After finishing a morning meeting, I heard a new of 40cm fall of snow around my neighborhood, and I decided to go home as soon as possible and worked at home.

Today's snowfall is not only awful, enormous but also accuracy. That means the timing of falling is perfect. The amount of snow cover is in direct proportion to time.

This snow is something frightening

Recently, this area is under a curse isn't it.

-----

When I wait for a train at station on my way home, a man is talking by cell.

A train has not come here for more than 40 min. I am really in trouble.

"Hey,hey my brother. Telling a lie is not good"

Certainly, all express were out of service and the diagrams were also broken, but I found a train pull out two minutes ago.

Though there are few chance, the change is going to decide the direction of our life --- Entrance examination.

In order to take the examination, we have to study hard for a long time, increase our academic ability. And another thing, we also have to maintain bodily functions at the last days.

Above all, I have to arrive at the place of the examination to take it.

What I am going to do as a guardian is only "take my daughter as an examinee to the place in good condition"

-----

As the examination day approached, my strain gradually increased.

The first pending problem I thought was "snow".

The public transportation system in Kanto-area is very weak against snow. The system become broken easier by a few centimeters deep.

However, a weather forecast will help us to prepare to some extent.

It is "accident resulting in injury or death", that I can never control.

I cannot predict when and where the accident happens, and estimate the extent of the impact in real time.

Even if we start the departure earlier, there is no guarantee to get the evasion route immediately.

In addition, most examination schools decide the deadline against both natural and man-made disaster in advance, and don't consider the scale of the accident.

The limit time is almost 30 minutes, that means to be able to let them put in the place, not to shift the time table of the examination.

In short, they say "try to solve a test for 60 min. for only 30 min."

Most examination schools is supposed to handle with saying

"Bad luck"

against the above accidents.

-----

There is no reason that any examiner and the guardian who have been working for the examination seriously, can understand the words "bad luck".

On the other hand, I also understand that examination schools cannot consider each private reason of all of the examinee.

So, making and executing operations in order to take the examinee to the examination place at any cost is a guardian's duty.

-----

This operation started when I competed twelves A4-size papers that had been printed by Google MAP site.

It is two weeks ago of the examination day.

(To be continued)

The other day, in the wholesale supermarket, I bought and tried , not "local beer" "local sake", but "local whiskey in Japan", I thought

"It is good isn't it?"

Of course, there are a lot of tasty whiskey in the market, however, I think that the taste is better than of famous domestic manufacturer in the same price range.

I think started that my strategy of "cheap and delicious" is in low-profile domestic manufacturers.

So, I am beginning to examine the domestic local whiskey.

-----

Anyway, I can understand "a thing", during living half century,

"In the hotel's top floor of the bar, I tip the glass of bourbon alone"

I am going to be hopeless about the above scene in the rest of my life.

"Crawling under the floor" will be just good for me.

Well, decent, fun.

I am in my family's overseas trip for the first time in five years.

It is probably the last time in my life that having a radius of 10 meters with my family for over 100 hours -

I thought.

during travels five years ago and ten years ago.

Also, even if all the family members can travel,

"Journey while being guided by their daughters, scolded while being hurried"

I thought.

"Why am I walking ahead still now ?"

"with doing time control and interpreter"

-----

Ebata:"Hey! It is different from my long-term plan"

My eldest daughter: "Daddy is wrong. If you become not to move, we start to move"

Wife: "Why don't you make a terrible mistake ? For example, mistaking the destination, or incorrect estimate of travel time"

Indeed, that is a point.

-----

However, with a wake-up call to the front desk, when I hear my junior daughter's English, like

"Tentatively, repeating "Yes" beyond the spot"

I try to cut into a conversation instinctively.

(Continuation from yesterday)

By the way, there is worth listening to a story that retired or terminal people said

"I should not have worked harder, while be working"

We have already experimented on the several scenes in my life.

Especially we adults, know well that

"There is no meaningless relationships with friends of teenage era in our life"

However we, as working people, cannot say

"There is no meaningless hierarchical relation in our company"

We can forecast the future after our retire, but we cannot act to ignore the hierarchical relation because of worry and fear.

-----

In conclusion, we can "take our life easy" but we don't have courage to "take our life easy" in a specific field and time.

After all, I think that we will

"regret our extreme worry and fear, at the time of retirement or end-of-life"

The day before yesterday, I wrote about the movie "Sage of Tanya The Evil".

