Couple notes Yes, I will be doing some drinks tonight. I got Be doing some shots and all that will be we got like a little milk some Bud Light Seltzer strawberry lemonade just because why not kind of a pansy little drink for a guy.  Also if we get some, you know, big donations tonight Who never whoever knows I do have Dr. Cherry and also some Jagermeister as always folks Drink responsibly.   Don't do anything.  I am Using a really old webcam Because as you can tell in the title of the stream I don't have another camera right now We'll talk about that what happened What I'm doing about it why I am on the brink of selling a bunch of stuff That I didn't plan to do but you know it is what it is Let's uh, let's go live and you can see my really low frame rate old-school webcam Hi How you doing having a good night tonight? Oh my god. It's so bad. It's so bad Maybe I've been spoiled the last three years Maybe I've been spoiled the last three years that could be what it is Because I have had this This is the Lumix g7 Not like the greatest cameras in the world You know, it's kind of like one of those like YouTube starter cameras You know, so it's not like you know some two thousand three thousand dollar camera or anything like that But this is a Lumix g7 capable of 4k at 30 FPS I had a few lenses the lenses are fine. They're back there on a shelf So all the lenses are fine But the camera itself is done now it kind of looks in this weird configuration Actually like this thing still articulates and moves just fine. So you would look at this and think there's nothing really wrong, right? Besides, you know not having a lens attached There's nothing really wrong with it, right? Well a couple things So here's what happened Today or really the last couple days. I have been killing it I'm doing a lot of homework lots I'm in the midst of finals right now for those of you who aren't aware. I mean, I'm a full-time college student I'm in a programming class and I'm in the midst of finals and the thing about finals is That while I was doing 17 straight hours of homework and all that yesterday There were some other things going on. Eric was over here building these desks. So you see these desks back here The podcast that's not how they're configured for the podcast, but they're just sitting there for now Got these new these new boom arms in here. You'll see one back on the desk back there This one's actually going to go on the desk over there later and like, you know, we're just just building out and improving the podcast set and while I was busy doing my homework one of my children came into my office and asked me to Basically have gum I Don't have any gum So I kindly told my child that I'm sorry. I don't have any gum They responded in the way some kids do when they're told no They got super angry and they threw my tripod. Let me go grab my tripod. I'll show you So they threw my Amazon basics tripod which had my camera on top And they threw it against the wall now look The tripod doesn't look too worse for wear except for this top part here is completely broken off So I don't know if you guys know anything about the Amazon basics tripod There's a screw that goes in here and like hold the plate on that you attach to the camera The screw is gone the plate's broken So that broke whatever the tripod broke big deal big wolf, right, you know, whatever buy a new tripod It's like 20 30 bucks. Well the camera hit the wall so Technically the camera can get power But not only that the screen no longer work When you put it into manual video mode so say okay, I can't use the screen anymore, which really sucks It's really hard to focus without being able to use the screen the screen is really important for video work Say I want to put it in manual mode so you can look through through here looks like the the actual sensor in here is Broken So the sensor is broken and the screen is broken making this camera Nothing but e-waste at this point me could recycle it now Some people are going to be all hey, what's the big deal? I see it. I see it says steady steady drop. Yeah, it's example. Hey Why not stream with your iPhone? Why not use your iPhone to record your videos and Stream now I've told several people a great way to start a YouTube channel It's just use your phone.  It's way out of warranty. So we left it here I this is the camera if you guys remember for anyone who's been around long enough We fund raised as a channel to buy this camera before we went to e3 back in 2018 So anyways That's another here nor there So some of why don't you stream with your phone? Well, yes the stream quality with the phones amazing The streaming apps to attach this phone to my computer to run it through stream labs and run all my stuff Is not that great. There are apps out there. I have some of the paid ones. They don't work very well They're very inflexible lots of resolution issues lots of weird watermarks And on top of that it takes my phone away from me The thing about taking my phone away from me while I'm live streaming is this is my communication with my fiance Who is upstairs with my children? It's also my you know with my dad who had double knee surgery I am not gonna have my phone be unusable for an hour hour and a half two hours over on the stream goes Just so I could stream plus fight get any phone calls which obviously, you know You could turn your airplane mode on but if I got any phone calls, it would kill the stream so Yeah, streaming with the phone isn't always the best now. Could I record my videos with the phone? Absolutely Absolutely, I could record my videos with my phone and that might even be what I do for the next few days Or I'll just do voice over gameplay or something for the next few days. Well, here's the thing The problem with this phone is Because I'm an iPhone user not an Android user Getting the footage off this phone is a bit of a hassle It doesn't click and drag like it should because the files are too big now on top of that all the transfer apps out There actually kill the files halfway through and sometimes kill the phone now The one method I have been able to do is upload to Google Drive and then download off Google Drive the problem is I Don't know why but for some reason Google Drive on my phone is Very very slow to upload even on my local network, which is a gig I have a gig network in my house no reason for it to be that slow So it's super slow and can take sometimes three four hours and by the time I get a video just uploaded to Google Drive to download and edit You know if I'm doing news or whatever You kind of missed the boat on the news by the time you edit it you get get a video eight nine hours after the news Hit, you know, you kind of missed the boat and being able to get caught up in the algorithm at YouTube So in the end I'm probably gonna be doing a lot of voice over gameplay And I've had an Android phone a bit different you might say well then why do you have an iPhone? Well, I I don't have an iPhone for YouTube the iPhones because my entire family uses iPhone So it's more so They like FaceTime. I admit FaceTime is better Typically than a lot of the other video chat apps in my experience. I have been an Android user So I'm on iPhone because my whole family's on it. So it is what it is I didn't buy this phone to use with YouTube and I'm not going to go back to the days of using my phone with YouTube So what did I do? The blessing in the skies the blessing in this kind of blackberry the blessing in the skies is I have bought a new camera Now the thing is I could have bought the same camera this camera right here the Lumix G7 Runs anywhere from 500 to 700 kind of depends on what retailer you get it from It's anywhere from 500 to 700 for this The thing is if I'm gonna buy a new camera my logic is I've been using this camera for three years if I'm Going to buy a new camera then Why the hell? Don't I actually do something better? So I Spent $1,300 today and I bought a new camera now to be fair the camera Is about 900 to a thought it's about a thousand actually But I added a few accessories in there because the battery packs for this are not compatible So I need to get some extra battery packs I bought a cord that lets me plug it into the wall. That was extra. I bought a new tripod So there's a few accessories in there I had to get because the camera is not the same camera as this but I went out and bought the Lumix G9 4k So the big thing with that camera is that it has a 20 megapixel sensor versus this that has a 16 megapixel Center or 16.2 or whatever and that's got a 20.3 and it can record at 4k 60 FPS Which this cannot do this cannot this can do 4k 30 Not really that big a deal. I mean, yeah, it's cool. I can do 4k videos now Whatever and run them at a smooth 60 FPS, which is great for my audio syncing will actually work a lot better doing that But that I mean, that's great. You know, I think it does 1080 at 120 as well, which is really good, which is really cool So I want to get you know, even smoother frame rates or if I want to go I think I think I could do 720 at 240 or 320 or something say just some slow motion stuff Not that I planned to really do that doesn't not really relevant for what I do as a youtuber, but the thing is After I spent the $1,300 on the new camera and I made sure it came with a Lens I'm pretty sure the lenses I have will be compatible. I was looking at the sizes But I just wanted to make sure that it came with a lens that works So I got like a new kit lens because the kit lens that came with this is Different than the kit lens that you get for that So because there's some differences I wanted to make sure I