The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes. At 1-877-927-6648. Or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now, Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to the January 14th, the terrific Tuesday or Taco Tuesday edition of today's Trader's Edge. I'm your host, Steve. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Oh, everyone out there is having a great day. Hey, let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. We knew, and I make that one little two-by-four shift. It means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance. That life is going to toss at us. Not today, you and I. We're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what the bulls and the bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I, just past one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know that I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but much more important than that. During this next hour, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to give us a call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't call in, no problem. We've got you covered there. Feel free to send me an email. Steve at TFNN.com. Inside the subject heading, please put radio show question. Of course, and our tiger is dead. Well, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on terrific Tuesday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to Let's Show. Right now, we've got all indices trading in the green. You've got the Dow 139 points, about a half a percent to the upside. The S&P up five points, about less than two tenths of a percent. NASDAQ 100 really just turned. It's flat. It's up three points. Russell's up 13 points. So there's your big mover and shaker. Semis are up 9 tenths of a percent. That's 17 points out there. Transports. 100 three quarters percent. 148 points. They're trading out 11 to 11 out there. Spot volatile next back 24 cents. Gold is off seven. Silver's down 24 cents. Lights recruit up 24 cents. Got a lot of 24s out there. Natural gas up a nickel. As we speak, that's a little over 2 percent. Leading the charge to the upside. Corona therapeutics up nearly 10 bucks. Riyadh pharmaceuticals up nine. Restoration hardware up eight and change. Bacore holdings up eight. To the downside, it's Mercado Libre off 5 percent. That's $37. Amazon's off a little over 1 percent or 21 bucks. Martin Marietta down nine bucks or about three and a half percent. Molina healthcare down 6 percent or about nine bucks. The first question, only question so far that has come in. The question is on the two hour chart for the NQ. Let's pull that over here. 120 minute time frame. I can do that math. And the question is, did this thing make a peak G? We do the wave counts down here from this low on, it looks like January the seventh out here. We start doing our counts from there. The answer to your question is, yeah, I've got seven. I've got wave number seven as well out here. Price pulled back. But what price did John in the pullback? So whenever we get a topping pattern or signal out here, in this case here, it's both pattern and a signal, get into wave number seven. That is letter G on my screen out there. This is seventh letter of the alphabet. Then what sellers have the right to do and what they should do to, for you and I to be able to determine their strength is push price down to support. Now what we can see here is they did that. They accomplished that task and they were not able to get it really below support. Now, granted, there was a candle close right here. Let's go take a look at it. This was at about what, nine? A 10 o'clock this morning. So at the 10 o'clock hour, on a two hour timeframe chart, there was a close below. But Stevie likes to see not one hit wonders. That means a second close below. And that is not what took place. Now right now we've gotten essence of consolidation because price is trading between support, which is going to be the low of that 10 a.m. session out here, and resistance, which is Stevie's green line at the 90, 93 area. So it's kind of in the neutral stage. Is there a top? Yes. Did sellers push price back to where they were supposed to? Yes. Did they break the backs of sellers? And the answer there, and that's really important, the answer there is no. In order to really break the backs of us sellers here, you probably got to close below $89.3250. There's several breakout steps along the way to the upside. On the two hour timeframe chart, you've got $89.32, $89.84, and then above that $9,375. No change in trend signal. Just simply top with a normal retracement back to a level of support. So I hope that answers your question with regard to the NQ for its two-hour timeframe. Of course, the bigger timeframes, those are more important. We take a look at the daily timeframe. Let's just go stick with the NQ. We can see that price, even though it's a beautiful thing, I mean, it continues to move higher, but it's doing so with less relative energy. Now, that only becomes a problem for bearish reversal candle forms. But you might say, well, wait a minute, Stevo. I hear you. I see you. I'm following you. Well, what about yesterday's dark cloud cover candle inside the NQ? Was that yesterday? That doesn't make any sense to me. That had to be Friday. 1110. Yeah, this is a daily chart. There's something going on. I've been having some trouble with my data feed out here. That's a real bummer. Not the data. I'm not sure what problems or issues we're going on. Let me just, John, before I be not so fast, I want to make sure that the intraday chart was picking up the right price pretty close to it. Yeah. 9083. We're at 9085. I'm not sure why the little bit of a delay there. But yeah, it is. But for some reason there's something messed up on the daily timeframe chart. So I'm going to have to reboot everything. Can't do that during the show. But what we can do is just simply come on over here and take a look what's going on with regard to the NQ. You can see it's made a, so there was your dark cloud cover candle. That was from January 10th. But again, when we take a look at that chart, now I can pull this over. What price was unable to do, price was unable to close below Stevie's green line. That's really your first line in this case here because of its profiles. That's its first line of support. Price must close below that level in order to suggest, because that line was green, in order to suggest that there is a further retracement. For Jay in the Tiger's Den, here's what we can see. No new profiles. So the one that we were looking at yesterday inside the ESMini for its daily timeframe, in fact, did not form. Not surprising out there. Nothing new. The Russell 2000 is trying to join the ranks of the other three by closing above the top of its daily profile. The top of its daily profile is basically where it's trading right now. That area is 1684. We're trading at 1684. We'll forget the change out here. Now if price closes over 1687, 80, that is the high from 2019. Well, then it will join the ranks of the bullish breakout scenario that the ESNQ and Dow have in place as we speak right now, 113 in the afternoon. So watch that 1687, 80 area inside of the Russell 2000. We take a little bit of a picture, a snapshot of the health of the New York Stock Exchange. We're going to see panel number two in the center. That's the advanced client oscillator reading. That's taking a look at the difference between the 19 and 39 day, because we're looking at a daily chart here. Exponential moving average of the advanced decline line, advanced decline info. And it is above zero. That's a little red line going in the center of that chart there. You're at 46.91. That's bullish. Spotball atchilics below its 50-day exponential moving average, which is 1347. That's a bullish out there. That ain't no bull. Steve Rhodes with TFNN will be right.

