What should the president be saying right now, you know a decent human being would pick up the phone and say, are you okay? How's your family doing? That's what a decent human being does That's what Joe Biden did and I think it tells you everything you need to know about the character of the two people that are Vying to lead our country for the next four years. You said the president is complicit with the extremists well anyone who Give safe harbor to or encouragement to is complicit that he has said liberate Michigan And said I should negotiate with the very people who are arrested Because they're good people That incites more domestic tearing attorney general Do you believe president Trump's rhetoric like that liberate Michigan tweet is partly to blame to his partly responsible? I know it is all you have to do is look at the evidence in the case At where a lot of these individuals Who sought to do harm to the governor the 14 individuals six of them charged in federal court eight of them charged by my office? Many of them met at these same rallies that were in protest of her orders Welcome back. Thanks for watching normally I'd attempt some sort of humorous spin on this story, but it's all just too disturbing to laugh about here We have yet another example of the mass media and the FBI lying and deceiving the American people Apparently to improve Democrats chances in the 2020 election. There were already stories out there in 2020 Suggesting that the so-called Whitmer kidnapping plot was an FBI manufactured event It was already beginning to look like there wouldn't have even been a plot if not for the dozen or so FBI agents who Organized and planned it now We basically have confirmation of that fact as the trial ends and the government gets no convictions for their made-up kidnapped plot was apparently done to influence the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden and about the Michigan governor and the DNC media Attempting to tie Donald Trump to this fake plot. Here's one of the anarchist antifa ringleaders of the fake plot expressing his pure hatred for Donald Trump just last week the president of the United States stood before the American people and Refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two Michigan militia groups Trump is not your friend, dude and It's it's amazes me that people actually like believe that when he's shown over and over and over again That he's a tiring notice that anarchist flag in the background a popular antifa symbol So that was another lie they told over and over in the media in an attempt to manipulate the public just before the 2020 election Back to the fake Michigan plot You know who ran that operation a guy named Steven D'Antuano who was chief of the Detroit FBI It has now been promoted to can you take a wild guess? He was promoted to the head of the DC FBI field office just before January 6th Then tasked with overseeing the January 6th investigation Now that's interesting Especially since it also looks like that event had a little help from some FBI agents and the Capitol police This is not a conspiracy theory despite what the Democrat state media might tell you since we've always had video of the Capitol Police letting people in who by and large walked around peacefully then left We now have confirmation of this with a defendant who was charged with illegally entering the Capitol Having been acquitted of all charges based on the fact it was Capitol police that let him and many others in way too much About January 6th smells like not just the Michigan plot But lies that we've been hearing from the media and the government going back years Fitting a very specific partisan political pattern the media Hollywood and academia all spreading disinformation About Michael Brown's hands being up before he was shot which then led to riots It's not on purpose. I'm not trying to hurt you NBC News deceptively edits 9-1-1 audio of George Zimmerman Before the Trevon Martin shooting which then spreads to every institution leading to riots and Burying the truth that Trevon Martin was shot for attacking a man In fact you can go ahead and add just about all the police shootings to this list because nearly all of them ended up being Justified but leading to riots because the media withheld Inconvenient facts or just outright made-up myths like hands-up Don't shoot which by Brian Stelter's own standards is harmful disinformation Then we have all those false flag racist attacks like the coming to kids who were painted as the aggressors with Deceptively edited footage again, but who actually turned out to be the victims of two racist adult groups Go ahead and add all the other hate hoaxes that were so popular on college campuses and to washed up Hollywood stars Who knew how gullible and willing the corrupt media is to propagandize the country so that Democrats are good? Republicans bad then there's the Russian collusion hoax that was perpetrated by Democrats their media and elements of the government They lied about Rittenhouse who they baselessly claimed was a white supremacist murderer But who turned out to be a normal Hispanic kid who defended himself from violent left-wing criminals during a riot By the way that was incited by a media who lied about the justified Jacob Blake shooting the list just goes on The Biden laptop Epstein the FBI raiding journalist in order to protect Joe Biden So purpose I'm not trying to hurt you the point is despite all of these lies being exposed Over and over Utterly discrediting these people who claim to be our trustworthy gatekeepers of information They still continue lying right to our faces. They just dismissed their corruption as right-wing narratives and disinformation Yes calling them out on their own words is in itself a disinformation campaign in their warped mind one darkly humorous But inevitable Measurement of our success is that our disinformation conference has been the subject of disinformation campaigns on social media already So yeah Congratulate yourselves for that You just know that the ones who have enough self-awareness to know that they're full of shit If they even exist just tell themselves that they're saving democracy or they're saving the earth to justify it that kind of fanatical Delusion is leading to the unraveling that we're witnessing right now and I'll continue to be here exposing it You can support me in that mission by using one of the links in the description or pinned comment You can also support this channel by hitting that like button Sharing and then leaving a comment to let us all know what you think all of it helps this channel thrive. Thank you


