Go Legend

   Chapter 352 The Deception of Dogs

   At 3:50 p.m., this game of chess has just reached 110 moves. Due to the excessive time spent before, Li Xiangping will soon enter the countdown.

   And just before the countdown, Lao Shi suddenly spoke to Li Xiangping:

   "Xiangping Little Friends"

   "Ah? What's the matter with Brother Ding'an? Are you thinking about where your next move will be?"

   "Haha, this time it wasn't a move, but at this time, I suddenly remembered that machine in the future, and I found that in Yi Dao, at least we are better than it."

   "Ah? Brother Ding'an is talking about dogs, so tell me, where are we better than others?"

   "For example, in today's situation, Xiaoyou Xiangping can think about it, to deal with today's situation, are we much better than that machine?"

  Li Xiangping was stunned at first, but after he was stunned, he quickly woke up, and when he woke up, he was very happy:

   "Haha makes sense, it makes sense! Brother Ding'an really has you"

   Lao Shi's words are really not wrong. In Go, there is really one aspect that humans are better than dogs.

   And "this aspect", of course, refers to the "aspect" of dealing with today's situation. In this field, humans are much stronger than dogs.

  No, maybe it can’t be said that humans are better than dogs, it can only be said that in this field, the dogs are still completely idiots.

   At least when Li Xiangping crossed over, dogs did not know this technique at all, and they were standard novices in this field, which made it seem that humans were overpowered by dogs.

   As for the technique that Li Xiangping mentioned, of course, the more experienced chess fans have guessed it. It refers to the unique reversal technique of human beings, the technique of "stirring".

  Why don't the dogs "spoil the game"? This is actually related to the algorithm they use.

   Take today's game as an example. So far, because of Li Xiangping's unintelligible moves in front of him, it can be said that the situation of White's chess has become very bad and the situation is very dangerous.

   Well, the above is also a language unique to humans, and humans can only judge in this way.

   However, if it is judged by dogs, it is not like this. People can “quantify” it. It may think that the probability of white winning is only 20% or even lower.

Well, "quantization" is a good thing, it looks tall and full of force, especially the so-called "scientific thinking" passed down from the West in modern times, which uses "quantification" as a way of judging many things. Standard, if something cannot be "quantified", it is considered to be ignorant, and it is still in the chaotic stage, but once it can be "quantified", it seems to immediately become a full of "science".

   For a long time, Chinese medicine practitioners in our country have been attacked so badly. Isn’t this the main reason?

Well, Li Xiangping only played chess, and he was only a high school student, so he had no intention of arguing with people about the good or bad of traditional Chinese medicine, but it was in his heart, to be honest, he really looked down on those who slandered it. People of Traditional Chinese Medicine—

   Despise those people as they despise Chinese medicine.

Why do you say this way? Because the so-called "scientific thinking" that those people insist on is an old thing from centuries ago, and it can't solve most of the things in this world. Standard, which really just means one thing:

   A person with this kind of thinking shows that his "scientific literacy" is actually very limited, and is basically still at a fairly low level.

   Although Li Xiangping is a dude, he is a dude in the new century, so he really thinks he is qualified to despise these people.

   seems to have gone a bit far, but back to Go, why doesn't Li Xiangping take "quantization" so seriously? After the appearance of Go AI, it may be able to explain a little problem.”

Since the first generation of dogs "Alpha Dog" came out, people have found a problem, that is, dogs can't deal with disadvantaged situations, especially when the situation is bad to a certain extent, then it seems that it will not be able to, many times It only has one move, and that is "playing generals", frequently "playing generals".

   At first, everyone thought it was strange and thought it was a small bug, but later found out that it was not. This situation is determined by its algorithm. ​​​

Since the dog chooses points on the chessboard based on the winning percentage, in the case of an unfavorable situation, such as today's chess game, the white chess winning percentage has dropped to less than 20%, and it seems that there is no one on the chessboard anymore. Points can improve White's winning rate, so what will the dog do?

   Then of course it can only "fight generals", and continue to "fight generals" until the end of the day.

Because in Go, there is only the method of "playing the general", which can maintain the exact same winning rate as the previous hand, so in the eyes of the dogs, this is the method with the highest winning rate, and it is the best choice in the current situation. , causing it to "play" endlessly.

