There is an extreme event "business presentation of trainee in two year" in my company.

This "extreme" means that instructors, managers, and general managers assist the rookies of the second year, and all of executive directors attend the event.

In my case, I had been ordered to rewrite reports and presentation materials by them, and I have almost been broken physically and mentally.

Among them, the worst in the lowest was an inconsistent hierarchy.

The instructors, managers, and general managers issue the contradict order to the rookies, and parts of them tries to ignore the principle on purpose and never permit the modification.

Each supervisor acts for their merit with using week rookies.

Of course, this is a rule violation of the company, so rookies could stop the contradict order. If they do it, the human relationships are absolutely broken, because,

The rookies are about to daub boss’s face with mud.

The rookies take courage to do it. In fact they need madness.

Additionally, the executive enforce them to change the concept of the almost completed presentation before a few days.

For example, "the term of "Global" should be added in all presentation material"

Of course, the flow of presentation is going to be destroyed. Rookies become nervous and continue to fall in sick in sequence.

-----

"Stop this stupid event as soon as possible!"

I always have been claimed to be consistent since joining company.

To begin with, this event doesn't generate merit but demerit. I had wanted to calculate it.

I used to seriously think that I was going to expose the result at the shareholders' meeting

-----

By the way, could you see the same of their behave scandalously in your ordinal days?

Especially, if you were middle management like me.

To be continued

These days, the word "big data" often enters the stage in the world of the IT.

However, before talking about "big data", I often realize that we do not use "data" itself.

------

By the way, first day of this long holidays, I came back to my country house by car unusually.

It is about 350km roughly from the home to the country house, the use of the expressway is as premise.

This time, I completed homecoming without traffic jam.

It is an easy story.

I can take off a place and the time when a traffic jam is generated.

Frankly speaking, I have just two policies "I start movement in the middle of the night" and "I sleep in parking area at the outbreak time of the traffic jam"

If an accident occurs, I do not go into the traffic jam and watch the program which I recorded with the notebook PC which I brought into the car in parking area. I can use time effectively in various meanings.

-----

However, many people might say "the hours can not be arranged" "I understand it well".

(To be continued)

I think that I know more the power distribution and transmission system more than ordinary people.

In the morning of the other day, an blackout happened, and I confirmed the breaker, went out, accessed a transportation information system by a cell-phone, and, searched an transistor radio.

In short, It was me, running around wham-bam.

Hearing my shout "Get ready for the coming S-wave !", my wife and daughter was having a piece of toast with ease.

It was helpful time that only a head of family became panic.

(The cause of the blackout seemed to be a small fire of nearby brush)

-----

Sometimes, "To know a lot" becomes worse.

Once, in ruling contesting the illegality about "the police were tailing with a GPS in the car of the suspect (without the letter of the court)".

The court has made a ruling that "there is no serious illegality"

I wrote that "I feel strangeness" in my diary.

-----

Because I thought

"Why the police skipped the process to get the letter from the court before using GPS or Wifi or another devices?"

"You guys, are professional law enforcement agencies, called "judicial police". If you are professional, not pull out the hand of the job. "

-----

Since GW starts, I got a massed time. Therefore, I read the full sentence of the Supreme Court sentence(but it was a very short sentence).

-----

The contents of the judgement sentence is basically the same as my opinion,

- Do not cut the corner(→ properly take the warrant through the court)

- If you want it, Legislate properly (→ try to Lobby activities)

Besides there were interesting "supplemental opinions" (2 of 15 of Supreme Court justices )

- We know well that the legislation takes much time, so the court should issue a warrant, given the seriousness of the incident.

I thought that this "supplemental opinions" was very important, however, no news had said it.

-----

This Supreme Court ruling was common interpretation, based on the penal code law principle. So I did not understand why the opinion was divided by the lower court.

Both Osaka and Hiroshima District Court said "no illegality", on the other hand, Nagoya District Court judged said "illegality".

