The continuation of reading specialist books should be encouraged. Everyone who is granted any academic degree at university may be able to continue to maintain his or her knowledge in order not to be behind the times in his or her field of specialization, even if his or her profession is different from it currently. This should be regarded as the usual custom of spending a little of free time on a regular basis. There's no reason to suppose that people should set limits only to the books dealing with the specialized fields with which they are familiar and should stop reading this sort of books after their retirements. People should continue if they like. This shouldn't be a painful effort. Rather than that, when matriculating in a university, people should choose their fields of specialization through their continuous reading of a specialist book which is enjoyable.

The experimental verifications of some subjects of the many branches of scientific research have been faced with difficult problems in the increasing expenses and the indispensable ethical codes. To conduct the experimental verifications of some particular subjects is nowadays impossible. It has been a long time since the active uses of the computer technologies were expected the solutions to these problems from for the first time. The recent advancement of AI may have revived a controversy about whether or not the computer, especially AI, can be a savior of modern science.

Before mentioning the potential of AI, the practical uses of the conventional simulations running on the existing computer systems and the limitations of these simulations for the advancement of sciences and technologies will be briefly touched upon today. In accordance with the advancements in the technologies associated with semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, the capabilities of computers have made great strides for about half a century. In terms of the speed in calculation and the capacity of memorization, a computer had already far outperformed a human. In other words, the computer has become a very useful tool that improves human abilities efficiently and it has still been growing solidly.
The simulation is a computer program utilizing a number of numerical equations describing the basic principles governing either an actual or virtual system in order to represent its perspective behaviors. In most cases, the validities of the numerical equations which are incorporated into the simulation were proven by experiments. Although some proposed equations might also be incorporated into the simulation as a trial for the purpose of their evaluations, it seems that the simulation can be used not to prove a proposed basic theory definitely but to evaluate it to some extent. When the behaviors of an actual system are simulated accurately and timely, people can be aware of them with a certain probability beforehand. When the behaviors of a virtual system are simulated using the program with numerical equations calibrated with a reasonable degree of accuracy, both the advantages and disadvantages of it can be evaluated without actualizing it, by a kind of extrapolation from an actual system. Because this process is only an extrapolation from a real one, it doesn't provide us with a conclusive verification. Therefore, the efficient applications of a simulation can help reduce the dissipation of the costs, time, and living subjects necessary for the actual experiments in the fields of sciences and technologies and the risk of natural disasters in everyday lives. It may help bring financial benefits to the business. Therefore, the existing computer can be a savior in terms of minimizing wasteful uses and improving efficiencies in various fields.

It isn't difficult to see how AI can be actively involved in the new generation of administrations in both manufacturing and logistics. On the other hand, what can be expected out of the practical uses of AI for the purpose of developing sciences and technologies in the future isn't easily foreseen, except for one. One is that human beings will develop AI that's far beyond human intelligence in terms of some abilities and then will ask it to discover the method to certify the truth of a matter that can't be certified with the conventional scientific method even though there's no guarantee that such a method really exists. Obviously, this idea of relying on others for help may sound quite deplorable but should be one of the possibilities. If there's a bare hope, people including scientists and other scholars shouldn't exclude it. AI in its maturity may not be regarded as just a tool but a good partner. It should be quite natural for people to ask a new partner a question. While people have to keep trying to unravel the long-outstanding tough problems by relying on the successive advancement of experimental science in order to make progress no matter how little it is, some of them may sometimes try to find out such an enigmatic methodology by their own efforts until either someone or AI finds it out. This idea isn't incompatible with what I wrote in my diary last week. As long as some of the intellectual abilities of AI that are considered to be potentially dangerous for the predominance of human beings are carefully restrained from developing and adding, AI beyond human intelligence may be a savior of science in the future.
Which intellectual abilities of AI should be intensively strengthened in order to achieve this goal without courting danger should be an interesting topic. The inferences, the recognitions, and the learning are probably so. The addition of the intellectual ability of imagination to AI should also be very effective in achieving this goal but as written last week it might be dangerous. The appropriate division of roles may be the point for compromise. To be more precise, human intelligence will maintain the responsibility to find rough ideas and AI will take the responsibility to evaluate these ideas and develop within the compass of its ability. Fortunately, the intellectual abilities necessary for an AI savior of sciences and technologies are exactly the same as those necessary for an AI judge of the future judicature. Anyway, the above-mentioned topics about AI in its maturity in the scientific and judicial fields are decades or centuries ahead.

