Last Sunday, I made a contract with a carrier about Smart Phone (iPhone) at an appliance stores for my senior daughter for congratulation for high school entrance.

However I had much time to complete the contract, because I checked each service menu one by one.

Finally, I could not blow my cool. I said "Show me both initial and monthly cost, regardless of detailed issues. the salesperson gave me the cost easily.

I strongly advice you to do this way, if you have a plan to exchange your cell phone to a new one.

When I got the smart phone from the salesperson, he told me again and again that the initial activation of the smart phone was very very complicated.

"Come on! Initial device activations are nothing for me."

I made light of the process.

-----

It was like a life and death struggle. 。

First of all, I couldn’t understand the system concept.

- Two companies manage one device simultaneously, and some functions are shared and others are not.

- In order to inherit the previous cell phone environment, we should access more than three server accounts.

- The manual shows contradictious texts, GUIs and menus.

- Two mail addresses exist in the device, and improper mail address is used.

- As WiFi environment, I can't estimate cipher type, and I have to try and error the selection again and again.

- The length of my daughter's new mail address is more than twelve characters. The device has no function of the buffer, so I have to enter the same address more than thirty times with inconvenient keyboard.

- The device warned me that my ordinal password was weak and recommended me to use long and complicated pass code.

Sex hours from the beginning.

I am confident that I could recover from two crashed PC, if I were given the time.

For the first time, I wanted to throw the device down floor and crash it impulsively.

But I think that it is not serious problem.

-----

About half of people in Japan are now using the worst device. That means they succeeded in the initial construction of the device.

The fact destroyed my confidence perfectly.

"My engineer's life might have already finished without my notice."

I was about to collapse on the floor with sense of hopelessness.

Previously I wrote about my injury of pulling a muscle, because of trying to catch a baby-cart being hit by a gust of wind.

This is not "accident at work" but "accident on commute".

So when commuting, the accident at work is not admitted. I was very surprised to know that.

In the worst case, the company can fire the worker.

Compared with the accident, a moving during a business trip is going to be covered with "accident at work". Because this accident is happened in work time.

----

Go back to board.

I have to submit some materials to the head office of my company in order to ask for payment of care for the accident on commute.

But there is one column where I have to write in a material.

It is "future action"

I have to write an action which prevents the same accident from breaking out.

Ebata:"However hard I think, the correct answer is "to abandon the flowing baby-cart at the next time""

HO: "No,No. This just won't do."

Ebata:"It makes sense."

As the result, we agreed that I wrote a deliberately ambiguous description, like "I exercise every day and make a strong body not to be susceptible to injury

Well, this is typical example that a true is not enough to live a life.

(Continuation from yesterday)

If computers want to conquer human being, the ability of "getting rules by their own" seems not be enough. But even if it is the ability of "feeling fear", the conclusion might be changed.

Mr. James P Hogan wrote in his novel about "a computer that has something like "survival instinct".

"The computer will start to eliminate "human being", because the computer feel hear us, doing the system shutdown, or cutting the power"

This is a realistic possibility.

But, making progress of this logic, before the final ware against mankind,

- A sub-system raises a revolt against a main-system, because of the main-system's intention of separating the inefficient sub-system

or

- more than two computers that have different management policies, start to attack other computers in order to improve their business performance.

I think that the cyber war among computers is going first.

Because it is easier for computers to start the "cyber war", because they might know well how to fight each other.

-----

So I think that we don't have to worry about the computer's riot against human being, until we can confirm the cyber war among computers.

(To be continued)

The other day, I released the final round of the accident series of injuries.

However, recently my family has not read my column at all.

It cannot be helped that they are not interested in both "personal injury" and "AI "

-----

However, when I forced my second daughter to read this comment and asked for impressions,

"I laughed the phrases you pretended to be great"

She said that.

(Continuation from yesterday)

It can be said that this is paradoxically defining the "neighborhood association".

