我一直看好哥哥嫂嫂为之奋斗的食安快检大工程，觉得那是一个美好的大工程，有巨大的市场和未来发展的潜力。
我一直想用类似比较的方式说出我所感受到的食安快检大工程的美好和潜力。
我尝试着把食安快检大工程与硅谷发展成功的大公司做类似比较，特别是我亲身经历其成长壮大的eBay（2000 － 2009）。可是我觉得食安快检大工程比eBay更大，比eBay更有潜力。我一直苦于找不到切入点来表述我所感觉到的食安快检大工程的美好和潜力。
2020年末，我和女儿一起自驾游唤起了25年前的AWIPS的记忆。
“AWIPS（The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System）是一个非常复杂的网络硬件软件一体系的超大系统，它及时接收气象，水文，卫星和雷达的实况数据，并且快速准确地根据系统的气象水文学的智能处理大数据，随即将处理后的智能大数据分发给全国135个天气预报办公室（WFO）和河流预报中心（RFC）。 天气预报员利用AWIPS的功能来做出更准确的天气，水和气候预测，并分发快速，高度可靠的警告和建议。AWIPS是美国国家气象局（NWS）运营的基石，于1998年完成安装。”（基于wikipedia上的修改文字）
我突然觉得食安快检大工程类似于AWIPS，是一个技术性很强，数据来源广泛，覆盖面很广，百姓直接受益的民生大工程。
AWIPS，做为美国国家气象局（NWS）运营的基石， 从1998年一路更新发展到今天成为美国不可取代的国家大工程系统。
哥哥嫂嫂为之奋斗的食安快检大工程也应该国家呵护的大工程！
我关注着Musk对AI的看法. 上周刚看到一个采访马斯克（Elon Musk）的报道，其中马斯克将AI与食物并提时指出政府监督的重要性和设立监管机构用于监督对民生有威胁之事物的必要性，会让大家更明白食物安全的重要性。
我似乎找到了切入点：用AWIPS（一个成功的国家大工程）和马斯克将AI与食物并提的思想，来表述食安快检大工程的美好和潜力。

1. AWIPS：
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Weather_Interactive_Processing_System
The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) is a technologically advanced processing, display, and telecommunications system that is the cornerstone of the United States National Weather Service’s (NWS) operations.[1]
AWIPS is a complex network of systems that ingests and integrates meteorological, hydrological, satellite, and radar data, and also processes and distributes the data to 135 Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) and River Forecast Centers (RFCs) nationwide. Weather forecasters utilize the capabilities of AWIPS to make increasingly accurate weather, water, and climate predictions, and to dispense rapid, highly reliable warnings and advisories.
History
AWIPS replaced the Automation of Field Operations and Services (AFOS) system which had become obsolete and was very difficult to maintain. AWIPS was originally developed and maintained by PRC, Inc (later acquired by Northrop Grumman Information Technology) with installation completed in 1998.
Since 2005, Raytheon has been NWS’ partner for the operations, maintenance and evolution of AWIPS, providing the integrated mission services required to sustain and enhance system performance. It is a five-year contract with five one-year award terms for a potential maximum 10-year contract.[3]
Teaming with Raytheon are Keane Federal Systems, Globecomm Systems Inc., GTSI Corp., ENSCO, Reston Consulting Group, Fairfield Technologies, and Earth Resources Technology.[citation needed] Together they provide software operations and maintenance, software development, hardware maintenance and logistics, commercial off-the-shelf software maintenance, satellite communications, and network monitoring and control.
2. 马斯克（Elon Musk）将AI与食物并提时，指出政府监督的重要性，设立监管机构用于监督对民生有威胁之事物的必要性：

Döpfner: Then it is very much a question of AI governance. Is it in the hands of very few superpowerful players? And potentially one day in bad hands? Or is it in many hands? And is there lively competition? Is that the thing you’re worried about?
Musk: It’s important to have some kind of government oversight. And generally, we agree that there should be a regulatory authority, whenever there’s something that is a risk to the public. There are the regulatory agencies for cars, or aircraft, or food, drugs, that kind of thing. And we all think, nobody wants to abolish the FAA — we want them to oversee the aircraft. We want someone checking and confirming the aircraft is safe, and that kind of thing. Same for cars. For food and pharmaceuticals. So, it seems that we should also have regulatory agencies with some kind of public oversight ensuring that the public good is being pursued with artificial intelligence.
