Chapter five hundred and sixty-eight, people really want to develop artificial intelligence
The beginning of the intelligent computer project of grade level is a secret. The Exeter Computer Research Center is built in the UK and is located in the suburbs of a southwest city, extremely far from the circle of news centers. In fact, because its establishment has a British royal background, even local British journalists rarely visit, let alone other media around the world.
There are only fifty or sixty members of the institute. Although there are few, they are all elite hackers collected by Alice from all over the world.
In fact, this is a very interesting fact. If you just graduate from university step by step, a person will certainly have superb computer skills, but that's it. This is the case with the so-called academic and theoretical schools. But any hacker will definitely gain true knowledge by practicing, and they must be comprehensively proficient in multiple skills in order to take on the identity of hackers.
So, although not, those computer master's students who graduated from Stanford and MIT are of poor level, the hackers must be very strong, but the dozens of people Alice found are definitely experts in "Stanford Computer PhD to Change Hackers".
Such a group of people, even one or two, are elites, just like when Gates was still in school, he became a senior technician in a computer company as a mere student. Alice often deals with Gates, and often gets involved with the employees in her institute. Practice has proved that excluding business acumen, everyone here is at least on the same level as Gates.
You know, Bill Gates left the most famous example in the interview program. He was just a few months after he got involved in computers in middle school, but he first went to the school's host computer room and designed a curriculum for the school.
Therefore, since there is such a gathering of elites, the institute should theoretically be able to produce patented technology in large quantities. But what puzzles a few people are that after three or four years, its most eye-catching technical output, namely the b standard and a solid-state drive with capacity but high capacity.
The former has indeed caused a lot of sensation in the T industry in the past few months. In the past few months, Microsoft and Cisco have joined hands with many of the Silicon Valley peers, including Intel, Oracle, and B and HP, to try to promote this technology as the industry standard.
Industry companies are of course welcomed by this matter. Performance improvement and standardization are definitely conducive to the production of all hardware companies. Volkswagen Electronics magazine reported that although the technical content of this patent is average, if it is unified as an industry standard, it will have an indelible effect on promoting the T-world exhibition.
It's a bit embarrassing, but the output of another finished product of the institute was a bit embarrassing. Solid-state drives are unfamiliar to almost everyone. If the industry magazines and newspapers hadn't quickly popularized their knowledge, many people who claimed to be computer enthusiasts wouldn't even know that this concept appeared as early as the 1970s. Of course, it's not their fault. In 1997, Trgtk opened the first solid-state drive, which was awesome, but that was it.
The following text was not until the Exeter Institute was developed. It really made practical products. The capacity is very high, at least three times worse than the normal hard drives of the same period, but the price is no lower than the most cutting-edge ordinary videos. Therefore, as its only and most important advantage, everyone must admit that its degree is really fast.
Unfortunately, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this technology has no practical value in the short term. The expensive price and extremely pitiful capacity have made almost everyone not buy it. Although the degree of this solid-state drive is indeed very fast, who would spend this money except for the suckers like the Ministry of Defense?
Then the question is, dozens of top elites have worked hard for three or four years, but why are there only two or three products?
"What a big guy."
Looking at the string of "big refrigerators" arranged side by side in front of her, Alice sighed with nonsense.
The scene almost reproduced the scene of the first computer in history, Aniac. Twenty-one large black iron refrigerators, which were as high as nine feet tall, rumbling fans when running, and rows of work indicator lights lit up and went out in groups, just like an intelligent robot using lights to describe his heart.
“Large size and higher performance.”
Harry Punez stood beside Alice, and he was very proud: "Boss, don't look at 'Anne' taking up less space than the big guy in the basement, her performance is completely the same as it is!"
The otakus's hobby for products came out in advance from his name. Alice was also very satisfied. You should know that the level computer she purchased for the research institute had floating point operations of tens of billions of times per second, which was the world's latest product. It was B's old strength, and she only had fifty or sixty people here. In just two or three years, she had built a computer with the ternary principle that was not inferior to it, and the progress was amazing.
