the top 10 supplements I would recommend to beginners. Hey, what's up guys? It's Josh here. From all the research I've done, from all the experiences that I have, these are the top 10 supplements that I would recommend to somebody starting out. They're not going to be the most extreme. This is kind of trying to attack supplements from all angles. I'm not going to put 10 supplements that are awakening on this list. I'm not going to put 10 supplements that make you sleepy on this list. I'm trying to give you guys a really balanced 10 supplements, full spectrum for whatever you need supplements for. Starting off at number 10, I could go with lemon balm, passion flower, or chamomile extract. To be honest, guys, I like all three of these. I have all three of them in bulk. Sometimes I take them solo. Sometimes I mix them. All three have blown me away for how effective they are, how good they make me feel, and how relaxed slash drowsy they make me as well. I'm really impressed with all three compounds. I could go either way on all of them. So number nine is ginger slash turmeric. Again, those are both so, so good. There's times where I probably picked turmeric. There's times where I probably picked ginger. I think turmeric is in the same family as ginger. They're both very spicy. I would probably edge ginger just because I find that it has more of a stomach cleansing effect, which I really like, but they're both very good. Both just loaded with health benefits. Pretty much everybody's heard of ginger and almost everybody's heard of turmeric if you go into supplements. So they're very well known. They're very effective and I like both of them. All right, guys. Number eight, tyrosine slash in acetyl L tyrosine. So I've always liked tyrosine ever since I was in my early 20s. It's one of the best ingredients to put in any pre-workout, any focus blend, any new tropic blend. Tyrosine is all natural and it converts into a few things eventually dopamine. So the more tyrosine you take, the more dopamine you will end up with because it ends up turning into dopamine. Tyrosine is found in almost all proteins. Inacetyl L tyrosine is stronger. It is probably a little more stimulating. I would say that the original tyrosine is more smooth, but if you're somebody who's looking for some natural energy production, super safe, really effective, very pleasant, enjoyable, can't say enough good things about tyrosine and inacetyl L tyrosine. One of the only mood boosting supplements I put on this list. All right, guys. Number six, lion's mane slash cordyceps mushroom. You could maybe toss reishi in there as well, but being that I'm a guy, I typically research supplements and then testosterone to see if there's any studies conducted on how the supplement affected hormones and you would be surprised. Rarely will it not do anything to hormones. Most of the time it will either raise or increase hormones. I think lion's mane doesn't do anything to hormones. Cordyceps increases testosterone in men and red reishi, I think, decreases it in men. I've looked at it multiple times. So red reishi is the more relaxing one here. Cordyceps is the more energizing one here, the athletic one. And the lion's mane is super popular because it's supposed to help regrow parts of the brain, which I think at one point people didn't even think was possible. And I think cordyceps also helps your lungs. So overall, it's an athletic mushroom. I like both of them. Lion's mane, cordyceps. All right, guys, number five, phenyl paracetam. Now, of all the supplements on this list, this one is the one that makes me feel the best. I don't only have too many supplements on this list geared towards just feeling good, but this supplement has absolutely blown me away. Not only do I enjoy the effects, but I feel more balanced the more that I take it.  Almost anything else that stimulates you eventually will take your energy. You know, if you're talking about DMHA, DMAA, medaffinol, caffeine, if you end up taking any of those for a long time or a high dose, eventually you'll be tired. Your body will be zapped. Phenyl paracetam actually rejuvenates you and makes you feel good. It's by far my favorite new tropic. And to me, it feels really balanced. I have nothing bad to say about it. Phenyl paracetam, number five. All right, guys, number four, from the research I've done and the little experience I have, it's blown me away. And that is NAC, inocidal L-cysteine. Anytime that there's a liver support blend, they always include NAC. It's one of the most notorious supplements to help with liver health up there with milk thistle. And it also, I think it's supposed to increase testosterone in men. It's supposed to like clear up your lungs of any kind of mucus.  I think it also improves your mood naturally as well. This is just a great compound overall. It turns into glutathione, which is I think one of the best antioxidants in the body. So really nothing bad to say about it. If someone's having some liver issues, it's one of the first compounds that comes to mind. NAC, number four. All right, guys, number three. I just did a video on this supplement, magnesium. Most people have heard of magnesium. I had heard magnesium my whole life, but I didn't understand just how powerful and how great this supplement is. When you take a large dose of magnesium, it has a relaxing effect. I take it at nighttime and to help me calm down. It has a very potent relaxing feel. People would actually be surprised how relaxed it makes you and how sleepy it makes you. I'm somebody who actually legitimately understands real panic and real anxiety. And when I get to that point, I mean, little to nothing will calm me down. I need something really strong to zap me out of that mindset. Very few things will do it. I wouldn't really think almost any natural supplement would, but I would not be surprised at all if I took a large dose of mag and most, if not all the anxiety went away and I was able to go to sleep like in 30 minutes. So it also helps with constipation as well. If you're somebody who does not want that effect, there is kinds of magnesium that don't have the constipation effect or it's very mild. And then you have other kinds of magnesium that is stronger on the constipation effect. If you want that, so if you want the laxative effect, I would go with magnesium citrate.  