Folks, right now we've got the Dow off 138, up 138. The S&P is up about five, the Nasdaq 100 still basically nearly unchanged for the day. I do see a number of questions that have come in. What I'm going to try to do during this really while I'm on the air right here and everything else, so I see something popped up that I didn't necessarily intend for it to pop up. I was going to try to maybe see if I could get my other system here going, but nonetheless, let's just go with what we've got, right? We can always come back, and so it looks like the first question coming in is from Robert B. So his question here, he's got some other comments, but not necessarily more for me personally than for you, for all of us out here. My question relates to SLV. Do we have a change in trend on a long-term basis to the downside? That would be a good entry point to short silver. So I really do wish I had those other charts here in the post, but I don't. So let's go take a look at, and I wish I could find my cursor. That would also be a very helpful thing.  Was it a full moon here recently or something? I think that it was. So let's go take a look at the silver contract, grab the information that we can. Let's look at silver this way. This will take just a moment to populate, but that's okay because it should give you a nice view, should give us a nice view of silver. For its daily, its weekly, its monthly, and its quarterly timeframe, but just simply take a look at the profile level. So what we're going to be checking for here is, in Robert's case, he's asking is there a change in trend. I really need my other tools to give us the patterns that are associated, but I believe that there is for these different timeframes. Now what we're just simply waiting for, excuse me, is for the profiles to populate. And so we've got the weekly, we've got the quarterly, and we've got the monthly. Now we're just waiting for these daily profiles to... But what we do know is that price is back inside the weekly profile out here, not seeing charts. Oh, well, thank you. Let me change that so that you can't see the charts. So there we go. So now you've got that. So now we've got the charts up here. And so, yeah, so price is below the bottom of its daily profile. That was a bullish structured profile. That is effective as of today. Now the bottom of that silver profile, man, is, let me get out here, is $17.92. So $17.92. So Robert, as long as there is a close below $17.92 today. Remember, we've got our little two-day rule out here that would include tomorrow as well. Then what that suggests to both you and I is that... And we'll use... I'll borrow one of Tom's expressions, and that is that silver's back in the range. What range is that? Well, on the weekly basis, it's the range of its TAS market profiles. The top of that box was $1805. The center, which is closer to the bottom, and it's a bullish structured profile. This is where buyers are lined up on the weekly basis between $16.95 down to the $16.58 level. So this would suggest to me that silver is headed down into that area. Price is above the top of its monthly profile. So that's nice, but that doesn't mean there can't be a pullback. And that pullback would be targeting the top of its profile. That's at $16.72 out there. But from... So, yeah, there's a... There is and appears to be a change in trend. Let's see if I do this here. Give me a moment to... New chart. Let's see if we can get... And I hate to do this during the show, but I usually have everything set up, which I did have it set up, but just wasn't getting the right data feed. But I just want to try to get a chart here of silver populated. So if you'll just simply humor me for a moment, let's pull up the March contract. Let's change this to a daily timeframe, a daily timeframe. Let's go to Stevie's template here for the daily without the TAS profiles. And let's see what happens when this thing populates over here on one of my screens. Okay, it would be good to populate. And let's see what price it comes up. Yeah, it comes up with $17.99. So this is showing yesterday's level, but that's okay. I'm going to go ahead and use that. So price is trading at $17.74 right now. What I also want you to notice here, Robert, is that the breakout level for silver was $17.81. That was based upon its most recent TD9 count pattern. And yes, this did form with bar number nine about TD9 count. Price is now below the breakout level of $17.81. And this would suggest that silver could pull back all the way to the $16.82 area. Now you would ask me about intermediate term, I believe. So I would have to change the weekly timeframe, which I will do right here. Now that oscillator and change line, I've got to change that just here for a moment until during the break, I'll get things kind of modified just a tad. But give me a second. What did I do there? Oh, here's what I need to do. So now we take a look at the, so on the weekly timeframe for silver and answering your question here, you can see that the actual top came in with a TD9 count. But that was way back on September 6, 2019. $17.87 is the number for it. It's oscillator and change line price trade in 17.75. So prices below that too. And all that suggests a further retracement is in order here. So I know that was a long-winded way of doing it, but it still was the accurate way to do it and to answer. So your question was, you know, where is a entry point? At this stage of the game, you know, I would have to say if you're going to go ahead and short silver be $17.92. That's the bottom. It'd be between $17.92 and $1803 out there. I always cautious people. Yes, I have a bearish outlook for gold and silver, precious metals. But what's really important here, you know, and that should help you. Now look, if you're trading that, and I know, Bob, you're good, like I know you're experienced trader and you're choosing the SLV out there. What I don't like about that, so to speak, is the fact that we know that gold and silver, certainly gold, they're going to move because of geopolitical events out there. And so in order to really take a short trade in those precious metals out there, I would think you have to say to yourself that all the geopolitical concerns out there are at least at a normal level. What would that be? Norad level number one or something? Who knows what? At a normal level versus, let's say, a heightened level. And I would have to say that we're at a heightened level, so to speak, out there. So yeah, everything is set up so that gold and precious metals want to continue to pull back the mining equities as well out there. But to actually go ahead and dip your toe in the water to take that short position at a time where we clearly know, like we clearly know, you and I, there's no magic here. There's everybody that used to say, and everybody does say that because of quantitative easing, gold is going to go to the moon. We know that that's a load of malarkey, because that is not what unfolded out here. So don't try to confuse, I'm not saying you, Bob, and you might say you, I'm just us out there. Don't try to talk yourself into that the easy trade on gold or silver, precious metals is, jeez, if we're printing money, it's got to go up. It's not how gold operates. That's not how silver operates. But Bob, in answering your question, yeah, it looks like silver wants to head lower. Change in trend signal today. Steve Rojo, T.F. & N. Hope you're right. T.F. & N.

This one coming in from Lee. Lee writes in and says, I bought Cronos, or C-R-O-N as a ticker symbol on a pullback this morning. Give me your take on both the short and longer-term outlook. Let's move over here and take a look at Cronos Group. C-R-O-N is the ticker symbol. The very first thing that we know, Lee, is that price is trading below the weekly and monthly profile level.  That's going to be $790 and $836. Doesn't mean price can't retake those. Just know that that is your resistance level. That is the bottom of a profile out there. If price can get above that area, then that would suggest on the weekly and the monthly time frame chart that you would be targeting the center. Those are both bullet-structured profiles out there. So then you'd be looking at your next resistance would be somewhere between $890 and $1022. Now price is trading above the top of its daily box right now. This could be the second day in a row. If it is, this would be the second day in a row since that box has been in effect. That would kind of qualify as covering Stevie's two-day program out there. So your question was, can you give me your take on both the short and longer term outlook? So let's go take a look at the daily time frame. $774 is where it's printing. This chart does not have today's data out there. So let's just keep that in mind. This would suggest, now this did have a nice little erosive indicator bottom pattern out there. That bullish engulfing candle back in November, give you the date. That was November the 20th.  