234th pressure

What kind of future would it be if the Spring and Autumn Translation erased the language segregation, and people from China to the United Kingdom, Canada to Argentina, and people from all over the world could communicate freely? Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad, but it's certainly not what it is today.

Thinking of the uncontrollable future, Ji Susu couldn't help but show a hint of longing.

In five years of primary school and six years of middle school, Ji Susu's vision was trapped in the small county town of Wuping, and he felt strange when he saw the computers in the Internet café; During her four-year college career, Ji Susu opened her eyes to the world in Yanjing, and realized what kind of era she lived in; When it comes to Spring and Autumn Search, whether it is the brain-computer fusion project or the logical language homonym of the natural language processing branch, it is at the forefront of the times, and Ji Susu clearly smells a trace of the future.

Middle school is the past, college is the present, and spring and autumn search is the future.

Ji Susu vaguely realized that the Spring and Autumn search had changed her no less than four years of undergraduate.

Time moves forward, and Ji Susu stumbles to adapt to the work rules that are completely different from the school. Ji Susu took over the task, namely the brain-computer fusion project that Wei Dongsheng focused on and the Spring and Autumn Translation based on the logic of homolingualism, the former being the most important, but the time was shorter; During the break between one round of experiments and the next, Ji Susu used it to learn about the work of the Spring and Autumn Translation.

The two jobs are very different in nature and have very different levels of confidentiality.

The brain-computer fusion project is in a semi-confidential state, and the financial statements of the Spring and Autumn Search report announced the cost and approximate progress of the project, and the specific theory and technology are temporarily controlled in the Jinguangdong laboratory. The concept of homonyms was introduced to the whole world and was officially launched after the major version update on September 9, 2009. Spring and Autumn Translation does not hype up the concept of homonym by public opinion, but focuses on making content, that is, showing the charm of the concept of homonym in practice. Considering the lack of "literary brilliance" in simultaneous translation, the first round of promotion selected networks that focus on storytelling and have a low literary threshold.

Spring and Autumn Translation, in conjunction with Spring and Autumn Literature, selects a number of networks with high popularity and simple structure, or persuades the original authors, or hires operators at the price of 20 to 50 yuan per thousand words, and modifies the networks into Chinese-style homophony. After the Spring and Autumn Literature is verified, it is converted into English, French, and Spanish versions through the Spring and Autumn Translation, and quietly put on the market to observe the effect.

Santa Clara, California, USA (Santa_Clara).

Kevin Rupp (Kevin_Lupton) has been in a very bad mood lately.

Kevin is a software engineer working for Intel.

The source of Kevin's bad mood is Intel, Intel has been unfavorable in recent months, and Kevin is trembling every day for fear of suddenly receiving a layoff notice; The source of Intel's poor status quo is Zhiyu, and the overtaking strategy of smart phones has brought Intel a stormy impact.

Six years ago, Wei Dongsheng registered Wisdom Universe Group.

At that time, Kevin didn't know who Wei Dongsheng was, he didn't know which onion and garlic Zhiyu was, and he didn't even have an accurate geographical concept of China in Asia or Africa.

Intel didn't take Zhiyu seriously at that time, and when Xiao Lei's team bought chips from Intel to assemble and develop a supercomputer Cambrian 2004, Intel secretly ridiculed Zhiyu's ambitions and was too lazy to track and cooperate. It wasn't until the supercomputers Cambrian 2004A, Cambrian 2004B, Cambrian 2004C, and Cambrian 2004D continued to break records that Intel began to attach importance to its cooperation with Zhiyu, hoping to exchange cutting-edge technologies to tap the potential of chips.

However, after all, supercomputers are only one of the directions of chip demand, and Intel is not willing to develop supercomputers, and its cooperation with Zhiyu is very shallow. Compared with supercomputers, Intel pays more attention to mobile layouts and wants to promote its IFI standard. When Zhiyu Group established a subsidiary of Zhiyu Telecom, it joined hands with Datang Telecom and Huaguo Mobile to integrate the iPi standard of wireless LAN solutions with independent intellectual property rights into the TD-SCDMA standard, and later "succumbed" to the ban on high-end chips by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and also had careful thoughts on retaliating against the iPi standard of Zhiyu Telecom.

However, Intel's ban and retaliation are both paper tigers.

From 2006 to 2009, Zhiyu Information Industry launched a series of domestic supercomputers represented by Cambrian 2007.

Take a look at the recent June 2009 issue of the world's top 500 supercomputers, and a Cambrian 2009 dominates the list; Santai Cambrian 2008 monopoly second, third, fourth; Two Cambrian 2007 continue to monopolize the fifth and sixth places; It wasn't until the seventh place that IBM appeared, the supercomputer Roadrunner; The eighth place is also the Jaguar supercomputer developed by Lake in the United States; The ninth place flashed the logo of China, the former champion Cambrian 2004D; The tenth place is Jugene, which was developed by IBM for Germany.

