Tech Hammer

The passion on the Internet comes and goes quickly...

Over the course of a week, the discussion began to gradually subside, and soon the discussion about Huaxia Chip began to focus on professional forums, but the discussion was not very lively. Because for the vast majority of practitioners, what is supposed to come will eventually come.

When the dust finally settled, the power of a bunch of vulnerabilities that could affect the underlying security of the Internet finally began to emerge. A group of hard-working programmers, under the guidance of industry professor Ming Dengning, started a popular overtime life at the end of September.

National Day is approaching, but for most programmers, there seems to be no hope of a holiday. To paraphrase a former commander-in-chief, this is probably life...

Ning Wei didn't apologize, because he felt that he was too busy to explode.

In the third quarter of this year, things suddenly started to increase.

The first is that the turbulence algorithm has finally reached the point where it can participate in national science and technology awards.

It's a pity that Ning Wei has no obsession with bonuses at this time, and it doesn't matter whether the turbulence algorithm can award a prize.

Very embarrassingly, the person in charge of the National Science and Technology Awards Office made a special call to Ning Wei to inquire about Ning Wei's intention to participate in the selection of this year's highest national science and technology award...

Seriously speaking, whether it is the turbulence algorithm or the March smart platform, these two inventions have already qualified Ning Wei to win this award, not to mention that last year he also unveiled the king of all things - the three-dimensional silicon silicon tube chip architecture.

These things combined together are more than enough to win prizes.

But for the jury, it was also very confusing when facing this issue.

Ning Wei is really too young.

The nation’s highest science and technology award is basically a lifetime achievement award similar to the Wolf Prize. In the past, the youngest recipient of the highest science and technology award was nearly seventy years old. Winning this award is basically an affirmation of the contributions that scientists have made to China over the years.

For example, Mr. Yuan was 70 years old when he won the award. For example, Mr. Gu, who participated in various aircraft designs in China, was nearly 90 years old when he won the award...

Among these older generation scientists, a young man of 24 or 5 years old suddenly appeared, which was somewhat unconventional. The troublesome thing is that there was no age limit in the previous application conditions for the highest technology awards, and it also specifically stipulated that applicants must still be active at the forefront of contemporary science and technology and engage in scientific research or technology development.

Of course, these older generation scientists would not mind letting Ning Wei win this award.

There are more than 130 institutions and experts qualified to recommend this year's National Science and Technology Award, among which Ning Wei's name appears more than 30 times. In other words, many of them are older generation scientists who have won the highest award and are still alive. recommended……

This makes the jury very difficult. If the final candidate is Ning Wei, it will be no problem if he gets more than half of the votes. But if he wins the top prize now, what will happen in the future? After all, for normal people at their physiological peak, Ningwei is far from the time when their intelligence and thoughts have truly matured, and the road ahead is too long.

Faced with the dilemma, Director Xu, the head of the Science and Technology Award Office, simply called Ning Wei.

The greeting may be a bit vague, but the meaning is actually translated into one sentence: "Professor Ning, do you want this award this year? If you do, you will definitely be able to judge for this award this year, or you may simply choose this award after you are 30 years old. Anyway, You can definitely get it.”

It is difficult to decide here, so we simply leave it to the parties involved to decide. This kind of thing has indeed never happened before, but there is nothing I can do about it. The results are too outstanding, and it seems that if you don't give them, you can't convince the public, and if you give them, you don't know how to reward them again.

After Ning Wei glanced at the winner of the highest technology award, he decisively refused.

It's true that I'm still a little embarrassed.

After all, the big guys who have won these awards have been working in their respective research fields for decades. His sudden rush is indeed a bit eye-catching.

The main reason is that he is not short of money now, and he doesn't value the eight million reward so much. And to be honest, Ning Wei doesn't value reputation very much.

If we have to say what Ning Wei pursues in terms of reputation, he still hopes that the award named after him in the future will become the most important scientific and technological award in the world, surpassing the Nobel, Fields, and Wolf awards. That kind of thing.

However, Ning Wei still gained something. Although the selection for the highest award was launched, Director Xu on the opposite side also hinted that Ning Wei still gained a lot in national science and technology awards this year. For example, the turbulence algorithm will definitely win the National Science Progress Award, The three-dimensional silicon silicon tube technology is bound to win the National Science and Technology Invention Award. At the same time, his paper at the STOC conference and his achievements in promoting strong artificial intelligence are enough to win the National Natural Science Award.

This phone call probably told Ning Wei that autumn has come to the harvest season.

In addition, there is actually another major event. Ning Wei's name has appeared on this year's list of candidates for academician recruitment, and it has been announced.

Although academicians from both academies recommended Ning Wei, in the end Ning Wei only appeared on the list of the Academy of Natural Sciences.

This is probably what the big guys mean. According to official information, Ning Wei has not yet passed his 25th birthday after all. It is indeed inappropriate to have a double academician at this time.

In addition, the achievements of outstanding young people have also passed the acceptance test. Before being evaluated as academicians, Ning Wei now also has the title of Outstanding Youth of China in his title. Baidu Encyclopedia immediately added this title.

