Hammer of Technology

Seeing Chen Diancheng's surprised look, Kong Wenjue smiled reservedly, and then replied: "Look at what you said, President Chen, after all, I went abroad to study, and I know some friends, and I happen to have researched in this area, so It’s not too fast either. If you really want to say that the efficiency is high, it has to be Ningshe.”

"I'm writing the program here, but I heard that Ning Society has done another big thing under the leadership of President Chen. It's really refreshing! To tell you the truth, I even snatched a 2000 red envelope from Ning Society this time. I pushed the applet to my roommate, and he snatched a [-] yuan red envelope, which made me envious..."

Chen Diancheng waved his hand, stared at the notebook placed in front of Kong Wenjue, and said, "Hey, isn't it just to order red envelopes? Are you afraid that you won't have a chance to get red envelopes in Ningshe? Come on, let me see the homework first." , If the effect is good, what is the red envelope? Later, I will arrange for you to meet with our director Ning, maybe we can also let our director Ning help you allocate a doctoral student quota. Our student quota for Ning, you know!"

Chen Diancheng was rambling big words, anyway, he didn't intend to realize it, so it's a matter of hurrying to see the results.After all, this is not only the homework that Ning Wei assigned to him, but also the tools that will be used for the next mathematical model.

When Ning Wei assigns tasks to students, he is never aimless. They are all one after another. If the previous problems are not solved well, then naturally they will not be able to keep up with them. At least it is difficult to find tricks.

Of course, Ning Wei did not expect Chen Diancheng to use Kong Wenjue to complete the task he assigned.

Listen to the strings and know the elegance...

Seeing Chen Diancheng's appearance, Kong Wenjue secretly despised the so-called president of Ningshe in his heart, his disdainful eyes flashed from the corner of his eyes, he smiled and inserted the notebook he brought into the USB flash drive, and then turned on After making a circle, point the screen at Chen Diancheng and push it over.

"No problem, President Chen, first see if my achievements these days can meet your requirements. We'll talk about the rest."

"Okay, then I'll do some research first."

……

As time passed by, Kong Wenjue looked at Chen Diancheng with great confidence, studying the results that were said to be made by more than a dozen engineers.

Yes, this homework has nothing to do with him.In fact, he is not very confident that he can make a time series forecasting algorithm that impresses Ningwei in such a short period of time. Fortunately, he has a support team, but...

"Wait, old Kong, why do I feel that this algorithm is similar to the fbprophet that Facebook has open sourced before? You can't just use other people's algorithm and change it casually to perfuse me, right?"

"Eh?" Kong Wenjue was stunned. He was fully prepared for Chen Diancheng's possible questions, but what he didn't expect was that the first question this guy asked was not a technical question, but whether he The problem of counterfeiting...

"It's really similar. Although this algorithm is actually very good, it can handle the situation where there are some outliers in the time series, and it can also deal with some missing values. But this structure is completely based on the idea of ​​fbprophet, based on The decomposition of time series and the fitting of machine learning, the fitting model also uses the pyStan tool, which also provides the interface of Python language..."

Chen Diancheng raised his head, looked at Kong Wenjue with a puzzled face, and asked questions one by one.

This question made Kong Wenjue a little embarrassed, and he seemed a little confused when he answered: "Ah... this... I did borrow some open source algorithms from FB, and you didn't say that you can't learn from them before, did you? But it must be different from fbprophet of……"

Chen Diancheng nodded, and said with a little disappointment: "There are indeed differences. The offline storage format of this algorithm is better than that of fbprophet. The change point detection seems to be improved in detecting whether the boundary problem is reasonable. I feel that it is better than fbprophet. Be more scientific."

"Yes, yes, this helps the algorithm to analyze and judge some special situations more accurately." Kong Wenjue replied quickly.

To be honest, Kong Wenjue's performance disappointed Chen Diancheng very much.

