Now I calculate the cost of children. In detail, I try to show you the total money of life and education cost for one child.

However I have investigated many data on web sites, I could not match the data with my daughter's cases.

As for the data of an insurance company, one child monthly allowance is more than 17,000 yen for 22 years.

"Is that really?"

I think you will agree with me.

Though my only entertainment is to go public bathhouse with sauna twice a month, why can I pay for the allowances to my daughters?

Moreover, the data of education cost on an insurance company's web site is twice and third higher than Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

I could find out that they added money for food and debauchery into the school fees in secret. But it is not the education cost.

-----

I am annoyed with you, press officers of the insurance company.

I could understand that you use such numeric for your invitation, but it is faithless to use non-logic or intentionally par praxis numbers.

I could not simulate the cost without accurate values, and not write my column with accurate information.

My column I wrote during this Golden week was all in vain.

How do you compensate this damage of mine?

I am about to open these URLs of insurance companies seriously.

I will accept your challenge anytime.

I have already got many data from pubic government to each school web sites.

-----

As an engineer, I never allow anyone who tries to process numbers, even if I can allow the person who tries to process pictures.

You know, I also have broken through many meeting and round robin with many kinds of numbers.

However, I have made up logical story that I made me deceive, at least.

The other days in my communte train, there was a man who looked like a college student, and said

""Steins;Gate" is my favorite"

with his friend.

-----

Reading a book, I thought in my mind,

"You have already been my best friend"

In a few years, I do housekeeping(maintenance and cooking) entirely for Golden week, summer and winter holidays

Setting up two displays of my personal computer at the kitchen table and watching a video program, I can enjoy making dishes.

I was watching movie news for the whole GW period. However, there were three accidents due to erroneous driving by elderly people, as long as I remember.

-----

There is a movement to "raise the rule for renewing driver's licenses for the elderly", but this movement doesn't work well at the moment.

I can understand the reasons very well.

Because cars are definitely life-lines, as well as water and electricity.

"To not move freely" means directly to death. Because they cannot even purchase food.

Especially for elderly people who have difficulty moving body freely, if they enforce to lose their car, they are likely to be ordered "wait for it to crawl on the spot and die."

Furthermore, to the citizens who have not yet caused an accident, Even though a nation has power, it is probably the exercise of power which is hard to break to make a license expire as a precautionary measure.

-----

Some people say easily "It is good for relatives to return their license", however, I am afraid that they don't know how difficult this is, because they don't encounter the scene.

In my case, I was able to activate violent enforcement measures against my parents. "beyond the red line" made me the decision.

(The story of this "Red Line" will be opened, when judging that my father's honor has not been affected)

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

The present Internet provider who has managed our neighborhood association(NA) server, could not accept my claim, thought I had to change the administrator and submit papers.

For the Internet provide, they should have been in trouble because they could not send a credit letter to me. Finally I concluded "this provider doesn't have a future".

I made up my mind that I discarded this HP with the domain name and rebuilt a new HP from scratch.

-----

After that I bought commercial software package for making HP, however it had many functions and luxury wastefully. I was afraid it was not user-friendly.

The concept of the HP I want to build, is a simple text-based "big" and "erasable" white board for an agenda, in short

"Web bulletin board"

(To be continued)

During the holidays, I was able to run a simple program of machine-learning, "Q-learning" (a type of reinforcement learning).

It is fun to see the learning progress, but

"Is this learning method so good?"

I can not answer the question.

-----

The characteristic of Q-learning is to connect the chain of "states" to an object whose rules are completely unknown. The merit of Q-learning is that it can automatically find the most efficient "chain of states".

This means "even if I leave it alone, the method can find the solution (x answer) by itself."

What we should not forget is that "it can make us easier".

However, in fact, reinforcement-learning can not be easily applied unless it is an object (such as a game) whose state is terribly simple.

If I express the state "as is" without any ingenuity, the solution space becomes too big, and no learning effect can be obtained at all. As a result of it, the state list gets too long and memory is smashed. In addition, it takes too much time for reward calculation, and the learning does not progress.

In other words, it goes without saying that the amount of information in the time continuum world is too large. However even just a state, that is cut as the time plane of the world, is not enough to handle on a computer.

For example, I am afraid that that even if we can use all super-computers in the world, it will be impossible to make them understand only ten seconds of my real world as a ten time planes

Therefore, we have to compress the time plane of the world, that is "modeling of the state".

In addition, no computer in the world has capabilities to realize "modeling of the state" automatically.

Above all, if we can realize "modeling of the state" by ourselves, we don't have to use the method of reinforcement-learning. We can use the model for the existing method(e.g. fuzzy reasoning).

If we can succeed at the modeling, we don't have to need reinforcement-learning.

In order to avoid this "modeling of the state", it seems that there is a way to compress the time plane, using "neural network".

However, in order to use reinforcement learning, if I have to build up a neural network, I will shout "What is what?"

-----

Well, whenever I wrote a lot of kanji sentences like above, I am usually in a passion.

I have been asking myself all the time while writing this Q-learning code

"The merit of reinforcement-learning is to make me easier, isn't it? Am I right?"

I told my daughter (senior daughter) that the animation "PSYCHO-PASS" is worth watching.

However, my daughter, who I advised and did not watch, started watching in order to talk with a friend at the university.

I told my wife that "PSYCHO-PASS" is worth watching.

My wife, who rarely sees anime, seems to finish watching total 22 episodes of the first cool episode of "PSYCHO-PASS psychopath" on Amazon PRIME today in one day, by daughter's advice.

-----

It may be unavoidable, but my evaluation doesn't seem to be accepted by my family.