And if in fact, Chronos is getting our CRO in is getting ready to move the heck out of here. Its target on the daily time frame would be $1177. Let me go take a look at the weekly for you. See what's going on there. The weekly also has a rose momentum indicator bottom pattern out here. Its target to the upside would be $1241. So, you know, if you have any other areas, hopefully you wrote those down on a pad of paper, your other areas of resistance. And then on the monthly time frame it shows that looks like this may be a TD set up nine count bottom. That is in effect out here. And so, yeah, everything looks pretty good. Just know that you've got some resistance there, Lee. That $790 and $836. Those are going to be your first real critical areas to get through. So best of luck with that and that's going to be a great opportunity to get a little bit of a little bit of a push investment. HD writes in and ask if we could take a look at PYPL. I believe that's PayPal out there. So, let's do that. Let me move over and change over my other charts even though we're only looking at yesterday's data. The question is going long. So, there's two positions out here looking at. So, in the case of PayPal, PayPal has, you know, clearly broken out prices above the top of the daily. Prices above the top of the weekly. Looks like prices headed to the top of the monthly. That's $1,1752. Nothing to give us indication whether price will be able to take that out or not HD. So, I don't see the reward risk set up here knowing that you've got trading at $1,1481, knowing that you've got resistance in that $1,1752 level out there. Looks like on the daily timeframe chart this will become day number seven of a TD set up nine count pattern. It did form in the case of PayPal, a nice road momentum indicator bottom with that hammer candle back on October the 23rd. So, the daily, the only caution on the daily might be a TD nine count pattern that it could form. The weekly, this is going to be bar eight of a TD nine count out there. So, this also, we know that if this pattern were to identify a top or a bottom, in this case, you're a top, that could occur on bars eight, nine following nine. And on the monthly timeframe chart here for PayPal, prices begun moving higher doing less relative energy out there. So, I would say, in looking at PayPal, not that it can't move higher, and in fact it should move higher. It should move up into at least that one, I can't say at least, it should move up into that $1,1752 range, but I don't see the risk reward there for you to take that type of a trade. SHAK So, let's go take a look at it. And this is a ShakeShack. So, ShakeShack maybe has more to offer. Maybe, maybe not. Let's go take a look at it. Here's what we know about ShakeShack. Right now, if this is going to break out, and when I say break out, I'm looking at a daily timeframe chart, what we can see here is not since September 24th has ShakeShack been able to trade above resistance of its task market profiles, resistance being the top of the box. Now, brand new profile forms today. The bottom of that profile, as you can see if you look in the data box, bottom says $59.23, top says $62.31. It's trading at $62.85. If ShakeShack closes above that today, and then again tomorrow HD, well this would be a suggestion to you and I that it should continue to move higher. Now I don't know if it's found a bottom or not, one of the tools that I use to identify a bottom, but just because it may or may not doesn't mean that there's not one that's out there. So you can also use these profile levels to say, hey, it's now doing something it hasn't been able to do for quite some time out here, and this would suggest that it does want to move higher. Now, we've got that real gap to the downside. That could be a resistance area in around the 71 and change level, but that's what the daily timeframe is showing. The weekly timeframe is then saying, well if you can close above and maybe change that trend on the daily basis, what price ought to be able to just get up to the top of its weekly profile. So your target, your initial target out here is going to be 65.86. Now the monthly, the beautiful thing about the monthly is that it is a bullish structured profile and the top of that box is 78.31. So 65.86, 78.31 are your price targets. Remember, this chart here does not have today's activity. We're just trying to scan to see if there was a bottom and voila, there was a roadsman to indicator bottom pattern. There really were two of those cameras. So Shake Shack is, at least shareholders, are most certainly trying to form and identify a bottom out here. The target level on a daily basis for Shake Shack using Stevie's tools is 103.76. That's its TD9 count resistance level. Of course, there's other resistance before price were to get up there. On the weekly timeframe for Shake Shack out here, HD, we can see that what price did was it pulled back to test its breakout area at 58.15. We can see that the green line had turned red. That tells us about a meetup between price and the oscillator and change line in the 67 area out here. So if you're asking me which of the two should you take a trade-in to the upside, if you're a momentum trader, well, then you can do PayPal knowing where you've got resistance. If you are trying to buy a bottom with the intent that, okay, it's been a solid bottom, I think we've just proven that the stock market is at least nearly a million weekly at least have lined up to where they have formed that bottom type pattern. So you go ahead and take the trade. So depending on your nature, you'd like to see a second close above 62.31. You'd like to see a close above that today out there to suggest that a change in trend may be in order for Shake Shack. So HD, thanks so much for writing in. Much good. Thank you so much. I'm Willie. Willie wants to take a look at ticker symbol here LX. So let's go take a look at that and see what that is. LX is Lex, Lexine FinTech. Lexin FinTech. Okay. It is what it is. It is an IPO that takes us back into the 2018 January 2018 timeframe prices trade back to $1,000 a month. So we're going to take a look at the weekly nothing in the monthly timeframe chart. This suggests. You want to buy this. You're not in. So when we come back to this break, we're going to go take a look at how this has given you a nice topping signal. Price should pull back to 1306 to 1331. We'll be right back. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida, the tax act of 2018 set up tax free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable.

TIGER TV That's tfn.com Then hit watch Tiger TV for the latest market information. Welcome back folks. Dow's up 96 S&Ps up two points out there. Let's continue looking at ticker symbol LX that is Lexfin Tech Holdings out here and we can see the prices trading above the daily and the weekly profiles out there but those profiles are not going to be used to help us identify topping patterns. What would help us identify for example the TD setup nine count pattern so when this equity formed its most recent bottom it was back here on the trading day of December 13th it was bar number nine of a TD nine count. Now what it's done is it's moved up and it formed a roads momentum indicator top it did this on Friday January the 10th it had follow through yesterday. Oh wait a minute no I've got the 11th so it's missing the 13th so my system is chugging along here but it hasn't completely filled in everything very no that's just picking up yesterday's data my apology there but here's really what I wanted to what we do know is it's trading below Stevie's green line out there both yesterday and now today you've got the topping signal and this would suggest that this could pull back to 1166 out here that is the breakout but it suggests that it wants to pull back further at least that's with the daily time frame and you're looking to enter this so we're going to still suggest at this stage here watch the 1331-1306 level inside this symbol on the weekly time frame chart the area to watch give or take penny wise is around 1308 that is Stevie's green line no topping signal here on the weekly time frame chart that's okay the daily right now is ruling it nothing to nothing to on the weekly side nothing to suggest that this doesn't want to continue higher that this is just a topping signal on a daily basis to go ahead and pull price back to a support level and so you're in between that 1308 1306 1331 level unless there's something that transpires you know on the way down or something like that but that's how I would take a look at it I hope that that helps you out with regard to ticker symbol Alex and thanks for writing in I don't see any other questions that have come by email believe that there was one inside the den with regard to the spy and what was the question with regard to the spy so let me take a look at it out here the question was short-term levels of resistance on the spy so let's go ahead and put this spy we could do this if you wanted to right why don't we do this it may take just a moment to populate out here but we're going to take a look at the spy we can do this with the ETF and with this I can provide for you the daily weekly monthly and quarterly profiles now my experiences I rather rely upon the equity futures contracts but that's neither here nor there you don't need me to harp on that but you're looking for what was it resistance level support levels what was it where was the question here I'm just looking for it my apology but the spy and comes and goes spy just short-term levels of resistance well just for levels of resistance on the spy when we take a look at this chart out here and that was Jimmy I think you're asking about short levels of resistance out here now we take a look at this set of tools take a look at the daily the weekly the monthly the quarterly man everything is above those resistance levels so where's the next resistance level short-term unfortunately I've got some issues I've got some data feed issues so I don't know my short-term time frame charts up here you know that I can can can post you back to but I just simply want to give you maybe the the bigger picture out here how can I do that well but take a look at the S&P 500 so you're asking where is resistance out here so let's use the cash on this chart and this is really helpful when prices above you know like a TD 9 count breakdown level or it's an all-time highs or it's above there's no task market profiles so here we can take a look at our horizontal trading ranges on this chart what we have Jimmy is we have the daily weekly and monthly and what we can see here is that the S&P 500 is run into its monthly horizontal trading range that's about $32.97 the daily is $33.19 and the weekly is $33.60 so those are really your resistance levels that