Yesterday, I wrote about "lunch alone". But indeed, that is a kind of prologue, the serious story starts now.
-----
The other day, I heard from my senior daughter that the most fearful affair is "being alone" in her school life,
I heard that not only she but also all girls in her school
wander from place to place in their class for searching a group they could belong from April to June,
monitor and arrange the humans relationship of the group from July to September,
could get alone with others in the group from October,
and fear a new group for the next fiscal year from the New Year.
-----
When I asked her,
"What it that? Are you spending a precious period in youth for belonging a group?"
she answered seriously
"That is right in a sense."
I felt frightfulness for a change.
(To be continued, more.)
My daughters told me with watching a TV news about the persons who had gone to a dangerous area by themselves and been killed by terrorists.
"It is a typical "they have only themselves to blame". Because they know the dangers before"
This is a kind of fruit of my education to my daughters.
I often tell them,
"Run away with abandoning your friend who confronts perils"
"When watching fire disaster and an accident or hearing a sound of gun, run away toward the opposite direction without feeling strange original chivalrous spirit"
And, they have been taught to believe by me that,
There is the reality that damages of the result you believed justice, are hardly compensated.
A law says that it is difficult so as to be hopeless, to authorize the damage.
-----
"I think you are right. It is just what I have told you before.”
"But in this case, I want you to consider some background of this tragedy"
(To be continued)
The other day, I had a meeting with Mr.K, who is a chief editor and Ms.M who is charge of my column, at EE Times Japan office.
Before the meeting, I applied for the discussion about the quality of my columns, "Recently, I am afraid that my columns often missed the rank-in of numbers of Page Views(PVs), so I want to re-make a fundamental review of the theme and configuration"
Ms.M was waiting for me with some materials about the PVs of my columns, that she had made.
-----
Mr.K and Ms.M said that,
"The main reasons of decreasing of PVs are, changes of cooperations mechanism with other search engine provider"
"So, at the moment, we don't take care of a review of themes and configuration your columns."
I could finally take a sigh of relief, and I were able to start reading data in the material carefully.
The summaries were,
the PVs of "Net fraud" is overwhelmingly many.
I could have estimated this result beforehand, however, I think it is just fluke blessed with "unhappy" in good timing, so I didn't count it as a fruit.
What I was really surprised were,
"An engineers who never has been loved by English" series are still popular.
The PVs of "Oil depletion" and "Kyoto Protocol" are better than others
(To be continued)
(Continuation from yesterday)
I think that the situation is likely that someone says to me" I will give you a planet(not a nation), and you can reign over the planet", however, many freshpersons seem not to be interested in the governance.
Such administration work of server seems to be a "painful and pressed task" and to be avoided.
-----
I think that the reason this paradigm occurred is that I can go back to the time when server operation became possible by a personal computer(PC).
PCs at the time, was going to "down" or "out of control" absolutely, if I kept a power on PC over night.
And we can go back to the time when free "UNIX OS"(thought I know some kinds of people dislike the words) of FreeBSD and Windows NT, etc, appeared,
And the appearance of Linux ,GPL、high-speed and low-cost CPU, have accelerated the commodity of PC server.
For me, now I can use a web sever machine on which I also can execute my original code, at the cost of 500 yen a month,
Thus, the position of administrator of server machine was going down dynamically, to plain and unremarkable labors
-----
So, I sometimes think that many engineers who think
"Why do they pay two thousand hundred for the software? "sed", "awk" and several hours are enough for it"
but they never say so.
The reason why the engineers don't say that, is that the work might come to annoy them.
-----
I told a story that Shiitake mushroom which can be eaten easily at a low price at present, however it was a valuable item of the shogun's offering in the Edo period,
Because the mass production method of shiitake mushrooms was not established at the period.
In times when computer resources were not abundant, the administrator of the server machine that could control computer resources was the lion of the day.
However, at the present time that computer resources are almost free, the status of the administrator of the server machine may be lower than that of the manager of the apartment.
(Continuation from yesterday)
Are they seriously thinking about dream things such as "Do not give any instructions to artificial intelligence, take my intention and do your own work"?
Before talking about "artificial intelligence" , if such "PC (application)" appears, please inform me first.
-----
I intended to "refute" politely over time, "It will be an era when artificial intelligence does simple tasks", however,
"Yeah, that's enough. I am tired"
-----
I have a request from everyone.
Please tell me a concrete example of that 'simple task that artificial intelligence does.'
I do not need anything. Only one is fine.
Even if it does not exist at present, it does not matter.
I would like to summarize "artificial intelligence" that many people image, once.
-----
So, for me,
To reject all incoming mails with two phrases "simple task" and "artificial intelligence" in one phrase
In the meantime I would like keep doing it.
The era changes soon in our country.
To control the "time", including the era, has been always an exclusive matter of the authority.

People who chose chemistry in college entrance, might know that Oct means "8" (octopus is said to be Octopus, because there are 8 legs).
septagon is "seven sided", novena is "nine days", and decimal "decimal".
September, October, November, December are out of the original meaning two by two.
This is for Emperor Augustus of Rome minded that his birth month was not day 31 but 30 days, and Emperor Julius said that he wanted to use his name (July) for his birth month (July)
"Reason for not deserving"
was the true.
So they continue to put a lot of trouble on all humanity afterwards.
-----
As the opposite pattern, there is a story about Jesus Christ's birth year.
