Hey, what's up everybody? So in this video, I'm going to give a very basic quick start with MetaSounds and how to make some procedurally generated music with a tempo control for your games. All right, so the first thing we want to do is you want to create a new project in UE5. This is just the basic project with some sample content and you need to make sure that you got a plugins and that you do a search for MetaSound and so you want to make sure that this is enabled and so this talks a little bit about what MetaSound is. It is a way to, you know, graphically design some sounds for your game, for your video, for your whatever that you're making in Unreal Engine. You can create music with it, sequenced music, or you can use it for sound effects. There's a couple of different tutorials out. I'll put some links in the description if you want to learn more about different ways to use it. All right, so now that you have the plugin installed, if you right-click in your content browser and you go to sounds, you should now see that you have a MetaSound option and this is what a new one looks like. You have this on-play trigger, you have an output trigger, and you have the output audio. I will switch over now and show you one that I've already been working on. Okay, so here's how we use these triggers to feed into the main system here and to to receive them and to create the sound. Okay, so let's start with what I'm using for my kick sound here. So I'm coming in, I've got this the whole note trigger, so it's going to be hitting on the one of every progression through. And so what I've got going here is a little more complicated than the other ones because typically the way that you synthesize a kick sound is you have a note envelope on a pitch and that envelope quickly lowers the note and then you basically are gating the sound out of it with another envelope. And so in a very super simplistic way, that's kind of how that works. And so I'm generating a MIDI note here, fairly low. I've got this been set to 45. It's coming in, it's transforming the MIDI note to the frequency. It's multiplying that by this envelope. And so this float envelope is basically taking this initial pitch and lowering it quickly. And so then that's being fed into the frequency of a sine wave here, which is also going up and down. And that's being filtered here with another envelope being multiplied with that. And then that's coming into our main mixer here into our channel one. And I've got that set fairly loud because it's not a very loud sound. At least I wanted it to be louder because I wanted to have a little bit of an oomph to it to kind of a kick. And so let's take a look at what I'm calling my snare sound there. And this is actually happening on every half note. So on the one and three basically is where this is happening. And so it's coming in. I've got the half trigger. Let's see. I'm actually not using this envelope here. I can probably clean that up and delete that. We're coming in to this envelope and we're basically just creating a white noise just to kind of have a little kind of a snare-type sound. And we're having the decay time pretty pretty fast on that, attacking it immediately. And so it's the idea there is to try to get it to where it's, you know, a percussive sound. And then I've got this delay note that I'm adding on to here. I'm just adding like a 0.5 delay time and I'm kind of mixing out, you know, full dry and the wet is only at like a 0.6 here. And that kind of just adds a little bit more of a snare reverb type of thing to that. And I've got that coming out and going into channel two of the main mixer. And so that covers our kick in the snare sound. So let's see. Let me just drop this down to 0. And let's see if we can see what that sounds like just on its own. So now let's add a little bit of melody to it. Let's add this back to 1. And you can see that I've got that snare sound mixed pretty low because it's pretty abrasive. And I just kind of wanted to be in the background and just kind of be adding that additional rhythm to it. And so let's see. We've got two elements here so far. And one is sort of my bass and one is the other melody. And the bass is being triggered on the whole note. So, you know, it's triggering kind of along with the kick drum. And we're basically grabbing a random note between, you know, 60 and 72 in this range. This is sort of the middle range of the keyboard. We're pulling it in, you know, quantizing it to a MIDI note. We're basing the root note off of this other input that I've created, the MIDI key. And so this is so I can make sure that all of the melody elements are all on the same key.  And so another experiment I want to do with this is changing the root key of these to create a chord progression in another video. But for this, we're just keeping it within the same scale here. I'm using a major pentatonic on this. You know, we're not having a whole lot of notes here. So this is pretty okay for what I want to use. You've got tons and tons of scales, probably all of them here. We're just going to use this. We're pushing that frequency into a triangle because I kind of want it to be a sharp bass type sound. And let's see, we've got an envelope here that we're using for that. We're multiplying those and we're putting those into channel one of our melody mixer here. So then we come down to the melody trigger. This is being triggered on the quarter notes. So this is happening on four notes out of every progression. And so let's see, we're kind of coming in the same thing. We're doing the same note range on this. I was experimenting with this and I kind of like this bebop major. It kind of adds a little bit of the blue notes in. Once again, we're setting the root note using the same MIDI key over here. I've got that currently set to the key of D. And let's see, so we're coming in, we're multiplying the float. We're putting this into a square wave just to kind of change it up from the triangle a little bit. This is fun to experiment with. You can add lots of different ones of these like you've got, you know, a triangle. Let's see where all the generators are.  