I said “If you want to marry, you should do it earlier" in the car from my hometown,

my daughters who are the 9th and 5th got angry with me with saying "Stop pestering us!"

-----

The father who express the marriage possibility numerically and ovum ageing against pregnancy in detail,

is more incomparably annoying than the other fathers who repeat "When do you marry?"

I can agree to my daughters minds.

Yesterday, I watched a NHK New Year special program "Next world" a little.

From the last year, though I have watched the programs of "Big Data" "Super Computer", "Artificial Intelligent (AI), I always thought

"Is that really?"

"This story is not about technology, for example, Big Data, AI. Some (stupid) person had not noticed the data trend, and this time they finally noticed that luckily. "

I have stopped speaking above phrases since last year,

Nothing is uglier than an engineer who knows some technologies and talk about them.

I also know that.

-----

But,

I wonder why the futurology drama that NHK makes becomes "stereo type".

I think that NHK wants to make a drama of the social menace that computers control us, but in my opinion,

"How soon computers control our society?"

I want computers to say that "Control us as soon as possible", and I illiterate the computer's low-performance.

If AI is really useful, I hope that AI works for politics and diplomacy.

At least one future of "we choose one artificial intelligence among plural artificial intelligence by national election" should be designed.

I want to hear a street speech of the artificial intelligence.

I don't care about the avatar. Hatsune Miku or others are O.K.

-----

If NHK spend money on this futurology drama, it become very good to ask the production company that produced "the PSYCHO-PASS to make an animation program.

I believe that

"Sibyl System" is all right.

At the high-way service area on the way to home from my country home,

when I said "I am going to buy a souvenir for my company members", all of my family gasped in surprise.

"You buy a souvenir for company?"

"You said that that the souvenir for company is bad habit in Japanese society, because it is a symbol of qualm against private vacations, so we should stop this bad habit"

"To begin with, I don't believe that you have coworkers who can give you or can be taken a souvenir in your company"

I could understand how my family looked at me in my office.

-----

Ebata:"In short, I am tired of this resistance movement. Because the grass-root movement have not been spread out at all"

Wife:"You have not receive any souvenir from your coworkers, have you? "

Ebata:"I have received all of them naturally"

Wife:"It is paradox"

(To be continued)

I hate disrespectful comments against my works, and

Even if you think "absolutely unforgivable", I will specify the person and fight thoroughly with that person, not only on the net,but also to draw the person to the real world.

Although it is rare, there is a disrespectful comment that makes me happy.

-----

Last year, I wrote a column whose title is "We don't need the AI that plays GO and looks for pictures of cats."

For this column, there was a person who gave a comment,

"This column is a plot of "dog faction" in "anti-cat faction"

I will present you "Best Dis Comment Award" in 2016.

(Continuation from yesterday)

"All adults are enemies against all children who tell their dream"

This is a correct social figure.

-----

When I was a adult, I knew the importance of "No listening to other's talk"

After keeping my eye open for "No listening to other's talk", I believe I could start to translate my dream into action, even if the dream is small.

In addition, I knew that the worst enemy was the Internet communication to interfere in "No listening to other's talk".

For persons who cannot have their dream in the closed universe, a "creator" in dreamers is an outlet for malevolencet .

In the Internet, they are trying to interfere with you, if you are a creator, with Twitter, Line, Facebook, and other bulletin boards, giving the appearance that reviewers or critics.

-----

From an opposite direction,

if you want to create something new,

any person who doesn't / cannot create things, is going to be your enemy.

(Continuation from yesterday)

So, in my case, I will start taking the same response as my daughter who works for cabaret clubs, so-called "Sasashiso" strategy.

(1) Sa: "You are great, are not you?"

(2):Shi: "I did not know that"

(3): "It's amazing, is not it?"

(4) Se: "I might as well."

(5) So: "Is that so?"

-----

However, if I were taken such correspondence, I think that I could notice that.

"Persons who are you going to cabaret club, are bad head aren't they ?"

I thought it, however, when I search by the phrase of "psychology of people going to cabaret club" by a search engine, it seems to be a "discounting" entertainment.

I know that cabaret club is more like "counseling" rather than "entertaining customs".

It seems to be correct to grasp as "cabaret club = outpatient for psychosomatic medical".

If so, it may be said that it is a medical institution with excellent cost performance.

However, in my case, I want to say

"There is no reason to make me a counselor volunteer for psychosomatic medical"

(To be continued)

Now, after returning home, I am on the Shinkansen on my way home.

This year, I was planning to return to my home on December 31st, but two days before I checked my seat reservation with an internet application(Smart EX), it was hopeless.

Well, since I can make a reservation one month ago, I know that I'm bad because I've been lazy.

As a test, I checked around 21:00 on December 30, and found that there were many vacant seats.

I had a reservation for the Shinkansen in time.

Shin-Yokohama Station was also quiet, as I have never seen before.

Even if "homecoming rush", late at night, seats may be vacant." I was stunned by the exaggerated press of the media. At that time.

-----

So, The day after New Year's Day.

I thought, "I would have no problem getting a seat on the Shinkansen when returning from home late at night"

―― From early morning till late night, no seat of Shinkansen

It was a miserable situation that there was no extra seat.

In a hurry, I drove to the nearest JR station.

Because I know that trains had a "seat distribution".

-----

By the way,

In Japan, the number of people who cannot use internet reservations is quite large.

If all seats can be reserved with "Smart EX"-

All ticket vending machines and ticket sales counters have been eliminated, and these people will no longer be able to take the Shinkansen.

There is no doubt about this trend.

Railroad companies want to reduce, and eventually abolish, ticket sales services, which involve labor and maintenance costs.

However, even if I can use smartphones now, I will definitely not be able to use them in the near future.

