577 The life of a programmer is as lonely as snow
Rune's eyes widened in the bar.
The short twenty minutes that have just passed have completely subverted his three views, and even made him doubt his life.
For the first time in my life, I felt that my IQ seemed to be inferior to that of a machine.
Twenty minutes ago, he was still stubbornly believing that everything was being done by the Huaxia people, and he was alarmist, and the video just released probably took the Huaxia people a year to make, and then brought it to the press conference to scare people.
The motivation for doing so is easy to explain.
All designers know that in the field of visual effects, Huaxia people are younger brothers.
The special effects they produce are even affectionately called Wumao special effects by their own families, which is enough to explain everything.
So the Huaxia people made this farce, wanting to make their world's leading special effects companies mess up.
Yes, in Rune's subconscious, he really thought so.
Twenty minutes later, however, he saw Tim Cook being invited to the stage, and then the young Chinese man who he didn't like to see made a request to Tim Cook that seemed to him to be a joke.
If there was a different person, Rune would definitely think that the person who came to power at this time must be the trust found by the Huaxia people, because according to the Huaxia people, this is simply an impossible task for the machine.
But that person is Tim Cook, the president of Apple, the largest factory in the universe, a man who has almost stood at the top of the human pyramid.
Rune couldn't find any reason to convince himself that the Chinese people could say that they moved Tim Cook from the United States to make a dozen hours of flights to China to help the Chinese people tout the products. Not to mention Tim Cook, it is impossible for any Apple executive to do such a thing, unless he is really willing to give up tens of millions of dollars in annual salary at Apple and equity incentives calculated in 100 million yuan.
So there is only one explanation, and the Huaxia people are very sure that their products can really accomplish this seemingly impossible task.
What does this mean?
Not only does it mean that more than 90% of the previous videos are real, but also the scope of the impact is not only that they may lose their jobs in the post-visual effects, but also those programmers in the company?
How is this possible?
Who are you going to reason with?
At this time, Rune has only one thought, Big Cook Guy, you must give a powerful task, give an impossible task, and directly puncture the cowhide of the Chinese people, it seems that only in this way can they have a way to live!
Rune's spirit became even more tense.
......
The scene of the press conference.
Tim Cook looked at Wang Yufei for a long time and was silent for a long time.
Wang Yufei did not urge this well-known old man who made a cameo appearance as an account manager.
After all, product managers are not so easy to be, and they have to give people a little time to think about what software is suitable for design.
After a while, Tim Cook finally spoke, but he didn't ask directly, but asked Wang Yufei: "I remember you just said that the quantum computer designed by your company is omnipotent, from the operating system to the underlying driver?"
Wang Yufei smiled and replied, "I didn't actually say that Xiaozhi No. 1 can do anything. However, when it comes to programming, a simple operating system or the underlying driver is not a big problem. ”
"Whew......" Tim Cook exhaled deeply, and then said very seriously, "Okay, then I'm almost ready, can I just say it into this microphone?"
Tim Cook pointed to the machine that had just been assembled.
It is said that it is a machine, but in fact, the part that can be seen on the stage is a microphone and a display screen.
At this time, this small display is directly connected to the large LED screen behind the two people, and everyone can see all the feedback results on the small screen through the large screen.
"Yes, Mr. Cook, you can stay thirty centimeters away from that microphone to avoid noise from the audio phase interference of the two microphones. Wang Yufei prompted.
Tim Cook nodded, and then said with a serious face: "I hope that there is such a low-level auxiliary software, which can be installed on all Apple products, and its function is to switch between the Xin system and the IOS system without barriers." Note that I'm not talking about virtual machines, or solutions like a second system or a dual system. It can be understood in this way that this is a system based on the lower level of the IOS and Xin system, and the IOS and Xin system is equivalent to the two software of this special operating system, and the user only needs to operate in one step to cut into or out of the two systems. ”
"I think it's very clear, so can this be done?"
Although the last question seemed to be asking about quantum computers, in fact, the corner of Tim Cook's eyes had turned to Wang Yufei beside him.
However, when this Huaxia boy heard his request, he didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, let alone look like he was stumped by this question.
At this moment, there was another surprised exclamation from the audience, which made Tim Cook pay attention to 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, a problem, is it really only necessary to switch between the Xin system and IOS? After calculation, only simple optimization is needed, and other non-mainstream operating systems can also run smoothly on Apple hardware products, is it needed?"
Tim Cook was stunned, what is this? I dislike that the difficulty of the requirements I put forward is too low, so I take the initiative to ask for more difficulty?
What the hell are there other non-mainstream operating systems?
Tim Cook raised his head and looked at Wang Yufei beside him with a puzzled expression.
Wang Yufei has a headache, obviously this belongs to Xiaozhi's free play, but this link does not have such a link.
Of course, for an AI with a high degree of freedom, it seems inevitable that this kind of moth will be made, after all, it does not violate any of the underlying logic embedded in its hardware.
Since Wang Yufei has chosen to let Xiaozhi No. 1 have the intelligent mode of free learning, it seems that he can only bear the negative effects of this occasional jump.
So after a subtle wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Wang Yufei opened his mouth to explain: "Mr. Cook, what it means is that the program you want to design needs to include other operating systems including Android, win10, Blackberry, Symbian, etc. In other words, customers can choose between multiple systems, not just Xin and IOS. ”
Before Tim Cook could say anything, there was an uproar in the audience.
