How's everybody doing today? So my float story started about four years ago. I really didn't have any idea what floating was. I'm going to try to not let this massive timer affect me a little bit. But I had my first float over in Simana in Denver. Beautiful facility. Shout out, Heather. Where are they, Paul? But it wasn't necessarily a good experience, actually. I find that's pretty common sometimes. I kind of brought some stuff up that I was unaware I needed to kind of resolve. But I wanted to kind of start with an overview, because I'm like, how the hell do I summarize four years in 10 minutes? So in summary, in 2019, I had my first float. I quit my job two months later, like I was not messing around. But I think there was a lot more going on that I didn't realize within my personal life that needed some attention. And I think by pouring myself into an industry where I can help others, it absolutely helped me. And I think that's why a lot of us kind of do it, not in selfish ways, but in a way of like, we lift each other up, right? That's a lot about what this community is about. So I quit my job. I really didn't talk to very many people about it, because they literally thought I lost my mind. But when I tried to explain it into words, it's one of those things where I felt extremely led. And I don't even usually speak that way, especially four years ago. But there was something, there was some sort of pull that I couldn't ignore. And trust me, I tried for a little bit. But the more research that I did, and the community being so loving as they are, after my first float, I called Samana back and I was like, is your owner available? And I'm like, if not complaining, there's nothing wrong. I absolutely loved the experience, but it's speaking to me. And it's not stopping. So, and they're like, oh, actually we are hosting the float center in four weeks. And I'm like, I think I could, I live in Michigan. Sorry, I didn't put say that yet. First time speaking, so bear with me. So I live in Michigan. So I was visiting my sister out in Denver. She was going through a really hard time. I also found out in 2019 that I'm an empath. I didn't know what that meant either.  And it helps you navigate it with other people, too, because I wasn't raised in an environment that was very open to that language, intuition, any of that. So the float tank for me woke me up. I was just like, oh, that's what it's like to have a nervous system that's calm. I think that was the biggest thing for me as I was like, something's not right. Like why did that 60, 90 minutes, actually they do 90 minutes out there. Why did that 90 minutes impact me in such a deep way? So it got me very curious. So I started really diving into self help, self care. I started therapy as soon as I quit my job. I was like, I'm going to start therapy because I think this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I was like, I'm 35, I've never owned a business, but I can't let this go. So I really was on a mission. So fast forward a little bit. The pandemic obviously affected it a lot. I had quit my job in November of 2019 and I was just all in. I opened 14 months later, so it was very quick, but we had some glitches and that's a big part of my story.  So fast forward to 2020. I was supposed to sign my lease March of, excuse me, March 13th. It was a Friday the 13th and I was like, nope. I don't know if you remember that week, but that was the week the World Health Organization was like, this is a global pandemic. And I'm like, oh, well, it'll be done by December, right? So I decided to hold off for four months. Investments dipped.  But so I had to do, I didn't want to start on the wrong track. So I halted everything for four months.  You know what I mean? I'm starting to and that's why I love this community. I've just opened up to so many things where I'm like, gosh, it's all in me. Everything that I need is here. However, after I signed that five year lease, I had a four day panic attack. So I have anxiety if you couldn't tell, but I'm working through it. And I have my modalities. Thank God for the float center, but I had about a four day panic attack where I could not sleep.  Is this not what I'm supposed to be doing? Like I'm feeling like, you know, I've been leading this whole time to this big thing and I'm going to do it. And I quit my job and I was there for 12 years and making great money. But there was no fulfillment. There was no I didn't feel it just felt like I was watching my life or observing my life outside of my body, if that makes sense. I don't know. So anyway, so I signed the lease. I have a four day panic attack. I tell my then husband, I say, take me to the hospital. Something's not right. I just want before construction starts for two weeks. I just want to know why I'm having these feelings. Like I'm talking closing the throat, elevated heart rate, you know, but I was very calm in a way too, because I felt safe, but I felt like there was something wrong. I was really picking up on something that I couldn't ignore either. So I asked him to take me to the hospital in July of 2020. It was a weird time in the hospital. I went right up into the urgent care and was I wasn't able to bring him with me because of COVID. So I just told him what I did. I said, I just did something big and I kind of slept for four days and I'm not really sure. I just want to have a full check me out, like give me a full work up because I have a business to open and I have a lot to do in two weeks. So I was ready. I'm open as they come. So anyway, well, unfortunately, I didn't know at the time that my then husband wasn't the person I thought he was. So when I was growing and focusing on growth, he was scared to death because he would he was doing things that he shouldn't have been doing. I've never talked about this, especially for the microphone. So bear with me. But he had mentioned something to the girl outside. And it was very odd to me in that moment because I was like, what did he just say? Because the girl went to the girl behind the counter and whispered something to her. And that didn't sit well with me. And I felt like a little bit strange and I didn't like that. But I was very open. I'm like, here's my my family medical history, mental health history, like check it all. Well, as soon as I got off the elevator, I knew what floor I was on. So I went to the psychiatric ward for seven days. That was interesting. I'm going to write a book for sure because that experience was wild.  Like I embraced it. I immediately thought, well, I called my husband and I said, what did you say? And he didn't want to tell me. So two years after two years after that, he finally confessed when I caught him with this other mess that we'll get to in a second. But he told them I was seeing things that weren't there. But unfortunately, if you're with somebody that doesn't have any depth there with like signs or poles or like, you know, self growth and they have secrets, it's it's it's scary. It was scaring him. So he was really just sort of prepping the end, I think.  Because I found myself in a situation where nobody saw it, you know, when you're when your lawyer tells you to take an STD test after you catch your husband doing what he was doing for over a decade. That's heavy. That I didn't know, you know, but floating. Let's tie it back to floating. Floating woke me up though. I it really allowed me to like take time for myself and understand that like the feelings that I was having weren't normal. And I do need to do something about it, but you've got to protect yourself. You got to watch who you surround yourself with because you could have so much good and so much, you know, drive to do the right thing and be a good person. And if you're with somebody that doesn't have that outlook, they can really hold it against you. And I feel like that's what happened.  I definitely take it seriously.  I never, you know, I don't not listen to my intuition now. Trust me on that one. So that's something I can really thank him for. That whole situation has helped me grow so much and my center is killing it. We've been open for three years. Like I said, it was a faster. I think it was a divine thing that happened where it was just like something big is gonna happen. You need this space of healing for yourself. I don't know what I would have done if I was at Quicken Loans going through that mess. I think it would have been really a whole lot harder. So I was able to use the float tanks, the massage room, the sauna and it helped. And I walk the walk and people can feel that. People walk into my center and it's like, we know not everybody has a nice, calm household to go home to, right? So just even strangers, like just smile at a stranger. Like just you don't know what they're going through. You don't know what they've been through or what they have to handle five minutes after that smile they give you. And that ripple effect is what it's about. So anyway, thank you for letting me share this story. This isn't gonna be the end for me. I have a poll to do coaching and personal development coaching. And that's something I'm definitely gonna pursue as well as speaking, even though it was a little shaky today, but God, those kinks out. Speaking and writing a book and helping mentor women out of situations that absolutely they don't belong in or deserve. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


