The other day,

I wrote an experimental report of VOCALOID "Yuzuki Yukari"

"An angel is singing"

I sent state-of-the art praise to the software package.

-----

Four years ago, I made a text file for rote exercise of social studies of junior high school entrance examination, and made voice files by free reading aloud software.

After that, I burn them to CD and record them to POD and made my daughter learn by heart.

I also used the software for my examinations.

-----

This year, the junior daughter's turn is coming, so I have to make the voice files again. But I exchange old PC with new one, and I perfectly forgot how to install the software.

Only that I remembered that I annoyed the install process. I had to waste much time.

The voice that was made by the software was a funny intonation, and there were a lot of reading mistakes. So I had to change Kanji to Hiragana again and again,

-----

"I don't want to do same process again"

So I decided to buy time for money.

So I bought pay reading aloud software. (I was used to be corrupted)

This time, I chose "Yuzuki Yukari"

It was not VOCALOID but VOICEROID, that is a reading aloud software.

I tried it soon, and it was really

Tremendous

(To be continued.)

Last night I got mail from a person who answered my questionnaire, "Ebata-san's questionnaire is interesting."

"I have never seen an questionnaire without the columns of weight, height, and other size of body."

I can understand the feeling, but I dislike a rude questionnaire of asking my "TOEIC" score to me easily either.

I also understand what kind of information I don't want to be asked by anyone.

-----

Certainly, my questionnaire is strange.

Above all, the fist question is,

"Q1: Please answer within 2 seconds. "I want to come to be popular"

and the second is

"Q2: Please answer within 2 seconds. "Being popular is good for me."

-----

On the other hand, some people appear qua-ere against this questionnaire.

For examples,

- "In any case, the contradiction answers happens."

- "I don't think that an effective result is coming."

- "What are you going to aim, using this questionnaire?"

"Fu,fu,fu.. You don't understand what a data analyst who is familiar with psychology is aiming "

I want to say that indeed, but

"I don't have any idea at all now."

-----

They are data analysis tools, which give me meaningful contents from the questionnaire.

When I operate the given data by the analysis tools, I can sometimes get amazing results.

At this moment, I had been petrified with Bayes estimator. This time, I am going to try more than twenty analysis approaches by the borrowed software. So I hope that I can come to find out several trend of the data.

It it the reason why I say "Data analysis is more exciting than average games".

Last Friday, I attended a regular meeting of EtherCAT Technology Group(ETG).

Actually speaking, I was invited to attend the meeting by the President of the ETG member company (Because I am not a member of the ETG), and had a chance to audit it.

I had two big impressions in this meeting.

(1)"3D printer to make a house", as one of EtherCAT applications.

To be precise, it was not to create a 3D object in the melted plastic, but large-scale industrial robots banks up many blocks side-by-side.

"It was a paradigm shift" even without relationship of EtherCAT technology.

With the hardening plastic, we can make a house as the same theory of "unit bath",

Even forming body only, automobile, airplane, are going to be made easily.

It is much fun for me to come to think "Field LAN for Makers (named by Ebata)" than to think IoT than (Internet of Things).

If joining the ETG, you are likely to get married (possibility)

Mr.Martin Rostan, an Executive Director of EtherCAT Technology Group, at the end of the beginning of the presentation, introduced us a lot of wedding photos of the couple of the representative of the ETG in each country.

The conclusion of his presentation, is , "easier to get married if we work for the field LAN, not the Internet.

Well, I know it is wrong.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

First of all, I attempted to cooperate with the second daughter who attended the wife who was returning to Kagoshima and tried to build Skype's environment - But this task was harder than I imagined.

While using LINE and mobile phones, and sending invitation messages mutually, the first Skype communication succeeded after one hour had passed since the start of environment construction.

In addition, since I needed the power supply for my smartphone and the mobile router, I asked Mr. O for a shop that with power.

After all,

For the telephone conference that connects a Japanese pub in Tokyo to Prozwaw in Poland, we were able to achieve our initial objectives,

while leaving various problems such as voice quality problems.

-----

Anyway,

"People who do not give up and have a mind "whatever I decided, I will do it" is turning the world

I really realized it.

