Sometimes when you’re trying to figure out the way the world works, basic math is enough to get you going.

有时,当您试图弄清楚世界是如何运作的时,基础数学足以帮助您前进。

If we increase the hot water flow by x , the temperature of the mixture goes up by y .

如果我们将热水流量增加 x ,混合物的温度就会上升 y 。

Sometimes you’re working on something that’s just too complicated for that, and you can’t even begin to guess how the inputs affect the outputs.

有时你正在做的事情对于它来说太复杂了,你甚至无法开始猜测输入如何影响输出。

At the warehouse, everything seems to go fine when you have less than four employees, but when you hit five employees, they get in each others’ way so much that the fifth employee effectively does no additional work.

在仓库,当你的员工少于四名时,一切似乎都很顺利,但当你有五名员工时,他们会互相妨碍,以至于第五名员工实际上不会做额外的工作。

You may not understand the relationship between the number of employees and the throughput of the warehouse, but you definitely know what everybody is doing.

你可能不明白员工数量和仓库吞吐量之间的关系,但你绝对知道每个人在做什么。

If you can imagine writing a little bit of JavaScript code to simulate the behavior of each of your workers, you can run a simulation and see what actually happens.

如果您可以想象编写一点 JavaScript 代码来模拟每个工作人员的行为,您就可以运行模拟并查看实际发生的情况。

You can tweak the parameters and the rules the employees follow to see how it would help, and you can really gain some traction understanding, and then solving, very complex problems.

您可以调整员工遵循的参数和规则,看看它有何帮助,并且您可以真正获得一些牵引力理解,然后解决非常复杂的问题。

That’s what hash.ai is all about.

这就是 hash.ai 的意义所在。
