True, the range of strikes was expanded.

Where is this new technology conference? This is simply a blow to the new generation of practitioners.

The first wave hit the new generation of currency bigwigs and investors, the second wave hit almost all visual effects companies in the world, and the third wave was even more ruthless.

If a quantum computer can even write its own operating system, hardware drivers, and Internet communication protocols, then what else needs people to do?

Does this mean that in the future, humans only need to do a good job as a product manager?

Researching customer needs, then making requirements for the computer, and finally the computer directly designing the software?

The bigwigs in the audience began to look at each other, and they couldn't judge what Wang Yufei said he could do.

But if it is true, this is indeed a redefinition of the entire industry chain. If quantum computers can really design and produce the most basic things of the Internet on their own, all the bosses attending this conference will really have to think carefully about how to keep up with the future.

......

Compared with the silence on the scene, the live barrage broke out directly after Wang Yufei said those words.

How many programmers are there in the world? Or software development practitioners?

This is an interesting question that has really been counted by the company.

Evans Data collected and counted this data last year.

According to their statistics and estimates, there were about 26.4 million people working in program development around the world in 2019.

Another statistic from IDC shows that the number of software developers worldwide in 2018 was 22.3 million, compared to 18.5 million in 2014.

Based on this, it is estimated that about 28 million people will be working in software development in 2020.

There are about 4.8 million software developers in the United States and 5.6 million in Europe, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world's total.

According to the recruitment information of similar positions in Huaxia and the statistics of employees, it is estimated that there are about 3 million software employees in Huaxia.

At this time, the point where the video barrage suddenly broke out is here.

Programmers are one of the most sensitive groups to industry dynamics, and God knows how many programmers are paying attention to this live broadcast at this time.

At the same time, generally speaking, netizens in first- and second-tier cities are more interested in major events in the technology industry, and most of the programmers in Huaxia are also concentrated in the first- and second-tier cities across the country, so the vast majority of netizens who watch the live broadcast do not know a friend who is engaged in the profession of programmer?

This kind of news that is directly related to the jobs of friends naturally has to complain about two sentences.

At the same time, because there is a high probability that they like to play programs are men and women who are not very interested in playing with words, so a very exciting scene appeared.

The word "slot" has become the main theme on the barrage, imagine the fear of the entire video being dominated by countless "slots".

The layers of "slots" are directly formed into a huge curtain, covering the entire video tightly.

It's as if you blindfold the hateful man in the video and act as if nothing happened.

If you really feel that these two words are not enough to describe the mood at this time, you can also add an exclamation point.

That's what Xie Wen did.

He used his perennial hand speed to spell out eight "slots" in two seconds, and each slot was very rigorous with an exclamation mark.

That's right, Xie Wen is a software development practitioner. He works in Xiaoli Baba, a well-known Internet company in China, and is already a middle and senior manager of P9, with his own team, responsible for the application architecture selection decision of the team with foresight. But at this moment, he couldn't help but burst into foul language.

Just listen to Wang Yufei's description, this is simply no way to live.

You must know that for the project at hand, the whole team is still working overtime in the company today, and in order to pay attention to the world's latest industry, he heard such a news on the computer live broadcast.

It's a lot of pressure!

After the eight "slots" were sent out, Xie Wen calmed down for a moment, looked up at the brothers and sisters who were working hard outside the office, and suddenly felt that this pressure could not be borne by himself at the moment, so he stood up and walked out of the office.

"Okay, let's stop, let's put down what we're doing, and let's all go to the conference room, I hope you can see something. ”

Everyone was stunned, didn't they say that the project was in a hurry?

But when the boss spoke, naturally no one objected, and they all stood up with a smile and walked towards the conference room.

Soon, more than 20 people in the team were sitting in the conference room, and Xie Wen had already connected his notebook to the projector in the conference room, and the first thing that appeared on the screen was a stunned close-up of Apple President Tim Cook in the audience.

Then the industry tycoon didn't know what to say to Smith next to him, so he stood up and walked towards the podium, and the camera followed Tim Cook until the apple walked to the stage and stood with a young man.

......

"Thank you, Mr. Cook, again for being here today, and thank you for once again cooperating with me today to demonstrate the genius of quantum computers in programming. ”

On the podium, Wang Yufei said to Tim Cook.

That's right, the launch event is once again in everyone's favorite demo session.

As Wang Yufei said at the beginning, at present, quantum computers do not have the conditions for large-scale popularization, and for most ordinary people, quantum computers are not used in real daily life, but their lives may change passively.

This also determines that this conference cannot be like a product such as a mobile phone conference, only need to introduce new features, and then wait until the official sale after the conference, everyone can pay to buy it at home to experience.

So just by saying, it's not so convincing after all.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on live demonstrations.

And it's also important to find someone to assist, and it's easy to find someone at random to make people think that this guy is not trusting?

But characters like Tim Cook or Smith are different.

After all, the identity and status are there, even if it is really a trust, there is a high probability that no one will believe it, what kind of temptation can make this kind of competing boss take the initiative to give Wang Yufei as a trust?

Although the relationship between the two sides is good on the surface, it is nothing more.

Even if someone says that Tim Cook actually wants Wang Yufei's life, some people believe it.

It is true that now Apple has been allowed to use brain-computer chips and carry the Xin system for sale, but after losing IOS, Apple seems to have lost its soul, compared with other brands of smartphones, what is the difference?

A-series CPUs?

What's even more terrifying is that whether it is Samsung, or Weihua or Rice, they have all seen the market prospects, and have put forward higher requirements for product OEMs, and have begun to keep up with Apple.

As a result, Apple is no longer afraid to pay a premium for launching new phones.

Not only did they not dare to pay a premium, but even the new machine had to secretly reduce the price.

