Thanks for joining us from YouTube. So let's get to the episode before something goes wrong. Whenever I stream, something always goes wrong. But yeah, I don't even know where to start. Usually at this point I'm flustered because Facebook isn't connecting, or the stream isn't connecting to Facebook, or the audio is not working because I forgot to turn on the mic and stuff like that. Pero ngayon, it's smooth sailing, so let's get started. Actually, not a lot of new stuff in the shop. In terms of new products, most of the things we have in the shop right now, you already know about, there isn't a new generation of graphics cards or CPUs. Although the 5000 series of AMD is becoming more widely available. But I'll take you through first some of the new stuff we have in the shop. So we do have one of these guys, the TUF GT-301, which is a Zaku 2 edition. We actually got a couple of the Gundam themed items or products from ASOS. This is one of them, the case. This is a red case, very distinctive, very unique looking, and actually quite fetching even if you're not a Gundam. You're not supposed to say Gundam, it's Gundam. Even if you're not a Gundam fan. Another one is this, the A50W ROG PSU. Actually, I really like this one. It's white naman with some Gundam trimmings. But what I really like about it is it has a magnetic patch that you can put anywhere on your case or on this PSU or even on your fridge or something and it's a really nice patch. If you guys remember when we previewed the items last February, the last video I ever posted about that was that small patch thing. It's basically the head of a Gundam. It's magnetic so you can stick it anywhere. So that's nice. I was going to show you the 3080 Gundam GPU but in less than a week since we got it, it sold out. We are a bit, may butas-butas na yung GPU collection natin. For example, we don't have a 3090 but we can get it. If anybody out there is interested, we're out of stock of the 3070 because this is a TI and the 3060 again because this is a TI but we will be restocking within next week. So we're going to get more 3060, 3070. It's been very difficult actually to get the 2000 series. Something where we would put here between the 60, the 1000 series and the 3000 series. We sold our last 2060 a couple of weeks ago and we haven't been able to get more. So I don't know if it's just a supply thing peculiar to the Philippines to us but let me adjust the camera a little bit. There we go. But it's been very difficult to get the 2000 series. I don't know because NVIDIA is pushing people to either just choose if you're mid-range, you get one of the higher 10-1000 series and if you know you're going to go full gaming, get the 3000 series. We do still have and this is what we recommend for sort of budget, the mid-range rigs. We start out with the 1650 and then onwards. We also have may butas dito, wala kaming 1660 at the moment. We have super and TI. What we've been seeing also interestingly enough is that a lot of the GPUs coming out are LHR version or low hash rate version. Those are the ones that miners can't use to mine although caveat, I do understand there is news that they've been able to hack it to 70% efficiency already so the LHR isn't so low hash anymore. Say hi to Liam Magnae from YouTube and ITX Addict. Liam, no, just in time. We just started the stream like a couple of minutes ago. And ITX Addict, of course, another regular and thank you to everyone for joining us. Makovic, may stock ba liyan li o11 white mini? Yeah, here. Oh, here. I'll kick it for you. You can check it on the site but I believe this is white and this is black. Again, one of my pet peeves with a lot of the cases is they don't say upfront like if it's white or black. But yeah, we do have the mini, o11 mini, o11 mini. I believe one is white and one is black. But again, best to check on our site for the most up-to-date stuff. Moniker, stop. Good to see you. Good to see you as well. Thanks for joining us. On this relatively smooth stream so far. Again, if you're just tuning in, I was commenting at the start that I'm not used to having such a smooth stream because usually something always goes wrong even before I start streaming. Like there's no video, there's no audio, there's problem with the internet connection, it won't connect to YouTube or it won't connect to Facebook. So far, it's been smooth sailing. Phyllis, actually just got a very nice rig from us just yesterday. Looking forward to 2060 restock. Yes, we are trying very much to get a restock because for a lot of people that is still the sweet spot, the 2000 series. Again, I don't know what it is. If it's a purposely done by NVIDIA na mahirap na mga kuha ng 2060 if it will be available soon or if it's just our suppliers or I don't know if it's just us. I did want to show you guys after that. We're also running out of monitors a little bit. So usually if you've been to the shop, usually we have the monitors here at the bottom and over there. But now they're all cases and these are just the monitors we have. But this monitor actually if this was custom ordered by a customer, they paid for it upfront. But he asked us to check it before we gave it to him. And when we checked it, there was a really small like one or two pixel stuck pixel or dead pixel here in the corner. So we told him about it and he's then we're like, you know, we'll send it back. And he's like, okay, so Gigabyte and Fairness their warranty policy is five pixels. To be honest, I don't know.  I really don't know if that was five or less. It seemed less to be honest. But in fairness to Gigabyte, they replaced the monitor. So I've messaged his customer like, you know, the replacement is here, the brand new replacement, please come get it. But he hasn't messaged yet. I hope he's okay. If you're watching your monitor, the M32Q is here. Available at the shop. Another thing that came back from RMA is another customer. But this guy from us a couple of months ago, the 1660 Super, one of his fans started, so it's a dual fan setup. One of the fans conked out. So he sent it back to us. It took a little time, but the supplier replaced it. And they replaced the entire, I don't want to say front panel, that's wrong, but they replaced the entire cooling part basically because, you know, it's a GPU, the chips or the chipset is underneath the cooling. The upper part is the cooling part, which comes off. They replaced the entire cooling part and they put new thermal paste where they on the chips. So this guy is also ready to go. Fortunately, this customer has responded and he'll be getting this guy on tomorrow, Monday. Other stuff I wanted to show you. Yes, we have these guys in stock again. After a long, long wait, we custom ordered these guys from our supplier. It's the Core P3 Snow and the Core P3 Black. Custom order meaning like they weren't supposed to get anymore, but we paid for like 50% back in April and they only arrived in August. So April is like the fourth month and August is now, actually August is about to end. So it took almost four, almost five months to get these guys. Our supplier wasn't going to get anymore. That's why I call it a custom order, but these are not reserved. So these are available in the shop, available on the site. We have carried these guys for a long time and I like them because they're so distinctive and I mentioned before that if I were to build a new PC which I need to do soon because my PC is old as heck if I were to build or when I build a new one, the Core P3 is one of my go-to, like one of the cases that I would seriously consider using for my own. It's so distinctive. Nowadays, you see a lot of these open type case setups and a lot of people are like, oh, that's going to get dust and everything, but I just really like the look and it's practical for me, like if I get something like this because occasionally, I need to try out a new graphics card or try out a new AIO, at least with this open air thing, it's a lot easier to swap out parts and things like that. So I might steal one of these guys from the shop when I'm ready to buy or ready to build a new computer for myself. So again, before I get to the chat, this guy actually is a brand new PC which we sent to the customer like maybe two weeks or three weeks ago and it came back to us yesterday because the customer, this is actually a non, this is purely a performance build. This is a 5950X AMD CPU, so that's the highest you can get before Threadripper, cooled by a Darkrock Pro 4, a big boy cooler. I think the card is a 3070, I believe. And then we chose a Meshify 2 case for the airflow. You can see, even on the camera, you can see like how perforated the front is so that air can really smash through the front and make its way through the back and out. So this was a performance build for primarily video editing. So it was like two weeks old or something but it came back yesterday because the user was encoding or rendering something and then it just crashed. And then it wouldn't turn on again. He tried to restart, shut it down and things like that, but the PC would not, Windows wouldn't boot. At first we thought it wasn't posting but when we got it into the shop yesterday we let it run for a little bit and we realized that it was posting but it was taking so long. So it didn't really start up in safe mode. So initially, again, we're still troubleshooting this but initially it doesn't sound like a hardware problem. Usually when Windows does start up the PC does post. There's nothing wrong with the hardware but now after the stream I'm going to play around with it to get it into safe mode and then we can see from there. But as ITX Addict mentioned this is a monster. The case is huge relatively and it's such great air flow. Although fractal design is making waves right now, I'm sure if you've been following the tech guys on YouTube. The fractal design just came out with a case called the torrent which is one of the best air flow cases. A lot of people are like oh my god the air flow, the air flow on the torrent. Not available yet here in the Philippines. It just came out abroad. But even this meshify 2 fractal design is well known for its good air flow and the meshify 2 doesn't disappoint. We chose it specifically for that air flow. Again it wasn't the RGB or anything like that wasn't a consideration. I mean it does look pretty but we chose it more because of the good air flow because you gotta keep the monster cool when it's doing its thing. Weird lang do na na crash oh this is a metal mesh pop. Weird lang do na na crash during editing um So yeah we're still trying to figure out exactly once we get into safe mode, you know once we get windows setup okay able to get some more guys for windows being windows I know right and you know for us for tech guys it's kind of like ay ganoon talaga windows being windows but if the customer is not techy it's very