All of these are all built in. So you can stack these and experiment with these just like you can. If you have synthesizer keyboards and you can switch things around and plug things in, this is a software equivalent to that. And so basically I've got that coming out. I've got that going into another simple delay here with a very short delay time. I don't want to muddy up the rhythm or sorry, muddy up the melody too much. And I've got that coming out and going into this other the third input here of the mono mixer. And so basically, you know, I could use the wet and the drive this to kind of do the same thing. But I wanted to experiment with increasing this delay using an input in a future video. So I've got it set up like this. So basically then we've got the melody coming out and it's going into the third channel of our main mixer. And so we've got our kick, our snare, and our melody. And these are all being mixed and they're going out to the audio output. And when you hit play with all of it, this is how it sounds. So then you've got all the pieces playing. I can, let's see, if I go over here and change the ppm, I can change this to 250. And let's see, play again, it should be quite a bit faster. And so now I'll show how you can set these input values in a blueprint. Okay, so changing these inputs for Metastown through a blueprint is actually pretty easy. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. I had to look through some documentation, but I eventually figured out how to do it. So here's how to do it. Basically, you can drag your Metastown onto your scene to your level. And so I've got it right here already. It shows up as an ambient sound. You can see we've got everything already set over here. But your input variable doesn't show up over here for some reason. So the way that I change it, let's just do it in the level blueprint to be easy here. So basically, I've got a reference to the audio test one. And if you don't know how to do that, you can either drag it over from the other screen or you can make sure that you have it selected here. And then when you go to the blueprint, if you right click, it'll give you a create a reference for an audio test one. So that's a little nice trick for blueprints. So at any rate, we come into here, we grab the audio component of that. That's actually the Metastown. And we're going to get the parameter interface. And so this is the interface code of the audio component that allows us to change parameters. And so when we first come in, we are going to take that interface and we're going to set a float. And we're going to set the float of 50 on BPM. And so basically, when this starts, we're saying play this audio at 50 BPM. And I've just set up some little debugger quick keys here, one and two. And you can do this easily by right clicking and just hitting, you know, the key on your keyboard three or whatever, it'll allow you to do that. So I've got one here going when it's pressed, it uses this interface reference and we're setting the float to 200 of the name of BPM. And on this one, if we set it to two, we're basically just resetting it back to the original 50. I really dislike the fact that we have to use strings for these, but that's still kind of where we are right now. But this is how it works. And so let me show you, let me play and I'll show you how it works. Okay, so we're to go from here. So my next step with this is to try to build out a step sequencer. I've got a lot of experience in music production and I want to try to do some of the same things here. And so I'll make another video in the future showing how to do that type of thing. So make sure you subscribe if you like this type of content, Unreal Engine type content or cinematography video content as well. And, you know, like this video, feel free and share it to your friends or anyone that you think might like it and leave a comment if you have any questions and I'll try to make sure to answer them or, you know, make another video in the future explaining some more of these things. So thanks for watching.

Hey everyone, welcome to another live Narc Saviva video. The Narcissist is like a bad teacher. They teach you things through their behaviour or through manipulation, coercive control. They teach you things that are not right. They provoke you to react to them.  The Narcissist has values and beliefs that only benefit them and they want you to conform to these beliefs so that it can further benefit them often at your expense. They teach you the wrong things. They don't motivate or encourage you to be great. They have to play down everything you're doing because it benefits them. But there is something we can learn from this. Instead of following the Narcissist's walk teachings, listen to your own voice. Listen to what your intuition is telling you and go there. Teach yourself. Become your own teacher because Narcissists are not good teachers. They are not good mentors. Just look at the Narcissist. Look at how they treat people. Look at how self-absorbed they are and how they lack empathy and how they think they can do whatever they want. Just look at all of these things and ask yourself, is that something that I want to be a part of? Are their teachings going to benefit me in any way? This is what you need to think about. The problem we have is Narcissists like to have the authority. They like to be in control so that they can maneuver things to go their way. They don't become teachers or mentors or authority figures because they're looking to improve people's lives. It's all about the control. They want to control people. It's like sociopathic behavior. They will step on you so that they can get ahead. If you want to learn something from someone, look for their results.  Are they really setting a good example for you? Is anything that you want to achieve? Has it already materialized in their life? If it hasn't, that suggests that they are not a suitable teacher for you. So don't let these Narcissists teach you. They want to be influencers. They want to be the authority. They want to have control. They want to punish you. While all of these things may be good for them, you've got to think and question, are any of these things good for you? If you're dealing with a Narcissist nine times out of ten, it is not going to be good for you. It's only going to benefit them and they're just going to manipulate you into thinking that it is good for you. So don't let the Narcissists teach you. Instead, find good mentors, people who are already doing what you want to do, who are already where you're looking to go. Find people who are doing that and then you will be heading on the right path to where you want to be. Thank you all for joining this live video. I hope that it has been helpful to you.