Originally, if this homework is done well, he will coax this guy for a while longer, and draw a bigger pancake to motivate the senior brother in front of him, so that at least he can make his dreams come true in the next six months of his life Porcelain solid.

But judging from this assignment, it doesn't seem necessary.

Obviously, he couldn't take the first homework he assigned seriously, so why is he still using his tongue and brain?

Therefore, Chen Diancheng decided not to give this senior brother the chance to continue to dream for half a year. Of course, this does not mean that everyone will fall apart. At least if there is any troublesome matter, he still hopes that senior brother Kong can rush forward.

So Chen Diancheng directly disconnected the USB flash drive from the notebook, took it in his hand, then pushed the notebook over, and said, "That's fine, thank you Brother Kong, let's do this for today, let's go."

These words made Kong Wenjue stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Wait, President Chen, that's it? We agreed before..."

Chen Diancheng smiled, leaned his body forward slightly, blinked his eyes mysteriously, and said softly: "Hey, old Kong, let me ask you a question, do you believe that there are such creatures as idiots in this world? ?”

this problem……

Kong Wenjue replied with a blank face: "What?"

"I ask you if you believe that there are really idiots in this world!" Chen Diancheng simplified the question and said it again in a more affirmative tone.

"This...President Chen, what do you mean?" Kong Wenjue, who finally realized that something was wrong, looked at Chen Diancheng in surprise, and asked nervously.

"Haha, isn't the meaning obvious? Old Kong, take this material back and take a closer look. If there is anything missing, just make up for it. I'll talk to Director Ning later. Where would it be better to send him. But then again, you have helped Ningshe once, after all, if you figure it out and feel that you still have a future in Ningshe, please say hello to me. Do more things for us at ordinary times, If you don’t ask for anything in return, I won’t send this material to Director Ning, after all he is quite busy. The choice is up to you, so be it.”

Smiling, Chen Diancheng took out the two crumpled A4 white papers from his pocket, threw them frivolously on the table in front of Kong Wenjue, and said in an extremely indifferent tone.

Then I watched Kong Wenjue subconsciously pick up the two pieces of paper he handed over, first glanced at him again, and then opened the two papers, and then saw Kong Wenjue's hands began to tremble, and his face began to turn pale.

Chen Diancheng picked up the coffee, drank it down, and sighed: "Old Kong, what do you say? Don't blame me for calling you an idiot. You are also doing research in this field yourself. Don't you have a clue about the current situation? You are the same as BC. In 221, what is the difference between surrendering from Qin to Qi? Forget it, let’s not talk about it, you understand the influence of our director Ning. Think about it carefully, and contact me if you figure it out.”

After speaking, Chen Diancheng stood up, just turned around, then turned his head to Kong Wenjue, who hadn't recovered yet, and said, "By the way, thank you for the coffee and snacks, and for helping me with this homework. Anyway, these days Thanks for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, Chen Diancheng turned his head and walked out of the coffee shop without hesitation.

As a result, the phone vibrated twice as soon as he went out, and he took it out to see that Senior Brother Kong in the coffee shop had sent a message via WeChat.

"President Chen, I can make meritorious deeds."

Seeing this sentence, Chen Diancheng can't be punished...

"Oh? How about the method of wearing a crime and making a meritorious deed?"

Within two seconds, the message was sent again.

"I can give them fake technical information, make them spend money on useless work, and slow down the development progress of a series of projects."

After seeing this bottomless news, Chen Diancheng replied with great emotion: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Kong, I just wrongly blamed you... You are not an idiot, you are actually really smart to the extreme!"

……

"Mr. Fan, this is the three-temperature automated test report, and the aging test report..."

"Oh, the reports of the FT test and the SLT test, didn't they say when they would come out?"

"It should be soon. The software team is still working on the development of the test program. It is said that the task will definitely be completed tonight."

"Okay, everyone has worked hard. I will treat everyone to dinner tonight."

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Fan Yuxian raised his head subconsciously, and stared in astonishment at the three men in black suits who suddenly barged in.

