I am weak and friendly

Chapter 263 The Correct [Geta]

Tang Yiping stared intently at Stoka.

You really didn't do anything?

If you really didn't do anything, how did my code end up like this?
Tang Yiping turned to look at his screen.

Although ROBO-FU is his latest open-source project, Tang Yiping's coding skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and his inspiration is endless. Moreover, ROBO-FU itself originated from the small robot simulation factory that Tang Yiping wrote when he was trying to score points in a live stream. It was characterized by its meticulous detail and large amount of code. Tang Yiping has continued in this style ever since, so its code volume is the largest among all of Tang Yiping's open-source projects to date, except for "Diting".

As for "Di Ting," that was the work of Stoka, and it's still orders of magnitude smaller than the current ROBO-FU; it's simply incomparable.

Moreover, at the very beginning of this project, Tang Yiping had already mastered the stable and absolutely correct way of writing code to eliminate bugs using the [Stacking Bug]. This way of writing code itself allowed Tang Yiping to master all the code, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how it could produce such a magical effect.

This isn't right.

If he were to introduce the [Stacking Worm] into it, it might create a new mechanism—although Tang Yiping felt that the mechanism of the [Stacking Worm] probably wouldn't be that magical.

Before this, Tang Yiping could only achieve this kind of miraculous thing through his special code.

However, the amount of that special code in this case is 0.

Not a single drop.

That is how the matter?

Tang Yiping was completely baffled. After thinking about it for a long time without figuring it out, he simply gave up and continued writing code.

ROBO-FU is just so much fun to write.

He still has so many features he wants to add.

When I was writing other programs, I felt like I was being squeezed dry, and I couldn't write anything no matter how hard I tried.

But writing ROBO-FU, especially after adding the map function, felt like something was trying to spill out on its own.

This was clearly the first time Tang Yiping had actually written a "map"-related program himself.

But for some reason, he was particularly good at things involving maps.

Of course, this was not his first time working on a "map"-related project.

Before this, he had written a route calculation module for a logistics management system, which was also related to maps. However, the actual map-related content was not written by him, but by Gao Yuxiang.

After OIFU was released, Gao Yuxiang submitted map code to him. He sent it back to Gao Yuxiang seven times, and of course, he also read it from beginning to end seven or eight times, understanding every line of Gao Yuxiang's code.

But this doesn't explain how well he used it.

He discovered that his understanding of maps seemed to have an instinctive intuition.

He was able to extract much more from a map he was simply using.

He saw a map, but he saw many things beyond the possibilities on it.

Even though he was using street scenes from many years ago, he could almost intuitively correct certain deviations.

He incorporated all of these into his program.

Then, when you get to the part that needs to be written, you look back and wow, everything that needs to be defined has been defined, and everything that needs to be reserved has been reserved. It's like a hidden thread running through the grass, foreshadowing a thousand miles ahead.

Therefore, his map-related code was written so well that even Wang, a technical director specializing in the field, was amazed and impressed, and studied it line by line.

At first, he didn't realize the reason. Only after writing a lot of code did he suddenly realize that perhaps...

His sensitivity and insight into maps, as well as that feeling of complete control, stemmed from [The Heart of the Stopped City].

Besides his familiarity with maps, his coding skills were also incredibly good.

Because of the [Stacking Worm], he now has an almost intuitive feeling about the "correctness" of the code he writes.

Yes, he might not know how, he might not be able to write it, he might get stuck.

However... once it's written, there will be almost no mistakes or bugs. Before the [Stacking Worms] could even move in, he had already eliminated any potential problems.

This state is so enjoyable that he's been incredibly energetic lately, and even amidst all the noise and distractions surrounding OIFU, he remains immersed in the world of code.

Because it was so awesome!

That feeling of cutting butter with a knife, flowing out in a torrent.

Moreover, he has a sense of urgency.

There are many people waiting to submit their PR applications; if I don't hurry up and write mine...

Someone else stole this code!
Write it down! Write it down!
Write faster!