htmlid update. I'm Remy, htmlid, and today I will speak about a few things. So let's start. First off, I want to welcome Pacquiao Nogushi to the core team. It was a long process to have him join the core team. We even got to create a confidential issue to get his attention, but it was just that he was very busy and didn't see all the emails we sent him. So yeah, very, very glad to have Pacquiao in the core team. He's been very helpful in issues and contributing great stuff. So that's super cool. In 10.2, we merged 55 major quests from the community. Feel free to check out the spreadsheet. I highlighted two major quests below. So the first one is from Jacobo, who is a seasoned contributor now. So it's a Robocop rule, a static analysis rule to improve our code base. And that's super cool. And the other one is from George Andrinopoulos, who also submits a great backstage and technical depth solving major quests. And this one is about creating new services to encapsulate the the destruction of issues and magic quests. Thank you. Okay, the next stop is in the performance front. So as all the teams, all the backend development teams in general at GitLab, we worked on improving the performance and this quarter. So Genshin in particular worked on improving the branches page performance. So I think I mentioned that in the last update, but it wasn't yet deployed, basically. So now it's being deployed as of 10.2. And the improvement is 25% approximately. So that's great. And Genshin didn't stop there. There's a second improvement that will come in 10.3. And we even have more improvements in mind for the future. So thanks, Genshin. And yeah, this will, this will even improve in 10.3. Triage automation. So I mentioned that in my last update too. So Triage automation, so Mark is working a lot on the new GitLab triage project, which is a gem that you can use in any project in GitLab. And we are actually already using it to automatically triage GitLab CE issues, as well as GitLab Runner and GitLab.com support tracker. And we even had Alessio from the CICD team that contributed a new feature that was needed for them. And yeah, you can use, so it's a gem that you can very easily use in your pipelines. You would just have to define your triage policies in a YAML file. So very similar to a GitLab CI YAML file, basically. That was one of the Q4 key results for us. And we still need to document it and to communicate around it to really maybe this more known feature. Yeah, definitely. We really need to communicate on this because this is a really powerful yet simple project. And that's really, I think that's really just the start. There's a lot of features that we can add to that and improvements. So yeah, we'll definitely do a good first. GitLab QA. So as I also said in the last update, GitLab QA is getting a lot more love lately. So we started the documentation just with a visual explanation of the GitLab QA architecture because GitLab QA is actually a few things. It's a gem. It's also there's also a part in the GitLab CE and EE projects. And there's a lot of Docker images involved too. So it's great. At least for me, it was great to see it visually. So I hope that can help others. And then the build team presented the training on GitLab QA. Thanks, Jan, Jan Baum from the build team. So the video and slides are available. It's really useful if you want to contribute to GitLab QA as well as understand how it works. So yeah, there's a lot of activity in GitLab QA. I've contributed a scenario to test additional upgrade from CE to EE. So it's very basic for now, but at least it checks that you can upgrade from CE to EE. Then Grigorz improved the package QA job, which was called something else. But anyway, now it's called package QA. So it's a manual job in every GitLab CE or EE merge request. And if you play it, it will trigger a pipeline in omnibus. And then in the end, it will run the QA scenarios. And what's great now is that the package QA manual job that you played at the start in GitLab, in your GitLab CE or EE merge request, will now wait for the QA scenarios to actually finish. And that was not the case previously. So it was making the job a lot less useful. So now it's great because if your merge request breaks the current QA scenarios, you will have the feedback in your merge request directly. So just keep in mind that this job is still manual because the QA, the whole trigger through omnibus and the QA scenarios run are quite long right now, still a bit long. And we are not sure we want to just enable it by default for omnibus request. But yeah, we have a plan to make GitLab QA production ready. Thanks to Gregorz, who is a lot involved in GitLab QA. So there's a lot of improvements there. Testing, so testing as you can see, I didn't talk about testing yet. So that means that it's getting better. So I checked and we had only 11 test related merge requests in Thunder 2 probably. I didn't check the link but in the last few weeks. And what that means is that we have a lot less transit failures for a few weeks and even months now. So it's really good for the productivity of the team in general. And I think that's because of the retries that we do at the example and job levels in the CI. But I think that's also due to the new high CPU runals that we are using. And as you can see in the graph, the test runs are a lot more stable than before. If you look at my old days from a few months ago, you can compare that it was going like up and down. It was not stable at all. So right now it's very stable and at least that's cool. So yeah, last time Cid suggested to me we could use preemptive instances and parallelize even more because of the cost cut. So I've created an issue and it's still discussed. Apparently it's not coming tomorrow but that's something that we should keep in mind. And then, yeah, the best at the end. So we now have a script to automatize the CE to emerge. And that's a script that you can run manually if you want. But the point has always been to run this script in a CI pipeline, scheduled pipeline. So right now we run the script automatically every three hours. And what it does is it's merging CE to EE and it gathers the conflict. And it will then it just push the branch. It creates a new merge request and it pinged people to resolve the conflict, to help resolve the conflicts. And that's great. And yeah, if there's already a merge in progress, obviously the job will not create a new merge request because it would be useless. But yeah, that's really useful. The people that are involved in the daily CE to EE merge request are really liking it. If you look at the CE to EE channel in Slack, we'll see. And yeah, there will be some improvements that will come shortly. The first one will be just to post the link to the created merge request in this channel in Slack. And also probably to assign the merge request directly to the first person that has to resolve the conflict. And then the person will assign to the next one in Slack that has to resolve the conflict. So yeah, that was it. I'm really excited about this automatic CE to EE merge. That was a long, very long needed improvement. Are the QA video and blog linked from somewhere, for example, the docs? That's a good question. I don't think so. I'm not sure we should ask the build team and maybe Jan in particular, but I will make sure it is linked from the documentation, definitely. And yeah, how do you see the number of merge requests? Yeah, you notice that it's declining. I noticed it too. So I think there's a few things to note. A few months ago, we had a lot of merge requests for internationalization. And that was so now it's been externalized basically to the crowding service. So we have a lot less community confusion for that. So that was kind of, I mean, we could probably count all the contributions like the translation contributions in crowding. We could count them as community contributions because they are. But unfortunately, there are not content in this graph. So that could be a reason. I think it makes sense to look at the code. It's great that we have crowd-source translation, but we have crowd-source translation. I think we can leave it at that. I think we should look at the unique offers of code that got merged every month. Yeah. And yeah, I think maybe also the teams, I don't explain 100% the decrease, but maybe that's because our teams are more busy on features for GitLab and have less time reviewing community merge requests. That being said, I think the total number of community merge requests that are open right now is kind of stable. And I checked yesterday, we have also a lot of work in progress merge request in the community. So yeah, I'm not totally sure why it's decreasing. Do you think the number for December will still go up? Yeah, for December, yeah, it will go up. It will still go up a bit, but not a lot because we're already the 5th of December. So yeah, I'm not sure about that. Okay, thanks for the context and hopefully we should make it a bigger priority to focus on the request coaching. Yeah, yeah, maybe we could do that. Yeah. So Tony is asking, can we exclude the previously translation from this chart? Yeah, we could, but I don't know if it's worth spending time on it, but yeah, we could. I think you are looking at the closed ones. Yeah, they are 39 merged. But yeah, thanks for all your questions. I think if there are no more questions, I will give you back 12 minutes of your time and see you in the team call. So yeah, thanks everyone. Thanks, Hermie.