Among the world's top ten supercomputers, Zhiyu Information Industry won seven places, and won the top six with an absolute advantage.

Moreover, since Cambrian 2004B first glimpsed the top of the world's top 500 supercomputers, from 2004 to 2009, BM desperately caught up with the work - Walking Juan, even Zhiyu Information Industry's work Cambrian 2007 two years ago is out of reach. The Cambrian series of supercomputers not only continues to prove the strength of Zhiyu's information industry, but also gradually becomes a cultural symbol of the new century of China: the first time Kevin took Huaguo seriously was because he admired the success of Huaguo's supercomputer career.

The wireless LAN standard is similarly one-sided, and the Sapientia series of smartphones is a breakthrough to activate the marketization of wireless LAN, and China is now full of iPi hotspots.

It can be said that Intel's ban, retaliation, and refusal to cooperate have the effect of basically equal to 0.

However, Intel is a CPU manufacturer after all, and CPUs are its main business. Before 2007, Intel was jealous of the success of the Cambrian series of supercomputers, disgusted with the API standard advocated by Xidian Jietong and the iPi standard advocated by Zhiyu Telecom, but did not feel that Zhiyu could threaten its position.

In the era of the rise of Zhiyu, Intel's biggest enemy is AMD. 2004 to 2006 was AMD's most glorious two years, 64-bit, true dual-core, high performance and low power consumption, D is strong, Intel will be weak, Intel is in danger, Paul O'Tellening (Paul_Otellini) urgently took office as Intel's fifth CEO. After Otellan took control of Intel, he first set off a storm of layoffs to cut expenses, and then restructured the business to revitalize Intel. Otellin's strategy was quite effective, and the blockbuster Core 2 (core_2) launched in July 2006 defeated AMD in one fell swoop and returned to the market leader.

However, a triumphant victory is often the moment when a new round of decay is unveiled.

In 2007, Zhiyu launched Sapientia_3G in China, Apple launched the iPhone in the United States, and multi-touch capacitive screen smartphones shined strongly. From 2007 to 2009, Nokia's Symbian smartphone market share declined month by month, and it was even rumored that Nokia would lose money in the third quarter of 2009 for the first time in more than a decade. Even if smartphone makers don't admit that multi-touch capacitive screens are the future, they sense that Nokia's elephant seems a little clumsy.

As a CPU manufacturer, Intel has been slow to realize the impact of smartphones.

2009 was the most chaotic year for the smartphone market.

Sensing that there is a terrible room for growth in smartphones, big giants and small gluttons are ready to enter the market to grab food. The importance of the operating system is self-evident, Apple launched iOS; Zhiyu launched zOS; Google launched Android; Microsoft promotes its indos_CE; Samsung launched BADA; Huaguo Unicom launched UPhone; Huaguo Mobile launched OPhone...... Everyone wants to lay out in advance and get a piece of the pie. The competition in hardware is also fierce, and they all want to overtake and cut into the processor manufacturing business.

Intel, the world's largest manufacturer of personal computer CPUs, has unfortunately fallen behind in this competition.

Intel, of course, is not willing to give up the market.

Intel is also going to enter the smartphone market. In order to enter the smartphone market, Intel decisively set a two-step strategy, the first step was to acquire Infineon, the former semiconductor division of Siemens Group, to make up for the two-year technological backwardness; The second step is to join forces with Nokia, the declining king of multi-touch capacitive screens, to launch a new mobile terminal operating system, MeeGo.

Hardware and operating systems move forward in tandem, which was the root of Intel's rise.

However, times are different.

The idea is good, the reality is tough, and the crisis at Intel is getting worse.

In order to travel lightly to enter the smartphone market, Intel head Otellan may start a new round of layoffs. Kevin Rupp could be the victim of a storm of layoffs. In fact, Kevin has already felt the malice of the world, and his reward salary has shrunk by half, which has directly led to a sharp decline in his income. Kevin is accustomed to spending ahead of his pace, and although he has a high salary that Chinese programmers envy, he has less savings than a Chinese farmer, and he has to take half of his monthly salary to repay various loans. Encountering an unexpected sudden drop in salary, Kevin suddenly fell into a dilemma of making ends meet.

Even more terrifying is the pressure to survive.

The shadow of the financial crisis has not completely dissipated, and there are many jobs and few porridge, and Kai Wenning does not dare to resign rashly and find a new job. Perhaps because of too much pressure, Kevin and his girlfriend fell out completely without saying a word, and depressed to resume his single dog career. The pressure of survival that may be unemployed at any time, the emotional frustration caused by the loss of love, Kevin's mood is extremely low, and he even has to use some illegal drugs to anesthetize himself when he can't sleep late at night.
