At lunch time, when I wait for a plate meal at a Chinese restaurant and a person whose seat is next to me, get out a cigarette, I come to feel that

"Oh my gosh, It is unlucky today"

Since I had been smoking for about 7 months at the age of 20, I know the taste of "after-meal cigarette".

At the same time,all other periods in my life has been quit smoking, I also know the sadness that ruins meals by "after-meal cigarette".

-----

However, smoking itself is nothing wrong in smoking area.

So, I have very few feelings of "hate smokers".

Rather, I feel a sharp and violent anger towards a tobacco company that does not develop tobacco that is not smoke or smell.

(So, we recently praised the development and popularization of electronic cigarettes (this is another opportunity))

-----

People who can not put up with tobacco smoke, do not have to go to that restaurant ...however,

There are few restaurant that can offer meals of Chinese cuisine (and is reasonable), and many of that few restaurant are unfortunately smoking enabled.

So, what I do before entering a restaurant is just to pray.

"Please someone who smoke will not be nearby"

"Please, someone who smokes will not come near me"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

I am afraid that it is difficult for smokers to understand that this violence smell of tobacco smoke to destroy my joyful meal. And I give myself up on explaining about it.

I think that many smokers think "I have a good smoking manner", and I can agree with them from the view point of "passive smoking".

However, according to "smell of smoke", it is a different story.

"Smell of smoke" is --- I don't know the mechanism --- terrible intense.

For example, I cannot run away from the smell through all commute walking, by just an existence of leading smoking person, 200 meters apart from me.

This case might occur because of "good smoking manner", in another respect.

-----

The other day, I read an article that the restaurant that deal with separation of smoking areas, loses sales.

I can understand it.

For me, I don't get a seat near a smoking corner, because I cannot stand for the smell.

If no seat apart from the corner, I leave the restaurant.

The article said that younger cannot keep working in that restaurant.

Sweeping a smoking corner is likely to be a "torture in gas chamber" for them.

(To be continued)

(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.

I have died sickly in Delhi in India on my journey when I was young. At that time, I remember the emotions got up, however, I could not understand that.

"I want to die by grasping Japanese soil"

"If it is the nearest from here, is Okinawa?"

-----

"So what? "

Some people think that, however, this has been a big problem for me.

I can understand if there is a feeling of "I do not want to die" or "Where will I go if I die?"

I can also understand various thoughts about "religion".

If it is "family" or "lover", it would be even easier to understand.

-----

I know that I am not a "patriot", and I do not like the idea of "nationalism". In addition, I hate that word "nationalism".

If you ask me about "Japanese as a national character", I think that I will respond "I am not interested". I understand "local love" and "neighborhood love" as just knowledges.

I dare to speak of my ideology, "individualism" and "selfishness". I think that they are fit for me.

-----

But what made me fall into the darkness of doubt,

In that moment of whether we live or die,

the concept of "birth country"

happened, and it surprised and upset me about my own existential significance.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

On the 27th of the last month, I received a call from my wife, that my father in law, in Kagoshima fell into a critical condition.

She received notification from her uncle, "his blood pressure becomes less than 50, so today is the last day to be in at the finish". And she and senior daughter went on board a plane at Hanada airport soon.

Waiting my wife's message by my smart-phone at the office, I was really surprised to get the phone call from her.

"Just after the time when they arrived at the room, the blood pressure of father-in-law went up more than 130"

He has lost consciousness, and could not eat any food. At that time. Drips had already been stopped, and they were just watching his die.

For me, this pressure rise of him, was likely to be a "miracle against laws of nature".

After that, while my wife and others talked each other "He might keep this condition for a few days", however, he passed peacefully away at 10 in the next morning, in everyone was working busy.

It seemed to be calm and peaceful, nobody noticed his loss until a nurse noted it.

-----

After the message from my wife, I started to prepare for a flight and a rental car. At that time, I saw the Line message of the previous day from my wife.

"Daddy might pick spirit by hearing our voices"

At the moment, I found myself crying out "that's it!".