easy to blame the hardware because it wala ka raman hobble sa microsoft. It's not like you're gonna call up microsoft and say oh why but na crash computer ko it's much easier to blame the shop but to be fair the customer is not blaming us. I'm just speaking in general sometimes we get customers to bring back stuff and they're insisting something is wrong with the hardware but it's really a software issue and you know we can't do anything about that but it's much easier to blame the shop where you got it kasi hindi mo hindi mo mga mga hubble sa microsoft or hindi mo mga hubble sa nzxt kasi ang bulok ng or ang bug yung cam software nila so not this particular customer but sometimes we do get we do have to sort of explain a little bit na this is a windows problem or some other software isn't playing nice with some other piece of software and there's nothing inherently wrong with the hardware because sometimes sometimes hardware can go wrong in just one setup like a gpu that's fine in a completely different build if you stick it in another completely different build god knows for what reason refuses to work or crashes or things like that because you know sometimes the drivers just don't play well with some of the other things so idxadik microsoft priming customers for win 11. I know but I will not be one of those guys I'm going to stick with 10 as much as I as long as I can I just don't like I'm kind of old so to be honest 10, 11, even a jump from 7 to 10 I was like omg it's yeah it's windows but they change things around a little bit it takes me a little time to warm up and figure you get my bearings where everything is jaysbeers got any 1660ti yes we do it's a gigabyte I showed it a while ago it's on the shelf but it's also on the site the borbs asked what headset I think Raphael replied this is actually his headset I always steal it for when I need to walk around for in the shop stop Andres pass everybody from all the comments are from youtube but facebook naman is okay so we're still live on facebook what's up internet what's up net marvindalmundo um 008 PC parts are actually going down a little bit especially GPUs we've been seeing a gradual decline in the prices but I do need to put a big but because just and Raphael was the one who told me about this apparently there's been there's been another outbreak in China so that has delayed their production and delayed their shipping and so just when everybody thought was like oh you know the recovery starting to pick up pace and picking up steam now because of the latest outbreak in China and they're really clamping down production has slowed down again shipping has slowed down again so I don't know if that will have a ripple effect again it takes time for us to feel the effects and prices so better supply better shipping you know that happened months ago we're only starting to feel the effects now so maybe the latest lockdown in China has cost the opposite of that slow down in shipping, slow down in production we're only going to see it maybe two months from now or something unless the suppliers get really paranoid and start putting up prices again so this is my round about way of saying is that they've been slowly going down but this might be the best we'll see them for this year based on our own Philippine situation COVID delta still kicking our ass in China so you might want to buy now is what I'm saying this might be the best that we get for this year Leah Magnaes someone started GoFundMe for Anton's PC so you can get 43090s I'll be happy with 13090 to be honest I'd be kind of embarrassed to have a GoFundMe there are a lot of better other people need the GoFundMe much more than me I'm still happy with my i5 690k which is 4-5 years old I'm just going to get some water because the problem with this I like doing poitang magtanongin stuff because it's not a monologue but when I do life from the shop I'm usually by myself so always a monologue so I'm just going to drink some water the nice thing about this particular headset usually the premium ones have them but not the budget or mid-range and it mutes by itself and it sounds like I really need that I can just hold the mic so people who can't hear me but it's actually very useful especially for long periods it's rather less you want to walk around so you might want to drink while you're doing your work from home meeting or things like that you don't need to talk so you can just pop this headset up sorry the boom mic up and it's automatically muted things like that Phyllis I've seen reviews on YT yes I think she's talking about the torrent were you the one who sent me the link actually somebody sent me the link or mention it another customer and I were talking about Hardware Conox and I was like I like watching Hardware Conox and Pulse Hardware because they're just super chill and I believe Hardware Conox has a review of the torrent out the fractal design torrent but I haven't I haven't watched it yet quite busy the last four days just different shop stuff and we have a new video on Youtube now the members can see it but it will go live to the general public on Tuesday it's how to buy a budget build so like 10k office build 15k faster office build and then light gaming rig starting at like 25k so I've been doing the edits of that for most of the week and other things so it's been quite busy but so I haven't been able to catch up on my on my Youtube watching yet oh and last weekend to be fair I was just kind of goofing off because it was the it was the free beta of Back for Blood so my friends and I were playing taking advantage that it was free so we were playing it although to be fair to me like I still consider it that's work because I was able to get good B role of the ROG XG34 RC it was a curved monitor which is also a monster which ROG was kind enough to lend to me over the past two weeks so I got good B role of that so I was still working when I was goofing off with Back for Blood Happy Sunday Louis G Wil Waco another regular thanks for joining in alright I'll get to the chat in a little bit guys but I just want to show you some of the other stuff we have we do still actually I mentioned earlier in the stream that the 5000 series is becoming easier to source although these guys we're down to 1, 5600X 2, 5800X we do have a bunch of 3200Gs available again we're a small shop and we do run out of stuff generally quickly that's how we like it because we don't have a lot of budget to splurge on a lot of things so every buy needs to be sold kagad para we can turn it around and buy new things, buy more things so we do like it like that but we're always precariously low on a lot of things we have some motherboards over here but you know those are not fun so we'll talk about these things which are fun this is a new build also going to be picked up on Monday tomorrow so it's an ITX build shoutout to ITXAddict it does come with RGB also shoutout to ITXAddict actually this is what I like about the A1 Plus aesthetically it does look quite nice for for any size I think it's a nice good looking cross between it's interesting looking but not too far out and it is a lot of included stuff this is a key wireless charging pad key, key, I don't know my phone is also old so in second hand so it doesn't charge wirelessly but if you have devices like that you just pop it on here it does come with RGB and it does come with a 650 watt gold PSU already one of the harder things about ITX cases is that you need to get a SFF or small form factor PSU or SFX those are all the same thing SFF, SFX they just mean like super small PSUs like this one SF600 from Corsair which are meant to fit in ITX cases for some reason so there is SFF, SFX and PSonic just wants to be different and they call their version the SGX but those are all very small PSUs and they were really hard to come by last year like last year man, grave it was hard to find ITX PSU supplies have gotten a bit better this year but we do try to stock them as much as possible because again we try to have these kind of interesting things like oh you want to do an ITX build sure we got your back we have the parts for that that's what I like about the A1 plus the looks are good and it comes with a lot of stuff it gives value to the customer it gives you a lot of stuff it already comes with a lot of stuff to be honest I forgot the specs but I think I have them okay I have the receipt here so I'm just going to cheat this is an R53600 with a 1660 Super GPU A520i AC which is one of the cheapest ITX boards I mean I don't mean cheap like in a bad way I'm saying that there is the general notion that ITX builds are more expensive and that's true but if you shop around long enough you can either find a case like the Inwin A1 plus or the CMNR200P I want to say P I think it's NR200P that can fit some standard size stuff and then you can get like a MOBO like the A520i from Gigabyte which is quite affordable relative to other other ITX MOBOs it also has a 256GB 10.2 NVMe and a 480GB SATA SSD so not bad very very usable for the office, for editing even for gaming I mean a 1660 is nothing to sneeze at so this guy girl I do tend to personify the computer or apply personification to the computers in the shop so I guess you'll be a girl this girl is going out tomorrow I really like the A plus we've been carrying it for a long time we still have this in black but we're sold out of white and pink this is the last pink this is actually glass on top so very very nice tinted side panel as well to better have the RGB pop this is not for sale this is one of our test benches Be Quiet sent us the Purebase 500 for review, I reviewed it I actually really liked it even the angular front panel very nice with the mesh side fins for air intake we have the AS500 plus in white courtesy of Deepcool which they were also kind enough to send to us the 2080 Super which a customer was kind enough to give to us when he upgraded and then the Deepcool I think is the SGX 500 or something it's their GPU support so a lot of the problem is a lot of the longer and thicker card so this is a 2080 Super but it's Trifan it's about the same length as the 3070s now or the larger cards are so long that they don't have enough support so their support comes from the back here where you screw it in and just from the hanging out in the PCIe slot so over time the back can bend or it can even break off completely in some very extreme cases of the PCIe slot so these kind of holders or GPU support brackets have been getting more and more popular and this Deepcool one is as ARGB and we will be posting a short review and when I mean short it's gonna be less than a minute like it's a short review but I like it it's very adaptable if you notice the screw holding up the the screw holding the bottom of the GPU there on top you can swing that left and right to determine where exactly you want it and as well