If you have any sort of stress or anxiety, if you know anybody who has any stress or anxiety, definitely pick this up. And if you run out of magnesium in your body, I think your heart will stop as well. If that's not enough reason to go check it out. So all right guys, number two, and that is zeolite. Zeolite is a supplement that's absolutely blown me away. I think it's supposed to completely heal your guts. I think it brings your body to like the perfect pH. Almost all the food we eat is not alkaline. It's very acidic. It's not very good for your body.  So to have a supplement to take where it's just going to put you in perfect alkaline, I don't know a very many supplements that do that. On top of that zeolite is kind of like a cage with a magnet in the middle. The magnet in the middle sucks up toxins, heavy metals, I think mold and other things as well. Almost everything toxic gets absorbed into this cage and you end up peeing the cage out. I've taken a lot of supplements that help overall health in general. And this is one of those ones that I can actually visibly see and feel it working. One of the first couple of times I take it, I would literally wake up and I felt lighter. Like I felt like there was something on my back that got removed. When I take zeolite, my skin feels softer than I've ever felt it in my life. If you think you have a buildup of toxicity in your body, you don't even know what it is. I would highly recommend zeolite. Sometimes people say that it even sucks up plastics, but I haven't done enough research into that. It does so many things, balances the pH of your body, makes your skin feel super soft. I take a really big dose. I take grams of it, but it makes your skin feel super soft. It's almost unavoidable, these toxins and heavy metals. So it's nice to take something to combat that. They've also dropped zeolite onto areas that were hit with atomic bombs because there's lots of radiation there still. And it actually is supposed to combat radiation poisoning and things like that. You can really feel the effects zeolite number two. All right guys, number one. If you've been watching my videos for a long time, this is my favorite supplement of all time. Real quick, before I get into number one, my favorite three supplements of all time are zeolite, ormus, and this supplement, colostrum. I did not include ormus into this list only because it's more of a far out supplement. I feel like zeolite and colostrum is much more consistent. Ormus can be made lots of different ways. I think it varies batch to batch maker to maker. It's very expensive and it has all these weird far out claims. So I didn't want to include ormus in this list, but if you wanted to know, ormus is in my top three as well. So colostrum, my favorite supplement of all time. The only thing bad I could say about this supplement is if you're a vegan, it's not a vegan supplement. Other than that, to be honest, it's perfect. At one point I reviewed colostrum and I want to do some research and showcase all the things that colostrum can do and all the benefits that it has in one video. I went to like seven or eight websites and each website had a whole new list of things that are in colostrum. One of the claims I heard is that colostrum contains every nutrient needed by the body period, which is a crazy bold claim. If you think about it, colostrum is first milking of any mammal. And that's why they say that it's good for women to breastfeed instead of going straight to formula because they have actual colostrum. And I've done research and apparently colostrum does have every nutrient that you need. And so by giving it to the baby, it's almost kind of like programs on a computer. It like sets him up with everything he needs permanently on top of it having just unbelievable claims and it containing just unlistable ingredients because they're so good. I get amazing anti-aging benefits from colostrum. Certain supplements feel like they kind of clean out my body like zeolites one of them zeolites kind of like something to clean out all the bad things in the body. Colostrum feels like I'm literally planting healthier seeds in my skin and my skin is growing back healthier. What did he say? I know it's a weird analogy, but it's the only thing that not only clears up my face makes me look good, but I actually feel like I look younger than when I don't take it. Lots of supplements clear up my face. Lots of supplements are pretty good for anti-aging, but colostrum is the number one. If my face is looking destroyed, I'm seeing a lot of wrinkles. If I'm looking older, the number one thing I'll go to is colostrum. I haven't done it too much recently, but you can also make a colostrum mask. I'm not into masks because I'm like a typical traditional guy. I just don't do that. But the times that I have done a colostrum mask, it is phenomenal. It's amazing. It clears up your skin, makes your skin kind of glow. It's one of the only supplements I've come across that makes my skin actually glow. And again, I found tons of supplements that help with anti-aging help clear up my face, but nothing clears up my face as good as colostrum. Is there a supplement that you think I missed that I should put on this list? I'd be very interested to see. What are your top three most impressive supplements that you've ever taken? I'd be very interested to see as well. Having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.

