Tech Hammer

Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Ning Wei just went to say hello to Tian Yanzhen, asked for an office for Lucy Ron, and printed a contract for Lucy Ron in Tian Yanzhen's office. The entire research center knew that Ning Weixin "Accepted" a very beautiful white female assistant.

However, the news obviously has nothing to do with Tian Yanzhen. People who can become bosses usually don't talk too much. It's just about arranging the office. Tian Yanzhen must arrange for others to do it, and the news is there. way for spreading. Of course, the main reason is probably that Lucy Rowan is really beautiful, or in line with the mainstream aesthetics of this world.

The places that should be big are big, and the places that should be exquisite are exquisite. Different outfits can show different temperaments, and the IQ is still high...

How can I put it, good looks are often a special passport. The biggest evil in this world towards ordinary-looking people is probably that people with good looks can easily get more attention, more opportunities and more resources, while attention, opportunities and resources are often limited. Scarce.

This absolutely evil, face-conscious society!

Originally, rumors from the outside world would not cause any trouble to Ning Wei. But in the afternoon, Senior Brother Lu suddenly came to the door and asked, "Ning Wei, I heard that you asked Lucy to be your assistant?"

"Yes." Ning Wei nodded.

"Ahem, Ning Wei, classmate Jiang is quite nice, isn't he? I remember that someone was crying and making trouble when he chased her, right? And when you are young, don't do things that you will regret when you are old. What kind of romantic man is this? Those who are not obscene are all nonsense. I have never seen many romantic men who are not obscene! If you have the energy, you should still focus on your studies. I told you before that you can wait until retirement to enjoy yourself. Anyway, after retirement I’m old, I have few desires, I have many hobbies, and I can be very healthy..."

Lu Dongyi rambled on, and Ning Wei felt something was wrong, and quickly stopped his senior brother who was still showing off: "Wait, senior brother Lu, what are you talking about? How much imagination do you have to imagine me?" Get together with that crazy woman Lucy?"

Lu Dongyi looked at the aggrieved Ning Wei suspiciously, thought for a moment and said, "So you asked Lucy to be your teaching assistant because you really didn't want her beauty and covet her body?"

Ning Wei looked at Lu Dongyi with a puzzled look on his face and replied: "Isn't it right? These words coming from your mouth have completely tainted our research center. Who told you this? I am the kind of person who thinks differently. Really? Let me tell you, Senior Brother Lu, you can’t just look at people by their appearance?! Lucy’s research and work abilities are very strong, okay? Isn’t this looking at 36D with colored glasses?”

"What 36D?" Lu Dongyi asked confusedly.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Senior Brother Lu, to be honest, is someone whispering in your ear? Otherwise, you wouldn't have such complicated thoughts at all." Ning Wei stood up from his desk and went to He took two glasses of water and placed them in front of Lu Dongyi.

"Come on, come on, don't leave in a hurry. Let's have a good chat about who is spreading some evil things in our pure mathematics research center. Let's ask Senior Brother Lu to talk to me about your personal style. Let me guess. Guess, most people can't talk to you, just my senior brothers. The other senior brothers probably haven't met Lucy yet, oh, senior brother Zhou, right?"

Lu Dongyi picked up the water and took a sip, then glanced at Ning Wei and said, "Senior Brother Zhou is also worried that you are too young and that you will make mistakes. Let me remind you not to be petty."

"Haha, I only knew that Senior Brother Zhou was stingy before, but I never thought that he had such a sinister side! It's obvious that I have fallen in love with him, so I didn't dare to confess to him, and he used you as a spearman. Senior Brother Lu, you He just has a good temper. It seems that Senior Brother Zhou is still too idle. I have to talk to Director Tian later and put some more burden on Senior Brother Zhou! It has been more than three years since I graduated, but I still have time to think about this. I I really admire Senior Brother Zhou. Why did he give me eye drops on the first day after I graduated? How dare you!" Ning Wei said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Lu Dongyi felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of Ning Wei's office.

"Please come in!"

After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Lucy Ron walked into the office holding a stack of information. The woman had changed into casual clothes and walked in with a stern expression.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Dongyi was slightly embarrassed. After all, the two of them were talking about the woman in front of them just now.

"Ning, I have some questions about the teaching materials you reviewed for me today." The woman ignored Lu Dongyi who was sitting there and directly put the materials on the table.

"Well, um, if you have serious business, just talk first. Anyway, if there is something I just told you, I'll change it. If it doesn't, just try harder. That's it." After saying that, Lu Dongyi stood up without hesitation. He left directly, but hesitated for a moment at the door. Instead of closing it, he pushed the door open wider.

What can I say, the details are very well thought out.

Ning Wei didn't pay attention to Brother Lu's little actions. He didn't have any bad thoughts about the woman in front of him. Of course, even if he had any thoughts, this romantic affair would not affect him at all. After all, he did not rely on public opinion at all.