Even though he or she made outstanding contributions to a present country or took action favorable to their popular feeling at a turning point in history, it should be considered to be very dangerous for its government and citizens to express too profound esteem for the achievements of a revolutionary, an assassin or other offenders who stand out in history, especially in recent times, for instance by setting up a commemoration day to celebrate his or her achievements. Overdoing it may carry with it some troubles, so people should take things about it steadily. The film adaptation of his or her biography, the marketing of the consumer goods whose labels exhibit his or her portraits and others seem to be less problematic and probably OK because people can choose whether or not to see it and whether or not to buy it.

The accuracy of the weather forecast for the middle part of the Nagano prefecture, which is a mountainous region located between the Pacific and Japan Sea sides, seems to be lower than those for other regions closer to the Pacific and Japan Sea sides of Japan. The difficulty in the weather forecast is more striking at the changes of season, that is, early in spring and autumn. It isn't easy to meet a non-spinning fastball in the atmosphere with a high Reynolds number.

The following is the text of a part of my diary that I wrote on Saturday, December 12, 2009. I have never revised this part of my diary since I uploaded it to my Blog in 2009. Therefore, the following text may still include some typos.

(A few paragraphs omitted.)
There is an uncertainty concerning the safety of the Enhanced Geothermal Systems associated with earthquakes. The EGS may trigger earthquakes but it doesn't cause major earthquakes. The main cause of earthquakes is known to be the presence of faults in the Earth's crust and plate tectonics. Rapid cooling of hot rocks and rapid heating and expansion of water, by pumping water through a drilled hole into a chamber and fissures in hot rocks (200 ~ 500 degrees C or above), may cause phreatic explosions deep underground that may lead to rapid movement along the faults when the strains have been built up among the neighboring faults. Therefore, no significant earthquake can be triggered with the use of the EGS if no considerable strain is built up on the faults.
A dangerous idea occurred to me. First of all, this is a rather nonsense one. There are many active faults on the earth. If the mechanism above is right, the basic concept of the EGS may be used to prevent catastrophic damages due to earthquakes by gradually and controllably releasing the strains on the known active faults in a seismic area. Drilling holes in the ground to an active fault and then pumping cold water through them periodically may relax the strain little by little, by causing weak earthquakes intentionally. The reason why this is a dangerous idea is that the first attempt may trigger huge earthquakes. Although, sooner or later, such earthquakes will occur in a seismic area when the build-up strain is released suddenly and spontaneously, the sufferers from it should blame executors for doing it usually. Mankind's dominion over nature is always hard. Let it be.
*****
My opinion on this matter hasn't changed, at all. Any experiment on this sort of geoengineering shouldn't be conducted, especially near an area where many people live. Moreover, the use of the tremendous explosive force of a kind of bomb, instead of the use of gradually increasing vapor pressure, deep underground in order to ignite the largely shifting plates of the Earth's crust abruptly must be avoided. The idea of using such a strong bomb to cause an intentional movement of the Earth's crust reminds me of a movie into which some Japanese filmmakers have turned a Japanese SF novel twice. My wife and I didn't know its climax before watching its remake on TV about a year ago. An outline of this movie is that the Japanese government authorized to use a number of strong bombs in order to help prevent the islands of Japan from sinking shortly. I don't see the mechanism of Japan's rapid sinking associated with the tectonic plates that a fictional scientist character explains in an SF movie, but I am sure that what he recommends either a prime-minister character or his representative to do for the purpose of avoiding the worst should cause a number of large earthquakes at a high possibility everywhere in Japan most possibly.
I believe that nobody has ever actually conducted the above-mentioned dangerous experiments in the crust of the Earth in secret, so far. It's too dangerous to make any artificial attempt to release the strong stresses accumulated between the crustal plates and another descending below in the neighborhood of Japan, where there are many overpopulated cities and the intense stresses accumulate between the plates constantly, as many know. Nobody could tell when the safety of such a method is infallibly assured in the future. It may never be fulfilled.