had the kit lens that was intended to use for that one Versus the kit lens for this one because the kit lens for this one might actually be restrictive for that camera So that's another reason that was 1300 instead of 1000 I wanted to make sure I had the proper lens that was intended for the first use of camera And then we'll see if my old lens for this or the new lens I just bought if that even works with it and does anything So here's my thing This was a this was a hard debate to just drop $1,300 not like I could just pull $1,300 out of my ass I Was able to do it because I got my stimulus So it was like the stimulus payment that pretty much a lot of people are getting I was able to use that to buy it The problem is that stimulus Was intended for something else so I made a decision and after talking to my fiance. I made her decision That if I was gonna buy this camera and do it right and get the better camera and I mean I cried about this today before I even made the purchase. I cried after I made the purchase. I Have decided that I will be selling Some stuff to basically pay for the camera because the camera is more important to what I do here at YouTube then stuff It's more important than the physical switch the PlayStation 5 the Xbox series X my game collection It's more important than all of that So I'm not gonna be posting where I'm not gonna be selling it to you guys But I will be selling very likely All three of my game consoles So this so the switch the PlayStation 5 and the series X And I know that sounds crazy. It really does But It is something That I've decided to sacrifice for the betterment of the channel So I can continue to produce video content. I don't do a lot of game reviews So it doesn't affect that it does mean I will be playing games for a bit. Well, I'll be still playing PC games I'm gonna try to hold on to most of my game collection So I've got some PlayStation 5. I've got some Well, yeah, they're pretty sure I get the PlayStation 5. I've got some Xbox and I got some switch games I'm gonna try to hold on to my physical collection if I can But I need the money for other things my hope is Basically, I was hoping my tax return would be here by now But it's not so bottom line is this was an unplanned purchase But I went ahead with it So it is what it is people are gonna get mad But It's my decision to invest in the camera versus anything else. I'm not gonna sit here and E-Bag and say guys go down to the description and donate so I don't have to get rid of my stuff No, I'm not in the poor house I'm on time to rise plus two twenty dollar e shop PlayStation Network, whatever gift cards are still being given out Like I just I made it. I made a decision that for right now It's more important for the channel that I have the camera Then it is I have the game consoles. I will Have to get the consoles again down the line again I'm not selling this stuff To you guys People you know I see people in the chat.  I Am not going to sell the ps5 At a scalper price. I'm going to sell it locally and I'm going to sell it at cost I am not selling my series X or my PlayStation 5 for scalper prices. I could I Could keep the switch. I could sell the PlayStation 5 series X at scalper prices and Be just fine But I am not because I don't believe in scalping So I will be selling them at cost Heck the series X. I don't I think the series X. I'm actually going to sell for less Because I did custom mod it to add liquid metal and I can't guarantee That that liquid metal is going to last on that system So I'm probably going to end up selling the series X for 400 Just because I you know I did custom on it the warranties voided I can't guarantee anything with that So I'll probably sell that one for a little cheaper Then MSRP because I want to be fair to anyone who buys it But I'm not selling it to anyone here on the channel. I'm not selling it through Twitter or anywhere else I'm just gonna sell it locally replenish my bank account now I Don't I don't want this to become like a big drama thing where everyone You know, I already see people in the chat. I have PayPal sell to me like it's not happening. I'm not selling you guys my systems My personal opinion is that scalping can be okay if you only buy one night Well, and I didn't buy these with the intent of scalping. That's also a thing I've talked about and tried to justify especially for the PlayStation 5 I know I can get 800 maybe even a thousand for it And it was never it was not bought with the intent to scalp But I'm not gonna do that I Am going to Just bite the bullet now Now That being said, I don't want people worrying about me. I'll be I'm fine I'm not like I had a rough time earlier today when the camera brought I've been I've been really stressed out Now I'm just gonna be honest with you guys Finals is very stressful raising three children is even more stressful Work is stress and then on top of that the thing that I enjoy the hobby I do here on YouTube one of the things I use for that hobby that the community itself helped me get three years ago Is no longer functional because of my children It it's a hazard of you know, it's always a risk when you work at home And you have kids that your kids are gonna destroy stuff not just for your job, but destroy stuff for your hobbies It's always a risk And thankfully for the most part in the last five years my kids have not destroyed anything that's mattered Like the worst they did is my switch that my switch here if you guys notice on the The joysticks they ripped off the caps so it's like the worst they've done to anything I use For hobbies or anything, so I've been kind of fortunate my kids haven't done a lot of damage to expensive things now My kids did break. I had a really really nice Really really nice OLED 4k Samsung 75 inch curved TV full HDR full bang we spent like three grand on that TV. This was like three years ago Man, it was awesome Right when the TV went out of warranty two days after My oldest son decided to throw a football at it. He don't think he did it out of anger Now they knew what he was doing Either way he broke the TV. So that's technically the most expensive thing that's ever been broken And that's why to this day. I still don't have a nice TV. I do have a 4k TV This is like a right here the TV Do my streams down in a game on It is 4k, but it's just like a cheapy, you know, it's like a 50, you know, I think it's a 60 inch No HDR. No, it's just LCD You know steady dropping so sounds like your kids are the bosses of the house No, not really. I Don't know if you're a parent steady drop. I'm a parent of three kids. They're not the boss of the houses at all But kids break things that's just what kids do They don't always mean to do it the camera thing. I don't I don't think my youngest son meant To break the camera. He definitely meant to throw the tripod. He grabbed the tripod and threw it I don't know that he was thinking that when he did that he would break the camera I don't think he's only five. Okay, so I don't think that he was thinking this is gonna break daddy's camera Because he won't give me a piece of gum. I don't think that was going through his mind I think it was just a nearest object to him. He was angry. So you grabbed it and threw it I don't think he intended to break my camera. Just like I don't think my old other son intended to break my nice TV But what are you gonna do? So I bit the bullet made an investment. It's good So for you guys the videos are actually gonna look even better For me personally, I have a big ouch in my wallet Then I'm making some sacrifices for for now if I if I can find a way to not sell my systems You know in the next week. I'm I mean ideally I'm gonna be looking right now. I I have a backup plan But I just don't know if it's gonna work I basically I'm gonna need the money back by the end of the week. So what what I'm doing now is I'm kind of putting out some feelers to do some side work to try to pick up some extra hours at some other places and Try to make up some of the money back. So maybe you know, okay Maybe I only have to sell one system instead of both systems or something like that, you know Or maybe I don't have to sell any of the systems because I get just enough money to kind of skate by Until the tax return comes or until my next paycheck comes, right? so I'm I am looking into alternatives to keep my systems. It's just I can't guarantee any of those alternatives come through, you know As an example, I used to do roofing So I'm looking into some roofing jobs right now. There's some people I used to work with to try to Get some cashola. So then I can not sell the systems Because ideally it it'd be cool if like my kids broke my camera all that happened is I have a better camera My videos look even better and I get to keep all my stuff that would be at the ideal outcome But you know it is what it is Let me say hi to people in the chat.   She's the mother of all three of my kids Why we're not married right now We have been engaged off and on for 10 years So well nine years Engaged off and on we've lived together the whole time but Relationships have up and downs, you know And this camera by the way for those one this is like the C 910 webcam or something I had this webcam Back when in the 90s when I was doing AOL chat rooms and trying to like video chat with people in The 90s on dial up That's all this webcam is so for being that old I mean Brian Brian I told you I was not e-begging Brian see what are you doing? I? Just told you I was not e-begging You bastard I did I'd see this is this is what happened. I always get afraid by the way. Thank you Thank you, Brian.