Of course, these are not the most troublesome things for Ning Wei. He just needs to take a car out and make some speeches.

The key is that it's almost October and he has to start choosing his students. Not students from Ning's class, but his first batch of direct PhD students.

For Ning Wei, this matter is very important. If the students are well chosen, it will be easy for the tutors to train them, and the students can also have a good time during this period; if the students are not well chosen, they may end up hurting each other for several years.

It's as if he is really a direct Ph.D. student from Tian Yan. Lao Tian basically doesn't need to take care of him. He can just take care of him. He has everything he needs, and he can even be evaluated as an academician. This means he has chosen the right student; but if he encounters The kind of students who can't learn the topic no matter how they choose are in great trouble. Whether or not their children graduate is a headache...

Especially since this is the first batch of students he has taught, the meaning is even more different. It can be said that everyone has high hopes. He himself also hopes to have a group of capable and trustworthy assistants in three to five years.

Therefore, Ning Wei had to divert some of his energy to maintain communication with the students. Previously, this matter was left to March. March indeed worked hard to score these students, but March's modeling was too rational. It was purely through past results and interactive emails that these students made the most rational suggestions for Ningwei's understanding of previous papers. Model judgment.

In other words, the March grading only evaluates the learning, memory, and understanding abilities of these students. In addition to these, interpersonal interactions also include whether the personality is suitable. Although these can wait until the October interview to decide , but through daily email communication, Ningwei can have a more comprehensive understanding of these students.

Yes, the interviews for Ning Wei’s direct Ph.D. students have been scheduled for the 9th and 10th after the National Day. The main reason is that the places are so popular that it is basically impossible to have places for graduate students. Recommendations are coming like snowflakes. Letters, all the doubled quotas have been filled up early. Those who can enjoy the treatment of recommendation letters are top students from each school. Naturally, they have already been determined to get the exemption qualification...

In addition to selecting students next month, there are also invitations from many top universities. I hope Ning Wei can visit the school during this time and give a lecture or something. In fact, to put it bluntly, I just want Ning Wei to go to school and get familiar with the students he recommends first, so that he can be more confident during the interview.

It was easy for other schools to just refuse, but from Jiang University, Dean Kong called first and sincerely invited Ning Wei to come back to the Mathematical Institute to have a look. Principal Deng also called personally, hoping that Ning Wei could come here. In this golden autumn season, think about your alma mater. It’s hard to refuse such kindness!

In addition, Ning Ban has also started classes. Senior Brother Zhou, who is a counselor for the first time, insists on giving work reports every day. It is not good to deal with it, and it is not good to ignore it.

The Ningsi laboratory that Huawei is preparing to build often needs to coordinate with him on some technical issues. He also wants to design the instruction set as soon as possible to build a ladder for Ningsi's subsequent chip design work.

In addition, Ning Si may also send a group of people to study under the banner of assisting in research...

All the time added up, Ning Wei felt like he really wanted to blow himself up.

Every day when I open my eyes, I am busy with various things. I used to check my mailbox once a week, but now I have to check it twice every day to see the emails replied by students, and even accept some rainbow farts; then I started to build the entire instruction set system with March, from time to time Can we run digital simulations in March more efficiently?

During this period, there were often constant phone calls, and every call seemed important, because the discussions were about major events, or some important meeting invitations. He had to think of how to decline politely, and as for the systematic review of physics that he had agreed to do before, The study plan has been passively thrown out of the window.

Even though he was so busy, Ning Wei decided to go back to Jiangda. After all, that was his former alma mater...

However, I really couldn’t spare the time during the working day, so I decided to go there during the National Day holiday.

Anyway, I was just invited to give a lecture. Whether the students went to listen or not, it was completely voluntary. By the way, I met the mathematics student recommended to him by Dean Kong...

Of course, what's more important is that during the holidays, he can take classmate Jiang to Jiangcheng openly and openly. It's quite touching to think about being able to take classmate Jiang to take a look at the place where he once studied and lived.

In addition, Ning Wei also made a decision to free Yu Xingwei from the tedious teaching affairs of Ning Ban and let him stay in the laboratory. In addition to being his assistant, he could also help him teach Those direct PhD students.

Yu Xingwei is fully qualified to teach some basic courses.

The only thing that made Ning Wei hesitate was that he still didn't know what Yu Xingwei was thinking. Why do you want to focus on research or teaching? Although it is said that you can choose both, the two have been together for a long time. Ning Wei also knows that although Yu Xingwei's ability can be considered excellent, if he really spreads his energy, he wants to do both. The results are still relatively difficult, which requires a focus.

It would be hard for Ningwei to help Yu Xingwei make a decision in this regard. Now Yu Xingwei temporarily belongs to the lecturer series of Yanbei University. According to the school's regulations, main teaching positions like Yu Xingwei adopt the position performance salary system, and the basic salary is Benefits are borne by the school; employment costs for research technology positions are mainly borne by departments or research groups.