we have out here inside the S&P and take a look at daily, weekly and monthly time frames out there so I hope that helps out if I take a look at the ES mini now so the ES mini is going to look different than the S&P 500 what the ES mini is suggesting to you Jimmy is that where it wants to head to is $33.59 to $34.02 yes I don't have the daily profiles up here I can add those give me a second here to do that and so here are the dailies you'll see the dailies are really up in that same general area so with regard to the futures contract I know you're taking the side you're taking the downside side of the market out here and yes price is moving higher doing less relative energy no doubt about that that's part of the rose momentum indicator signal and it's like that through a plethora of symbols and it says that you need to be cautious however are there other real sell signals out here to suggest that you or somebody else take that short position now from an intraday standpoint now you may be an intraday trader but I've got folks listening in right and I don't want them to confuse my language and maybe you're looking at a 10 or 30 minute chart or something along those lines so really just trying to give you the bigger picture but even using these larger time frames here's a 30 minute time frame we can use to try to make a determination okay so you do have price now below perigee okay so that's good so that would be a short term positive it's not though it's not below that level a key level that came in yesterday about 431 I believe in the afternoon but it's not below that level for the Dow which has been weaker over the last week we'll say or whatever the Russell 2000 yeah you've got to tread very carefully out here I really think you should tread very carefully this is still a buy the dip market it still is even at this point in time yeah I mean the advanced decline here so I can do this for short term let me fire this up here because let's just say this way I can try to help out everybody for their different time frame so let me if short of some type of topping pattern and I don't have my short term time frame chart so I can't go there to determine whether there is or there isn't so let's not spend time there but what I can do historical data still being loaded what the heck so strange some of these there we go so in this case what I'm going to do is pull this over here now what this is we're taking a look at the task market profiles and we're taking a look at their 60 minute 240 minute daily and weekly and so Jimmy another reason to really consider treading slowly let's just start with the 60 minute time frame I've got one more time frame I could look at I do have a way to pull up a 30 minute time frame I don't know if I have it on this computer yet but here's what you do know right now as we speak that move lower was some kind of news event out there right something something I saw some folks posted some things in the dam when I was busy doing other stuff let me tell you about market breadth on a 60 minute time frame it's very bullish as we speak right now there's 98 stocks from a 60 minute time frame within the S&P 500 trading above the top of their 60 minute profile oh 285 285 versus 115 yes tread light my friend since 1984 Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion while originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply later basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhance the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls thus was born the Chapman wave sequence

david white stay tuned because coming up next is the power trading hour right here on tfnn welcome back folks that was up 66 s and p is off about one point out there jonah that was asking was indicating that the nasdaq composite i had generated a sequential cell signal so jonah i'm assuming that it just fired off the 13 count out there but hasn't closed back below obviously to give you a confirmation of a sequential cell but i'm pretty sure that it's gotta be because we're up at all time highs and the question is does it have any meaning or something like any significance and the answer is yeah it joins a list of reasons to be concerned to absolutely be concerned to anticipate but it's all about trying to time this thing and when i say a host of other things here's the roge momentum indicator that is going yesterday was bar number seven today is going to be bar number eight of a td set up nine count so we've got these patterns that are in place in the case of nasdaq composite at least first has to close below its oscillator and changeline around 91 91 out there it joins the weekly time frame chart give or take because they don't have today's data or the nice a to b equals cd pattern you know bearish reversal candle on this would confirm a butterfly cell but it's not there we've got to wait for that on a weekly basis we're not we're not there and then it would need to close below 89 58 to really be of significance out there but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be worthy trade on a daily time frame once we get a decent cell signal and on the monthly time frame chart here prices moving higher doing it with less relative energy out there so all types of reasons to keep you know keep our eye on the ball out here it is just it is just looking like 2020 is going to be maybe a difficult market to navigate so we'll just simply rely on these patterns that have been working will keep our eyes on support resistance we'll look at market breath we'll look at everything we can to assist each and every one of you out there thanks so much for joining me on terrific Tuesday have a great afternoon stay tuned to great hours coming to you next David White your favorite polar bear Tom O'Brien I'll be back with you on weird Wednesday take care


He was already managing two of the biggest stars in the world with Powerwall and Mike Jones. And he was them that homeless. I come and help this guy. And he do what he do to me. And I helped this girl that was in a one bedroom apartment with her mother. And I'm the person that's bad. I got to ask you about this undisclosed amount.  Now, you ain't got the truth. You said that. I didn't get enough. I didn't get enough. But I was about to ask you. Do you feel like everything that you invested in it, you feel comfortable to say, I am good now with the whole situation? Well, yeah, I'm good with the whole situation. Got everything back that was owed to me. Every single person will just know that. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we going to talk. So I know you looked at me and like, she gave her the look.  She got to under something. She feel the throats.  No, I'm going that car right now. OK, cool. Let's go and call again. So, Carm, I got to ask this question. So, do you believe in God? Yes, man. OK, I got it.  See, I got it. I don't go to church, but I believe in God. I believe in God. I'm not the same way. I can't, like, I believe, I got to issue with pastors.  But I believe in being in the church, Carm. But your pastor is not the way to God. I don't have a pastor. So, so I'm just saying, the pastor is not the way to God. For sure, for sure. But no, I have to ask those questions, especially because of what happened today, you know, losing, you know, Rest in Peace, Big D. Oh, yeah. Man, I honestly, the Big D, man. That's the thing, you know, because as much as what I look at is the fact that he exercised, he ate right. He did all of that sort of stuff. And he's about 40 years old, not even that old. Yeah.  He got young kids, a wife, and you look at situations like that and be like, why? You know what I mean? But, and I always say everything happens for a reason, for the main fact that in my mind, I'm saying, what lesson did I need to learn from his life? Because I feel like each and every one of us are here to impact somebody. So what lesson it is, because that we all need to learn from each other. No matter how young you are or how old you are, there's something you need to learn. Yeah, that was tough. I do. And that's why I don't, you know, I try to learn from everybody, you know, being here and then not being here. You know, there's nothing you can do about that. Hopefully you can just serve or you can even figure out what your purpose is, why you're here and serve it as much as you can until you leave. And, you know, that's that. That's how I, you know, go through life with that. That's the approach I take.  Like, what legacy would you want to leave? Like I say, my thing, my purpose is to help others. You know what I'm saying? Any way I can. Like, I can't leave here until this monster image thing about me is over with because the people that really know me know that all I've ever done is help people my whole life. And I'm gonna continue to do that. You know, I feel like that's the only way I get my blessings.  I couldn't be as bad as a person as, you know, I'm painting out on social media, getting this type of settlement, you know what I'm talking about. So, at the end of the day, that's God in my mind, you know, showing everybody that, hey, just, you know, believe in me, stick with it. It was a four year grind and we got right here and now we passed it. And, you know, that's the only way you was gonna, I couldn't got through it. That was some hard times for me those four years, just the whole bashing and defaming, just, you know what I'm saying, just action. A lot of questions in your head, like, man, like, what is the reason for this? Like, I don't understand. I did everything right, you know what I'm saying? Like, were you depressed at any point? I might've been depressed and didn't know it, you know what I'm saying?  