I mean, I don't know what to say, but thank you But yeah, I'm not trying to get you guys to pay for any of this I'm not trying to get you to pay for the new camera or any of that stuff I mean, yeah, I'm technically fundraising for some new microphones. This microphone is great by the way But I'm trying to get the sure SMB 7 I Want to get at least one. I want to get two of them for the podcast, but at least one But thank you, Brian. Let me go get the mate. Let me go get the liquid death.  Take a triple shot. Well, as I said, I am trying to get some odd jobs Particularly roughing on the side here to try to keep everything all kosher. Here goes nothing Cheers man, so liquid death Man tequila will put hair on your chest. Oh, thank you Christopher Lockhart. You have a good night, too. I Kind of like having this boom arm here that I can like move around. Oh Yeah, I think it kind of makes the audio a little bit better Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the audio something shoot should sound better though as male nays and instrument The stream makes you want to go live nice Where's Nate? I'm right here. I didn't vanish, but thank you Brian so much for that hundo man. That's awesome. Um, that's a lot That's a lot of money. I'm still like in shock that I actually hit by I'm the new camera today. Let my fiance. I guess I should be shot my fiance. Let me do it. She She's like the number one supporter of what I do as a channel Seriously, I know I love it man. I Literally don't think I could do YouTube without her support She's just awesome That liquid death looks spicy The next time I need to do like 520 dollars. Oh, dude. I don't know the liquid death. It's fine You know how long it's been since I've done a liquid death and it's the first shot of the night See if the liquid death would have come like I don't know say You know 18 shots into the night, you know the 18 shots of like Miller light or something like that like You know maybe because I would have probably been a few cams, but That's cool that your fiance supports me next what camera am I using now this right now is not not an iPhone This is the C. Let me see exactly what it is Looking it up quick.  I've did I've had the six of the 90s. I thought it was the C910 That's not it's a 270. I used to have the C920 But it broke It's like the 270.  Sorry. Let me turn let me turn off the giveaway There's no giveaway tonight. I'm still doing the giveaway for the month. There's no giveaway tonight. Sorry. I got rid of that text I'm not doing a giveaway tonight. I will be doing giveaways. I'll still do the monthly giveaways That's that the monthly giveaways aren't going away YouTube YouTube pays for that What I make on YouTube covers the giveaways for the monthly giveaways Um Dude, McJerry you should make your son pay for some of the new camera out of his allowance money How presumptuous of you that my children even get an allowance. Let's just say my children don't get an allowance Not that it's anyone's business I do shots of beer.  I got I got Jagger here Jagger my sir. I also got Where's my Dr. Cherry hold on I got some Dr. McGillicuddy's cherry as well Yeah, I just had to be here, you know usually for lower lower ones, you know people do like five dollars or under, you know I'll do I'll do just like shots of beer.   Yeah, you're doing Jagger like now Need have I played crash for yet just got it. I Have not played crash for so I know he gives his dad Here's the thing Here's the thing my kids They don't need anything in particular they have You know, they they you know, they play sports They're in the music they get to go to the water park and go to movies and Do all the thing kids do my kids don't need allowance to pay for anything The big thing is obviously allowance is that incentive that gets your kids to do chores, right? Oh, here's your chores The incentive to do chores in our house is do the tank chores or you don't get to do the fun stuff Clean your room or you're not going to go to grandma's today Clean your room or we're not going to the park fold the laundry or you're not going to the water park Etc etc etc We were doing a allowance system at one point It didn't work it actually get made things worse.  They're not they're not playing instruments yet Unless recorder counts, right? I mean recorders technically an instrument when you're forky One thing I forgot to add as I rush off to amazon I wanted to get a desk mount Um For the camera desk mount camera stand Because my this desk now is up against the wall. So I want to be able to Mount the camera to the desk No, not like that. It needs to be one that can hold some weight Not a yeah like this one Yeah, I want to be a little more flexible than that So that's too flexible. That's that's not going to be able to hold anything with a webcam See finding the right desk mount for a camera can be difficult Well, there's that one That offers that's 80 bucks. I want to spend 80 bucks on it mount like that That's the problem You want to get the right mount to mount a camera to your desk It's going to be expensive if you want flexibility with it How much flexibility do I really want? That's really the question or do I want just a straight pole? If I just do a straight pole those ones aren't too bad Does that have some articulation at the top? It's like an angle at least like this one for like the 20 bucks Yeah, I'm just looking at okay, so max what's the maximum height? Max is 25.6 inches minimum is One foot I don't think that'll that'll clear That'll clear my monitor and That's a maybe then let me see Can you clamp on that side? I don't know if you can clamp on that side. I think you can clamp on that side All right We'll try this one out for 20 bucks. Wait, that's not in stock to march 27th. What the? Of course, that's one sort of stock dang dang amazon Why you gotta be out of stock, bro? How tall is this one? Oh, that one gets a lot taller I know it doesn't like that's shorter. Nope. Anyone taller than that Oh, man, these you guys are hearing me shop. Why are you shopping? Why are you shopping? Oh, okay But how how much weight can that hold hold on? Oh, that can hold a decent amount. Okay All right How much is that though? How much is that? Well, I can't see all buying options.  Let's not go. Let's not go crazy Like how high does this one go 22 inch? 25 inch What's the no that can hold a blue yeti mic? If that can hold a blue yeti mic the blue yeti mics are freaking heavy Okay Okay, this one comes thursday. Well, that's all right Instead I don't have to wait till the end of the month. All right, let's let's grab this one Sorry Extra accessories from my camera that I just forgot All right. Um getting back to the stream Um, we go to the camping or swimming etc. But any toy or video games I wanted I had to buy myself We go either go camping or swimming etc. But any toys or video games I wanted I had to buy myself A lot of people tell me that they'd split the cost 50 50 with their parents, but mine never did that Um, my kids get plenty of presents for birthdays christmas holidays. They don't need the necessary have Was it like for an amazon amazing? Uh, it was just a um a desk It was just a desk mount for my camera. So I got I have a new camera coming and um Now that my desk so when I'm doing live streams, I want to use my my nice camera for it So I wanted to be able to mount it behind Coming off my desk. So I can I can I can I can't put the tripod back there like I've been doing Um, the tripod I'm just gonna be used for most of my videos But when I want a shot behind my desk pointing this way, um, especially for live streams I was it was just a mount for the camera That's all there was a really really cool one, but it was like 150 bucks I wasn't gonna get the really cool one. So I just I just got a basic one I think we'll hopefully do I don't have the new camera on hand to know I can't imagine it's It's too much heavier than this one. I mean this one's pretty light though Honestly, this one is not it is a pretty light camera.  Not here. I haven't I have heard stories, but I haven't had any negative experiences here. I remember I live in a small town In the middle of Wisconsin. So We don't typically have a lot of problems um See here Crazy sconces we use allowance to teach kids money management and saving My kids When they got allowance, we're like I want to go spend it now and it's like It is their money. I try to convince them to save but I always say I try to convince my kids the value of things By like I work from home. So like having them see Like how hard I have to work Um just to afford the things we do have, you know Letting them see that, you know, you have to work hard for this You have to you know learn how to manage money and save and you know A thing like this, you know, I obviously didn't expect to spend $1,300 on a new camera today, but The reason I could even even have the money in the bank to do that is one because of the stimulus obviously But two You know the reason that I could do that and be willing to sacrifice other things is because I can manage money I'm not famous People think I'm famous blob boy Dude, people don't even know who I am. There's like one person In this town who's ever recognized me as a youtuber I am not famous. I've been to e3 and like nobody knows who I am I am far from famous Like man, I can't even do this for a living. But if I'm famous as a youtuber, I'm really bad at it Like my fame doesn't pay my bills Um Let's see here I was expecting a black screen. I mean I have I have a webcam Web cam it's really low frame. I mean look at it. It's so bad But whatever Basically, I expect a lot of voice over gameplay. My next video was already recorded. It's a pre-recorded video. I did A couple days ago. It's like a discussion video. So that one is going to be mine my old camera I'll be able to edit footage from my old camera for the last time Um, but any video after that voice over gameplay. I I think for htn. All right. Here's the news Um Thanks, um, it's a mason for that the name he threw in the thumbnail. I'm like, yeah, I'll just let it stick for a little bit Um, I'll probably try to record it with my iphone and go through the hassle for that video I only have to