So now Yu Xingwei should still be satisfied with his salary.

Ning Wei can get a basic salary from the school and incorporate it into his research group. He can also get a research subsidy of about 30,000 yuan a month and a Ning class teacher allowance. In total, he can get five, An income of 600,000 yuan is basically no worse than many professors at Yanbei University.

But that is compared with teaching positions. With Yu Xingwei's current qualifications and level, if he goes to some technology companies, he should be able to earn more. So Ning Wei decided to go to the vocational school on the last day of September to have an in-depth talk with Yu Xingwei and discuss the National Day arrangements with classmate Jiang.

September was still a bit too stressful, and Ning Wei felt that she could relax a bit.

…

September 31, Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

It was a sunny day today, and Ning Wei rushed back to school from the laboratory early in the morning.

In fact, I wanted to go back to school last night, but I worked too late. I still couldn't find a good solution to the addressing problem caused by the internal structure of a processor. I accidentally discussed it with March until the early morning, and in the end I didn't even want to take a shower, I crawled into bed and went straight to sleep, let alone a special trip.

So it was postponed until today.

Rushing back to school, Ning Wei first took a look outside the classroom where Ning's class was held.

Because it is a small class, Ning's class's professional courses are basically arranged directly in the classroom of the research center, which is upstairs from Ning Wei's office.

It felt very good. Most of the children listened attentively. Of course, there were some exceptions. For example, Ning Wei saw several people immersed in answering questions, and then wrote down all the names in a small notebook...

It was just something that the high school teacher liked to do the most, but now that Ning Wei has learned it, it feels very interesting.

Then Ning Wei invited Yu Xingwei to his office.

"Brother Yu, have you been busy with Ningban lately?"

"Actually, Ningban is not very busy here. I have been doing some research on fuzzy logic recently and have made some progress. If you don't come back, I will go to the research center to find you to help me look at these things."

"Um?"

…

After hearing this, Ning Wei began to examine himself.

Basically, he ignored the people around him as soon as he got busy, and he didn't even know that Yu Xingwei had started to choose his own topic.

Of course he knows about fuzzy logic, which is also a direction of artificial intelligence research. Many people think that fuzzy logic is an extension of Boolean logic, but Ning Wei believes that this is not the case. In fact, including March, some ideas in fuzzy logic are also used.

However, there are actually many difficulties in this research, such as the determination of fuzzy rules. Without a relatively efficient setting, the linear and nonlinear processes used in CNN and RNN can directly replace it in many cases.

Part of Ning Wei's 209-page paper at the STOC conference discussed this link, but it did not go into depth. Strictly speaking, in-depth research in this direction will be of great help to research on specific intelligent applications, such as intelligent search, automatic braking systems for autonomous driving, processing of various rule sets through self-organizing fuzzy controllers, and even artificial intelligence. Intelligent precision marketing and more.

After all, for most people, they actually don’t know exactly what they need…

Of course, this is not actually a surprise.

Probably because he has been with Ning Wei for a long time, and Ning Wei's aura is indeed too dazzling, many people will unconsciously ignore the excellence of the people around Ning Wei.

In any case, Yu Xingwei was also an outstanding figure who represented the Chinese national team abroad to participate in the international modeling competition. Based on this, he was directly recommended to Hua University of Science and Technology for undergraduate study. Then he was directly recommended to the graduate school of the school. After graduating from the graduate school, he could also pass After the assessment of the academician boss, he became a doctoral student in the top ten universities in China. How could this journey go so smoothly if he was not capable?

Even though many people now think that it is pure luck that Yu Xingwei follows Ning Wei and gets into many top and second publications, but Ning Wei feels that it cannot be said that Yu Xingwei only relies on luck. At least during the time when Lao Yu was studying for his Ph.D. Some theoretical things have been sorted out, which is why Ning Wei previously preferred to let Yu Xingwei teach in Ningban.

Asking Yu Xingwei to come to class may have better results than going to class in person. Because some basic knowledge points are really not difficult to get...

In fact, this is similar to the situation of professors who always produce results in many research areas, but whose teaching results are not satisfactory. They always feel that students will understand something that they think is very simple, so they will not emphasize it again and again. Many times, because I feel that some steps are too simple and easy to understand at a glance, I just go through them in one sentence.

It’s actually very painful for students to have such tutors. If you don’t understand, you definitely still want to ask them, but if you ask these easily accessible questions too often, students who are a little more psychologically fragile are likely to be dissatisfied with their tutors. The look in his eyes produced some subtle reactions, and he fell into denial of his own intelligence.

Really, many times it is not that the tutor deliberately embarrasses the students, but that the kind of caring eyes that are shown subconsciously cannot be hidden at all, especially the kind of caring eyes that care for the mentally retarded. Sometimes without paying attention, they subconsciously say "It's so simple." Don’t you understand?” That’s even more shocking.

This is also the reason why Ning Ban didn’t arrange any courses for Ning Wei during his freshman and sophomore years. Ning Ban is all good young people, so don’t be so shocked that you lose all your confidence. It’s not good...