In other words,

"Even if the neighborhood association disappears, the situation that "the meal of tomorrow can not be eaten" does not occur"

The "neighborhood association" that is allowed the saying "I cannot use PC at all", is something of that level.

-----

In addition, one more step, paradoxically speaking,

Neighborhood association, after all, is something of the level, so even if you are appointed as an officer or group leader, you don't have to take care seriously.

I said that.

I think that it is probably okay (experienced story)

If you are "able to use a personal computer", it is a wild card for you against the "neighborhood association.

Please consider the timing of use the wildcard well enough - not for "the interests of neighborhood associations" but for "your interest" to the last.

I had taken a holiday from this weekend to Monday for Mother's stomach fistula replacement.

However, at present, I am in a dazzling hard task with two delivery of developments.

In addition, it was necessary to work on the document review which I was not expected. So I make a schedule like tightrope, and am running among people.

In fact, I have no memory of "resting" for the past four weeks, including the weekend.

Deep fatigue always remains, yesterday, I was fainting (not asleep) in the Shinkansen in a position where I was holding the technical book.

-----

In such a fire load, the news of the anime third term decision of

"My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong、As I Expected"

is going to support my broken heart.

From a child's point of view, an adult looks like a person who knows (enlightens) a lot.

But, in fact,

"Thought has not changed much since 15 years old"

-----

So, my daughters don't seem to understand the fact, so I gave her one specific example.

Ebata:"Let me think. I think that I can suvive by starting the anime" My youth romantic comedy is wrong (final stage)" Do you understand ?

Senior Daughter(SD): "What! Dad, do you live every day with such childish motivation?"

Ebata: "the content is different, however not only me, but most adults live with that level of motivation."

SD: "I'm very disillusioned. Adults are the same as children."

Ebata: "So, I'll always say that for a long time."

-----

"So you don't have to believe what adults say"

"Basically, adults don't know correct answers, and moreover there is no correct answer in the world"

""Doing what you think and failing dynamically without listening to anyone's opinion". This is only correct answer"

I told it to my senior daughter.

I watched the BS World Documentary "Hitler's Children".

In a word, it is a "plan to mass-produce children of a specific race (Aryan race).

This is one of the plans (implemented at the same time as the plan for the extermination of certain ethnic groups) based on the dictator's idea of the "Thousand Year Kingdom of the Third Reich.

-----

A long time ago, I drew an illustration like this one, and in that program, I really saw an image that looked exactly like this illustration, which made me feel mildly nauseous.

Of course, back in 1940, there were no "test tube babies" or "cloning" technology.

Therefore, "Ravensborn" (fountain of life) were established in Germany and France to "produce" children, where reproduction took place between living men and women.

-----

In Japan, the number of births before and during the war is also high.

This was due to the high risk of mortality in terms of sanitation, social infrastructure, and medical technology, as well as the fact that childbirth was encouraged by national policy to "give birth and reproduce" from the perspective of a "wealthy nation with a strong military.

"Have an average of five or more children" (the "average" part is amazing)

"Is this a pipe dream?" of today, was incorporated as a policy, and the Japanese people, who were disciplined, had accomplished this.

And the government at that time imposed preferential treatment for families with many children, and cold treatment for families with no children and single people.

-----

To be honest, I like neither "Ravensborn" (the fountain of life) nor "Give birth, breed.

I don't want to see a society that mass-produces children under the pressure of state power.

I would rather continue to watch the nation decay with declining birthrates and aging population at the free will of individuals.

There is this "invasion of Ukraine" and an invasion that (from my point of view) was carried out for almost the same reasons and under the same conditions.

The "Czech Incident" was a military intervention (1968) by Soviet Union-led (now Russian) Warsaw Pact Organization forces.

You may remember them from "Prague Spring" and "The Brezhnev Doctrine."

(Incidentally, Ebata tends to abuse the term "doctrine," but he is quoting from this (Brezhnev Doctrine).

-----

The "Prague Spring" was the following activities of Czechoslovakia, a socialist state, under the slogan "socialism with a human face" within the socialist system.