Hi everyone, it's great to be here. Thank you so much. I'm here to help paint a picture of what you're seeing at this conference and how it ties back to all the incredible innovation that seems to have burst on the scene in the last year in AIML. My goal is to help that you think about how all these innovations and related tools that you might use to solve the biggest human needs that inspire to build these impactful solutions. To truly innovate, we always need to root our innovation back into the problems that we're solving. And so great ML solutions like any other solution ideally start with design thinking. Who's your user? What are their needs and how will solving those needs impact their lives? So right now is an incredibly exciting time for machine learning whether you're just getting started or a seasoned practitioner. Large model integrations and applications have exploded from larger companies through to startups and advancements across the industry range from low code offerings to those as well as those for more advanced practitioners. Now, so many of you are here today because of large language models. So let me walk you through a super short overview. Large models and specifically large language models through generative AI have fundamentally changed technology in the last year or so. It's not just the technology, but the ease of access, the natural conversational style of many of the popular applications and several other underlying factors that have made LLM seem to burst onto the scene. Whatever the underlying magic though, this shift has helped quickly unlock solving big human problems and in a variety of ways that many of us haven't even figured out yet. And so even if large models though don't solve everything, the majority of our critical ML solutions are still running with traditional ML. It's still important to understand that all the underlying advancements have helped make LLM's possible because at the end of the day, all this machine learning is inspired by deep human needs. So let me walk through a quick path from the Google side. You know, at first traditional programming consisted of providing a specific set of instructions for a computer to execute. You had to know precisely which set of actions to follow to get from input to output. So you could teach the computer something in the old days like cat type, animal, legs four, ears two, for usually likes, yarn, catnip, naps, and ultimate power. Well-defined inputs, well-defined outputs. Then neural networks came around in roughly 2012. We started training AIs with a bunch of data, like a pile of animal pictures, teaching the AI which ones were pictures of cats and which were dogs or other animals or just not a cat. After a certain amount of training, the AI became able to figure out which pictures were cats with great quality. The model is single task model, trained to solve a specific problem. But sometimes the outputs could surprise us in good ways, and there was a lot of increased flexibility in the types of inputs we could use. Then this evolved into large language models or LLMs, which ML algorithms that can help recognize, predict, and generate human languages. LLMs are normally pre-trained for multiple tasks on a large corpus of text, followed by fine tuning on a specific task, like if you gave a whole encyclopedia to a child and then worked directly with the child to figure out how to do specifically well on questions for cats. And for this training, though, you had to think on terabyte scale, resulting in large models with tens of billions of parameters to the weights that the model learned during training and used to predict the next token in the sequence. So now we have a system where we can use really general inputs and get human-like outputs across a wide variety of questions. And so when you take a look behind the scenes of this path, you can see that this large model technology has been gaining momentum for years. And our own path is illustrative to understand where we are now. For the purposes of this chat, I'm going to zoom past a bunch of stuff from Google towards 2017 and the introduction of transformers, an architecture designed around the idea of attention. This architecture made it possible to process longer sequences by focusing on the most important part of the input solving memory issues that have been encountered in earlier models. Taking us back to everyday life, you can imagine that this state-of-the-art architecture can also be incredibly useful at solving everyday problems like translation. Or AlphaFold, developed by our DeepMind team, which allows access to over 200 million protein structures or predictions to dramatically accelerate scientific research. And several more impactful models started emerging quickly, one after another, powering incredible products here at Google from T5 to Lambda to Palm to Gemini, our newest model. Now, when thinking about LMS, it's not just thinking about the architecture. There's a number of underlying advancements that I'm going to talk a little bit about across ML software, from computational power to ML techniques to training data to access of innovation that are all relevant to making this new innovation possible. So first, advancements in computational power. So one of the most important things that you need to understand at a high level is the key infrastructure that ML runs on. Specifically, when you're trying to crunch a very, very large amount of data, you need a whole lot of computing power. Computing resources have become more powerful, such as with GPUs and our own TPUs, first launched in 2015, where you can do a much more complicated processing much faster than in traditional processing units like CPUs. And the key takeaway on this is that it takes a lot of power to run these large models and even more to train and crunch all the vast amounts of data that are required to get them to a point where they're ready for primetime consumption. And then data. So data is really key to everything. Without data, we know that models simply can't learn. And as we get better at collecting and analyzing large amounts of data, be it structured data or unstructured data like audio or video files, the model performance can improve dramatically. But for you as you develop, figuring out what type of data your customers need or have gets really complicated quickly. Do you need just text to better understand and generate natural written language? What about when it becomes dialogue and spoken conversation? Or we need to communicate with computers through code, or maybe you need image or audio? Now, I want to pause to call out that with more data becomes more responsibility. And it's important to put that responsibility at the core of all product creation that we do in AI. So next, advancements in techniques. So over the last several years, significant advancements in some of these techniques to train the models have also led to some of these large leaps in performance. We covered more power, which means more data crunching and the ability to handle more diverse types of data. But it's not just about training on more data, but the ability to train faster so that we can have faster feedback loops, meaning the ability to incorporate higher level and higher judgment evaluations of the outputs of the models. Specifically, techniques like reinforcement learning with human feedback or RLHF has been critical as models are learning from vast amounts of unstructured data like image audio, etc., which require a much higher judgment in knowing how to evaluate the outcomes. Computers in the traditional ML world have only been able to handle simple questions like, is this a hot dog? Yes or no? But with faster iterations of humans providing real time feedback, we can create more nuanced, expert