alright so an update we are about two days away from the final deadline and we just finished all the graphics so here are all the graphics it's so fun the intro graphic or the front book cover chapter one levels of perception the tree human in the analogy chapter two seat theory and the trajectory mechanics chapter three the edge and the sponge theory and then chapter four portals and code update chapter five inclusive stakeholders so long to get right this symbiosis between fungi and trees so long to research to make sure that was alright it's so important for inclusive stakeholders especially since the next graphics the total job space and then the AI coach graphic turned out great and then follow up to that graphic is visualizing consciousness evolution and this is where we talk about the hierarchies and then make a little remark there about your just person how enlightened is the richest person yeah sorting algorithm magic tricks still looking good switch this out for some cells instead of instead of O2 and CO2 it's not CO2 itself that was its own thing is that I I had to change the color here because when you if you have CO2 and then you have O2 this I used to have light blue so I had to go and change all of them to that purple because that's the same oxygen that's can't be a different color done CO2 and O2 it had to be the same color and then yeah consciousness the calculus of consciousness to integral derivative and then the dress such an important metaphysical enlightening event that we breezed past and then nine another last bit on identity and porosity and this is kind of like the Finn chapter 10 on infinity this is recursion little metaphysics and then this is craziness this is the infinite symphony and the designer worlds yeah so you got the you know we're grabbing maths towns videos for me to love you guys math town did you such a good job on the mandelbrot fractal zoom but for the chapter videos which I still have to do all those little three minute chapter videos after I finish writing in all the like quotes and short words so few words I'm gonna use but yeah so from that source point right there refracts into the light spectrum and all those little visible light spectrum and all those little pixels our little universes that bubble off and then here are some examples of universes you know this one's ours ours has this yin yang flux ascension style dynamic James Maxwell and the electromagnetic equations and then everything's in the knot of life and then we have this strange attractor that all eight billion of us are playing in a symphony towards and then that's at the Godhead but in order to get to the Godhead and go under the recursive function we have to get through all the Fermi filters asteroids bombs planetary health unlocking the code of life and artificial intelligence and robotics so yeah so this was a lot of fun let's show you of course gotta show you the closing graphic to yeah so the project was a ridiculous amount of fun and I love all the brilliant people that I got to read and learn from and study along the way and distill the most brilliant things it's just been such a beautifully intuitive and just grounding creative process that so few people get to go and embark on and I was blessed enough to be able to do so and it's only the beginning because we have massive further the Pixar and Disney vacation of all of this profundity with chimps and with the anthology which tentatively is called superhuman just dope and with all of these badass influencer interviews where they're gonna be asked questions about the nature of reality it's gonna be so great so yeah it's just interesting that you know the forcing functions really interesting because if I if I show you here like one of my last distillation so these are all these are all little Evernote they're like little Evernote windows basically and that I have opened separately and so a couple of them are the most recent distillations one of them is my influences list one of them is like the absolute top top things that I need to do absolutely right now for the project but let me show you I'll show you HLP distillation number 17 and then so that way you can kind of see like yeah synthesizing the sling the most profound things I've learned in my life into art you know so I have this little breakdown right I love this gates code about building the upstream free work and then slotting the knowledge and information and it's basically what I've been doing this whole time understand the deepest patterns communicate the me life after the world so I'm not gonna include so this is chapter one levels of perception of every single one of these is broken down the chapter one and then blot chapter two and then blot chapter three this year the edge and then blah right and so right now I'm totally not gonna be using all of it but but I will probably be using like these top quotes like trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky Khalil Gibran all our wisdom is stored in the trees Santosh Kahlua right so and then that second graphic with the humans is the human HLP Saundra the realization that each random past by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own by John Koenig and actually learn that that Saundra quote like six years ago or something like right so closer to the beginning of the dictionary of Sears Arrows and him publishing all these profound neologisms but I'm not gonna be using all of this stuff it's just too much stuff I love Helen Keller's quote here life is either daring adventure or nothing at all Nikola Teslas the energy of a single thought me determine the motion of a universe anyway so I have to really really be selective because I don't want to have that many words in the project but you know what's funny you like look at this and you're like you know like this is this is all the stuff you're trying to condense like 8 chapter 9 David Bohm's quote consciousness is never statical complete but is an unending process of movement and unfoldment and you know it's so interesting is that even here you get to infinity right the last chapter and like then you're like wow good he made it all the way and then you go and you're like wait that was just HLP distillation 17 it's like yeah this is HLP distillation 16 I love that good they quote the perfect educational lecture belongs in the artist's sphere of work so but then it's funny because you come here and you're like this is all completely different information for seed theory for that edge portals for inclusive stakeholders for AI coach and there's there's this is number 16 so there's there's there's 17 distillations like this and specifically HLP distillation number two is the one that I poured a lot of the last couple months into like organizing and sorting that one's really has a lot of stuff in it but then I have all of these you know all that all the evernote files I have 4,000 evernote files and so I distilled the most profound things into another HLP distillation on Google Drive and I have 40 of those files but those aren't as salient because those are everywhere from like four years ago three years ago two years ago one year ago so those aren't as salient as like for example HLP distillation like you know 16 here you can see it has the integral in the derivative of consciousness well I only intuited that not that long ago maybe like a couple months ago or something like that and Isaac Newton's a huge part of this project with the refraction of light into the visible light spectrum also the classical mechanics foundation they set with the laws of motion because that's all about trajectory mechanics and seed theory and then obviously the calculus with the abnes so it's crazy that you know I got pretty much like 48 hours left and there's basically the images are done and then the words I have yet to fit in to the the project and then I have yet to make the three-minute video for each chapter and then I've yet to make the 25 minute total book video or however long it'll be and there's 48 hours left so I got a lot of work to do but there's nothing there's nothing in this world there's nothing in this world quite like locking yourself in a burning building and being genius enough to figure out the puzzle to get yourself out there's nothing as profound and important as that so you gotta shut they gotta set a shot clock you gotta work your ass off up until that shot clock but then the whole Timur bin Ted talk with the forcing function that procrastination gives to actually execute is super interesting and important it's like super powerful and really uninvestigated so far but this is gonna be massive and I'm so grateful and pumped so I love you very much thanks for sort of watching this breakdown because I knew that it was gonna be important for me to make this documentation just you know two days out so that I you know I have something recalling this process and so I can share it with people I'm gonna make videos breaking it down as well when I get to LA but yeah I just moved the the rental car information into my Google Drive folder so that I could more easily access it but yeah I've been pulling these down off of the wall slowly all those little sheets that I organized up