wait till wednesday Well, probably thursday realistically because it's coming from fedex or ups. So the camera probably won't be here until like eight o'clock at night Um But yeah, I'll probably do that video With my phone and just deal with the hassle of google drive and the slow uploading and It's a pain Or I won't maybe maybe I'll end up just doing voice over gameplay for everything for the next few days We'll see I can still do live streams as you can tell it's just Man I don't like downgrading um Ripped to my japanese version of mario luigi dream team damn Keep up the good stuff and you'll be famous like me. Okay Uh, no the rich and famous make enough money to live nine times over That's true I mean sometimes they really blow their money really poorly or make really bad investments and then they end up with nothing but um I saw one of your old vids that helped me a lot Backplay to true nice I'm glad I helped you marcus the back plate tutorial. Nice. I don't have a custom back plate on the switch But my old switch did my old switch. I put a custom back plate on I'm glad it helped you out. I mean I made mistakes in that video too And what I like about those videos is hey, you make the mistakes. It kind of shows you what not to do you know People always show you like the perfect way to do things and it's like yeah, but for first timers How many times does it go perfect? You know you make mistakes What are you gonna do? Yep, Aaron Jones resigned for four years. Yep. He actually signed a pretty cheap contract relative I thought he was gonna sign for more than that Love the live your life video had a great message and it thinks I'm glad you enjoyed that. Do I prefer cheesecake or pumpkin pie? I'm a pumpkin. I'm a pie guy myself Pie over cake pumpkin pie Although you could argue cheesecake's more pie than cake or whatever pumpkin pie Sad Vasco says I dude. I remember when my son threw a toy at my lg tv I was so mad. He was three and after a day. I got over it. It's hard though. I'm not Like angry at my children Like when I when I broke down and cried today after I realized the camera because because this happened yesterday Okay, I didn't know the camera was broken until today because I hadn't tried to use it till today um like When I cried it wasn't necessarily because You know, like I don't cry over an admin object. It's like my playstation 5 just stops working. I'm not gonna cry but I'm under a lot of stress and and this is just life I'm not going to stand and pretend that my life is any worse than anybody else's. You know, I got three kids Uh, one of the one of my kids suffers from depression. Um, I have another kid. It's got some behavioral issues Uh, in addition to that, um, I work full time. I'm also, uh You know in college full time. I'm in the middle of finals right now So finals are always the highest stress period. I did 17 straight hours of school work yesterday. So like You know, you get kind of excited sometimes or like I you look forward to things Like we got these new desks back here for the podcast on wednesday So like I'm looking forward to like getting this and getting getting things set up Using this new boom arm like I get all excited for some for these little tiny things That you and these little joys I I get doing youtube stuff and then all of a sudden you find out That your camera that you use for everything on youtube Actually is broken from what happened from your kid yesterday. So it's just It's just a boiling over of stress, you know We all we all of us can get that way. We know you we're maybe you don't cry.  I don't really I'm not really whining. Yeah, it's just time of life, man Give him a game. Well, Eric's name should be changed from more to less. He barely talks It's funny Um, I know you've probably spoken a lot about this with zelda theme switch Do you think nintendo will do it the regular switch or the advanced switch pro xl? You know what I mean? Do I think nintendo will do the regular switch or the I have no idea I wish I had the answers Your toilet and fridge just broke at once that sucks. We are our toilet broke Well, we we have two bathrooms. We have a half bathroom And then we have a full bathroom and the toilet in our full bathroom um broke Three weeks ago. We just had it fixed Um Wait, how come you're somewhat doing a live stream when your webcams working perfectly? Other people, although they don't know the difference between a video camera and a webcam Like this webcams from the 1990s It requires windows 98. I have to run it through ms dos In case you didn't know I'm running this webcam through ms dos, right? It's crazy. Um I haven't you dude. I didn't even realize I could even run ms dos anymore until I try to get this webcam to work But I mean there's a there's a big difference Between a camera like this and a dang webcam huge difference Have I played risk of rain or risk of rain too? Are they any good? I have not played them Savasca says with peace and love you could definitely do the podcast without Eric He barely takes and generally seems uninterested in playing He uh has a lot of dead air not trying to root. So here's the thing Um Eric's not going anywhere Eric is my best friend Eric has been the only person To support The podcast from day one And he's been basically on every episode but like two I realize I can do the podcast without Eric I'm not stupid I know that Eric would be better suited for a sports podcast, which is something he actually pays attention to but He does enjoy video games He enjoys hanging out with me once a week And he wants to be on the podcast. So He's on the podcast As for a lot of dead air He's not really dead air. It's just like You know, he doesn't say much like I try to make sure the podcast doesn't have dead air, you know And I'll drag Eric in when I think he might have something to say And sometimes he does Uh go watch the pokemon episode Literally it's like two weeks ago. Go watch it. It's just me and Eric and Eric said a lot It's just he's not as well versed on on he's really into some things and really not other things. So it's really It's finding that fine balance, you know You know if I if you want to talk to about madden, dude, he'll talk Dude, he'll talk for three hours about madden The things he really doesn't like about it Um, give us some advice on choosing a pc build one yourself It's like adult Legos I mean except they're really really expensive Legos um Loyalty is key and good friends like proper good friends are hard to find.

That's fine Uh, we have a patreon a patreon.com section tenor prime if anyone would like to join got some stretch goals there some things we want to In the pipeline we want to get going Including hiring a video editor that would be great um so uh But thank you for the five dollars. I appreciate it But don't anyone feel like they need to like donate or anything because of the camera and and the financial stuff it did Take care of myself. I'm past the days of of e-bagging for people to you know Help me out with that kind of stuff if people want to donate and they want to and they want to join the prime time game I hit in the join button or or head of patreon.com or if they would like to Support the micro microphone fun with the donation link or whatever they could totally go for it get it done but like Nobody has to do anything um What did the beaver say when he hit the wall? Damn Um, is that why I watch an ad about cameras when I I think because video camera is in the So youtube I don't I don't you like so it's funny people act like I pick the ads that are on my channel And I pick how often the ads appear It's a check box. Do you want ads on? Yes Are your ads or is your video? Intended for kids no Okay, and that's it. I don't know how the ads are chosen I don't know why they're chosen and I don't know how often they show up people always that's like Oh, there's 20 ads in this video. I'm out of here like I didn't put 20 ads in the video youtube did Oh There there is an ad about you know, I don't know some political thing I didn't choose for there to be a political ad. They just did it So why is there an ad for a camera when you click because cameras in the title Triggering them to target camera ads probably to uh this stream I would assume Did I hear the news about lola bunny and pepe lapieu? Nope Are they cancelled or something?  I have no idea It's the way the world works. We're just canceling everything now just because it played in the stereotypes at one point Um What's when children have structure things that belong to father are respected so That that that feels almost like a backhanded insult to me as a parent season one reason I don't bring up my kids because people that have no idea what our life Is like they don't understand the behavioral and the depression It doesn't matter how structured their life is their life is extremely structured People don't always fit Inside a mold you see this this is a circle Life is like a circle But sometimes things don't quite fit in that circle and the mold breaks So you could blame me and and blame my fiance claim our horrible parents. It's fine. You're you're prerogative I don't blame the kid either. I don't blame myself Things just happen in life when I was a kid I broke my dad's stuff all the time Not because I didn't respect him. I had nothing to do with respect At all No, I didn't stay up late talking to my girlfriend because I didn't respect my parents I didn't you know Well phone time's done seven o'clock get off the phone. I didn't sneak back on at 10 p.m. Because I meant to need disrespect to my parents Common misconceptions sometimes that like everything a child does is about a lack of respect It's not necessarily the case All the time I mean there can be a lack of respect at times, of course Um my dog tore up my couch and I was sleeping right next to it That that that dogs man, you know Dog I have a dog dogs are dogs are wonderful. But I mean sometimes Like they're so bold. I'm sleeping and you still tore up the couch right next to me.   I have a version 2 switch right now.  I don't know who blistered thumbs is and I haven't watched screw attack in forever not since like the golden days was what stuttering stuttering craig Let's see.

