It does feel like an international joke.

Because domestic and foreign programmers are very similar in this regard.

Rune, who was watching the video on his phone at the bar at this time, also thought so.

After being kicked out of the group, he didn't bother to communicate with his peers, after all, the programmer profession is just his hobby, and the special effects artist is his serious job. And now it seems that his job as a special effects artist is not too secure.

Whether it can continue to work depends on how long the company can last, or how long it takes for customers to accept the new technology.

Once he accepted these assumptions, he felt that he could think very detached about the changes that quantum computers would make to his life.

First of all, like the programmers in the team of Riba Shevin Jr., he determined that the field of human programming is probably not comparable to the machine that is about to come out. But does this mean that the world no longer needs programmers?

Rune doesn't think so.

First of all, talented, creative, and top-notch programmers are definitely needed.

Although he still doesn't quite understand the principles of machine programming, Rune feels that machine programming must have limitations.

It may be used to replace ordinary programmers, but it certainly cannot completely replace the human status.

Secondly, machines ultimately need to be maintained by humans.

If you don't know how to program, how can you deal with machines?

The only problem is that staying in Wellington is probably not the best option if you want to go down this path.

If you want to do a job at the forefront of science and technology and make cutting-edge money, Huaxia seems to be a good choice.

This is the simple siphon effect of tech talent.

In the past, the world's technology center was in the United States, and the technology center of the United States was in Silicon Valley, so the world's smartest people gathered there and created huge wealth.

Now, there is no doubt that the world's science and technology center has been shifting to China, and China will inevitably have many opportunities in the future.

Yes, at this moment, Wellington's beautiful climate conditions seemed to be less important to Rune, and he felt that the mysterious ancient country of the East was calling to him, and maybe his future was there.

And compared to his future, the climate is good or bad, it is all floating clouds.

After all, he is only 32, he is still very young, and he has not yet reached the time to enjoy happiness, and his life needs to struggle.

Thinking of this, Rune quickly switched the screen temporarily, clicked on Facebook, found his friend, and sent a message: "Thomson, have you watched today's press conference? I have a hunch that there will be many opportunities in Huaxia in the future, and I want to go to Huaxia!"

After a while, the other party replied with a message, which was very concise, with only one "?"

After waiting for about ten seconds, a string of messages came over: "I'm rubbing, are you the White Queen? Why do you know what I think? Or do we want to go together again? Huaxia must have many opportunities! Moreover, I heard that Huaxia people are very hospitable, and if I can't continue to work in the company, I plan to try my luck." ”

"There is no doubt that this is a wise decision! I'm at RoyalOak under the company, do you want to have a drink? We can watch the press conference of Huaxia together!"

"Wait for me, ten minutes!"

“OK！”

When Rune finished chatting with Thomson and turned the phone screen to the video of the press conference again, the guest invited to the stage turned into a well-known old man, Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft.

This card ......

Rune felt like there was no one.

You say, who can have the current president or CEO of Apple and Google, and the founder of Microsoft all come on stage to make the same presentation?

Who else!?

......

Yes, at this time, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was also invited to the stage like a relay.

It's not planned to do this, the main thing is that Tim Cook made a bad start, chose a software that doesn't match well, and demonstrated that he didn't need the Xin system on the Apple phone to experience IOS, and chose Sundar Pichai to demonstrate Android, and after the demonstration of the president of Google, I subconsciously thought that I had met with the founder of Microsoft before coming to the venue today.

So without waiting for Wang Yufei's reminder, the president of Google, who was eager to perform, invited Bill Gates to try to use win10 on Apple mobile phones.

Bill Gates is naturally not easy to shirk on this occasion.

After all, during this visit to China, he hoped to further coordinate the relationship between Microsoft and Yuxin Technology, and it was not good to lose the face of the host at the press conference.

Not to mention that this is an invitation from the president of Google.

Although Sundar Pichai naturally can't be compared with him in terms of status, after all, he is retired, and even if he doesn't call Microsoft's enemies, he still has to give face.

Of course, for this long-standing big man, this kind of scene has been seen a lot, and it is naturally impossible to have stage fright. After walking on stage, he naturally said hello to Wang Yufei.

"Hello Mr. Gates, I have been looking up to your name for a long time, as a new generation, I have learned about your life on the Internet, I admire you very much, and I am very happy that you can come to today's press conference. At the same time, thank you for hosting us when you were in the United States. ”

For the old-timers, Wang Yufei still shows great respect.

Although Windows is about to withdraw from the stage of history, Microsoft has also begun to start business transformation from the largest system service provider, to the development of short video business, and at present, it seems that the development is still very good, with the popularity of the overseas version of Lienyin, it has occupied a place in the field of short video.

But Wang Yufei feels that he can't deny the contributions made by these genius programmers of the older generation in the era when computers were just starting out.

Without Microsoft and Windows, modern Internet technology would be set back by at least a decade.

Although LUNIX is also a very good system, the threshold is still higher than that of windows.

And if the whole world had been occupied by Apple's IOS system before, God knows what the largest company in the universe could do.

Maybe the apple tax will be increased to 50 percent.

It is probably inevitable that the high Apple tax will affect the sales of hardware and software after passing it on to consumers.

In business models, price and penetration have always been inversely proportional.

So Wang Yufei really admires the old man in front of him.

Of course, Bill Gates didn't hold it up either.

In fact, when the Microsoft founder saw Wang Yufei, he inevitably remembered when he was young.

The two still have some things in common, such as being talented programmers.

Wang Yufei's talent in programming is no secret, and the fact that Apple paid a high price to buy out the second system from him has long been spread in Silicon Valley.

Not to mention the next Xin system.

