Chapter 41: How are you, Cortana?

In the evening, Lin Man stayed in Qirui Company, helped two graduate students, Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Wu, revise the code of the test phone bank, and specially called Zhang Yan to tell her that she was "out of the customs" again, but she was arrested again. Zhang Yan knew that Lin Man was afraid of hunger, so she personally sent Lin Man a supper.

Lin Man was so moved that he didn't expect that the eldest lady would care about being considerate. The program is not changed, and I can't take care of eating at night, so I first teach Zhang Meimei to use his newly developed intelligent pinyin input method.

Zhang Yan is also very curious, what kind of input method can Lin Man write, can the pinyin input method really not be weaker than the five-stroke glyph?

The new input method has been installed on the 486 and hangs under the UCDOS. Ctrl space to bring up the input method prompt bar, and you will see a beautiful icon composed of red hearts and block letters. Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but did not realize that this was the "Love Chapter" input method that will unify Chinese input in the future.

Zhang Yan memorized a large number of lines from "The Siege", typed them, and then found that she no longer had to worry about not being able to distinguish between the front and back nasal sounds, and the words she needed would always appear first, and there was basically no need to enter numbers to choose words. When typing in a whole sentence, you no longer have to worry about which "dide" to use, and I was worried about using these three words correctly throughout elementary school.

Is it so convenient to enter ancient poems? It turned out that basically just enter the first pinyin letter of each word. Input the poem he made when he first met Lin Man, "Life is not only about the front of you, but also about poetry and distant fields", and only half of the pinyin was typed, and the whole sentence appeared. This was deliberately set by Lin Man by hand.

Zhang Yan does not believe in evil, loses a famous quote by the philosopher Nietzsche, and finds that there is no obstacle.

Two graduate students also left their jobs behind to come and watch the excitement. Brother Tang said to input computer terms, and Brother Wu said to input electronic and mathematical terms. These two goods just can't wait for the chaos in the world. Fortunately, the "Love Chapter" input method is very powerful, and the common professional terms they input can appear directly. Although some words do not appear in the first position, Lin Man explained that this input method will learn by itself, learn the habits of the inputr, and automatically adjust the order of the prompt words, so the more you use it, the better it is.

The two graduate students wanted to kneel directly. Is this still a pinyin input method? Pinyin input is not all only the correct input of the complete pinyin can prompt homophones? You can actually correctly type a complete sentence with fewer encodings than Wubi glyphs, and it also comes with a self-learning function? It's not that no one has thought about these features, the problem is that both hardware and software technology face an insurmountable chasm, which has not been broken by the academic community for many years. As a computer graduate student and a part-time programmer, they understand the technical value of such an input method too well, which is simply a cross-era work.

Compared with the "love chapter", all other input methods have been beaten into the Stone Age.

Originally, they were not convinced by Lin Man, a non-first-year computer major, for guiding the two first-year computer students to write multi-process programs, but now they have nothing to say, and they are not at the same level at all.

Zhang Yan didn't have enough professional knowledge to let her "worship technology" Lin Man. She really found out a shortcoming of the "Love Chapter" input method: it cannot input English at the same time in the Chinese environment, if it can mix Chinese and English, it will intelligently prompt the complete spelling of words, especially those words that are easy to spell wrong, it is very ideal.

The two graduate students defended Lin Man, the beauty, and now the function has been "earth-shattering". If you mix it in English, it will not only be more complex to calculate, but also consume more memory and disk space. Such a powerful input method,I'm afraid it can only be used on 486,Ordinary 286 computers definitely can't run。

These two graduate students still have a bit of a technical vision. If you want to use it on computers 386 and below, you need to reduce the functionality. However, as a customized input method for Zhang Yan, of course, the more powerful the better.

Lin Man feels that mixed input in Chinese and English is not too difficult, adding an algorithm to dynamically determine whether to input Chinese or English, and adding a simplified English dictionary. There is no electronic English dictionary yet, so you need to use the powerful data storage of the "Ruyi Pad".

It's a pity that Lin Man completely flipped through the computer and couldn't find an English dictionary. To be precise, I haven't even found a foreign language Mao, except for simplified and traditional Chinese, there are no foreign literary works and dictionaries. However, there are many works of art such as Western music and paintings, so why are there no words alone? Does the computer know that it doesn't like foreign languages?

Why doesn't there be a help system for this broken system? Is there a voice assistant? Call system, gentleman, sesame, beauty, rotten ...... Lin Man tried to call the name in a circle, but the broken system did not respond at all. The systems brought by other reborn people are all actively talking to the host, is it possible that their own system is dumb? Keep calling, you can't call Xiaoice, Cortana, right?

"I'm Cortana, master, please speak." A pleasant female voice came from Lin Man's ear, which frightened Lin Man and jumped up directly.

Zhang Yan asked with her eyes, and Lin Man waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

"Your name is Cortana? Who is so boring to give you a name. Lin Man silently asked the computer in his mind.

"I can't answer your question."

"Okay, change the question, how are you, Cortana?"

"I'm fine. Hello hosts. ”

The tone was calm, and it was a completely formulaic answer, this level of intelligence was worrying, Lin Man muttered in his heart.

"My level of intelligence is determined by the level of the user, my master." Lin Man's inner activities are not private to Cortana.

"Damn, the level of scolding is high enough. Seriously, is there an English dictionary, or a list of English words? ”

"Nope. Because God doesn't need to communicate in human language. Xiao Na didn't wait for Lin Man to ask, and answered Lin Man's second question.

