’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ is not a formula, theorem, or any other definite thing, but a ’method’ that has been summarized.
Method, merely points the way.
It’s like someone from the south wanting to go to the Daxinganling, not knowing how to get there, and the information they receive when asking directions--
Keep going north!
Heading north is theoretically correct, but finding the way to Daxinganling still requires constant route corrections, otherwise you may cross the grasslands and end up in Siberia.
The meaning is the same.
’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ is a method to eliminate harmful elements through comparison, but when it comes to specific situations, one still needs to think about the conditions step by step and complete the entire process.
Any method that can cover multiple fields is often quite vague in its explanation, because it is impossible to precisely express it.
Zhao Yi’s proof of ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ offers the world a brand-new method and direction for computer research. However, developing a Rubik’s cube calculator based on this method is still challenging.
From the publication of the ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ paper to speaking at Yanhua University, and until now, it’s been two months. The market has only seen ’imperfect Rubik’s Cube calculators’. The gap between these and a ’perfect Rubik’s Cube calculator’ is significant, even more so than creating an ’imperfect Rubik’s Cube calculator’ from scratch.
Any company investing in the development of Rubik’s cube algorithms independently would require a significant amount of manpower and time.
Compared to human resources, the cost of time would be greater.
The source code of Zhao Yi’s Rubik’s cube calculator is minimal, less than 10,000 lines when combined. A team researching this together might not necessarily find the accurate direction. Perhaps eight out of ten people could be wrong, and most of the work would be in vain.
Therefore, when comparing the required resources and time for development, a price of several hundred thousand dollars is not expensive.
Of course.
If a company can afford to wait, with just a few personnel conducting the research, eventually they could refine the algorithm over a year, two years, or maybe more.
When time cost is discounted, the cost of manpower isn’t that much. Perhaps they only need to pay a salary of a hundred thousand dollars.
Everything is uncertain.
For Zhao Yi, the bottom line for the source code of the Rubik’s cube calculator is six hundred thousand dollars.
If domestic companies wish to buy, it could be relatively cheaper. It doesn’t have anything to do with national pride. Domestic companies aren’t rushing to purchase a Rubik’s cube algorithm.
Apple Company is different.
Apple Company is about to release a new phone, a phone that will be a landmark for the era. For them, the cost of time is more important than the cost of manpower.
Six hundred thousand dollars is not expensive. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Zhao Yi can’t understand why Apple Company would have an ’if you love it then you’ll buy it’ attitude.
Why?
Two words: Confidence.
Apple Company has a lot of confidence in its research and development capabilities. Without the ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’, they had no confidence in developing a Rubik’s cube algorithm.
But now, they have it.
With a designated research direction in hand, their technical department believes they can develop it within a certain time after investing some manpower. After careful consideration, how complicated could a Rubik’s cube algorithm developed by a high school student be?
It must be simple!
Once they have a set direction, and have found the key points, they should be able to develop it.
In addition, Apple Company’s senior management lacks fondness for Zhao Yi.
The public assumes that Zhao Yi and Apple Company have a deep relationship because he has won a million-dollar award from them. The actual situation is the exact opposite. The majority of people in Apple Company’s technical department do not have a favorable impression of Zhao Yi.
Who would appreciate someone that constantly spots errors in their work?
Zhao Yi did more than just spotting errors, he continually found them.
During the Jiangzhou press conference, where Zhao Yi was awarded and advertised, he didn’t hesitate to break through the operating system of the Mac on the spot, exposing a vulnerability in the driver program, causing several teams in the technical department to lose their bonuses.
This kind of thing should be said privately...
Anyway, that’s how Apple Company’s management sees it, because their stock prices fell due to this incident.
Someone like him...
Unless he is willing to work for Apple Company, they’ll never have a favorable impression of him.
Do they expect us to pay for a Rubik’s cube algorithm?
We have the world’s top technology department which developed a closed smartphone operating system. We can just invest manpower to develop it ourselves, and we can do that in a short time.
...
Zhao Yi didn’t know about the situation at Apple Company. He just felt upset.
He suddenly didn’t want to sell it anymore.
Zhao Yi studied his robot, and decided to summarize the program design work for the recent period, then disassemble, sort, and encrypt the independently designed robot code.
The summaries included--
"Four-stereo Image Analysis Algorithm"
"Stereoscopic Image Analysis Pathfinding Simplification Algorithm"
"Sensor Data and Machine Vision Combined for Flexible Control of Components"

The last one is a class of smart dialogue. It designs keywords broadly to make robots understand what they need to do and invoke the relevant program to execute it.