Fluoride, fluoride, fluoride. Anyone who starts exploring health and nutrition figures out very quickly it's not something you should be brushing your teeth with let alone drinking. If fluoride was so good for your teeth why is there a disease called fluorosis which is overexposure to fluoride in the first eight years of life actually ruining your teeth? And before we get started if you guys can please subscribe so that YouTube can unsubscribe you next week make sure to check that notification bell so that YouTube doesn't notify you of my videos and therefore please check out frank-dejafano.com to actually support me. There are many studies that have been done correlating fluoride intake during pregnancy with lower IQ it's absolutely a direct poison that's just kind of the very easy correlation. Now you could point out many other aspects of our modern life as well lack of omega-3s too many agrochemicals radiation exposure from various devices but the goal of the ruling class is to keep us alive and stupid not smart or dead gotta be somewhere in between so malnourishment and slow poisoning is key. Fluoride is a halogen one of the families of elements in that halogen family also contains bromine chlorine iodine as well as several less known ones fluoride chlorine and bromide tend to be used in many products especially food and water in excess poisoning us basically anything that the average person puts in their body probably contains excess of halogens to this point of poisoning iodine can sort of counter these negative halogens which is why some people do get a detox effect flu like symptoms when they start taking iodine. I'm sure most of you have heard of decalcifying your pineal gland and that was kind of labeled as some tin foil hat stuff some years back but there's truth to it you know there are studies showing that fluoride does accumulate and calcify those glands in your brain including the entire brain itself the hypothalamus the pituitary the pineal which are crucial for regulating all hormones throughout the body and that is definitely the most important thing for optimal development you know we spoke yesterday about all of these important hormones and if you wanted to keep someone alive but stupid the first thing you would do is damage their brain and that's very easy to do with these halogens because they are incredibly reactive and depending on what the halogen is bound to dictates the behavior in the body calcium fluoride which is naturally found in soil is contained in pretty much any spring water source and trace amounts not viewed as harmful sodium fluoride on the other hand is a synthetic industrial version and is the harmful poison we are talking about now what they put in water is called hexalophoreal salicylic acid and the Google description for that is not pleasant lorosalicylic acid appears as a colorless fuming liquid with a penetrating pungent odor corrosive to metals and tissue both the fumes and very short contact with the liquid can cause severe and painful burns used in water fluoridation and hardening cement and ceramics as a wood preservative I think one of these doesn't fit in here possibly that one you know it sounds like you should be stripping paint with this stuff and it sounds like it would kill you if you took a bath in it you know let alone drinking it what is more dangerous to put in water than this stuff I think it'd be safer to put gasoline or bleach in your water and this chemical is actually a byproduct of producing synthetic fertilizer yes that poisonous agrochemical crap being sprayed all over your food they're dumping it in the water supply for your health for your it's it's crazy what's nuts to me is there's someone physically pouring this stuff into the water at the plants there is someone literally poisoning your water I wonder if that person drinks tap water at home and even if they did use a filter fluoride is very hard to remove there's an interesting story that kind of shows that the United States is a testing ground almost in the Netherlands 1952 the Dutch followed the lead of the United States and started fluoridating their public water it took until 1971 where a doctor correlated you know the fluoride in the water with a baby's breathing problems because after he removed fluoride from the baby's water it was cured shortly after that the city of Amsterdam began fluoridating its water children quickly developing symptoms pains ulcers in their stomach which led to a clinical trial being conducted where they found even more symptoms that same stomach pain those ulcers in addition to excessive thirst skin irritation and eczema headaches blurred vision allergies depression joint pain muscle weakness extreme tiredness these symptoms have also been documented in more recent studies if you just google fluoride toxicity symptoms that's what they are and just like most poisons the government sneaks into our lives there's only a small percentage of people that react acutely and that small percentage in reality is pretty high around 5% and most of the time for the majority of the populace it's a slow damaging effect and after those research results in the Netherlands were published a water fluoridation in Holland was discontinued in 1976 the doctor wrote a book titled fluoride the freedom fight which you can check out now I haven't read that book but two things mentioned alongside it are that fluoride has a tranquilizing effect and that it's also used in medication so I started looking into this and fluoride is one of the main active ingredients in the anti-depressant Prozac it's even used in anti psychotics anti schizophrenia medication they even sell fluoridated water specifically marketed towards babies as purified nursing water that has got to be the most estrogenic poisonous water you could ever give to a developing child and the people who create those medications who put the water on those shelves knew exactly what they were doing they're removing the competition there's absolutely zero chance if you poison that person they're going to develop with a brain function high enough to compete with you in their adult life because of that tranquilizing effect when fluoride is given in water to a population in small amounts it's a way of controlling human behavior you know someone that is poisoned with these chemicals is also more docile easier to control more influenced by authority I think most of my viewers have seen my videos on water understand the importance of removing fluoride but once you understand more of the story behind it as well as the negative effects on the body it can really motivate someone to actually remove it from their lifestyle you know most of these negatives we need to remove in our lifestyle are lied about in modern society you know good luck convincing someone to keep their phone on airplane mode to reduce radiation when the media labels anyone that says that as a tinfoil hat nut job good luck convincing someone that fluoride is bad for them when the media and their dentist has brainwashed them for 20 years you know this applies to everything the agrochemicals in our food and water I talk about the estrogenic compounds from plastics as well as medication especially birth control they're turning everyone into a bunch of estrogenic docile fairy boys that listen to big daddy government and you know with those new tests coming out the you guys hear about that the anal swab tests I think they're actually going to be bending over for big daddy government so thank you guys

Hey, Aaron, what you working on? Some science. Science?  What's FAFSA? It's the free... Live from Rivers Edge, it's Saturday night! It's the best of Brian Seitz, starring Brian Seitz. Brian has taken on something that I think not a lot of us would necessarily step into in public education. He works with the at-risk students that others may have just either forgotten about, ignored or in some cases our society throws away. He sees value in everybody and made sure that he brings those students forward and so that they can be successful in life. I think he's a leader in the state when it comes to alternative education. On his cell phone, I bet if you asked him for our state representative's cell phone numbers, he's got them. And so he'll advocate, he'll call those guys and say, hey, this is how it's going to affect our kids. I met Brian through a local initiative for community solutions. It's a planning process that our community went through where Brian and a lot of other community members came in and offered assistance for our community to plan around health and human services mainly, but his focus was education. I think that Brian is very proactive in knowing what kind of help the kids need and he's just very observant and he tailors it for each individual student. I didn't do much my first semester, and so then my second semester I had him for most of my classes, so he just pushed me to get everything done. Without him, I don't think I would have graduated. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Seitz! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Alright, John F. Kennedy once said, let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities because in each of us lies a private hope and dream, which fulfilled can be translated into benefit for all and greater strength for our nation. That's what guides me every day in the work that I do with my students.


