2024年5月9日（木）

今日は早めに帰宅して買い物と夕飯準備、息子たちが食べ始める頃にツレアイ帰宅、交代して出かけたのは七条第三小学校。今夜は、七三学区保健協議会の総会だ。この小学校区は京都市内でも特に近年子どもの数が増えている地域、マンションの建設ラッシュの影響だ。保健協議会と��うのは、もともと献血や健診を担当していた組織と��ミ減量に取り組む組織が合体して出来たもの、私は委員となって3年目に突入した。主な仕事は第4土曜日の使用済み天ぷら油の回収、7つの拠点で回収されたのは昨年実績で3,145L、これが市営バスの燃料となるのだ。とは言えランチ抜きなので腹ぺこ、帰宅後は🍶と🐟をむさぼるようにいただいたのであった。

5時起床。

朝のルーティンはネットサーフィン。

洗濯。

朝食。

珈琲。

弁当*1。

プラゴミ、45L*2。

ツレアイの職場経由で出勤。

61分で到着、燃費は良くない。

昨日の＜情報機器の操作Ⅰ（栄養学科）＞の基礎テストと入力課題のチェック。

来週の＜スタディスキルズ（第5週）＞の内容検討、資料作成。

3限は＜スタディスキルズ（教育学科）＞、4週連続欠席の学生が1名、恐らく退学であろう。火曜日と同内容、図書館の利用法・NDC・OPACの使い方、＜要約文＞の作成練習。連休の（遊び）疲れに午後の眠さが重なって辛そうな学生が多い、課題のできたものから早めに退出させる。

＜スタディスキルズ＞第5週は、図書館での図書借り出し、スタッフにその旨連絡メールを出す。

早めに退出。

帰路は50分、燃費もさほど悪くない。

先日会費を振り込んだ＜大阪コリアタウン歴史資料館＞から会員証が届く、果たして何度行くことができるやら。

セントラルスクエア花屋町店で買物、＜鱧皮＞が欲しかったのだが、20%引きのものをあれこれゲット。

Újabb kísérlet az AI kitűzők piacán

Megérkezett a Plaud NotePin, egy mesterséges intelligencia alapú eszköz, melynek feladata, hogy a mindennapos beszélgetésekről leiratot készítsen.

A nagy “AI-bumm” kezedetekor számos startup kezdett bele mindenféle önálló hardver fejlesztésébe, de ezekre a többség a kolosszális bukásaik miatt emlékszik - a Rabbitról kiderült, hogy egy szimpla androidos eszközt rejt, a mesterséges intelligenciát pedig mindössze egy alkalmazással is elérhetnék az átlag felhasználók szinte bármilyen okostelefonról, a Humane féle AI kitűző pedig operációs rendszer és hardver szinten is jókora csalódás volt.

A Plaud nevű vállalat is adott ki már korábban AI eszközt Note néven, azonban a gyártó a “beszélgetős kisokos” helyett a beszélgetés átírásokban látta a fantáziát, első eszközük ennek megfelelően egy az újabb iPhone-ok hátlapjára mágnesesen rögzíthető “diktafon AI” lett, melynek feladata a telefonbeszélgetések összefoglalása és az eszköz egészen jól is teljesít ezen a téren. 

Az újdonság ezt a “szellemiséget” viszit tovább. A NotePin egy mindössze 169 dolláros eszköz kompakt kialakítású, könnyen hordozható nyaklánc vagy kitűző, mely akár 20 órán keresztül képes folyamatosan rögzíteni és akár 40 napig is készenlétben maradhat. A felvett szövegből a ChatGPT40 és a Claude 3.5 nyelvi modellek segítségével is képes leiratot készíteni, a Plaud alkalmazás segítségével a rögzített beszélgetések könnyen átírhatók és összefoglalhatók. Az alkalmazás különböző összefoglaló sablonokat kínál, így a felhasználók a saját igényeiknek megfelelően rendszerezhetik az információkat.

Persze a NotePin sem csak az egyszeri vásárlókra épít, az alapárba csak egy ingyenes, havonta csak 300 percnyi felvételt készítését kínáló szolgáltatás tartozik. További 79 dollárért már 1200 percet dolgoztathatunk fel a rendszerrel havonta, illetve többféle feldolgozási sablon közül is választhatunk annak megfelelően, hogy milyen szituációhoz mi passzol a legjobban a mi észjárásunk szerint.