"Of course the faster the performance, the better, but our real focus is still on software." Today is the day of inspection, and we are coming all the way not to brag. Since the boss asked, Harry immediately led her to the main control platform.
The current operating system is derived from it. It is much easier to adapt all binary codes in ternary systems than to use ternary versions of n. The former only requires Alice to make adjustments based on the original basis, while the latter has to be developed from scratch. Although n is one of the most suitable platforms for servers, as a temporary substitute, Microsoft's products are of course more than enough.
This is also the product of continuous excellence. Although Alice is a shareholder of Microsoft, she has no hope of using NT as the operating system of her ternary computer. Now she uses it as a substitute and conducts actual evaluation of the hardware part of the computer, and the software part depends on everyone's efforts to work together.
A truly ternary operating system, not just a slightly adapted nt.
"Mr. Zora's algorithm was born for artificial intelligence!" Harry was extremely excited when he mentioned the person he had communicated with recently: "On the surface, as long as the amount of information is sufficient, it can provide a nearly predictable probability calculation. This is of course very amazing, but we have to see through the essence. Isn't this a thinking pattern that only the human brain has inferences based on existing intelligence?"
Harry was really excited, otherwise he would not have tried to popularize Alice. As for the latter, as soon as she sat in front of the computer, she completely ignored any interference from the outside world. A few nonsense from Harry was said. Even if the nuclear bomb exploded outside the window, whether she could look up was a question.
Before she flew to the UK, she emailed Harry to start a new project, which was the research on real artificial intelligence systems.
It is not just a ternary principle, but a computer that can truly think like a human.
The technical difference between the development method lies in whether Harry's ternary genetic algorithm is used and Anim Zora's "probability algorithm".
A basic common sense is that even if a computer has "real" artificial intelligence, there is also a problem of "age". This age does not only refer to the age of virtualized personality, but the "psychological age" of computers when dealing with various matters. Young people are impulsive, and 40% will take risks. Middle-aged people are steady, and 60% will follow up. The elderly are conservative and 80% will dare to take action. This description is just the most obvious.
The basic understanding ability of instructions is based on the influence of "psychological age" and the orientation of the system's "personality" to finally form a complete command system. This is really very similar to playing chess, and it is also the benchmark for b and Google to test the degree of computer artificial intelligence by Go. On this basis, if it is based on a ternary system and is accompanied by genetic algorithms and "probability algorithms", it is probably possible to produce real "artificial intelligence"?
"This idea is OK..." At the conference table, all the team leaders gathered together, and Director Harry Punez responded to the big boss's proposal: "But we have been studying Mr. Zora's algorithm recently, and we haven't learned it completely yet. If you are anxious, boss, you can't do it."
Not him, everyone could see Alice's energetic look. She was also wondering, why did the boss who had not been busy for so long suddenly become so active? If they knew that this was just because Alice didn't want to manually enter massive website information, would it collapse?
Well, it seems that there is no need.
Alice slapped her chest and said, "This is simple. My Sissi is about to graduate. I have been staying in the research institute for the past two months before the holiday. I am directly responsible for the research of the operating system. If you learn from you, come to me if you don't know anything. Let's work together."
So the situation was decided. Zora's algorithm was indeed very difficult. Alice recognized after reading the outline. From the technical content of his programming, he was almost not much different from her. It was amazing that there was a difference in productivity. Letting a group of "ordinary people" learn Zora's algorithm quickly was equivalent to letting them understand Alice's highest-level works quickly and thoroughly, and the difficulty could be imagined.
So, after the situation was determined, Alice sat in the office and made a relatively unexpected decision first.
"The latest and most powerful computer that just released this year, the NC-3/44r in Fukuaka City, Japan, has a level computer with 23 billion floating point operations per second. I will give me the original one to produce a packaged air mail!"
It is a fool to have money but not make money, especially now is the last crazy period of the Japanese real estate bubble. Whether before or after it burst, I believe that those Japanese will never let go of this big order.