opinions to help guide the models to better judgment like determining which corgi is the cutest, most dramatic and corgi-tastic. And with the increased availability of open-source models, as we heard from our last speaker, on all sizes of platforms from Kaggle, the hugging face, etc., and open-source frameworks like TensorFlow, Jack's, Keras, and PyTorch, more and more developers have been able to learn more quickly from each other, innovating faster on the models themselves, the data, the techniques, and the fine-tuning for it to support a wide variety of use cases solving deep customer needs. This innovation, the overall community expertise has been critical in supporting the acceleration of innovation around large models. And easier access comes through no-code platforms like LMChat interfaces like Bard or ChatGPT, which dramatically open up access to everyday customers to start using and being inspired by large models without needing to know how to code. It made it as simple as typing whatever you're thinking in whatever language you think in to be able to interact with these LLMs. This has meant that the large models that were previously only available to researchers with deep technical experience and access to large amounts of compute are now available to almost anyone. Because it's been so much easier to access LLMs and build with them, we've seen rapid integration of these LLMs in applications solving an adverse set of customer problems across a wide variety of tasks critical to our lives, ranging from assistance to coding to translation, summarization, generation, and more. And this means that ML running behind the scenes is just that much more approachable for people. Adding to this a proliferation of smart devices over the last decade has also meant that customers now have devices like phones, wearables, and IoT with them almost all the time anywhere in the world. This popularity has been, in part, powered by increased advancements in device machine learning, including critical techniques around model optimization and quantization. These capabilities are often baked into the frameworks themselves, whether it's like TFLite or MediaPipe, so the developers can meet end users' demands for smarter and smarter applications. On the device that they have them with them all the time means there's greater need for advanced ML capabilities than ever. And with diverse applications and services bring diverse responsibility as you look to build. As we get better at collecting and analyzing large amounts of data, think about how these practical applications can be centered around key human needs and how can we be responsible. We'll run into a diverse set of opportunities to develop this responsibility, each with their own nuance. And many of the answers to what responsible needs are still being weighed. So it's critical for all of us to keep educating ourselves, staying informed on the latest guidelines, and I know I'm always asking if it's good enough. So what are some of the specific applications out there using AIML? I'm sure you all know of a whole bunch. I'll give you a few from my day job. We've launched all sorts of products that are powered by LMS from Bard and Duet AI, which is your AI-powered collaborator across Google Cloud to help you get more done faster. And this technology also powers a lot of consumer features you probably know and love, like real-time editing features and photos all the way through to the incredible effects in meat. And developer products like Vertex AI, Kaggle, Visual Blocks, and Keras 3.0, which is something I'm very excited about, a new rewrite of the Keras APIs that let you run their workflows on either Jax, TensorFlow, or PyTorch, unlocking brand new large-scale model training and deployment capabilities enabling multi-framework machine learning. We've leaned in to make sure that RML works great on all your devices so that you have that little bit of magic in your pocket, on your wrists and your ears, and more. And as of last week, of course, and even more being announced today, Gemini. Gemini is the next phase in our journey around making AI more helpful for everyone. It's the most capable and general model that we've built, and it's the result of a large-scale collaborative effort by teams across Google. And it's state-of-the-art capabilities will significantly enhance, we believe, the ways that developers and enterprise customers build and scale with AI across multiple different model sizes. And while I love all that, Mel, I'm particularly passionate about devices, which is why I'm actually really excited for the smallest-sized model, the Gemini Nano, optimized for mobile, bringing that power of large models with you anywhere, anytime. And the reason this matters is running on device enables features where the data should not leave the device, such as suggesting replies to messages and to encrypted messaging app, and it enables consistent experiences with deterministic latency. So features are always available, even when there's no network. Anyway, bringing it back to you. We're excited about the amazing possibilities of a world responsibly powered by AI, a future of innovation that will enhance creativity, extend knowledge, advance science, and transform the way billions of people live and work throughout the world. And so one parting thought, just don't forget to think about all the cool and core human needs that you're building for and you're building these solutions to address. Whether that's how you might use AI ML to find a safer path to Mars, or figure out what's for dinner, or just bring a little more fun into your daily life. And we're in a great world of possibility where you can make a brainy day a little bit brighter, whether that's literally or figuratively. And I can't wait to see what you all build. Thank you so much.


Welcome back to Marvel Stadium, a big game to kick off round two in the Hyundai A-League. It's the victory against the Wanderers. But a face-up to, here's the variation, Camp Sober back post. Awkward one for Lopar, underneath his own crossbar. He made some crucial saves last week against the very good Mariners side. Certainly a danger player need to get him or involve the victory if they can. And the boot, oh, the deflection nearly squeezed its way in, Lopar was scrambling. I think it was going to hit the side dining anyway. Down too strong for Toebener. Long-wise ding over the top of Myer. It broke for Myer and he put it in the back of the net off the underside of the crossbar, but the referee had blown the whistle for the free kick. Thomas slamming a meter off his lie now. Looking for Myer, they're gone on the end of this, back off the posts. And it was, in fact, Jermyn with the header and Myer somehow missed the follow-up. Rather than Daniel Gordeski just chasing that ball back. Here's Gordeski caught out by Camp Sober, and Lopar makes another brilliant save. Elvis just can't quite find that goal. Good save, if Sullivan tries to lift it over the top and does so to Adam. And now Bacchus, oh, what, Duke could have made it two, they, bounced it on by Bacchus, the scorer of a sensational goal. That's a free kick, one by Sullivan who showed great trickery again the young man. It is over to Tim and Schwiegler. Thomas was flying, trying to take out that top corner, wasn't too far away. Lifted into the water, that struck a half, his assistant and points to the spot. And end their droughts. The victory, Aaron, it's taken more than 160 minutes. And now there's 20 minutes or so to chase the game to one now, all of his experience to head for that corner flag. Two wins out of two to start the season for the first time in their history. Big celebrations for the Western Sydney Wanderers who win at Marble Stadium for the first time ever as well.