To put it bluntly, Ning Wei has never set a character for himself. If he had to say that he had one, it would probably be the character of Xue Shen. As long as his research is not falsified, and indeed cannot be falsified, his persona is unbreakable. As for personal ethics, it is entirely due to nature, and it is naturally enough to be magnanimous.

He understands this truth, and of course Lu Dongyi also understands it. The so-called admonishment was nothing more than Lu Dongyi's fear that Ning Wei would waste too much energy on the relationship between men and women and delay the official business. Especially don't cause any psychological problems, such as depression. The main reason is that Ning Wei is more dangerous at this age.

"What don't you understand?" Ning Wei asked, sitting upright.

"Before discussing academic issues, I want to correct your superficial understanding." Lucy Rowan said.

"Oh? Where am I superficial?" Ning Wei frowned and asked.

"I'm E, not D!" the woman said seriously.

Their eyes met, Ning Wei blinked awkwardly, remained silent for a moment, and finally chose to admit his mistake: "You are right, this time, I was really superficial..."

I still feel a little embarrassed inside...

Is Senior Brother Lu blind?

Didn't you see this woman outside when you rushed to my office?

Of course, this is not because Senior Brother Lu is blind, the main reason is that the two of them came at the wrong time by about one minute...

Lucy nodded, and then seriously picked up the compiled textbook. Many places on it had been specially marked by her.

"The first question is about the application of dimensionality reduction algorithms in big data mining. There are two questions in this chapter that I am not sure about, and I think the content of this chapter is too in-depth. For It is not friendly to undergraduates, and in line with the principle of gradual progress, I think some of the content should be reduced.”

"Oh, let's solve the problem first and then discuss ideas. Let me take a look at your problem first..."

…

USA, New York, ACM headquarters, evening.

Although the Chinese name of ACM is the Association for Computing Machinery of America, it is actually an international science and technology education organization with nearly 100,000 professional members from more than 100 countries and regions around the world.

Of course, as the birthplace of computers, the United States has always been at the forefront of the world in terms of computer technology, whether it is software or hardware. In particular, the word computer itself represents several extremely sophisticated and complex systems.

A mediocre computer is placed on the table. People can use it to work, surf the Internet, relax, and entertain, but few people have explored the knowledge system involved. From the lowest level of hardware manufacturing, to the underlying drivers, to consumer-facing operating systems, to software applications that implement various functions, to various protocols that support large-scale computer networking...

Each system framework is attached to the word computer.

In the process of these systems being slowly invented and used by humans, scientists who have made outstanding contributions to computers have also been recorded. If we specifically study the Turing Award since its establishment in 1966, all the winners so far If you carefully study their achievements, you will find that it is these people who have promoted the continuous progress of computer technology. Until today, computers carry almost all computing tasks in the world.

Alan Paley, the first Turing Award winner in history, developed advanced programming techniques and compiler construction; Maurice Wilkes, the second Turing Award winner, developed a stored procedure computer and proposed And designed the program library; the 1983 Turing Award winner developed the UNIX operating system and the world-famous C language that are still in use today; in 1988, Ivan Sutherland began to dabble in computer graphics, and in 1992, Butler Lamp Sen contributed to distributed personal computing environments; David Patterson popularized the concept of microprocessors...

It is the research of these people that makes computers no longer the inherent impression of human beings. In a sense, Apple opened up the smartphone battlefield and brought the mobile Internet to the stage of history. Everyone began to control a microcomputer. , truly enabling everyone to enjoy the ultra-fast information dissemination experience in the Internet era.

Today is the time to finally determine the winner of the 2022 Turing Award.

In fact, before today, this year's Turing Award winner has been basically determined, but this year is slightly more controversial than in previous years.

In a sense, the Turing Award has extremely high requirements for winners. Without enough honors to match, there will be no recognition. But the extremely high requirements also mean that reviewers are more cautious. In fact, from this perspective, there is no suspense about the winner of the Turing Award in 2022.

Ning Wei, an oriental name that is 100% sure to leave a mark in history, should appear on the list of Turing Award winners.

The father of strong artificial intelligence and the three-dimensional silicon silicon tube chip manufacturing technology that can continue Moore's Law, any one of them alone is enough for Ning Wei to win this award. However, this year's review committee was so controversial that a meeting was needed to determine the candidates a week before the awards were to be announced.

What's the reason...

"Randy, I can understand your fear. You are afraid, but this is not an attitude towards facing challenges. You are afraid that this Chinese man will become more and more influential, so that his every word and deed can affect the operation of the capital market. . I can understand your thinking. Your research requires large investments, and these investments come from people who do not want to win awards. Yes, they are afraid that the Turing Award will put a layer of sanctity on this Chinese person. His halo allows him to have more believers and influence more people."