Last Sunday night, my wife asked me,

Wife: "Tonight, "AI" is going to be featured on the NHK special"

Ebata: "I know, so I will concentrate on writing tonight without going around the TV."

-----

So, I didn't watched the NHK Special program whose title was 'AI' What do you think about future Nippon?" at all. And after that I will try not to hear and read about the program.

So, as for me, I can not say anything about this program. Even if I receive a question etc., I can not reply for you. I hope you understand.

-----

It is a supposed story, however, as I came to look like a pinch-eat about NHK's AI feature about for one year,

It will be in trouble that I am raging when I saw the program, and I broke the television

(No money to replace TV in the Ebata's)

or

It is auwful, if I rage and find fault with my family

I was afraid that.

-----

By the way,

I have surprised that this series was included as seven, to the top ten of the downloads of this series of yesterday.

(I was proud of my family at LINE in the past)

I do not know whether there is a relationship with this NHK program,

If there is,

I want to tell the NHK staff members,

"Thank you very much"

At the afternoon of the 3rd day in the conference, I had no session that I had to audit.

I am reluctant to speak insultingly about some specified field studies, however, the study field of

"Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)"

or

"Elderly care system"

sometimes make me angry and feel sick, so I try not to listen as much as possible (I will clarify in the column of this month).

-----

So, I climbed the Yonago Castle Rock with a long sleeve Y shirt with a dark blue slack. and black business casual shoes.

Well, it was a weekday, and I did not meet anyone. It was just after a heavy rain disaster, but a heat and hot day that the sunlight hits directly.

It is only climbing the forest road to reach the castle ridge at a height of 90 meters at the most, (there was also a muddy caused by the rain), it seemed that I cracked my feet a lot and got out of breath.

It will be that I can not maintain your physical strength just by walking commuting from home to the station over a little over 20 minutes.

Well, still, I think that it is "age" that is decisive.

There are different types of "despair for the loss of physical strength" for each of 30, 40, and 50 years old.

Please prepare for young people.

And what is guided by induction legally from this fact is that different types of "despair" will come to the 60s, 70s, 80s ... and so on.

-----

The 360 degree panoramic view of Yonago City from the Yonago Castle Ruins was a magnificent view.

A high-pitched pleasant wind blew through and relaxed the heat and heat.

While enjoying such a good scenery,

"With each age, from now on, "despair" of quality and number proportional to age will accumulate"

I had an unexpected future expectation.

-----

Well, still, young people do not have to worry too much.

You too will be able to read "despair" as "everyday"

"crafty"

has an unexpected power, and you will also have it.

(Although I am also) I can feel it when I see the executives of the neighborhood association.

Before, I had been contributing a series about dieting for about a year.

The results of various surveys and analysis, is

"If you don't eat, you lose weight. If you eat, yo get weight"

I confirmed this obvious fact in a demonstration experiment using me and my family.

All of diet book in the world has no statement of scientific basis, and furthermore, no verification data is not found.

I announced the above survey results.

Other,I mention that changes in metabolic energy with age, dietary effects of food ingredients, and feasibility of "partial thinning"

So, if you really want to diet,

"First, read this whole series and let you cool"

I would recommend starting from there.

-----

Recently, I have re-read the contents of the series.

In this series, I describe the "ruthless reality" about diet, however it seems that the description of the diet method (method) is not enough.

According to a story told by a nutritionist teacher, the most objectively effective way to go on a diet is the "recording diet", which records your weight daily.

In fact, I also kept track of my weight throughout the series writing.

Even now, I'm just continuing to get on the weight scale.

In fact, "every day, to get on the weight scale" is said to be "iron law" in diet.

(To be continued)

There was a third anniversary of my father's death the other day, and after discussing it with my sister, I decided not to attend.

I made a comprehensive assessment of the risk of infection while traveling to my parents' home and the behavior of the people I was traveling to (and the concerns of the locals).

I think that the biggest reason was

"My personal lack of awareness about weddings and funerals"

-----

Decisions regarding weddings and funerals are very different, depending on the country, the region, and even the religion, depending on the denomination.

Those decisions are often complicated, but I believe they are important triggers for triggering events related to geographical and blood ties.