Wake up, son. Wake up, wake up. When Christina Laster moved to Palm Springs, California in 2020, she considered sending her son, Daniel, to the local elementary school. I saw a school across the street from my house, so I started to think, well, maybe he could go to the district school. But at Julius Corsini Elementary, the students score well below the state average in English and math. There was no way that I was going to send my son to a filling school. So Daniel attends Palm Academy, which is part of the spring's charter school network. Like all charters, the school is publicly funded, so there's no tuition bill. And Laster feels it's well equipped to serve Daniel's special needs. And we leave around 7 o'clock. I drive 35 minutes to 40 minutes away. Because it's a charter, Palm Academy accepts students from as far away as the next county over. The problem is it doesn't provide transportation. Having the lack of transportation to get our children to school is hurting the need for the resources for single parents like myself and low income families. We need them the most, but yet we still don't have them available. And this is a nationwide problem that limits parental choice. Although it varies by district, about two-thirds of states don't require districts to provide transportation for charter school students. Like many things in public education, the orientation that school districts and the public sector tends to have towards school transportation is that the clients are the schools or the school districts rather than the clients or the parents and what they need. Andrew Rotherham is a co-founder at the nonprofit Bellwether Education Partners, which has been studying how school transportation limits parental choice. A lot of places, it's a struggle for parents to get their kids to a charter school in suburbs that are very car-dependent where people may have to go great distances. Choices start to become out of reach. In the group, it was substantial for low-income minority kids end up going the furthest to get to schools. That's a function of parents being in communities where they may not have a schooling option that they want and having to go a great distance to avail themselves of one. Okay, ready to go? I'm going to think in Jesus' name we pray, amen. Have a good day. After I drop him off at school, I'll just go to the park. Typically I'll spend my whole day there in meetings back-to-back or on phone calls. I don't have any Wi-Fi at the park. If I have these in the bathroom, I'll just go to the park bathroom. The longest hours that I've sat in the car at the park are from 8.30 in the morning to 4.30. If Daniel was provided with transportation to get to school, I could do my work more efficiently. Hi, my name is Christina Laster. I'm the director of policy and legislation with the National Parents Union. Laster, who spent nearly 13 years in the San Diego public school system, now works in education reform. There's no funding from the state of California that is offered to charter schools for transportation. It's not even a line item on their budget. We have a local control funding formula. We have what is called the local control and accountability plan and there are no resources granted for public charter schools. Opponents might say the state already has offered parents an education that's close to their home. That's what zoned neighborhood schools are. Why should they be required to transport kids to another neighborhood or another county just because their parents are dissatisfied with local schools? It really comes down to what is your vision for the public education system. The school choice argument is actually the system should be responsive to the parents. They are the ultimate stakeholders. That's how you preserve political support for public education. I would never send Daniel to the district school because I know what that's like. I've been there before with him. We've experienced what the data shows. Before they relocated to Palm Springs, Daniel was enrolled in a public school in the town of Lake Elsinore. Laster sued the school for mistreatment and for failing to meet Daniel's learning needs. Shortly after the case was settled, they moved away because Laster said she was the victim of domestic violence. By the time Daniel was in first grade, the teacher mistreated him. By the second grade, he was emotionally vanquished. He had suicidal ideations and he didn't want to go to school every day. And so I decided to immediately pull him out of that school in that school district and homeschool him. But after probably about a year and a half, I recognized that that can become very expensive. And one of those years, I enrolled him in Springs Public Charter School. Remember how much time you have, right, Daniel? Three hours. Two. If we were to look at what happens with African American or black males in this country, if they're able to read and write and if they're excessively punished, that's what we call the school-to-prison pipeline. I don't want my son on the school-to-prison pipeline. I want him to stay on the path he's at grade level. He's not failing in English, language, arts, or math. Which is huge for fifth grade black boys in the state of California. Despite Daniel's academic progress, Laster is considering homeschooling him again to avoid the commute. The Springs Charter School Network offers programs that support homeschool families and study at home education. School transportation, for a lot of people, it's like the plumbing in your house. It's not something you think about much until it doesn't work. The pandemic has forced that to the fore. A lot of people are paying attention to school transportation because of these shortages and so forth. But these are long-standing issues of a system that just doesn't work as well as it could, but kind of is in the background and people aren't thinking about. And some of these issues we're seeing now around choice and parents wanting different things are going to bring that to the surface. I especially believe that for parents like myself that are single parents, being able to be offered a resource to allow their kids to get to that quality school, you know, of their choosing is a must. Hi, everybody. I am not going to be on camera. I'm going to be multitasking, but I'm present in the meeting. I've done everything that I possibly can within a day. I can become very overwhelmed. I want my son to be educated. I want my son to have upward mobility. So I sacrifice now to make sure that he has the best outcomes possible later in life.