It's really embarrassing.

Apple has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and has always been known for its value preservation, and every year it is not sold more expensive than the previous generation of products, that is all in the face of fruit powder, who to look down on? If it is sold cheaply, is it still called Apple?

But now it's a lot of pressure.

The local market has been robbed of about 30% of the market under the dual pressure of Samsung and Weihua, and the Huaxia market is even worse, because Samsung and domestic brands respond faster, at least three months earlier than Apple, all products support the Xin system.

AND WHEN APPLE IS STILL USING 14NM PROCESS BRAIN-COMPUTER CHIPS, COMPETITORS HAVE USED 7NM PROCESS BRAIN-COMPUTER CHIPS, AND APPLE'S VAIN ATTEMPT TO INSIST ON IOS WASTED A LARGE NUMBER OF PRODUCTS FOR THREE WHOLE MONTHS, AND FINALLY GAVE UP MOST OF THE CHINESE MARKET.

By the time the board finally found out that the situation was wrong this year, Tim Cook could give it a go and began to take the initiative to cooperate with Changxiang Technology without reservation, and mobile phone sales have dropped a lot.

Coupled with the dare not to sell at a high price, the first three quarters of this year's revenue have seen a sharp decline year-on-year and month-on-month, and the profit is less than expected, which is naturally reflected in the stock market.

In the past, the first U.S. stock hegemon to break through one trillion and two trillion yuan has now fallen to $1.2 trillion.

The market value of 80 million has disappeared, and the wealth of countless Apple shareholders, including Tim Cook, has shrunk by nearly one-third this year.

Just because of the rise of Huaxia Technology Company under Wang Yufei's name, it seems that Apple's hegemony in the industry will be lost overnight, who do you say will believe that Tim Cook will be a trust to his enemies?

With a smile on his face and an MMP in his heart, it is estimated that this is the true portrayal of the big guy's heart.

Of course, Wang Yufei definitely didn't care what the big guy thought in his heart, but just put forward the requirements that needed to be cooperated step by step.

"So Mr. Cook, I hope to get your help with today's presentation. It's actually very simple, I want you to make a cameo as a product manager, into the microphone in front of you, and ask our quantum computer a software requirement that you expect and can implement on an iPhone or Apple computer, and let our quantum computer try it out to see if it can meet your requirements. “

Wang Yufei said fluently in English.

Then he thoughtfully translated his request in Chinese, just in time to give Tim Cook on stage time to react.

"Wait, Mr. Wang, I only need to use natural language when I make a request, just like I usually speak?"

"Yes, Mr. Cook, it's enough to use natural language and describe in as much detail as possible what you want to implement on your Apple computer or phone. Of course, the premise is that it can't go beyond the scope of hardware support. ”

"Does that mean that as long as I think the hardware can support the software product, I can bring it up now?" asked Tim Cook again.

Wang Yufei nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes!"

There was an uproar in the front row of the audience.

If when the Xin system was released, the shock brought to everyone by minimalist programming was 100, then the dialogue between Wang Yufei and Tim Cook at this moment brought these bigwigs 10,000.

Especially Sundar Pichai.

Is this what a quantum computer can do?

First of all, this automatic computer programming has broken through the constraints of format.

You must know that although minimalist programming has been rated as the smartest programming software at that time, it also needs to be formatted.

The format is the rules and regulations that are defined by the software.

But this time, he only needs to say his needs to the quantum computer as he normally would, which means that Wang Yufei believes that the quantum computer can really understand these needs, to be exact, the needs described in natural language!

If this is true, then there is no doubt that this is definitely a cross-century advance in artificial intelligence.

And this is probably true, if it had not been tested before, such a difficult demonstration would not have been able to be put on such a grand launch.

In other words, the joke was really big.

Secondly, Wang Yufei asked Tim Cook to propose a software feature that he very much hopes to implement on Apple computers and iPhones, in other words, a function that Apple currently wants to implement in its products, but cannot achieve it yet.

Apple has about 130,000 employees worldwide, of which at least one-third are software development engineers, about 40,000 people. And the software engineers who can be hired by Apple are definitely the best in the industry.

Therefore, Wang Yufei's demonstration can also be explained as a problem that Apple's more than 40,000 software R&D engineers have not been able to solve for a long time, and he is confident that the quantum computer designed and produced by himself can be solved in today's press conference demonstration session.

This joke is really too big.

If all of this is true, the CEOs of the tech companies in the audience really need to consider whether it is necessary to pay their tens of thousands of code farmers.

When their software engineers are much slower than the speed of machines in terms of ability and software development, the choice of the company under the leadership of capital is simply not a matter of thought.

Taking Apple as an example, the average employment cost of 40,000 software engineers is at least $250,000, but after owning the same type of quantum computer, it will save the company at least $10 billion a year.

Ten billion!

Who is not a capitalist?

Of course, it is definitely not only the front-row bigwigs at the press conference who are boiling at this time.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, under the influence of the Internet, the whole world is boiling!

The barrage on the webcast platform is frantically refreshed at a rate of thousands per second, and if it weren't for the fact that the popularity of this conference had been estimated, the server would have crashed long ago.

People who want to watch the press conference seriously can't open a barrage at all.

Even if the algorithm isolates most of the meaningless barrage, the overwhelming spit will still cover the entire screen.

If you suddenly want to open the barrage when you see half of it, it is likely to make the machine freeze for a long time.

Its popularity is definitely not only reflected in the barrage!

At this moment, God knows how many wine glasses have been broken, how many people are cursing wildly, and how many people are in a state of confusion.

For example, Xie Wen.

Everyone's gaze in the room was a little glazed.

A moment later, a voice broke the eerie silence.

"The big boss seems to have been invited, just at the press conference!"

"Huh?"

"Ahh