That's what I'm gonna cry. That I'm not feeling like, be like that. But then, you know what I'm saying? I probably had moments, you know, where I just like, was like, damn, you know, all I did was came back home, helped some people and fuck, I got punished for it. Like, what's the reason for this? You know what I'm saying? I didn't have to do none of this stuff. I could've kept that money for my kids and all kinds of stuff. I decided to come home, help a guy that was, he was already managing two of the biggest stars in the world, with Powerwall and Mike Jones and he was, damn they're homeless. I come and help this guy and he do what he do to me and I helped this girl that was in a one-bedroom apartment with her mother and shit, I'm the person that's bad. I gotta ask you about this undisclosed amount now.   You said that, I didn't get enough. I didn't get enough. That's what I'm about to ask you. I didn't get enough. Do you feel like everything that you invested in it, you feel comfortable to say I am good now with the whole situation? Well, yeah, I'm good with the whole situation. Got everything back that was owed to me. Every single pill, I just know that, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, at the end of the day, I can move forward and I had to fight for that. They made me fight really, really hard for that. And, you know, I can only do that with God. You know what I'm saying? That's the only way I got through it. You know what I'm saying? No, that's real.  Over and under, man.  No, no, no, no, that is, we are not doing that. I just want to make sure that you're good. I didn't ask you for no damn amount. Now don't put me, I'm not in that car. No, no, no.  We got to put some, I don't want to hear that. That's why I'm talking about the conversation deals, man. Like, little CEO, man.  Right. All right, yeah, I just, I just rhyme what he said, right? Yeah. I'm gonna pull you in. Nah, for sure. So what, what, what do you want to, what do you, when you first started this music venture as a kid, like growing up, when did you start music? That shit, man. I been wanting to do music since I was a little boy. I'm like six, five in my grandma's house. Okay. Looking at all the rappers and all that type of stuff. Tell him y'all, when he said daddy was a rapper. What? My dad tried it. Did he say he tried daddy's rap? Man, my dad and I said, man. What's his real name, rap name, his real rap name? See, look, I'm gonna tell you this. When it get back to my dad, he gonna say, man, why you said that shit, man? No, man.  Cause I had to. I'm a real rapper. Man. He never fell off. Look, he barely started. He was like my a when he did it. So he gonna come back and be like, man, why you did it there, man? No, but when you did it, he was gonna say, and then when he, I mean, yeah, like, is there some videos out there? Man, he got one video on you. Oh, you're so funny. From back in the day, he was like 1990, 1990. Oh, yeah, that little when he did it. Yeah. And would you impress about when you look at you like that, nigga? Oh, damn. Yeah, yeah, can you talk about science stuff I'll talk about. Right now? Yeah. That's hard. That's hard. So, how did your kids, man? That's what I like. That's real. Man, he wasn't proud of your kid. Her mama was a rapper too. Really? Yeah, that's who they get it from. So when I hear about these prodigy kids, I even, you know what I'm saying? I want to develop them in mode because I know it's something in them, you know what I'm talking about? That's when they come out. Wow. So I mean, what was it? Give me a little spill of the rhyme that you don't embarrass yourself. Give me a little spill of what you said on that rhyme that you sent to them. Did they see it on a lie? Yeah. Yeah. What song was it? It was On Feet. Let me hear the first verse or something. I don't want to be on trying to go the way you be. I drop a dredge like a freak.    Man! That's how it went down, right? Yeah. And then the nigga, you don't call in your inbox. You know what I'm saying? Man, I ain't hear from these folks til like three, four months, man. Oh, damn. So look though, but I kept sending them on music just to send it. You know what I'm saying? I ain't need a word. That's hard. I like that. But Darren, you know what I'm saying? Darren, you was on there another time though, huh? Yeah, I went on there like two, three more times. Yeah, he was on there, yeah. He was on there a couple times. Every time he came in, he kept going in. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?  I can just hear him, you know what I'm saying? You knew his voice.  I asked him what's going on. He knows the waters and stuff. So we were doing a lot of transitioning with bringing in a new team in 15-01, so. Was Baby Joker part of the new team or the old team? Oh, he part of the... Cause he in the middle right there. He was, no, no, when I say new team, I'm talking about like staff, you know what I'm saying?

That's what I thought you were saying. You said it daily. I was going to say something real life.  Do you live in that? Yeah, I'm with school down here. Where? So, uh... You know if a nigga come out? Lancaster. Let me tell you something. If somebody started something, saying they was from a certain town and a nigga got on here and out of them and said they wasn't from where they said they were from, and yeah, he can be like that. So let's say, I didn't say you, Carl. I didn't say you. I don't know, cause I had a situation like that, though. You know what I'm saying? I don't say nothing, though. No! Why do you say you have a situation like that? And don't you know what I'm saying? No, I don't say, so what part of Mississippi, bro? This is the Delta Mars, Mississippi. Where's Mars by? This is like by Clarksdale, Baseville, and it's like a... I knew he wasn't from Dallas because his accent is like... It's an hour from Memphis, yeah.

And this is who I got people up by. Hey, that's what it's all about, man.


What makes you a favorite teacher? All children must go to school, it's the law. All children are entrusted to teachers, it's like that. Some of these students love school, some do not. Some children will learn more easily than others, and many children will like school and will learn more easily if they like their teacher. From the beginning, a parent who respects the teachers of his child, gives him a head start in his school career, since it provides him with the tools, to appreciate each teacher and listen to it more carefully. But that's not the only reason why we should love them and say good things about them. Here are some important roles that teachers play. The torch of knowledge. Our education system is well established. Is it criticizable? Yes like everything else. But in fact, it is this system that allows our children to learn and record time notions of English. Without this elaborate system and dedicated teachers to keep it in place, our children would not be able to retain as much information as quickly. It should also be remembered, that teachers can transmit all this information to a large number of people at once. In elementary, high school, and even after, teachers must make the program understood by all those who attend their class, whether they are motivated or not, and whether they have the facility or not, without annoying the strongest nor neglect the weakest. In addition to passing on the knowledge, the teachers prepare their students for the next stage, in collaboration with the teachers of the following years. Teachers act as a counselor, at this level the teacher takes care of his students by paying attention to their academic needs, giving advice on career journeys and future. As a role model. It is the role of a teacher to inculcate good manners to his students, but how does he do this? By serving as an example, keeping some important rules like good and smart dressing, punctuality and upholding their confidence so that students can learn. Managing the classroom One of the main duties of the teacher, is to arrange the classroom to suit the learning style. When the classroom is in order, the students tend to learn better. The roles that a teacher puts in place change from one discipline to another, but the objectives remain the same. To create an environment conducive to effective teaching, this I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that teachers take on this role in their daily practice. As for the organization of their class, they are the fine observers, they should try as much as possible to maintain a form of control, tolerating, for example a certain arrangement of class furniture, by renewing their educational resources or by being available for their pupils. They do not have the image of being untouchable with the children, but rather of actors involved, engaged with the children, to create a safe and benevolent environment. The parents. As if that was not enough, the teachers also communicate with the parents. While some parents understand the nature of their work, and go in the same direction as others, other parents flatly oppose everything the teacher wants to bring as changes in the behavior of the child. Some parents criticize the program, others do not like the discipline and reward systems, some parents do not like the proposed activities, and others blame the teacher for the bad grades of their child. Many parents are also outraged by the amount of homework their child brings home, even though these homework assignments are essential. Homework allows children to practice before exams, and allows teachers to give children a little more time in class. All this, the teacher does not always have time to explain it, because there are many parents and a lot of work to correct. Not perfect teachers? Teachers are not perfect, as we are not as perfect as parents. Just like us, they have a lot of work to do, and sometimes have mood swings and more affinities with people than with others. It is also normal that you love one teacher more than another, and that your child has a bad year from time to time. These are incredible roles the teacher plays in my own opinion.