and then I've been pulling them down over here and slowly synthesizing these so crazy bro so crazy that's it it's it hello grateful super grateful for my mom and the foundation that she's instilled so that I could take the baton pass and go off and do this and my grandma uncle and everything that they did and all my teachers and influences in my life until this point so profound a single Inca and go to my Buddha and there about a Buddhism and you know Advaita Vedanta and Sri Aurobindo and Rupert Spira and Bernardo Castro on ontology and metaphysical idealism like everyone from you know Vivian Ming five years ago max my human potential neuroscience and AI well you know to Bethancourt and Bethancourt in the you know biotechnology like Ron Vagus helping me for 18 months you know power through you know 600 interviews in just those two years and then or Shapira for bringing me into a the depths of silence and consciousness and cellular immobility experientially and then Alexa my ex-girlfriend who of three years who helped also with example I mean she's the one that she's the one that helped with the forcing function of getting me to learn sketch I saw her doing it obviously and then other people like you know Tarangala and Kayla sharp look thank you for refusing to edit all the simulation videos and making me pushing me to learn how to use premiere to edit video because one that edited all of our interviews that weren't livestreamed which was a fuckload that I did on the road you know some of the other you know best friends growing up Max Chad leave and Greg Harner make fix so a channel cost and which is he all the homies here but also the homies that I met in Minneapolis I'm still in the bay area massively influential on my life and thinking first robotics especially and then you know in the bay area with Jackson Blasensky all things applied crypto so so beautiful and you know Jordan rain for really reeling me into that there about a Buddhism and and yeah Tarangala with his just incredible artistic eye and just so much else like Andrew Karsh and his push for rich patrons to actually you know make a big splash on the world because he's already doing it with the SDGs trying to unlock those trillions of dollars and you know Wayne Osborne's been very motivational in that sense as well junior with inclusive stakeholders such a crucial thing I would have never figured out about my core his own networks fungal route networks if it wasn't for learning about inclusive stakeholder and then Eric Weinstein in the portal so profound and important I mean all the ancient spiritual traditions reading the Olden New Testament Jordan Peterson for his biblical lectures and just understanding those stories and profundity of being the highest possible caliber of morality Confucius wrote about it a lot been studying him lots a lot as well I'll show you a little bit of the influences list but this is the where it's at right now but I've been moving things around so much it's crazy yeah so Christ Buddha going to Lao Tzu Confucius Michelangelo Shio Bindo the mother El Fossa Tom Campbell this theory of everything Juniun inclusive stakeholders Suzanne Simard I put up it so high up because I fucking love her man she's the one that did the radioactive carbon isotope trade radioactive carbon isotope tracing for uncovering how trees communicate via those like original networks two-way resource exchange John smart transcension hypothesis clear gravestone that Chris Collins barrel dynamics Ken Wilbur a quadrant all levels pure till our day shard in John Gibson Jordan Peterson Walter Michelle the walk Marshmallow experiment Danny cannon Kahneman in Westversky Eric Weinstein you'll address Tyson Carl Sagan on the science communication front Tony Robbins on inspiring people to peak performance Joe Rogan for all that he's done for our world and bringing that knowledge out Douglas Hofstetter's profoundly tunneled Hoffman these two guys are profoundly impacted me conscious agent theory Charles Darwin George Hagel of course and dialectics MC Escher one of the most profound artists has ever lived David Goggians get past that 40% or heraclitus permanentus Irvin Laszlo Rupert Spiro raw and Dino Massaro he's done such a good job communicating spirituality Carl Jung Sigmund Freud Carl Rogers Alfred Adler Victor Franco Emmanuel Kant David Boom John Wheeler Alan Turing John von Neumann universal constructor and then this is where we get into physics Eric Weinstein's quote about physics Kurt Jammengill asked him on his theories of everything show like when did you escape consensus reality and when did you like really start taking a theory of everything seriously and that's what he said that when I started taking physics seriously so my gosh only at the beginning Isaac Newton Michael Faraday James Maxwell Albert Einstein Nikola Tesla Paul Dirac Nicholas Copernicus Tom Starrs old burden genius Hugh ever Brice DeWitt Erwin Schrodinger Werner Heisenberg Bernard Riemann Blaise Pascal Godford deep knees Klee Irwin Sydney Brenner Brent Gertzel Paul Stamets John Conway laser Kowski IJ good that's crazy yay curse while mama knew you on so happy I know somebody super indigenous like mama and Joseph Campbell jumpy so many people will frown like and I mean there's so many people all right this is a little taste so because I don't even think I have version control it'd be interesting if I'd version control on the influences list this shit's long there's probably approaching a thousand people in this list all hell on common people that I've studied anyway all right love you very much thank you whole pile of perception impacts you positively and also that everything else that we do impacts you positively brings you great value and that you achieve all of your goals and you investigate consciousness and understand the nature of reality love you very much contemplate infinity


Hey, I wouldn't ask you thinking about Maybe I'm strong Jeffery seven to get that deal Past off season. I never doubted that deal was gonna get done. But he did leave you hanging on the sidelines Yeah, you're waiting to give him a high-five When did that happen what was that it was playing fun?  He just walked by me and I just I just get my hand out there Zub came over and he was laughing hysterically because he saw the whole thing happen to zoom down Zubar. Yeah, so that he came over and gave me the high-five and and I had no idea that he was Mike either I Had no idea and I went over him and said what I said like Because I mean in all reality me Against big Jeff, what am I gonna be able to do to Jeff right right?   Or fill his car with peanuts or you know, and so that's what I said to him And then I don't know what it was but the video came out Yes, I remember thinking They got this all Off all bright


What would you do if you couldn't fail? Hi there, I'm Stephanie Slokum, founder of EngineersRising.com. I'm excited to be a guest contributor for this week's Monday Morning Motivator hosted by the Engineering Management Institute. Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite quotes. There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. Nelson Mandela We play small in a million different ways every day. Not speaking up when we have an idea because we're afraid of what someone else might think. Not grabbing on to a new professional opportunity with both hands because we think we aren't ready or that we don't yet have enough experience. Hiding or downplaying our strengths because we are working in an organization that we don't believe sees their value. Not asking for what we really need to thrive at work because we're afraid of judgment. Staying extremely busy with things that don't actually matter to us. Seeing an injustice and turning away from it, telling ourselves that's not my problem. Putting off that hard conversation we've been meaning to have. We play small in a million different ways every day. How are you playing small? What would it look like if you took just one of those things and started playing to your full capacity? Standing up, speaking out and going after those big dreams of yours. What would you do if you couldn't fail? What would you do if you didn't fear other people's judgment? Our quote today comes from Nelson Mandela. And if you don't know his story, he spent three decades in prison because of the strength of his convictions. Three decades because he refused to play small even at tremendous cost to himself. Now, you and I, we don't have to go to jail to play bigger. Yet, we constantly come up with all these reasons why we need to settle and play small. So today, I challenge you to join me in committing to playing full out. Speak up for what you want.  Writing down that secret big dream that you've been holding close to your heart and then doing one thing today that gets you one step closer to achieving it. You playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won't feel uncomfortable around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same. What would you do today if you stopped waiting for someone else's permission to play bigger? Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's feeling that fear.  So I ask you this, how are you going to go for it today?