as the base here you can adjust the height and as well as the X position you can adjust both the X and Y axes of the two main support screws it does have ARGB and it does screw in so this is the GPU support by Deepcool it just screws into the PCIe slot it does take up two PCIe slots just like this is the card actually this is a 2080 Super it is taking up two slots and the support will take up two more yeah so I just wanted to most of these guys we've reviewed already like the case we reviewed the RAM we've reviewed the SSD we've reviewed the cooler we've reviewed and we're gonna review the GPU support soon but overall I really actually like this test I like how I like how this test bench has evolved and it's nice looking it has decent hardware that's an ASUS tough B550 not B550 what's the equivalent on the Intel side B560 tama ba? I think it's a B560 anyway we also have a video on that and the i5-10400 was kind enough to send over along with the B560 I think it's a B560 spoiler alert actually when we do the review of the white one which is coming out next week as well like I'm just gonna say it man the stock cooler hit 100 degrees when we ran it at 100% load but with the AS500 plus white it only hit 58 degrees so that's a 42 degree difference from the stock cooler to using the AS500 plus and 100 degrees on 100% load from an i5-10400 seems a little extreme so we rerun the test it didn't hit 100 but it was still quite high and then the AS500 plus also outperformed the stock cooler even in the second test that we did but full details of that in the video next week coming out next week we come to this guy cooler master a500 ARGB quite a popular case actually because you have the all front white the all front glass panel which is similar to the a5-10 elite popular because you can see these massive RGB fans and then you have the side panel although I think you can swap this front panel out I believe you can put a mesh here actually to get even better airflow although you do get airflow already here from the sides and things like this so actually a very quite a popular case like maybe last year super hard to get and then we have an AIO the core liquid took 40R and then this is a 2000 series GPU and it's in the shop now because basically this belongs to a customer but he had some issues with it and you know I'm trying to phrase this in a nice way you know we gave it to the full extent of the warranty but long story short we're actually going to sell this one as a second hand unit so it will come with a one year warranty and these are really premium parts actually it's the 2060 the core liquid 240R the a500 ARGB definitely like mid range to high end rig even in you know this was done last year so it's less than a year old but even in 2021 this is still a very good rig so we'll be selling this this is the first rig actually it will be selling second hand the CPU we're still trying to figure out like if we're going to sell it like we're just going to pop in a 3600 and R53600 or we're going to let the customer decide like what what CPU they want to have in here everything else will be second hand and if you have been watching our shop or you notice like some of the remarks I say when I can buy second hand that's just my phone my GPU for a long time actually my current GPU is second hand as well so we really think there's value in using or getting second hand stuff I use them all the time personally for myself and so I'm kind of excited actually we're going to make lemons out of lemonade sorry but like that we're going to make lemonade out of lemon out of lemons so I'm curious like we will put it of course at second hand prices but I'm quite confident that you can find a good home with someone else it's still a pretty good case sorry guys AR Go well versed din ba yung shop nyo mag-build around ITX cases yes if you check out our YouTube and you can see some of the builds we've done actually our latest build video was in a Lian Li O11D Mini which is an interesting case actually because it can fit up to ATX sized motherboards but you need an SFF PSU we also have other ITX builds and actually available to members but not yet to the public we have an NR200P build video already on the channel which will probably release tomorrow we're just waiting for the thumbnail so yeah so we do have a lot of experience with ITX and which is why we also try to carry ITX component so like GPUs sometimes they produce these very short GPUs most importantly power supplies and cases so we have the NR200P we have the Evolve Shift 2 which ITX addict in the chat knows that I have been dying to actually build in for a long time but nobody has pulled the trigger on that yet but yeah I think that's a beautiful case the Evolve Shift Air 2 Evolve Shift 2 Air or something or other yeah so yes we do long story short yes we do have experience with ITX builds why not take it home personally because it belongs to the shop and I try not to the proceeds of the sale should go to the shop and I try not to steal stuff from the shop as much as possible like in my current rig well the GPU I'm using now is technically the shops also but I try to draw the line somewhere and actually pay for my and actually pay for the hardware that I'm using murkibs I need help finding a meshify to compact a lot of people have been asking about the compact to be honest I tried asking our supplier but they have no idea when they're getting it so when they do get it we will carry it but we can't accept custom orders right now because even a supplier even our fractal design supplier doesn't know when they're going to get it in stock Phyllis pay the shop but then I don't want to pay the shop it's like man although to be honest the build when I build my own PC my new PC a lot of the stuff will be from the shop dina namin mabenta like we have a I'll bring you guys to the rear thankfully we have a lot of when somebody has a problem we have a lot of extra items say oh my AIO broke down because brands have been kind enough to send stuff for review and we get to keep some of the products or it just can't RMA it like this guy the kraken x53 the problem with this one is the RGB the white RGB just blanks out randomly so we've sent we've tried it it worked we send it back to customer it didn't work with him it sent it back to us when we sent it back to the supplier it worked with him so it's one of those super variable problems nakakainis pa minsan actually I can't blame the supplier also because when they test it parang gumaga na naman but you know on our end we refunded the customer 100% kumbaga it's always hardware sugar na huling taya where the ones left holding the bag so I can't tell this in good conscience as a second hand item because I do know that the RGB just craps out but to go back to the suggestion of Phyllis that I should just get the case or that second hand rig actually when I do build my new rig later on I will probably incorporate a lot of the stock of the extra items that we have here like I'm already thinking of getting this na lang kasi hindi na rin mo benta ko wawaraman yung customer who gets it the RGB is kind of wonky so I'll get this na lang wawaraman ako na second hand and not really working but ang hirap talaga ng buhay I'll just have to live with that so I am actually thinking of stealing extended loan items from the shop like this one is like super annoying the one like we got a darkrock pro for it was missing some fan clips and we tried to send it back to the supplier but some reason or another we couldn't and for whatever so we got stuck with that the RP4 na it's working everything's working the fans are fine it's just that we can't clip them to the CPU to the to the actual cooler to the radiator the tower rather the CPU tower cooler but we are fortunate to be in that position where the brand send the stuff and we get to keep them because then we can translate that to better customer experience when they come in we might need to replace a part and send it back to the supplier but we try as much as possible to give them a temporary fix like oh you need a cooler if you need like a RAM or a PSU or things like that sometimes we have extra units in the shop that we can use or even case we've lent out cases before to customers like they need to send a case back as I said I RGB or something like we've lent out this guy the fractal design R6 before the RAM here is also from a brand so we can also lend that out and here is the completely passive cooler from Noctua the NH P1 I think P1 atayong designation the review of which is on our channel and it's not even hot of course I mean we're not doing anything like we're not overclocking the R33100 which is the CPU at this point but it's an interesting design very Noctua quality even though it can if you check out the review video it has great thermals for passive cooling right will the price of R5300G go down soon I do not know as I mentioned prices have been going down gradually especially with GPUs but the APUs are quite popular R3200G, R3400G so I you know I can't say like I difficult but they sell out quite fast with the suppliers we've been fortunate that our suppliers like us enough to tell us in advance or give us first crack na panang sir or may available na kuhana kayo kung gusto mo so that's why sometimes we get we do ship to Sibu City we ship nationwide via we've shipped as far as Zambuanga so to Mindanao we've shipped and all the way up north so we ship nationwide yeah and like 99% of the time everything goes fine we've had maybe two bad experiences shipping to Davao like a case got lost but we put insurance on all of the on all of the shipment the customers assured like something goes wrong at least if ever we'll send a replacement which we did for the Davao case or they'll get their money back in full Fritz Wideramos sa no problem thanks for joining us do we have a shop on Shopee we did we do present tents but it's close at the moment because I find Lazada and Shopee really high stress channels I shot them down for ECQ we're no longer technically under ECQ or in MECQ pero I've decided to keep them shut down for the moment just to see if we can still function as a shop without Lazada and Shopee because to be honest they're really a big headache the customers also on Lazada and Shopee are also quite a big headache vigilante or the yeah the vigilante reliable gaming mouse well we were we have reviewed this one before the M3 from ASUS I think it's around a thousand we do have them in stock we've also reviewed the iron cloth Rafael has reviewed the iron cloth not bad also personally for me and like this is I'm not even going to make any money out of this because we don't carry it but my mouse is usually logitech kind of old fashioned that way but still series is also supposed to be good like yung pet peeve ko lang ayaw ko talaga no razor I keep buying razor and they