Ok. Myślę, że możemy zacząć. Dajmy się zrozumieć. Nazywam się Michał. Jestem samochodem software'ego pracującym na Google w GK Batch Team. Dzisiaj poprezentuję się z Vanossa z Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, który niestety nie może być z mną na koniec, ale zazwyczaj będę grać z nią, a ona będzie później dla Wasze pytania na slajk. Zacznijmy z historii. Jak all of you know, Kubernetes was built originally with the focus on long running and stateless applications. Naturalnie, there was a lot of feature gaps in the early job API to run batch workloads. But over the years, users who wanted to use batch were still very determined to run batch on Kubernetes, even at the cost of worker runs or re-implementing features which should have been provided by the core Kubernetes. But this leads to a lot of fragmentation in the ecosystem of batch. So we would like to improve this situation and reduce the fragmentation. So that's why we started the batch working group initiative and we work under its umbrella to bring all the necessary features and primitives to the core Kubernetes. So we believe that this will improve workload portability between different frameworks and between different cloud providers. And also this will allow framework developers to focus on the value added rather than re-implementation of the core functionality. Ok, so let's take a look at what has been done on that front. So here you can see on the left the list of problems and on the right the list of new features that address these problems in the recent releases of Kubernetes. So the list encompasses many areas. You can see for example improved handling of periodic jobs or the job suspend field, which is a stepping stone for job queuing, something that Aldo talked at length. But in this talk I would like to focus on two features, that is index job and portfolio policy. So let me first introduce index job by the use case of processing large data set. So if we have a large data set we naturally want to split it into smaller chunks and process the data set in parallel by multiple workers in the world of Kubernetes represented by pods. But the problem in the early API and like the recommended approach was to create and maintain your own queue of tasks. However, if the data set isn't changing then we can have a simpler solution and just assign the specific chunk of the data set based on the worker index. And this is essentially what the index job gives us. So we simply set the completion mode as shown in the yamlin on the right as indexed and then the environment variable with the index is injected into the worker process which can be then used by the worker to load a specific chunk of the data set. So that makes it simple. And also if we add another requirement that the pods need to communicate while processing the data set then index job also makes it simpler because if you create the index job as shown on the left and then match it with the headless service as shown in the middle, in the yamlin then all the pods will have the stable DNS names and predictable upfront. So the DNS names will include the job name, the worker index and the service name. And this makes it convenient to set up distributed network of pods. And in the use cases as we are about to see. Ok, so important part of the talk is to, I would like to present selection of use cases where the index job feature finds its use at DeepMind. And here I want to say big thanks to George and Lena for sharing the insights. And George should also be available on Slack at the end of the session if you have some questions. So the first use case that I want to present is we want to train machine learning model and we want to train it on a large data set. And in order to make the training fast we need to shard the data set across many devices while the devices are split between multiple nodes and each node also can have multiple devices inside. The devices are TPGPU or TPU. So let's take a look how index job can be helpful here. So in the first step we create one pod per node and here one pod with the zero index is a distinguished pod called coordinator. So because as I said before it has a stable DNS name predictable upfront while creating the other pods it makes it easy so other pods register their presence at the start of the system and then the coordinator can set up the distributed environment. So in particular it will await for all the pods to be ready and all the communications channel to be established between the pods. So once we have that all the pods can load the shard big data set and split into smaller mini batches corresponding loaded on the particular devices. And along with the data we also load the model on the devices and here we have the simplifying assumption that the model can fit into memory of a single device. In practice this might be more complex in this case. Once we have that the devices train on the loaded mini batches of the data and the communication channels are used to exchange partial results of the training on the smaller chunks of the data set so that once the results are exchanged we obtain a single model that is trained on the entire data set. If you are interested then I would also like to refer you to some code samples inspired by this use case that I prepared both for PyTorch and JAX ML libraries. Ok, so in the next use case we want to simulate an agent in a virtual reality or environment for the purpose of reinforcement learning. So in this setup the agent performs different actions on the environment and also it can observe the environment to update its knowledge of the world and for some achievements in the environment it collects rewards. So the assumption is that by correlating the actions with the rewards we can make the new generation of the agent that is more likely to repeat the actions that led to rewards. However in practice we don't want to run just a single simulation but we want to run many and the reasons include for example just that we want to collect more data so that we can make some of the less likely trajectories also to be explored. We also want to account for a variation in the initial conditions or we also want to test agent with different tendencies for exploration versus execution. So again let's take a look at how we can set up this with index job. So the assumption is that we have the agents and environments containerized. Then here we have two index jobs one will represent multiple players and the other multiple environments. And then by using again the feature of stable and predictable DNS names the agents can connect easily to the environment with the same index and create communication channel that will be used for the simulation. So once we have that the simulation can start and actions, observations, rewards can be passed over the course of the simulation and this is nicely abstracted out by the open source library by DeepMind. And if you are interested I would also like to refer you to the code samples that I prepared for the simple catch game so what you can see on the gif on the right is an example trajectory in this game played for a single index. Ok so I would like to conclude this part by saying that while you can think of many work rounds and they will work to some extent so this is also similar to what happened here so prior to index job DeepMind actually used stateful sets but there were some problems with them. So one, I mean the root cause was actually the lack of the notion of completion that is characteristic to all batch workloads and because of the lack of the notion of completion so for example in this use case of the simulation some simulation can end earlier but the pods would still continue running consuming resources and also you would need to have some custom code to detect when the simulation is over and also there was no like mechanism, native mechanism to limit the number of failures in case of a software bug let's say. So index jobs nicely fits this use case. Ok and now is the second part of the talk when I will, Vanessa will play about I will play Vanessa's talk when she talks about flux operator I will also make it clear that she will be or already is even at CNCF Slack channels so if you think of some questions that you want to target to Vanessa or George then you should be able to find them on Slack after the session. Hi fellow Kubernetes, I'm Vanessa Socket and I'm going to be talking about an example use case for index jobs a project called the flux operator that