cookies left over the difference between the beginning balance plus the purchases minus the ending count is the amount of cookies that I presumably sold.  And so that could have happened as well. But that's the general idea and then you can make a periodic adjustment into your into your QuickBooks system decreasing the dollar amount of the inventory in QuickBooks and recording the cost of goods sold at the end of the month or the end of the day or the end of the shift or the end of the year on a periodic system. We're going to use a full perpetual inventory system here however so that means that we're gonna have we're gonna have transactions both on the purchasing side and on the customer side or the sales side. On the purchasing side the easiest kind of inventory purchase would simply be you're gonna use a check form or expense form to buy the inventory and then you would just buy if you bought it physically at that point in time you can record it at that point in time or if you're ordering it and you're paying for it at the point in time you order it then you'll typically just use an expense form possibly even being able to use the bank feeds that will flow through and record the expense form. But if you're ordering the inventory but you're not paying for it at that point in time that's when you might use the purchase order something like manufacturing things often times like in China you might be able to come up with a new kind of thing that you're manufacturing and possibly have it manufactured in China because it's typically cheaper to manufacture there and then maybe you can have a situation where they ship you the stuff before you pay for the stuff right if that's the case you're entering a purchase order for the request of the stuff and then when they when you get the stuff that's when you're going to receive it and at that point in time you'll typically enter the bill or possibly an expense form recording both the inventory in terms of dollar amount the inventory in terms of units and the payment if you make an expense form or the accounts payable if you're entering a bill at that time. Once you have the inventory on hand you can of course sell them so we have guitars on hand we would imagine when we sell the guitars we're going to sell them with either an invoice form or sales receipt form the sales receipt form being the one that we can think about doing when we're at a check register the invoice being the one that we would use when we're not at a check register and we're we're billing someone sending them the invoice by email or something like that but the sales part of it is much the same we're going to record what the client can see or the customer can see the sales price what they're going to owe us including sales tax and what is not included if using a perpetual inventory system will also be recorded behind the scenes in a similar fashion as when you're at the grocery store for example if you have one of those self-checkouts and you scan your item it gives you what the cost is to you right what the sales price is what you're going to pay but that system is also recording on a perpetual inventory system the cost to the store using some kind of flow assumption that's what we're going to be setting up here as well with the help and the use of the items so it'll it'll actually reduce the inventory and dollar amount and count and record the the cost of goods sold when we sell it alright let's check it out then so if I go back on over here to the to our sheet we're going to go to the first tab and we're then going to go into our plus button and we're in the vendor cycle so we're entering a purchase order we're imagining we're going to our vendors and we're saying we need stuff and I'm going to hit the drop-down we we're going to go to Epiphone that's who we our main vendor is for our guitar sales we would typically want an email because oftentimes we would be issuing this externally with an email this is also a form that you might want to customize given the fact that you will be providing it to a customer meaning you might want to put your logo on it and that kind of stuff so the mailing address if it was necessary you would have that but we only included the name for the vendor I'm tapping through this by the way ship to now notice it's defaulting to shipping to our address we're going to imagine that that's our warehouse address but if you wanted to ship it some place else likes to a customer for example you might have a system where that is the case if you chose Anderson guitars then this field will populate based on the clients shipping address and you could you can use a system like that if you so choose but we're gonna imagine it's coming to us in our warehouse in Beverly Hills 90210 and we're gonna say that we don't actually have a warehouse there by the way but I'm just that's what I like to use because no one no one remembers the TV show 90210 anymore I didn't but that's what that's that's that's the zip code that just comes to mind all the time so any case so so 112 other than mine I don't want to use my zip code because that would be weird so any case shipping address ship area and then down here notice the category field is not populated because we're not going to assign it to a category because if we used a category it would assign it just to the account like inventory but would not be tracking the inventory on a perpetual inventory system so we would only use this category field if we're not tracking the inventory on a perpetual inventory system in our books meaning not the units of inventory so I'm going to use the item and we set up the items before you will recall so we're going to put some multiple lines on here in accordance to what we put in the product list which you can find under the sales section we did in a prior presentation so I'm going to say ELP so this is going to be like the abbreviation that I put in for it I probably should have listed the name and then put that in the SKU number but it is what it is there it is we'll pick that one up that's an epiphone less Paul if I'm not pronouncing it right or treating it right or this isn't the cost of them we're just making up some stuff here okay so that's not the actual cost now note we put the quantity in the rate that rate is being populated because we put this information into our items list the customer is something that we could populate but don't always need to because obviously when we're purchasing the guitars the people were purchasing it from epiphone doesn't care about who we're selling it to they just want to ship it to us why would we have a customer field then well possibly that can help us to determine once we receive the guitars who we bought them for we can turn around and sell them to a particular