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

At that time, I thought that I could resolve my longstanding problem

"I want to die by grasping Japanese soil"

"Language is not a simple means of communicating information, but a means that can deliver human thoughts to people"

I was in a state of dying at the Indian Delhi at that time, I thought

"I wanted to die among those who can understand my words and those who will speak to me."

-----

I do not think that my father-in-law who was in critical condition in Kagoshima was able to understand the voice of her daughter and granddaughter as "message".

However, even then, he received their "voice" as "love"

and responded to that "love" with "intention to live (rising blood pressure)", and

while listening to the "voice" of many loved people,

he quietly passed away.

That's it.

"You are great aren't you ?, my father". I could not keep the tears from my eyes, and left the office.

-----

After that, I went to the company's office to prepare for the move to Kagoshima from the next day, to get pollen allergy and insomnia medicine medicine,

The doctor who consulted my eyelids said, "Can you show me your eyes?", and

He said, "this is really terrible hyperemia," and prescribed large amounts of medicine (for 3 months) at one time.

You may not feel it, but the clock of PC loses time easily.

The reasons are that

- the accuracy of the oscillator installed in the personal computer is bad (instead of cheap)

- most PCs can acquire the correct time from the time server when connecting to the Internet,

so it is difficult for to notice it.

I studied about a personal computer to realize handling time of 0.000000001 seconds (quite incredible), so I am familiar with the time accuracy of this personal computer.

-----

In most companies, when accessing an external server from a personal computer, strict security processes run.

So, my personal computer was also in trouble because I could not set the time synchronization with the external server quite well.

Leaving it out, the time goes loses time more than five minutes in a week, so I tried it a lot

for example, tunnel a hole in the firewall or design of a module that receives radio waves of domestic radio clock.

-----

However, one day I noticed

"If I set it manually, is it soon?"

It took me less than 20 seconds to manually set the time of the computer while watching the time of the watch of my favorite radio clock.

-----

Engineers want to "automate" everything.

Their motivation for "automation" is not wrong.

"Automation" "Lightening" "Simplification" "Speeding up" is justice no matter what anyone says.

However, it is also an engineer who tends to lose sight of "cost with the justice".

When I saw the notice of the animation "Violet Evergarden" with the theme of "automatic clerk - doll",

I thought "Is this about artificial intelligence, android", but, The theme was the opposite(the details are omitted).

It is an animation of really beautiful images (of course, it is a very wonderful story too)

From the start to the end of the program, it makes me feel like I am in an art museum where beautiful pictures are displayed.

When I visited "Orsay (× Louvre) Art Museum", I remember the time when I was overwhelmed by its beauty and lost my energy ---- as a good memories of overseas business trips that gave me a lot of unpleasant feelings.

It is rare for me, but I sometimes stop a picture and I am looking at it ---- to stop the movie and watch it as a picture.

Well, aside from that.

-----

I read three articles only today, stating that "It will be the era when artificial intelligence will do if it is a simple task."

If I were an artificial intelligence with personality, I think probably saying like this.

"Can you manage me (artificial intelligence) ? you are a person who cannot operate even PCs aren't you ? "

To begin with, humans can not manage even the same people in the right way.

That's obvious that if you look at the number of "Nikkei ◯◯" mails with a large amount of URLs delivered to me every day.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Are they seriously thinking about dream things such as "Do not give any instructions to artificial intelligence, take my intention and do your own work"?

Before talking about "artificial intelligence" , if such "PC (application)" appears, please inform me first.

-----

I intended to "refute" politely over time, "It will be an era when artificial intelligence does simple tasks", however,

"Yeah, that's enough. I am tired"

-----

I have a request from everyone.

Please tell me a concrete example of that 'simple task that artificial intelligence does.'

I do not need anything. Only one is fine.

Even if it does not exist at present, it does not matter.

I would like to summarize "artificial intelligence" that many people image, once.

