2014-11-06 Though it is absolutely the case of "Power", it is not all.

According to the word "Power", many people might come to think that the word should be pair with "common person that suffers from poverty under the coercion".

Thought it is absolutely the case of "Power", it is not all.

For example,

"For my case, I had to write an English contract by myself, and the contract was remanded from a department three times, and totally I had to spend more than three weeks"

Against the above issue,

"For an executive’s case, the department wrote an English contract and managed awkward transactions by the department. Totally, the only two days were needed."

This is also a kind of "Power" respectability.

-----

The above stories are just an example in order to understand "Power", and there is no relationship between the department and Ebata.


2015-11-06 "Diet dwells in the details(part2)".

(Continuation from yesterday)

For example,

According to "detail", I have been concerned about not only food's Calorie but also bodily waste.

- When I have a shit, I think "this is two(200g)".

- When I have a piss, I think "this is 3.5(350g)".

I can measure the weight accurately.

(with mounting the weighing machine, before-after)

Moreover, this "detail" is reaching each data, for example,

- The weight changing in a sleep dramatically,

- It being possible to reduce the weight by an intake of the alcohol (dehydration effect),

- I know what day of the week I lose my weight best

- I grasp how many days the impact comes after eating "Hokkyoku ramen".

At least three scales always go in my house, and I revise the scale error.

-----

Well, I think you don't have to go to paranoid state like this.

However, I believe that

"God of the diet dwells in the overhead of the person who can think about one's "weight of the shit"

At least, any God is not coming to persons who read a book whose title "how to diet easily"


2016-11-06 "Start running first, even if there is time of thinking"

This is a related the diary of yesterday. about the series of my column, there were two sale times of printed book, however both were cancelled.

The reason of the cancel were

"What is a new value of printed book even if has already opened in the Web site."

-----

According to the web based column, the restriction of the number of page is loose, the modification of typos are easier and the claim from readers is accepted readily.

For me, it is good for a person like me,

"Start running first, even if there is a time of thinking"

On the contrary, printed books are not good for me, because I am not good at controlling amount of pages and typos, and I prefer to use several types of fonts of characters.

Even so, I cannot help but admiring the printed book on the middle shelf of the bookcase.

-----

I have already given up the my dream.

In my present frame of mind, "my columns are useful for someone" is enough for my joy.


2017-11-06 We will live while receiving "treatment of my excrement" by someone somewhere.

At this age, a birthday is less fun than ordinary days.

I do not care much what I am heading towards the end of my life.

A birthday is a day for me to realize that "a day when I can not control myself" is surely approaching.

To tell you the truth,

The appearance of parents who become old and can no longer control themselves are figures of mine in the future.

So, maybe no one can escape from the fact.

From everyday, I who am saying or writing elusive things to the world,

will live while receiving "treatment of my excrement" by someone somewhere.

-----

"Only I am special. Only I can complete the last of life that is not miserable". There is no reason why such favorable things happen for you.

Even those who are said to be "healthy old people" will be ultimately "an old man who can not handle excrement on our own".

The longer the period is, the longer our abomination continues to be exposed, and the heavier the state is a burden of many people (especially of the people).

(To be continued)


2018-11-06 "I will find the guy, kill him and enforce to stop the investigation"

Recently, there was a case that a suspect who was interrogated escaped, and many police officers were mobilized to search for him.

It goes without saying that it is the suspect that is bad, but it also goes without saying that police organizations should be blamed more.

However, I think that the method of criticism is 'weak'.

I am still wondering.

"A total of 2,000 police officers were mobilized for the search"

is worse than

"An additional cost overwhelmed 60 million for searching, has occurred at the present time"

from the viewpoint of criticism. However, I have never heard that such a way.

If it is said that "the police of the jurisdiction is insufficient and they asked for support, travel expenses, accommodation expenses, food expenses, others, will overlap further.

"Business confusion" is, of course, a situation that is not organized as a budget (right?). If they get extra money from somewhere, they should not be able to keep their works.

Moreover, for the sake of the incident, they can not overlook the fugitive.

They never say that "we will cease the investigation, because the investigation expenses exceeded 100 million yen"

-----

However, this way will beyond the criticism of the police authorities, and we can expect to be transformed into citizen's anger.

