Chapter 3: The Simple First Pot of Gold

It's a good question how the reborn will make money.

Everyone has had such a dream, but few have actually prepared for it.

Will you go back to the winning numbers of the last lottery with a jackpot of hundreds of millions? Just in case?

Or are you sure that the numbers really won?

Meng Fanqi did not have a system to support him, nor was he given super memories, and his family did not have a lot of financial resources.

If his friend Liu Xu is reborn, he can basically remember all the important wins and losses, even the scores, of the World Cup, the Champions League, the NBA and other major games.

But this thing is a big purchase, and it's hard to say whether it can really be secured.

Looking to buy a property? Let's not say that my family can't afford so much money to buy two sets in a prime location in a big city, and the property will only make a few dollars. Doubled to three or four times the sky.

If you want to say that ordinary people buy something with the highest profit in 2013, it has to be a virtual currency.

It's just that this thing is followed by some soup, rattling leeks, and slowly coming out of a thousand to the point that it is enough to lie flat in your hands, if you want to really rely on it to make hundreds of millions of dollars, then you really treat those capitalists as fools.

When he came to the Internet café, Meng Fanqi first took his hands to check the price of BTC. $15 per piece.

"It's a little late." Meng Fanqi sighed secretly, if it were three years earlier, BTC would only cost $0.06 a piece. That's 250 times today.

However, in the autumn and winter of 2013, BTC had a small rise, and it had risen to more than 130 in August and September, and even broke through the high price of 1,000 dollars at the end of the year.

A million profits, in just a few months, can turn over nearly a hundred times the amount.

Meng Fanqi looked at all his poor 10,000 yuan of property, invested more than 8,000 yuan, and bought 88 BTC, which was very auspicious.

In the autumn and winter, this is the initial capital of hundreds of thousands.

After earning this round, there is no need to rush to continue to buy Zaitun.

It was about 17 years since this thing officially took off, and although it rose to a high price of 1,000 dollars at the end of 13 years, it was followed by four years of ups and downs, and it has not been able to break 1,000 again.

In 15 years, it has returned to the price of more than 200 dollars.

Wait until the middle of 15 years and remember to buy it for about 220. Sold in 21 years in hand, how much is it, almost 58,000 dollars? That's about 260 times.

Now turn over the first pot of gold, and wait until 15 years to buy some as a small part of your own property investment and preservation. As a reborn person in the information age, the first pot of gold is really a simple thing.

All it takes is a little patience.

However, in the past ten years, financial freedom is only a small goal. If you only want to live on a few BTC and eat a little bit of fleshy bones leaking out of the fingers of big capital, it is inevitably a little too unproductive.

How to overcome difficulties as soon as possible, push forward the technology I remembered in my previous life for half a year and a year, and try to eat as much as possible, this is the most important thing.

In all fairness, I couldn't have been luckier. As an AI algorithm engineer, Meng Fanqi is well aware of how exaggerated the status and wealth of many algorithms and technologies in his memory will be for him.

It is not difficult to rely on things like BTC to get rich and free in other professions to return to ten years ago, but it is not so easy to stand at the center of the world stage and roll up a storm of AI in the new era.

"Menggou, what's the situation? I can really send it today. ”

"Brother is convinced, what are you playing with? Hands and feet are the same. ”

After work, Meng Fanqi LOL played very little, let alone Dota 2, and his hands were not good. As soon as he got started, he sent two sets wildly, and he broke the situation by himself. After pit the two roommates for two sets, Meng Fanqi hurriedly shirked and said, "I have something on my mind today, I'm really sorry, you guys open two more, I'll check the information." ”

"Okay, okay." The other two didn't say much, and were in a hurry to win.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and how to take a solid first step on the road to rebirth AI still needs a little planning. In good conscience, although I have read many famous papers, I have also seen the main code implementations.

But the very real thing is that the technology of AI is updated and iterated quickly, and there are many similar ideas in the same period, and good ideas need to be supported by sufficient experimental results, and the review cycle is very long.

