2014-03-03 Disgust of me against human-clone is smaller than ordinary people expect.

When I wrote the column about human-clone, I think that

Disgust of ordinary people against human-clone is bigger that I expect.

Moreover,

Disgust of me against human-coke is smaller than ordinary people expect.

I was absorbed in thought, I noticed one reason recently.

-----

I make and save the PC software clones in order for the software backup regularly.

I have more than two PCs that have perfect same hardware specifications, so I can use the clone of a PC for other PC. When I have to reconstruct the operating system, I think that it is dreadful useful.

Other, when the PC is infected with virus or don't work for unknown case, I can recover the PC perfectly at the time of making the clone.

Anyway the PC clone is very useful.

Additionally, the PC that installs the clone, become to change from the original, because I will add and modify other software in the PC later.

-----

In conclusion,

I know well that even if the clone is generated, it is going to change to other easily at rapid paces.

The above is one of the reasons why the disgust of me against human-coke is smaller than ordinary people expect.

-----

I have a groundless self-confidence that if I generate a human-clone of mine, he is growing up as a person with an independent character.

Thought there is a possibility of whole my misunderstanding, of course, nobody might know what is going to happen in fact.

(As a matter of fact, it is impossible to make the human-clone because of a Japanese law.)

To tell you the truth, I understand that it is too extreme logic to compare the clone of PC with of human.


2015-03-03 Mathematics and numeral are kinds of essential tools, not to be tricked in your life.

(Continuation from yesterday)

The followings are impossible without the concept of quadratic equations.

- Estimation of surface area of a land with distance.

- Estimation of area within earshot when shouting.

- Concept of a danger of the person's body, killing oneself by jumping

Without exponential functions,

- Understand of whole serious problems with the declining birth rate and aging population.

To begin with, without trigonometric function, not to say,

- Building houses

and

- Making shelves by DIY

It should become a dangerous action.(hurt in falling objects)

-----

I had already told the following stories again and again,

When I was forced to join a kind of presentation about pyramid scheme, I crashed the orientation practically with talking "the business model you said now, become destroyed, if only you turn the cycles several times."

When I discussed a sale person for gas powered hot water heater, he run away before I asked him about my merits to exchange the gas machine with showing the calculation result about depreciation cost.

According to the solar panel, when the sale person told me about the incentive rule of Tokyo district, I asked him "Do you really believe in you mind, the rule is going to continue for more than 30 years ?" and I have never seen him after that.

Well, how to say,

Mathematics and numeral are kinds of essential tools, not to be tricked in your life.

(To be continued)


2016-03-03 "It is better than to tidy my vomiting that fully includes virus and bacteria"

(Continuation from yesterday)

About four in the early morning, I took a bath, but I felt cold and even in bathtub and goose pimples.

I sent a mail to the office to take a day off, and I concentrate sleeping after that.

I am a typical insomniac, however I know well that I have to sleep at any moment. So I take tranquilizer, sleeping pill and Japanese sake, and any other methods.

Though I don't think that it is a right way, sleeping is important to cure cold and I am glad if the suffering time becomes shorter.

-----

After all, I could recover from the cold for one day,thanks to the enforcement sleeping.

The fever has been in a day, so it was not the flu absolutely. I thought it might be my fatigue.

This morning, I squeezed miso-soup in the floor, during the breakfast, before leaving home.

That let me down deeply, though,

"It is better than to tidy my vomiting that fully includes virus and bacteria"

and I started to clean my room( and arrived at the office late)


2017-03-03 "Well, Momotaro was not needed at all"

I came in on that how an old couple in nursery story "Momotarou" was living in their life.

I am curious about a part of

"Grandpa goes to mount to mow, and Grandma goes to river to wash"

What is "mow"?

Grandpa worked as maintenance worker in gold course?

However, this correct answer seems to be "to gather firewood".

Grandpa was supposed to gather dead branches, to go downtown, and make a living.

The phrase of "Grandma goes to river to wash" has also doubts.

If she washed clothes for two people, I do not think that there are so much quantity.

To begin with, they were old with a small amount of metabolism, I think that dirty way was not too bad.

-----

However, grandpa, for example, who

was like a free-climbing player,

entered into secret bases in the mountains,

could get rare valuable dead branches with tremendous combustion energy

might be a "active and mussel grandpa", and

if grandma, for example, who

could plan the optimum strategy of laundry in advance,

coud perform laundry scheduling to satisfy overall optimization

might be an "intelligent grandma".

-----

If so, they should have be the strongest pair.

They may have been able to raid the Onigashima, and annihilate the demons, as a single unit.

"Well, Momotaro was not needed at all"

-----

I previously cooperated with making her original manga of my second daughter's work.

I'm thinking that selling "this story" to her, and imposing an illustration of my column on her.


2018-03-03 My propose is "smoking free period, based on Ramadan style".

(Continuation from yesterday)

This time, I want to propose "Ramadan".