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering IBM Think 2019, brought to you by IBM. Hello everyone, welcome to the live coverage here at theCUBE in San Francisco for IBM Think 2019. I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante. We're here with Irvan Krishnan, Senior Vice President in Cloud and Cognitive Software at IBM, man in charge of all the cloud products, cloud everywhere, AI anywhere. Irvan, great to see you. Thanks for spending the time. I know you're super busy. Thanks for spending the time. I'm pleasure to be here, John and Dave. Great to see you. So we talked at the Red Hat Summit last year. You essentially laid out the vision for microservices, Kubernetes, how this all was kind of coming together. Then the Red Hat acquisition, and now you're seeing big news here at IBM Think, setting the stage here in San Francisco for AI Anywhere, which is cognitive kind of all over the cloud, and then really clarity around the cloud, multi-cloud strategy, end to end workloads, all kind of tied together on-premise in the cloud. Super important for IBM. Explain and unpack that for us. What does it mean? So I'm going to begin unpacking it from where actually I left off last year. So just for 10 seconds. Last year we talked a lot about containerized platforms are going to become the future. That'll be the fabric on which every enterprise is going to build their IT and their future. Okay, so we talked about that last year and I think with the announced acquisition of Red Hat that gets cemented and that'll go further once that closes. Now you take that and now you take it to the next level up of value. So take Watson. Watson runs as a containerized set of services. If it's a containerized set of services, it could run on what we call cloud private. Cloud private in turn runs on top of OpenShift. So then you say wherever OpenShift runs, I can run this entire stack. Where does OpenShift run today? It runs on Amazon, it runs on the IBM cloud, it runs on Azure, it runs on your premise. So on the simple, simple, I always like things that are simple. So Watson runs on cloud private, runs on OpenShift, runs on all these infrastructures that I just mentioned, that gives you Watson anywhere. You want it close to your data, run it on prem. You want to run it on Azure, run it there. You want to run it on the IBM cloud, you run it there. And hence that's the complete story. That says it was more important for you to give customers choice than it was to keep Watson to yourself to try to sell more cloud. I think that every company that survives a long term learns that choice to a customer is really important. And forcing customers to do things only one way is generally in the long term a bad strategy. So from a customer standpoint, just so I get the facts right on the hard news, Watson anywhere now, I can run Watson via containerization, OpenShift, things you mentioned, on AWS, Azure, Microsoft, Azure, and IBM's cloud, cloud private and all that. And on premise. And on premise. All cohesively end to end. Correct, in an identical way, which means even if you do things one place, you build a model in one place, you could go deploy a model in another place. So it gives you that flexibility also. So I'm a customer state. All right, but this sounds too crazy. It's too hard to do that. I've tried all this multi-cloud stuff. I got all this stuff. Why is it easier? How do you guys make this happen? What is the key secret sauce? We're pulling that end to end AI anywhere on multiple clouds, on premises, and through the workloads? Two levels. One, we go to a container infrastructure as that common layer that isolates out what is the bottom infrastructure from everything that runs on top. So going to the common services and a Kubernetes and a container layer that is common across all these environments does the isolation of the bottom infrastructure. That's hot engineering, but we do that engineering. The second piece is, you've taken the Watson set of capabilities and also put them into just three pieces.  So we've done that engineering as well. Well, congratulations. I want to get the cloud anywhere. I mean, it's cloud. It's essentially everything's anywhere now. You've got data everywhere. You've got cloud everywhere, cloud operations. Where's the multi-cloud and hybrid fit in? Because now if I can do AI anywhere via containerization, shouldn't I be able to run any workload on premise and in multiple clouds? So we fundamentally believe that. So when I was here last time, we talked about the container fabrics. And I do believe that we need to get to the point where these can run anywhere. So you take the container fabric and you can go run that anywhere, right? So that's one piece of it. The next part up is, but I now need to integrate. So I now need to bring in all my pieces. How do I integrate this application with another is the old problem of integration back again. So whether you want to use MQ or you want to use Kafka, you want to use one of these technologies, how do I get them to couple one workflow to another workflow? How do I get them to be secure? How do I get them to be resilient in the presence of crashes, in the presence of latency and all that? So that's another big piece of announcements that we're making. You can take that complete set of integration technologies and those can run anywhere on any cloud. Again, using the same pattern I described, I'm not going to go into that again. And on premise, so you can now knit all of those together. Arvind, can you talk about the rationale for the Red Hat acquisition, specifically in the context of developers? IBM over the years has made many efforts to court developers. Now with the Red Hat acquisition, it's eight million developers. And talk about specifically the importance of developers and how that's changed your strategy or enhanced your strategy. I'm going to enhance it, it's not really a change. I think we all acknowledge developers have always been important and will remain important. I mean, IBM has done a great job, I think over the last 20 years in both helping create the whole developer ecosystem, for example, around Java. We were a very big piece of that. Not the only participant in there, there were others, but we were a big piece of that. So you now take Red Hat and Linux and OpenShift and Open Source and JBoss and all of these technologies. There's a big ecosystem of developers. You mentioned the eight million number, but why did that set of people come along? They come along because they get a lot of value from developing on top of something that in turn has so many other people on top. I think there's half a million pieces of software which use Red Hat as the primary infrastructure on which they develop. So it's the network effect that really is that value. And the network effect can only come from, you keep it open, you keep it running