They're old donations and super chats that happened like weeks and months ago Why they're suddenly appeared maybe these are ones that like never gotten that stream labs didn't catch before So now stream labs is trying to catch up Um, let me see here Uh, have I ever seen rogers base? Yeah, I've seen rogers base Uh, who's my favorite bioshock villain? The only bioshock game I played is bioshock infinite So I don't know.  Pumpkins as gimbal gambler? Can I get another? Mr. Pumpkin that mr. Pumpkin was one at a fair I sunk three counted three basketball shots on a row on the bent rims that were like Like this three in a row It's very difficult Um, the reason I was able to do that This is when I was younger Uh, we had a basketball hoop at my parents house Uh, I think yeah, it was my parents house and it kept blowing over every time we get really bad wind So it blow over and it would smash the ground and the rim would get bent and bent and bent And it got so bent in that the ball could just barely fit through And what are the rims like at the fair? The they're so bent that the ball just barely fits through So I had a lot of experience shooting on a rim that you could Barely get the ball in So that led to me making three in a row at the fair and getting the big mr. Pumpkin prize So am I going to get another one? Probably not They're expensive to buy on their own man Like stuff the animals that are that big mr. Pumpkin was huge huge It's it's expensive to get stuff the animals that big Uh because of the bloomberg report and recent findings These these donation things will stop the jlo one is let's see here Don't get me wrong if all these were legit donations right now that'd be crazy We got what one two what one two three four five. We're almost done. There's like five more that'll pop up um Because of the bloomberg report and recent findings.  Or do you stand by that 10 mil production before market point? I don't know I didn't really stand by the leaker It's a it's one of those things I said in the video that I had never reported on these people before I'm only doing it because they were right on some stuff um But at the end, you know You never really know It's why I called it a rumor even though I was the Source quote unquote source like the person like reporting it. It still was like You know, I wasn't really sure per se.  It's like no, dude You think I'll report anything go watch a channel called blocked content You think I put out every leak every rumor I find oh my god No Just no there are channels out there dedicated to just posting any Minor minute dribble that you could pass off as a rumor on the internet anywhere Like there there are multiple channels that do that.  We roll out the barrel I gotta be careful. So I don't get copyrighted Uh, how was your camera destroyed?  I'm in the middle of finals I'm still not done Um and he comes in and he asks for some gum my youngest son and I'm like No, I don't have any gum For some reason. I don't know what was going on upstairs.  I don't know how well it showed because the tripod looks fine But like when you look at it, there's this piece. Do I have the piece down here? Here it is So there's so there's this piece. Okay, so this piece connects to the camera, right screws in this fits in here just fine, right? Right, no problem But there's supposed to be a piece here that connects and keeps this Oops, sorry. I'm bringing this connects and keep this all together. Well, it's it's not there. So like That's not see how I ripped that off. This is not supposed to rip off like that So he broke that now. Whatever who cares amazon basics.  Who cares? Well, my camera was on that tripod And that hit the wall And now it turned like it powers on The screen doesn't work anymore So a lot of the adjustments you need to use the screen Like a lot of the fine-tune adjustments you need to use the screen and I can't Um, and even if you turn it to manual mode where you could like look through the lens You know like like, you know bring this in And look through the lens like a camera Turns out the sensor is broken too. So the sensor is broken and the screen is broken So while this thing can receive power and can technically turn on The two things you need to work the sensor and the screen don't So this is like at the time this was a seven hundred dollar camera Now I think you can get this camera for five hundred. This is like a great starter camera for youtube like if you were ever to invest into um You know doing a non cell phone camera for youtube where you want to be on camera You know getting a lumix g7 with the kit lens is a great starter youtube So what I've been doing all my videos on for years but It's destroyed So I have a new camera coming. I bought the lumix g9 Um, I'll show you guys actually maybe hold on I don't maybe I don't have the I don't have my display set up to show you actually Let me see if I can make the browser source work Sometimes I'll get lucky And then the browser source will actually work um I think it will if I go directly to the page when we go to lumix g9. Whoops I gotta do a lumix I forgot that I had wired this keyboard on so I gotta um Is this it? I think nope this But I got this version of it So let me grab this I don't know if this will show will this show 1920 Here we go. I'll show you guys. I'm gonna drag this to the top Just show you guys quick So I got this is the camera. I bought right here um So as you'll see I got the standard lens cap for for 1200 plus there's tax plus I added I added a new tripod So I don't have a broken tripod There's I could still use that tripod, but it's broken and I don't want to risk the camera falling off a broken tripod So I got a new tripod. I just bought a desk mount as well um, so it's been about 1300 But this is basically the Step up from the what I have so I have the lumix g7 That's not broken now. I bought the lumix g9 mirrorless camera um I prefer mirrorless you can get a dslr if you want if you're comfortable using a dslr Mirrorless cameras are a little bit easier to work with Um, so this one has uh about you know four megapixels more Um, it claims this this megapixels plus 80. I I'll have to play around with it to find out What's cool about it? I don't know if it shows on your guys's screen Um under about this item Let's see here. Um, yeah, see it does 4k 60 So it does 4k 60 under the first about at 10 bits So that's really cool. So I'll have to mess with the setting So it will it will record more than like 10 minutes of that at once because usually The camera comes locked at 10 minutes. So then you have to like unlock it And I have a memory card somewhere I really got to find that memory card because I don't know where it is But I do have a memory card somewhere to use for it. Um, I think it also has an hdmi port I don't know. I can't show you guys directly Um, but it has a standard hdmi port I think Or a mini hdmi one of the either way I have a mini hdmi converter, but I think it actually has a full hdmi port on it It'd be great if I was like a 2.0 or a 2.1 port Because then I could direct capture 4k right on my computer off the camera and 60 fps. That'd be great.  I think the lenses I think my lens is okay I'm not sure if like the lens that was on the camera is for sure. Okay. It doesn't look cracked or anything, but I got I got the I got the lens the Kit lens. It's not really it was not really a kit lens for this one, but I got I got the cheapest lens You could get for it Because it that lens is different than the other lenses I have And it's different than the other kit lens I have so I figured it'd be good if I'm getting a new camera to get a lens. I know for sure works with it I'm not positive the lenses. I currently have work with that camera So I wanted to make sure in buying that camera that I had a lens that works 100 I am not a camera savant I am not a filming savant if I was I would never go out of focus in any video I'm in The lighting would never change between light and dark Just because the lighting in the background changes from lighter or darker You guys see that sometimes when I have my monitor in the background in my latest videos It'll be like oh You look you might be in focus, but you're lighter or darker depending on the color of the monitor in the background Because I have rotating wallpapers That wouldn't happen if I knew what the fuck I was doing But Thoughts on map pat thoughts on rich Map pat I I got nothing against map pat You know the game theorist the food theorist the film theorist um I got I got nothing against him Uh, I know about That there's a lot of accusations Including from an outlet I used to run That map pat steals things I'll say this I don't think Half of the videos that map pat makes are his original idea I think what happens is he sees a really cool and interesting idea on the internet And then he feels inspired by that idea To dig into it deeper and create content around it I'll give you an example Because I I literally ran so I used to run zelda informer.com And I was the person that approved The link is dead theory going out to the internet and pushing it on dig.com at the time back when dig.com was a big deal um To make that that that Theory article go viral the link is dead theory is about how link is actually dead in major's mask and major's mask is link Going through purgatory basically and going through the five stages of grief Leading to his acceptance that he's dead Turns out according to igianomu that's bullshit But it doesn't matter at the time we had no such direct quotes from the creator saying that it's bullshit. So We at zelda informer created that theory did all the research and all the promotion We were the first place in the world the link is dead theory to ever pop up Next thing you know map pat puts out a video of saying link is dead And it really upset the origin any author and all of us that put research into the original article But map pat includes a bunch of evidence in his video that we're not in the article as well Yes, a lot of the things in the article are covered in the video because it's the same theory It's almost like it feel it felt like someone stole our theory And turned it into a video and then made a bunch of money off it. That's what it felt like But in the end, I think what happens is he sees a really cool idea And maybe he does steal the idea But he doesn't just take it. He kind of makes it his own in a way so In the end, I don't think everything he does is original But I don't think it has to be he didn't do anything illegal He didn't plagiarize He just took an idea And maybe used us as a research source and ran with it. So like I like map pat map pat also does a lot for charity A lot for charity.  Beast. Okay, mr. Beast is out here buying people houses But He is like he did an island for crying a lot. Um, but He does a lot for charity. He's one of the most charitable youtubers out there. So I mean, I have a hard time being mad at map hat just because He borrows ideas that aren't original Now rich review tech usa I got nothing against him. What what I what I dislike about rich Is when people think I'm his son. I don't really get it I don't know if it's because of the beard, but even when I didn't have the beard. I used to clean shave on my youtube channel So before the well before the beard People were saying I was rich his son. I don't get it. I don't see the resemblance between rich and me I don't Is it personality quirks? I have no I like I don't Rich and I could have been in high school together So we're close in age I don't really know why people compare us. So I think the most annoying thing to me is when people compare me to rich And that's like I'm his son or something Like dude rich barely even knows who I am He's mentioned me maybe one time ever in his youtube career And I don't know him at all. I've never had a conversation with a guy I think uh, he falls victim to what a lot of us do myself included Where we jump onto reports and onto information without verification and then um, you know stories sometimes end up not being true in the end but I don't I don't have anything against him I think he has grown comfortable with who he is And I and I've been watching his channel a long time. He used to do voiceover gameplay I watched how hard he had a time at transitioning from voiceover gameplay to being on camera all the time I that was a really tough transition for him took years But kasey my sister's here. How's it going sis? kasey jance And the chat is my sister. She is getting married this june. So people would like to at kasey jance in the chat and uh Tell her congratulations on her upcoming nuptials That would be wonderful Congratulations sis. And yes, I have your invite.

