2014-04-04 Once, the days made me happy overwhelmingly with no reason.

Last night, I enjoyed reading "Owari-monogatari(latter)" written by Ishin Nishio-san.

In the book, the scene that the hero and heroine competed in singing songs with scores from the karaoke-machine appeared.

As an engineer, I can determine that the score is not trustworthiness absolutely.

The parameters of the machine must be tuned by engineers.

I can estimate how the engineers make the score algorism.

(1)analysis of key frequency, (2)calculation of the time between specified points of sound, (3)making score as synchronic ratios from the (2)(3).

Maybe there looks like the above three points.

No engineer tries to load another function from the view points of memory and CPU and have spirit to do them.

According to the above parameters, the score becomes worse, the better she sings a song.

So, I think that Ms. Hitagi Senjyougahara doesn't let her down.

-----

When I was a college student, there were many branches that showed "Computer fortune-telling" in college festival. I know well that are squiffy doo.

My wife who majored in English literature input the programming code to personal computer.

"Great! Did you design the algorism?"

I was surprised to heat it from her, she said,

"I just input meaningless many characters from a PC magazine"

The period absolutely existed that

Everybody believe anything with the word "computer”, and everybody respected me only because I could use computer.

Once, the days made me happy overwhelmingly with no reason.


2015-04-04 He was a radical walking reader.

In Japan, "Ninomiya Kinzirou" is a very famous historical person, you know. but most people don't know what he was rewarded with good results.

His formal name is "Ninomiya Sontoku". He was a agricultural administration measure coordinator.

He displayed his talents for revival of the flood damage, advice to the local government (Odawara feudal clan) for the issue of famine, and finance reform.

But he is not a historical person for both my second daughter and me. He is a mental prop itself.

-----

He was a radical walking reader.

He practiced "walking reading", and made some good fruits. He is one of the obvious example.

For us at "Walking reader" school, his life style is a golden rule in our life, and a typical antithesis against the critics who blame for "walking reading".

Recently, the imitators who are called "Walking Smart phone" are annoying us "Walking reader" school.

I cannot put up with such unripe people, who has no ideal of "Ninomiya Sontoku" and no technique of walking reading.

2016-04-04 Remaining our life time is really short despairingly.

(Continuation from yesterday)

Remaining our life time is really short despairingly.

In this despairing short period, "getting more than two interests at the same time" is same as "terminating the life without mastering anything, like "this"".

There is an advice of the novel prize winner, that is

"Though there are a lot of problems we should resolve in the world, the time we have to spend for each problem is same. So we should think of which problem we try first seriously and carefully".

I think that it is utterly logical.

If I have time to make the time wave clock module, I think that I should try another problem (for the global peace, for example).

If I have been able to understand the background logically, I had already get the novel "engineer" prize.

-----

In the comic "Chihayafuru", Harada-sensei said,

"I am not going to be strong, even if I bet everything in my youth" Hey guy. Why do you say it before betting anything ?"

I think that Harada-sensei's comment is just an argument,

But Harada-sensei, if they cannot achieve the purpose in spite of spending their youth period, it becomes a big loss doesn't it?

2017-04-04 However, I am afraid that this content is "interesting" only for those who think "interesting".

My senior daughter wanted to learn about "Three Kingdoms". When I asked the reason, it was me.

By the way,

"If you can talk about "Three Kingdoms" in singles party, you will become popular with men"

It was me that told her the above.

I think that "Three Kingdoms" is more interesting than Hollywood heroes at least.

However, on the other hand, among "Three Kingdoms" fans, there are many people who make them feel quite unpleasant.

-----

Currently, I am listening to "Three Kingdoms" on Youtube (×watching), but this is an amazing feature, full of 100 episodes in full.

Normally, it will become boring for such this long content, but this is quite "interesting".

First of all, it is decisively different from other contents that we can recognize that huge number of characters in visuals.

And the performances of these characters are also unique and fun.

It seemed to me, that in the battle scene, like red walls, kanto, and Illeung, they are much more powerful than Hollywood movie making full use of CG,

-----

However, I am afraid that this content is "interesting" only for those who think "interesting".

Slaughter, betrayal, conspiracy, buddy, retribution, are repeated endlessly. There is a scene in which hundreds of thousands of young soldiers dies of dogs due to the elderly in the main character around the end chapter. The story give me a feeling of "I am sure to be really careful".

Well, what I want to say,

"Three Kingdoms" is not an enjoyable content with the intention of "getting a man in singles party".