(Continuation from yesterday)

By the way--

How much do you think this new corona vaccination costs per dose?

I did a little research and found various prices such as 200 yen, 400 yen, 1600 yen, etc. for the cost of the vaccine itself.

If you take out the R&D and manufacturing costs and just consider the real raw material, it would probably be "free" because RNA is just a nucleic acid.

However, there is not much point in talking about such "costs".

I did a little research and found various prices such as 200 yen, 400 yen, 1600 yen, etc. for the cost of the vaccine itself.

The price of vaccines in Japan is 2,070 yen per dose, which includes the cost of medical interview, vaccination site, labor cost of the medical personnel who administer the vaccine, transportation (at very low temperature), anaphylaxis, and insurance for adverse reactions.

It is slightly cheaper than the flu.

The vaccination for the new coronavirus is fully paid for by the government (with our blood tax).

If two vaccinations are given to 126 million people, that's 521,640,000,000 yen. A lot of money, but not a surprising amount of money when I consider the entire national budget.

(I still remember Dr. Shibata's calculation of the cost of PCR testing for the entire population -- "The cost of PCR testing for the entire population: 432 billion yen per test only (less than 2 trillion yen for four tests per year).

It would probably be more cost-effective for our country to have Pfizer sell us the vaccine.

-----

Of course, there is a risk -- a huge risk.

To be honest, a nation that is unable to respond quickly to the "mutant strains" that are about to emerge is in serious trouble.

When I think about it, it is still "scary" if we don't have a system for manufacturing vaccines in Japan, even if we have to pay a license fee for the patent rights.

In this column, I am writing a column exposing my ignorance and inexperience.

I once wrote about a time when I was scammed.

"Even though I have been very careful to say, "I am writing to expose my (Ebata's) ignorance, incompetence, and inability," there are still a certain number of people who "sprinkle salt on the wound"

I am deeply aware of this.

-----

Well, 'beating the dog that fell in the pond' is 'quite fun' for everyone (even me).

After all, the dog (me) is currently drowning in the pond, so I can't fight back.

In addition, I am also aware that, in my case, 'I have reasons to be beaten'.

I believe that a society that guarantees the ability to make these critical comments is a good one -- even if it is "beating the dog that fell into the pond".

-----

Just remember, I forget about the "person I "have beaten" in a few minutes. however,

I will not -- or rather, cannot -- forget the person who "beat" me, even if it takes me 10 years to do so.

I'll continue to retain vivid memories, and I think I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

-----

I have received the title of "Permanent Institution of Love" from my seniors at the laboratory.

Rather, I think "Fast Breeder Reactor of Hatred" would be more appropriate for me.

Today, I faced the "Dead Lock" I wrote yesterday.

Almost all of the troubles will happen just after the system modification. This is so typical.

-----

In order to avoid the deadlock, I asked workers in my company. A guy gave me a manual book with more than 100 pages. After reading it, I gave up easily.

However, the guy give a reply, "It was a piece of cake", I could complete the set in a minute

-----

The facts lead to the following.

- Manual books are apt to be written difficult, so too hard to get us what we want.

- A human being (like me) is apt to believe human words more than manuals.

I made a memorandum about what I did, and the volumes are only 10 line-document and two hardcopy sheets.

-----

The reason why manuals are so long and hard to read is to become a problem if the problem happens.

On the other hand, my memorandum is just for me, so even if someone tries some actions by reading my memorandum, it is not my business.

Even I also got in terrible trouble by reading another's memorandum. So It is "mutual"

Well, I think it is something that ordinary companies are too afraid to do.

The other day, my wife and I watched a recording of "Choic" of Heroes Special: Murasaki Shikibu: A Thousand Years of Solitude, The Truth of The Tale of Genji."

Waka poems appeared in the program, and a commentary on modern colloquialisms also came after the Waka poem.

Me: "This is our country's language, so Japanese people should be able to understand it without 'modern' colloquial' explanations.

Wife: "You could say that."

However, I don't understand any archaic language, so I cannot watch such a program.

Besides, I think the logic is a bit too painful.

As a student, I once traveled to Japan and encountered a dialect I could not understand in 90% of the conversations. In other words, this is a problem before learning ancient languages.

-----

I previously discussed trigonometric functions' "need/no need" in my Math Unnecessity column.

リカレント教育【前編】 三角関数不要論と個性の壊し方https://t.co/5zvbXfyBqZ pic.twitter.com/iREa9AlER7

? EE Times Japan編集部 (@eetimes_jp) June 24, 2019

At this point, I have concluded that at this time.

'The unverified past performance' is the only basis for the 'need' of trigonometric functions.'

In other words, 'I don't don't (why I should take trigonometric functions).

In contrast, the goals for ancient texts are more concrete.

Goal: To create Japanese people who will not need to use modern colloquial explanations of the contents of The Tale of Genji, The Hyakunin Isshu, and The Chronicles of Japan.

Of course, this is a tremendously high hurdle, but it is a clear goal to aim for.

I think understanding what used to be one's language, even if it is archaic, can be accepted (without logic) as a feeling.

In the same way, we can concretize our goals for English.

Goal: To create Japanese people who can enjoy foreign films without Japanese subtitles in movie theaters.

The goal is worthy of reaching a "joyful" life and a "prosperous life."

However, this is the same: it is a tremendous hurdle.

-----

I don't know how many years or even decades later, but all Japanese will say?

"Why should I read The Tale of Genji in a modern mistranslation?"

"Subtitles? What is it?

I think it would be a "good "future" if "Japanese people behaved like the above.