Even if I don't have dementia, I can't use devices because of deterioration of vision, touch, and motor nerves due to aging.

So, I'm in trouble with "a society where everything is made up of smartphones".

Now, let's move on the next topic.

-----

At the station of JR, I asked the person at the counter

"January 4, anytime, any seat to Shin-Yokohama is O.K."

This is an absolutely impossible request by a smartphone.

At this stage, the human operation of "cancellation that appears in seconds in real time" is more effective.

Fortunately, in the second trial, I was able to get hold of the cancellation seat that happened to appear.

At such times (only), I realize that Internet services (only) are not absolute.

The three New Year's days have passed, and parent team of the Ebata is now in normal operation.

This year, the Ebata family will be spending the year-end and New Year holidays together for the first time in a long time.

In addition to the acrylic partitions on the table that I introduced before, we have added another tip to prevent household infections.

Bring a camping table into the living room, and putting Osechi (New Year's Eve) food, hot pot, and hand-rolled sushi on a plate, and bring it to out seats at the table,

"buffet-style"

has been installed.

Needless to say, I prepared different chopsticks for each food.

I felt a little "unsettled", but this was quite a fun "extraordinary" experience.

-----

Maybe not even "extraordinary"

For the time being, the acrylic partition and the buffet table will not be removed from the living room, I think, sighing as I watch the news(*).

(*) Today, a notice was issued declaring a state of emergency in the Kanto area in response to the new corona infection.

-----

The reason why I have been trying to prevent domestic infections so far is

- It is definitely the "daughters" who carry the virus without any subjective symptoms of infection.

- If I become infected, sick, serious, and at worst, die, my daughters will suffer for the rest of their lives, blaming themselves for "dying their parents."

It doesn't matter whether or not.

I'm not very interested in that. It's a problem for the daughters.

-----

My motivation is just "fear of pain".

If the new corona becomes ill and becomes serious, I know that

- the fact that it is not easy to die and that the process of death is "severe"

Even if it heals, it means that the pain of the aftereffects is also terrible.

In the first place, viral infections are like that.

------

I'm not the kind of person who can say, "If I got it from my family, I don't have a choice.

After the three New Year's days, today is the first day of work.

Today in the Ebata household, I'm the only one who works from home.

Except for a trip back home to support my mother's transfer to the hospital at the end of the year, the extent of my travel during this vacation season was

(1) Walking to and from a super public bath located 15 minutes away (only once)

(2) New Year's visit to a nearby shrine with my wife.

(3) Walking around town (4.5km) with watching downloaded NetFlix movies on my iPad (daily) to get rid of lack of exercise.

This was a perfect example of local behavior.

But I didn't feel like I was "bored" -- I was in front of the computer all the time, struggling with papers and programs (Golang).

-----

I am planning to start a new series this month.

The theme is "A New Theory of Action for 'Engineers Who are not be Loved by Money'".

I look forward to working with you again this year.

"The performance of a personal computer (PC) today is the same as that of a supercomputer 20 years ago"

After hearing the story, I did some calculations.

- After 2000, the performance difference between PCs and supercomputers have been roughly 10,000 times

- Moore's Law "doubles performance in 18 months."

Given that from the information,

Solve 2^(x/1.5) = 10000.

x = 19.93 years

I see, 'We are all using 20-year-old supercomputers'.

In other words, in theory, as of 2003, weather forecasts and earthquake prediction calculations that were being calculated on supercomputers can be done in your own room.

From my point of view, 'I just have to wait for 20 years'.

Conversely, the cost of development and investment in supercomputers (about 130 billion yen, not including maintenance costs) is in this '20-year leading'.

I don't know what you all think, but I think the cost is generally reasonable.

I watched NHK's "Heian Period Summit 2024: Was it really "Heian"?

It's a so-called "promotion program" for this year's history drama, but it was interesting.

This time, I received three of them.

-----

(1) "Curses in the Heian period and social networking sites today are the same."

I thought, "That's a supreme word.

Social networking slander is not a physical attack, yet it has the power to kill.

What shall we call this without calling it a curse?

After all, it is better to stay away from social networking sites.

(2) "It is already common knowledge that Hikaru Genji is a scumbag.

Yeah, now, this is no longer debatable, the guy is a scumbag.

(3) "If you replace "Hikaru Genji" with "fave", we can recognize its existence.

I know this "fave," but I don't know what the above phrase means, so I asked my wife.

Me: "Does this mean you don't care if he's a bum as long as he's your "fave" that you support?"

Wife: "Right." A "fave" is someone who is allowed to do whatever he wants."

I still didn't understand it well, but I did understand that "fave" is scary.

-----

I am still wondering about the question,

Why did The Tale of Genji escape censorship and a publication ban?"

Because that story is a parade of disrespect to the imperial family.

I don't know if there was a crime of disrespect at the time, but I don't think it was when disrespect for the royal family was tolerated.

How could he get the wife (Fujitsubo) of the emperor (Kiritsubo) pregnant and then become the child's guardian? I am tempted to say, "What kind of "mendicancy" is this?

-----

Furthermore, I don't understand that Emperor Ichijo was a "lover of the Tale of Genji."

(The explanation of the relationship between Emperor Ichijo and the Fujiwara clan will be cut (please Google)).

Even though it was fiction, did Emperor Ichijo ever think that his family lineage was being insulted in the greatest possible way?

I am unsure I understand this part very well, so I would be glad if someone familiar with "Tale of Genji Literature" could explain it.

-----

By the way, there is one interpretation that answers my question above. That means,

"The Tale of Genji was an otherworldly fantasy of its time."

Or, it is a parallel worldline interpretation that the real world (alpha worldline) was similar to another world (beta worldline).

Here, I would like to propose a new interpretation of

"The Tale of Genji ≒ Steins;Gate."