I don't know when all the activities start.  I mean the clock is ticking clock is ticking on this My kids broke my camera Oliver broke my camera chucked against the wall So my camera I use for everything That youtube is now toast new camera on order, but anyways Not something I was planning to spend money on that's for sure Um Did your trial realize what they did wrong? He has been punished appropriately Um, let's see here. I played turtle 3 nest today. I just got the retro avs Konami needs a remaster of the 3 nes games like crash Dude, I'm excited for Shrider's revenge. Clayton. I think it's gonna be great. It looks great anyways Thoughts on nintendo at e3 this year and when we'll see breath of law 2 next if nintendo is at e3. We'll see it at e3 Do I watch jacksepticeye? I know who he is, but I do not watch him Um, do you think we'll get a nintendo 64 mini? I thought so at one point, but I don't think so anymore Thoughts on james rulf aka the angry video game nerd creates a lot of original content But I haven't really watched anything, but angry video game nerd, which I think is a pretty good show Thank you guys for shouting on my sister. She uh Long time coming for it. She's getting married So She got married before me That's all right Um lamp oil ropes or bombs Hmm lamp oil ropes or bombs I'm gonna go with lamp oil because there's more than one used for lamp oil If you know what I mean All right. All right. I need a drink drink drink Give me drinks I need a drink Got it Don't worry. I got my own drink See, I don't need you guys to get me. I got myself. I want to do a drink. I want to do a drink I don't even know my sister's still there. She probably dipped out Uh e3 the e3 is trying to do an all-digital event has not been canceled at this point I mean, let me see what the official website says e3 I don't know if they've made the updates on the actual website. I've heard still like um E3 presents is what they're calling. What is this? Hold on.  So the official e3 website Says playstation 5 showcase september 16th I what that's old In television amicos like old xbox game showcase old. This is all old It'll be soft forward from july old Yeah, the e3 website has not been updated in so long.  So we'll see uh, what's up hq girl? How's it going? Either uh, if you know what I mean Technically nintendo never goes they just have a direct the week of e3 They did not have a direct last year and nintendo's at e3 every year What are you talking about? They Are literally at e3. They have like the biggest booth or one of the biggest booths at e3 every year so Here's the biggest misnomer about e3 The press conferences Have nothing to do With the actual show The esa does not run the press conferences The esa Has nothing to do With microsoft press conference playstation sony ube south the esa has nothing to do with that The esa is the company that runs e3 e3 is a in-person show So that's why I would said when they announced that e3 Wasn't going to have an in-person event this year people were saying e3 was cancelled this year because e3 While we tie the press conferences in The esa has nothing to do with the press conferences So when you say oh nintendo just does digital even if they were still doing in person It's got nothing to do with the esa. So it has nothing to do with e3 They just chose To base all those conferences around the time that e3 is holding their in-person show But yeah e3 nintendo's been there every year the e3 has existed nintendo has been there in person um I don't know if you heard about this recently about mario site at the olympic winter games wanting to do in quite the struggle for them I mean, I wouldn't be surprised that I cancelled That they have a quick turnaround on that game and it was primarily being made during covid um Do you think they'll show a breath of the wild too before skyward story comes out they could I don't know but they could Uh, do I ever watch the dude who doesn't watch devolver digital at e3 man Dude devolver digital at e3 consistently has one of the best digital events period E3 just got hit with the me2 movement It's cancelled. What do you mean you got hit with the me2 movement? Only the in only the as far as i'm aware only the in-person event was cancelled But it was always going to be cancelled because they still are dealing with massive covid issues in california So it was always going to be cancelled this year the in-person event But they have not officially cancelled the digital event as far as i'm aware unless there was news today Maybe there was news yesterday. I guess I was too busy doing homework yesterday to pay attention Was there news yesterday that they is the digital event cancelled? Granted they were waiting on support For the for the digital event Um Like I don't understand how the me2 movement could cancel e3 That I don't understand. I don't I really don't like I know what the me2 movement is I don't know what that would have to do with e3 Like when you think of e3 is there any person you associate with like this is the person that runs the esa like I don't know how the me2 movement could really affect it Just being honest I don't know who runs the esa nor do I care um What are you guys going on? Sorry, I lost the chat for a second Breath of the Wild 2 is the only game I care about pretty much, but let me be honest to you What should my expectations be? I mean you should care about more than just two people or two people two games You should care about more than two games I really care about those games, but like I've been looking forward to other games You know, I'm a big zelda guy so Breath of the Wild 2 is my most anticipated zelda game Mario Odyssey is my favorite Mario game So like I'm I'd really look forward to sequels for those games, but it's also kind of like That's not all I play come on now Expand your horizons. There's a lot of great games out there. It's platoon 3 example Um any youtube crushes those beat-em-ups count Wood I don't know if you're watching.

So that's the triple winner function after that function you see a use of the declare macro What declare does is really just def the supplied symbol to the value nil It would really be the same thing if we just wrote def triples nil But declare is preferred in this sort of situation because it better conveys our intent We don't really want to give triples the value nil We just want to make sure that the symbol triples is present in the current namespace Because we happen to define our next function winter question mark before our triples function and the winter question mark function It needs to invoke the triples function even though the triples function hasn't yet been defined when the winter function is compiled By creating the mapping in the current namespace of the symbol triples to some empty var The winter function will now at least compile It won't complain that the symbol triples doesn't resolve to anything Even though if we left the var of triples empty if we left it as nil Then of course at runtime trying to invoke triples as a function would trigger an exception because you can't invoke nil Of course as a function So that's what the declare form is for when we need to make sure that a symbol to var mapping pre exists for the Satisfaction of compiling some function even though we're not yet ready to define that thing Now in this example We could have simply written the winter function after the triples function and it would have worked us fine But for other cases particularly cases of mutual recursion when you have a function foo and bar that both need to invoke each other Well, one of them has to be compiled first. They can't both be compiled before the other So you're going to have to pre declare one of them. So that's the case where pre declaration is actually strictly necessary Anyway, let's look at this winter function What the winter function does is when passed in a board it will return the keyword x if x is when I'll turn the keyword Oh, if O's win and otherwise it's going to return nil if there's no winner, which doesn't necessarily mean a draw It just means that there's no winner yet. We have another function later that will determine whether there's a draw Looking in this function. We have a series of nested calls looking at the innermost call We're invoking the triples function passing in board and as we already discussed the triples function Returns a sequence of all the triples of the board the map function recall It's first argument is some function to invoke on all the elements of the provided sequence So the provided sequence here is what gets returned from triples and we're passing each element of that sequence to the triple Winner function and then the map function itself will return a sequence of all the values returned by triple winner So now that map is going to be a sequence of elements All of which are nil's keyword x's or keyword O's for our purposes We want to ignore the nil's so we're going to use the filter function to keep only the x's and the O's and The filter function is another sequence function whose first argument is a predicate function And so each element of the sequence returned by map is passed to this predicate function a set of two values and For all the elements for which the predicate function returns true. They end up in the sequence returned by filter So this called a filter returns a sequence that has all the values from map Which meet this predicate which are either the keyword X or the keyword O and then what filter returns that sequence We're getting its first value and that's what we return from winner So first consider the case where our board has no winner Then the map function here is going to return a sequence of all nil's and we call filter on that and we get an Empty sequence call first on an empty sequence and you get the value nil In the case though where one and only one of the triples is made up of all keyword X's Then the map function will return a sequence with just one value keyword X And so filter will likewise return the same sequence and then first we'll return the sole value of that sequence the keyword X And that's what our function is going to return Same story if our board has one triple and only one triple that's filled in entirely with keyword O's our Function is going to return keyword O Now there could be the case of multiple triples having winners You can have like one row that's filled entirely with X's and another row that's filled entirely with O's Such a board could logically exist But as you'll see elsewhere, we're not going to get there because the first time we get a board that has a winner We're going to stop the game. So we don't really need to consider such cases Just be clear if you did have such a board passed to this winner function Then whether this function returns X or O would just be a matter of looking at the triple's function Which one of those rows columns or diagonals comes first in the sequence returned by triples? But it's probably the best you consider such behavior to be undefined because again, we really don't care about such cases We're not supposed to get there our board shouldn't get into that state Anyway, hopefully you now understand these three functions looking further on After the triples function we define another function called full board question mark Which again takes board as its only argument and it returns true or false if all of the elements of the board Are either X's or O's in other words if the board is full This function is quite simple again We're using the every sequence function with a set as predicate such that if all the values of the board are Found in this set then every will return true. Otherwise it will return false So if any of the values in our board are neither keyword X's or keyword O's if they're the value nil Then the full board function will return false After the full board function