​财迷‖“飞天保温瓶”或开启新工业革命
I want you to focus on the bold part:我希望您专注于大胆(构想)的部分:It says - if you use computers and beamazing software engineers, you can be orders of magnitude better. This is a asuperb observation, a great derivation and conclusion, and well put in words.Steve continued to play on this all his life and the result is Apple computers.大胆(构想)的部分主题如下-如果您使用计算机并成为出色的软件工程师 , 则可以提高几个数量级 。 这是一个了不起的观察 , 是一个很好的推论和结论 , 而且措辞很好 。 史蒂夫一生都在继续这个游戏 , 其结出的果实就是苹果帝国 。Now lets look at how Elon Musk says about the same thing the physics way, and ‘surprise surprise’, it would need you to put some fundamental thought, but as soon as you get it, you would seehow he rips apart the above saying.现在 , 让我们看一下埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)如何用物理学的方式讲同样的事情 , 并且“惊奇” , 这需要您提出一些基本的想法 , 但是一旦您理解了 , 您就会发现他是如何撕开上述说法的 。Elon Musk:伊隆·马斯克说:“Movement of molecules isexpensive, but that of electrons is cheap. If one can optimize the movement of molecules by movement of electrons, they can be orders of magnitude better.”“分子运动很昂贵 , 而电子运动很便宜 。 如果一个人可以通过电子的运动来优化分子的运动 , 那么它们可以好几个数量级 。 ”​财迷‖“飞天保温瓶”或开启新工业革命
What does this mean?这是什么意思?If you put computational power tooptimize the movement of molecules, you can gain orders of magnitude on doing anything. Lets put this in perspective. If I compare myself with Usain Bolt, hecan run twice as fast as I can. For that matter, any human on planet Earth trying to achieve anything that is physical, with structures, movement of goods, and so on can at best be twice as fast compared to an average. Let’s say you are a pizza delivery guy and your buddy is twice as fast. He will deliver 2X pizza per unit time. That’s it! But if you are a computer programmer, andyou can optimize the movement of molecules by computation, you can bring ordersof magnitude gains.如果您将计算能力用于优化分子的运动 , 则可以在执行任何操作时获得数量级的提升 。 让我们从这个角度来看问题 。 如果我将自己与Usain Bolt进行比较 , 他的运行速度将是我的两倍 。 因此 , 地球上任何试图实现物理 , 结构 , 货物移动等目的的人最多只能比普通人快两倍 。 假设您是一位披萨送货员 , 而您的好友的速度快了一倍 。 他将在单位时间内交付2倍的比萨饼 。 而已!但是 , 如果您是计算机程序员 , 并且可以通过计算优化分子的运动 , 则可以带来数量级的收益 。How did Elon Musk apply it?Elon Musk如何应用它?NASA used to send rockets to space station, and they used to lose the whole engine. That is a lot of “loss of molecules”, not just movement of molecules. Elon Musk built rockets that can berecovered, and the way this was achieved was by control systems that wererunning on high efficiency computers that were so sophisticated that they canland the rocket on earth. That is a lot of expensive molecules recovered. Thereis just absolutely no way NASA can compete with the cost that SpaceX has to incur with the same project.美国宇航局过去曾向太空站发送火箭 , 但他们过去却损失了整个引擎 。 那是很多“分子的损失” , 而不仅仅是分子的运动 。 伊隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)制造了可以回收的火箭 , 而实现这一目标的方法是在高效率计算机上运行的控制系统 , 该计算机非常精密 , 可以将火箭降落到地球上 。 那就是回收了许多昂贵的分子 。 NASA绝对不可能与SpaceX在同一项目中产生的成本竞争 。Same way, he applied it to electriccars. Electric cars bring the car world closer to Carnot engine, and because the motors run on electricity, and that can be somewhat restored when one wantsto break the car. So by definition, by using movement of electrons he made electric cars twice as efficient.同样 , 他将其应用于电动汽车 。 电动汽车使汽车世界更接近卡诺(Carnot)发动机 , 并且由于电动机依靠电力运行 , 当人们想打破汽车时 , 这可以得到一定程度的恢复 。 因此 , 按照定义 , 通过利用电子运动 , 他使电动汽车的效率提高了两倍 。Lets see how someone else applied theconcepts and how I can put them in Elon Musk’s framework.让我们看看其他人如何应用这些概念 , 以及如何将它们放入ElonMusk的框架中 。Consider UBER: It optimizes movement ofmolecules by movement of electrons. If you live in suburbs, and you want to goto downtown by a taxi, a taxi need not come from downtown to your place.Instead an UBER can come to you from the closest location. That is a huge improvement in movement of molecules by movement of electrons.考虑UBER:它通过电子的运动来优化分子的运动 。 如果您住在郊区 , 并且想乘出租车去市中心 , 则出租车不必从市中心到您的地方 。 相反 , 您可以从最近的地方来找UBER 。 这是通过电子运动使分子运动的巨大改进 。Consider Amazon: It sends goods to your home without you having to go to a shopping mall. Amazon optimizes this bycoming up with shortest path algorithms, and all the logistics in the background so that you do not have to move at all. This is heavy optimizationo n movement of molecules by movement of electrons.考虑一下亚马逊:它无需您去购物中心就可以将商品发送到您的家中 。 亚马逊通过提供最短路径算法和所有后台物流来优化这一点 , 因此您根本不必移动 。 这是通过电子运动对分子运动进行的最优化 。Consider Google: It earns money fromAds, but it heavily reduces movement of molecules and moves only electrons. Youd on’t have to go to library to find answers. You can find the most optimum pathto go anywhere. You can do plenty of things that are optimized because of google that simply reduce your work by getting you best answers possible.考虑一下Google:它从Ads赚钱 , 但它大大减少了分子的运动 , 只运动了电子 。 您无需去图书馆寻找答案 。 您可以找到前往任何地方的最佳路径 。 您可以做很多由于Google而优化的事情 , 它们可以通过尽可能地获得最佳答案来简化您的工作 。The world that we live in has a lot of molecular movement that is heavily energy consuming.我们生活的世界有很多分子运动 , 这非常耗能 。If you can reduce that by movement of electrons, you are in business!如果您可以通过电子的运动来减少这种情况 , 那您等于你可以做生意赚钱了!