Matchstick Of The Week

After spending 8 years building a model of the #EiffelTower out of #matchsticks Richard Plaud was initially told by @GWR that he had used the wrong sort

It must have been a tad disappointing to have spent 4,200 hours over eight years building a replica of the Eiffel Tower out of matchsticks, believing that it would be the tallest matchstick structure, only to be told that you had used the wrong sort of matches. This is the fate of Richard Plaud from France when he sent details of his erection to the judges at Guinness World Records (GWR). It was…

Affection, puh!: An Aroace Reading of Polonius

Polonius is aroace. I am saying this as an aroace man who relates heavily to Polonius. Bear with me if you are open to reading about the idea.

(Essay under cut, ~1.2k words)

(I’ll be using “allo” as a shorthand for “romantic and sexual” in this essay, as a note.)

So, let’s start on a broader scale. Thematically, Polonius is opposed to both of the major allo relationships depicted in the play. Ophelia & Hamlet? He tells them to break up. Claudius & Gertrude? Well, he doesn’t dare tell them to break up, obviously, but he does manage to pull Claudius away from Gertrude and stick with him for a while, plus Gertrude is clearly annoyed at Polonius potentially interrupting her time with Claud, with “more matter with less art” and all that. And Polo, not Gertrude, is the person Claudius talks to before the praying scene. Okay this is turning into a qpr plaud agenda (which would require a separate essay) but you all see what I mean right. Polonius stands in opposition to all allo relationships depicted in the play, in contrast to e.g. Hamlet (who opposes claudgert only) or Laertes (who opposes hamphelia only). So, thematically, he is already very much the antithesis to alloness.

Now, we can look at what Polonius has to say in his actual lines about romantic love and lust. The beloathed. I’ll just go through his lines in order. Let’s start with his advice to Laertes, which opposes lust and forming passionate emotional attachments to others:

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,

You might say this is merely period-typical purity standards, etc. Well, let’s see where we end up if we continue examining. What comes up next is his first conversation with Ophelia. Let’s take a look:

[POLONIUS] What is between you? Give me up the truth. [OPHELIA] He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders Of his affection to me. [POLONIUS] Affection, puh!

A very relatable experience for modern aspec people, no? Don’t you look at allo people doing allo things and think “what the fuck is this”? And they’re like "oh. This is being allo". And you’re like “Puh!”. Okay I am projecting but this is literally a common aspec experience. Let’s continue:

Do you believe his “tenders,” as you call them? [...] Ay, “fashion” you may call it. Go to, go to!

Air quotes around sex- and romance- related terms. Aspec syndrome at its finest. The choice of “fashion” to describe how quickly romantic love comes and goes also reflects how our lifelong friendships can be instantly devalued by your friend having allo attraction to somebody else. The classic aspec experience. Continuing:

[...] These blazes, daughter, Giving more light than heat, extinct in both Even in their promise as it is a-making, [...] In few, Ophelia, Do not believe his vows, for they are brokers,

Essentially “I don’t believe in romance and you shouldn’t either”. Literally me. And a lot of aspec people on this website, eh? At least the idea that romance isn’t the end-all be-all.

Now, I’m not saying that Polonius isn’t misogynist or isn’t hurting Ophelia in this scene! But the way that he phrases his arguments makes it read like he has something else going on additionally to period-typical standards. He’s not talking about purity or virginity – not explicitly, anyway – he’s talking about romantic love itself being unreliable and fleeting and should fundamentally be avoided. Doesn’t strike me as very allo...

Let’s move on to Act II. He thinks Laertes is being too slutty, but that doesn’t have to be the basis for my argument. Let’s examine his conversation with Ophelia again:

[POLONIUS] Mad for thy love? [OPHELIA] My lord, I do not know, But truly I do fear it. [POLONIUS] What said he?

The connection between madness and love occurs before Ophelia has completely explained the situation. Which, of course, is Polonius coming to hasty conclusions and talking over people – but also shows that he has an implicit association in his mind between love and madness. Aspec people: Have you ever thought “those allos are crazy”. Exactly. Let’s continue.

This is the very ecstasy of love, Whose violent property fordoes itself And leads the will to desperate undertakings As oft as any passions under heaven That does afflict our natures. I am sorry.