just keep failing on me so never again razor ganda kasi na marketing no razor palagayaw na ayaw sa always look so good parang angas mo but the products always fail on me so I would not recommend razor but yeah this M3 mouse that you can see here is pretty good the review is also on our channel the iron cloth we have maybe logitech is that's what I'm personally using at the moment I'm not using the hero I'm using the wireless I forget which model it's also super old jet thank you for being responsive that's yeah I mean di ko naman yung sarili kong bang ko pero I do spend a lot of the time in the facebook chat that's either me or one of our tech staff J our forum site pwsh.ph like if you have tech questions rockin the programmer is also very active there so we really try as much as possible to answer everybody very quickly gaming night no my mouse is logitech but my keyboard is das keyboard delta alpha sierra das it's a german brand also super old and I have if you watched pwede magtanong last friday you know that like a lot of people have been saying that I should try out these custom custom keyboards because it's just really exploded in popularity but I don't want to go down at rabbit hole because it sounds super expensive but when you hear the keyboard enthusiast you won't go back to blue keys because you can set just how much pressure you want before each keystroke is registered and the sound and doing it yourself and looping and things like that so it does sound very enticing but I'm trying very hard trying very hard not to fall down at rabbit hole but so I'm not using a logitech setup Logi G304 for Phyllis I'm not quite familiar with the G304 but usually logitech is very good quality Louis GMMK B-Kits they were talking about GMMK I hope I got that right GMMK which is different from GMMK which is different from GMMK the single M but that's that's a deadly rabbit hole so I'm resisting trying out that cost of stuff because I do need like a more like yung when I get a new PC at least yun because I'm trying to crash the PC especially now that I'm trying to put a lot more B-roll in the video so I personally edit there's more text, there's more B-rolls so my 12GB DDR3 I54690K is kind of creaking it's like that meme it's like the guy from Green Mile I'm so tired boss yung system ko so I do need to put some of my money to that first where there's a more clear return on investment compared to like custom keyboards and by I am thinking of I'm very very tempted but I'm resisting let me just let me go through some of the chat from previously when I was running around Bentley from YouTube in my personal opinion when you think the silicon shortage will end personally like I'd give it maybe 2 years because it's not just PCs you think chip, you think oh GPU you think CPU but a wide range of industries now such as automobiles appliances, everything now has chips inside and everything cell phones and everything is affected as well so it's not just a question of like oh NVIDIA but but all that's yung production mo if I can't you get your stuff together AMD if I can't I get your new CPU Intel never mind sorry Intel fanboys but it's not just PC related chips are in everything right now and all chips right now in short supply so I'm giving it maybe 2 years before things kind of settle down a little bit maybe and I think that's true for society in general when can we go out without masks again right now we're still on eCQ schedule as I post it on Facebook even though the official category is MECQ we're still not allowing customers in the shop until end of August but staff will be here every day so the store will be manned the orders will get sent out you can buy from the shop event just from the front door but we're still treating it as an eCQ situation because most of us in the shop including myself have only had one shot so far we're still waiting for our second dose 15,000 cases Delta is very prevalent so just there's a lot of stuff going on I don't know so chips maybe 2 years from now and even society at large 2 years from now is before everything goes back to normal and it's been it's been 2 years already right I mean it started last year continued up to this year I feel bad for college students a lot of the fun of school is hanging out with your friends getting into trouble cutting class occasionally which I did once in a while in college and then one very memorable time in high school maybe 60% of my entire class decided to cut one day so we were all just playing CS so good times right I mean yun nga parang I feel bad for the students now at home they're not even allowed to go out they can't hang out it's very different very different experience and maybe a less rich experience for a lot of people not just students I haven't seen my friends in years literally plural this is the second year that we haven't been able to see each other face to face I haven't gone out even when it was back to GCQ and things like that but long story two years maybe for chips and two years also even for society just getting back to some kind of normality Edmond sorry you asked this question a bit back just getting to it now you have an R53600 with an RTX3070 would you recommend either a 5600X or a 5800X actually I would recommend the 5600X which is our go-to for gaming now that would complement your 3070 well because if you're gaming you don't really need a lot of cores the 5800X yes has a lot of cores but for gaming a lot of the games don't take advantage of a lot of cores so 5600X there is a big there's a substantial performance increase from the 3000 series to the 5000 series you don't need to overspend by getting the 5800X if your main goal is gaming personally for myself I'm trying to be more hands-on with some of the edits I am personally considering a 5800X but only because my PC sadly will be editing more than it will be gaming so it makes sense for me to get a 5800X but if gaming is your main objective I really think a 5600X hits that sweet spot of course you get better performance with a 5800X but price to performance for gaming 5600X is really a good performance point or you know performance peg recommendation for gaming headsets that are budget friendly Christy from Facebook our staff actually really likes the MH630 oh here I'll show you we still have like one left our staff really likes the Cooler Master MH630 we have the wireless one so that's the MH670 but the 630 is quite affordable it's also available on the site I forget how much it is maybe like 2,500? 3,000 I think but it's very good quality and yun I can attest because because I think 2 of our staff 2 of our staff bought from us the staff get discount they get it wala ng patong when they buy from us they get it at the supplier price they get the mouse at 1,000 if they get it from us they also get it at 1,000 so I know from personal experience sorry that's wrong if your lawyer that's hearsay not from personal experience but the staff who game regularly and who I'm in constant communication with 2 of them have been using the MH630 they're very happy with it for my personal experience but if they're not too budget I really like the ROG Strix Go 2.4 which ROG was kind enough to lend to me last year although I think that is a bit pricey but very nice very also good for mobile like it's very easy to bring it around but again why would you need to now where everybody stuck at home but it is a very the sound quality is very good and actually I like wireless because you can be playing a youtube video but you're doing other things like you're in the kitchen, cooking or whatever so wireless even if I don't go out of the house wireless is I need that I need that in my life my mouse is always wireless because I hate again the M3 is a very good mouse but in general wired mice I don't like parang feeling ko palagin hilihila ng cord sometimes I'm moving it around parang hilihila ako pabalik na parang ambigat ng cord so I always get a wireless mouse for myself and also a wireless headset the one I'm using now again is super old it's a that brand that everybody likes but that they sold it man it's a my wireless headset is guys like I'm getting old but it's a ah my wireless headset is that brand which they sold like a month ago but it's super quality I can see the logo oh my goodness no no no rocking the programmer not this headset like the personal one I use at home is it's not JBL it's not um it's ah god I'm gonna look it up when I get home look at it but uh ah shoot dine hi sir yes thank you thanks guys moniker and kaiser itx adic ah sorry itx adic and kaiser yes sign hi sir man I was like you can really see the loading wheel on top of my head and I'm like what is it actually because I moved back in to my parents house during ECQ so I have not been using the sign hi sir I've been using desktop speakers but that's really no excuse just like some days talaga like you swapped out your r5 3600 for a i5 4 690k alright guys um we're about to hit um an hour 55 minutes going I think that's basically much what I wanted to show from the shop this episode please do join me or if you're interested in ah if you're interested in cryptocurrencies we're gonna be streaming crypto watch episode 3 tomorrow and lots of interesting things actually in the crypto space now bitcoin price which again I just used as a general indicator for all of the other prices is way up the last time I did crypto watch last month it was around maybe 40,000 or 38,000 to bitcoin dollars now it's almost at 50 at 49k when I checked so ah there's a lot of interesting things I'll also be talking about the news there's a worrisome rider it's almost like a rider in the US Senate bill regarding their infrastructure bill there's a rider or there's a provision there regarding disclosure of crypto earnings and things like that which would be a really big dampener to the industry so we'll talk about that more on crypto crypto watch and lastly I'm also gonna talk about this bonkers trading scheme that I've been doing because I lost so much money and I'm super stressed actually every day so we'll talk about that more on the crypto watch tomorrow so thank you internet for watching thank you internet gods for finally giving me a clear stream a stream in 1920 by 1080p instead of the 480 by 260 I think we were getting last time or some something like that crazy times but thanks for watching everybody stay safe and enjoy the rest of the weekend peace


