Xueba's computing system

Chapter 191 Metaphysics
What Lin Yuan did at the Blue Label Factory was very simple, which was to repeat what he had done at the Haotuan.

Straightforward and simple, without any fancy words.

Blue Label also has an internal research institute similar to Haotuan, but because Blue Label is under the Alibaba system, its size is not as large as Haotuan. After all, Haotuan did not start out with food delivery, it also has many other businesses.

Therefore, the internal research institute of the Blue Label Factory is actually a derivative of the internal research institute of the Alibaba system, and can be understood as a branch of the Alibaba Damo Academy that specializes in the field of food delivery.

So this time, the people called by Blue Label Factory to cooperate with Lin Yuan were from Alibaba Damo Academy.

Alibaba Damo Academy is a well-known company in the IT industry. Especially in the past few years, when Jack Ma was still in the limelight, it was the largest company in the IT industry. Although it has declined a bit now, it is still a big company like Alibaba Group.

Simply put, the place Gu Xuan most wanted to go after graduation was the Dharma Academy.

But at this moment, the senior researcher sent by the Dharma Academy was asking Lin Yuan for advice.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. We would like to know whether the delivery algorithm of Haotuan is really realized through the Feng Shui AI concept publicly available on the market?"

“We searched all open source materials and tried various models, but we just couldn’t achieve compatibility with a good grouping algorithm. We even went to Laojun Mountain to find a famous Taoist master to ask about Feng Shui.

But we really don’t know how to use Feng Shui and the Five Elements to complete the modeling of takeaway data.

In short, the concept of Feng Shui AI is too vague. "

"Honestly, if Musk hadn't pushed us so hard we wouldn't have even looked at it."

Lin Yuan was a little curious, "Musk is advocating this?"

“Yeah. You can pay attention to the information on the Internet. Musk said that he would use the gossip symbol on the latest Falcon rocket.”

Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Musk to still be here. He had been focusing on his family recently, so he really didn't pay attention to any information on the Internet.

"Keep talking." Lin Yuan asked the engineers from DAMO Academy to continue expressing their opinions.

"Musk is always making some gimmicks, and we thought that this Feng Shui AI was another one he created to fool people, so we wanted to give it a try. But we didn't expect Haotuan to suddenly announce that their algorithm was the product of the Feng Shui AI concept.

Everyone knows what happened next.”

The researchers at the DAMO Academy looked depressed, because what happened next was that Haotuan, with its new delivery algorithm, surpassed Blue Label Factory at the fundamental principle level.

The Blue Label Factory was about to lose sight of other people’s car taillights.

"Mr. Lin, we have contacted many consulting companies and have confirmed that you are leading the research on new delivery algorithms at Haotuan. Please tell us about it as soon as possible."

Lin Yuan was a little embarrassed. No wonder the Blue Label Factory didn't even ask him a single technical question when he first came here.

Sure enough, the Blue Label Factory had already used various means to understand itself in advance.

This also fits Lin Yuan's guess—that group of consulting companies are indeed also engaged in the collection of business intelligence.

Come to think of it, why else would consulting companies make so much money? Business information and business intelligence are just a veil between us.

Under the expectant eyes of the DAMO Academy researchers, Lin Yuan finally spoke, "The algorithm of the good group is indeed based on the Feng Shui AI concept..."

Now everyone stretched their necks even longer.

"As for why you can't reproduce the other party's algorithm, I think it's because you haven't combined the Zhouyi Five Elements and Eight Diagrams well enough..."

Lin Yuan started to deceive people.

What he said at the moment was all his own free expression. If he were to repeat it again, it would be hard for him to guarantee that it would be exactly the same as the first time. "In short, the key is combination.

Those who understand Feng Shui may not necessarily understand AI, and those who understand AI may not necessarily understand Feng Shui.

Only by combining the two can we build an effective and reasonable algorithm. "

“So Mr. Lin is the person who best understands the combination of Feng Shui and AI?”

"Me?" Lin Yuan said modestly, "I really don't deserve this. To be honest, before the algorithm is tested and the results are out, I don't know whether the algorithm is useful or not."

Lin Yuan was telling the truth.

Because the Feng Shui AI concept is completely created through the computing system, Lin Yuan only assists the system in completing data collection.

Before the algorithm is tested, he cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the algorithm, because the algorithm's output process requires multiple interactions with the system.

Simply put, Lin Yuan does not actually produce algorithms, he is just an algorithm porter.

He is the bridge between the computing system and reality.

"Boss Lin, is there no... incisive summary of the principle?"

"Do you want to summarize a paper of dozens or hundreds of pages in one golden sentence?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."

"No." Lin Yuan bluntly poured cold water on everyone, "You can understand it as: this is a craft. The principle is simple, it is written in the Book of Changes. It is also difficult, the ancients were very frugal with words, and the writing is too general, there are too many angles to understand.

You can think of it this way: the combination of Feng Shui and AI is mainly a combination of techniques, rather than a deep study of the principles. "

“Technology, not principles?”

"Right. Just like an internal combustion engine, that's the same thing. Fuel burns, expanding gases move a piston, and the cycle repeats. But we've been catching up in engines for years. That's pretty much it."

After listening to Lin Yuan's speech, the researchers had more questions in their heads, because this completely overturned their understanding of IT disciplines.

In fact, this does transcend the usual thinking mode in the IT field, because this is just something Lin Yuan made up.

If I don't make up this nonsense and really want to give an explanation at the principle level, it will be useless.

Could it be that Lin Yuan was going to find a cutting machine to dissect the system in his head?

Fortunately, AI has become more and more mysterious as it has developed, and is about to be linked to fortune-telling. Lin Yuan is just stepping on the accelerator of this trend.

Finally, a researcher at the scene whispered, "Isn't this AI fortune-telling? It cannot be described with a detailed mathematical formula, but can only be summarized through a set of specious logic. Isn't this fortune-telling?"

"You are right. I also think it is fortune-telling." Lin Yuan stepped on the accelerator again.

But some researchers disagree. "I don't think so. If a problem cannot be answered immediately, then it must be the wrong direction. Or our current level of technology cannot reach the level required to solve the problem. But we should never attribute such problems to metaphysics."

Lin Yuan did not refute, but let it go with a Taoist attitude of inaction.

He didn't care anyway. Lin Yuan didn't come here to argue with anyone or to prove anything.

He came here for two things: one was to get his place back from the good group, and the other was to make some money.