Don't give them a chance to submit code!

Having completed another new feature, Tang Yiping compiled and released a new version, then glanced at everyone's PRs.

"Hahahaha, I wrote this feature, I wrote this feature too, you're too late, aren't you? You're all later than me, hahahahaha..."

He sent all the PRs back, stretched, and his shoulders and back made a series of "slap slap slap" sounds.

Shen Hong had been standing next to him with a glass of water for a while. Seeing that he had finished, he handed it to him and said, "You've been writing for so long, take a break and have a glass of water."

"Thank you." Tang Yiping was still lost in his own thoughts. He mechanically took the water, took a sip, and then suddenly stopped.

and many more……

My current state, the special cases in the code I wrote, all of this...

This inexplicable sense of familiarity...

Could it be?

When you encounter a strange situation that you can't explain, there is only one explanation.

Tang Yiping took a deep breath and then said to his computer screen:

"Hello?"

Shen Hong stood next to Tang Yiping for a few seconds and looked at his screen for a while.

Shen Hong certainly didn't understand code, but for some reason, whenever he came to the 41st floor and found Tang Yiping coding, he felt a strange sense of "peace of mind".

The feeling of watching the code flowing on Tang Yiping's screen was different from that of the other young men in the technology department.

He asked the guys in the tech department what Tang Yiping's code was like.

The young men all wore expressions that were hard to describe, as if they couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

"We can't really say whether Tang's code is good or bad, but it's the kind of code we couldn't write. If we really had to describe it, his code is very 'Tang's'..."

What does it mean to be very "Tang Tongxue"?
Shen Hong could actually sense it too, but he couldn't put it into words.

It's the kind of feeling that you can tell from a distance, just by looking at the overall shape of the code, that it's different from others.

Neatness, orderliness, and rhythm create a sense of architectural beauty.

He was also eager to know the secret to Tang Yiping's coding skills. Now he understood.

He stood a few steps behind Tang Yiping, watching Tang Yiping speak sweet nothings to his screen.

"Come out, little one, love you!"

"You're the best, you're my best little darling!"

"Who is the best little darling? Who is the most well-behaved? Who is my good baby?"

In that instant, he felt that Tang Yiping was shining brightly.

The entire lobby on the 41st floor was brightly lit, with almost no dark corners.

But at this moment, he felt that all the lights on the entire 41st floor combined were not as bright as Tang Yiping's alone.

He had heard from Gao Ming that this boy was destined to shine.

But this was the first time he had ever seen it.

It turns out that people really do have a glow!
Looking at Tang Yiping, who was enveloped in a radiant glow that made it impossible to look away, Shen Hong was deeply moved.

This is love! This is love!

Tang Yiping writes such good code because he has a deep love for it!

How could someone who speaks sweet words to their own code not write good code?
Having grasped this point, Shen Hong wandered around among the young men in the technical department.

Seeing them with furrowed brows, conflicted expressions, or scratching their heads, their faces showing no sign of relaxation, I immediately sensed the difference.

"You guys need to love your code a little more! How can you write good code if you don't love it?!" Shen Hong said with great distress.

He didn't understand the power of love before, but now he does!
Then he looked in Tang Yiping's direction.

Tang Yiping continued to speak with deep emotion, his radiance casting a soft glow over the entire 41st floor.

Many people stopped what they were doing and looked in his direction.

Before Tang Yiping's eyes, the system kept prompting:
—[Signature] Successful, [Beacon of Friendship] activated.

—[Signature] Successful, [Beacon of Friendship] activated.

—[Signature] Successful, [Beacon of Friendship] activated.

Tang Yiping confirmed two points.

First, there really is something in my own code.

Secondly, he is a very difficult and hard-to-please guy.

Just when he had run out of cheesy sweet nothings to say, and the tangled creature was so jealous it was practically bruising his ankles, a notification finally popped up:
—Your continuous overtures have accumulated enough goodwill that the "weak" [Geta] has sensed your sincerity and has manifested itself in your [beacon of goodwill]. The goodwill you have bestowed upon [Geta] is so abundant that [Geta] wishes to form an alliance with you and is willing to accept your enslavement.