B.S. football is back at home tomorrow. Four o'clock kickoff against Concordia St. Paul. The Golden Bears want to know coming off a 24-0 win over Minot State.  But the Beavers are looking forward to getting back to Chet Anderson and putting Weekwind's loss behind them. Just looking forward to bounce back. Got to bounce back. It's always tough to take an L, but unfortunately, it's part of sports, so we're going to see how we bounce back. Yeah, it's great to be home.  I think it's more of what we need to control on our own side is we need to just play fast on offense and play physical and tackle better on defense and really just take care of the special teams battle.

Our first presentation is titled, Beyond Blockchain, New Directions and Distributed Crypto by Victor Groschenko from the Kravitzky Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics. Victor, I'll let you take the screen over from here and start sharing. I'm not presenting any paper, so in part I'm presenting the project I'm working on. In part I'm using my paranormal powers to predict future for the next 10 years. And one may ask why do I want to predict the future? Well, about 10 years ago in 2011 I read the paper by Satoshi Nakamoto and I was working on peer-to-peer cryptographic systems. So before that I worked on one cryptocurrency startup. So I kind of analyzed the paper and I put my opinion in writing, I posted it, it made circles, hacker news, the crunch, whatever. So every year after that, I'm becoming increasingly proud of it because most of the points I made, they even more evidently true year after year. I even mentioned that this technology is definitely not green. I mean, from the calculation, it is obvious that if it gets used at any significant scale, it will be a concern from any green point of view that this kind of energy consumption at this kind of scale is just criminal. So at the time I had an exchange with the top Bitcoin developer at the time. Basically he asked how to fix these things and basically I had no idea. So that kept bothering me for about 10 years. So now I have a lot of ideas. I may say that the situation is slightly better. Well, on this graph we may see the scale of the catastrophe, more or less the last 10 years, the hash rate. So we all know that Bitcoin is consuming electricity like a country, but the discussion is like which country Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, Argentina, there are many opinions. Nobody knows for sure what it consumes a lot. At the same time, it produces, it makes like seven transactions a second. So I will put that into comparison. This is like the earliest telegraph, electromechanical telegraphs, which was actually popular. It is the Bado system. It is like 30 words per minute per operator for the operator's per machine. So it is like two words a second. So it was slightly slower than Bitcoin. So definitely, yeah. But if you consider this machine, which is more or less the same time frame, it is a Maxime gun and it was like 10 bullets per second. So it was faster than Bitcoin, noticeably. I must especially notice that the mechanics of Maxime gun was modeled after a steam engine. So basically the approach to engineering, also engineering paradigm, it was a lot of what a lot of us cut it from steam engine, steam engines all the time. So basically so far Bitcoin is slower than steam engine level engineering. We may say that we are big fans of steam banks. Then some people say that we will introduce more sharding and that will increase performance. Then here is your sharding. This design is from 1940s. So it is relatively modern, but it was already obsolete at the time. In case your system has less than four shards, then the Maxime gun is still faster than yours most likely. That irony aside, let's think what the problem is. My understanding of the problem is the pieces. A blockchain is basically a linked list. I mean, if you take a regular linked list and we replace pointers with hashes, we have a blockchain and the other way around. And linked list is a data structure which is not actually recommended for practical use because of its numerous shortcomings. For example, to reach an arbitrary point in a linked list, we need all of N iterations. We basically, we have to end cryptographically speaking if we want dealing with blockchain, we have exactly the same problem. To verify some piece of history, we need to iterate the entire chain back to the point. About 10, same time, 10 years ago, that was Delft University. That was joint work with Zahrona Bakker and Delft University. We proposed a live miracle tree. If you consider a git or typical blockchain, we have like miracle blocks which are connected by a linked list of references. And the idea was to use a unified live miracle tree which doesn't have that two parts. It is just one unified miracle tree which grows right and hashes in the tree is getting like filled out gradually. And this kind of construction was actually envisioned for live video, since it was adopted by the DAT protocol which you may know about. And it was partially borrowed in the design of Bitcoin version two. So the good part about this design, it is extremely easy. You need a logarithmic number of steps to reach any cell. So it is like a binary search tree as a data structure. So I'm really surprised that I look at all those blockchain designs and I see that same old linked list everywhere. It introduces a lot of limitations. It restricts really the design space and I think that is really an absolute design. Then another problem to consider is the accumulation of cryptographic sediment. But we have history of the blockchain, the transactions from people who are on debt and all the cryptographic primitives, hashes, signatures and everything, it accumulates indefinitely because all those primitives, they affect their part of the record. So they affect any later record, basically to make everything clean and nice, you have actually to keep that sediment forever. It is part of the record. And then the idea of Panatono script is to arrange primitives in a way that all primitives are generally not part of the record. So there is one way error from the data to keep the primitives. Basically, we may discard all the primitives because either they are derivable or they are superseded by new primitives. As an example, we have two DAG graphs and one is a superset of another. Like this