   This kind of problem that is very small in the eyes of humans, or even not a problem, can be solved well in dogs?

   To be honest, Li Xiangping is definitely not as optimistic as those dog fans, and this problem is really not that easy to solve.

   Because this is not a simple patch, but involves the foundation of the Go AI algorithm. Correcting this is actually shaking the foundation of the algorithm.

Needless to say, in real history, from one generation of dogs to three generations of dogs, there are other foreign dogs of various sizes. solve this problem.

  Well, although Li Xiangping is not a computer expert, he doesn't know much about the algorithms of dogs, but he knows chess anyway, and it is precisely because he knows chess that he can tell everyone responsibly:

   Even the highest level of "Alpha Yuan", if it falls into an unfavorable situation, especially the unfavorable situation where the winning rate is too low and may reach its critical point, then its moves after that are actually a piece of shit.

   Although it will not fight as often as a generation of dogs, Li Xiangping believes that this is actually just a patch that humans have given it to deceive itself.

  Why do you say "self-deception"? For example, in the era of the first generation dog "Alpha Dog", when its winning rate dropped below 30%, it began to go crazy and began to "play generals" frequently, then wait until the third generation dog "Alpha Yuan", Humans may have adjusted its tipping point so that it doesn't start playing until the win rate drops below 10% or even 5%.

   Of course, it's the same. In fact, you only need to carefully analyze its moves to know that, in fact, the third generation of dogs is the same as the first generation of dogs. Starting from 30%, its moves are already a piece of shit.

  Although it is not a "playing general", it is almost as bad as a "playing general".

   This is of course a kind of self-deception, a kind of self-deception with a certain concealment. Because you want to recognize this kind of deception, you can't just see "playing generals", you have to have a slightly higher level of Go.

   Speaking of this, Li Xiangping wants to add another digression. In fact, in the so-called "Western science" produced in modern times, there are quite a lot of similar "self-deception".

   Let’s talk about the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine just now. Li Xiangping cites a real story that happened to him in his past life, maybe he can better explain this problem.

   His old man used to work for a large state-owned enterprise in China. Later, although he quit his job, he also had many old colleagues and friends there. Among them, there are two old colleagues. Yu ぁ�

These two "uncles" are not only about the same age, but also at about the same time (almost around 2000) and were diagnosed with the same disease, the common type of diabetes, and at the very beginning, the severity of Heard about the same.

   It's just that everything else is similar, but there is a big gap between the two's identities. One of the "uncles" has become a middle and high-level group company when he fell ill, not only has a good income, but also has complete medical insurance.

The other "uncle" was just an ordinary worker, and when he was sick, he was only a "peasant contract worker", and he stayed in the company only because of his excellent craftsmanship. Medical insurance is not complete.

   It is precisely because of this difference between the two that the treatment methods for the two must be different.

  The high-level "uncle" certainly has nothing to say. Every day insulin is on the table, careful nursing, regular inspections, and from time to time, good news comes from him, saying that various indicators are starting to normalize and so on.

   As for the other worker, "Uncle", of course there was no such condition in those days, so he could only take some cheap Chinese medicine and then use traditional Chinese medicine for physical therapy.

   A few years have passed, and the condition of the "uncle" who received good news every day began to worsen. Just after the age of 50, he was discharged from the unit.

   As for the worker "Uncle", in his 50s, he was still alive and kicking, walking like a fly on a construction site dozens of stories high.

   At the very beginning, Li Xiangping thought it was strange, didn't he say that the indicators were normal, how could it be like this?

   In the end, it was a doctor who revealed the secrets

   Focus, this doctor is not a Chinese medicine, but a Western medicine, the doctor told Li Xiangping:

   "Hey, what's the use of those indicators? They're all lies. On the surface, the indicators seem to be normal, but the root of his disease is still there."

   Li Xiangping suddenly realized, especially when he grew up and saw the Go AI, then he realized it even more.

   The reason why the high-level "uncle" got worse can only be blamed on his poor "scientific literacy". He didn't see the deceptiveness of those indicators.

  If he can play Go, if he can play Go, and he can reach a certain level, then he can at least know:

   In fact, starting from the drop of the winning rate to 30%, then even the top "Alpha Yuan" will play a piece of shit.

   Well, I don't know if there are any tonight, because wait, Uncle Seven is going to visit Li Xiangping, a high-level "uncle".