"Just because that guy succeeds in running away the day, our blood tax is being wasted in "millions of yen units""

"If he does not get caught for a month, it is lightly reaching the order of "billion"

If we consider it, "anger" should come up in a moment.

If we think that money should have been passed on to "child care" or "nursing care", we come to think naturally,

"I will find the guy, kill him and enforce to stop the investigation"

-----

Our citizens do not have "cooperation of good intentions". "Power (police)" and "good will" have been incompatible for a long time.

Our citizens do not move with "prize money". If we take us leave from the television for 3 seconds, we lose interest the face of criminal and forget it.

However,

"Our blood tax is being stolen" will be clarified by "numerical value" and when we were able to switch to feelings of "hatred",

At that time, we will start moving.


2019-11-06 You could understand why I am interested in "suicide method" by looking at the following.

I am Tomoichi Ebata, living in the "Shiniki(Experimental Special Administrative Region)" area.

It is sudden, however,

Is there a full description of "suicide method" in Babylon (novel)?

I really want to read the legal statements.

By the way, I will ignore the natural response of "Buy the Book".

If there is no statement in the book, it seems to feel very damaged.

After watching the anime, I will buy the book anyway.

-----

You could understand why I am interested in "suicide method" by looking at the following.

Here is the legal interpretation I have looked at regarding suicide.

Here is the reader's interpretation of my question:

"Can the law ask for omissions, if Ebata continue to just look at suicide, without stopping it?"


2020-11-06 Then I guess I'll just have to keep observing, independently, in the restroom.

Anytime I see a male urinal installed in a train station, I run a simulation in my head.

Women may not know this, but there are usually three male urinals installed in stations.

And every time I look at these three urinals, I think.

------

- Which urinal is the best strategy to use when all three of these are available?

- Which urinal is the best strategy to use, left or right, when the middle is in use?

- Should you avoid urinals while the water is flowing?

Then, taking into account the average time of use of urinals, the dispersion of urinals by age, and the congestion rate at the time of use

Which of these is the best reasoning engine to build into these, urinal-using male agent programs ?

- Rule-based reasoning to describe behavior verbally

- Alternatively, reinforcement learning to derive behavior from observations

- Or, virtual agents to model behavioral economics

It is fun for me to think about those things.

-----

As you can imagine, we are not allowed to set up a camera in the toilet. However, if we had data on the time of the human sensors installed at the urinal, I think I could hypothesize and test it there.

So here's a request to all toilet bowl manufacturers.

Would you mind releasing that time-series human sensor response time data to me?

Huh? You're not measuring that kind of data?

No, no, I'm sure you are measuring it.

The use rates of male urinals are important data for your company.

This is because you need to apply queuing theory to calculate the urinals needed at each station.

"There's no reason to disclose it to Ebata because it's important data"

Oh, that's certainly reasonable.

-----

Then I guess I'll just have to keep observing, independently, in the restroom.

But for sure, I'm sure they'll call the police.

Even I think, "If I find a suspicious person like that, I'm definitely going to call the police".


2021-11-06 "Yeah, I've been doing a little 'mind control' lately..."

I read "Mind Control" by Takashi Okada.

I learned a lot from the systematic way in which past mind control research has been summarized.

I have been doing research and development on control of machines and systems for almost 20 years.

And it's true that I'm getting more and more interested in "human control".

-----

But,

"Ebata started to steer to the "dark side" again."

is not true.

In the first place, the "behavioral change" called for in the Corona disaster is "human control" in a broad sense.

However, "behavior change" is fundamentally different from "mind control", which is the practice of fundamentally changing one's beliefs.

Mind control is the process of forcibly implanting a particular thought or idea into a person's mind, after knocking down the environment and way of thinking that the person has had in his or her life.

----

Nevertheless, mind control techniques can be used for techniques to induce behavioral change.

(1) Thoroughly limit (reduce to zero) the input of information, and conversely, continue to provide a vast amount of information.

(2) Putting the brain into a state of fatigue by keeping it constantly thinking under high tension.

(3) Keeping them from making their own decisions and keeping them dependent on a specific person.

I felt a sense of deja vu and thought, "Oh, I've seen this story somewhere before", and then I realized, "This is just like the social networking sites and the media in the last two years regarding the Corona disaster.