So we are live. Wait just a second for the settings to move around. And everybody is slowly coming across. Just another couple of moments. Let people move in from the other session tab. And that's probably long enough. So yes, hello and welcome to the final talk of the day. It's my distinct pleasure to present to you guys, introduced to you interdisciplinary team of Modi Mizrahi from Florida Tech and Michael Dickinson from the University of Illinois. And they are going to be walking us through philosophical reasoning about science, a quantitative digital study. So I'm really excited to see what you guys have for us. Take it away. Thank you very much, Charles and Luca as well for organizing this great conference. I've been amazed by the work that people are doing and what I've seen so far. And I'm ashamed to say that we don't have fancy visualizations for you. So forgive us for that. But we are definitely happy that Charles and Luca have organized this kind of conference because we've had in philosophy at least this kind of experimental turn in the beginning of the millennium. And so maybe it's time for a digital turn, right? And the use of more computational and corpus-based methods in philosophy. And I definitely think that that's long overdue. So with that in mind, we're gonna be talking about philosophical reasoning about science. So it's kind of a meta philosophy of science project. And we started thinking about that because if you open any book on philosophy of science introductory books like Samira Kasha's Philosophy of Science, then you'll see philosophers of science saying that induction is at the foundation of science, right? Kasha even points out that for most philosophers, it's obvious that science relies heavily on induction and you don't even need to argue for it. It's that obvious. If you look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy as well in several entries about philosophy of science, about scientific realism, about the problem of induction like this one, then you will see the same kind of sentiment being expressed that we rely on inductive reasoning, not just in everyday life, but in science as well. And it's at the foundation of the scientific method. And then in a kind of related study that I did before, this one, I looked at the way in which scientists talk about confirmation and hypothesis testing in scientific journals and my findings. Also, I looked at, it was a corpus-based study and the findings suggested that, yes, there's mostly an emphasis on this kind of inductive talk when they talk about confirmation and hypothesis testing, but interestingly, it's not in all the sciences, it's mostly in the life and social sciences, not so much in the physical sciences. But that's a different project for today. We would like to focus on philosophy of science itself and ask the question of whether inductive inference is as much at the foundation of philosophy of science as it is supposed to be at the foundation of science. So to those who study science, the philosophers of science in particular, rely on inductive reasoning as much as the people that they study supposedly do. So these are the questions that we were interested in. And we, the corpus that we have is from JSTOR and in particular, it consists of articles from the following journals, British Journal of Philosophy of Science, of course, is a flagship journal and philosophy of science. And we also have the other flagship journal, Philosophy of Science itself. And in addition to that, we have these journals as well, all of which publish, of course, articles in Philosophy of Science, some of which in History and Philosophy of Science as well and some of them also in the History of Philosophy of Science as well. So it's kind of a broad spectrum of what the discipline of Philosophy of Science looks like, at least as far as journal publications are concerned. Now, what's nice about studying reasoning and arguments in corpus is that in philosophy, you have a fairly established way of doing that. Namely, if you look at any logic textbooks or any introduction to logic or critical thinking or introduction to reasoning, these textbooks will tell you that the way to find arguments in text is to look for indicator words or markers of arguments, right? We heard some of that today from one of the keynote speakers about markers of arguments in texts, right? So that's a fairly established way of doing that as far as logic, critical thinking, argumentation is concerned, right? So these are just two examples from logic textbooks, right? Where the authors talk about indicator words like therefore, since, because, right? If you see these words in a text, you know that probably, right? Of course, this is not a foolproof method of finding arguments, but probably there's an argument there being made in the text. And similarly, in this introduction to informal logic, the authors say that the word therefore is a conclusion marker or conclusion indicator. And then you have reason markers or premise indicators where it's like since and so on. So if that's the way to find arguments in any text, then of course, that's the way to find arguments in journal publications as well, in articles, right? So that's exactly what we did. We took these indicator words and divided them into these types of arguments, right? So for abductive arguments or explanatory arguments or inferences to the best explanation, we have indicators like best explain, of course, the best explanation for, and so on. For deductive arguments, we have words like absolutely, certainly, definitely, and so on. And for inductive arguments, we have indicators like likely, probably, and so on. And here you have some examples from philosophical texts of how these indicators are used in the context of an argument that's being made. And so we took these indicators for argument types and we paired them with general indicators for arguments, right? The argument markers that we saw before were words like therefore, hands, it follows, we can infer that and so on and so forth. So when you combine an indicator for an argument type, like abductive, deductive, or inductive with an argument indicator, words like therefore, and hence, and so on, right? You get these indicator pairs that will identify in a corpus, right? Not only that there's an argument being made, but also what kind of argument is it, deductive, inductive, or abductive, right? So this combination of indicator pairs gives you 36 indicator pairs per argument type, right? So 36 for abductive arguments, 36 for deductive arguments, and 36 for inductive arguments. And the other thing we did is to conduct these kinds of searches in our corpus with different lengths between those indicators, right? So in one kind of search, we did three words between an argument type indicator and an argument indicator, right? So for example, if we're searching for, therefore, and best explained, right? You could have three words between these two indicators, right? And you're gonna get a hit if there are three or less words between these two indicators. And we did the same thing with six words and 10 words between the two indicators, right? So this method is something I have used already in another article that was published in Metaphilosophy, where with my co-author, Zoe Ashton, we looked at this idea that philosophy is a priori, right? It's a discipline that requires abstract thought that you can do from the armchair, right? So we used a similar methodology to find out that, you know, if philosophy is indeed an a priori discipline, we should find more deductive arguments being made in philosophical journals rather than inductive or inductive arguments, right? So this method has been used before, but for this particular study, we have sort of scaled up the method significantly. And so to explain that further, I'm gonna turn it over to my colleague, Mike, who has really been doing all the hard work. So he's gonna explain a little bit more about our methodology. Hi everybody, I just wanna say thanks for listening today. I am formerly a data librarian and I did work with Modi at Florida Tech before leaving for the University of Illinois. So that's how this collaboration came about. And without further ado, I'll tell you a little bit about our text mining methods. So the first tool that the main tool that I would say we used is the R language in conjunction with RStudio, which is a graphical user interface, which enables us to use R easily. We also used a sort of a language within a language which are known as regular expressions. Regular expressions allow us to specify really interesting and diverse patterns when searching through text. And finally, we did a little bit of work in the Windows command prompt. I also do wanna mention the main packages we used, which are in R, which are stringer, the plier and read text. And all of these are pretty famous packages and pretty straightforward to use once you start learning. And now I would like to, before I go into the methods, I'd like to say just a little bit about the documents in our corpus if you could advance the slide. So we're working with a pretty large corpus of philosophical articles and book chapters with approximately 435,000 full text articles and chapters taken from JSTOR. And then with those full text articles come an XML file, which contains the corresponding metadata to each full text article. And next, I'd like to tell you just a little bit about how we go about importing 435,000 and ultimately close to 950,000 articles all at once. And that is with the read text function, which it comes from the read text package. And all you have to do is specify an object equals read text and then input the folder path and the read text function will navigate to that directory or folder and essentially input or load in all of the contents of that directory. When it appears and it's finally finished in art, it creates a data frame with two columns. The first column is the doc ID column, which is a unique identifier for the column, but it can also be the file name. And then the text column is a single character back string, a single character string for each article, which contains the full text of that article. And when you have multiple items in the folder, it will create a string vector. So that you have a single data frame with two columns and each row contains the full text of that article. I will note that it does take quite a while to load that in and to search on a specific pattern. When you're dealing with 435,000 documents, it could, I would hit run in R on my local machine and it would take about 30 minutes. I did move to a newer machine with a solid state drive and that cut the time down to about 20 minutes each time we would run or load the data in, but it is worth noting that it does put a heavy load on a local machine. And now moving on, I'll talk about how we would search for a specific pattern. So we would use the string detect function out of the stringer package. And with string detect you input the string vector that you're looking for a pattern in and then the specific pattern or a regular expression. And we'll talk in a moment about regular expressions. It's also important to note that this function will ignore punctuation. So as you can see in the example we have the sentence, this new