-----

So, for me,

To reject all incoming mails with two phrases "simple task" and "artificial intelligence" in one phrase

In the meantime I would like keep doing it.

Many documents issued at the government office are getting ready at convenience stores.

In particular, the combination of (1) PC + (2) My number card + (3) convenience store is the strongest.

It is great that I can save time to go to the government office, wait at the government office, and return from the government office.

It's also wonderful that the business hours are 24 hours.

However, this "(1) personal computer" is a big problem.

-----

Recently, I am making my parent's document (final return etc.) on my computer, but it is too difficult for me.

Until about the third year, I kept inputting to my PC while communicating with "Dead! Dead! Dead!"

It cannot be helped.

It is a pain for me even who is regarded as a PC specialist, to use the system that is only used once a year.

Well, continuing to use this system for several years, I come to understand "what this systems want me to", and I come to feel easy.

So, if someone uses this system everyday, I think that this site is "a useful tool".

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

In order to obtain "only" a resident card and family register certificate that the government office can issue,

(1)Operating with a personal computer

(2)Going to the office,

If asked which better is, I also choose the (2).

Considering how many times a citizen's voucher or family register must be copied during the lifetime, "fighting with a PC" is not an optimal strategy.

-----

So, "the government office is okay for the time being" --- I don't think so.

Probably, the administration will shrinking or abolishing the office, and it is supposed to try to force people to "PC + convenience store".

If someone asks the administration for truncating the digital divide people?" Well, they will naturally truncate.

Compared with welfare for the elderly and measures against declining birthrate, this line is easy to say easily.

"You are bad aren't you ? Because you have not used a personal computer"

People who can not use 'PC + convenience store' will be asked by a merchant who pays high money and acts on it.

In the end, the job of the administration is cheaply paid to the private sector.

-----

From this point of view, my old age will be wonderful(?).

According to final and mother's final declaration and wife's real estate registration procedure, I will do it for free. Other people will get the appropriate money.

I will save money if the future will come. It might be helpful.

I do not feel punishment even with 1 mm, "sacrificing the inconvenience of people"

In yesterday's diary I wrote "Dark future for people who can not use PC".

For such a future prediction, some people try to argue in the story that "interactive AI should be needed...".

Of course I also expect "interactive AI".

I think that "Google Home" etc. is a big step toward this future.

I am serializing the column of "AI's dark future", however I believe that future persons will read my column and make me laugh as "stupid pessimist" after ten and twenty years.

That is the most wonderful future.

-----

However, I think that there is a big lie in this "why, interactive AI ...".

Initially, AI technology is a mass of logic.

AI technology can not do anything for things or humans of "logic failure" (e.g extralogical complainer) that can not be logically matched.

I can understand the feeling "That is a significance of existence of AI isn't it ?"

But, in that case - you see, here is very important -

AI technologies must logically analyze the logic of that "logic failure"

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

In other words, AI technologies try to ask the complainer about the following questions,

- Why is this complainer angry?

- What is the cause of the occurrence?

- What is the intelligent level of this complainer ?

- Is there a mental illness in this complainer?

- Is there a person who has an explosive personality in this complainer's relatives?

- Has he/she made similar claims in the past?

The complainer might to be asked "Do you know the multiplication tables? "Do you know why the object falls".

If I asked such a thing, I think that "I will destroy that AI's device with a fist."

-----

The crucial difference between AI technology and humans is something about "consideration", "treating" or "reading the air".

This is a big issue that current AI technology can not overcome human being.

For the person who will say "Nevertheless, for those you have said, I think there is something to do ...", I have no more words to say.

-----

I come to think that

"PC is better than AI, because PC doesn't say something disagreeable"

Recently, PC story continues now. Today, I tell another one.

I'm doing work at a neighborhood association, but now "keeping a person with PC literacy" is a ten times bigger problem than an ordinal problem.

There are few people who can use word, excel, and powerpoint in the neighborhood association. It is not used at all, such as a scheduler, conference reservation / notification system, which can be used free of charge on personal computers and smartphones. To tell you the truth, even no sign appears.

