Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 16 The Breath of Life
He and his sister knew very well how good their aunt was to them.

Since my uncle has been working away from home all year round and is busy earning money to support the family, most of the household affairs fall on my aunt's shoulders.

Ever since their parents passed away, their aunt has been caring and concerned about them.

From then on, my aunt often urged my sister to stop living in the school dormitory and go directly to her place during the weekends.

But my sister has always been used to being free and casual, and is not used to living under someone else's roof.

I always feel uncomfortable living in someone else's house, even if it's my uncle's house.

Out of concern for his sister, he finally agreed to let her live on campus most of the time and only come home occasionally.

Since returning from school during the winter vacation, Li Ping'an has been concentrating on the development of artificial intelligence. He has been so busy that he has not even had time to visit his uncle.

Thinking about it now, it’s really hard to justify.

Not to mention visiting his grandfather who lived with his uncle, Li Pingan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

As night fell and the lights came on, Li Ping'an was busy in the kitchen for a while and finally cooked dinner.

As usual, he sent a message to his sister, asking her to come downstairs for dinner.

Tonight's dinner was not sumptuous or luxurious; it was just a big pot of stew made from various leftovers.

But don’t underestimate this dish that doesn’t look good, it tastes unexpectedly delicious and has a unique flavor.

He and his sister both like this hodgepodge pot.

After a while, seeing his sister coming downstairs, Li Pingan said as he put the dishes and chopsticks on the table:
"My uncle called and asked us to go to his house for lunch tomorrow at noon."

As he spoke, he looked up at his sister and said with a hint of caution: "Don't go out and not wash your face like you usually do when you get up tomorrow morning."

"Uncle is calling us to eat?" Li Ya was slightly startled, then asked.

"Yeah." Li Pingan responded simply.

"By the way, brother, your Pokemon app is really useful!"

Li Ya seemed to suddenly remember something and said excitedly, "My classmates said it was great after trying it. It has very powerful functions."

"If you come across a question you don't know how to answer, you can take a photo and upload it to your pet, and it will answer it. But there are also many questions that the pet can't answer."

As she spoke, she frowned slightly again and commented with some regret:

"It's just that the interface design is a little ugly. It would be perfect if it could be prettier."

Listening to his sister's comments, Li Ping'an was overjoyed.

If the Pokemon app can capture the hearts of children, there is no need to worry about whether it can capture the hearts of adults!

Li Pingan was not surprised that he couldn't answer some of the questions his sister asked.

There are no similar questions on the Internet, and there is no corresponding data in the database. It would be incredible if you could solve them.

With the performance of the mobile phone, it is good enough to be able to solve some problems.

To be more intelligent, we need more complete artificial intelligence and supporting hardware facilities.

Obviously, Li Ping'an cannot satisfy these two needs in a short period of time.

"Your brother, I only develop software, not an omniscient god."

The next morning, the sun was lazily shining on the earth, and Li Ping'an kept urging his sister downstairs.

After a long time, Li Ya, who had carefully dressed up and tied her hair into a playful bun, came downstairs humming a cheerful tune that Li Ping'an had never heard before, and skipped downstairs.

"I've urged you eight hundred times, but you're really slow." Li Ya heard this and rolled her eyes at her brother mischievously, then retorted:
"Brother, you have to be careful in the future since you are so impatient. It may be hard for you to find a girlfriend. Girls always need to spend some time to dress up before going out."

Li Pingan shook his head helplessly and did not continue to argue with his sister. He just silently threw a pair of thick leather gloves to her and said with concern:
"If you don't want your hands to get frozen, put on gloves. It's freezing cold, don't get frozen."

"Okay~" Li Ya responded obediently and quickly put on gloves.

After the two of them were fully armed, Li Ping'an was still worried, so he went forward and pulled the door hard. After carefully confirming that the door was locked, he got on the electric bike and drove slowly towards his uncle's house with his sister.

My uncle's house is not too far away. It is just about one kilometer away from my sister's school on the street towards the county town.

As it was still early, Li Ping'an was in a particularly relaxed mood and was not in a hurry to travel, so he rode his small electric scooter slowly forward.

Enjoy the rare tranquility and comfort in this winter.

Li Ya, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't hold back her temper anymore. She patted Li Ping'an's shoulder gently and urged him:

"Brother, you should ride faster. You are riding as slowly as a snail."

"Safety first, why rush?" Li Pingan responded slowly.

"Haha~~~Twenty yards, it's really safe."

Ten minutes later, the two men came to the street.

Li Pingan slowly stopped the electric bike, turned around and said to his sister, "Get off the bike, let's buy some things to take over."

“Oh~~~~” Li Ya responded and jumped out of the car.

At this time, the butcher shop was crowded with people, and it was very lively. People came to buy New Year's goods shoulder to shoulder, and everyone's face was filled with joy and anticipation for the upcoming festival.

These customers are extremely generous when buying pork, often cutting dozens of kilograms of meat at a time.

Because in the local area, most of this fresh pork will be taken home and carefully pickled into delicious bacon to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

"Boss, cut me a piece of hind leg meat, about ten pounds." Li Ping'an said loudly to the butcher.

"Okay!" The boss responded readily, and then he picked up the knife and chopped it off with great skill. He cut quickly and accurately cut off a piece of hind leg meat in a short while.

He threw the meat onto the electronic scale, and hey! The weight was exactly one ounce more or less, exactly ten pounds!
"14 yuan per pound, a total of 140 yuan."

The boss skillfully put the pork into a red convenient bag and placed it aside, while continuing to chop meat for other customers without looking back, as if he was not worried at all that Li Pingan would take the meat without paying.

"140 yuan has been credited to my Alipay account."

As the audio prompt in the store sounded, Li Pingan shouted to the boss: "Boss, the money has been sent."

"Okay, got it."

The boss responded casually without stopping the work in his hands.

Li Ping'an then bought some fresh fruits at a street fruit stall and specially picked out a pair of warm and comfortable woolen shoes for his grandfather.

After everything was purchased, he handed all the heavy things in his hand to his sister, and reminded her:
"It's a bit heavy, please hold it carefully."

The reason why Li Ping'an asked his sister to wear gloves before was to make it easier for her to pick up things at this moment.

I remember that in the first year, my sister was not very willing to wear gloves. She thought it was not cool enough and always kept her hands in her pockets.

But over the past few years, after suffering from frozen hands several times, she has learned her lesson and now wears gloves obediently and no longer tries to be cool.

PS: I have to go shopping with my wife tonight, so the update tomorrow morning may be a little late, and it is expected to be before noon. Well~~~Finally, I still ask for monthly tickets as usual~~~Monthly tickets are still quite important for new books.

Slipping away, I went out to act as a human hook.