Osaka and Hiroshima has a image of gangsters in my mind.

Maybe "regionality influences judgement?"

I thought that vaguely.

"When I was walking in the city, I was scouted "

"My friend applied for a contest without my permission"

I do not have a means to know whether the remarks of the entertainment people including those called idols are true.

"When I was walking in the office, I was forced to work from the section chief (drinking party secretary) -"

"The director built me into the project of overseas collaborative research without my permission".

You also do not have a means to know whether the remarks of me are true.

However, the bottom two (the office version) is true.

-----

By the way,

"Every day when I posted a blog, I was scouted "Do you want to contribute your column ?"

It is also true.

The person who was working for web publishing service, called to me. (Now I heard that he is working for other company)

I think I was lucky, indeed.

And still, I am attached to this lucky.

(Continuation from yesterday)

For me who only knows the names of thinkers and philosophers, there is no way how to judge true or false.

In order to refute the opponent, I must thoroughly learn about the original book of the thinker and philosopher.

But in the first place, I was not interested in such things.

Besides, from that time,

"How does a person (philosopher) who intends to improve society write a book that the public can not understand?"

I thought "I don't have to work hard to understand such a philosopher's book on such a stance,"

-----

On the other hand, the world of technology (especially engineering) is clear.

"The only thing that moved as originally planned is the correct answer, and only the person who was able to move is justice"

This is an absolute value standard.

So, no matter how well they speak technology, at least I can not trust anyone who can not move things.

Especially, a person who speak a concept only and mass-produce the power point, is out of my scope. there are many such people in the field of artificial intelligence technology.

I trust people who write 100-line executive programs with their own hands, rather than those who mass-produce 100 power points.

The voice of those who actually make things is very persuasive, and things that are made in this way are strong enough to be violent.

I look at the moving things, examine their contents, and marvel at the technological powers put into them.

-----

However, I am not a fool of the person who makes the "concept".

The "concept" is, I think that is the same as "making things", If it is so concrete and realistic that it is an immediate execution possible state.

If they show the concept in a practical state, I think that I will be obsessed and obsessed with them.

On the contrary, I don't like a person who is just a PowerPoint maker with calling "concept shop".

Unfortunately, in my life, I have never met people beyond "concept shop" (others, "standardizing shop", "business model shop", etc.).

For now, other than "making things", there is no one who has made me insane, blind and obedient.

We received the following request from Dr. Shibata.

====== Request from Dr. Shibata from here =====

Currently, my junior high school children are lazy at home.

I made them read the article saying "Programming is essential in the future" that appeared in today's morning newspaper article, and they said, "somehow interesting?"

By the way, they are not able to explain the meaning of the words "programming language" "OS" "editor" "file" "folder". (I will give the outlines to them in the future.)

My skill is about to copy and paste a Excel macro from the web and execute it.

For exampe, I think that I am "a rolling villager who don't know where the evtrace of a pyramid before excavation"

Therefore, "I would like you to write Mr. Ebata's memorandum with the title (contents) of "A book that a IT engineer introductory to junior high school students and high school students( or startup method) .

====== Request from Dr. Shibata to here =====

I'm one of the people who feels a tremendous sense of crisis in the "programming education" of teenagers.

For more details, please read the following.

It means, human beings are not compatible with mathematics perhaps.

"I will never do programming for my life"

I can already see the "big failure" of programming education in the compulsory education process at this stage, even if not seen by others.

In the first place, I think that "fun programming" is contradictory as "white gray".

For both human beings and computers, "programming languages" are only tools to mutually understand at the last minute

"Why does Ebata try to make a program that nobody will use whenever he release a new column?"

So, why do not we focus on "spreadsheet education"?

First of all, they should not come up with the power to "go to the PC."

If they can make full use of "Excel", I believe that we make no never mind of programming.