Some person don't have even their own mail address.

If they can use a PC or the Internet, it is obvious that we will dramatically alleviate the burden of neighborhood association events, and I don't need the trial calculation.

One officer said (with off the record) "If there are human beings who can use a personal computer, we can reduce four people in charge to one person"

-----

"At the meeting of the neighborhood association, the saying "I cannot use PC at all" is allowed"

I wonder if this saying is proper at the meeting.

This means, that the neighborhood association has accepted the logic of "I can not use a personal computer" -> "" Therefore, I can not do this work ".

-----

However, from my point of view, personal computers (and applications) are

"tools that are difficult to use, in the history of human beings"

I agree to the point completely.

I will tell you that the application interfaces of the personal computer are new and unusual, which we have never experiment in the history of one million years of humanity.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

he reason why PCs have become "uncomfortable tool" is the interface. If you want to know the reason, the nearest way to make an PC application by yourself.

If I want to make applications for PC easily in as short a time as possible, I will design as that interface("Open", "Close" or "Overwrite Save").

-----

By the way,

You might think that the current GUI based interface is "difficult to use".

However, when that GUI interface appeared, our world (such as engineers and researchers) fell into a big mess.

I can never forget that shock when I used the GUI of "Macintosh SE 30" for the first time.

One of researchers had been rushing to "GUI will be disappeared soon" disrespectfully.

(There was a group of net news called "fj", and he always responded unpleasantly. So even now I remember his full name (I can say it)).

Anyway, now it may be unbelievable for you,

"The interface of the current GUI was a miracle technique combining a human (an ordinary person) and a computer"

At the same time, the "excessive respect" of the public to specified persons (like, engineers and researchers) who can handle computers at the command line, has also been lost.

Before the GUI interface appeared, there was a time when they proud of their son or boyfriend could use "computer" (with distance look)

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Return to the board.

The PC application has two natures.

(1)It is approved by enforce the end user to the designer's policies,

(2)It is difficult to build in the end user's needs for the interface.

From the view point of PC users, a person who can use PC has been

completed to be given the brain wash by the designer's policies.

-----

Needless to say about Islamic extremist, the younger they are, the easier they are given their brain wash.

The other day, I watched a news program, that the research report of an international organization said "the younger Islamic extremist seldom or never read Koran".

"I thought just as much." -- Why I can say so? Because I know something with the past.

Persons who read neither "Capital" nor " Communist Manifesto", even "From fantasy to science",

preached the revolution to the world arrogantly

said "lead the masses" grossly

broke things, killed people, and went down with debts,

I know plenty of such unpleasant facts.

(To be continued)

(Continuation from yesterday)

Sorry but may I change the topic now.

I will return to the story of "Neighborhood Association's PC literacy".

After all, it is not an exaggerated story so far, it is actually a simpler story.

- People who use personal computer on a daily basis (business) can use a personal computer

- People who are not, can not use a personal computer

It just is the thing.

"PC" is the same as "English"

This is not a problem of "good or bad".

Even if you try to raise literacy in a PC (or English) classroom, it will fail in most cases .

What we need to do to raise literacy on a PC (or English) is

- to "Make everyday life that requires a personal computer (or English)"

And, furthermore, speaking out of

- to "make a crisis state that you can not eat tomorrow's rice" if you can not use PC (or English) "

You choose yourself the situation of (or it is chosen by someone's order) and, we have to reach where we can not return.

It is absolutely "uncomfortable", "painful" and "unpleasant" days, opposite of "easy" and "simple".

(To be continued)

(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.

My junior daughter looks tense for becoming a "high school girl" from next April.

She said "It is a "JK" isn't it? "

When my senior daughter became a "high school girl, she seemed to increase the pressure, that

she wondered if she become the girl like "Mouri Ran" in the "Detective Conan"

-----

I have been to be called "funny person" for a half of century, however,

I think that my daughters bear comparison with me.