—【Gestalt】: "Simple! Correct! More!" Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and qualitative change leads to transformation. 【Gestalt】originates from chaos yet yearns for structure. It likes to parasitize information pipelines with simple, clear, repeatable rules that are constantly stacked. Using "structured redundancy" and "potential complexity" as its energy, it generates unexpected self-coupling, self-organization, and self-coordination, ultimately giving rise to a chaotic and unpredictable Gestalt order that surpasses the sum of its constituent parts. If correctness can be infinitely stacked, will truth eventually emerge? Try it and you'll find out.

—Note that [Geta] hates [Stack Worms] very much. Please do not let them appear in the same sequence, or you will witness a battle for survival of the weak!
When the information notification appeared, Tang Yiping saw a series of strange individuals.

They are like small wooden sticks, supporting each other to form a structure similar to a "building," fitting perfectly with their own code and complementing each other.

"Uh……"

Tang Yiping was shocked.

Is this Geta?
Gestalt?
Gestalt?

Before [Geta] revealed its form, Tang Yiping already had many guesses and ideas.

However, when [Geta] actually appeared, Tang Yiping was still stunned by the diversity of the [weak].

This thing is practically the opposite of the [Stacking Insect]!
【Stacking Worm】is a parasite that infests any bug (erroneous information pipeline) it encounters, and then, through some mystical effects, connects these erroneous information pipelines to produce the correct effect.

They particularly love bugs, much like repairmen of information pipelines.

In contrast, [Geta] only likes the right things.

According to the interpretation of [Geta], this thing comes from "the continuous stacking of correctness", "structured redundancy" and "potential complexity".

It is based on "correctness" and "complexity," and if something is "correct," it will give it more power.

The correct approach is to continuously stack elements. However, if there are too many stacks, they will generate additional coupling, self-organization, and self-coordination, resulting in effects that far exceed the original design.

This made Tang Yiping think of an ant colony. Every single ant, including the queen, is just a stupid insect.

However, an ant colony can be considered to possess intelligence.

This is socialized wisdom.

Based on this, humans discovered the "emergence effect" and the "ant colony algorithm," and also invented the amazing algorithm "cellular automata."

In a sense, Tang Yiping's little radishes are also a kind of "cellular automata".

These are phenomena that arise from the infinite stacking of the simplest and most basic units, producing a level of complexity and intelligence that surpasses the original system.

Alternatively, the most popular AI today is simply a stacking of basic units, parameters, and weights. As long as the number of these seemingly meaningless things reaches a certain level, it can produce a similar "intelligent" effect.

A phenomenon that is easier to understand is life itself.

Life is simply made up of countless molecules stacked together.

From the earliest proteins to the simplest life forms, and now to life forms with infinite complexity.

And this thing called "Geta"...

Is it because correct answers are constantly being accumulated that some kind of mechanism that one doesn't understand is created?

That's why it produces the kind of effect mentioned on the forum, which is almost like "predicting the future," "mind reading," and "targeting the goal."

This effect is even better than the FORK I wrote before, or at least the effect is about the same.

If this level of complexity can achieve this effect, what would happen if there were more code, more code, and even more code?
Seemingly sensing Tang Yiping's gaze and fighting spirit, these stick-like creatures cheered, "More! More! I want more!"

Do you want more?

Then I'll give you even more!
Tang Yiping put his hands on the keyboard, and then a storm of typing began.

While Tang Yiping was frantically typing away at his code, another group of people on the L-site forum went crazy.

"No, I clearly submitted a PR application, so why was it rejected?"

"They say the feature already exists? Who wrote it? This feature clearly doesn't exist!"

"Damn, is Tang crazy? How did he write so much code all by himself?"

"I refuse to believe I can't submit the code this time!"

Tang Yiping never imagined that his simple intention to write more code for [Geta] would ignite a competition between one person and countless contributors...