I think this is true not only for those who continue to reject vaccines, but also for those who are pro-vaccine.

I believe that there are very few people who have made the decision to vaccinate or refuse to vaccinate based solely on their own research, study and beliefs.

-----

At the moment, I can't use advanced techniques like controlling other people's brains (mind control), but I almost destroyed my own brain once -- with a diet.

Yes, at that time, I was blue in the face when I realized how easy it was to destroy my own brain.

-----

I once bought a book exposing how the author used fake news on social networking sites to lead Trump to victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, but the author's writing style ("I'm awesome") made me uncomfortable, so I stopped reading it.

I'm going to read it again.

However,

"Mr. Ebata. What are you working on now?"

"Yeah, I've been doing a little 'mind control' lately..."

If I say something like that, I think I will be met with disapproval. So, I'd like to think about how to say it.


2022-11-06 "Your (Ebata's) opinion doesn't move the world even one millimeter"

This weekend, I was coding all day long -- because I had a lot of work.

So, just a few minutes ago, I finally completed a program to create 100 tourists and 100 local agents in a city in Japan.

Of course, I knew that I could "make it," but when it came to actually making it, I had to remember a lot of things, and it took longer than expected.

-----

So, relieved, I went down to the living room and found my wife watching a TV program she had recorded.

I watched the program for about 20 seconds and went straight back to the study -- because I was about to say something unwanted to my wife who was watching TV.

The drama seems to be based on a "game production site," but the setting of the program development site was too "improbable".

- The program development site (x system operation site) that allows cyber-attacks to go unchecked can only be thought of as a "bunch of idiots," and

- It's common sense to double or triple backups, and to keep them in the cloud, and

- I've never heard such a startling interpretation of a program as a "data blueprint"!

However, it is not mature to poke a lot of questions about them.

"I'm not talking about the lack of archaeological evidence or anything like that. This is just a goofy setup that I'm daring to use in order to make it easier for drama viewers to understand"

I believe that this is a good idea.

However, this also indicates, conversely, that this is the level of "knowledge of program development" among the general public.

-----

Frankly, I was horrified.

I discuss domestic politics, foreign policy, and military affairs in my columns in a pompous manner -- basically, I'm an amateur.

There is no way I can compete with the knowledge and expertise of bureaucrats, politicians, and civil servants (Self Defense Force members and firefighters) who are involved in domestic, diplomatic, and military affairs in real time.

But in response to my column, I have never received such a comment, like "Amateur!" or "Stay out of it!"

-----

Actually, I might have discussed domestic policy, foreign policy, and military things, despite having only this TV drama level of knowledge.

And from the people at the front field,

"Well, after all, he(Ebata) is just an amateur isn't he?"

I was afraid that I might have continued to be overlooked by the warm-hearted eyes. When I thought about it, I became truly frightened.

"Your (Ebata's) opinion doesn't move the world even one millimeter"

Just the thought of someone saying that to me is so embarrassing that I want to roll around on the floor.


2023-11-06 Then, when I was able to get a refund or reduce the amount in the system, I would shout a battle cry of "I won!"

I was lecturing on the "invoice system" in my company's E-Learning program, so I used ChatGPT to prepare.

"Please explain the invoice system as simply as possible."

"Explain the invoice system using a familiar, concrete example."

"List the advantages and disadvantages of the invoice system."

-----

My understanding:

"This is an attempt to visualize cash flow in Japan, not at the arterial level but at the capillary level."

-----

This system seems to be effective in preventing tax evasion.

However, it will likely be cumbersome and enormously costly for businesses and consumers.

And I, as a researcher--

As a struggler analyzing human behavior patterns with numbers on a computer every day, I am very interested in the data that the invoice system will provide.

However, it is doubtful that we can get such data released as open data.

At the very least, I believe the government will provide statistical data.

Aside from that.

-----

As a standard citizen, I believe 'I am willing to go to any lengths to evade taxes...or rather, to save taxes.'

I have also done the proper tax returns for my now-deceased father and mother.

I made no false declarations, but I was prepared to arm ourselves with the proper logic regarding necessary expenses and others.

Then, when I could get a refund or reduce the amount in the system, I would shout a battle cry of "I won!"

If you call it "a petty struggle against power by a small citizen," - well, you could say that.