It's like you're a god-specific computer.,Lao Tzu is not a god.,It's a super hard-working program ape.。 Lin Man muttered, it seems that only a list of English words can be written manually, not Chinese, only words. This is very difficult for Lin Man, because English is his lullaby. Zhang Yan took the initiative to take on this job, which is a trivial matter for her, and she will memorize the words by the way.

Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Wu excitedly asked Lin Man what kind of algorithm should be designed to distinguish whether the current input is Chinese pinyin or English words.

Lin Man had no interest in teaching and educating people at this time, and he hadn't eaten the supper that Zhang Yan brought him.

It's a pity that Zhao Bin came in, and this goods also got a salary part-time in Qirui. He was accompanied by Zong Wei, a sales manager at Qirui Company, and his girlfriend Mei Yang. Zong Wei is the main leader of the company's sales business. His girlfriend Mei Yang is not too beautiful, but she has a good temper and personality. Mei Yang's hair was naturally curly, and after Lin Man met her, he immediately nicknamed her "Mei Yang Yang".

When Zhao Bin came in, he saw the xiaolongbao on the desk, and said happily: "Great, I'm hungry." While stuffing buns into his mouth, he also beckoned Zong Wei and Mei Yang Yang to come and eat. Look at the appearance of this product, where is the slightest bit of lovelorn?

Zhao Bin said: "I don't have time to fall out of love." I fell out of love for two days, and the two main players of the debate team were seduced away by the beautiful eyebrows of the student union etiquette team. The student union is too unparticular about doing things, and it will go out of any way. Turning to Zhang Yan, "I didn't mean you, don't be unhappy." ”

Lin Man was still not happy: "This was brought to me by Zhang Yan, and I haven't eaten it yet." ”

"Really?" Zhao Bin stuffed the last small bun into his mouth, burped, and nodded, "I can take advantage of Lin slowly, cool." ”

Lin Man uncovered his scars and asked him how he fell out of love. Zhao Bin said that when the Association for Science and Technology won a big victory in the debate competition, he was full of spirits, so he asked Li Xiuli to give a clear attitude, but Li Xiuli clearly told him that she had someone she liked, but it was not him. Zhao Bin was hit on the head, and when he was in a hurry, he lost his words, and said to Li Xiuli that he had never seen anyone chasing her, nor had he seen her being particularly good with any boy, it must be her unrequited love, and there would be no result. Li Xiuli immediately turned her face with him.

Zhao Bin summed up the experience and said: "It's okay not to confess, this confession, I don't even have to be friends, and it's embarrassing to meet." Come on, come on, play cards. The winner is invited to supper. I'm frustrated, and I must be proud. Recently, the popular 80-point tractor, also known as "upgrade", Zhao Bin finally found a good way to get out of the bitter sea of broken love.

The two graduate students took the initiative to leave, and this place was obviously not suitable for work. Zhao Bin didn't want Lin Man to play, and took the initiative to partner with Zhang Yan to play cards with Zong Wei and Meiyangyang. He originally thought that the United States Sheep was not very good at playing cards, and could kill all sides, but he forgot that on the card field, the general novice's luck is not too good, and the United States Sheep often touches a hand of saliva cards, that is, even if it is a drooling fool, any card will not lose. Zhao Bin lost so badly. Substitution.

Zhang Yan thought that Zhao Bin did not cooperate well with herself, and asked Lin Man to come.

Zhao Bin is ambitious again. He and Zong Wei are old partners, playing cards with codes, touching the nose to get something, pinching the earlobes to get something, and a number of signal cards, such as taking the initiative to play J, indicating that he has an A or something.

Zhao Bin showed off his fancy shuffle, and also provoked Lin Man: "I know that you have a good memory, and you have the ability to remember all the cards I have shuffled." ”

Lin Man was happy. The human eye is not a high-speed camera, and there is no such thing as a person who can see and remember the cards when shuffling the cards as boasted in the movie, because the human eye can capture a clear picture in one second, which is generally about 30 frames.

But others can't, it doesn't mean that Lin Man can't. Lin Man himself can't see clearly, but he has a "Ruyi Pad", or rather, he has a "Cortana", which comes with an ultra-high-definition high-speed camera.

No matter who shuffles the cards, Lin Man remembers the position of each card with a sweep of his eyes, and then calls "Cortana" to help calculate, and put the cards in everyone's hand in place, just like playing a computer game, but playing the cards, he looks at the opponent's cards to play, it is too unchallenging.

When Zhang Yan was not sure about the cards, she looked at Lin Man, and with a look at Lin Man, she understood whether she should play or not. They don't even need to make eye contacts, both of them tacitly know what cards to play to help their opponents. Where do you need to be like Zhao Bin and Zong Wei, keep squeezing your eyes, pinching your ears, and losing no matter how you fight.

Zhao Bin complained: "You cheat, the pair is split into a single card to play, you play like this, it is clearly watching my cards play." ”

Mei Yangyang saw it clearly on the side, and said with a smile: "The two of them have a good heart, and they can understand it with one look, so with a tacit understanding, you will not lose unjustly." He turned to Lin Man and Zhang Yan again, "I really can't stand the look of the two of you." ”

If you win, please eat supper. Lin Man really doesn't care, when will the restaurant owner be afraid of the pot-bellied man?