one is earlier, this one is later and the assignment with the same key. Well, under most circumstances, we can discard the earlier signature because it is the same key and all the same data was signed by the same key later. So the idea is Panatono script is to make the primitives discardable under the natural course of events. Another thing to consider, the output of trust and trustless computation are kind of, there is a contradiction, but it is mostly illusory. When we send something over Bitcoin, some coins to somebody, we probably expect to get something back. So there is some instant trust relationship and overall all that economic activity tends to happen in networks. By the way, this is a screenshot from a volunteer application, some earlier version. So it naturally happens in networks and all blockchain designs, they seem to ignore that completely. I was very happy to hear about the talk yesterday from the Facebook related group. That was very nice, yes. So if we speak about human social graph of the planet, there is a small world rule that we can reach any human being on the planet in six handshakes or less. If you speak about computer networks, that number is probably three or four. Oh, depending on what you count, but it is possible to arrange really compact networks which are still based on some sort of trust relationships. So this is a big opportunity in, well, ripple, ripple, ripple, maybe ripple. Then actually the main topic of the talk are optimizing linear log. This slide I had to borrow from the next speaker. Thank you very much, by the way. So all the architectures with linear logs, they have clear scalability limits and big internet companies face in the end of the 90s. So the scaling, they're optimizing it and basically there are two ways. One is to make industrial deployment of that linear log like Kafka and then separate systems. But it is hardly applicable to our case because this implies no trust boundaries. And the other way was to give up total order, give up linear log and somehow live with the eventual consistency. And so Amazon Dynamo, Cassandra, Cassandra is massively used to that level. It is massively used all the data from iPhones and everything probably flow straight into Cassandra. And it has some really impressive scale of deployment. So one key problem to talk about, suppose that this graph depicts our blockchain, right? So we have Genesis block on the left and we have like entire history of the chain. So suppose we are accepting some coin as a payment, then this red dot is us accepting a coin and the white dot is the point if you see the yellow rhombus on the right and the white dot one of the coin was minted. If you arrange things right, then all the data that is relevant to the transaction resides in that rhombus.  From the point it was minted to the point it is going to be accepted. So the idea is why when I accept a coin I have to consider the full history of every coin in the universe. That is actually a question I don't see much of talks about. Then suppose we switch to some sort of causal partitioning. I mean, it sounds cryptic, like causal partitioning then give up total order in Minkowski geometry but in fact we use causal partitioning when we are using Git branches. When we are using Git branches we are using causal partitioning. It is not that noticeable because typically those branches have 99% of shared content but still it is causal partitioning. There is one branch, there is another branch. At some point we merge them or maybe not. At this point I mostly talk about the ongoing projects. It is a replicated object notation and their own base storage and everything like that. Assuming we want to limit the relevant data to that yellow rhombus on the picture then basically we have to live with the database which naturally works with causal partitioning. So it is like Git but even worse to say it this way. Or more radical, like we have data you maybe have some shared route in the past but the data naturally lives in different branches and unless there is a real necessity to synchronize those branches they stay independent. So this kind of approach. It is like more radical than Git. Another relevant model is like class six from 1978. It is Lamport's model of events in the distributed system. Also highly relevant in this context and obviously the haven't before relation. Like for most pairs of events in our blockchain we are probably not really interested in their reality for them because these are just different pieces of data. More or less replicated object notation based storage looks like this. It may have different branches. Those branches may not merge at all, they're mergeable but it may not be needed to merge them. Like in case of Git eventually everything gets merged actually not because for example, Linux kernel it has parallel branches for new tree and maintenance tree but now as a list so long-living data branches and more or less this is the situation. So in terms of chains for each writer, for each entity, for each key we have like separate chain and then those transitive closers of those chains in the form branches and so on so forth and branches also may merge them. This approach to databases it is based on the CRDT theory, conflict-free replicated data types. It is like mathematical framework which is like 15 years old for dealing with the mergeable data structures. I mean without mergeable data structures you cannot have branches because I mean it makes no sense to have branches unless you can merge them any moment. And in this particular case if all data is CRDT you can merge them any moment. So you may keep your data in branches and merge it, merge them if that is necessary. Currently there is one public demo from the systems there are various alterations of the code on GitHub. This is a RON Viki which is available. It is based on RON so basically all the text is RON based storage where every letter is a creation. So on the right you may see RON basically these are patches which are referencing each other like which patch relates to which part of the document and so on and so forth. On the right is the result in Viki page. This is the kind of storage I'm talking about just a little demo. So thank you very much. I sincerely hope that this proof of work madness will be a thing of the past and I really have big hope in all the directions of research I mentioned. Thank you very much.