Recently, the animation characters have come to pay attentions to watching a movie(prohibition of smartphone and whisper, e.g.) before the movie.

In the attention, "Call an officer if you are in trouble with a stranger. Prohibit to appeal to force" and Tanya, as the heroin, said

"Violence is an exclusive matter of the state"

(I forgot the exact phrase)

-----

Many people don't seem to know a fight with violence is an illegal act of "battle prohibited" for any reason, date, place, object, and whatever reason (with some exceptions such as legitimate defense ).

In that sense, many creations, including juvenile jumps such as "Shounen Jump" show enormous depictions of illegal act.

So even in juvenile magazines, where fighting scenes come in, for example, outside the frame,

"This is fiction.

Quarrels are illegal acts under the Penal Code (battle crimes) and may be imprisonment with a term of not more than 5 years.

If you kill a person, it becomes murder crime / injury crime.

Also it will be subject to damages based on tort law on Civil Code 709"

I expect that Japan's law-abiding spirit will increase by this one line (though it is long), small letters are O.K. (Even it ruins atmosphere).

Well, I think that it is handling similar to cigarette package display (health damage), so it is not so bad.

In the late 1980s, POP music which title is "quit fights" became popular. I think that the song was an enlightenment activity to prevent illegal acts.

-----

In any case, we individuals are forced to transfer the right to violence to the state (compulsively).

Therefore, if we exercise violence for private reasons, we will be subject to arrest without question. Because we are just an individual without legal capacity.

And the SDF and the police, which are said to have the right ability, the content of the violences are decided precisely according to the situation.

Exercise of unrestricted violence is not permitted (as publicity).

-----

Well, even so, I was deeply moved with thinking

"At the beginning of an animated movie the story of 'violence device' comes out.

I consistently say, about the saying of "Efforts excel at genius"

"How stupid you are!"

I will keep saying it.

Effort cannot compete with "genius".

I think that there is no problem to say that the idiot saying, "Efforts excel at genius" maybe "lazy" who stayed in a narrow world and never looked at the world

I looked into those who were saying such ridiculous things. "Teachers" and "athletes" seem to be more. Indeed, not all humans are such humans, but the ratio of "native" is likely to be high.

-----

On the other hand, when asked, "Is a genius happy?" I cannot answer it.

This story must go back to the question of what happiness is, as a premise.

Still, as far as I've seen, "the person I've identified as a genius" generally doesn't seem happy.

She/He can see what people cannot see.

She/He can know what people cannot know.

These make them lonely

She/He cannot inform others therir thought.

These will stress them

And many people do not find value in "incomprehensible talent".

The "incomprehensible talent" cannot spread to the world because there is no intermediary.

It means,

"Influenza disease with a lethal rate of" 100% "and a transmission rate of" 0% ""

is good example, I think.

(To be continued)

"How many times have I reimplemented GA (Genetic Algorithm) in a different language?"

I've been thinking about this while debugging.

I think the first time I made it, it was in "Pascal".

Next, I think it was "C".

And, I think I've done that in "python2 as well.

Furthermore, I remember implementing it in "C++" as well.

It's "Go".

It goes far beyond the "redevelopment of the wheel" dimension.

-----

I am no longer multi-lingual. It's a programming language.

Why is it that I've been with so many languages, but only the language "English" doesn't love me?

I seriously think it's "unreasonable".

-----

"GA" is really useful.

If I just define the design of the gene (or chromosome) and the evaluation function, it will quickly give me the best solution while I am taking a bath.

However, it is very difficult to design genes that prevent the generation of lethal genes.

I am not happy with the fact that even with the ordered expression method we are using now, half of the parental genetic traits will be completely destroyed.

The "AI boom" seems to be coming to the end, and there are only two technologies (deep learning and reinforcement learning) that I truly appreciate in this boom.

However, I am hoping that the new genetic design method of GA will be released, and I'm hoping that the new GA will "lightly beat" these two technologies.

-----

In any case, I don't want to call "GA" like such frivolous terms as "Artificial Intelligence".

The advantage of IT-based digital services is that they are relatively easy to start, even if the scale of the business is small.

After all, the fact that the equipment is an "immaterial program" is a big advantage.

Depending on the nature of the service, a single person can operate the service (one-person operation).

-----

Programs are like free, except for the development and maintenance costs, and computers can be kept quite inexpensive by using a cloud like AWS.

Cyber attacks are a concern.