"Which department do you belong to? Is there something wrong?"

"Fan Gong, this is our certificate. In some cases, you need to cooperate with us in our investigation."

"No, I'm working at the most critical time. What do you mean? What if I delay the testing of Ningxin No. [-]?"

"Don't worry about this, Fan Gong, our actions have been approved by your leaders, and someone will take over your job soon, and it will definitely not affect the Ningxin No. [-] test. Please come with us, Once some issues are clarified, everything will be fine.”

……

Yanbei University, Centennial Lecture Hall, Audience Hall.

Zhang Dingxi is leading the whole team of the laboratory to accurately measure various data on the mirror frame stage.

"Brother Zhang, the main stage here is already 626.37 square meters, or you should give up the side stage, otherwise, the amount of this project is a bit large, and if the two sides are to be linked, the computing power requirements will increase exponentially, and It's more complicated, and the investment has to be doubled, so the price is not high!"

"No, director Ning attaches great importance to this awards ceremony. Otherwise, we would not have to prepare more than a month in advance. Besides, if there is no difficulty, do we still need to do it? Can't you do anything? You can do it on both sides of the stage. It must be linked. Come, come, the elevator is circled first, and the coordinates are recorded accurately. When it is started, it cannot affect the imaging."

"Okay... by the way, how about retracting the curtain [-] centimeters inward? This way, when we build the frame, it can be separated from the moving track of the curtain, so that it will be easier to disassemble and recycle in the future."

"What a waste of recycling! Director Ning has already made an agreement with the school that we will use the century-old lecture hall for free at the award ceremony in March. These equipments are left to the school and will not be recycled. Turn around and directly dismantle the moving track of the curtain as a whole That’s enough, let’s use the original track to lay our equipment, what kind of curtain do we need with this? Just adjust the light in the background, and then directly simulate the curtain in the future, wouldn’t it be fine?”

"Huh? No more recycling? This set has cost millions... Director Ning is really generous."

"Don't worry about this small amount of money. Didn't Ningshe just sponsor us a sum of money? Use it to save energy, have we ever been short of money in the laboratory? After all, the laboratory is in the school. After completing this project, what do you have in the future? It’s better to talk to the school, isn’t it? Besides, what’s the use of recycling this thing? Where can I find an exactly the same stage to decorate? This will be a model project in the future, maybe the studio hall of CCTV in the future will be Want to buy our equipment?"

"That's how I understand it. In other words, Director Ning's thinking is really far-reaching."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, everyone quickly measure the data, it must be accurate..."

……

February of the Year of the Monkey passed like usual.

At the beginning of March, when the temperature in Beijing began to rise, a big news once again spread throughout the world's technology circles.

XBOX, a subsidiary of Microsoft, has invested nearly 700 billion U.S. dollars to fully acquire the well-known game company Blizzard Activision.

It is said that this deal was negotiated in early February. In just one month, Microsoft quickly settled the regulatory authorities and the shareholders of Blizzard Activision, and paid a high price to fully acquire this world-renowned game company. Transactions are made in all cash.

The news was sudden enough to make many people look sideways.Especially the impact on the game circle is huge, it is tantamount to dropping a depth bomb on a calm sea.While people are deeply aware of the abundant cash flow of these veteran technology giants, they are a little confused about Microsoft's sudden move.

Is Microsoft going big into gaming?Will games be the main profit growth point in the future?

What's even more frightening is that the penalty for breach of contract exposed in this sky-high acquisition is also extremely staggering. Simply put, if the acquisition process is terminated due to Microsoft's reasons, and Blizzard Activision does not trigger any breach of contract conditions, then Microsoft will face 20 to 30 On the contrary, if the shareholders of Blizzard Activision suddenly don't want to sell it, or want to sell it to other companies, they will have to pay Microsoft a termination fee of US$22.7 billion.

After the compensation clause was exposed, it was basically certain that the deal was a certainty.