Hello, welcome everyone to theCUBE's presentation of the AWS Tech Partner Showcase. This is season one, episode one kicking off a new series covering exciting partners from the AWS ecosystem to talk about accelerated media supply chain volume and velocity with AWS. I'm your host, John Furrier with theCUBE, and today we're excited to have Jeff Staden, who's the chief marketing officer with SDVI, talking about media supply chain optimization. Jeff, thanks for coming on. You bet, thanks, John, appreciate you having me. This has been a great series really focusing on the hot tech partners in the ecosystem of AWS and cloud. Cloud has been a big part of all kinds of, kind of, I will say, optimizations and unlocking new potentials. It seems to be the theme for all the hot startups. Take a minute to explain what you guys do at SDVI, what you're all about, what you're positioning, and why are you winning. Yeah, thanks, John. SDVI is all about those things you just mentioned in terms of helping our customers really optimize what we call the media supply chain all the way from the moment content arrives at a media facility through all of the various versioning activities that have to happen to create the multiple distribution packages that are then sent out to all of their distribution partners. It's a ton of work that has to happen to get content. What UNIC on TV has gone through a lot of processing to get it to that point. And now to get it on any device and on any platform. And we help our customers really optimize those processes. We help them take advantage of cloud technology so that it's much more efficient. They're much more responsive to what's happening in the market and they're much more agile with how they're able to take advantage of new opportunities. The thing about the cloud trend has been interesting because you see what happened in the developer market with early days of AWS. I didn't have to provision a data center, I go to the cloud, put my credit card down, I'm in the market, next thing you know I'm a, I'm Dropbox or I'm Airbnb or I'm doing some really cool things on top of someone else's big CapEx spend. How is cloud native media changing the supply chain impact? And specifically what areas are impacted the most? I think one of the areas that's most impacted is that natural elasticity and scalability that you get with the cloud that you didn't have in your traditional on-premise data centers that were used by media companies to process all of their content. You had essentially a fixed capacity that you had to deploy in your data center. And in many cases, media companies would deploy that technology assuming the worst case. So that sort of designing for peak level load which meant most of the time you have a lot of underutilized assets. And when something big came along you might not have had the capacity to take advantage of. One of the great benefits of moving to the cloud is that now you can actually scale up or scale down the infrastructure that you need to meet whatever the demand is at that moment in time. And it's, so you get very, very good asset utilization obviously you get very good performance and this ability to precisely match the cost to the amount and value of the content that you're putting through the system. That's one of the things we hear a lot about is in the cloud, undifferentiated heavy lifting, automation, focus more on the creative. You guys are focused on optimization and you mentioned some of the things about right sizing or maybe optimizing. What is the media supply chain optimization equation? What is, how does it, how does your combined solution with SDVI on AWS enable optimization? Well, what we're doing is we're helping to help our customers to A, understand what are the right processes that they want to have? So basically take a look at are there workflows that can be redefined as we move to the cloud? And then once those processes are identified, what are the right resources to apply to those processes? Where can I use an automated tool running on an AWS server somewhere? And where do I still need to use humans and how can I make those humans much more efficient? How can I help improve their productivity by using some of the data that comes from the automated processing? So the SDVI platform tries to bring all of that together, help our customers essentially re-architect their supply chain to take advantage of all the benefits the cloud offers, but also make the manual tasks that will still inevitably be part of a supply chain make those manual tasks more efficient too. Could you explain the differences on the old way of doing things beyond premise, as you mentioned earlier, kind of the old way and the new way with the cloud-based for deploying some of the technical infrastructure needed to support your customers' media supply chain? As you pointed out, it's kind of, I won't say complicated, there's a lot of moving parts, but what specifically is the difference in cloud-based and on-premises old versus new for deploying the technical infrastructure needed to support customers? There's a few things. One is speed and flexibility, or two things, speed and flexibility. Speed meaning I can get more content through my environment because I can scale up the resources in AWS to take advantage of all their capacity and all of their elasticity that they provide. But I also have a lot of flexibility. I can scale up, I can scale down, I can change the tools that I'm using if I want. I have this freedom to select the best tool for each job in the supply chain. And when I had an on-premise environment, I was most likely fixed with what I had already selected because I had licenses that I had to try to burn off. When you move to the cloud and you move to more of a consumption model where you're only paying for what you're using and you're only paying for it as you consume it, we can do the same thing with a lot of the tools that media companies are using so that they're only paying for the actual use of the tool. They're not procuring licenses, they're not managing a new deployment. They can turn it on, try it out, they can experiment more. They can, as folks in the cloud world like to say, they can fail fast, but it's true. They can try new things without a huge upfront investment. And then if they like it, they can scale it up from there. Talk about the platform for a minute. Now that we talked about the market, we're going to get into the Amazon relationship in a second, but talk about your platform. What is it? And what's the key to success? What's the secret sauce? Why do your customers like it? Why is it working well? Think of the SDVI platform, which we call Rally, as kind of combining a number of capabilities along the lines of we help orchestrate a lot of the activities that are happening throughout a supply chain. We're provisioning the resources that are needed to support those activities. We're provisioning and deploying and activating the applications that are needed to run on that infrastructure to do that job. So think of the totality of all the jobs that have to happen in a supply chain. And the Rally platform is guiding those tasks, orchestrating those jobs, monitoring each of the steps in the chain, alerting people or operators when there's an issue that needs to be addressed manually or there's an error somewhere in the system. And then as you go through the whole supply chain, we're collecting all of this data about what's working and what's not working so that we can help our customers further optimize by using all of that data to make better decisions going forward. What's the customer profile look like? Is it the high end you mentioned before you came on camera? Warmup, Water Brothers, big media coming. Those got big workflows, very complicated. What's the persona? Does it go down to the long tail? Do you look at new brands emerging? Certainly digital, I can almost see cloud native. I mean, on your website it says cloud native media, love that. I mean, cloud native, what does that even mean? It sounds great. It means agility, more startups going to be using it. Are you seeing new kinds of brands emerge? What's the balance of the persona? Who needs your solution if they're watching it out there? Yeah, so we did start with some of the larger media companies in the world, which is on one level, a little unique for a startup to have some of its first customers be major companies like Warner Media at the time and Discovery at the time now combined. Sky, Fox Television, which is now Walt Disney. So we did start with a lot of those larger media companies who really had an incredible amount of content that they were trying to push through their supply chain and really had a lot of motivation to find more efficiency out of their whole operations. But what we're finding now over time is that different types of customers are coming to us. You mentioned companies that are in the digital realm because once they've got your content, once you've got your content in the cloud, why take it out? Why not do all of the processing and packaging and delivery from the cloud, which many of the digital properties do? We've also started to see a utilization of the rally platform by some of the studios in our market, in particular Sony Pictures is using the rally platform to help with its content deliveries. So really any company that has a content that they're trying to package up and prepare to hand off to delivery partners, those are companies that can benefit from optimizing that supply chain. Awesome, I'm looking forward to digging into it. Talk about the relationship with AWS. Obviously you're part of their showcase here featuring some of the leaders and companies in their industry, media entertainment obviously. What's that relationship look like between SDVI and AWS? So interestingly, we've been a partner with AWS almost since the beginning of our company. We started with a cloud-based approach. We're kind of lucky from the standpoint that we didn't have a legacy business that we had to protect or that we had to migrate to the cloud. We really could start from scratch, designing and architecting a solution that's truly cloud native, literally born in the cloud. And so together we worked very closely with AWS to make sure that the way we were architecting our system and our approach followed the best practices that AWS has well documented through their whole review process. We continue to work very closely with them to take advantage of new technologies that they innovate and bring to the cloud environment. We try to innovate on top of them. And so it's been a very close relationship with AWS and one that I think has benefited both of us from the standpoint of our ability to help bring customers and bring their supply chains to the cloud and AWS providing that infrastructure that is so critical to executing. Yeah, Jeff, great point. And also as you're in the cloud, one of the things that's clear historically, at least when you look back at the cloud 1.0 developers and enterprise data centers is with an API economy and you have Lambda and functions and all these cool tools and now generate AI, there's going to be a lot more partnering and integration with other companies. Can you share your thoughts on the ecosystem, the importance of that with partners, customers working together? Because your customers probably going to have other stuff in the cloud too. So there's platforms, there's tools and there's applications. How does STV-I bring these partners together within the cloud? Now, great question, John. And the importance of an ecosystem can't be understated because a media company is going to use a lot of different tools from several different vendors. And they may want to change those tools depending on what kind of job they're doing or maybe some new innovation that has come to the market. Think of Rally really the STV-I Rally product as a platform that brings together the kind of underlying AWS building blocks and then allows these third-party software vendors to deploy their application on the platform so they can be integrated into the supply chain. Today we've got over 50 third-party companies who have their applications available through Rally and most of them are available on a consumption basis, meaning you're only paying for the minutes that you use to run your content through those tools. And so it's been a very big part of our go-to-market strategy to embrace this ecosystem of partners and make their tools, make their applications available to our customers so they can integrate them into the supply chain without having to do any work just by basically selecting them from the Rally platform. What I love about the innovation is the supply chain really kind of highlights media supply chain, kind of the word highlights, kind of workflows, you think factory, things moving around, a lot of moving parts, things getting built. As it grows up, I'm sure you're going to have to deal with secure media supply chain because securing the software supply chain is the hottest topic right now in the open-source community and certainly with fakes and all kinds of media rights coming around the corner, I'm sure there's going to be a secure media supply chain coming. Any thoughts on that? Obviously it's something that people are talking about but not yet in the market. What's your thoughts on that? Well, security is a very hot topic for media companies. It's one of the things I care about most. It's how secure is your environment, how secure is the storage and the access to the content. Obviously you want supply chains to be secure, to only allow access to operators who are truly authenticated and approved to do their part in the supply chain. From our perspective, STBI, we've actually gone through a SOC2 audit and we do that every year to keep that current, to really hone and validate our support for those security standards that are out there. And we work very closely with AWS to make sure that we're implementing security and access control technologies that they have and we're taking best advantage of them. Jeff, final point as we wrap up here last minute. Share some anecdotes what you hear from customers about the product for the people watching that maybe a prospector might want to check out STBI. What are some of the highlights, sound bites, or testimonials you hear from customers? This thing never breaks, it's always reliable. I mean, what are they saying? What we hear most often is that many customers go into a project like moving their supply chain to the cloud and they go into that with the mindset of getting more efficiency out of their operations. What they find after they do it is while they did get efficiency, what they really got was agility, the ability to respond faster to changes in the market. And I'll give you some anecdotes. We've had one customer who went from, when they received content, it took them two hours to process every hour of incoming content, to validate it, make sure it was correct, it had all the right information. That has now gone to 20 minutes. So now those operators are three times more productive than they were before. We've had another customer tell us that what used to take them 16 hours can now be done in four minutes. And we had one customer or two customers that had a project and when they analyzed what it was going to take to do that project, it was going to take a team of five up to 60 days to execute this project. And when working with us, they were able to complete it in about 18 hours. What takes weeks now is days, days now are hours, hours are minutes. This is the new efficiency. This is the new model. This is the new supply chain. That's right. Jeff Steadman, Chief Marketing Officer at SDVI. Congratulations on being a hot startup and also industry leader and featured here talking about accelerated media supply chains velocity and volume with AWS. Thanks for coming on. Thank you, John. Appreciate it. Okay. Thank you everyone. I'm John Furrier, your host. This was industry tech partners showcase season one, episode one, the new series covering exciting partners from the ADOS ecosystem. I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching.


