

Occasionally, the kitten would wave its paw and let out a weak cry.

It's boring as fuck.

"Mr. Ning, to be honest, you actually designed such a kitten, right? The life in the laboratory is too boring, and pets are not allowed, and you don't have a girlfriend, and daily life is too boring, so I give it to you. I designed an exclusive electronic pet for psychological adjustment, right?"

Yu Xingwei asked, he felt that he was very wise at this moment, seeing through the little thoughts of a genius.

The originator of artificial intelligence is all to enhance the atmosphere. In essence, this cat is no different from the so-called electronic pets, at most it is more refined.

From his professional point of view, if the cat's series of reactions to external stimuli were realized by artificial intelligence, it would be too heaven-defying.For example, it is probably more difficult to make a machine that understands the world through binary numbers produce a response similar to curiosity than to make it calculate super-large Mersenne numbers.

But it would be much easier to use a programming language to limit specific reactions to specific conditions. It’s not that he’s bragging. Given him a month, he can basically design an electronic pet that can run with the mouse.

Even so, Yu Xingwei didn't feel ashamed after being teased, but felt that Ning Wei was closer to a mortal that people can get close to.

After all, geniuses are awesome, but mortals are bragging.

These words fell into Ning Wei's ears, which made him stunned, then looked at Yu Xingwei with complicated and unspeakable eyes, thought for a while, and then simply replied: "It's over, I was seen through by Brother Yu, I'm sorry of."

"Ha ha……"

……

With this little episode, Yu Xingwei felt that the journey was not too sleepy.

After all, being able to bring a little frustration to a genius who has been almost recognized by the whole world, the sense of accomplishment is also unparalleled.Didn't you see that female Ph.D. from Harvard can only be deflated in front of Ning Wei?

And now he can be regarded as a man who can see through the behavior of geniuses.

Maybe in the future he can specialize in the study of genius psychology?