-----

So, as me as a father, my senior daughter should not spend time on such "disgusting content"

at her brilliant campus life to start from now


2018-04-04 However, it is also true that "technology" often leaves behind "human being".

I told you again and again that I believe

"Easy is a justice"

"Technology make our life easier"

Therefore,

"Technology is a justice". This is my cherished motto as an engineer.

-----

However, it is also true that "technology" often leaves behind "human being".

An technology that ignores human's capability and environment, is not enough for a justice.

Recently I can understand deeply this fact, when not only returning home, but also attending at the neighborhood association(NA) meeting.

-----

I calculated the ratio between digital native and non-native frankly before.

The result was 6:4.

In short, 60% persons in my town are not annoyed by IT works and services of NA.

Company and government offices will discard the 40% persons and drive the IT works and services.

In my opinion, "IT is a technology and a technology makes me easier."

Of course, I know well that the purpose of IT is "money(cutting job)"

2019-04-04 However, eating at a beef restaurant or a standing buckwheat noodle is "unusual," but it is not "immoral." It is natural.

(Continuation from yesterday)

I think it has increased considerably compared to the past, however, the view that high school girls are in such places is still "unusual."

And we tend to avoid being considered "rare."

Because we know well that "inconspicuous" is an advantage to live.

By the way, "the best policy is to keep your head down" is not a proverb in me, but a law of nature.

-----

However, eating at a beef restaurant or a standing buckwheat noodle is "unusual," but it is not "immoral." It is natural.

As a researcher, I have a feeling that I would like to verify this problem, in a social experiment of "Yoshinoya for women only" or "Standing buckwheat noodle shop with women's day of the week".

In addition, I am interested in the customer attraction rate when the condition of "no companion with a friend" or "only one visitor" is attached.

-----

Everyone at the fast food management team.

How about these social experiments as digging up potential customers?


2020-04-04 "At the elegant tea party where the cherry blossoms are blooming, while making to a haiku poem, with hearing birdsong"

The other day,

""A forefront of corona infection battle" sent by a doctor to an engineer"

I received the second e-mail from Dr.Shibata,"Shibata, the cutting in two under train wheels" the author of this column.

Today, in response to the email, I will a "Request email from me (Ebata)" sent to me by Dr.Shibata.

====== From here ======

Dear Dr.Shibata.

I read your email.

Basically, I don't think there is a logical contradiction between the email I received last time and the one I received this time.

You wrote "change of opinion" yourself, but I couldn't feel anything wrong.

It was a remarkable "supplement" that strengthened the previous content.

That aside.

-----

At the moment, the content of Dr.Shibata's e-mail, which has been published by me, as my my contribution, has over 5,000 tweets and messages.

I have read all of these messages (true). Many readers seem to understand the content of Dr.Shibata's previous email correctly, and have come up with the same conclusions as Dr.Shibata's email this time.

This is, in my experience, a pretty “miracle” situation.

Both EE Times Japan and I were preparing for the premise of "Flame", but at the moment no flame has occurred.

I think this is because Dr.Shibata's content has solved the two difficult (conflicting) issues, that is the content has a logical structure while while snuggling up with the reader.

However, this means that only those who have the ability to understand Dr.Shibata's content are likely to be "selected".

-----

By the way,

In this SNS message, the word "long" appears almost entirely.

In the field of my engineers, we do not call this content "long."

After all, Dr.Shibata's column is written in Japanese, without jargon, and in colloquial language.

Compared to the fact that we engineers read more than 30 patent specifications (including English text sometimes) over 30 pages in one day, he burden of reading this column is likely that,

"At the elegant tea party where the cherry blossoms are blooming, while making to a haiku poem, with hearing birdsong"

Well, it may be unusually long for a web article, however, all of my articles are basically long.

This may be an evidence that I (we?) are at 2-3 σ with the average of society.

(Every rude junior emphasizes it and scolds me.)

Restless talk

-----

If you are not annoyed about this email (the 2nd ) of Dr.Shibata, I would like to make it public on our website.

There is no public relations power like EE Times Japan, however for "many readers"

(Honestly speaking, it doesn't matter, but just for "me")

I am convinced that the content must be kept.

So I may make some tampering to make it easier for me in the future to read.

I hope that we will work as the followings, as an approach, (Step.1) I edit, (Step.2) Dr.Shibata checks, (Step.3) If we get the final OK, (Step.4) I disclose the URL on my blog.

I will do it without the burden of Dr.Shibata, so I would appreciate it if you could consider it.(I do not think there is a need for super-early publication like the last time)

Thank you for your continued support.