Because the smartwatches that some major electrical appliance manufacturers have developed may be categorized as an assistant device of the smartphone at the present time, the potential users of the smartwatches are mostly expected from those of compatible smartphones. Anyway, it's linked to a huge market. When it has the functions of both the phone and the net access without communicating through a smartphone, a future generation of the smartwatch will be more attractive for someone who doesn't want to carry a smartphone in his pocket or her handbag. Therefore, it seems that the smartwatch suits men's tastes mostly. The success in marketing of the early generations of the smartwatches depends upon the fashionableness, especially for the men's tastes. For business uses, a combination of it with either a tablet or a notebook may be advantageous in terms of seamless responding.

There is an obvious difference between Germany and Japan in terms of the understanding of armaments and the bearing of the war responsibilities in the post-WWII era, at least officially. One of the main causes of this difference is what happened in two major cities neighboring the naval ports of Japan in the first half of August 1945. Since either the unification of Germany or the formation of the European Union, it seems that Japan has been rather thrown off its stride, even though some pro-German Japanese. To be brief, some Germans have started behaving like Latin since then. Indeed, they are originally good at the science of mind. With whom Japan has really trifled for about the last three decades may be an interesting point. Either the countries or the communities that guided Japan to make some false steps in the 1980s and earlier are probably the answer to it. Japan's mistakes may be considered to be the lack of a sense of balance and the relapse occurring of a backlash against the growths in sophistication and sagacity.

It's true that the exports of arms to other countries shouldn't be praised, and those to some particular countries have to be tightly controlled in modern times. The export of arms from China has exceeded that of Germany and has ranked third in world sales of arms. It's not surprising that in due course it will take the second place though a wide gap still exists between Russia and China. China has learned from Japan's mistakes in terms of many aspects including a lack of balance. The Chinese government may continue to claim with provoking composure that they just want to be like Americans.

Both immaturity and insaneness are the characteristics of a person who should be considered to be very dangerous to others when he or she is armed. In general, an adult who has no mental illness may be licensed to possess a weapon in some developed countries. The same goes for the governments of the countries, too. Keeping the system of the government and the presence of minds of the people mature, sane, and balanced is the way to get the trust of the neighbors.
I may be belaboring the obvious, but a liberal and innovative way of thinking isn't a distinguishing attribute of immaturity but is a necessary attribute of the people who engage in research, contrivances, developments, and other creative activities in various fields.

Considering the fundamental technical difficulties, the inferior fuel efficiency, and the insoluble safety problems, the flying cars with no wings that appear in some SF movies won't become a reality, at least within a few centuries. Even if some technical difficulties were to be overcome in the future, cars that fly above the heights of buildings won't be a mainstream of transportation. This is because the business of air transportation of freight and passengers can operate acceptably only if the number of flying aircraft is limited to a certain level satisfying the necessities mostly for the long-distant mass transportations and the emergency transportations.
On the contrary, the developments of various kinds of running airplanes have been rather brisk in the US because there is no tough technical difficulty. In terms of fuel efficiency, the running airplane isn't so bad. However, I don't see any attractive point of the running airplane to potential buyers, unless the government gives pilots permission to take off from and land on the public roads under normal circumstances. The government will never approve it because it's very dangerous to other car drivers on the roads and the residents of neighboring houses. For the same reason above, running airplanes shouldn't be the main current of transportation.

