Even if Alice rarely intervenes, but has months of time to create on her own, the hardware experts are enough to build a high-end ternary mainframe computer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thanks to the towering beams, the computer box can be three meters high, and twelve huge guys are lined up together, like the refrigerator market of Avatar. It is precisely because there are not a few offices that have lost the empty money of the institute that they can give the geeks on the third floor the opportunity to make a big move.

They have given this new baby a funny name - Apocalypse. For no other reason, everyone has read Asimov's robot series, and knows that the ternary algorithm is very close to human. Whether the current small achievements will become devastating weapons in the future is anyone's guess.

"Of course, we can't expect to create a finisher right away. ”

Looking at the flashing working lights of this ternary computer, Alice smiled: "The calculation speed is still easy to solve, the key is the development of genetic algorithms." After all, the fundamental difference between terminators and non-terminators is not how powerful their computers are, but the problem of program mode. ”

Standing in this office at the moment is the entire institute of programmers. Sixty-five people were all around Harry, because it was really big news.

"Harry, you must be a robot from the future, right? This is a ternary from scratch, I'm tired of making up a snake, and you actually copied the genetic algorithm!?"

"Harry, we're an office. Tell me honestly, why do I ask you so many times what you're working on, and you're just talking about making up games!?"

"'Apocalypse' has been calculated for so long and still hasn't come out? Boss Neo, what did you give him?"

"It's the same genetic algorithm, and the performance of a version written with ternary code running a ternary computer is definitely not the same. Boss Neo, do you have any plans for the next steps, or should we all work on this project together?"

Leaving the big guy in the drumbu, Alice just waited for the 'apocalypse' operation to end.

In terms of single-person efficiency, no one can type the keyboard as fast as Alice, and before she could call all the friends in the building, she had already started the calculation. The people who just arrived are still stuck in the matter of "Harry made up a genetic algorithm using the ternary", as for what is Alice doing with it...... Who has time to know?

Then, with a thud, the answer came out.

Everyone flocked to the main console, and of course, everyone had to make way for Alice.

The picture was actually chosen, and Alice smiled with satisfaction.

Harry stood side by side with her in front of the monitor, with the people around her, their faces reflected on the screen.

Alice's experiment was simple - from 7,200 images, sift through all of Harry's selfies.

Well, yes, 72,000 photographs of all kinds, and all the ones that have the figure of "Harry Puness" in them, all of them.

"Well, I know it's not just about genetic algorithms anymore. Seeing everyone's different expressions, Alice shrugged and said: "Screening photos is related to another algorithm, but the genetic algorithm is singular in its learning ability, I used a simple nested structure, so it is equivalent to two experiments at a time." ”

And now, as it turned out, it was all successful.

The genetic algorithm easily "learned" Alice's nested photo filtering algorithm, and then framed the kernel and searched for more than 70,000 photos of Mr. Harry Puness.

As for Alice, she didn't know when she came up with a new algorithm, and it was also based on the ternary problem...... Hawkers, is she Alice, everyone is very calm.

"It's two experiments, and it's one experiment at the same time. ”

One programmer said, "Genetic algorithms are like IQ, and the new algorithm that Alice just invented is specifically solving a problem, such as using pliers instead of a stone to break a walnut shell, and then the computer is trying to eat the walnut animal." If there is no genetic algorithm, even if this little guy can finally learn to use pliers, it will have to take a long time!"

One comrade answered the point, and the other immediately followed: "Then, our 'apocalypse' itself is a ternary principle, compared to ordinary binary, like the brain capacity of an orangutan and a squirrel!"

This analogy is not very appropriate, because the base system itself is only a principle, and as a computer, its "speed of understanding" is also closely related to the computing power of the hardware. Ternary, genetic algorithm, and image screening algorithm correspond to brain capacity, IQ, and learning to use pliers, respectively, so who should be paired with the CPU computing speed in the hardware field......?

Harry looked around, then at himself on the screen, who was showing affection to his girlfriend, and said, "Boss, I think I really have to ask you a question, this is a ternary system, and a genetic algorithm, how should we develop in the future?"