"Ramadan" is a event for Moslem, they don't drink and eat anything from sunrise to sunset for a month.

This is a kind of case study of a sympathy for starving people. Some people might think that this event is full of hypocrisy, however, I believe,

This is a better wish than moralist who criticize and move off.

-----

My propose is "smoking free period, based on Ramadan style".

But it is difficult to find out a moral standpoint, so let it be enacted into law.

The purposes will be for health and anti-smoking.

Contents of implementation include totally non-smoking in Japan for about two weeks, and stopping of tobacco sales(There is criminal penalty provision). We may enter a subsidy system for informants.

-----

The media continues to watch politicians, entertainers, presidents of companies, etc. during that period. If there is an illegal act, I think that we can broadcast it extensively. It is good to lower the brand value exceptionally.

"President who can not even smoke for only two weeks ... Does this company have a future?"

"Law maker themselves are illegal?" This is really shit stick."

-----

However, what I want is difference from that.

Only anti-smoking for only two weeks makes it possible for smokers to fully understand the "violent smell of tobacco smoke".

I can tell you that, as an experienced person both in smoking and non-smoking.


2019-03-03 I am not so foolish , getting a talking from the adults who cannot use even a smartphone

(Continuation from yesterday)

It is only some major companies or IT ventures that business efficiency is advanced by IT. (It is doubtful whether it is "advanced").

the site of nursing care, construction is hopeless. The restaurant industry seems to deteriorate operational efficiency by using a customer service system with poor interface (My wife said)

-----

This is just my assumption.

I think that we (especially public officer) come to share the critical situation, "our nation will be really stuck in near future", "we will make us use IT devices, as the same level of R/W of kanji.

I fell really stuck now.

For example, I think

"Why should I go to the hall to work as a reservationist on Sunday early morning ?"

I also think "Make Web reservation system", "Use the Internet money transfer"

(Indeed I made a simple "Web reservation system" in about three hours)

If we want to realize "work style reform", we have to do the above even if in some small way.

-----

On the other hand, while working as the reservationist, I continued to monitor the age-group of applicants, and ask them "Do you use smartphone, PC and e-mail routinely? "

As the result, if I install the system aggressively, I was confident that the utilization ratio of the hall will dramatically decrease by 10%.

-----

I guess that the adults who say "the net is dangerous" have not use the net, and get the information of the net from the NHK news at 19:00.

If I add a despiteous assumption,

the adults who don't have any the net literacy, feel fear for children who will say

I am not so foolish , getting a talking from the adults who cannot use even a smartphone

I think so.


2020-03-03 "No specifications or instruction manual"

Recently, Raspberry Pi and its peripherals come to be broken.

-Messages are not output from the GPS module,

-I knew how to break the OS kernel 100% on reboot,

-I also encountered a case where the Raspberry Pi was “completely silent”

-----

"Once Raspberry Pi has been constructed and started up stably, it is rarely broken."

In fact, our home security server, Raspberry Pi, has been running for more than five years.

However, over the past six months, I continued to refurbish more than a dozen Rasppies in order to bring out their capabilities, I would encounter various failures.

I guess this is just a parameter issue. If the number is large, the rate of encountering failures naturally increases.

-----

Nevertheless, Raspberry Pi is very useful during the research phase.

After all, it is not certified as a PC, so it is easy to purchase even in the company.

If I make a new function and it fails, and if I have the backup in the SD card, I can easily return to the point before the failure (The time of writing for 32 GB SD card is less than 30 minutes).

And if you only have a copy of that SD card, Raspberry Pi with the same configuration will work reliably.

In particular, when transferring technology, it is very felpful for me to just pass on an SD card instead of creating specifications and setting manuals

(There are Vmware and Docker with the same concept, but I have never been able to run those virtual environments in one shot)

-----

"No specifications or instruction manual"

"I'll give you this SD card, so please read and understand the code directly."

"Any modifications in the SD card is allowed"

"The condition is "Never ask me anything""

Raspberry Pi, which enables such a technology transfer, is quite nice. Even if they often break down.


2021-03-03 "Teenagers' corona literacy is 'low' beyond our imagination"

(Continuation from yesterday)

Junior Daughter: "I'm more 'Corona literate' than most of my classmates because I'm thoroughly informed about Dad's new Corona.

Ebata: "But you go out with your friends quite often, don't you?

JD: "Well, it's my last month of high school.

E: "So, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your corona literacy in comparison to your classmates?

JD: "I think it's a nine."

All the family members who heard my junior daughter's story were surprised.

I have a fair amount of faith in my second daughter's ability to analyze situations, so I can qualify this value as "true".

If that's the case,

"Teenagers' corona literacy is 'low' beyond our imagination"

This possibility is 'high'.

However, I believe that most young people are taking proper measures to prevent infection.

I believe they are really more serious than the lowly old men who are talking loudly in restaurants.

However, there is no sense of "shadow of death" there at all.

-----

At this time, there have been zero deaths from the new coronavirus in young people under the age of 16, and they are not eligible for vaccination.