Hey welcome back to the channel. So a couple years ago I learned about this strategy or concept that completely changed the way that I run my online businesses and how I make money online. It's a strategy that helped me create four digital products that have each generated six figures plus in revenue the last two years and will help me create many more of these digital products in the years to come. So if you're in an online business and you make money selling digital products or you want to make money selling digital products then watch this video until the end you're going to discover what this strategy is and how to apply to yourself and your business and your products. Now before I jump in if you are enjoying the content make sure you hit the like and subscribe button. Let's me know that you're enjoying the content. It also helps to show it to other people who can benefit from this as well and with that said let's jump into this video right now. So I don't remember exactly where I first heard this concept or this strategy but there's two people that I've heard talking about it a lot recently. One of them is Ian Stanley another copywriter that I really enjoy reading his emails and his content and Jack Butcher who is a designer. He's on Twitter. He creates his own digital products and he always talks about this concept as well. So the strategy is called selling your sawdust and it's the idea of selling the byproducts of your work your business or things that you're doing in your life like your hobbies. So for example let's use a business scenario here since this is a business related channel. Let's say that you are a freelancer and you are getting paid to write emails for clients. What would be examples of sawdust in this scenario? Well you might have cold emails that you sent out to get clients right you could turn that into templates. You might have sales scripts and proposal templates that you use to close those clients and get high amounts of money for the gig or the project or on a monthly recurring basis. You might have when you do get the client you might have email templates that you use to write emails for those clients then to make your job easier and faster and more efficient. So all of these things are examples of sawdust. These are byproducts of your work freelancing for clients and writing emails for clients. Now what do you do with the sawdust? How do you use it to grow your business? Well one way is you can use it as content to help you grow an audience. So a couple examples of that is you can just share your processes and your templates on social media like Twitter or Facebook or YouTube and use it to grow your audience or your followers on those platforms. You can also maybe turn it into a lead magnet and use it to grow a Facebook group or an email list. So using your sawdust and the byproducts of your work in your main job whatever it is a service or freelancing or whatever you're doing for your business you can use that to grow an audience. It's probably the best way to grow an audience. The other option is you can turn it into a paid product or paid offer. So you can take all these templates that you have and processes and workflows and scripts and you can put it into a product that you sell to other business owners or people that want to build a similar business to yours. So this is basically the path that I use to build both my audience and my digital product business and educational business was following this this concept here the strategy of selling your sawdust. So I started off as a lead gen agency where we worked with clients in the SaaS space and we offered cold email and LinkedIn to generate them leads and phone calls for their business. I took all the processes and templates and things that were working in the services side of the business and I packaged it up into a product called Beast Mode Prospecting that I sold to other SaaS founders and other agency owners to help them generate leads using LinkedIn and cold email. So I was basically showing them my process so they could do it for themselves if they if they couldn't afford us or didn't want to work with us on a services basis. Then once I was more successful and I grew the business to a multiple six figure a year level I sold the entire business model as a course and a program helping other people who wanted to build a similar business. And nowadays I'm writing for just a handful of clients in the info product space and I'm managing their email list and I can do the same thing here I can sell my sawdust here. So the process that I'm using to manage these email lists and the emails that I'm writing that are doing well I could turn those into templates I could turn this into a digital product or a course or a coaching or a consulting type of thing and I could do this over and over again right every time I'm going out and getting results I can turn that into a product or content to grow my audience. So even more recently over this past weekend I turned more of my sawdust into a new $99 offer and got 22 new customers in just about three hours of work it took me to create the sales page and all the promotional posts but I'll do a case study video on that in the next video maybe next week or so to show you how I did that how I launched it how I came up with the idea but those are all examples of selling my sawdust all the byproducts of my work things that get results I'm creating new products and new content around that to grow my audience and grow my income. So the point here the bottom line is that everything that you get a positive result with is something that can grow your business can grow your income and or can grow your audience. So really what you should be doing is every day taking action finding things that work and once you do find something that works you can use that as sawdust to again create content around to build your audience or to create products around to grow your income in your business. So that is the whole sell your sawdust strategy that I use to create six-figure digital products and I've used this strategy over the last two years to create four different digital products that have all done six figures or more in revenue each and now you have the opportunity to do the same thing if you go out and get results with something you can sell your own sawdust and turn that into content or products to grow your audience or your income as well. Now if you found this video useful please hit the like button and let me know in the comments what type of digital product that you're going to be creating or what kind of sawdust can you turn into content or products of your own let me know in the comments would love to hear from you. Also if you want to learn more about making money with digital products and email marketing go to email rainmaker.com that's going to take you to my free Facebook group I'm pretty active in there and make sure more content around that and that's it for this video hope you enjoyed it take it easy I'll see you in the next one.