In the same period, there were countless similar algorithms and techniques, and I did not have a large number of computing equipment to prepare a large number of results, second, I did not have the endorsement of a well-known mentor to ensure that the article would not be ignored, and third, I did not intern in a large company and lacked publicity means. If you rashly publish some AI algorithm articles, there is a high chance that they will be ignored or even rejected by reviewers who don't understand.

Worse still, it inspired other scholars to quickly build on their own with the results of a large number of experiments that they could not afford now. Perhaps someone will mention later that in fact, the technology was proposed earlier by Meng Fanqi of Huaguo. But the real benefits have long been taken.

"Especially at this point in time, all kinds of AI-related code bases and tools are not perfect, and many of the things I learned back then may not be easy to implement. It is simply impossible to prepare the experimental results of a top-level paper right away. Meng Fanqi searched for a lot of familiar technical keywords, and found that the information that could be found was far less than he thought.

"It also takes me a certain amount of time to learn the old tools and frameworks, and rushing to publish algorithm papers is not a bad thing, it can only be said that it is not so necessary, and there is plenty of time. It is always the events that can really gain the most attention and status that are the events of man-machine wars.

As long as I win a major competition, I can really get the attention of the AI community. Then I will write a paper on the technology with the widest range of applications in the future, be a pit digger, and let others slowly fill in the pit on my basis. ”

The work of tinkering is not given much attention, it is dirty work. The pit diggers are the most profitable, just dig or fill it, and I don't know how many researchers have been buried in the pit.

The algorithms and technologies that Meng Fanqi can remember now are naturally the contemporaneous and pioneering work that has been tested many times and stood out.

As long as you have achieved a breakthrough that shocked the industry, then all the algorithms you propose in the future and all the papers you write will have a certain degree of popularity, which cannot be ignored, and will only succeed again and again.

The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree. I still remember that Meng Fanqi was waiting to see the serialization of the second part of the Lord of Mystery before he was reborn, and the squid only sent 30 words, and the curly-haired baboons had already rewarded hundreds of thousands, which was the appeal of the big guy.

Thinking of this, Meng Fanqi has locked his first goal, which is the IMAGENET super large image competition.

IMAGENET IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LARGE-SCALE COMPETITION IN THE EARLY DAYS OF DEEP LEARNING, AND FROM 2010 TO 2017, ALL IMAGE ALGORITHMS CAN PROVE THEIR VALUE THE BEST WAY, THAT IS, TO ACHIEVE GOOD RESULTS ON IMAGENET.

The crown is famous for centuries, and the rest are not cared for. Only the winner takes all.

"Not long after the 2012 competition, the world should still be in the midst of AlexNet's shock."

MENG FANQI CLICKED ON THE WEB INTERFACE OF IMAGENET AND ROUGHLY BROWSED THE INFORMATION OF THE COMPETITION THAT ENDED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

"There is still more than half a year to go until the start of the '13 competition, so I have to prepare as soon as possible."

The amount of data in IMAGENET is very large, and the magnitude of 1400w images requires quite good equipment support, which is not something that can be run on my current small broken laptop.

This is also why Meng Fanqi feels that he must give away a part of his BTC in advance this fall, and this consumption is inevitable.

"I'm really good, it's amazing, put seventeen skills in two seconds." The two roommates on the side seem to have won a big win and are bragging wildly.

"What kind of cow is it, don't you have to rely on your father to demolish the high ground?" Liu Xu didn't cheer at all, turned his head and noticed that the screen in front of Meng Fanqi was all in English, and couldn't help but be surprised, "What's the situation?" Running to an Internet café to study? ”

Tang Juan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran over and touched Meng Fanqi's forehead, "Don't it burn out, right?" ”

"Burn what burn." Meng Fanqi waved his hand and removed the dog paw on his head, "Be careful that Dad chops off your paw." ”