we define another function print board which will display a board on the console and Note that this is actually our first impure function all the previous functions were all pure They didn't have any side effects. They just took an immutable input value and spit out an immutable output value Any case looking at print board first off We have a let form in which we are binding to board the result of this call to map Which is taking as its sequence the parameter board Remember we can do this in let form as the expression that returns the value We're binding to the symbol can use a symbol of the same name from the surrounding context and that actually works fine And let so the board that we're binding to and the board we're taking the value from the let form knows that they're separate values In any case the call to map takes as its predicate a function which we're defining in line Remember that the number sign parent syntax is just shorthand for an fn form in which the body has just one expression and The single expression in this fn body is an if form Inside this if form you'll notice that we have Percent signs and these percent signs refer implicitly to the first parameter of this shorthand function That's the other convenience of the shorthand function as we don't have explicitly declare parameters They're just implicitly percent sign one percent sign two percent sign three to refer to the first second and third parameters And and so forth with the extra convenience that percent sign by itself is just shorthand for percent sign one So in this if form we have a condition expression of keyword question mark The keyword function returns true if its argument is a keyword So if the parameter to the function is a keyword then this condition tests true And if it is true this if form executes and returns the result of subs subs is a function that returns a sub string from a string and the string from which we're getting a sub string here is The returned by the call to stir stir takes this argument and returns a string representation like if you passed stir a number it returns a string representation of that number and In this case the argument is percent sign. It's the parameter the function which here will be a key word And so we're returning a string representation of that key word and the call to subs Substring is returning a string of all the characters starting at index one of the string. So everything from the second character to the end So now in the case that when our predicate function here is passed a keyword x The condition of the if will test true and so we will call substring here subs with an argument which is a string with two characters colon x and Substring will return just lowercase x If though this predicate is passed a value, which is not a keyword that the condition will test false and The if form will return percent sign will return just the parameter itself So this call to map will return a sequence which is just like the board which we passed to it Except all the key words will be replaced by a string with the same name as the key word But without the colon like say keyword x becomes a string that just reads x So that is the sequence bound to board in this let form Then in the body of this let form we call print line three times and in these calls print line We're using the int function to return the individual values of board The first call to print line is printing out the top row of the board The second call to print line is printing out the middle row of the board and the third call to print line is Printing out the bottom row of the board The next function player name very simply takes a player name in the form of keyword x or keyword o Which is what we use to denote the players and returns the string representation of that player name is just a letter x or o Just like we did in the print board function We take the string representation of the key word and then we call subs to get the substring starting at the second character of the string Next we have not a function definition But just a def of some global variable starting board Which as the name implies is the starting state of our board earlier I believe I said that we represent the empty slots the unoccupied slots with nil values. I'm a spoke It's actually we represent them with the number indicating the name of the slot and that's just for the sake of when we print out The board is just friendlier to look at numbers representing the slot names rather than a bunch of nils So that's why it's one two three four five six seven eight nine After deafening starting board we then deaf player sequence Which is given the value returned by cycle with the argument of a vector keyword x keyword o the cycle function recall Returns an infinite lazy sequence that's made up of its sequence argument elements repeated ad infinitum So this infinite sequence now in the var of the player sequence symbol It's an infinite sequence that goes keyword x keyword o keyword x keyword o keyword x keyword o On into infinity as you'll see we'll iterate through this sequence to go back and forth between the turns of the two players


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com. I'm a dumb in that break right there where it's a Saturday blah blah blah random team Number 20 down there Good good catch by Jack B If you rewind this I want to keep this on this part of the screen right now But if you rewatch this video, right? I Rolled a six, but I ended up clicking through seven times, which was not correct.

Thanks everyone. We'll see you next time jaspyscasebrakes.com


Thank you so much for the invitation. Can you hear me? Okay. Okay. Great. So thank you so much. And it's very nice to see familiar faces again. I hope we can see each other in person soon. So I'm going to talk about a paper that we just posted in the archive like two days ago. It's a very simple paper where we are characterizing all gauge invariant functions with the goal of designing machine learning models that are expressive and easy to optimize and work with with them. So the paper is called scalars are universal gauging body and machine learning structure like classical physics and my collaborators are David hall case or a Fisher, which yellow and then blooms meet at NYU. So, as I said, the goal is to parameterize functions that arise from physics that obey classical physical symmetries like rotation invariance or equivariance party and boost in any dimension. So basically I'm saying I'm working with functions that take a collection of vectors in RV and give, for instance, a scalar are which is the function is invariant, meaning that if I apply if I act by an element of a group on my input vectors, then the function doesn't change. That's what I mean with invariant and I also want to parametrize equivariant functions so meaning that if I act on all the inputs by some say rotation, then the output of the function rotates accordingly. So this will be useful for a m body simulations and in particular this the Kate and David are in astrophysics. So the goal that we are looking into is cosmological simulations. And so the groups that we are taking into consideration here are like the classical groups are going to group rotations, which are SOV translations and then the clean group that concerns translations and rotations. The Lawrence group, which is the group that comes from special relativity, which basically is like on the orthogonal group, but you have a different transformation in the in the time space and the pointer a group that that's Lawrence transformations and translations and and also we we look to parametrize permutation invariant functions, so meaning that if I change the ordering of the inputs, the function doesn't change. So for instance, if you're doing particle simulations, then you don't care what order of the particles you give to your system. And then then they actually the groups act as you expect on your vector so the rotations are by duplication the translations. So the translations we're going to think that only act on some position vectors and don't act on other vectors like velocities and and that's it. And so for instance one example of translate of an invariant function is the total mechanical energy of the system that's something that you can write in this form for like masses positions and velocity, you can write it in in this way. And basically this total mechanical energy, as you may imagine, is invariant with respect to the translations and permutations of the particles and rotations. And basically, basically this is called like scalar function, it needs to have these properties in order for them to consider to be scalar. Anyway, so we are not going to consider other actions by groups that are interesting for for machine learning so for instance one of the typical groups that what people care about is the is the is the permutation group acting by conjugation. So in graph neural networks, so say you're given a graph by by its adjacency matrix and you want to find an embedding of the graph. And so what you want is that if you relabel the notes, then the, the embedding relabels accordingly. So that is saying that if I act by this group of permutations by conjugation, then the in the output, it, it permeates accordingly. So that's like the relabeling of the of the node equal to to that. We're not going to parameterize these these actions but I'm going to explain you how people do it in general. And basically what we propose is a different approach that may be simpler and maybe more expressive. So, the classical approach that people use to parameterizing body functions, and to design neural network architectures, depending on different groups are given for instance by the paper of RISC condor in 2018 called and body networks where they basically propose a way of parameterizing these functions based on irreducible representations, and there's also some some work by my own and collaborators and they have several papers on the design of in body and an equity body and networks. So the idea is the following. One approach that that they propose is based on what it would be like a generalization of a field forward neural network. So we have an input that is a vector. And then we're going to apply a linear map that is going to be equivariant, and then a non linear activation function that needs to be consistent with the action of the group. And then another linear function etc. So the linear functions that we are going to apply at each layer in the case of these architectures what they propose is that they actually going to take a tensor where you act by the group in each of the dimensions of the tensor like as a tensor action. So if you have a tensor like this, then you will apply the transformation in each of the dimensions of the tension in the tensor in the same way. And so this, and this is going to be linear and equivariant. That's the approach there. So linear and equivariant but extended to tensor so basically it's kind of like thinking of what would the polynomial functions will look like in a way. And so the approach that people use is based on introducing representation. So basically if the group is G, they consider raw representation of the group. And then they observe that having a linear equivalent map between these two spaces is equivalent to having a map between two groups of representations in the way in this way. So basically that the linear map composed with the representation of the group of the group object is is equal to the composition of that way, the linear map. So, so then once that we understand that understanding the linear equivalent maps is the same as understanding the maps between the representations, then what they do is they parametrize the maps between representations using the irreducible representations, because it's easy to do in in the case in the case that if you