on the widest possible base, and then they get the value that if they develop on that, they get access to that entire base on which Red Hat runs. So it totally makes sense? Totally makes sense, but I want to dig deeper on that. We cover a lot of developer, the business side of developers, not so much ins and outs of developer tools and stuff. There's a lot of stack overflow variety, other sources do that. So developers want two things. They want to be on the right wave. You're laying out a great platform for that. Then there's monetization. Amazon has seen massive growth on their partner network. You guys have an ecosystem, you mentioned that. How does this anywhere philosophy impact the ecosystem because they want to partner with IBM. Where's the white spaces? What's the opportunity for partners? How should they evolve with IBM? What's your direction on that? Okay, so two kinds of partners. One, there's a set of partners who bring a huge set of value to their clients because they actually provide the domain knowledge, the application-specific knowledge, the management expertise, the operational expertise on top of technologies perhaps that we provide. That set of partners is always going to have value. I talked yesterday at a partner world conference about what Cognizant, who's a bigger partner, they do. They build a self-service application for patients of a medical provider to be able to get remote access to doctors when they couldn't get in or when it was not life-threatening immediately. Well, that's a huge set of value that they provide built on top of our technologies and products. A second kind of partner where you went on developers is people who do open-source packages. I think we've been quite good. We don't tend to cannibalize our partners unlike some others we can talk about. So for those partners who have that value, we can put our investment in other places but we could help maybe give access to the enterprise market for those developers, which I think opens up a lot of opportunity. You guys make the market for developers. That's right. All right, I want to ask you a question.  Red Hat made a great bet on Kubernetes and now that you're harvesting that with their acquisition, huge growth there. Containers, everyone saw containers. That was kind of a no-brainer, technical world, developers saw it. What's the importance of Kubernetes? As you see Kubernetes starting to shrink the abstraction software overlay in this new complexity where Kubernetes is providing great value. What does that mean, this trend mean for CIOs, CTOs, CSOs? As enterprise start to think cohesive set of services across on-prem, multiple clouds, Kubernetes seems to be a key point. What is the impact of it? What does it mean? I think I'll go to the business benefit. Kubernetes in the end is an orchestration layer. It takes away management complexity. It takes away the cost of doing operations in a large cluster of physical resources. I think the value for the CIO level is the following. Today, on average, 70% of your total cost and people are tied up in maintaining what you have, 30% is on new. That's the rough rule of thumb. Technologies like Kubernetes have taken to where we want it to go. Can flip that to 30, 70. Meaning you need to spend only 30% maintaining what you have and you could then go spend 70% on doing innovation which is going to make your end client happier and your business happier. Your teams had a couple of announcements today. One was HyperProtect and the other was a lot of services to facilitate hybrid. Can you talk about those and bring us up to date on it? Yeah, a quick one. So HyperProtect means, so when you put your data in the cloud, everybody gets worried about, well, if it's in the clear, it could get stolen. So you go to encryption. Typically, encryption is then done with a key. Well, who manages that key? The HyperProtect services are all about that key management is common across both, again in a hybrid world, across both your premise and in the cloud. And nobody in the cloud, not even our deepest system administrator in the cloud, can get access to that key. That's pretty remarkable when you think about it. And so that provides a level of safety and encryption that should give you a lot of reassurance that nobody can get hold of that data. That's HyperProtect. And then if I go to all of the other services we're doing, some clients need a lot of help, some want advice, like in the three client meetings I just had, every one of them was asking, what should I keep where I got it? What should I slightly modernize? What should I write new? That to me is a whole lot of advice that you need on how to assess what you have and what should be your correct strategy. Then once you do that, somebody will say, well, help me move it. Others will say, help me manage it. So all the services to go do that is a big piece of what we're announcing. End to end. End to end, in addition to, but end to end, but also you can carve it up. Nope, only give me advice. Or nope, I got my strategy laid out, help me move it. Or nope, do both for me, or help me manage it after I move it, et cetera. Harvard, when you sit in customer meetings, big clients write me in, when they say we want to modernize, what does that mean to you and how do you respond to that? Well, so modernize is normally today, it means that you've got to bring cloud technologies, you've got to bring AI technologies, you've got to bring what is called digital transformation all to bear. It's got to be in the service of either client intimacy or it's got to be in terms of doing straight through processing as opposed to the old way of doing all the business processes that you have. And then you get into, always got to begin with some easy wins. So I always say, begin with the easy stuff, not begin with the harder stuff, but start with the architecture that lets you do the harder stuff later, it's not throw away. And those are all the discussions that we have, which are always a mixture of this people process technology, that world has not changed, we need to worry about all three. Arun, thanks for spending your valuable time coming on theCUBE. We appreciate the insight, I know you're super busy. Final question, take a minute to explain this year, think what's the core theme, what's the most important story people should pay attention to this year at IBM Think in San Francisco? I think there's two things and the both is that it's the evolution that is giving greater business value. We're using the word that is chapter two of the cloud journey and it's chapter two of a cognitive enterprise. So chapter two means that you're now getting into solving really mission critical workloads and that's what is happening there and that's enabled through the mixture of what we're calling hybrid and multi-cloud strategies.

