Genius of the Rules-Style System

"The significance of the Turing Award is the $250,000 prize?"

"This is an insult to the Turing Award!"

The foreign reporter who asked the question gritted his teeth with hatred. She really had nothing to do with the Turing Award. She just wanted to report on the news she came to interview, but it was really hard to accept what she said.

For those awards that have little impact, bonuses are indeed of greatest significance.

For example, the Shaw Prize.

The Shaw Prize has just been awarded for three times. It has little influence in the world, but it is very attractive because the winner can receive a prize of US$1 million.

Bonuses are a development strategy.

When many heavyweights receive the award, and the award is widely reported by the media and recognized by many people, it will naturally develop influence.

on the contrary.

The significance of those awards that are recognized as the world's top no longer lies in the prize money, but the award itself.

The Turing Award is the highest award in the computer industry and is considered the 'Nobel' of computers.

Turing Award winners will receive huge fame as a result of winning the award, and will also be widely reported by the media, and their personal influence will reach the top level.

Even people who were unknown before will soon become famous because of winning awards.

In the face of the achievement of winning the Turing Award, the $250,000 bonus is not worth mentioning at all. At most, it serves as the icing on the cake.

Now Zhao Yi actually said that the significance of winning the Turing Award is only the US$250,000 bonus, which is a bit unacceptable.

The reporter did not refute anything on the spot, because Zhao Yi's statement was a bit lofty.

“Awards are awarded because the research is recognized, not because the research is recognized.”

This sentence expresses the fundamental reason for winning the award. The content is so thought-provoking that it is difficult to refute it.

But reality is often different.

Scientific research in many fields does not receive much attention, and even other researchers in the field do not necessarily know who did the famous research.

Many scientific research results are famous, but the people who researched them are unknown.

Therefore, the recognition of scientific research results does not mean that the people who made the results will be recognized. The names of scientific researchers may not be noticed. Most people in the industry only care about the content of the results, not who specifically did the research.

The role of awards is reflected here. Some unknown scientific researchers will become famous because of winning awards.

This is even more true outside the field of scientific research.

A Nobel Prize winner will receive a lot of attention from the outside world, but only a few people will care. The specific reason why he won the Nobel Prize is probably because most scientific research is far away from the public, and even if they know the content of the research, they cannot understand it.

Therefore, many people still regret that Zhao Yi did not win the Turing Award. They subconsciously feel that he did not care because he did not win the award, and deliberately said that the bonus was more important.

Later, when I thought about it again, I came to my senses!

Does Zhao Yi need a Turing Award?

Is it really necessary?

Zhao Yi's fame and influence are already great enough. Even in European and American countries, many ordinary people know his name, let alone in academic circles. It cannot be said for sure that everyone knows it, but his popularity is by no means inferior. Nobel Prize winners in many fields do not need the fame brought by the Turing Award at all.

Not to mention influence.

In the field of computers, Zhao Yi became famous for his screening method. In fact, he used computer methods to crack the Kakutani conjecture. He also used the screening method to develop a method of amplifying signals. In the collision test experiment, he discovered the properties of new particles. Signal.

Zhao Yi is not only a recognized master of algorithms, but also brings computer methods to other fields and has achieved top-notch research results.

In the field of computer research in the world, Zhao Yi has been recognized as the top person. Because of this, his failure to win the Turing Award caused controversy. The Turing Award Selection Committee had to stand up and explain. The Turing Award Its impartiality has also been questioned.

Therefore, Zhao Yi does not need the influence brought by the Turing Award.

Zhao Yi is telling the truth. To him, the US$250,000 bonus is more meaningful than the Turing Award itself.

…

After Zhao Yi answered a few questions, he turned around and left home.

He doesn't care what reporters think.

In fact, Zhao Yi is still very unhappy. He mainly feels that he has received 250,000 U.S. dollars less, which is almost 2 million yuan when converted into RMB. However, he is really not interested in the Turing Award.

He was not just reborn. If he had won the Turing Award two years ago, he would have been very excited and surprised.

It feels a lot lighter now.

In the fields of mathematics and computer research, he has been recognized as the best in the world. He has also achieved certain results in physics and biological research. Just talking about the computer field, he is recognized as the top algorithm master. I want to find someone who can compare with him. None of it is easy.

So does the Turing Award matter?

Just like Steve Hawking, does he need the Nobel Prize in Physics?

Even if Hawking did not win the Nobel Prize in Physics, he is still recognized as one of the greatest physicists. Many people who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics cannot be compared with Hawking.

Now Zhao Yi has a similar feeling, it doesn't matter about awards or anything.

He continued to do his own thing.

Read a book.

He already has some ideas on the research on performance sharing theory. The first thing is to construct the required framework support. The content needs to enumerate the required permissions, and he must study the underlying protocol.

Computers contain many basic protocols. The unified protocol framework can be understood as the rules for computer operation. Whether it is hardware drivers, software use or network interaction, all must be carried out under these unified rules.

When every computer has the same rules, normal information exchange can be carried out with the support of a complete system.

If you want to achieve "performance sharing", you must involve the underlying rules, that is, the underlying protocol of the computer.