have a map between two irreducible representations is either the identity or zero or like a multiple of the identity or zero so basically if you can take your, your say say you want to find a basis to express all the linear equivalent maps that that for for a group action, then what you can do is take the group, look at the irreducible representations of that group, and then parametrize your all your linear equivalent functions in terms of the, of these irreducible representations. So in order to do that, then you will need to give in a representation, you will need to be able to express it in a satellite with this building blocks of irreducible representations. And typically, in our case, this, this, this representation that we have is of the has a form of a of a tensor of of a representation just because of the form of the linear maps that I gave you. So this identification here is typically in this in this neural network architectures, given by this class Gordon coefficients, like the, there is a way to decompose this product representation in irreducible for some groups, using this class Gordon coefficients, which are known for so three, but are not known nor implemented for groups of the greater equal down five, for instance. So for instance this approach has very nice mathematical properties and has been implemented there's some papers that actually implement this approach. So, for instance, a paper by Dean, my role in 2021 that proved that these approach universally approximate all, all SO3 equivalent functions. So other approaches, this is not the only approach to to produce a variant functions. There, there's a paper by a while and there's a line of work by taco coin where they propose other ways of designing a guardian convolutions. And the, there is this paper by Mark me things here also at NYU, and, and under Gordon Wilson, where they show how to express equivariance equivalent maps by giving a set of constraints so you can look at all the maps, satisfying the constraints that the equivariance constraints give you basically and they have a library that implements this and it's very nice. So our approach is going to be much simpler and and a little bit, and it will work for for any dimension. So, and this is, is like very simple mathematical property that is known from like the, from the 1900s, which is the, the characterization of invariant functions. So the idea is that, if you have an invariant function of n vectors in RV. This is a function is invariant if and only if it's a function of the inner products of the inputs. That is like the first fundamental theorem for for for all the. And this is also true for other groups of for instance for the Lawrence group. This characterization is true, but then it wouldn't be for the, for the typical inner product but for the Lawrence inner product, which is this one, which is not really an inner product but it works like an inner product, because it's not positive. The proof of this is very simple. Basically, if you have your vectors, you can construct the function, the matrix M which is the outer product or like the inner product matrix between the columns of B and B just the inner products. And then if you have the matrix of inner products, then you can do the Cholesky the composition and this the composition is unique up to orthogonal matrices. So if you're given the inner products, then you can recover the vectors up to the orthogonal matrices, which is basically the orbit of the group that you're acting by so that's, that's what you're doing. So in the case when you're looking at SOD, this characterization has a more, a little bit more is a little bit more complicated because of like something that I may mention a little bit later but it has more less same form but it's a little bit more complicated. So in physics point of view, this basically says that all is this is equivalent to say that all scalars can be written in nice transformation location. So just like taking inner products or things. And one may say, okay, but you're taking a function that had like n and d vectors and now you're giving me that is a function of like n square inner products so like if you're going to use these two parametric functions, then you are being very inefficient. And what I claim is that you can use the low rank low rank matrix completion theory or like literature to design some subspace of of inner products or subs like like subsets of inner products that allow you to reconstruct the the function from like the entire you can reconstruct all the inner products by just a subset. So basically you can say it's a sub is a function of a subset of the inner products and not only inner products. And then the design of the sampling procedure is something that I'm interested in and like how it would work in practice say it's restricted in this matrix to a subset of inner product. Okay, so that's for invariant functions and I said nothing new. But, but now we're going to go into like equivariant functions which is the ones that we care about in in practice. So something that is quite simple observation is that if we are restrict if you if we look at all equivariant functions that are vector functions. These can be parameterized as a linear combination of your inputs times where the coefficient functions are all the invariant functions. So basically functions of inner products, the proof of this is actually very simple. And so then this tells you that that just do only, you can write the idea you can write your in your equivalent function as a linear combination of your inputs, where each of the coefficient functions are an invariant scalar function. And actually we can prove that if this function is a polynomial, then these coefficients can be chosen to be polynomials, though we don't have a boundary degree of what of what these polynomials need to be. And, but maybe that's something simple that I didn't, I didn't figure out, but also we have examples where this function is continuous, and we cannot choose this coefficient functions to be continuous so there may be some something. Not that nice going on. But this, this parameter station works in any dimension, and we hope that this is going to be some some way to parametrize invariant functions that you use for physics, and does not require you to know the reducible representations. And so extending to the Euclidean group so translation invariance is trivial because it's just saying that if you if you have a function that is translation invariant of some vector inputs you can think of them as like a function of the differences of the inputs, right so So for instance, you is a function of the each of the vectors minus the center of mass, for instance, or like the vectors minus the first vector or something like that. So, including that is very easy. And then the next point is how do you characterize permutation invariance in this setting. So we know that if you have a permutation like all the invariant function we can use the formulation that we have from the previous slide. And, and, and then. Ah, I forgot to show you something from the previous slide that it was under the fold. Sorry. Okay, so we have an example for this that I think is useful for physics and I think it gives you like a nice perspective of what's going on. And how, how long am I going, am I out of time. Okay, I finished it to me. So basically the idea is that using the, the, the fact that the cross product you can. So the cross product is a is a is a is an example of a function that is not is something that you don't imagine that you can write as a linear combination of inputs. I mean, it's something that that is not actually the cross product is equivariant SOD equivariant, but will say so three if we have two vectors in our three, the, the cross product isn't is so three equivariant but it's not a linear combination of the inputs. So that's where the difference with those three lies. And, and so you imagine that if you write the electromagnetic force law in this form, then, then this, you may, may imagine that you cannot, you're not able to write the same combination of inputs. But actually there's like, if you, if you rewrite this tensor product as like these are like in this form. Then you can rewrite everything and see that actually the electromagnetic force can be written as a linear combination of the inputs where the linear combination functions are a little bit more annoying in the sense that in this expression over here. You can factor out your test particle, like it is kind of like a mean, like a field formulation. And in this formulation, you don't have a field formulation anymore. You cannot factor out the test particle. So it may be that actually the formulation, this formulation is not that I mean, it has disadvantages that's the point. And then, finally, for permutation invariance, I wanted to say that we can choose that all the functions, the coefficient functions are the same. And they will take the, when they multiply when we're not coefficient of the vector bi, then, then is the fun is a function of bi and everything else where is permutation invariant with respect to the last inputs. And these things are easy to implement using message passing neural networks because of like the way they're structured. I don't have any numerics to show you at this time, but I'm just going to tell you that the summary is that we provide a simple characterization of a word and functions that are based on ancient summation notation and classical invariant theory. And the goal is to design expressive graphic network architectures to address machine learning problems while avoiding the use of irreducible representations that are not always known how to implement. And we have a couple of open problems regarding incorporating multi scale information and design a subset of permutation invariance scalars that. So the scalars that we are using are not permutation invariant. If you remember in this, in this formulation that we have here but maybe we can also use some formation by and scalars are universally expressed. Thank you so much and I apologize if I went over.


All this month at Appalachian Wireless get the only truly water-resistant Android smartphone the Samsung Galaxy S7 for just $99.99 and get a second one free while supplies last. Service agreement is required. Better service? Bigger savings? That's today's Appalachian Wireless. For the past 35 years, Nancy Goss has shared the good news of Pike County with the readers of the Appalachian News Express, but she's calling it quits just a couple days shy of her 76th birthday. And those who have worked with her are already feeling the loss. Her shoes will never be filled. I don't care what anybody says, you're not going to feel that. Her experience, her time here, her community roots, she dug her heels in here and she has earned this part of this community. Nancy has told countless stories of weddings, funerals and accomplishments. And after 35 years of looking for stories to tell, she says giving it up won't be easy. I know I will never drive down a road or a street and not be looking for the yard and I won't meet people and not want to do a story. Writing the stories was only part of Nancy's job. Her true strength is how she got the people she interviewed to open up and share their stories. You have to be a good listener and you do have to ask a lot of questions.  Throughout the week, friends and former coworkers have stopped by to retell old stories and congratulate her on a successful career. And when I asked Nancy Goss how she would sum up the last 35 years, this was her answer. You made people for one day like a celebrity. There are people out there who talk to you and now they've got that paper hung up on the wall or in a scrapbook or something and you did that and that's pretty neat. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