Takeshi Onamata, an archaeologist for the National Institute of Statistics and Geography within Mexico, recently made an astonishing discovery in a most unlikely of ways. Before modern technologies, the only real way to investigate an ancient site was to visit the area and either excavate specific places of interest or simply observing said sites from the ground level. However, thanks to modern radar and lidar systems, the sites can now be scanned and then observed in depth from afar. However, to implement such technologies on a certain site of interest is incredibly expensive, something Takeshi knows all too well. After investing $62,000 on a lidar scan of an area a mere 35 miles in size, he unfortunately returned no new discoveries in the area. This initially disappointed Takeshi, but a few months later, after researching previous investigations in the area, he was incredibly excited when he came across a previous lidar scan, one originally made by Mexican official studies of the area. He found a treasure trove available for free online. Just in 2011, it covered an astonishing 4,440-mile square and covered the areas of Tabasco and Chiapas, in which Takeshi has since discovered an additional set of 27 ancient ruins, all previously hidden within this public access map. This not only expands our understanding of these claimed Mayan ruins, but also expands the breadth of this astonishing now lost civilization's reach, and indeed the original size of their mega metropolis, which covers many hundreds of miles square, and is now estimated to have once been inhabited by at least 10 million individuals. Takeshi learned about the map via Rodrigo Leendo, an archaeologist from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The ruins stood out to Inomata immediately, and now, thanks to his work, we have a number of once lost but now found ruins, all of which demand further exploration if we are ever to unravel the mysteries of our past. We can see a much better picture of the entire society, Takeshi told the media. The stuff he is finding is crucial for our understanding of how Mayan civilizations developed, added Arlen Chase, an archaeologist at Pomona College. We will keep you posted on any further developments regarding these new discoveries, especially any future excavations. It is a find, a lost civilization, and indeed an area of archaeological interest and intrigue, which we find highly compelling.

kama kima kaurau o tēnei rā monga tawira o te wananga nei. Ko horahi e te whāriki i te wehi i te mana i runga i te marae o te rā. Kake mai, haere mai rā. Spatial guests, graduands, families and friends. I extend a warm welcome to this, the fifth autumn graduation ceremony for 2012 of the University of Auckland. This week the university is bestowing a total of 7,048 qualifications on some 6,862 students. At this ceremony, degrees will be conferred and diplomas awarded in the Faculty of Science. A total of 415 in person plus a further 305 in absentia. As Chancellor, I am privileged to preside at graduation once more. The twice yearly cycle of graduation ceremonies makes them no less significant for the university and me personally than for those of you being capped here today, many for the first and only time. Graduation is always a festive event, rich in history, pomp and colour, but with some endearing contemporary touches. Here in Auckland, our enviable mix of cultures and ethnicities is evident in the variety of dress and adornments worn by some graduands. Today is one of celebration, hard earned and well deserved, by you the graduates and diplomats on your academic feats and by your family and friends who have encouraged and supported you in good times and in bad and who are here to rejoice in your success. The university, represented by the council and academic staff members seated behind me and those many professional staff who direct proceedings with unerring precision, takes equal satisfaction in your hugely significant day. The University of Auckland is deservedly ranked as one of the best universities in the world. The qualifications bestowed on you today will always serve you well in this country and abroad, when qualifying you for a fulfilling career or in leading to further challenging study or simply for your own personal and intellectual enrichment. In today's world of constant and often bewildering change, you can never afford to stop learning and honing your skills and capabilities. So do keep in mind our ever expanding range of postgraduate opportunities. The critically important role of major research-led universities in modern life is not always understood. Our cutting edge research is vital for long-term sustainable economic growth and social development, never more so than in these globally uncertain economic times. Universities such as ours are quick graduates like you, not simply for the jobs of today but for careers not yet imagined. The University of Auckland's aspirations for the period ahead and our responses to an increasingly constrained funding environment are comprehensive and demanding. They are taking shape in our draft strategic plan for 2013 to 2020. I encourage you to peruse this wide-ranging document on our website and let us have your feedback. I urge you as imminent alumni of New Zealand's leading university always to remember your alma mater. We depend increasingly