He’s saying that allo love is an affliction that is inherently harmful. Implication: We would be better off if allo love did not exist, or at least wasn’t so prioritized in society. Sound familiar yet? Again, as an aroace man: Literally me.

Okay, we have one aside line that is very important in doing any queer reading of Polo:

(aside) [...] And truly, in my youth, I suffered much extremity for love, very near this. I’ll speak to him again. [...]

There are so many ways to read this line. Does “for” mean “for the goal of” or “due to”? Did he suffer in the pursuit of love, or did he suffer due to being forced to be in the presence of love? Because if this is the latter, it’s literally a comment on the discrimination against aspec people in allonormative society. And even if it’s the former, it could mean that he thought he experienced allo attraction when he really didn’t.

That’s basically all of Polo’s lines about love or lust. Now, lastly, we gotta look at the absence of Polonius’s wife and Laertes & Ophelia’s mother from the picture. This could be for any number of reasons and headcanons, but Laertes does mention his mother directly once:

[LAERTES] Give me my father! [GERTRUDE] Calmly, good Laertes. [LAERTES] That drop of blood that’s calm proclaims me bastard, Cries “cuckold” to my father, brands the harlot Even here between the chaste unsmirchèd brow Of my true mother.

He’s essentially saying that “I wouldn’t be my father’s son (i.e. my mother would have cheated on him) if I weren’t angry at my father’s death”. This is what I call a bit of counter-evidence – it does suggest that Polonius was married and had sex at some point, I can’t deny that much. However, considering a number of reasons:

1) Laertes is lashing out in anger here and might be just Saying Things; 2) the mother isn’t ever mentioned at all elsewhere in the play; 3) the main purpose of mentioning the mother here is for Laertes to assert his paternity; 4) the whole speech is metaphorical anyway;

I feel like this piece of evidence holds a lot less weight and implications than everything before.

Additionally, using “chaste” to describe a “true mother” seems a bit strange in the biological sense, no? Maybe Polonius had a sexless marriage for sociopolitical purposes? Then that would also support some measure of an aspec nature in Polonius.

(My personal take on Polonius’s marriage is that he and a close platonic friend wanted to raise children so they agreed to get married and have sex, but this obviously has no bearing on his attraction or anything. Also, he presumably never visibly remarried after his possibly-spouse left the picture. Sounds like no attraction to me...)

Suffice to say. Considering all of this evidence? This man is not allo. I call him aroace on the far end because that’s what I am, but I totally see how these pieces of evidence can be used to support another aspec interpretation. Yeah.

Erősődő európiai tech-konkurensek és a lehallgató mesterséges intelligencia (2025-03-19)

Egyre több vállalat támogatja a technológiailag független Európa koncepcióját, de vajon mik azok a területek és szolgáltatások, melyeken már az öreg kontinensen is találunk alternatívát? Az iFater eheti adásában többek közt ezt járjuk körül, de szó lesz az elbutuló Google Asszisztensről, az Amazon adatvédelmi aggályokat ébresztő új lépéséről és a rajzfilmes húzással becsapható Tesla önvezető autókról is. Tesztpadon az első “AI diktafon”, azonban a Plaud Note nem attól lesz igazán érdekes, hogy képes feliratozni és összefoglalni a diskurzusainkat, hanem hogy mindezt telefonbeszélgetésekkel is meg tudja tenni, ráadásul bármilyen készüléken.

Conversation and School Reunion

“Tell me Natsume, what is the best thing we could do at the hopeless situation like this? You always think sharp and very logic.” Huh? Not the type of conversation I am anticipated to have at a school reunion like this. She then sips her ice coffee and waits for my response.

And you are always sentimental and melancholic, silly girl, if it is about the matter of others. This girl always radiates sunniest side of her and brings the positivity to the around, so it has surprised me to see her tangled like a withered rose that lose her petals gradually. 

“Well, the news aired nowadays have drained me out. Please convince me any reason to stay. Many people have offered me the option to move. I really put this on thought lately.”

It is already three years passed after we graduated from the academy and then become the civil servant who have served the country. The graduation moment suddenly flashes back in my memory where this girl widened her smile, her eyes shined brighter than ever, and her speech she gave as a school representative was given plauded, “where we come will we return.” She was one of the top students in our academy and she dreamed of serving the community humbly. What a noble dream she had. In contrary, I wanted only to be carefree and get paid highly.