we've been working on at Lawrence Livermore National Lab let's get started. Once upon a time there was a resource manager named Flux Framework and Flux lived in HPC land along with the other resource managers a few container technologies and of course assistant men are too and Flux was really great at a lot of things that you see in this table, but especially Flux was great at full hierarchical and graph based resource management. Oh, either little friend you have a question what does graph based resource management mean? That is a good question. So let's say that we have a resource allocation with four nodes doesn't matter if this is on HPC or on a Kubernetes cluster we could theoretically install Flux and start what's called a Flux instance. Now the Flux instance can actually see the resources that are available to it and then if we were to create a job launch a job the really cool part of that is that Flux is going to create instances of itself to run on the sub resources and if you're looking at this you're like, hmm, I don't know this looks a little bit graphy you're totally right we're looking at different depths of a graph where each depth knows about invalidates its own resources so this means that Flux is really good at portability you can run it on a cluster you can run it alongside Luster you can run it on a share you can really run it like anywhere you can run it in a container using Flux as a total no brainer Flux is also really good at co-scheduling because it's able to know the node pathology so let's say that you have a workflow that requires GPUs to communicate Flux can schedule them to be physically close together Flux is also really good at jobs coordination so here we have the Moomi workflow and Moomi was incredibly heterogeneous in terms of the different needs for the workflow components Flux was able to intelligently schedule them so that those components best match the resources they needed across a very large set of resources Flux is hanging out over here at HPC land and as you know over here there's this cloud land where we have technologies like Kubernetes or if you've ever played a strategy game and in this fog of war the idea is that there's something that needs to be uncovered and we need to go on a journey and so last year in the lab this is exactly what we decided to do we said I'm working the space between HPC and cloud so in this space one of the early projects to emerge is the Flux operator and this is going to be what I'm talking about today okay let's get started on today's journey starting with a stop at definition island so probably most of you know what an operator is it is a controller for a Kubernetes cluster to manage objects so the Flux operator is a controller that allows us to set up that Flux instance to run across pods and specifically in this part here we have a special term for it we don't need a cluster for ants I actually mean a set of duplicate pods created by the index job here is where the index job comes in and Kubernetes configured to run a Flux instance it's really cool conceptually because it's like you have an entire cluster in the cloud an HPC cluster for you to control so let's say that we start with a Kubernetes cluster of size nine we could theoretically create a mini cluster also of size nine to maximally utilize our resources and index zero what that brought the job is called the broker orchestrating the job the way the pods communicate is via a tree based overlay network and it has kind of all the niceties that you'd expect so batch jobs, queuing, etc okay basic question if you come visit us in HPC land we're gonna give you a command line thing if you off to cloud land someone's gonna hand you a YAML file so to like start off we figured okay we'll just define the needs of a job in a mini cluster.yaml file this is our custom resource definition or CRD so basically you define your job in this file you give it to the Flux operator it's going to create you a mini cluster and then your job is going to complete, run and everything cleans up make a mini cluster the next stop in our journey is going to be to experiment empire where we ask empirical questions like how well does this work again? so we decided we wanted to compare it to the MPI operator which is another operator in the space that is very similar in nature this started as part of the coot flow project defines an MPI job as its custom resource it has a slightly different design it uses a launcher node to coordinate workers via SSH like the Flux operator it uses a dedicated hostname and a service for workers and we had to use a modified version to scale to over 100 MPI ranks check out the paper right there if you want to learn more about that but like how do they compare so we decided to run an experiment that looked at lamps in molecular simulation on an unoptimized containers this is what that experiment looked like so we needed to use a 65 node cluster to account for that extra launcher node but then we want to test on sizes 64 down to 8 of a mini cluster or just sort of an index job and you can also see the corresponding number of ranks which are the MPI processes ok so and then for each of the operators we're going to launch a job or create the mini cluster across each of those different sizes we're going to record dimings and we're going to save the outputs apparently our sun god at the empirical experiment island is angry right away sun god do the results ok sun god has questions if the Flux operator mini cluster is created via an index job how well does that scale well here you're looking at mini cluster creation and deletion times so this includes entire bringing up and then bringing down of the pods but does not include lamps and as we move across the x-axis we move from size 8 to size 64 so the cluster gets bigger and the really cool part is that this scales really nicely like the index job is doing a great job ok so next question from the sun god if the Flux and MPI operator have different designs like how efficient is each operator setup so because we are comparing apples and oranges here we need to look at them separately starting with the MPI operator here is the end-to-end time so this is the notification of the job through the timestamp when it's completed this I must note is when the pods are ready to go there's absolutely no waiting for pods here and it does not include the lamps run and what you see is that there's a two fold increase in time from size 8 to size 64 now the similar thing we could compare to Flux as a Flux start this is from when the broker comes to life through when he shuts down or when it shuts down so I need to point out this includes the broker waiting for all the other pods we don't know when the broker is going to come up relative to the other pods it also does not include the lamps run and it looks pretty ok to me ok so when you remove the setup the apples how do the run times these things compare we're going to look at Flux Submit vs MPI run this is like if you logged into an HPC center and you like wanted to run this with Flux directly or with MPI run that's the command you would type and this does include the lamps run this is like the direct wrapper to lamps as close as we can get without being inside lamps and I want to point out that for these experiments so we can't really generalize to like everything but for these experiments we did note that the Flux operator is consistently faster we think it might be related to the bootstrap or other MPI variables but the difference is like really insignificant ok so when we peel back another layer of the onion and we look just at the lamps time reported by lamps so no wrappers we again see that they're even smaller but if you kind of visually look at the mediums they're about 10% lower for Flux and we think that like for larger workflows this could potentially translate to cost savings what did we learn? well we learned that the index job just allow the mini cluster pods to scale really nicely very happy about that we think that Flux's 0MQ bootstrap might be related to why it's a little bit faster because the MPI operator uses an SSH based bootstrap more work of course is needed to investigate performance like folks lamps is not it important point of the entire talk so listen up look at texture of the Flux operator allows for multiple jobs to be run on the mini cluster so we avoid the infamous at CDAPI server bottlenecks and it enables high throughput and finally we want to point out that the MPI