on our graduates for support, moral and political as well as financial. This at a time when our country's universities receive the lowest income per student in the developed world. Your advocacy and influence are vital in encouraging government in the community at large to fund universities so they can generate the knowledge needed to drive a productive and competitive economy and to create full and satisfying lives for all New Zealanders. But that's enough for me on the challenges currently facing universities in New Zealand. For today is unquestionably your day. I warmly congratulate each and every one of you and trust that you were long, cherished memories of your graduation in May 2012. I'm now very pleased to introduce our speaker this afternoon, Professor Sir Peter Gluckman. He is a former dean of our Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, was the founding director of the Liggins Institute and is one of New Zealand's best-known scientists. Sir Peter's research has won him numerous awards in international recognition, including fellowship of the Commonwealth's most prestigious scientific organisation, the Royal Society London. He is the only New Zealander elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science in the USA and the Academy of Medical Sciences of Great Britain. In 2001 he received New Zealand's top science award, the Rutherford Medal. He was made a Knight of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to medicine. Three years ago he was appointed as the first chief science adviser to the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Sir Peter is an international advocate for science promoting the translation of discoveries in biomedical research into improvements in long-term health outcomes. He is the author of over 500 scientific papers and reviews and editor of eight books. Sir Peter. Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, members of the university, graduands and family, firstly congratulations to all of today's graduands and diplomats. You should be deservedly proud of having graduated from New Zealand's highest ranked university and from a faculty that has distinguished internationally for its outstanding scholarship, research and teaching. Congratulations. Sometimes I'm asked whether science graduates have a future in New Zealand. I would turn that around and ask, does New Zealand have a future without science graduates such as yourselves? Certainly it would not. There's no challenge that we face as a nation over coming decades that does not depend on science in reaching a solution. You'll be critical to our economic, our environmental, our social and our cultural development. And this does not just mean science in the laboratory or science in the formal sense. Science is a critical role to play in the public dialogue as we develop a national consensus on how best to manage our economic growth to meet the societal aspirations of all while at the same time protecting our fragile environment. To reach that consensus, we must we require a much more scientifically aware and literate population. Whether you develop your careers in science itself or use it as a stepping stone to another area of activity, your contribution to our society based on your experiences in this faculty and this university will be critical. So having graduated in science is perhaps worth reflecting on what is science. Science is not just a collection of facts. Rather, it is a particular way of understanding and observing the natural and built world so as to gain a better understanding of what it is. It's wrong to assume science is about certainty. For most of science, certainty is not possible. It's largely about reducing uncertainty. As the great noble laureate and immunologist, the late Sir Peter Mettawa once put it, science is a means by which we analyse the many things that might be true about the universe and pair them down to a few that are probably true. I emphasise this because of the great issues we face. For example, how is the planet going to deal with 40% more people? All expecting and deserving are higher standards of living. This can only mean more use of the planet's finite resources. Yet at the same time, there's also an increasing need to understand how to protect and conserve the fragile planet. There are also important issues that emerge as the very substrate of society moves from the physical to the virtual. The internet has created the problem of how to discern reliable from less reliable information and lead to a world smothered in information and polemic, leading to increasing confusion and indeed potentially loss of confidence in science as the key source of knowledge. But science, both formal and informal, remains the only process we have to gather information and understanding about our world on any scale and from any perspective. To reject this is to reject the very basis of logical assessment of the challenges we face. The one dimension of science that needs to be protected at all costs is the need for the collection and interpretation of data to be value free. Such freedom from bias, as I'm sure you have learnt already, is not easy. But science alone does not determine society. We thankfully do not live in a platonic society. Rather we live in a participatory democracy that is underpinned by values that determine our priorities and trade-offs. But equally, when values dominate in the absence of science, decisions can be made on belief and dogma, and that can do us harm too. It's finding the right interplay between knowledge and values that makes society what it is. Technologies are developing faster all the time and they're having far greater impact as they project so much more quickly. The challenge for society is to understand and accommodate these technologies at a pace commensurate with their development. Otherwise, some important technologies may be wrongly rejected and yet others may be misused or their harm misunderstood. Indeed, this conflict