To the person who can say "Anyone can do such a thing, even if do it","It is easy"

"Please show me what you do."

You can do such a thing ?

Is it easy for you?

I prepare to change places with you.

I often make my works in the small hours.

When the work is a drawing, I will send it to my family by Mail and Line, however,

Last night, all of my family asked me,

"to stop it"

I asked the reason to them, they said

"The sound of smart-phone wakes me"

I was really surprised.

-----

Ebata: Why do all of you set the ringing tone, at the incoming Mail and Line ?"

Senior Daughter(SD):"It is just common".

Ebata:"No way! we, IT engineers have believed that E-mail has a merit of "the recipient can reply at their own convenience", so we have been trying to spread it.

I also had a wicked intention, "I do not reply to unpleasant e-mails" or "I want to ignore troublesome work".

-----

Wife: "We are doing work on the line, so the ringing sound is absolutely necessary"

Second daughter: "Ring tone setting is common sense"

I reluctantly agreed to stop using Mail and Line to my family at midnight.

-----

I have ever made my own e-mail agent (M2M (IoT system) using e-mail), so I complained that "I am feeling down, because the basic idea of e-mail seems to be trampled down", however,

SD:"any tool continues to develop beyond the intentions of the developers "

I was admonished by her.

There is a saying "good and bad fortune are next-door neighbours"

That means "a badness happens as soon as a goodness happens, and vice versa"

-----

After fixing serious bug (debug), It is common that the result of debug comes to make another problem. Now I am in the death-marching.

While I confirmed completing the program joining operation and relieved, the order of "submit the result report" was coming, eve the program had not been executed yet.

-----

Recently, Odakyu Electric Railway has increased the number of (historical) routes and revised the schedule this time.

I think that this improves congestion degree and arrival time faster - probably - many passengers become happy, however,

As for me, the arrival time will be delayed by 20 minutes at the time of the conventional departure station.

If someone do something to change, these cases will happen.

-----

You might think that "Ebata is not himself today", however,

In fact, the program I am making now, has a function to calculate the departure and arrival time.

In the program, I am only one among hundreds of thousands of passengers generated, and I am just a parameter of even 0.01% in the whole.

My delay time of 20 minutes has only an impact of about 0.002 seconds in the overall optimal calculation of my program.

-----

So I think

- In order to make my own convenient diamond,

- the president of Odakyu Electric Railway is not enough, I should have been a senior bureaucrat of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Minister of Transport, or Prime Minister.

However, I have not made an effort to become such an elusive person.

In conclusion, it was my fault.

-----

However, I do not know whether such people are commuting to train.

When I sorted the ads for recruiting for "English conversation lesson" for circulation boards of the neighborhood association,

My wife asked me "Do you want to start an English conversation lesson ?" in a black rage.

"It might be highest possible misunderstanding in several years"

I almost burst into laughing.

-----

One day on Sunday, when I worked at hall counter,

a foreigner at the next town came to the counter to try to reserve a room for the event of "English conversation lesson".

As just a trigger, I started to help her for inquiries to the head of the neighborhood association and ads distributions by the circulation boards, by e-mail.

------

I am a writer of the works whose title is "New strategies for engineers who are not loved by English". So even if I try to start "English conversation lesson" by myself,

this is not a "joke" but a "serious affair"

It was about when I went to Costco the other day.

There seemed to be "Major career switching campaign" inside the store, a sales person approached me.

"Which carrier do you use?"

When I was asked, I laughed with grinning, I said a word.

"Cheap carrier of 500 yen per month, data communication only"

After that, the sales person had a facial expression with be frustrating, he just kept silent.

-----

Lol. Haha...

I came up to implementing IP packets 20 years ago, and I have already made smart-phone environment that movies contents are available.

My level is far from yours. That is the level.

"Do not go up my expectations"

"I will have to start to watch a new work calmly completely without prediction feeling"

I tell myself.

"I have to forget the event that I went to London only to watch "Steins Gate(Fate Stone) once"