Why narcissists pick the best of the best? It's no secret that narcissists pick the best of the best. They want someone who is handsome or beautiful. They want someone who is powerful and successful. Someone who has lots of money. And of course they decide these things because it improves their image. It makes them look good and it provides them with money and resources to do what they want to do. But there is another reason why they pick the best of the best. And that is because they want to break you down. They want to destroy someone who they believe is less deserving. They are very evil people. They are looking to cause something bad, harmful and dangerous to happen. And this is especially true for malignant narcissists and psychopaths. They find pleasure in lying, manipulating and using other people to get the things that they want. They target innocent people. People who never did anything to them. You may have upgraded their lives.  They didn't have the time or money to worry about superficial things. To where they were then living luxuriously with class and money. You pulled them out of a ditch. You worked a good friend to them. You spent a lot of time with them. You served as their partner. You gave the best that you had. You gave them your all. You didn't do anything wrong.  Because there was something about you that they didn't like.  To break you down. Just because they didn't like something about you. They always had to create some emotional and unexpected event or circumstance. But they made it seem like they're this charitable or helpful person as though they help other people. Especially strangers who have trouble. But they have to create drama and chaos. They have to create a difference or disagreement between people. They get into your life by acting as though they're on your side as though they're trying to help and assist you. When really they're just trying to get close enough to you so that they can tear everything to pieces. But you're not expecting that to happen. You don't even see it coming because it's covert. It's under the radar. They know how to relieve you of hostility and suspicion by winning your affection and approval. They gain access to you by playing the role of a close friend. Someone who shares a secret or private matter. Someone who you can trust and share your feelings and secrets with. Someone who wants to unite a resource and commodity with you for mutual benefit. Because they make you feel like you're in a minority group as though you're discriminated against. So it's you and them against the world. It's you and them in contrast and opposition to everyone. When in reality they can't stand you.   But to do that they have to gain access to you. They have to get close. They have to establish a friendly harmonious relationship with you which is characterized by agreement. So that you will trust them. So that you won't even see it coming. You have to look at a lot of the things they did to you. How they lied. How they treated your feelings and your property. Things that meant something to you. They didn't care about that. That was at your expense. Because they're not in it for the long run. It's just for recreational use and it's fun for them to tear you down. It's fun for them to break you apart. And turn people against you. It brings them pleasure to know that they are the cause of your destruction. To know that they have destroyed your life. They dwell on their success at creating your misfortune with smugness and menacing pleasure. They feel great pleasure and satisfaction because of your failure or bad luck. It makes them feel powerful and important. To break you down.  To make people turn against you. It brings them great pleasure and enjoyment. They love it. Narcissists picked the best for the best for a reason. They picked you because you have a lot of good things going on in your life. You're strong and independent. You have the quality and power of producing and abundance. You perform exceptionally well. And they are always watching people like that. They are always looking to lessen the effectiveness, power and ability of that type of person. They see it as a challenge. They see it as though if you're so strong and powerful then they shouldn't be able to prevent you from continuing. So they begin their journey to see if they can be the one who breaks you. But they also do it to change you. To turn you from good to bad in morals, manners and actions. To destroy your integrity. To cause you to be dishonest and disloyal. To cause you to become just like them. Whatever morals or values you have. They will try to corrupt it. They will lead you away from what is considered natural and acceptable. They will lead you away from whatever you believe in. From whatever you stand for. Because it gives them a thrill. It boosts their ego. It makes them feel powerful and important. They will proceed in a gradual, subtle way. But with very harmful effects. Where they gradually introduce you to things that are unpleasant and dangerous. Activities that are distasteful and disapproved of. Many of them have drug, alcohol, gambling or shop and addictions. They may be involved in fraud, bribery or prostitution. And they will try to get you caught up in that. They will try to get you to be a willing participant. They will try to get you to accept it. To see it as normal. Because they want to corrupt you. They want to change you. They want you to become morally depraved. Which is why they will try to introduce you to drugs, alcohol or gambling. They will try to get you involved in things that you wouldn't normally be involved in. They will try to get you to do things that you wouldn't normally do. Because once they can get you to overlook or accept one thing. It's a lot easier for them to get you to do other things. And then it's all downhill after that. And then they can look at you and laugh. Knowing that they caused that. They are the reason why you are acting differently. They took you from one thing to another thing. But when it's all said and done they want nothing to do with you. They get rid of you. Because by that point you're useless to them. And for many of you this is the most difficult part to understand. Because you did so much for them. You changed so much about yourself. You accepted things that you would never normally accept. Just to fit in with their wishes and needs. Just to make them more comfortable. And it was all for nothing. They left secretly and unexpectedly and without being seen. Or you just couldn't take it anymore. You had to let them go. But you accepted standards that were lower than what you desired. You changed so much about yourself to please them. To make them happy.  Because when you're cooperating with them that's all they're going to do. But they managed to give a little bit of themselves at least in the beginning. To leave a feeling and effect that existed for enough time. For you to want to keep putting out for them. Because you're trying to get what you thought with this wonderful person back into the control. And behaving as they should. Based on what they showed you in the beginning. But that character they displayed to you never existed. It wasn't real. That's not who they really are. It's just something they used to seduce you and break you down to the state that you were in. They used that character to gain access to your life. By acting as though they cared about you. When really they were trying to tear everything apart. It's sick and twisted but this is what they do. This is what they like. This is what drives them. It's what makes them happy. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up.