between the pace of development and understanding by society can manifest in unfortunate ways. For example, in anti-scientism, in a logical but understandable response to the pace of change. Inevitably, therefore, well-trained science graduates such as yourselves are critical to a modern participatory democracy. We want you to participate, indeed you must. We need you not to just use your hard-earned degree to follow your aspirations, but also to use your knowledge of the scientific process and the understandings of science to participate in helping society navigate the challenges ahead. Universities are special places. Their roles of critics and consciences of society is enshrined in law and tradition. Often this has been assumed to be the role of your colleagues in other faculties such as arts and law, but that obligation is equally so of you as science graduates. As graduates of this university, you are now members of this university's court of conversation. You remain as members of this university. In this new role, it is important that you play your role in protecting the contribution of scholarship and hand to this nation's development and participate, on the other hand, in the critical and public dialogue between knowledge and values that will be so essential as this society moves forward. Once again, congratulations to you all. On your behalf, can I thank Sir Peter for his wise and interesting observations as our chief scientist. This is a meeting of council and convocation of the university for a ceremony of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. At this ceremony, the pro-chancellor, Dr Ian Parton, and I will be conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. I invite the pro-chancellor to award diplomas and confer the degrees in the first half of this ceremony. Thank you, Chancellor. By the authority vested in me by resolution of the University of Auckland Council, I, Ian Parton, pro-chancellor, confer the degrees and award the diplomas stated upon those who, within their faculty, have satisfied the requirements of this university. I call upon an Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science, Mrs Goldstone, to present graduands in that faculty.

Thank you, Pro-Chancellor, for conferring the degrees and awarding the diplomas in the first half of this ceremony. One of the great pleasures of graduation is the opportunity to hear performances by students from our acclaimed School of Music. Yun Viji Oncello, accompanied by Kent Isamura on piano, will now perform Cantabile by Nicolo Paganini. Of course, it's a famous and much-loved piece of music, but one never tires of hearing it played when it's played so beautifully. Can I ask you to show your appreciation again to Yun Kent? Each year we have memorable performances such as the one you've just heard by students from our School of Music here at graduation. All graduands and families who would like to hear further performances of that calibre are invited to the graduation concert this Saturday in the Town Hall. By the authority vested in me by Resolution of the University of Auckland Council, I, Roger Franz Chancellor, award the diplomas and confer the degrees stated upon those who within the Faculty of Science have satisfied the requirements of this university.

Chancellor, I have the honour of presenting to you the doctoral graduands. To the degree of Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Hamish Douglas Mackenzie Bartle, University Doctoral Scholar. Hamish investigated the motives and supports for resistance from further offending in men who had received treatment related to sexual offending against children with a view to improving rehabilitation efforts. Elizabeth Clark, University Doctoral Scholar. Annabelle developed and trialled a new education-based intervention to reduce fatigue after stroke, with a view to determining if participants would accept the intervention and if it was likely to be of clinical benefit. Alexandra Louise Haynes, University Doctoral Scholar. Alex investigated the effectiveness of brief mindfulness training for socially anxious adults. Her findings support the use of mindfulness training in psychological treatments for social anxiety. Paula Julia Ioane. Julia investigated the social demographic, educational characteristics and defending behaviour of Pacific Island youths who offend violently and compared them with those of Māori and Pālangi violent youth offenders. This research is likely to provide us with a greater understanding of this challenging demographic and inform the way that we work with Pacific Island youth and their families. Aloftina Kulakova, University Doctoral Scholar. Tina investigated recognition memory and electrophysiological processes linked with memory formation and healthy elder adults, with a view to developing a protocol capable of identifying the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. Penny Jane Mansell, University Doctoral Scholar. Penny investigated young adult step-children's experiences of relationships with step-mothers. She aimed to gain the perspective of step-children on those experiences that contributed to a positive step-mother-step-child relationship and those experiences that were difficult and hindered the development of the relationship. She also examined the relationship in terms of its development over time. Sarah Jane McNeill, University Doctoral Scholar. Sarah examined the central role attachment and security plays in exacerbating reactions to stressful life events such as symptoms of depression. Her research has important implications for understanding and counteracting people's vulnerabilities to depression when facing daily stress and more substantial life difficulties. Casey Alexandra Mendiola. Casey examined the impact on Māori whānau of their children's deliberate self-harm, their beliefs about the reasons for such acts and their treatment needs, with a view to enhancing treatment for such families within mental health services.