Although we must be especially careful about the leakage of customer information, a small service system has the advantage of having only a small amount of information to manage.

-----

In such a small-scale IT system, the bottleneck is always "labor cost".

The profit that comes from the services of a small system is like the small change that goes into the money box of a shrine, except on the three New Year's days.

If the minimum wage of 1,041 yen per hour is deducted from this amount, there is no way that service can be established.

Most of the unattended (near-unattended) IT services are now free services, and they are making a small profit from advertising revenue -- I don't think the web-based market is promising.

-----

I'm wondering if it's possible to create an IT service that allows for one-operation -- as a post-retirement start-up.

Internet banks, for example, default to chatting with customers, that is even not perfect one-person operations, though.

This time, when I had a chat conversation with a NetBank, the response speed clearly made me think that I was chatting with several customers at the same time.

Even so, just the fact that there was a link to the conversation gave me a sense of security.

It's much better than a call center that can't be connected forever.

-----

I, am considering a one-operation operation for buses, cabs, and, if possible, trains.

If I work with a computer, I think I can manage the operation of about 1,000 buses and cabs, or manage reservations, with just one operator.

Actually, this was influenced by Marginal Operations by Yuri Shibamura.

The protagonist of this novel looks at a computer equipped with a GIS system and gives instructions via a terminal to 1000 children who move as combatants on the battlefield.

Of course, this is a novel, and I don't think such tactical operations are possible in the real world, but it still makes me think, "What if?

Since "battles" do not occur in bus, cab, and train operation management and reservation management, the operational load should be much smaller.

As an operator, my job would be to deal with traffic jams, flat tires, engine trouble, personal injury, etc.

However, on a day when it snows in the city center, it may require a very difficult operating experience.

-----

I also think that if I am going to provide this kind of service, I need to create the entire service system "on our own".

This is because, frankly speaking, when a system failure occurs, the only person who can quickly fix it and resume service is the creator of the system.

If I think about it -- if the operator of the service is the developer of the service system, I think that small-scale one-operation IT services are well within the scope.

I recently reviewed the movies "Hakkoudasan" and "Nihyaku san Kochi" and marveled at what a great movie they are.

The power of the analog live action, as well as the blood-curdling performances of the exhausted actors and extras, probably under the poor conditions of the location, are honestly 'scary'.

I wonder if the reason why movies these days are not as interesting as they used to be is because of the digitalization of images.

-- is one hypothesis.

However, I have another hypothesis.

It is, 'I am simply brainwashed by the images I am familiar with from my youth.

-----

There was a celebrity who said, "007 other than Shon Connery is scum," but I think "Roger Moore's 007" is more interesting.

Also, when I went back home, my father tried to show me halid films from the 1950s and 1960s, but I never found them interesting.

"The memories (of films) imprinted on a person, especially during his or her impressionable years, become the standard of value thereafter", in other words, "slip-in".

It is common for people to say, "What I consider to be the best thing for me is out of the question for others".

-----

I don't know if my grandchildren will exist 20 years from now -- but I get nervous thinking about what they will think of "Steins;Gate" when I show it to them.

If my grandson says 'that's great' I will probably give him a lot of New Year's money.

North Korea has repeatedly conducted missile launch tests.

The experiment has been criticized internationally (more precisely, by the Western camp of UN member states).

But from a missile development engineer's point of view -- "the more tests, the better.

Technological development is the accumulation of failures because they become so valuable that money cannot replace them.

-----

And it occurred to me that every time I see such images of the vast amount of weapons now being used in Ukraine and Russia, I wonder.

"Where on earth are these weapons being tested?"

There is no way to manufacture weapons without experimentation.

Of course, indoor testing and computerized silation are possible, but ultimately, a weapon's reliability cannot be measured without field (outdoor) testing.

Of course, there will be accidents of malfunctioning weapons that are not in the news, but such weapons will lose their market value.

Weapons, as products, must be able to operate according to specifications.

-----

By the way, the current administration is quickly accomplishing what previous administrations wanted to do but just couldn't.

The "Three Principles on Defense Equipment Transfer" is one of them.

I'm unfamiliar with defense law, but this is similar to the "indirect infringement" analogy in patent law terms (which may be even more confusing).

So, if the development of a continental ballistic missile for export is publicly approved in our country, I wonder, 'Where is our country going to field test that missile?

In our country, which has a world-class peace constitution, I believe and would like to believe that some people would be uncomfortable with such a story.

But perhaps we should all be gutted by now.
