According to the weather forecast, it was supposed to be heavy snow in Tokyo yesterday. Certainly, in the evening, sleet replaced light snow, and the snow that fell on my glasses, which I went out to post mail after dark, immediately turned into water droplets and clouded my view. I thought the water might freeze, so I put water in a kettle just in case. I also took out a shovel for scraping snow from the warehouse. However, hahaha, the wether forecast was off the maek. The bright day of National Holiday has come. In the shade of the trees in the garden, the snow was mottled and left.
In this evening, the book I had ordered arrived. However, I just bought books, and I couldn't get enough time to read them.
By the way, spaecially recently, I see the word "algo- rithm" here and there. It's a bit of a buzzword. It's a familiar word in computer programming, but in a nut- shell, it's an arithmetic method of how to systematize various sets of data to suit your purposes. Speaking of frequent occurrences, the Asahi Shimbun colum <Shuzo Yamakoshi's Media Private Review> on February 11th also states, "Above all, journalism ana- lyzes and reports on the actual conditions and effects of platform logic and algorithm. Is required."
I won't go into details about the algorithm here, but there is an interesting novel about entertainment that I suddenly remembered. I found it right away in my bookshell, so I'll put up an image. Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" (1988(, who wrote "The Da Vinci Code". I don't know if there is a Japanese translation, but this novel deals with algorithms. As stated on the cover, an adventure novel developed by the political center of United States and FBI and CIA giants over the ultimate AI code, a powerful, dangerous, and unbreakable code. As usual, a Japanese who is a strange and bizarre name casts a suspicious shadow. In the old days, it would be the subject of SF, but in today's IT-universal society, it is a realistic story. Interesting.
