Time Travel: 2014

If you set up a personal studio, Lin Hui won't need to do many things personally.

In this way, Lin Hui will undoubtedly be relieved from the heavy work.

This way he has time to do more meaningful things.

And the studio can have a certain appeal for talents.

This is still helpful for the initial team building.

The most important thing is that establishing a studio will not affect Lin Hui's current plan to make a fortune quietly.

After all, the most indispensable thing in this world is a studio.

The Internet industry is full of studios.

Even if Lin Hui sets up a studio, not many people will pay attention.

I have to say that Huang Jing’s suggestion is great.

Still, building a studio doesn’t happen overnight.

After all, there is a shortage of major generals under his command, so everything can only be considered in the long term.

Lin Hui said (to Huang Jing): Thank you for your suggestion. I will seriously consider the feasibility.

Huang Jing said: Okay, when will your studio be established? If you are short of manpower, tell me and I can introduce you to some of my former friends.

Um, is there such a good thing?

Those who can join Apple must have many big names in the industry.

Lin Hui: Well, I will definitely welcome you when the time comes.

Huang Jing: Haha, is it necessary to be so exaggerated...

Lin Hui: ...

Huang Jing: By the way, because you won the award, the official may arrange an exclusive interview with you recently...

Lin Hui: (⊙﹏⊙)ah? Exclusive interview? Why don't we say goodbye.

Huang Jing: No problem, online interview.

Lin Hui: Oh, online interview, that's no problem.

Lin Hui's attitude was that of the two of them.

Huang Jing was thoughtful.

Huang Jing: I find that you seem to be very afraid of trouble, and you prefer to avoid public appearances. You are simply an anomaly among developers...

Lin Hui: Of course I'm afraid of trouble. Developers are all a bit geeky, so it's not normal to hate being in the public eye.

Huang Jing: No, it's just that you are a nerd. I know many developers who are not nerds. Not only are they not nerds, but they also have a wide range of friends.

Even some people who are relatively boring in daily life are still very active online.

Lin Hui: Am I not active online? I am on Weibo, Twitter, etc...

Huang Jing: You only go online occasionally. Most of the content is lottery. How active is it?

Lin Hui smiled sheepishly: Are you following me too? I didn't even notice it. What's your ID? I'll check back later.

Huang Jing: Huh? No need to reply. I usually use Twitter more and I rarely use Weibo. I mainly read the content posted by others.

Also, please don't interrupt me. Weren't we still discussing the issue of activity just now?

Lin Hui: Okay, okay, what do you think is active? Do you need to post a lot of updates?

Huang Jing: “I don’t necessarily have to post a lot of updates, but I think I can often share my life and so on.”

Lin Hui: Um, sharing your life? It feels like there is no privacy. I'm afraid the state you are talking about is not the daily life of a writer or photographer. I feel that in reality very few developers would record their lives publicly.

Huang Jing: Why aren't there? Not only are there, but there are quite a few...

Lin Hui: Okay, think about it slowly...but it's best to give some representative examples.

Huang Jing: Representative? Well, let me think about it...

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Many minutes passed.

Huang Jing suddenly said: By the way, do you know Nick D'Aloisio? He often shares his life on Twitter? How about this? Is this representative enough?

(⊙﹏⊙) Lin Hui originally thought that Huang Jing would give examples of people who like to talk too much.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jing actually used Nick D'Aloisio as an example.

Although this person is unfamiliar to ordinary people.

But almost without thinking, Lin Hui remembered who Huang Jing was talking about, Nick D’Aloisio.

No way, it's hard not to remember.

The Internet industry has always been full of geniuses.

And Nick D'Aloisio is one of those geniuses.

Most boys are still obsessed with the wonders of the Creator when they are 15 years old.

Nick D'Aloisio (when he was 15 years old) had independently developed a mobile news reading software called Summly.

The software can automatically condense any news content into a 400-word summary, allowing users to read the news quickly.

On March 25, 2013, 17-year-old Nick sold this software to the American company Yahoo and earned US$30 million.

After that, Nick also became the youngest multi-millionaire in the world.

Later, Nick joined Yahoo directly and became the youngest engineer in Yahoo's history.

Nick D'Aloisio was also named one of the Most Influential Young People in the World in 2013 by Time Magazine of the United States.

Although there is still a gap between such a person and a super genius.

But he is definitely considered a genius.

And if you can sweep away tens of millions of dollars at a time, you are even considered lucky.

Although such people are not dead.

But it’s almost the same as cheating.

(Lin Hui doesn’t know if there is a main god in the world.

If so, please open it harder!

Otherwise, as a reborn person, it would be embarrassing to be beaten by the natives)

This year (2014) Yahoo News Digest also won the Apple Design Award.

(...This software is only updated twice a day in the morning and evening, and each time it selects 7-10 high-quality articles for users)

If Lin Hui remembered correctly, Nick's shadow was behind the software Yahoo News Digest.

If that's really the case.

So Nick, who happens to be 18 this year, should also be invited to participate in this year's WWDC.

Could it be that we will meet this person again at WWDC?

Although Lin Hui longs to meet excellent developers.

But he didn't really want to meet this kind of person.

I remember Nick even made such remarks:

——When I get tired of studying, I turn to Yahoo; and when I get tired of working at Yahoo, I turn to studying.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself.

The weird thing is that (Nick) said this in front of a group of Yahoo executives.

Anyway, Lin Hui felt that Nick didn't have a very high emotional intelligence.

…

Although Nick's development history in the past is quite glorious.

But that doesn't mean Lin Hui agrees with his social style.

And when had Lin Hui ever been so timid?

He immediately retorted: Well, his frequency of tweeting is so active that he looks like a fake? People like him are an anomaly among developers.

Huang Jing burst into laughter: What does it mean to be 'active like a high imitation'? Do you describe it like this? You can't be jealous.

Lin Hui: Just such a mediocre software can make a profit of 30 million US dollars. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Huang Jing: Is this very trendy software good? But when it comes to natural language processing, why is it so mediocre?

Lin Hui: Haha.

To be honest, Lin Hui was reborn too late.

Otherwise, this good thing of 30 million US dollars can get this Nick's turn?

Perhaps the so-called news summary developed by Nick is considered a black technology in this era.

But in Lin Hui's eyes, it was indeed unremarkable.

AI was terrible in the previous life.

Various natural language processing applications are also emerging in endlessly.

Crazy involved Internet companies are even planning to use AI+natural language processing to write abstracts for papers.

The application of writing an overview of news is completely a small case.

Directly based on deep semantic analysis models.

Automatically extract key information from news text and generate a news summary of a specified length.

In the next few years, there will be a lot of open source code for this crappy technology.

In this time and space, it can still be sold for 30 million US dollars?

It can only be said that the times are progressing really fast!

For a moment, Lin Hui felt like he had missed out on 100 million.

No!

More than just missing out on 100 million!

Thirty million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is close to 200 million U.S. dollars.

But then again.

Although I missed it, I didn’t miss it completely.

What if I develop an APP that is better than Yahoo News Digest?

Then it was sold to Yahoo.

wrong!

Wouldn’t it be nice to sell to a competitor of Yahoo?

You don’t even need to develop an entire APP.

Just figure out the core summary algorithm.

This is simply not too easy.

After all, this simple application of AI + natural language processing

Lin Hui doesn’t even need to write the code himself.

There is a high probability that you can find ready-made examples in some AI tutorials in previous lives.

Well, it suddenly seemed like a huge fortune was within easy reach again.
