361 Generation Gap
John Toyfer's prediction was very accurate, so accurate that Mika Slampa even doubted whether someone from the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Rhein State had been angry with his partner. Because early the next morning, he saw on Facebook that the Nobel Foundation President Lars Hekensten came out to refute the rumors.
Although the Nobel Foundation is not responsible for award evaluation, the Nobel Prize bonus depends on the foundation. As we all know, generally speaking, any bigwig in charge of money is more tough.
The video took five minutes, but after the translation, it probably said two things. First, Niels Coulston's statement was very irresponsible yesterday. The Nobel Prize is known for its fairness and will not change its position on the selection because of the establishment of any award or the acceptance of any award;
Second, he has suggested to the Royal Academy of Sciences, which is responsible for the evaluation of the Prize in Physics and Chemistry, that unless Niels Coulston is removed from the jury to resolve the dispute, the Nobel Prize in Physics may be gone next year...
This is really serious and has a serious attitude.
But if you understand the history of the Nobel Prize, you will know that it is not the first time that the chairman of the foundation made a speech that the Nobel Prize may be suspended. As early as 2018 and 2019, some scandals directly led to the speech of the Nobel Prize in speech, and the Nobel Prize in Literature may be suspended. However, at the last moment, these problems were solved. In 2019, the winners of the 2018 and 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature were directly announced.
Anyway, this matter was handled very well.
After all, the chairman of the Nobel Foundation is obviously more famous than the members of a certain award committee. Moreover, it is not a big deal to suffer from the private morality of an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Ruiguo. This kind of treatment is reasonable and well-founded.
As for the impact it has in the academic world, it is a matter of opinion. As the Nobel Prize, as the world's most well-known award, what did the judges think, and whether this speech will have an impact on the judges of other well-known awards in judging the awards are unknown. After all, the academic circle is actually very small, and the connection between those academic masters may be much closer than what ordinary people think, especially when physics and mathematics are actually closely connected.
There is no doubt that this incident also caused a stir in China.
So a very counterintuitive scene appeared.
On the day the March Prize was announced, when the domestic media reported the truth, there was no trouble. Basically, few ordinary people were concerned about the March Prize. After this incident at the Nobel dinner, Chinese netizens suddenly paid special attention to the March Prize, and the number of visits to the official website that announced the March Prize began to rise exponentially...
Fortunately, the official website of March Intelligent Development Journal is on Huawei Cloud. There is March Little Cute to perform some daily maintenance. It is not scary to see the surge in traffic. The backup machine will be automatically called under elastic calculation and high load to achieve dynamic expansion. Therefore, even if there are 50 million visits that night, it does not have much impact on the website. It is nothing more than an occasional delay of a few seconds. Just refresh it and the web page can be fully displayed.
Of course, this popularity is completely unplanned.
For the March Awards review team, it even felt inexplicable.
Of course, if you have to say the reason for this matter, you can probably blame Ning Wei said at the press conference that announced the existence of March to the world, "The March Prize will be a benchmark for the Nobel Prize in the future."
If a problem occurs, the first thing is naturally to solve the problem.
For the staff, the most important issue is probably to appease the winners of this award, call the winners again by email and phone number, and determine whether these winners still choose to accept the March awards, and whether they will attend the March award ceremony as planned.
Inexplicably, the workload increased.
...
"…If a hidden variable is called a local deterministic hidden variable, then any output of Alie and wave b should be divided by formula △Y in this case, and a component should be divided into α, then α..."
In the office, Ning Wei is studying some problems with three-dimensional entangled states. Of course, studying these problems is not aimless.
This is closely related to the three-dimensional silicon-on-body CPU chip design.
Simply put, a chip needs to be made into a finished product. Making an instruction set is only the first step. Under the instruction set framework, there are some considerations about how each transistor is arranged. If a line is wrong, the entire chip function will be seriously affected, not to mention that the wiring layout in the design directly affects the chip power consumption, area, delay and other specific technical indicators.
Three-dimensional silicon-to-tube chips naturally have to face the same problem.
Before, the RF chip was able to achieve results in a very fast time because the RF chip was relatively simple. But the CPU was different, and there were too many problems to consider. Therefore, many various problems arose in Ningsi Laboratory every day, and Ning Wei chose some time every day to try to think and solve these problems theoretically.
This is a very interesting cycle, from application to theory to application. Most people really can't play with this thinking pattern, but for Ning Wei, he only feels happy.
Because the process of solving problems can often be related to the physics that he is most interested in now.
Of course, this does not mean that chip design needs to be applied to physics. In fact, the simplest chip design is enough to understand Boolean algebra.