There's our titular character himself. Look at the little tyke. Let it be known, this is the only happiness that Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer will have in basically this entire film. The parents are thrilled for about five full seconds before Rudolph's nose starts blinking like a blinking beacon. How can you overlook that? Income Santa in hunting gear, I guess? I don't know what he's doing. Right away, he's put off by Rudolph's hideous nose. Great bouncing iceberg. Keep in mind, Rudolph's been on Earth for about six minutes now and Santa's already laying into the kid, grilling him about how he will never be able to fly his sleigh. Rudolph has no idea who this clown is. I'm the king of jingling. All right, now we have a song. Kringle, full peacocking around the cavern, starts talking about how he's the king of jingling.


the congratulations to Thibault. And I'm very sorry that I can't be there today myself. We had two restrictive travel rules, but next time I hope I can visit Thibault and pass on my congratulations myself and also the congratulations from my people here in Bonn and particularly I know about Vex and others. But the title was actually chosen on purpose because I think it does not only apply to gravity test with Pulsars, but to Thibault himself. And there are so many contributions, seminal papers that we are at the Pulsar community are grateful for and also me personally. And as you will see in this talk, there are lots of contributions that are really important. And then I have treasured them since I started working in Pulsars and I continue to do so. And the purpose of the talk is to give you both an idea about what Thibault has contributed and also how we actually used his insight. And of course I have to start with this paper somehow because this is one that appeared actually before the first binary Pulsar was properly published in the journal. This is the paper by Thibault at Remo on the Geodetic Possession of the House Taylor Pulsar. And I will come back to this later. I will come back to the paper of course later in this talk. But of course, there's also the famous DD timing model that the Moudiral timing model, which was really a very elegant way of not only solving the equation of motions but also to basically describe in a timing formula that we as observers could use and basically use the theory independent parameters that were introduced for testing our theories of gravity. And all modern timing formulas today actually derive basically from this set of timing equations and model. There is this famous, as we call it these days, DD92 paper, the Danmour and Taylor paper, which is really the standard reference ever since because it is a wonderful description about the post-caplarium formalism and the way we basically just try to extract the physics from the timing. And the nice thing about this paper is it's really complete. It has already so many post-caplarium parameters in it that we're not even measurable at the time when T-Border and Joe wrote this paper. And there's also a compendium, how you test not only general relativity but also alternative theories of gravity. So as I said, it has been a standard reference ever since and I think it's probably on everyone's desks who are doing parts of the timing. Speaking about alternative theories, I have to mention the paper that he wrote with Jill Esposito-Farese and they basically discovered this effect of spontaneous scalarization, which really is one argument why we need to do binary parts or tests because even if you do a test in the solar system close to a Newton star, there can be effects that you won't necessarily be able to measure otherwise. And there is a whole series of papers by T-Border and Jill and again, you will see some of these diagrams in later in this talk as well. T-Border and Jill also, I think worked the first to try to compare and see what the complementive power of binary pulse or test and gravitational wave detector results would be in the future. And I think I will show you in the following slide that this is indeed, I think what has happened with now this beautiful gravitational wave results being observed also. And still going strong, I'm very happy and glad that T-Border is a co-author on this paper here, which is the summary of 18 years of Pulsar Observation of the Double Pulsar. And we have benefited a lot from discussions with T-Border and so a lot of the things that we had sort of discussed over the years have now sort of found the way into this publication which is basically accepted. We're just waiting for the journal to approve the revised version. And so I will use this results basically as showing some of the things that were put forward in the last 50 years and show you what the current state of art is. And by doing this, we'll come across a few more papers by T-Border. But let's see just to look at what the experiment does. Of course, you know, we're looking at pulsars. These are rotating cosmic lighthouses. They send us a pulse or whenever the pulse, the radio beam is pointed towards us. We see a pulse once per rotation, typically. And this is a rather precise clock and we attach it here to the Newton star and the compact massive object. And if you put the whole thing in a binary system, all we do is watching to see how this clock falls in the curved space time around the common center of matter, it's companion. And we measure the times of arrival here on earth. They may be affected by the interstellar medium. But if you observe multiple frequencies and you time very precisely, you're basically able to test how the different theories basically predict this fall to happen and that's exactly what we do. Of course, the first time that it was possible was with the House Taylor pulsars I already mentioned discovered in 1974. The paper came out in 1975. And I think he is the beautiful parabola plot in the latest version that is published by Joel Weisberg who of course also contributed enormously to exploitation of the system. And the system already showed that gravitational waves exists. It showed that the energy loss is as predicted as by GR. It shows that the gravity propagates with the speed of light. It's certainly also showed that GR holds was strongly self-carreter in the bodies. And it was of course a forecast of what happened that W-Star mergers would exist and therefore was a good motivation to build gravitational wave detectors. So that's how it all started. And the formalism that was put in place really neatly put forward by the DD timing model and summarized in the DD design in two paper. Basically, the idea is of course that you have observational here with shown on the left hand side of each equations. And they depend basically on the capillary parameters and the two unknown masses of the system. So the idea is of course, if you measure at least two of these equations you can determine the masses. You have two unknowns and two equations. But if you measure more of these words with the effects then you have over determined your system and you can do n minus two independent tests if you have measured n parameters. There's a beautiful way of course to show this in a graphical way. This is in this mass mass plot where each of these observables produces a curve that depends on the masses. And if the system is described properly by the theory that you assume they're all intersect in a single point which is the unique pair of masses that describes the system. If you have a theory where these curves fail to intersect in a single point then obviously the theory is falsified and should be rejected. And this is of course the mass mass diagram for the Haus-Teller-Pulsar. And here's another paper by Thibault and Joe that I would like to mention because in this paper in 91 there were really putting together all the possible effects that could affect the observed orbital period decay and without that correction in particular here for the relative motion of the system to Earth the curves wouldn't actually intersect and you would assume that you have falsified your R but of course with the proper correction the curves all intersect in a single point and that laid the confirmation of the period decay. Of course the idea that external effects also play a role have been put forward in its various effects for other people like Blandford and Wagner in the past but I think this paper here was really a nice compilation of all the different effects that could indeed affect the observed value. By now we have a system that is superior to the Haus-Teller-Pulsar. It's also famous I think that by now with our Pulsar system we discovered that in 2003 we have two active pulses all within each other in just 147 minutes. We have a recycled Pulsar which is spinning fast and a young Pulsar which is spinning slow orbital velocities of about 300 kilometers per second and we see it from edge on as you will see now hopefully in this animation the tilt of the orbit against our line of sight is just 0.65 degrees. So it's really, really close to edge on and that leads to eclipses and it's a beautiful system to test the GR and you see or any other theory of gravity and you see the effects that we have measured in the system that it will briefly mention in passing at all of them on the next slides. We have now as I said put out a publication or it's about to be published of all observations and we discovered the Pulsar. We have precision astrometry