Starting from the research on the underlying protocol, combined with the logic of hardware operation, and finally implementing it at the software level, this is the research process of performance sharing.

For Zhao Yi, the software level is the easiest, while the bottom layer is the most difficult.

He wants the hard stuff first and then the easy stuff.

Therefore, while staying at home, he continued to read various books and learn all aspects of knowledge to enrich his knowledge reserve.

The winter vacation passed quickly, and it was time to start school in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Yi ended his life of sitting at home reading and took a plane back to Yanhua University.

at the same time.

There are still many controversial reports about the Turing Award in public opinion.

The news of Zhao Yi's interview was immediately reported, and there were several related reports abroad. Some media ridiculed him as 'a loser' and 'pretended to say he didn't care, but actually he did.' Some media analysts believed that, What he said is the truth.

The "California Living" program reported on the news. The host commented, "That is a super genius who was considered the top pediatrician at the age of 20. Would he care about a Turing Award?"

"If he can't win the Turing Award, he can still win the Fields. Anyway, it's just a computer. Anyway, his achievements are mainly in the field of mathematics."

"The Turing Award selection committee decided not to award him the award, which would only be their loss. Now the loss has come, and the fairness of the award has been questioned."

"There is no doubt that for any award, fairness is the most basic thing. If fairness is lost, the award will no longer be meaningful."

"Perhaps now, the Turing Award selection committee is regretting their decision."

This sentence hits the point.

The Turing Award Selection Committee is divided into two groups regarding this year's nominees. One group believes that Zhao Yi is a normal nominee and is qualified to win the Turing Award.

The other group denies Zhao Yi's qualifications for the award. They believe that the Turing Award can only be awarded to members of the Computer Association of M, and there has been no precedent of awarding it to "outsiders" for decades.

This is where the contradiction lies.

In the end, Zhao Yi's qualifications for the selection were cancelled, and naturally it was impossible to win the Turing Award.

The Turing Award Selection Committee will certainly not publicly say that Zhao Yi is not qualified for selection, because the award’s selection rules and regulations stipulate that ‘anyone is eligible to be nominated’, not just members of the Computer Association of Country M.

The selection for the Turing Award has ended.

The controversy in public opinion will gradually disappear over time, but it is not that easy to recover from the doubts raised about the Turing Award selection.

…

Zhao Yi, like other students, returned directly to Yanhua University.

He first dragged his luggage to the staff dormitory, put down some things, and then went to the student dormitory.

Everyone in the dormitory is here.

Li Renzhe and Fan Lei were playing games, while Meng Zheng was listening to music with headphones and holding a sports magazine in his hand.

Zhao Yi was not noticed when he walked in. He put his suitcase on the stool before Li Renzhe saw him, "Zhao Yi, you're back!"

"It's quite late this time!"

Fan Lei also asked, "Did you just come back or just come to the dormitory?"

"Come back, I arrived today."

Zhao Yi smiled and said a few words, then simply arranged his things and put the computer on the table. Li Renzhe and Fan Lei finished playing the game.

Li Renzhe directly talked about the topic he was most concerned about, "Are you going to start classes this semester? Remember to get us in." What he meant was to ask Zhao Yi to directly pull their names and let them choose Zhao Yi's class.

"no problem."

Zhao Yi had promised a long time ago to let them choose their own classes.

"That's it!"

Li Renzhe smiled and said, "I will definitely come first in my buddy's class, no problem!"

Fan Lei smiled and said, "I'll try my best!"

Meng Zheng said, "It's too difficult. I've read that paper and I can't understand it at all."

"It doesn't matter whether he understands it or not, I want to be the first in the exam anyway."

Li Renzhe's statement was very stubborn. After he finished speaking, he no longer discussed with Meng Zheng, but greeted Zhao Yida, "Come on, let's play games!"

"continue!"

Fan Lei also greeted.

Zhao Yi turned on the computer and subconsciously logged into Penguin. He found that he had received a verification message from a friend. The verification message read, "I am the roommate of your roommate's girlfriend!"

"What the hell?"

Zhao Yi quickly turned his head to look at Li Renzhe, pointed at the verification on the screen and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"what!"

Li Renzhe came over confused and immediately laughed and explained, "It's Huang Wenqian. I had dinner with her two days ago. Her roommate asked me for your mobile phone number. I knew I couldn't give it to you casually, so I thought I'd give her a Penguin number. .”

"You don't mind, do you? Anyway, just don't add it."

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "How is your appearance?"

"Are you asking about his appearance?"

Li Renzhe thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it fits my aesthetics quite well."

"Is it enough to be better than Huang Wenqian?" Fan Lei complained additionally.

Li Renzhe gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty.

"Hahaha……"

Meng Zheng laughed.

Zhao Yi coughed slightly and said, "I'm just asking, it's okay, just don't tell me your mobile phone number."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Renzhe, thinking about the first class of school. Should he and Li Renzhe walk slowly there together?

Just one minute late.

This semester’s classes…

Decided!

A total of two counts of lateness and truancy were counted, and once they were calculated as normal, they were divided into half. Students who were counted as late or truant had no choice but to be unlucky.

Luck is also a very important part of life!