After all, the compensation of more than 20 billion US dollars is unbearable even for a world-class high-tech company like Microsoft. For Blizzard Activision, this compensation may not be affordable.

And a big buyer like Microsoft, which can shell out nearly $700 billion in one go, is not so easy to find.

In short, the world's largest desktop operating system provider has begun to run wildly on the road of world-class game companies, and Ladu can't pull back the kind...

Of course, this acquisition is not bad news for game players. After all, with a powerful financial backer, maybe Blizzard Activision's son Blizzard can make better games?

It is said that Microsoft's top management's goal for this acquisition is also to lay a solid foundation for the construction of the Metaverse.

Of course, in this era when the metaverse is already being ridiculed as scum, Microsoft's sudden repetition of the old tune also makes the world feel a little different.

At this time, Ningfeng Software was discussing with Blizzard on behalf of Ningshe the character use agreement of its once-popular game "World of Warcraft".

"Mr. Ding, thanks to your communication, this March Awards Ceremony, can use the latest version of World of Warcraft Faith's End, a series of official CG animation authorizations, as well as all the characters in the game. Believe us this time It must be a pleasure to work together.”

"Mr. Lan, you are welcome. The March Awards Ceremony is an industry event every year. It should be that we thank you for using these materials to help us promote the new version of the game. I heard that the March Awards Ceremony is very impressive. so big."

"Haha, no one can say for sure, but there are indeed a lot of heavyweight guests this year. The level of attention must be full. And you can tell President Ding that this time the central media will also participate in the live broadcast, not only It is an online channel, and it will be broadcast live on the technology channel. It is said that the contract has been signed, and the official publicity will start the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"That's great. It seems that we have made money from this cooperation!"

Mr. Ding nodded slightly, and said with a cheerful smile.

"Actually, it was expected. Didn't Academician Ning announce to the public that the specific performance of Ningxin No. [-] and the future listing plan will be announced at the March Awards Ceremony, so this award ceremony will attract more attention. It's also normal."

"Speaking of Ningxin No. [-], does Mr. Lan have any inside information?"

"Haha, there is really no such thing, please don't hurt me, Ningsi Lab has arrested more than 20 people and just made the news, so now, there is so much discussion on Ningxin on the whole network, but there is no reason why there is no news Yes, the secrecy measures are strictly enforced."

"Be strict! Then we can only look forward to the day of the awards ceremony."

"Look forward to it together!"

390 Painful yet happy

The award ceremony of the March Awards does not need to commemorate a certain deceased boss, so the schedule is more flexible than the well-known Nobel Dinner. It has always been the first Sunday in March.This is the advantage of being in China as the home court. Being able to determine the time by yourself is at least friendly to those who really care about cutting-edge progress, and for children who often work overtime, at least they don’t need to go to work to watch the live broadcast, or just Can watch the recording.

In addition, because this is just a simple awards ceremony, no meals are included this evening, so in the past three awards ceremonies, the gates were usually opened at 07 o'clock to formally welcome the guests, and the awards were presented at 30:120 The ceremony started on time, and the time of the entire awards ceremony was not too tight, controlled between 180 and [-] minutes.

At present, the longest time is the first award ceremony of the March Awards, which took 180 minutes and was full of dry goods. In addition to the testimonials of the winners and some programs arranged in the middle, there are also world-renowned major events. The boss of a technology company was invited to the stage to give some simple speeches and make some small prospects for future technology.

Most of the next two awards ceremonies ended in about two hours.After all, the award ceremony is not a report meeting.

Although the award ceremony in March is only for one night, the heavyweight guests invited by the organizing committee will usually arrive in Beijing in advance. .No matter how many sessions it is.This year it is even more exaggerated, maybe even more exaggerated than the first March Award Ceremony, because this time the organizing committee invited more important guests.

Especially this time, Ning Wei also showed a different courtesy and tolerance than before. For the first time, he took the initiative to book all the rooms of Yanbei Boya Hotel and Wenjin International Hotel near Yanbei University, and arranged for important VIPs to stay.