They had decided the first Christian year to be the birth year of Jesus Christ, however, later survey showed that birth of Jesus was earlier. Currently, the birth of Christ is 4 years BC.
How to say, I think that it is the biggest failure in the history of mankind.
Unlike Augustus or Julius, the determination of the birth year of Christ is fairly mathematical (although its base number is not mathematical).
Although I will omit details, the first year of the Christian era calculates the convenient year back from the estimated age of the day of Jesus' resurrection and the movement period of Easter.
"That is, it is not much different from the method of my simulation."
Well, Jesus himself, was not power itself, but a concept for tool of power (by religious groups),so it may not have been necessary to think too strictly.
-----
Above all, the contents of the Bible were decided at meetings consisting of representatives of each denomination.
The Bible was reviewed, edited, proofreaded and promulgated at the Council of Nicene held 300 years after the death of Jesus.
As for me, the Bible is closer to the "Minutes of Government-sponsored Expert Committee" or "Cabinet decision" that is considerably more undemocratic through legislative process.
- At least, that (the Bible) is not "the word of God"
I think that.
(To be continued)
To tell you the truth, I don't know the reason of following arguments.
For not only the prevention of COVID-19 infection but also influenza, the following article are often heard.
(1)Face masks are effective to prevent expanding from infection, when we are carriers(infected patient).
However,
(2)Face masks are ineffective to prevent infection from other carriers, when we are non-carriers.
I have often read the articles.
I really don't know
"How this unsymmetrical logic can be established ? "
----
According to COVID-19 at this time, it is clear that "rich contacts" is related to the possibilities of the infection.
This means that the infections are depending on the mount of virus from the carriers.
So I think that the infections are confirmed by many virus from carriers
and few virus is going to be destroyed by immune system of our body.
So I think that the face masks are quite competent to prevent infection.
-----
I read that "virus adhere to face masks infect us" before.
I can agree with the story, however, this argrument should be applicable for clothes and every things around us.
It is a typical misleading to confuse the story with "Face masks are ineffective to prevent infection from other carriers".
-----
Now I am masking instinctively.
If possible, I want to decide whether I should mask or not logically
So I except to hear presentations by experts of thie field.
By the way, you don't explain about the story of "size" about virus, bacteria and spray of spit, except for the relationship with unsymmetrical viewpoints.
Junior daughter:iPhone and other iOS users
Senior daughter:Android user who bought ChromoBook at her own expense
Wife:who buys the exact same model as her daughters and throws in the whole setup.
Ebata:All-rounder who is not in a position to express a preference for the platform due to his duties.
-----
Thus, when it comes to IT platforms, the Ebata family has become a microcosm of the world.
With regard to the recent Russian military invasion of Ukraine (we use "invasion" here, in keeping with the various media outlets), there is an opinion that
"A war that cannot possibly be won. Ukraine should surrender as soon as possible, as it will only result in domestic casualties"
Japan has had similar situations.
During the Pacific War, our Supreme War Leadership Council was unable to make this decision (unconditional surrender).
As a result, many non-combatants (civilians) were killed and our country was used to demonstrate the atomic bomb.
When considered in this light, such a "surrender superiority theory" has a certain persuasiveness.
-----
However, on the other hand,
If I consider the scenario of the previous annexation of the Kurmian peninsula (instead of the current invasion of Ukraine) as a use case with our country,
- "The Russians living in Japan in Hokkaido want to annex Hokkaido to Russia.
- The Russian president declares, "Hokkaido will be annexed to Russia.
- Unilateral military invasion of Hokkaido
- They effectively occupy our territory north of Hokkaido.
, and when we were told the following
"It's a war that can never be won. Japan should cede Hokkaido to Russia because it will only result in domestic casualties."
Will we be convinced ?
-----
I'm not a patriot in the absolute sense of the word, but I thought,
"I can fight for my life."
For me, though I don't need "patriotism" to fight, I can fight with "rage against unreason".
-----
The above use case is just something I came up with and probably not very good.
Can someone please explain well with a "use case using our country" like this?
I think there are a lot of people who are thinking about that.
The world seems to be in a state of flux these days regarding crypto assets, including bitcoin.
I mean, the evaluation of crypto assets always seem to be in a flux.
I have already said as much as I know about Bitcoin, so I have nothing more to add at this time.

But I'm thinking, 'Maybe we can do a Great Reset of crypto assets once.
-----
What I would like to see realized is "small change" on the internet that can be easily used in daily life, not for investment purposes is ,
""Kanda River," "boarding house," "three tatami mats and one room" kind of petty-bourgeois bitcoin"
The phrase "silence is golden" and the phrase "those who do not speak up at meetings should leave" are both "true.
If you speak up, they make you do it.
People not disadvantaged by speaking out are essentially 'people who don't work/need to work in the field.
Or rather,
"Anyone who says flatly, "Those who don't speak up at meetings should walk away" without understanding those who want to sleep as much as possible due to hard work is, in short, an "idiot."
-----
I can think of several ways to solve the problem during a meeting.
But I remain silent about the solution because I'm probably the only one who can make that happen.
If I make a statement, they say that absolutely,?
'Well, Ebata-san, please take charge of just the first part of that."
Do you think that the means to solve a problem can be divided into "first", "middle", "last", and so on, you stupid bastard?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an inductive rule of thumb for life: "If you talk, you will get hurt.
-----
So, as today's punchline, I am one of those "idiots."
It's too late now, but I am a selfish asshole.
I think I am a little brighter than those unaware of that awareness.