More than that, if the event can give peace of mind to a living person, it's a good thing.

To wisely complain about such an event is unwise.

And, well, I can do "adult responses and ideas"

In fact, I'm an adult, and I need to stop acting as a youthful indiscretion.

But in a situation like this one, a corona disaster, such "adult responses and ideas" are easily withdrawn in the face of "rational thinking (risk calculation)".

(To be continued)

I don't know if it's true or not, but there are people who say things like, "If you get vaccinated against the new coronavirus, you will die within five years.

There may be medical information and statistical data to support this idea.

With the utmost courtesy, I will humbly ask you to teach me, so can someone please tell me why?

I want to know exactly the reason -- because I'm an engineer.

Incidentally, I've been studying this level of content on my own, with the help of doctors in the field, so...

If you can give me the reason, I would appreciate it if you could provide the reason that is on the same level as mine.

-----

By the way, I also make my living from data analysis, so if you can provide me with proper data, I can do the calculations for you.

"I would appreciate it if you could send me an email with a story to convince me that I will be dead in five years, or infertile, or whatever.

Upon request, I will disclose the full text on my website.

I've written more than 100 pages of columns on vaccines.

"The vaccines are dangerous"

If I change my opinions, it will have an impact within a certain people.

-----

I have already told you that my mother, who is currently in a nursing home, was hospitalized in an emergency the day after her first vaccination.

After the first hospitalization, my mother had to go to the emergency room again.

Well, looking at all these issues, I think many people will assume that it is an adverse reaction caused by the vaccination.

However, in order to write this column, I have been reading a lot about anaphylaxis from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

At least, I came to think that "it's not a symptom of anaphylaxis," with talking at least two doctors and one head nurse.

(To be continued)

I happened to watch the anime called "Wangan Midnight" by YouTube.

The story is that some people try to race in Metropolitan Expressway in a tuned automobile.

I am not mechanical engineer but electricity engineer, however, I was interested in the contents.

The characters were also polite, genteel, and likable.

On the other hand, I noticed that

It is illegal to modify the engine of a commercial automobile, and run out of control at speed 200 to 300 km/h on public roads, isn't it?

In addition, if you causes an accident with these runs, it is absolutely "dangerous driving manslaughter" charge.

I had forgotten it, accidentally.

-----

I am not condemning the work.

If I were to say that, "yakuza movie," and most manga that deal with violence and most anime that shoot guns would be no good either.

What I want to say,

"I tend to forget those unspoken assumptions whenever I watch contents with "engineering" elements."

I tell myself, "Be careful about it"

The first book I got about the JCP was this one (very famous).

I heard that the political position of the self-governing dormitory where I lived during my college days was at odds with the Minsei (Democratic Youth League). Still, I did not understand the background then or know it now.

I was just a 'parasite' student in the dorm.

To put it bluntly, if you are an engineering student, working part-time to earn a living, and then getting involved in a political movement, you are no longer a human being but a robot or a cyborg.

For science students, who are more interested in "Laplace transformations" than "politics" and "simulation programming" than "struggle," the self-governing dormitory was not a very comfortable place to be.

Aside from that.

-----

I am indebted to the Communist Party, or rather, Communist ideology, a lot -- exclusively for "irony" and "parody".

In the last three years or so alone, I have written this much.

------

Recently, a representative of a political party made a controversial remark about the Communist Party, saying that it is a party that "should be gone.

Well, we all have one or two "guys" we wish were gone.

But I promise not to say those things -- because I'm an adult.

(This time, I won't bring up the simple logic of 'eugenics' that negates this thinking. It's too much trouble.)

The idea that "XXXX should go away" has nothing to do with democracy, principle, or--

Not good from a 'statistical' standpoint.

It is not a healthy state of affairs.

Democracy is more stable when the various ideas are well scattered (like a normal distribution).

Otherwise, we would have to push and operate a one-party dictatorship or hegemony, which, in my view, looks like a 'democracy that is being forced.'

Of course, ideas and groups around the 4-5 sigma of the normal distribution that 'endorse violence,' for example, should be clamped down on, but that should be left to the law (and the violent apparatus (the police)).

I looked it up, and it seems that they are, somehow, still being properly watched.
