Cyber Heroes

Three years ago, Xiangshan took Youki to the Jayhawk Building in the same way.

Also following at that time were two young knights from the Red Stone Sect, Cui Hui and Huang Coupuang. In addition, my sister, who is not yet named Panike, is also there.

At that time, Yuki's internal defense was actually not much stronger than it is now.

But at that time, Yuki was not afraid of anything.

At that time, Yuki believed that the master was very strong.

But now, Yuki understands that the master is very strong, but it has nothing to do with him at the moment.

According to Master's character, if he says he won't help, he really won't help.

He said this is a test, so he must complete it by himself.

So Yuki was afraid instead.

If he failed the exam, both he and his master might be held down by the officials on the spot.

Yuki closed his prosthetic eyes and didn't look at anything. He held the handrail of the stairs with his left hand and went upstairs with the help of the gait assist program.

Anyway, this staircase has the same height in every episode, so you can easily go up like this.

Yuki just fell into darkness.

He originally wanted to focus all his attention on the code in his head. Unlike Xiang Shan, he has not yet been able to memorize the code completely.

He must re-export.

Although in theory, this is something he has done thousands of times. Xiangshan used to ask him to do daily training, just to write this kind of patch.

This should be something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

But now, he can't do it well.

Yuki felt like the whole world was moving away from him. He was trapped on a narrow staircase - in the darkness, it seemed like this was the only staircase left in the world. Moreover, there are no protective measures on this section of stairs, and he may fall down at any time.

Even though he was holding onto the wall, that was how he felt.

In the darkness, there is great unspeakable malice. "It" may come over at any time and destroy itself.

--hateful……

Yuki clenched his fists.

He couldn't even use his inner strength to read the code of those patches.

Xiang Shan was in front of him and said leisurely: "You can't do this at all, my friend. Do you remember what I told you? If you don't calm down, you can't understand the code smoothly. That's a 'foreign language'..."

Yuki gritted his teeth: "Wow, I never know what a 'foreign language' is in my whole life..."

Shrugged towards the mountains.

In this era, all imagined communities in the past have been violently destroyed by patrons, and human beings are mixed together in a deformed way. Language no longer distinguishes origin, and all characters can be mixed together according to an arbitrary rule. For people of Yuki's generation, those "unseen characters of other languages" have the same status as "rare words in the mother tongue". They have no doubts that "a concept can be pronounced and written in many different ways."

It’s not that this kind of language is bad, it’s not that it has no beauty. If humans could communicate in this way in the old age, perhaps there would be much less disputes in the world.

But Xiangshan has always felt that the birth of this kind of language cannot be based on the "violent destruction of all old language systems."

"The mind is like a clear mirror that stills water. It responds to signals when they come, and ignores signals when they pass." Xiang Shan said: "If your mind is confused, you won't be able to understand the language of the machine."

The code itself is not meant for humans - at least not a completely human-oriented language. It is the interlanguage between human language and machine language.

To humans, code is like a "foreign language"—a foreign language with some of the machine's grammatical rules.

Machines use logic gates as neurons and integrated circuits as thinking organs. This thinking organ is incompatible with natural human language.

Machines have a machine language—explicit instructions for on and off, 0s and 1s, or and neither. This is what machines can understand.

If humans want to control powerful machines, they must use the language of machines.

In ancient times, machines had no intelligence, so they only needed an "on and off" button to issue commands.

However, after a machine acquires intelligence, it must learn the language of the machine.

But the human brain is not suited to machine language either. Not everyone can learn this kind of thing.

Only programmers who have learned the language of machines can communicate with computers.

The job of the programmer is to agree with the machine and agree on some simple "routines" so that ordinary people who cannot communicate with the machine can also interact with the machine.

Even for programmers, code is as awkward and difficult to use as a second language.

When humans learn a second language, they will encounter a hurdle called "language fossilization."

Many foreign language learners may stall for a period of time after reaching a certain level in their foreign language. Their brains will automatically build a system of "interlanguage". "Interlanguage" is not the native language of the language learner, nor is it the target language, but it has the characteristics of the native language and the target language at the same time. It is a language that is between the two, still has certain defects or is not very authentic. It is a language that is in the mother tongue. a continuum or borderline between the target language and the target language.

After reaching this stage, foreign language learners will start to stop progressing. Ninety-five percent of second language learners cannot overcome this hurdle and become more rigid as they learn.

This process is called "language fossilization."

A long time ago, Ingrid proposed this idea when chatting with Zhu Xinyu - high-level language may be the fossilized product of language that is produced when humans learn the language of machines.

And this may be why the differences in programmer abilities are so significant.

There is a huge difference in language ability between people who use a second language as proficiently as their native language and people who can barely read the second language. Most people can easily spot a foreigner learning their native language. Communicating with others in a broken second language is naturally not as efficient as the former.

The same goes for machines. Machines can easily understand all the instructions of a powerful programmer. The programmer's own code is "smelly" and has a "weird accent", so the machine cannot execute it quickly.

"Being affected by fear only proves that your internal skills are still lingering at the door." Xiang Shan said: "If you can't train the output code to be as natural as speaking, you won't be able to develop advanced internal skills. This is just the beginning. "

Of course, this is an exaggeration.

The instruction context and the language context do not need to go to this extent. If you achieve this step, you will have achieved great perfection in your language realm.

There is such a requirement only in the language context.

Xiang Shan was just catalyzing the anxiety in his disciple's heart.

It can be regarded as adding a little difficulty to the exam.

Soon, Yuki missed the mark. There are no steps ahead. He almost fell to the ground.

The 100th floor has arrived.

Xiang Shan patted his shoulder and pulled him under a window.

"Come on, test your achievements in the past three years."