The US federal regulators recently approved the test project of the air transportation of a light and compact package using a small helicopter-type drone by Amazon.com. All means of transportation should entail some risks of traffic and air accidents, and the risk that air transportation entails may be higher than what other means of transportation do. It's inevitable that a drone should accidentally fall during delivery at a certain small possibility. Because the total weight of a drone with a small package isn't so heavy, damage to various kinds of property such as the roof of a house, the bonnet of a car, etc. due to the air crash may be much lighter than those due to the crash of the large aircraft such as a passenger airplane, a sky-freighter, etc. Definitely, however, the frequency of accidents should increase with the popularization of drone deliveries. The management of potential risks and the compensation for inevitable damages should be the keys to success in becoming one of the main currents of the transportation industry for low cost. The critical problem of implementing this plan is the inevitability of accidents involving damage to human life. The clever establishment of restricted flight routes between the senders and the recipients may help reduce the frequency of fatal accidents, but it seems to me that the prospects for success are rather bleak. The introduction of a scientific way of conducting test projects in various fields including business and politics is a characteristic feature of America.

The tendencies to overvalue some of the cultures and institutions that were imported originally from overseas or detonated by contact with foreign cultures have been identified throughout Japanese history. This may be one of the characteristic features of Japan. Many examples of the peculiarly overvalued cultures may be found during the rapid growth periods in the early Meiji and the postwar eras. One of the typical examples of failure may be its fragility against the bubble economy of the late 1980s due to the excess occurrences of land flipping detonated by others. Probably, the eccentricity in the degree of the overvaluations of the prices of some articles, sports, comedies, comics, advertisements, humanoids, etc. in recent times may have sometimes surprised Europeans and North Americans. Some reasonable degree of overvaluations may be overlooked in order to keep societies vivacious. However, overvaluations can be very harmful to societies when they accept norms. The characteristic of Japan that makes much of populism, expediency, and copying of foreign origins while belittling the essences of things is a cause of these overvaluations. Because of the still remaining belief in totalitarianism, the Japanese have a remarkable tendency to cross on a red light when most of them do, as a comedian joked those days. Afterward, its bubble economy burst utterly in the early 1990s.

Although in actuality some economic bubbles may always accompany the economic developments of a capitalist nation, its economy should have a grave risk of crashing badly when they are inflated too much due to the excess overvaluations, as many learned from experiences. A sudden change may trigger the downfall of its fully swelled bubble economy. The trades bordering on fraud to manipulate the prices of some articles upward at an aberrant pace should be controlled by the government with wise regulations while avoiding any hard landing before it's too late. Its custom of trades to keep pricing within a reasonable range in both the current state of affairs and the value of brands should be cultivated one way or another in order to guide each Japanese trader to hesitate to cross on a yellow light and not to cross on a red light in business even when many others around do.

In modern times, the value of sports has increased in some economically developing countries and is still prized highly in most developed countries in order to instruct the youth in self-development, productivity, cooperativeness, leadership, and sociality as a part of elementary education, to either strengthen or maintain physical fitness, to improve the efficiencies of recreation, and simply to enjoy leisure. A high value has also been put on professional sports in order to provide entertainment for the general public and to promote human rights and economic activities in their societies.
Primitive sports have existed in some form or another everywhere in the world since ancient times. As a part of education for a particular class, some sorts of unsystematic sports including primitive martial arts had developed and intimated in a pompous way in Japan during the medieval period. Since the Meiji Restoration, Western culture and institutions including modern sports had begun to be introduced from Europe and North America at a good pace. From the medieval period until the relatively recent date, however, the Japanese hadn't placed a high value on the people of technical skills and the arts of public entertainment because of remaining protectionism for the system of the feudal society. The value of professional sports has, at long last, begun to increase rapidly by the pressures from the West relatively soon after World War II. That should be a reasonable change but the beginning of the overvaluation of sports in Japan. The overvaluation of sports has been further spurred by the misunderstanding of the value of sports. Indeed, sports aren't valuable for an elite education but mostly for an elementary education. Some old guards who used to make little account of the people of technical skills may pretend to heighten the value of sports excessively contrary to what they did in the past, for the purposes of gaining favorable attention from overseas and providing benefits for their fellows.
It goes without saying that the excellence in physical abilities, spiritual strengths, and skills that are necessary requirements for being an eminent athlete should always be desirable. However, the fact of the matter is that these excellences aren't so advantageous anymore in modern societies because everyone can easily enhance these abilities by the use of tools, such as automobiles, aircraft, computers, industrial robots, modern weapons, and so on.