headline news update. Hi everyone, Basel Chapman here and this is Friday, October the 29th, the last day of the week, the last day of the month. Oh, what an important session is going to be. We're looking at the doubt that had made that peak D. Remember, we're always talking about the Chapman wave methodology. The objective is to get you from a bi-signal to a bi-mode going all the way to a D. That's where other things can happen. We make some decisions. We've got that peak D, but wait a minute. There's some P. So the dial is up 14 points right now, after being down a little bit earlier on. The S&P is down 12, having been down about 22 or 23 points earlier on. So it's come back quite nicely. So this could in fact turn out to be a double top. The Chapman wave peaks C1, C2, but we're not going to talk about that until we see what happens. 45, 98.53 is the all-time high. Yesterday failed to get there by about a point. Today it's at 45, 84, down 11. Still the day is young. We'll see what happens by the end of the day. Can it get there? It doesn't have to be today. It could be early next week, but certainly 45, 21 or 45, 40. I'm sorry. We'll be key support in the shorter term. We're going to the QQQ. Exactly the same thing happened here. You made a high 383.15 at peak C. There should be a D somehow or other. We'll have to see what happens there, but it's down to that 382. It needs to get to 383.16 to start that leg. The IWM Russell 2000, we're talking about a rally within that halfway mark. It needs to get a 228.24 up 14 cents. It needs to get to the 230.50 area or higher. That'll be good action, but so far it's just stuck in a range. Gold. We're looking at gold down 28 points in 1774. It just keeps doing that, having the sudden Friday sell-offs. Then we're talking about 1774. As I said before, it's in a range. It's still holding pretty well within that range. What's the dollar doing? The dollar is now up a little bit. It's up 31 ticks at $19.98. Still making lower lows and lower highs. You're going to be watching this dollar very closely. It's crude oil that we want to focus on. Crude oil is down just 39 cents at $82.40. If crude oil closes, as I said before, under $82, that's going to suggest that next week we can see some softening in the crude oil prices. I'll be back for the tiger technicians hour in a moment. Hope you can stay. Otherwise, have a great weekend. Have a good Halloween and we'll see you Monday and check out more people that use that. In fact, in a few moments, hope you can stay.


So I'm just gonna do some some testing before we apply it on the oh man, it's already oh It's hard already. Okay, so it works. We're good way too much. Oh man, but too much too much harder Okay, hey guys time for Bondo any side pick a side any side so as you can see this bumper is Send down with these guys here Some air tools, you know guys interesting fact. I actually did some bundle work Must have been like 13 14 years ago once and So did Lucas about the same 15 years ago. So was it 15? That's a 28 no, is it 20 years? Yeah, so What your bundle is not working How long does the thing been sitting on your your shelf? I 13 years Well, yours has been sitting for 15 years, so What Nice So I guess our 27 years of experience 28 yeah, oh, yeah, 20 years. Excuse me our 28 years of experience Is not helping over here too much. What partner? You said too much across Yeah, that's all the bundles.  Oh, yeah, we did clean it with a stone Yeah, this really is about Well old We did throw some old ones old cans out. This is just hard as rock without the hardener or it's like rubber I should say I'm gonna try and mix it again, and we'll be back second mix less Hardener Remember we don't know what we're doing That seems better What are you talking about? We have 28 years experience in this field, aren't we? Yeah, I keep forgetting Wonder why Easy thin thin film Nice We're gonna ignore the bottom You know who looks under the bottom nobody Unless your look is try not get in the corner there Yeah, it's creamy already. Oh You just messed it up over here, man Oh It's it Well, we can always wait for it to dry send down the high spots in We do it read the bundle again, you got a pinhole here fill it in man fill it in Oh There's a professional body man out there watching this Sorry man This is the thin stuff the thin bundle or the regular You're looking at the brake pads. Yeah, I'm trying to figure this out. I Think on the box it said fine It's not fine. Definitely Good thing you're wearing your mask why yeah, we have to come back here and fix this mm-hmm I think I have the cheese Greater thing to get the the thick stuff off You know I don't talk about To get that, you know the bumpy stuff off first and then send it This thing Take two. Okay. The one thing that I know Is that you don't want to get any bubbles in here? I'm sure I mean I can see I have plenty Is to not mix it around but to kind of Squish it that's that knowledge from that secret book you you you almost yeah, I was finished I did read a book about Bodywork and stuff, but I was 13 years ago Man away too much Man, it's supposed to be thin. No, what am I doing? Hey guys, what you've been watching that happened about I'd say maybe Eight months ago or so it was it was hot Now it's cold winter time February Anyways last that footage so don't know where went no idea what we've done was Basically added too much Hardener the first time dried up too quickly and as Every single batch we mixed we added less and less hardener until it it was not enough and The the last batch or Banda once it was on the bumper it took like two to three months to dry It was it was rubbery to the touch anyways, we kind of ignored that and just send it down and Eventually pained and that's what's next and that's another disaster That's I mean the whole bumper we're gonna we're painting the whole car well another whole car the hood defenders the rear bumper parts of the doors and stuff remember the car needs to Be color matched throughout to past inspection So Yeah, look what I'm doing now. Some of you may know the famous Hemmy tick in the 5.7 dodge ram engines Look at this one of these this lifter collapsed Check this out This one spins this one's good And this one does not spin Look at this. This is good. This is bad. You see that and this guy was Eating this cam look at this This cam lobe supposed to be as high as this It is just actually this way so about This high look how much of The metal it ate all the rest of them are good Just this one. I mean, this is a mess over here Got done with one of the heads today Still got to the other side This is the timing cover is done. What a mess. Anyways guys, stay tuned for the paint job because It is a total disaster But we've done it Gonna kind of a spoiler alert. I did make two new purchases Which is gonna kind of you know help out with the racing events and stuff so as always Subscribe like this like see you next time