including a parallax and hence the distance measurement which is as you've seen for the Hustler Pulsar is very important. And so we determined the distance to 735 plus minus 60 Pulsar which is pretty good and the transfer velocity is also very small. It essentially stands still where it was born. At the moment we have about 1 million T-rays at times of arrival measurements and we measure the Pulsar parameters very precisely. The most precise Pulsar parameter is actually the periastron advance and we have measured as a level which is exceeding the expected 2PN contribution by 35 sigma. So and that will become important as you will see we may try to measure the moment of inertia of the Newton star. Of course we do measure the orbital period K and here you see sort of the parabola for the Pulsar. It's nicely sampled. The Pulsars approach each other by about seven millimeter a day or the orbit shrinks by 107,820 plus minus seven picoseconds and the expectation from GR compared to the observation is in agreement at a level of 1.3 times 10 to the minus four. This is the most precise test of the GR quadruple formula that exists right now. And our position is actually so large that we have to take the mass loss of the rotational spin down into account as the Pulsar spins down by emitting gravitational and sorry, electromagnetic waves. It's the period changes and that loss in energy is to be taken into account and this is about 8.4 million tons per second but on the other hand it's only 3.2 times 10 to the minus 21 of the mass of Pulsar A. This parabola I think is also I think very nice related to Thibault's work because for instance in his 93 paper he showed that the quadruple formula that is here is the one from his paper actually is also valid for strongly self-gravitating bodies. I think that's important and this parabola nicely shows that it is indeed the case. We also measure light propagation something that not many experiments can do in strong field. And here of course we make use of the orbital inclination angle being so close to 90 degrees which means that the light has to pass the other nuclear star in just 10,600 kilometer distance. And that leads to the lay in the rival times because it has to propagate to the curved space time. And here again you see the red curve is prediction by GR, the blue dots are our measurements. And again that allows us to actually determine the inclination angle of the orbit to that precision. And again, if you compare the observed value with the expectation from GR again as an excellent agreement between the prediction and our experiment. If you actually be look a bit closer and sort of if you subtract the curve and I've done it here again so if you subtract the prediction in its simplest form you actually saw a deviation, a clear signature. And that signature comes actually from two effects. It's actually here we have to take the next higher order a Shapiro Delay contribution into account which basically means that our lens Pulsar B is moving by the time the photon has left A and reaches Pulsar B at its part of the orbit. And that leads to a shift in the Shapiro Delay curve but it is only one contribution. The other contribution is actually a light bending because the space time is curved. And so the Pulsar A has to shoot its photon slightly earlier before superior conjunction, sorry slightly later before superior conjunction slightly earlier afterwards. And that leads to this nice signature here. So this curve actually also tells you the direction of spin of Pulsar A relative to the orbital momentum vector. So we can tell you it's prograde. And actually that bending here makes this 600 kilometers of the 10,600 kilometer distance that the signal passes here. And these higher order effects are indeed consistent what we would have expected from the theory which is shown here by the red curve. So if you compare this as I said to other gravitational experiments which test light propagation, cause we have our image of the black hole here is the Shapiro Delay test of the double Pulsar. And in this diagram where we plot the maximum curvature versus the potential, it is actually quite close to what the gravitational wave detectors can probe. And here's of course the nice precise Cassini result of the solar system. We also have measured that the orbit is relativistically deformed. That is because we have actually three eccentricities when we write down the equations of motion and he has been very much exaggerated effect of how that impacts on the orbit. And even though the effect is not measured with high significance, it's actually important to include this in our timing model because otherwise we would have obtained a wrong parameter of the Einstein delay and would have been offset from GR by about two sigma. But by taking the orbital deformation into account as it was first put forward by the Modera in the in the 85 paper, we can actually show that is very much consistent with the prediction of general utility. I should mention the steering effect. I hear Viaghe had, I think there was interesting race going on in 87 to publish the fact that the contribution there's a contribution of the length steering effect spin over coupling to your observed orbital per procession value. And in fact, so that's written here and it's written such to indicate that the contribution of the steering is actually of the same order of magnitude as the 2pn effect. As I mentioned before, we have measured this with the position that exceeds the 2pn effect by 35 sigma. So there's a principle of a chance to isolate that contribution from the steering and hence measure it. And this is the paper. I was very proud that we discovered this paper in original PDF format on the other day preparing this talk. This is in the, I think reports of the Academy of Science. And here's the new experimental paper that came later. So yes, we see this effect actually because here is a zoom into the mass mass diagram that I'll show you in the next slide in full. And this shift here between the two omega dot lines is the shift that if you take the steering account or not. So there's a significant deviation if you don't take it into account by marginalizing over different possible equations of state, we can determine the mass of the two pulsars very precisely. And in fact, we can then also try to put limits on a moment of inertia that we basically obtain. This is a diagram where we basically is a probability density function of our measurements. And at the moment, we can only give you an upper limit on the Newton star radius is 22 kilometers. Of course, it's not competitive in that sense with, for instance, the nicer results. But as you can see, we start just basically from pulsar timing start to constrain the radius of the Newton star, which I think is a very nice result. And if you follow the paper by who it are, we show you how this will improve quite dramatically in the near future. This is the mass mass diagram for the double pulsar after this 18 years of observations. Each line is actually the thickness or supposedly the thickness of the uncertainty. And as you can see, most of them are very precise. Now we have now seven corpus copiarum parameters. We have this next leading order effects in the signal propagation. We have the most precise test of TR using the quadruple formula. And we have started to probe the moment of inertia equation of states. And I think it's very cool. We need to take the mass loss into account as the pulsar spins down. And we already have started to observe this pulsar but we make a tell us for a show some quick results in one of the next slides. And then they had been timing improves already by a factor of two to three or what we have achieved so far. Yeah, but let's talk about spin procession very, very briefly. Of course, it was this insight by rainbow on seaboard that the, if the spin axis of the pulsar is misaligned with the overall momentum vector, this will lead to a procession of the pulsar around that tool and momentum vector. And that changes the line of sight that we see that we cut the radio beam with and that leads to profile changes. And indeed, as we have seen in the past, the host Taylor pulsar is becoming narrower and narrower and in principle should disappear on 2025 but maybe it just doesn't matter and we'll see how the geometry evolves working on an update on this paper. We have seen this effect also in a double pulsar. There's this beautiful work by René Proton where we've used the eclipses of the pulsar that changes with time because this eclipse is not complete. It's actually because this is a donut rather than a sphere. This clips pattern is modulated and this modulation pattern depends very sensitively on the orientation of the spin axis of pulsar beam as pulsar beam processes that pattern changes and by tracking that change, we can measure the procession rate and that's we validated that with the GR prediction with a precision of 13%. Just as I've mentioned, we already have meek at observations. And so this is a beautiful eclipse pattern that we see with meek cut with awesome sensitivity. And we started to continue that eclipse pattern and this is still preliminary work, but we can already expect that the precision of that test will have probably improved by an order of magnitude or so. And this is a work in progress by Markus Lauer is just done finishing this PhD at Swinburne University. Maybe the most beautiful