Comedy is one of two major traditional styles of dramatic literature that have histories reaching well back into the past. In classical Japanese performing arts, Sarugaku, which is the prototype of the Noh play, includes an element of comedy. There are a variety of comic performing arts in Japanese history. Comedies especially Manzai, which is a comic stage dialogue, became incredibly popular in Japan around 1980, and the excitement over that comedy boom has still made itself felt in many areas. Although it's uncertain who initiated it, that boom was arranged to soften the Japanese's obstinate and short-tempered attitudes and to improve their ability to talk fluently in public. It seems that there's certainly been some improvements in these points but there's been undesirable side effects. It was through the comedians' influences that a good many Japanese started using the arts of making people laugh day-to-day, and some old guards started using these arts for the purposes of demeaning others including visitors from abroad. As long as a fine satire that a comedy contains is leveled against social evils such as corrupt politicians, dishonest traders, and other crooked people in power, many find value in it. However, if it's turned toward the weak or used to force a new to conform, it's only a despicable means. As the popularity of comedies took root, ordinary Japanese people began to show their tendencies to avoid constructive discussions while being evasive with neutral undesirably. Most unfortunately, with the times, the number of victims by swindlers who are clever with their tongues has been increasing.
The oldest comics remaining in Japanese history may be the four picture scrolls depicting the plays of rabbits, frogs, and other wildlife that are preserved in a temple in Kyoto. Various kinds of illustrated pulp fiction have been popular in Japan since the Edo period. The present styles of caricatures and comics were imported from the West, and these have become very popular during the period of rapid economic growth and later on. With the spread of television, the Japanese motion picture industry spending the large production costs have been on the decline from the 1960s to 1970s. As their movement away from printed words in literary style has gone deeper and deeper, the Japanese have shown a remarkable tendency to prefer easygoing comics to rather stiff novels. Nowadays Japanese comics are widely known overseas as a typical Japanese pop culture. Because of the growing popularity and earnings, no small number of the talents who were supposed to write great novels in bygone days might have chosen a cartoonist or a scriptwriter for cartooning by profession. Actually, the considerable shifting of talented storytellers in the publishing world from the literary circles to the manga circles improves the quality of some comics. However, there is no denying that on the whole every comic book is a sort of storybook only for the general public. The excess overvaluation the storybooks which are cheaper and more accommodated to the masses than novels, should cause a noticeable degradation in its cultures.

In modern times when the mass media have immense influential power on world markets and situations, advertisements are the strong mediums not only for business but also for politics. Advertisements out of proportion to the contents that are bordering on fraud by dishonest means are heard and seen everywhere in the world nowadays. It seems that Japanese advertising agents have to use greater prudence in advertising in exaggerated terms.
A frenzied uproar over the development of humanoids in Japan for about the last few decades was quite surprising. That's surprising because the true purpose of developing the humanoids is rather indiscernible. My interpretation is that the principal purpose of the development of the humanoids was intended mostly for the advertisements for the advanced robotics of Japan. In a well-disposed way, the monomaniac development of the humanoids might be motivated by the realization of a dream of Japanese youth. Some Europeans and North Americans may claim that that is their dream.

It's been about twenty years since I began a one-year visit to the Graduate School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tokyo, as a researcher.

The ideas, principles, and practices of the systems of either an organization or a society that are established aspiring to pursue mammonism overly by making a sacrifice of an individual on the inside of it, or even on the outside of it, and protectionism overly by making an individual the only scapegoat shouldn't be forgiven in many decent counties in modern times. These means are considered to be some of many negative aspects attendant upon extreme totalitarianism. Especially when some ringleaders of either an organization or a society are playing the knaves behind the scenes through on the strength of their numbers, it should be even more vile-tempered. It's nothing but a gang's system.
As long as the systems are intended to maintain a reasonable degree of the allegiances of the people making up only a smaller organization or a smaller society, the tendency toward totalitarianism isn't harmful but rather beneficial for strengthening it. This tendency may be necessary when an organization or a society is in a slump or adversity. As many people know, however, totalitarianism is very dangerous when it's used for a nation and/or it goes too far.