When these chips are stacked together and run, physical issues must be considered. For example, circuit delay caused by the increase in temperature during the chip is a very typical physical problem.
Temperature will affect the mobility and threshold voltage of semiconductor devices. Increased temperature will cause the circuit delay to increase. If the delay is too high, some circuits will not be able to meet the timing requirements, output the wrong results, and then lead to circuit function errors.
For computer enthusiasts, it is necessary to increase the cooling when overclocking the CPU, otherwise the computer will not be turned on or crashed. This is the reason.
How to reduce power consumption through design, or to generate heat the most scientifically when the chip is running, are the difficulties in chip design.
Especially unlike flat chip designs, minimalist EDA has not accumulated or capable yet, and directly stores enough various circuit diagrams that have been designed in the library, so everything needs to start over, and there will naturally be many problems, which is normal.
At first, Ning Wei didn't want to get involved, after all, it's three months.
But when many problems were reported to his email address in March, especially some problems that require coordinated computing and are very complicated. After Ning Wei saw this, he still fell ill...
The awesomeness you brag about is always better to make more contributions.
So it is natural that Ning Wei had to take some time every day to study the specific work of chip design. Fortunately, in this direction, it is no exaggeration to say that Ning Wei still feels very talented.
Especially for solving some complex problems, he can always come up with the most direct solution ideas and often get better results after being handed over to March for verification. This even makes Ning Wei wonder if his brain really has anything in common with the CPU.
If you pay more attention to technical details, you will naturally pay less attention to what is happening outside.
Of course, I would rather know about everything that happened at the Nobel dinner.
After all, it is hot news, especially for China. It is hard to not pay attention to it even in March.
To be honest, the words of Niels Coulston did not cause any psychological fluctuations in Ning Wei. Just as Mika Slampa just saw this declaration, Ning Wei also doubted whether the academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Rui Kingdom had a headache.
How could such a thing be said in front of a reporter if it obviously would have a blow to the credibility of an award?
For a moment, Ning Wei thought that this Academician Coulston was a bribed undercover agent by the March Prize Committee. The words he said at the Nobel dinner were to sound the horn for the international awards in March.
Ning Wei didn’t think about this issue deeply, and just felt it was boring, so he stopped paying attention.
At the beginning, he put aside many things, rather than doing everything himself, to get the best interests, hoping not to think about these intrigues.
Mathematics is very interesting, physics is also very interesting, thinking jumps in various dimensions. For pure science students, solving problems through complex spatial configurations is much more interesting than thinking about what a group of people are thinking about and thinking about human nature.
Even if you have to think about human nature, the social configuration under group consciousness is more logical than speculating on the unpredictability of monotonous consciousness. Simply put, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, but many strange birds will only appear when the sample is complex enough.
In the Internet age, you can see all kinds of weird news on the news every day, which is enough to make people say that reality can be more bizarre than novels, and even exclaim that the screenwriters of a magical drama dare not write scripts like this.
But in fact, strange stories and various coincidences in novels and dramas are very common, but there will definitely be strange stories and various coincidences in reality, but from the perspective of probability, the probability of occurrence is actually negligible.
It seems that in 2025, humans have landed on the moon many times, and there are only three years left before Musk immigrated to Mars. However, millions of people in the Western Hemisphere still firmly believe in Diping's theory and are working hard to prove this, and even established the Diping's theory association.
This number looks huge, but compared with the total population in the Western Hemisphere, there is really not a large number of millions, and there is only a strange thing hidden among thousands, so it is naturally not representative.
It’s like there are many minors in the world who skipped school every day, but in the end, they just got the title of environmentally friendly little princess because they didn’t want to go to school. There was only one person in the world. Most people skipped school, which was skipped school.
Of course, the little princess has been silent and is probably still fighting hard with high school knowledge, but Ning Wei doesn't care about these things because there are too many interesting things immersed in the academic world.
Even chip design, which sounds extremely complex and serious, is actually the same. Especially chip design is a technology with extremely high synergy requirements. For those who are looking at the overall situation, even if each department gives the correct results, when combining it, you can often find many interesting problems that can lead to systemic disasters.
It’s just like Ning Wei hopes that the three-dimensional silicon-tube CPU can even integrate AI graph recognition function, which requires that the CPU, DDR, bus, AI processor, and PI in the chip can work perfectly.
Then when the PI collects the image, stores it in DDR, the AI processor is used for recognition, and then the CPU performs verification and calculation, a complete set of processes needs to test the PI rate and capability, the DMA rate and capability, whether the bus matches, DDR rate, AI processor recognition rate and matching, CPU interaction efficiency, etc.