revelation definitely proves Hume's argument. And if we use string detect on the string and look for proves, that'll return true. I will note that if we used argument and just look for the term argument, it would return true as well, even though there is the period at the end there, it will ignore that punctuation. And we can move in the next slide, please, Melanie. And so we used a regular expression in our research because we were trying to specify a really specific pattern. So in place of the pattern, we do use the rejects command, which is an R function. If rejects, regular expressions are sort of a language within a language. They're actually pretty tricky to use. If you look at the bottom of this slide, you'll see I used rejects, which is a tool online, which helps you build regular expressions. I've actually never met anyone who's so good at using regular expressions that they can just write them on their own. I think everybody pretty much has to use a tool like this. But I can tell you a little bit about what this does without telling you every detail. And you can see our indicator pair in the expression. In this example, we have proves, and then we have probably, and then you have the brackets that specify zero and six. So what we're essentially looking for here are the terms proves, and then the term probably, and they can be within six words of each other. And then when we're searching across 10-word range or three-word range, we change that six to a 10 or a three. You'll notice in the middle there's this bar, and then probably starts again. And it's essentially the same expression backwards. And what that indicates is that the regular expression does not place any preference on the order that the terms come in. So probably could come within six words before proves or proves can come within six words before probably. And with that, we're going to move on and talk a little bit about how we converted this to numeric data. So once we have searched for the pattern, it will, string detect will return the list of logicals representing true of the pattern is present and false if the pattern is absent. So then we just use the string replace command, which is also in the stringer package to replace the true values with one and false with zero. It is important to note that that will still be character vectors, so we do have to convert that to a numeric vector, which we use as numeric. From there, we can sum the total matches and that will yield the count of total matches for each indicator pair across each work range. And we can move on. And there is more that we did. And I'm just kind of gonna go through this a little more quickly. So it's also important to note that while we generated that count data, we also took the matched articles from the full master corpus and created our own separate CSVs and data sets for them. So we were able to do this by taking those true logicals and binding them back with the data frame and then filtering for true in the logicals list vector that has been attached to the data frame. You can see how we did that with the filter command here. And that is from the deep wire package. Deep wire is really great for cutting up and manipulating and filtering data. And it's definitely an essential package to use if you're using R. From there, we did save those CSVs, as I mentioned. We had to then import all of those CSVs and bind them by word range and then add the argument type in a new column so that all of the deductive indicators are labeled as being deductive indicators and all the inductive and so on. And what that ultimately results in are three master data sets, one for each word range, three words, six words and 10 words. And those data sets contain the document ID and the full text like they did before, but it also contains the argument type. And once we have the argument type, we are able to extract our metadata and we can proceed, Modi. Oh, I will note a couple of, a note and a limitation of this approach. So because of the way that we approached this, it is possible that a single article can be counted in our list of matched articles more than once. As you can see with this example, if an article contains the terms follows and absolutely as well as hence and definitely and both are within 10 words of each other, that article would appear twice in the list of 10 word matches. It's also important to note that the only really serious limitation of stream detect and that is that stream detect will only tell us the presence of a pattern one time per article. So say if follows and absolutely were to appear more than once in a single article, our approach was not able to count that. And once we have that master dataset with the full text and the metadata attached, and the argument type attached, we are able to attach our metadata by joining using a simple left join command. This is where that doc ID column becomes really important because the metadata documents have the same file name, which then is translated to doc ID by read text. So that is how we're able to join and connect the appropriate metadata file to the appropriate full text file. In order to do this, I did use a simple command in Windows command prompt and that is the star rename. And then you can put the file type you're starting with and then the file type that you're converting to, which in this case was text files. It is possible, I will note, to work with metadata and XML directly in R. I just think it's personally a little more difficult to interpret your results and what you're working with. It's a lot easier to read what's happening when you just convert to text. And if you could advance the slide, Moli. So in order to extract the specific metadata that we needed, we had to identify the specific tags. In this case, it was the journal title tag.  So in this case, the journal title tag is that container. And we used another regular expression to extract the information between to locate that container and then extract the information from it using the string extract command, which is also from the stringer package. As you can see here, we have specified, you can see just the greater than sign on one side and then the parentheses containing the period star and question mark and that is the end of the start tag. And then you can see more specifically the end of the end tag so that we were able to specify the right parts to pull data from. And this could be done on just about any piece of metadata that you want. We did do it, perform this technique on other pieces of metadata, like the date and the author name and things like that. But for this study, we really needed to focus on the journal title. Once we have those titles extracted, we can then bind them back to the corpus again. And from there, we were able to filter it down to the specific journals that we have been working with. And I believe that's it for me. So I'm gonna let Modi take over again. Thanks everybody. All right, thank you, Mike. So as you can see, I was right, Mike was doing all the hard work. So I'm going to tell you about the results of the study. And as Mike pointed out, we have three data sets, one for our three word searches, one for six word searches and one for 10 word searches. And we basically found the same patterns in all of them, but as you can expect, for the three word searches, we have less hits than for the six word searches and for the 10, right? So what you can see here is the proportion of argument types by journals, right? So you see that in some journals, like the British Journal for Philosophy of Science, there are more deductive arguments than other types, but for others like Hopus and PSA, we have more inductive arguments than deductive arguments and deductive arguments are the less frequent type. So we wanted to see if those differences are significant, of course, so we ran some tests and as far as the BJPS is concerned, the difference between deductive and inductive arguments is significant. As far as the HPLS is concerned, the difference between inductive and deductive arguments is also significant. For Hopus, the difference was not significant and the same applies for the JGPS, no significant difference between deductive and inductive arguments, although deductive arguments are slightly more frequent than inductive, but the difference is not significant. For Philosophy of Science, significantly more inductive arguments than deductive arguments and for the PSA, significantly more inductive arguments than deductive arguments as well. Of course, in that respect, it's important to note that the PSA papers now appear in Philosophy of Science as part of the journal, right? So I don't remember the year exactly where they were joined together, but we still looked at earlier PSA papers, going back to 1975, I believe, percent. All right, and as I said, in the six-word data set, we get a similar pattern, right? Again, BJPS, more deductive arguments, but Hopus and the PSA and Philosophy of Science, more inductive arguments. And again, of course, we wanna know if those differences are significant. So we ran some tests, like we did for our three-word data set. And again, we got similar results, right? So the patterns are the same and the results of these physical tests are very much the same, right? So again, BJPS, significantly more deductive arguments than inductive arguments. HPLS, again, significantly more inductive arguments than deductive arguments. Hopus, significantly more inductive than deductive. No significant differences for the JGPS and Philosophy of Science. And for the PSA, significantly more inductive arguments than deductive arguments. And lastly, our 10-word data set. And again, as you expect, right? A lot more, the proportions are higher, right? A lot more hits for our search results, but the patterns are pretty much the same. BJPS, again, with deductive arguments and the others with inductive arguments and abductive arguments are the less frequent type of argument, right? So again, the results of statistical tests are pretty much the same. In the BJPS, deductive arguments are significantly more prevalent than inductive ones. HPLS, again, inductive, more significant than deductive. Hopus, again, inductive arguments significantly more frequent than deductive. No significant differences between deductive and inductive arguments as far as the JGPS and Philosophy of Science are concerned. And finally, for the PSA papers, inductive arguments are significantly more prevalent than deductive arguments. So again, pretty much the same results in our three-word, six-word, and 10-word data sets. So that shows that the results are pretty robust, right? We get the same patterns in these three data sets. So what can we say based on these results? I think we can say that, yeah, philosophers of science do rely on induction, but it doesn't seem to be as foundational to philosophy