I think it's quite absurd to ask people to share their consciousness with "elderly people who live with the fear of death".

The situation would have been different if the virus had "equal mortality in all generations" and "concentrated on children.

If, like the so-called Spanish flu, it would have been the characteristics of "hitting infants directly" and "severe disease in young people" --

I don't think the word "loosening" would have been used in the declaration of the state of emergency this time.


2022-03-03 This impeachment trial of a "judge accused of repeatedly posting inappropriate posts on social networking sites" is the 10th case in the postwar period, and impeachment trials themselves seem to be extremely rare.

When we watched the news of "Judge Accused for Repeatedly Posting Inappropriate Posts on Social Networking Sites," my wife said,

Wife: "What happens when a judge commits a crime?"

Me: "What are you talking about? There will be an 'impeachment trial(*)'

(*) Article 64, Section 1 of the Constitution and the Act of Impeachment of Judges

When I said this, my wife and second said in unison.

"'Impeachment Trial' I remember. We did that in middle school when we were taking exams"

They spoke each other nostalgically.

Education is powerless -- and I realized that.

=====

Incidentally, an impeachment trial not only allows a judge to be removed from office (fired). The sanctions are severe.

In addition to losing their status as judges, they are disqualified from becoming prosecutors or attorneys, and are restricted from becoming notaries.

They cannot be mediators, judicial commissioners, or counsellors, are not entitled to retirement benefits, and their pensions are limited.

And since the impeachment court is a single and final instance, the judgment becomes final upon pronouncement and there is no way to appeal.

It seems that a request for a retrial can be made, but there have been no previous cases.

However, it seems that after five years, it is possible to regain the qualification to practice law -- "relief of needy life" and "improvement of character" were some of the reasons seen.

-----

The only thing I remembered about the impeachment trial was the "phony phone call" in the Lockheed case -- but I did a little research.

"Stalker"

"Child Prostitution"

"Video recording in skirt"

Some judges were impeached on the most vulgar grounds, like the above.

It seems that even if the judge is against you, you can still file a lawsuit in a general criminal or civil case.

However, it appears that the conviction of the trial court does not disqualify the judge.

The guarantee of a judge's status is very strong, and only through an impeachment trial can a judge be removed from office.

-----

This impeachment trial of a "judge accused of repeatedly posting inappropriate posts on social networking sites" is the 10th case in the postwar period, and impeachment trials themselves seem to be extremely rare.

Well, if it wasn't a rare case, we would be in trouble.


2023-03-03 "Researchers who do research using AI technology do not code AI technology on their own"

I have given a one-hour lecture on AI technology in English for international students.

Naturally, this is the first story I discussed at the beginning of this lecture.

This is what I have been saying and will continue to say.

That aside.

Before the lecture, I had a short talk with the students.

The contents are as follows.

(1) They usually don't do programming.

(2) When they use AI technology, they use packaged software.

(3) They only did "Pascal" in a lecture in college.

Frankly, I was quite shocked to hear the story.

"Researchers who do research using AI technology do not code AI technology on their own"

This is the same situation as in the country I belong to (Japan).

And now that I know that the same situation exists outside of Japan, I honestly can't believe it!

("Pascal"? That's a 30 year old paradigm. At the very least, they should be taught Python.)

-----

'How are they supposed to understand AI technology without tracing and debugging the programs in the first place?' I could not hide my shock.

I remembered having such a conversation with a junior colleague once -- "For them, the output of packaged software is the final solution, and they don't think beyond that(*)," he said.

(*) I could not find the page in my column If you find it, please let me know.

-----

Programming education in our country's compulsory education process is simply a waste of time."

This "apprehension" of mine has now risen to the level of "certainty".


2024-03-03 I spent until 4:00 this morning creating this bus operation table.

There are timetables for each bus stop (disclosed by each bus company).

There are also routes for each bus line (disclosed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism).

However, it is rare for a government or company to disclose this as an operation chart.

Some organizations are making them, but not in the area where I want them.

If that is the case, I have no choice but to create my own.

Well, it was annoying work.

I almost lost my temper last night and was writing a small program to make it easier.

However, this, too, is a hassle if you try to create a fully automated program, and bugs are sure to occur (such as different notations or strings in the program), so partial automation is more reliable.

If I wanted to make bus schedules for all the buses in Japan at once, I could write a fully automated program, but since my target was only six routes, such a program was not worth the time cost.

I spent until 4:00 this morning creating this bus operation table.

-----

So now that that is done, I am struggling to fix one part of the GIS database I created before.

If the GIS database were to be rebuilt from scratch, there would be a mismatch in node numbers in the current program, and the entire program would have to be rebuilt.

If this is an analogy,

"Work like making an incision in the brain and adding one of the brain's capillaries."

(No, it's not that great. Because no one's life is at stake.)

-----

Why am I keeping my diary when I don't have that much time?

Of course, they are escaping reality in the face of that brain surgery.