Tomoichi Ebata

====== To here ======


2021-04-04 My second daughter seems to have come into my territory.

These are my second daughter's textbooks for college.

As described here,

"Without matrices and calculus, there is no way to understand the world"

I know this truth.

-----

My second daughter seems to have come into my territory.


2022-04-04 "I'm going to die because I was seduced into getting vaccinated by a column by a guy named Ebata"

Today, new my column is released, so I take a day off.

-----

I talked with my wife about the main theme of this issue: fear of vaccination.

Ebata: "You didn't find the vaccination scary?"

Wife: "I don't have any pre-existing conditions, and I had heard about the side effects, so I kind of thought, 'I'll be fine.'"

Ebata: "How do you think if you had had a strong allergic reaction or anaphylaxis in the past and you had had to go to the emergency room?"

Wife: "Then I would definitely feel 'scared. ' I think it's natural to feel like, 'I don't want me to do anything.'"

------

My mother was hospitalized immediately after the first vaccination, and subsequent vaccinations were stopped by the doctor, and she was in and out of the hospital and transferred to other hospitals repeatedly.

Then, in January of this year, she died of cardiac arrest.

Perhaps the cause of my mother's death was the 'vaccination'.

If I were to die suddenly from myocarditis, it might be due to 'corona vaccination'.

Or it could be the "flu vaccination" that I receive every year, or the "tranquilizers" that I take once a week.

Or it could be the "sleeping pills" that I take once a month or so, or it could be "Hokkyoku Ramen".

By the way, I am not trying to be a joke.

As Dr. Shivata discusses in this column.

(1) Some people have died of myocarditis because of vaccination

(2) Some people have died of myocarditis due to COVID-19 .

(3) Some people have died of myocarditis unrelated to the above (1) and (2)

(Please read the column "CQ Last Number" for more information on that ratio.)

If you vaccinate, you will not be able to identify any of the reasons for (1), (2), or (3) above, but if you do not vaccinate, you will not have to consider at least (1).

I think that is one of the most satisfying ways to die.

"I'm going to die because I was seduced into getting vaccinated by a column by a guy named Ebata"

I am sure that the life that ends with the thought, will be a life of regret.

-----

I am the reverse pattern.

"I waited for the day of the mRNA vaccination like a child waiting for a field trip"

I doubt there are 10 such people in the country, but still, here is one.

I was excited just by the idea of vaccines by in silico (computer-aided design, etc.).

I thought 'bug out was perfect' with the good fortune that our country is a latecomer to the corona vaccine and is also the next in line of medical professionals in the country.

A phrase that has been used in our field for nearly 20 years is "the fusion of analog and digital," but I never thought it would be realized in this way.

Therefore, for me, it is satisfying to end my life thinking, "Was the fusion of analog and digital technology premature?"

-----

I am well aware -- that I have an abnormal paradigm.


2023-04-04 "I will not write about what I heard today for the next three years"

Tonight I attended the kick-off drinks for the department I am transferring to.

Even I would like to cherish milestone events.

At the close of the meeting, I was asked to say a few words.

"I will not write about what I heard today for the next three years"

-----

Just after everyone looked like, "What is he talking about?, they asked me "What is this 'talk'?" immidately. However, Smiling at them and I left soon.

In the future, I might not be called even milestone events.


2024-04-04 I will not comment on the case of Mr. Matsumoto's case itself.

I will not comment on the case of Mr. Matsumoto's case itself.

Because I remember the "Los scandal" of 1981.

This case was then and still is too complicated for me to understand.

For those interested, click here.

I was a teenager then and did not pay much attention to the case.

However, I remember how heated the public and the media were.

-----

I still remember it clearly,

The weekly magazine, which had called the person out in the case and treated him like a criminal, called him "Mr." after his acquittal by the Supreme Court and published an article that was "sympathetic" to "what he experimented treatment as a criminal."

It was a weekly magazine that included the word "women."

I remember cursing the weekly magazine for its "ignorance," "incompetence," "irresponsibility," "illiteracy," "unbelief," "lack of character," "shamelessness," and a host of other abuses that would have been inadequate.

Even now, I can't erase that feeling when I see people reading those weekly magazines (Omitted below).

-----

As a writer, I am also subject to criticism and condemnation.

I don't blame them; however, I try not to be abused as "shameless.

If I write something wrong and am convinced it is wrong, I can say, 'I was wrong.?I am sorry,' and I will continue to do so.

It is relatively unimportant to me whether "I" am right or not.

I am a researcher & engineer trained to change my mind within 3 seconds if I am convinced I am wrong.