operator does require that extra laundry node and it could also benefit from using an index job they seem pretty great to me already we've learned so much of the experiment empire the Flux operator has promised some questions I hope you do too we need to take a quick stop at the reality republic so this question how do I submit a job did you really think to run these experiments we applied like a YAML file like a thousand times do you think that's how I want to spend my work day absolutely not we actually ran these experiments using a tool called Flux Cloud in Flux Cloud you define your experiments in YAML file yeah I know we can't escape the YAML it's everywhere so we still use it here and then there's just three commands so up, apply and down to bring everything up run your experiments and then bring everything down so you can kind of like work on other things watch containers, logs and have a sandwich, have an avocado it's super easy and then when you're done all of your config files, data and output are saved for reproducibility take a breath our vision for converge computing is not applying a bit.ly in the YAML files it's a comfortable intuitive user interface ok so one really awesome thing about being in reality republic is we know that reality is informed by vision so as we're here let's take a ride on the visionary vehicle we're going to jump on and ask this question how could we submit jobs so I played a fiendish trick on you I didn't tell you that if you don't give a command to the Flux operator the Flux operator will actually bring up an interactive interface for you to submit jobs for you to monitor your jobs in a table or check output logs and it also serves a restful api that can be interacted with via sdk and so that is closer to our vision for this future of converge computing and we also are thinking about some of these other things coming soon to a theater or Kubernetes cluster near you so keep the watch out for us to get to the next question ok so ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok Możesz używać dojściu w górze i, zresztą, niebezpieczeństwo, jako odpowiedni pomysł z całkowicie kwalifikowanymi domaniami. Specjalizuj drogę, żeby stworzyć coś. Rysuj w górze. Jeśli to jest tylko jednym razem rzecz, możesz stworzyć podgę isolatową, żeby skończyć dojściu w górze, lub możesz używać dojściu w górze. Specjalizuj! To są specjalne sklepy! Dobra. Możesz używać drogę, która stwierdziła na górze. To jest dokładnie to, co robimy dla brokerów. I jedna sprawa jest, że może drogę api potrafią nam zróbować grupy, z węgą w górze. Dobra. Potrzebuję dojściu w górze. Dobra, więc nie mam żadnej solucji na to, ale to, co robimy, jest, że stwierdziły dojściu w górze. Zobaczymy wszystko, a potem stwierdziły dojściu w górze. Więc to jest tylko początek, zapytając tego konwerytu, to, co jest so exciting, jest, że jest więcej projekty, żeby zostać skończone i pracowali. Potrzebujemy Twojej pomocy. Chcecie się z tym, proszę. Sprawdźmy się na GitHub na Flux Framework. Projekt operator jest też tam też. Flux Cloud jest pod konwerytem komputerym, i zapytajmy więcej o Flux Checkout Flux Framework.org. I to jest to, jak dodać mnie, czy żadne z moich klonów tutaj, aparatnie, przez e-mail i jestem z Wsachem na wszystkie społeczeństwo media. Dzięki do tych klubobierów, za supportując nas w naszej przyjaciółach. Dobra, Kupon, ja bym zniszczyła. Michał, wracaj do Ciebie. Dzięki Vanessa. Trzymaj, trzymaj. To znaczy, tak. Ale jeszcze jedna z tych klubobierów. Dobra, więc chcę też przedstawić Policji Podfiler, który jest recentnym spotkaniem pracy kontrolerów. Niestety w Beta, więc jeśli masz jakieś idei, to także przyjdziemy na twoje włożenie. Dobra, dobra, więc tutaj chcesz uruchomić pracownic wielkie, kompracować 100, czy 1000 podfilerów. I kiedy uruchomić taką pracownicę, wiele rzeczy mogą być w porządku. Podfiler są prawie ephemeralne. Więc podfiler mogą znać czy może być wystarczający pracownicą, która będzie w porządku. Więc do pewnych względów, to było już wypowiedane w poprzedniej opołowie, ale z powrotem limitem, gdzie możesz specyfować drugi ruch. Natomiast w wielu miejscach, tak jak ten, to jest naprawdę niebezpieczny. Dlatego, że to jest w porządku, więc jeżeli wypowiedź z powrotem limitem do razu, to znalazłeś, że znalazłeś ruch w porządku, tak jak ruch w porządku i tak dalej. Ale jeśli z drugiej strony wypowiedź z powrotem limitem do razu, to znalazłeś ruch w porządku, tak jak wiele niebezpiecznych ruch w porządku, w porządku ruch w porządku. To znalazłeś ruch. Okej, więc to jest niebezpieczny. Co będziemy chciały zrobić idealnie, jest tylko ruch w porządku, w porządku, czy śwberry i wszystkie znalazły pod wpływem ruchem, będzie tylko ruch w porządku. I znalazłem ruch w porządku i tak jak się troszeczkę COVID-19 ułożyłem ruch, dalszy ruch ruch i w porządku. W porządku w porządku To będzie powiedziało, że w przypadku zespołu, bo twoje bieższe bieższe bieższe bieższe bieższe bieższe bieższe bieższe ale to też będzie powiedziało, jeśli twój podłatw ten podłatw ten podłatw podłatw ten podłatw ten podłatw i był umkliwiony. Więc solucja, którą proponujemy, jest based na podkondycji w kombinacji z podłatwem, właściwie. Więc podkondycje są takie, w statyce, że masz listy z podłatwem i jak ważna część, więc tutaj był przykład podkondycji, ale jak ważna część tego udziału, zróbujemy miejsca w podłatwie kubernetowej, która jest wiktora podłatwem. Wskazywamy, które są podłatwowane do zespołu i modułamy te zespoły podłatwowe kubernetowe aby dodawać podłatwę, która pokazuje, że podłatwowała i podłatwem jest podłatwem. Więc zobaczmy. Przede wszystkim, taki podłatw jest podłatwowany przez kontrolne komponenty, więc np. przez skadłowę, w przypadku podłatwowania przez wyższe prioriowanie. I jeszcze kilka rzeczy, ale też modułamy kubernetowe kubernetowe w pewnych scenariach, jak np. podłatwowanie podłatwem przez odzyskanie podłatwowania. Ale jesteśmy zauważyci, że to nie pokazuje wszystkich okazji, może być trochę pierwszych kontrolowach, które mają własne zespoły dla wyższe podłatwowania, etc. Więc jak podłatwowanie podłatwowania jest podłatwowane przez kubernetowe kubernetowe żeby używają używający podłatwowania policyjne do składu podłatwowania. I też jest to rozwzyskanie do wyniki bardziej podmiotnej rozgrzeźnianie, ale to nie wiesz. Jednak zapadniemy na przykład pod Census Unii Policji. Pod Census Unii Policji jest podanalizacjaencedwacji rół, i każda rysowa wy concretuje 잘bezpieczający mały podmieszkanie pod ognąży. I mały podmieszkanie jest natomiast spowodowa na podmieszkanie podlewej z leży, więc w pierwszej ryciegroaning chce 평awusto wystrzeć całą działalność, w przypadku konfiguracji problemów. Konfiguracji problemów są anotowane przez konfigurację customa. Kondycent, który jest dodany w przypadku niebezpiecznego konfiguracji na konfigurację konfiguracji. W drugim rynku, user chce po prostu zrozumieć i rozpocząć trzy poty, które znalazły do dyskupcji. I dla tego propozycja, w związku z dyskupcją targową, jest używane. I w drugim rynku, user chce po prostu zrozumieć konwencję znalazły do dyskupcją targową. To znalazło do dyskupcją targową. Dobra, tutaj też chcę powiedzieć dziękuję do ludzi z reszty, którzy też były ładni, aby porozmawiać z nas results do testu do polisji podfalujących. W tym setie, znalazły też znalazły do dyskupcją targową. I znalazły bardzo podobne problemy z połączeniem podfalujących polisji podfalujących. I tak jak w Siemle, znalazły do przerwania do dyskupcją targową podfalujących podfalujących. W sumie, znalazły do dyskupcją targową for machine learning, for reinforcement learning or setting up HPC environment that Vanessa talked about flux operator. There are code examples, for the use cases inspired by the use cases, which I like you to take a look at and also you can take a look at the flux operator code. And finally we looked at the new feature of interest that is podfaler policy. But the list of new jest tutaj i nie tutaj, więc tu jest wiele rzeczy i nowych funkcji, które teraz pracujemy, żeby namenić jakiś dojścier elastyczny albo dojścier. Więc jeśli chcesz zainteresować się i participationać w dyskusjach, to Batch Working Group jest dobrym miejscem do przyjechać. Chciałbym również zapomnieć, aby was oglądać. Słucham, Słatie i Aldo mówią o budowaniu budowalnej, ale w sensie, jeśli masz problemy z tym, czy chcesz przedstawić coś, pomyślać, zaskoczyć, to przyjdź i przyjdź. I z tym jestem zadowolony na pytania, i też będzie Vanessa i George zadowolony na pytania. Dzięki.