Unlike everyone else, Alice is a 21st-century veteran. All kinds of scientists have published artificial intelligence threat theories with various expressions of existence, and she has long been tired of reading those articles, and the brains of her companions at this time are completely in her expectations.

"Guys......"

Standing in front of the monitor, looking at the various Harry selfies on the screen, she chuckled, "I know where you're all going, but like I said, we're still far from Cameron's Terminator, let alone Asimov's robots." If you have the time to think about those problems, it is better to develop them in a down-to-earth and honest manner first, which will be a headache in the future. ”

"But ......"

"But, Harry is right, our current research project is really important. ”

Alice turned to look at the sixty or so programmers in the room.

Thanks to the sheer size of this office, even with twelve Avatar's three-meter-high "refrigerators", it would not be too many people in two middle school classes to huddle together.

"We all know what the core theme of this institute is. "Triplex research, yes, is our fundamental goal while you're each developing your own brains and fiddling up ideas like solid-state drives and universal serial buses," she said. And now, apparently, while we already have the Apocalypse, Harry has transplanted the genetic algorithm. ”

"That's right, guys, Harry's accomplishment is very important. Purely in terms of computer hardware, the ternary system is not too difficult, that is, a pair of positives and then zero, and the design of a new circuit board is, but the algorithm is the thing that really points to the core - Asimov or Cameron, the robot is not terrible in how fast its CPU calculates, but in whether it can think like a human. The soul, that is, the software, is the fundamental core!"

"However, there is a process for robots to have human intelligence, and the thinking ability of six-year-old children and eighteen-year-old adults is different. Therefore, if it is really ternary hardware, it is indeed dangerous to combine it with a ternary genetic algorithm. One positive and one pair and then zero, one-to-one or one unknown, this combination does have the potential to make an ignorant artificial intelligence really become a human existence at the same level - as far as theory is concerned. ”

The words are simply a rhythm that is going to scare people to death, and all the compatriots present are also frightened in their own way. The guys in the software department on the fourth floor all stared at Harry as if he were the one who had opened Pandora's box, and the engineers in the hardware department on the third floor looked at each other, because they had built the "Apocalypse" step by step.

"It's necessary for us to sign a non-disclosure agreement, yes guys, and another one, Harry's genetic algorithm must not be leaked. ”

Alice said seriously: "We engineers are well aware of the potential dangers of this technology, but politicians are different. Everyone can imagine that once we hear that the 'Terminator and Skynet' will not be born in thirty or fifty years, the Ministry of Defense will definitely give a death order for us to develop it. I'm not afraid that the Terminator will appear, but I'm afraid that Pandora's Box will be in the hands of someone who shouldn't be in control, right?"

Alice knew exactly who she was talking to.

To say that everyone present is just a group of simple company employees, she has now 100% of the thoughts of killing people.

But if it's a group of lawless folk hackers......

"The Boss is right!"

Not far away, a guy from the hardware department said: "Whether it's the U.S. government, the British government, or the government of any country or power, we must not leak the information! I said guys, none of you want to leak it, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst out laughing.

"Leaking? Just kidding! Can the NSA give us the salary the boss gave us? Besides, which bank do I really want to get some money from, isn't it like a joke?"

"I guess who just gave this algorithm to the Pentagon on the front foot, and was assassinated by the FBI on the back foot......, right?

"Boss, the non-disclosure agreement has been resigned, and you'd better hurry up and do something else. Harry spoke: "Brothers, there will be no problem, but the research institute downstairs is quite crowded, and there are security guards ......"

The security guards were good enough to say that Alice had certainly "cheated" to check their background identities and loyalty. There must be something in the whole black water, but just the people here. No one was sent by the military in hiding, and security was not an issue.

"First of all, let's improve the access control system, I will find a way to take relevant measures, and everything will come step by step. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, she clapped her hands and said, "Let's go our own way, Harry, and then you come with me." ”