“I think it’s better not to take things personally. Despite everything, you always have the grit to pursue whatever you want.” This shall too pass, silly girl. For all the moments we have spent together, I guarantee you are very determinant and able to indulge to where your heart is.

Unfortunately, this girl always like this, she cares for everything until it has consumed her. Easily driven by sympathy towards everything and then getting hurt. With her, having that great sympathy for others, I don’t know whether it is a good trait or only a bad faith as she will take things seriously. She is naïve, thinking the world has run in a perfect shape with amount people having good intentions like her. Seeing how the world she was imagining slowly turning down differently has slapped her to harsh reality.

My memories suddenly flew back to ten years ago, when our teacher gave assignment to write an essay about our vision to the future. She is the type who is pleased after helping anyone hence she wrote down naively she wanted to be anything who would be benefited to others. I made fun of her dream, saying wryly that people would take her kindness for granted that she should think of herself at priority. But I did not have any single vision to counter her back as the future seemed too far away to think which pissed me of how she saw it simply.

Her mouth curves a bit, and her pupils seem narrow a bit I hardly to see the light inside, “I don’t know what to pursue anymore as everything has darkened. I know you will think I am too naïve to see the world categorized in black and white.” She pushes her head down, “I should have heard you at the first, not to put others beyond myself. Not concerning everything I couldn’t control, but I just cannot slide everything I have faced. I cannot give a nonchalant response. You know who I am for years, and not ever at any time I can’t give shit to others.”

I let her pour all her exasperation. Then she continues, “but this should have not happened at this extent when frustration has heard and echoed at the very beginning.” She looks very blankly and tired, “it may sound cliché, but once in school, I studied very hard because I believed our people need more educated people. But it is not the lack of educated people the problem is. It is far more serious that when faced with money and fame, people start to change, even educated people!” She bursts out like she wants to cry that I could see her face has turned red. She is upset.

“Do you know what I am afraid the most?” she pauses awhile, then continues with a deep breath, “…I am afraid of becoming that one…, if, I remain to where I am now. Every single day I wonder whether I will become someone who is completely different.” Her eyes are weary as if demanding the answer. “Natsume? Why you are so quiet? You haven’t answered any questions yet. Offer me the reason to stay, I’m all ears.”

I watch her closely since I am rather cautious to say things. At this point, I know this girl only needs reassurance, validation, and affirmation from me to soothe her worry for this escalation of what people said as the dark age. I sighed. I want to say that to put herself at the first, but I don’t want to weight her. Not this time when she looks so fragile needed to be strengthened up. I want to be the one pulling her up like what she has always done for everyone else.

“For the first one, you must stay very long until you can see how things will change otherwise.” Like the change you have brought by pulling out the best of people around and not giving up on them. Subtle changes that began to rebellious boy I was that you wanted to befriend with. You were never unaffected with rumors.

“And for the other question, it is one of the silliest things I have ever heard that a respectable type like you will become such a hypocrite. As far as I know, you have not had any trait of those traitors.” Besides, I will not allow you to be that jerk. Not with me still hanging around to watch you.

She laughs and her mouth has crafted a smile, “thank you, Natsume, for always saying things rudely which has strangely comforted me.” She sips her ice coffee calmly with relieved. She has her eerie scene projecting a darkness she would perhaps come within, but it is relieving having someone who will count on you. “Glad to share this with you.”

Suddenly two other people approaching and waving their hand at far. “Hello Mikan! Hello Natsume! As expected from two top students in the academy coming on time!”

“Hi Ruka! Hi Hotaru!” She suddenly changes to a nice girl she has used to be seen.

“It is not we are coming on time, but you two coming late.” I said dryly as their sudden appearance cuts our conversation.

“Sorry we are late; it is the traffic and the protests against the government.”

She hugs her best friend once she comes then wraps her arm to her tight. “Must have been tired running from conference to conference, still you make it in the middle of your schedule. How’s your day, my friend?”

There again, her putting others before herself in someone’s behalf, which ever makes me pissed off, but loves her more instead.***

Sta cosa che ai fasci Fedez e Ferragni stessero sul culo per il loro "progressismo" in fatto a diritti civili e ora si accaniscono contro di loro perchè sono dei capitalisti ipocriti, se non fosse tragica perchè è la stessa gente che plaude la sfacciataggine di Briatore e continuerà a farlo... sarebbe ridicola... ma non tanto di più di Meloni o Salvini che difendono la famiglia tradizionale.