"getting over their dislike of numbers (not math)"

(5) We strongly encourage employment of Tomoichi Ebata as a teacher at the site of formulation, planning, and programming education of (1) to (4) above.

-----

I think it is impossible for a teenager to create a programming environment as much as "absolutely absolute power".

If I teach a program that compiles and only displays "Hello World" to them, I am afraid that "the child's future as a programmer is over".

I don't think there are any children who can endure that "desperate boringness".

So my claim is

"If you want to teach teenagers programming, don't let them program"

is the word for it.

(Continuation from yesterday)

Live-action adaptations of popular anime usually fail.

Nevertheless, I have continued to say that we should not deny the secondary creation of content.

Why?

Because that is what is essential for a masterpiece like "Live-action Rurouni Kenshin" to be born.

-----

That aside...

From human point of view, the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is the strongest, worst and most hateful enemy against humanity.

However, from the point of view of the virus, it is literally just a desperate survival strategy, wanting to survive at all costs.

If human's primitive strategy (no contact) is 100% enforced, this infection (COVID-19) can be 100% exterminated.

Absolutely.

In fact, I believe that our country has so far managed to push COVID-19 to the brink of extinction.

On the other hand, the COVID-19 continues to make an unyielding effort to spread and infect us without missing a single moment of our carelessness (drinking parties, banquet)

But the humans too are waging the war of annihilation against COVID-19, with no regard for the economic sacrifice -- on a national level.

So, in order to survive, COVID-19 continues to marry (or more accurately, "cross" and "mutate") to create stronger and more survivable "children".

And most of these "children" fail and die.

The number of failures is not in the hundreds of millions, but in the trillions and even the millions.

And the miraculous child that was born at the end of such a dizzying series of failures -- that is

"mutant strain".

------

What I'm trying to say--

"Mutant strain" is the same as "Live-action Rurouni Kenshin" in the COVID-19 world.

Both of them have one thing in common: they can't be born without making a series of mind-boggling mistakes.

I wrote down in my notes what I wanted to do during this holiday weekend, then, there were a tremendous number of things to do.

"Why do I (we) put such excessive demands on myself(ourselves) during the holidays?"

Is it a "holiday illusion," so to speak?

The time we are given and the abilities we have, do not jump during the holidays.

The only advantage is that 'emails and phone calls don't come to us'.

-----

I have been coding deeply since the first day of GW.

Three buses equipped with my artificial intelligence (technology) are moving and working together, mutually calculating their routes hundreds of times per second and continuing to pick up and drop off residents of the city (which I inspected last month).

On a web map, of course.

"Cute little guys"

I am looking at them with smile.

My wife also looks at the moving icons and says they are cute, however I think that her viewpoint is different from mine.

I have just finished writing a column on a request from the editorial staff of EE Times Japan.

Well, I can do writing. Drawings can be made. I can manage to develop the reviews I get into a conversational style.

The problem is the illustration.

The time I spend on illustrations has become uncharacteristically long these days.

-----

I looked into the recent topic of "having an AI draw a picture".

I have looked it up on YouTube, etc., but it is something different.

In my case, I want a picture that matches the content of the column, so from the beginning, the concept, the characters I want, and the composition are clear.

There is no need for beautiful backgrounds or various color effects.

It can be just an illustration with line drawings and colors on it.

However, the illustration does not turn out the way I want it to.

It is very frustrating.

If I didn't have to be extravagant, I might be able to create (x draw) illustrations faster, but I want to be extravagant.

-----

Recently, a few young researchers have been showing up here and there to draw illustrations of light line drawings with a little bit of color in company documents.

The material with its line-drawing illustrations is terribly compelling.

I feel like an idiot for having worked so hard to describe the system configuration diagram.

-----

There is a crowdsourcing service online that will draw illustrations for you. Prices are generally reasonable.

I think you could ask the person who provides that service to create an illustration of my column, along with a draft of my column and my wishes.

However, I want to continue to make the illustrate of my columns with my own hands.