of science as it is to science. Or at least it is supposed to be to the science, but philosophers of science tell us that it's supposed to be for science, right? So, and that's because of these kinds of mixed results that we get, right? We did find that articles published in HPLS, Hopus, and the PSA do contain significantly more inductive than deductive arguments overall, but on the other hand, you have the BJPS where you have significantly more deductive arguments than inductive arguments. And as we saw as far as philosophy of science and the JGPS are concerned, there are no significant differences between the proportions of deductive and inductive arguments. So these kinds of mixed results don't support this idea. I think that inductive reasoning is foundational to philosophy of science as it's supposed to be for science itself. Another interesting thing about our results, I think, is that abductive arguments or abductive reasoning or inference to the explanation doesn't seem to be all that frequent in philosophy of science, right? Even in our 10 word dataset, it was roughly less than 10% of articles that contain such arguments. So I think that's also interesting and somewhat surprising because in addition to this idea that induction is at the foundation of science, philosophers of science also tend to think that science relies heavily on abductive reasoning as well, right? This is a quote from Anjan Chakravarti who said that it's ubiquitous in scientific practice. Of course, McClellan has this book, right? That it's the inference that makes science, right? And he's talking about abductive inference in particular. So if it is the inference that makes science and it's so ubiquitous in scientific practice, it doesn't seem to be so ubiquitous in philosophy of science, right? It doesn't seem to be the inference that makes philosophy of science. And so it's maybe pointing to a way in which philosophy of science is different as far as the reasoning is concerned from science and maybe even from everyday reasoning. Because in addition to this idea that explanatory reasoning is foundational to science or is the inference that makes science is McClellan's terminology. Many philosophers have pointed out that IBE is ubiquitous not only in science but in everyday life, right? So this is a quote to that effect from a fairly recent collection of essays on inferences to a best explanation by McCain and Poston. So they say that explanatory reasoning is quite common and it's not only common in science but it's virtually ubiquitous in everyday life. In fact, it's so routine and automatic that's from Igor Duven's SCP entry on abductive reasoning. It's so routine and automatic that it sometimes goes unnoticed, right? So again, based on our results it doesn't seem like explanatory reasoning or inferences to the best explanation are that ubiquitous in philosophy of science, right? So we think that that's another interesting finding here from this study. And that's all we have for today. So thank you very much for listening to us and thank you for inviting us, Charles and Luca to give this talk. Fantastic. So before there are lots of questions and I will get to them momentarily but I think you'll be happy to know your talk has inspired furious discussion in the chat because now we're all thinking about, okay that was such a nice demonstration of how we could reproduce an analysis like this on our own. And now we're thinking, okay do we need like a shared code repository for people who are all interested in this kind of stuff or like a way to aggregate, GitHub repository links or something. So the chat is like bubbling away thinking about like reproducibility and collaboration. So right off, that's completely awesome. Let me get into the questions. First from Chris Green who asks how many significance tests did you run in total of which what proportion were successful? Was there any correction for family wise error or was it all at 0.05? So might we have a lot of type one errors turning up as significant here? Yeah, that's a good question. So we only looked at so that the value was 0.05, right? So that was our threshold. And since it was clear just visually, right? It was clear that abductive arguments are not all that frequent. So we just tested the difference in proportions between deductive and inductive arguments because that's where they seem kind of close, right? So I mean, of course it's possible, right? That some such errors, type one errors specifically might sort of creep in. But in some cases I think, when you like in the BJPS, for example, right? The results are pretty substantial, right? That there's a significant difference there. Great, thanks. Next question coming in from Stefan Hespruegen who says, this isn't a question but a friendly objection speaking as a historian of philosophy. So Hopos and HPLS are gonna contain a lot of papers in the history of philosophy. And we historians are prone to hedging using expressions like probably a lot, but that doesn't necessarily turn our work into inductions, does it? Good, I mean, that's a very good question. So of course, phrases or terms like probably or likely and so on can also be used as markers of hedging, right? So I think one way to address this, and this is what we did in this study is to pair these words like probably and likely and so on with argument indicators, words like therefore, hence, it follows and so on. So of course, it might still be the case, you might still get some false positives, right? You might still get some cases where the word probably is being used as a hedge, not as a marker for an inductive arguments, that's always possible. But if you pair it with an argument indicator like therefore, then that I think significantly reduces that chance that it's a hedge, not a marker for an inductive argument. Nice, nice, thanks. Next question from Eugenio Petrovich who asks, so how can you distinguish argumentative patterns belonging to the philosophical paper from argumentative patterns that the philosophers are reporting on from the scientific studies that they discuss or the historical sources that they cite? Yeah, that's a good question. And of course, we didn't do that for this study, right? So if there's a quote from a, and Mike probably could talk more about this than I can, but if there's a quote in a philosophy of science paper, let's say published in philosophy of science, and there's a long quote from a scientific article that has the expression therefore likely, right? Somewhere in there, so that's going to be counted, right? I don't think that we didn't account for that, right? But still, I think that, I mean, those are going to be quite rare, right? I would assume, right? But of course, I need not assume something like that. So if there's a way and someone can suggest a way to try to differentiate between quotes from a different article within an article, that would be awesome. And maybe Mike, you would like to say something about that too. Yeah, no, I mean, you pretty much nailed it with we didn't consider that. And it's really interesting to think about how you would get the machine to be able to identify that because the full text as we receive it, is it's a jumbled mess. It's not formatted or anything. So maybe there's an indication where there is a long quote that doesn't have quotation marks around it or something. I don't know how you would exactly be able to look for that kind of a pattern, but like you said, Modi, I'd be really interested to hear people's ideas. Yeah, in my experience with JSTOR data, not even inline quotes with quotation marks are gonna be reliable because a quotation mark is a favorite mistake of the OCR process, right? Quotation marks start showing up everywhere that they're not supposed to be. So yeah, it's gonna be rough, but it's an interesting thing to try to think about. A question coming in from Alex Musnuk, who asks, it's just a possible alternative explanation for the finding concerning the lack of abductive reasoning. Is there a possibility here that just abduction is just much more hard, difficult to model and capture when we in text? And so there's just a difficulty in finding the signal. Yeah, I mean, I think that's possible, right? If you look at the phrases that we have used for abductive reasoning, right? So unlike deductive and inductive indicators, which these are unique words, absolutely, certainly, unlikely and so on, the abductive indicators tend to be at least pairs of not three words, right? Like makes sense of and best explanation for and that sort of thing. So that could be one way in which searching for abductive arguments is more difficult and more complicated than searching for deductive and inductive arguments. So yeah, I mean, that's definitely something to think about. And again, if people have any ideas, then we are certainly open to suggestions. Great, thanks. Next question coming in from Christoph Maltaire who says, a very inspiring talk, thanks. Did you look at publication years to do a diachronic analysis? So he says, I find the difference between BJPS and philosophy of science somehow puzzling, but it could be explained in a diachronic perspective. If philosophy of science starts in the 30s, where BJPS starts in the 50s when the discipline was undergoing professionalization. And so maybe their difference has to do with changes in how we write down philosophy and a way to test this would be to have a diachronic view on each journal. That is an excellent idea. Definitely something to do next. We didn't do it for this talk, obviously, right? If we did, we would present it, but definitely something to do next to look at the timeline and see whether there are changes in the types of arguments being made across the years of publication. Yeah, definitely. And we're running out of time, but I do wanna push this last one in a similar spirit of friendly suggestions. So Eugenio Petrovich also says, thank you very interesting. It'd be interesting to investigate with this method the role of the same inductive, deductive and abductive forms of reasoning and other disciplines studying science, like the more empirical ones is like STS and Scientometrics and to try to compare that with philosophy of science. Absolutely, yeah, that's a great suggestion. So thank you. We have a lot of work to do. And with that, I think I have to, I think I unfortunately have to call it there for time because we are over for the day. So thanks very much. Yeah, I encourage you, by the way, to go look at the Crowdcast chat on replay because it's been popping off as they say. So thanks very much for the talk and we will see everybody back here tomorrow for the final day of DS Squared 2021 with another actually exactly the same schedule as today. So looking forward to seeing you all once more tomorrow. Thanks again very much. We'll see you all soon. Bye-bye. Bye.