Although it is said that when the Xin system was promoted at that time, the project leader hung the name of Gu Bingjun.

After all, Gu Bingjun is a Chinese engineer who has worked hard in Silicon Valley, although he has had successful experience in well-known companies such as IBM, everyone knows that he is good at the direction of being very familiar with the LUNIX system, as for designing a new system from scratch......

If Gu Bingjun really has this potential, IBM will not let him go even if he is given a hundred times his salary.

When it comes to talent, large companies in Silicon Valley are extremely willing to spend money.

Therefore, everyone knows that the infrastructure of the Xin system must have been designed by Wang Yufei himself, and Gu Bingjun was just a designer who was pushed to the front of the stage, and the work he did was probably to repair and maintain the Xin system, which is also the area that Gu Bingjun is good at.

So when facing Wang Yufei, Bill Gates behaved very humbly, after all, he felt that he could not compare with the achievements of this teenager.

The reason is simple, Wang Yufei is not only talented in programming, but also a mathematician and physicist recognized by the world academic community.

Solving the twin prime conjecture and proposing the three constant conjectures, coupled with the development of a quantum computer, will not be able to win the reputation of the father of a quantum computer in the future, and obtain this achievement at the age of eighteen or nineteen, even if Wang Yufei does nothing in the second half of his life, and directly listing Yuxin Technology in two years, it is enough for him to be the richest man in the world and eat his old book for a lifetime.

This is an achievement that Bill Gates has been busy for most of his life, but this guy in front of him has already achieved it before he is twenty years old, how dare he hold it up?

Especially the achievements that are now in front of him.

Quantum computers can be programmed autonomously.

Bill Gates is not the same as Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai in that they are sitting in positions and need to think about their own companies. Although as the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates will also consider these things, but after all, he has already sold Microsoft's shares, so when he is offstage, he is more from the perspective of a programmer to ponder the display just now.

It's so powerful!

If he was born in this era, he estimated that he would have to kneel down directly when he saw the efficiency of this kind of programming and the perfection of the program, and this technology was so strong that he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't rise to the courage to compete with this machine.

How far can a quantum computer do it?

Although a few years ago, Western quantum physicists put forward the term "quantum supremacy", even he did not expect that this quantum supremacy would be so terrifying and appear so quickly.

All of the above made Bill Gates feel a little flattered in the face of the respect shown by Wang Yufei. It's not as simple as the front wave crashing on the beach, if you don't be humble, this young man can make the front wave evaporate directly.

So Bill Gates put his posture very low.

"Mr. Wang is polite, I should feel honored to receive your invitation letter. ”

In this way, after a simple greeting, Bill Gates picked up his mobile phone, clicked on the interface of win10 according to the process, and began to seriously examine the program.

Bill Gates still looks at the software from a programmer's point of view.

Switching between systems is smooth.

The 12-second wait time doesn't seem too long, but the fact that it takes so little time to switch between the two systems shows that the software is thoroughly optimized and perfect.

After all, it is impossible to wait so long for a virtual machine to switch the system on the computer, although the system used on the computer is larger than the mobile phone system, but the performance of the computer hardware is also much stronger than that of the mobile phone.

In fact, Bill Gates really wanted to try this software on Apple computers, but since Tim Cook didn't do it, he didn't bother to do much.

The trial version of win10 has nothing to say,Apple mobile phones can be sought after in the market,Its products naturally have their uniqueness,After all, consumers are not blind,Even in terms of cost performance,Apple's hardware is not excellent,But its design and performance still have its advantages。

At least on this Apple phone, the software of win10 is very smooth.

Bill Gates used Bing, swiped the video, and specially downloaded a small mobile phone programming software hidden in the win10 mall to try it out, and there was no problem, so he put the phone back in its original place.

did not step down directly, the big man opened his mouth and exclaimed: "The program with a high degree of completion." If any of the programming requirements put forward to this notebook can be reached this level, there is probably not much need for the programmer profession, or some high-end positions can be retained?"

Bill Gates looked at Wang Yufei and asked.

Wang Yufei smiled and replied: "It depends on how the company's development direction is positioned, and how to think about it as the head of the company." As I said earlier, quantum computers will not be widespread anytime soon, and their computing power needs to be used to its advantage in more important places. Judging from the current situation, the production cycle of the same model of quantum computer in Yuxin Technology Laboratory is about half a year, and it does not have the conditions for mass production. ”

The meaning expressed is actually very simple, purely from a technical point of view, quantum computers can indeed replace the profession of programmers, but if you consider the difficulty of production of quantum computers and the preciousness of their computing power, at least in the short term, Yuxin Technology does not plan to lease the computing power of quantum computers.

This is probably the only expression of goodwill towards the programmer community today.

Of course, this is not particularly good news.

It is true that it is possible not to rent it out in the short term, but this trend has been set.

Now that we all know that computer programming has its unique advantages, there is no doubt that the world's scientific and technological development will definitely work in this direction in the future. In other words, even if you can keep your job in the short term, when there are more and more quantum computers, this problem will eventually have to be faced.

And Wang Yufei said very clearly, Yuxin Technology Laboratory can currently produce a quantum computer of the same model every six months, the implication is that although quantum computers are difficult to mass-produce, but at least with the current industrial level of the earth, if you have enough resources, it is not a big problem to produce dozens of units a year, will there be a shortage of computing power at that time?

Therefore, the key point of the problem is whether Yuxin Technology will license the technology.

If only one of Yuxin Technology's internal laboratories is used to produce this kind of quantum computer, at the production rate of two units per year, the profession of programmer will gradually die out in about ten years, but if the technology is licensed to ten or even twenty laboratories, each of which produces two units a year, or the entire industry can be declared cool in one or two years.

The thriller turns out to be here!