Of course, it cannot be said that this money was paid by the March Award Organizing Committee.After all, there are a lot of big names this time, so I didn’t receive an invitation, but there are quite a few people who really want to come, and this time the March Award Organizing Committee rented the auditorium of the Centennial Lecture Hall of Yanbei University, with a total of more than 2000 seats. There are enough places, so more than 1000 sponsorship seats are released.

Want to be in the same frame as the big shots?

Tickets to the awards ceremony can be purchased.The few tickets that are very close to the bigwigs in the front row are actually not expensive. As long as you spend 20 yuan, you may be able to get close to the CEOs and even bosses of the world's top technology companies, as well as Nobel Prize winners and the world's TOP10. The university professors were talking and laughing happily, and they might even ask for a group photo or something, which is actually not too much.

It's not a big problem if you just want to come to watch the ceremony and don't need to deal with important people.Tickets for the back row and the second floor are not expensive, and you can be in the same room with the world's most cutting-edge scientists for a thousand or eight hundred dollars, which is not a big expense.

Under this kind of thinking, although the budget for this year's ceremony is very high, in fact, for the organizing committee, the income even exceeds the expenses, and basically all the bonuses that need to be paid this year are earned through the ticket money Come back in half a hour.

Of course, if Ning Wei hadn't pulled his face and invited a bunch of bigwigs who are almost well-known in China to participate in this grand event, it would be impossible for the tickets to be so expensive and so popular...

Therefore, although these bigwigs got benefits and could stay in the hotel arranged by the organizing committee for free, this was actually earned by their own face.

Of course, these operations were planned by Ning Wei early on.

In fact, there were still many voices of opposition at the beginning. After all, it is somewhat impolite to sell tickets for the awards ceremony in Huaxia, and the March Awards ceremony is not a commercial award after all, but an academic event. To the wind review of the March Awards.

But Ningwei pushed this system of viewing ceremony against all opinions.

In his words, worldwide academic conferences can charge money from applicants, so why can’t they charge money for such an award ceremony?After all, doing academics also requires money. High-tech instruments cannot be run to the laboratory with long legs. After all, they are exchanged for real money, so when it is time to charge, you must not be ambiguous.

Of course, the annual award ceremony fee is not fixed.If you follow the big guys, there will be a batch of tickets that are slightly more expensive. If there are not too many heavyweight guests, the ticket prices will be cheaper, fully respecting the market.

So the ticket price for the first award ceremony and this year's good position is the highest, but also the gunner.

This is also the reason why Ning Wei has the confidence to book a hotel this year, and he will not lose money anyway.

At the same time, what is different this year from previous years is that Ning Wei is much more enthusiastic about this year's awards ceremony. Every time a big boss gets off the plane, he will announce it on Weibo, and by the way, he will go to greet him Photos sent by the staff.

"Pat Kelsinger, the president of Intel, can be said to be our old friend. This is the second time he has been invited to China Capital to participate in the March Awards Ceremony, which shows that he attaches great importance to the March Awards. In the past year since Ning Xin released it, what should I say? This person can handle it!"

"Mr. Tim Cook has arrived. The March Awards have lasted for half a year. This is the third time he has participated. This alone shows that Apple attaches great importance to the Chinese market. Maybe we can look forward to the next generation of Apple products What kind of surprises will it bring us? Of course, the premise is that Apple uses our Ningxin in MAC."

"This is Mr. Gérard Mourou from France. I believe that if you go back nine years, you will be able to recognize this Nobel Prize winner in physics at a glance. The method of density ultrashort optical pulse won the Nobel Prize in Physics that year. Similarly, he is also my partner, one of the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I am really glad that he can come to our award ceremony in March."

"This is an old acquaintance, Mika. As the winner of the first March Prize in Physics, I believe he must be very excited today. Because last time he told me that as a former March Prize winner, he came to China He still had to pay for the room reservation himself, which really surprised him. This time I helped him book the room, and he should be very satisfied."