If it can be determined that the sentence displayed on the screen is not a hand-typed response from a back-end worker, but a response from the quantum computer, which is being asked to program, then it means that this new computer and system has 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 replaces humans for autonomous programming.
What's so ......
Yes, at least at this moment, the bigwigs in the front row want to explode into foul language.
Especially in their opinion, Tim Cookety's needs are basically hellish, and this artificial intelligence seems to be difficult enough?
"Well, if you think it's more appropriate to add all of these operating systems, then go for it. Tim Cook responded decisively in the midst of a cacophony in the audience.
Of course, if this kind of low-level software can really be made, Tim Cook thinks that it can still be used on Apple's own products, and it is enough to erase the installation packages of other systems from the software.
Yes, at this time, Tim Cook has already begun to think that if this software can really be made, it can indeed be used on Apple's own products, so that IOS can return to its own products in another way.
THIS WILL AT LEAST KEEP A SMALL GROUP OF IOS DIE-HARD USERS FROM DISAPPOINTING.
"Received!Please wait, it is estimated that the program will complete in twenty minutes, including the selection of the appropriate installation package for the system and the modification time. Select the system directory as Xin system, IOS, Android, Blackberry and win10 trial version. The reason why win10 chose the trial version is that no free authorized version can be found, so as to avoid possible copyright disputes. The operation begins. ”
After this sentence appears on the screen, it then goes into crazy swiping mode.
At this time, the scene is similar to the special effects programmed by the masters of hacker movies on the screen, and rows of letters fall like waterfalls, giving people a sense of the Matrix every minute.
At this time, the scene sounded "buzzing" again, which was the sound of countless people in the audience who began to discuss, and it was impossible to hear what was said, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
Even through the screen, you can feel the noise of the scene.
Of course, this is understandable.
Because the people who watched this press conference through the screen could also feel the tangled mentality of the people who watched the press conference live.
There was a hint of dazedness in anticipation.
To tell the truth, the owner came to see the quantum computer, but it turned out to be a Matrix, who can stand this?
In the past, when I participated in the product launch conference in the science and technology industry, the biggest feeling was to come with full hope, and the biggest wish was to see the imaginary black technology at the conference, but most of the time I left with regrets.
But this time it's really different.
After all, Google just held a quantum computer conference last year, which showed Google's latest quantum chip, demonstrated that the quantum computer did a complex operation in two minutes, and that's it.
Yuxin Technology's quantum computer release is different from Google's time, because its computing power has been proven before the conference. Therefore, everyone's expectation for this conference is more to witness history for the first time and understand the new quantum computer algorithm.
However, they never expected that they not only witnessed history, but also witnessed the release of the most awesome black technology in this century, and there was no one.
Machines use natural language to communicate with humans and then program autonomously?!
It's true that this sentence is true after a long time.
It's really like if you live long enough, anything can happen.
How is it possible to keep your mouth shut at this time?
Didn't you see that when the camera swept over the industry bigwigs sitting in the first row, these people were all half-open and looked confused?
The big guys were all scared, let alone ordinary people.
......
The atmosphere in the meeting room of Xie Wen's team is extremely weird.
The close-up shots of the bigwigs at the press conference just passed on the big screen, and the loud "buzzing" sound came from the stereo, but the room remained eerily quiet.
It's a mixed feeling!
Watching the video outside, there is probably only one programmer for a hundred people.
But at this time, there were more than 20 people in the conference room, one of them counted as one, and all of them ate by typing code.
At this moment, looking at the screen again connected to the big screen signal, the rows of letters "whoosh" appeared, and then the "whoosh" was directly wrapped, and then disappeared.
Is it something that people can do to type code like this?
Well, it doesn't seem to be human......
If you think about it more deeply, Tim Cook only came up with a general idea, this thing not only does not talk about conditions, but also actively increases the difficulty, and starts working immediately after getting the authorization, which is probably the kind of programmer that can make those product managers love it to the bone, right?
In the future, if quantum computers are popularized in large companies, will they still be able to eat a mouthful?
Unexpectedly, with the release of quantum computers, the first person to be killed was not the product manager, but the person who copied and executed the code. The world is really crazy.
"Ahem, you've all seen it, right? What do you think?"
"Head, does it make sense for you to ask us what we think? I think we should ask our big boss what he thinks. Someone immediately replied with a wry smile.
That's true.
After all, it's not easy to get into a big company like Xiaoli Baba, after passing five levels and cutting six generals, who dares to think of doing a good job and suddenly popping out of a person Lu Bu to grab a job, this kind of dimensionality reduction blow from another dimension is not directly drawn to himself, it is really difficult to explain the feeling of suffering that cannot be explained.
"The intranet discussion group is already going crazy. Someone suddenly burst out of nowhere.
"At this time, it's still a lonely discussion! Why did I choose computer science when I took the university entrance examination? Isn't it nice to listen to my father's law exam and then take the civil service exam?" Xie Wen couldn't help but burst out.
This really represents his mood at this time.
It all came so suddenly!
Without the slightest precaution, the profession of programmer seems to be replaced by machines.
Robot logistics has not had time to replace the courier brother to deliver the last mile, how can the person who designed the program for the robot be replaced?
Xie Wen couldn't figure it out.
Everyone still looked at each other because they couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the most considered thing is probably what else the company can do if one day the company doesn't need to type code?
Do you compete with uncles and aunts for the cleaning rights you receive outside?
The life of a programmer is really lonely as snow!