"But now let's spread the word. As long as the candidate recommended by other nominees can achieve even half of the achievements, I will support you without hesitation. Well, I also think the Turing Award should be awarded to Scholars who study quietly, rather than young people who like to comment in public. Really, I admire Vladimir. His SVM algorithm is really strong. Of course, I also admire Schmidhuber. The year before last, we debated whether The Turing Award that year was awarded to him, but in the end we chose Ben, Hinton and Lecun. As for the reason, there are minutes of the meeting at the time."

"You know? I just had a phone call with Schmidhuber yesterday, and he even explicitly refused to receive the Turing Award in this special year on the phone. Because this proud man thinks that if we choose to award the Turing Award to him this year , it is an insult to him! If we must publish his name on the official website, he will publicly make a statement rejecting the title of Turing Award winner!"

"So if you continue to insist on your views, I can only unfortunately use the power of the association president to kick some of you out of the jury members. If this is what you need, I will do it. Please note that I have not It’s not to defend anyone, I’m here to maintain the authority of the Turing Award. Please remember, what we need now is to accept the challenge. Because it is Ning who has established a March Intelligence Award in China. Although this award It’s not just awarded to scientists who have made outstanding contributions to computing, but there is no doubt that awards for artificial intelligence will likely cause trouble for us in the future.”

"At this time, if someone wants to ruin the century-old reputation of the Turing Award for their own selfish purposes, I cannot agree. I will resign after the Turing Award is announced this year. I will not interfere with the future of the Turing Award. But this year, no!”

ACM Chairman Qimi spoke for five minutes.

These words also represent his final attitude. As he said, the final decision was not only after thinking and weighing, but he even made a special phone call to the nominee with the loudest voice yesterday.

Strictly speaking, this is against the rules. Even just discussing a possibility on the phone is against the rules.

But no one can say anything wrong with Qimi, because when he just spoke, he already stated his attitude that he planned to resign and stop playing.

Of course, these words silenced all controversies.

In fact, Qimi is right. Most of the objections to Ning Wei's award focus on fear, fear and Ning Wei's willful performance and voice, fear and the growing aura around this young man, and the destructive power will be even greater.

But the problem is that the choice is no longer completely in the hands of the participants. In other words, Ning Wei is like a light absorber. It is unreasonable that some halo does not cover him. It's fucked up, but there's nothing I can do about it.

If they knew that Ning Wei had made bold statements, if those world awards were not awarded to him, it would not be his loss but the loss of those awards, and they would probably feel even more bitter in their hearts.

Because of such arrogant words, this person actually did it.

…

After Mickey finished speaking, no one said anything at the meeting.

Some words cannot be said openly, because spreading them out means that someone is ready to break up.

Gentlemen at the top of academic circles are actually not used to tearing their faces apart for nothing. After all, it is difficult to repair. If some small thoughts are made public, it will be even harder to repair.

"Okay, I have specifically ordered what I just said, and no minutes will be left. However, the subsequent voting process will follow the normal process, and there will be formal records. Everyone should know the situation of this year's candidates. It’s clear, there’s no need to waste time re-introducing it. Now let’s start the voting process directly, starting with the first-ranked candidate, Dr. Ning Wei from Huaxia Yanbei University…”

The venue was silent for a moment... Finally, someone started to raise their hands.

…

"Editor-in-Chief Jing and the reviewers' responses have been received. Everyone is very optimistic about this paper. Except for Professor Liston's suggestions for minor revisions, everyone thinks it can be published."

"Well, then send out Dr. Ning's paper."

"Is it published in the international version?"

"The Chinese version will be distributed together with the international version, no problem."

"Okay! Editor Jing."

…

"Do you understand now?"

"Yeah, got it!"

"Hey, if the students in our Ning class are similar to you in the future, I should be able to worry less."

"rather!"

"Um?"

“I have a PhD from Harvard, and I finished my undergraduate degree in just two years.”

"Okay, Lucy, if it makes you happy, then I have to admit that you surpassed me in this regard. It took me four years to complete my undergraduate degree..."

Lucy Rowan was not amused.

Because although the man in front of her had spent four years in undergraduate studies, she felt that this guy stayed in his undergraduate studies solely because he could go on a world-class stage as an undergraduate and disgust everyone.

The two were chatting when Ning Wei's phone rang.

Ning Wei picked up the phone and shook it at Lucy Ron. The woman picked up a pile of materials knowingly, raised her head and walked towards the door coolly. Of course, she didn't forget to close the office door again before leaving...

In fact, she is really not afraid of Ning Wei coveting her body. In that case, it is actually good. She can let the confident Xiang Ning Wei show off the self-defense technique she spent her spare time learning - Krav Maga.

Really, finding an opportunity to beat up Ning Wei will definitely make her feel better for several days, and it will also make her more confident to tell classmate Jiang how much of a scumbag this guy Ning Wei is, what a pity...

Rather than bothering to explore the little thoughts of the beautiful assistant who had just left, he happily answered the phone.

"Ning Wei, I am Chen Mingcai..."

"Haha, hello Mr. Chen, do you want to give me something in a different way again?"

"Forehead……"