test of geodetic procession is actually that will be published in 2019 using another relativistic binary pulsar which where we actually see the young Newton star with W. Newton star system. Here we see this beautiful two components in the pulsar profile which comes actually from the two opposite poles. And we can measure in particular the polarization of characteristics of this radiation very precisely. And there's the what they call the rotating vector model which associates this position angle swing with basically a projection of this feed line direction onto a line of sight. And hence as the line of sight changes that slope in that position angle curve is a function of time. And we have tracked this pulsar also for more than 12 years. And here we show you the change in the position angle on one of the poles. And as the pulse actually crosses the magnetic pole the sense of the slope changes swaps so negative to positive. And that is exactly what the rotating model had predicted. And at the same time that allows us to measure the procession rate. And again we can measure this here in this case to 2.17 plus 1.11 degrees per year which again is very nicely consistent with the prediction of GR. So I think that is actually the most beautiful test of geodetic procession as was predicted by T-Bot on the rainbow in 1974. Let me say a few words before I finish about alternative fields of gravity or testing principles. As of course, we already mentioned heard about this on Tuesday, the microscope satellite that T-Bot was involved with. And there's a beautiful very tight limit on the violation of the University of Freefall. There is of course, you can do laser ranging or similar experiments with the moon. And the question is of course, what can you do with binary pulsars? And there's one paper that Gerhard and T-Bot wrote together which basically showed the way how to do this. They basically pointed out that a deviation from a zero-accenticity orbit could be a violation of the University of Freefall. If you have a white dwarf and a pulsar falling together and neglect the potential. And indeed we've used that in the past to produce very nice limits. But nature has been even more kind to us than that because they have given us the triple system which is actually a pulsar with in orbit but two white dwarfs as an inner orbit with a pulsar and a white dwarf which is about 1.6 days. And there's an outer white dwarf which always the pulsar white dwarf system with a period of about a year. And together we basically can track how the white dwarf and the Newton stuff the inner orbit fall in the gravitational potential of the outer white dwarf. And by doing this experiment, Archibald and I produced that limit on the violation of the University of Freefall or we use the strong free know what parameter that was introduced by T-Bot and Gerhard in the 91 paper. And in fact, we have improved on this limit in both in quantitatively slightly but in particular in cleanliness of the test in a paper where we use beautiful non-say observatory data by Guillaume Bisson and in collaboration with us. And that is a beautiful clean limit and it's also beautiful work that Guillaume has been doing. We could of course put this then curve this also in the plot that were introduced by T-Bot and Jill to test in the what we nowadays call the demo of the esposite for gravity. So you have this two parameters alpha not and beta not which are the coupling to the scalar field linearly and for radically and everything below a line is still allowed everything above a line is forbidden. And of course the bottom minus infinity here and the triple system in fact gives you the best constraint for most of the parameter space but even the double part here actually has something to say about this in particular about negative beta. In fact, if you take our timing data that I presented you earlier and you look at the sort of the theory realization of this star here, you see that they resulting in mass mass plot in fact, it looks like many lines that do not intersect. And so this is indeed falsified as it is also beyond that curve here. There's so many things I could mention what else you can do with binary pulsars and I just leave that list on here. Let me just point out to that paper by T-Bot and Jill testing the local loans invariance and there's a nice update by Li Jing Xiao and Norbert Wax from 2016. But again, the idea, one of the idea was produced first by T-Bot and his collaborators in this case, Jill. And so yeah, if you're interested in getting an update of what the current numbers are that two reviews one by Norbert and Li Jing, one by Norbert myself so I can recommend this. Let me finish basically by saying that I think it's a pity that Einstein didn't live to see the discovery of pulsars and the usage of how we deal with them to test relativistic gravity because it's nice because they provide very precise sometimes the most precise tests and often unique tests for some self-gravitating bodies because of the nature of the experiment the measurements are usually clean and precise and so far we haven't found the fault in generativity which means we have tight constraints on alternative fields of gravity which need to pass the binary pulsar test. I think I've showed you that we have done some very significant progress in particular the double pulse interpret system basically building this on the work that he both and collaborators have done. It's beautiful to see that we have now I think to send it to the next level of precision we measure effects that were not possible to measure many years before. We find more systems and with the SKA coming online or Meerkat already and fast we actually do find currently some very interesting binary systems which may maybe eventually surpass the double pulse as the double pulse has surpassed the Taylor pulse. And I just want to point out again that Tivot has really had enormously to exploit these binary pulsars with all the various works that he has contributed. And yes, I think we are still going strong and with Tivot's help then there are many more years to come to do more. And my final slide is, and this is my, I mean there are good, very many quotes from Einstein but as a pulsar astronomer, I like this quote very nice very much because he says is just my English translation that comes to pedantic precision of astronomy to the rescue which are ridiculed silently so often in the past. And he wrote this in a letter to Anna Sommerfeld after he was able to explain the Mercury perillion advance with this field equation. And I like this animated image of Einstein I think it's fake. Anyway, I couldn't help to add this nice plot form and picture from Tivot's comic on the quantum world which I also have at home and really much like. So with that, thanks Tivot. And I've heard you, we shouldn't praise it too much but I'll do it anyway. So thank you very much in terms of helping us with our observations and trying to understand them. Thank you very much. Are there other questions, short questions, comments? Hello, please, yeah. So concerning the test of the strong equivalent principle with the triple pulsar, how do you believe the value or the maximal value of this combination delta which involves the gravitational energy divided by the mass but what about in terms of the not that parameter in front and how does it compare with the laser rounding test? Yeah, so it certainly is not as a make-up. It's not as precise as the lunar laser ranging almost getting there. It's certainly not as precise as the microscope experiment but the order of magnitude I think I have to go back to my slide to actually check but I think we're about an order of magnitude worse than the lunar laser ranging. No, it's 10 to the minus 13. They're not quite there yet but yeah, it's a strong field effect and the measurement at least in our case. So that's why it's so. So in measure of eta, epsilon is 10% and the result that I've done is six so it is more precise. Yes, but in terms of data only that's my question. What is the test? I look it up because it is all the effect. So that's why it's... But if we have a violation of the equivalent principle there should be the same eta in principle in different bodies. Yes. So eta is a good measure to compare tests on different regimes for different systems. You want to be few independent, so you cannot be... Okay, this is another question. In terms of eta, I mean, epsilon is a 0.04% and in terms of a triplet system was 0.02%. In this case, it's in the opposite side as T-ball just in absolute terms, of course it's not but thanks T-ball for making that argument. Very nice questions, Michael. You've seen double system, triple systems, what about more complex system? Is this likely to occur or very unlikely? We have planets. I was just about to say we have one planetary system with three planets at least. But yeah, they're not very good for testing gravity because the planets themselves have not very much mass. Anything more massive than that I think wouldn't be stable enough to survive long enough for observations. It also becomes a little bit messy. So even the triple system doing the theoretical analysis properly was a challenge. And I think that is the beauty of what Jorm has shown in his paper, which I think is much more elegant what we have done than what unarchival mothers have done. But I'm biased then. Okay, so let us say Michael again. Thank you very much.