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with The Bucks, pushing them here reviewing the spy. Why? Because I got a very interesting email or something today where someone was saying that this is the top of the market. I laughed and laughed and laughed to myself and then thought I have to do a video. And here we are today. Why would anyone say this is the top of the market? I know why. Because people love to pick tops. They love to short tops. And why would someone think this is the top? Because we didn't break out over the high. Does it mean we're not going high or no? Absolutely not. Why would someone else also say that we're not higher? Because of the sell-off that we had yesterday. But what does that mean? It doesn't mean anything. You might have been talking about the fact that we didn't pull back, that we weren't going to pull back, that we never pulled back, and we didn't pull back. These red days were essentially the pullback. But every day they're holding. Even yesterday, even the sell-off yesterday did not fall through, did not close at the low. Close tight, making a new support, a support which by the way held today, held into the open. Neutral gap today held, held in the open, and we're closing today green. We will close green thin in 45 minutes. This is a whole people. To me, this signifies strength, not weakness, because we're not pulling back. A pullback is a pull-in and then a rally. And this basically just did it in one sell-off day. It said, that's it. We're done. We're going to quick, quick sell-off. And then we're going to hold again and we're going to rally. So we're going to rally through and gap up tomorrow. Neutral rally through tomorrow, which we probably do. Whether we have a small day tomorrow or a big day tomorrow, I don't know. Big Econ out Friday on Thursday. Big Econ out Friday. So that could really affect the market. We get over the high again on Friday, but this is absolutely not the top. And many people think this probably, which to me, it's hilarious because we just made another brand new all-time hot person that looks at charts like this in the world. I can't be. I cannot be. Am I? Because I might be. Because I'm starting to think that I am. The fact that the people are putting out there that this is the top of the market is hilarious to me. And that tells me that people short of this. And I can't believe it, but they must have. They probably did. And somebody did with yesterday's bar and the failure to get right up on over the high, but it's still higher. We could have broken out. We could have pulled in. We did not. This is all signs of strength, strong, strong, strong. We did not, with new brand new all-time money in buying, make a brand new all-time high in the market in the last month, just to make a top and then pull in and twitch trend. No, it's not going to happen. We were waiting all year for this to happen. You think we're not going anywhere after this? You're going higher in a big, huge, massive way. And so I never really thought there might be any shorts in here, but there probably is now after getting some emails today and the sell-off from yesterday. But institutional money will carry the market higher, just like it's been all this period, just like it supported the market all the way down here. And even though it took us a while to get going, the fact that we did it is 100% confirmation that the market is definitely higher. So the place to be is long. And actually yesterday, you could have gotten in stuff to go long. You could have taken good, strong stock long for the push that the market's going to make over the high. It's not a time to sell. It's a time to be buying. Take the opportunity. You got to buy the right stuff. You can buy the market if you want. The market's higher from now until the end of the calendar year. The number that we blow at, I don't know. It's probably above 220 now, because we didn't get so far from it and then we had to sell off debt. We're only less than two and a half bucks from that. But I thought it was very interesting. My prediction is the market makes another brand new all-time high. This is new money. This is a new move. It's a new move. It's just beginning. This is not the top. And that is not a strategy. Shorting tops is in a strategy. Buying bottoms isn't one either. You've got to have a strategy like the one that I have, which is based on gas in order to successfully, continually, consistently trade and make money in the market and be able to predict direction of bias. And the reason I was able to do it is because I read all the gaps. There was a bullish gap through the market in here. I read the bearish gap from the Brexit in here to determine this wasn't going to break and fall hard. I read these ones and I have a reading system that does it. And today, this gap today was bullish. You could have gone on the market today. You could have. And in fact, I think I wrote in the room. So we'll see where we open tomorrow. Probably up where we could actually... Well, let's just see. We'll see where we go. The big morning is Friday. Have a great day, everyone. Email me at Melissa at thestackswish.com if you would like to try the live trading room. The next class is August 13th and 14th. Have a great night, everyone.


Don't die, I will try my darndest.  Not sure what that sound is, but I don't like it. My hands are so sweaty. My knees are not actually very weak and I don't have palm spaghetti. Whoa, dude, I've never done that jump attack before. That's pretty cool. Did I? Yes, I did, dude, look at all the blood echoes. I did not realize that. I did not realize that because those are from the last time I played. I didn't realize that that happens. I'm gonna run up here just for a sec because God, these dudes are really trying to get me. Oh my God, dude, why are there so many of you? Stop. Okay, there's two down. I really wish that I had a molotov. This is extremely bad.  One, they hit pretty hard. Two, they poison you.  It's so not fun and it's so not cool that they do that.  So there's one, two, three, four of them that I have to deal with. Three small ones and one big one. And then after that, I think there's more outside too. Just super cool and very awesome to deal with. One of my fave things for sure. Oh, good. Another one, oh good, I missed. Cool. Oh, I thought I got him too.  What can I say? I really do. They're just annoying, you know?  I don't trust them. I don't trust them. I almost just got killed by all those birds.  God, you're annoying. What do you have, mister? Well, this looks scary down here. I don't really like that at all. That looks kind of spooky. Where's the next lamp? I need some exchanging to happen with these blood echoes.  Oh my God. Oh my God. Ooh, is this a shortcut? Is this a shortcut? Oh, it is a shortcut. Cool. Sweet. Well, on the bright side, I don't have to do a ton to get back there because at least I don't have to go through that whole thing again.  Trying to look on the bright side of whatever. Should I keep going or should I go back and redeem these blood echoes because I don't wanna die? I don't know. Are your feet? Oh my God, there's so many of you. There's so many of you. Disgusting. Disgusting.  This is Spencer, my sweet baby boy. My sweet baby boy from heaven above. Look at him. Gaze upon him. Everybody tell him he's a good boy. Spencer, you a good boy? Spencer? Spencer, you a good boy? Hey, hey, excuse me, Spencer. Oh, there you are. Hey, but what if you locked onto him? Hey, but what if, but what if you lock? Nope. Which way do we want to go? Is this a boss? I have a feeling that that door is a boss. Well, I do gotta say, I don't feel super safe in this neighborhood. Feel like there's some boys out here. Let's go. What's this? What's this? What? How did you appear here?  Why did you just appear? What? Did he jump from somewhere? Where did he come from? Did he just not let, and I said, brah, where did you come from, brah? Let me do a TikTok dance for you. You fucking, God, I really, I've gotta tell you, I cannot stand you. The suits are a lot easier to beat now though. Dude. Oh wait. Oh no. This is a boss, isn't it? Hello? Are you a real person? No. This is a boss. This is a boss. Do I want to do a boss right now? I guess so. Oh no, no introduction at all? We're just gonna hop right into this. Is that what we're doing? Okay, cool. I guess that's what we're doing. Oh, you're, okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, one of those missed. For God, I was using short range. That actually makes sense. Wow, it is extremely hard to hit with the Molotovs right now. What kind of aim is this? Aim is the answer. See what I'm really worried about? He's really hard to hit. It's cause he's so skinny. His hitbox is really, really small. He gonna morph into his second form but God damn it, I was being poisoned. Shit.  I was completely not paying attention to my HP. I was really dumb. I completely forgot that I was poisoned. Definitely want to summon this boy again for sure. His poison hits for so much.  Why does it hit so? Ethan started listening to copyrighted music during his stream. So I made this montage to combat that. Please enjoy. After dying, chat reminded Ethan that antidotes exist. He then immediately made his way back to the boss where he summoned his favorite boy, Alfred. This time, Ethan was confident that he could win and it was a good fight. But there was one fatal flaw. He started the fight with only four blood vials and he just used his last one. Ethan had victory in his grasp but he died. He was not very happy about it. After dying, he decided he should try grinding just a little bit more. And as you can see, many foul creatures were slain. Here is footage of Ethan enjoying his copyrighted music. After grinding, he fortified his weapon and filled up on blood vials, cocktails, and oil. With more supplies and a better weapon, he decided to make the trek back to the boss. And of course, Alfred was summoned yet again. And then, before you know it, the fight had begun. As you can see in the footage, it was an absolute slaughter. There was no way Ethan could possibly lose. And with impeccable dodges, flawless timing, and pinpoint accuracy, Ethan had finally beat the boss. But he still died to poison. Oh, I think we're good. I think we're good. There's nothing there. So I think we did it. Cool, third boss down.  See, it's funny because I thought the boss fight was gonna be down here. I thought it was gonna be through this door. But nay. What? I can't even open it. 20,000 blood echoes, I never had this many. Whoops, accidentally. I accidentally pressed that.  I don't remember you being able. I don't remember you at all, actually, nevermind. Were you not here before? I don't think this dude was here before. Nope.  This dude was not here before at all. What? Uh, excuse me? What is this happening?  Can I help you out, dude?  Okay. All right, I'll leave you be. Kill them? I think I will, actually. I will secure the bag. What up with the moon, dude?  I'm pissed at you. Dude, I'm pissed at you! Two of you at the same time. That sounds like a bad time. Who was this? The Nightmare's Rituals crave a newborn. Find one and silence its heroine cry. Do I have?  That's pretty much what it just said.  That does not sound super chill. Ow, ow, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, what the? Oh, wait, I'm alive? Not for much longer, because I didn't heal. Jesus Christ. Okay, oh man, this game's easy. Got him with two. You love to see it. Got him with two. You love to see it.  To that I say no! Dude, he almost. All right, guys, we're gonna do a raid. Thank you guys so much for coming out to the stream. This game is incredibly frustrating. What did we learn?  No, I absolutely am. I really, really am enjoying this game.