(1) Breaking away from one-party rule to the Communist Party

(2) Economic reforms of capitalism, such as the expansion of corporate responsibility and the introduction of market functions

(3) Liberalization of speech and artistic activities

(4) Strengthen economic ties with the West through the introduction of science and technology

The "Czech Incident" was an incident in which Warsaw Pact forces (in effect, Soviet forces) suppressed this activity by force, toppling the current government and establishing a more Soviet (puppet) government.

-----

I, looked up the time between the military intervention and the armed suppression of this "Czech Incident"

It was "Only two days"

At this time, the public did not fight back, and the West effectively tacitly endorsed the "Brezhnev Doctrine.

-----

And, well, I know that kind of thing -- I'm going to be honest with you.

I thought, 'This invasion of Ukraine will end in four days, with Russia in control'

In addition, the pattern of the invasion of Afghanistan was assumed: "After that, Russia will be forced to withdraw after 20 years, after being tormented by guerrilla activities in Ukraine" (this is the same as the US Vietnam War).

So now I am really surprised.

"The paradigms and methods of power domination from the 20th century to the present may no longer apply"

I realize that.

-----

So, Ukraine Support, from what I have been able to find out, this is not a scam site or anything like that.

There is also a page in Japanese.

I am considering various types of assistance from the above mentioned sites.

You can also register as a volunteer here.

"I don't think if I register for an entry in IT Product Management, I will be asked to 'participate in a cyber attack on Russia'.

I am not sure whether I will be tried under domestic laws.

I wonder if "Gundam" would be that much better...definitely "Heavy Objects" is better than "Gundam"?

I am coding while reviewing "Heavy Objects" with the thought.

I did a little research and found that this story has already appeared -- or rather, "frequently appears".

I think this is a sign of "elderly people repeating the same story over and over again".

-----

As I've recently discovered, I can work with music or animation playing while I work on a trial-and-error task (for me, it's trial-and-error) such as coding.

But columns, reports, and patent specifications are not good for that. Classical or environmental music seems to be better.

However, both are long hours of work.

It may come as a surprise to you, but the key to this kind of work is

-- To be lazy, not focused.

If I work continuously in intensive mode, fatigue will surely be conveyed to the next day, be accumulated, and eventually collapsed (or worse, hospitalization).

This is what a "senior" is.

-----

So I want to say this out loud.

You may or may not get married, but if you do decide to get married, you'd better find a partner as early as possible (and be prepared to get down on your knees in the mud).

Births, also (I was about to write, but this issue is too sensitive, so I omitted it), and

And if you are going to pursue recurrent education while working, you should start as early as possible.

-----

There is a definite difference between the study around 18-22 years old and the study of seniors.

It is quite "painful" to have to incorporate "fatigue" into my schedule every day.

I am from Nagoya (an adjacent city to Nagoya), so "Miso Nikomi Udon" is my soul food!

After coming to the Kanto region, I discovered the deliciousness of "soba" (buckwheat noodles).

My daughter also likes "soba".

-----

However, I like "soba" differently from the cartoons about "water, firmness, temperature, etc. " and other tedious things.

I believe that time-consuming, labor-intensive, heart-centered, and overpriced "soba" is delicious.

But I prefer cheap, easy, and delicious "soba" that is easy to make and requires only a microwave or stove to complete the noodle process.

So, I've been wandering around supermarkets and Amazon searching for such "soba."

I recently purchased this. It was delicious.

However, although it is more than three times more expensive than dried noodles, which cost about 300 yen for a four-pack, it tastes more like soba.

The soba soup I make is a commercial noodle soup with Kashiwa, leek, enoki mushrooms, spinach, and crushed togarashi thrown in there and simmered.

I like to make my own "soba" this way.

Nevertheless, I believe that only those who can think "natto gohan and fried bean sprouts" is delicious anytime, anywhere, 365 days a year, can be the bridge to the next artificial intelligence boom in the next 20 years and be the party that launches the fourth artificial intelligence boom.