Even if the function that each department is responsible for can achieve perfection during verification, when combining all the perfect functions together, the chip starts to have a fever as soon as it runs. Whether to design from scratch or throw it to downstream manufacturers to pile and dissipate heat becomes a problem.
For Ning Wei, what he needs to do is to use global considerations and theoretically not only let each department provide its own perfect solutions, but also have predictive solutions to some coordinated guidance that will not cause too many problems when combining all functions.
A very challenging and mentally consuming job will cause serious problems once you are addicted to it. For example, when eating and drinking water, you will consider how the problem arises and how to solve it, so you will naturally not think deeply about other people’s ideas.
What's more, even if you have to think about people's ideas, it's better to look at the communication records (leg GUO) between various departments of the laboratory. Scientific and cultural people fighting for work can often show extremely powerful writing skills that far exceed document records. Those languages full of connotation are enough to make many literary doctors ashamed, and it can be said that they fully demonstrate the profoundness of Chinese writing.
Of course, those things are things that only happen in your spare time. Ning Wei is no longer surprised by this, and even learned a few things...
At this time, Ning Wei was outlining the amplified structure of the chip, trying to theoretically solve a signal reliability verification problem that occurs in the three-dimensional through-pipe.
He mutes the phone directly and throws it aside until the kitten jumps out of the monitor.
"Meow, my dear Ning is the master. The phone number from Senior Brother Lu has been connected for the third time in five minutes. According to your previous instructions, I will give you a special notice!"
This is what Ning Wei said to March before mutes the phone. If the same phone call in the address book is called three times within five minutes, or if there are more than ten phone calls in the address book within five minutes, you should take the initiative to remind him. This is also the rule he summarized. Generally, this happens that there are really important things to look for him.
As for the kind of phone call that no one answers and does not continue to make a call after making a call, it is not very important. You can go back and ask about the situation when you are free.
So when I received a prompt, Ning Wei first put down the work at hand and answered the phone call from Lu Dongyi.
"Hey, Brother Lu, have you gone out for a meeting? Do you have any instructions?"
"Well... Did you read the response of the Nobel Foundation President to the person at the dinner last night? The March Awards Preparation Group called me and said that you couldn't find someone. I asked if I should make some more caring promises to the winners this year, or give a certain response. I have never dealt with this situation, so I still want to call you and ask you..."
"I don't know about this yet. Let me know about it first. Send them a message and contact them after I understand it. You don't have to worry about it. Let's communicate well, after all, it's a meeting."
"Well, then I'll die."
After saying that, Lu Dongyi simply hung up the phone.
Ning Wei sighed, then looked at the kitten on the screen and asked, "You heard the phone call just now? What did the chairman of the foundation respond again?"
"Meow……"
After the kitten pulled his paws, a short video was automatically played on Ning Wei's computer.
"...Nils Coulston's speech is irresponsible for our consistent inclusive attitude, especially for a member of the jury. His statement violates the consistent purpose of the Nobel Prize and we attach great importance to it. In fact, I have called Mr. Nidham to ask him to face it. At the same time, although I have no doubt about Niels' academic level, his speech will undoubtedly make people stand in a fair way when judging the achievements of a scientist. Yes, I have suggested that the status of Nils be removed from the position of committee member, and Nils Coulston will no longer serve as a member of the physical committee next year..."
...
Human emotions may not be the same, but wisdom is ultimately the same.
Such instant rumors have been refuted, Ning Wei wanted to give a thumbs up to the entire Nobel system, but after reading the communication contents of friendly exchanges between various departments, he still figured out some different flavors.
"In March, is this response video popular?"
"Meow, very tall!"
“How tall is it?”
"Meow, probably as high as the Oriental Pearl, of course it is a little less popular than the Meows' March battle against the Number Dominant..."
Ning looked at the increasingly arrogant kitten on the screen, and found that since the cartoon starring March was officially launched, the kitten has become more and more humane. For example, it not only learned the rhetorical method of metaphor, but also its metaphor skills are getting farther and farther away from the rigorous machine thinking.
Of course, this may also be related to the fact that in order to adapt to increasingly heavy tasks, I have been increasing the computing power in March recently.
"Do you think it is necessary to respond to this kind of public opinion?"
"Meow... Meow people are not afraid of challenges, and always move forward bravely!"
Of course, Ning Wei remembers that this is the slogan that the kitten in the cartoon would shout every time he transforms. Although it is simple and a second-tier student, it is undeniable that with the explosive animation special effects, it is probably enough to tease the emotions of children who are only a single digit of age.
So is he treating him as a child?