Matt investigated the design of a computerised cognitive behavioural therapy programme, SPARX, and evaluated its effectiveness for Māori adolescents by conducting focus groups in a small pilot study. He also analysed the Māori participant data from a large, randomized control trial. The findings indicate that CCBT can be equally effective as the treatment Māori young people currently receive for treatment of mild to moderate depression. Julia Maria Somerville, University Doctoral Scholar. Julia focused on how a nationwide youth development programme selects participants, and in particular how decisions are made to exclude potential participants with specified risk behaviours. She also looked at opportunities for supporting young people who are currently excluded. To the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Suzanne Jennifer Ackerly in Sport and Exercise Science. Suzanne explored novel methods for promoting brain plasticity and motor learning after stroke. Her findings were recognised by the American Heart and Stroke Association as one of the top 25 advances in brain recovery and rehabilitation in 2010. Hedi Afe Memonga in Operations Research. Hedi studied the effects a simple model balancing of the costs of private versus public transportation. Eumerical results showed that giving individuals information about the current state of the system may sometimes lead to considerable improvements in performance and reduced delays. Rachel Vanita Blagojevic in Computer Science. University Doctoral Scholar. Bright Future Top Achiever Doctoral Scholar. Rachel investigated the use of data mining techniques for construction of digital ink recognisers. She developed new recognisers which could accurately discriminate between drawing and writing ink. Rachel. Lindley Valmay Bradnam in Sport and Exercise Science. Lindley showed that non-invasive brain stimulation techniques of the non-invasive brain stimulation techniques of the non-stroke hemisphere could be used to improve control of the affected arm in patients with mild impairment after stroke. Based on her novel model of upper limb control after stroke she hypothesised and demonstrated that the same technique may degrade control of the peretic arm in patients with more severe impairment reminding us that brain stimulation is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Jonathan Francis Briggs in Statistics, University Doctoral Scholar. Jonathan developed statistical methods for estimating the uncertainty and predictions from large spatial models like weather forecasting and climate models. Emma Louise Carroll in Biological Sciences. Emma used genetic monitoring to investigate the recovery and population structure of the New Zealand Southern Right Whale. This work showed that the New Zealand population is distinct to the Australian populations and that whales from the remnant carving grounds near the Auckland Islands are slowly recolonising former carving grounds around mainland New Zealand. Jason Kevin Gurney in Sport and Exercise Science. Jason investigated the effect of a low impact balance and lower limb strength training intervention on the sensory and motor complications of peripheral nerve damage in patients with diabetes. He found that increased sensory function was possible with low impact training without the increased risk of plantar ulceration due to the repetitive tissue loading found in aerobic exercise training. Emily Page Harvey in Mathematics, University Doctoral Scholar Bright Future Top Achieva Doctoral Scholar. Emily investigated the mechanisms underlying oscillations of calcium in mathematical models of various cell types. These oscillations are known to active signals in almost all cell types and an understanding of the mechanisms controlling the oscillations is of fundamental importance in cell physiology. Kristen Marie Henty in Biological Sciences, University Doctoral Scholar. Kristen investigated the mechanism of action of neuroglobin and showed how this brain-associated protein could intervene in the process of programmed cell death which is associated with stroke, Alzheimer's disease and some forms of blindness. Kristen's results have allowed the rational design of a number of potential drug treatments for these common, lethal and debilitating conditions. Christian Jochim Hirsch in Computer Science. Christian explored the concept of the visual wiki which combines the notions of textual and visual representations of information either of which may be editable in a collaborative way. He designed and implemented four example visual wiki applications which he then generalised into a visual wiki metatool that permits rapid specification and implementation of visual wiki applications and which is currently under commercial development and in absentia all those other persons named in the Book of Convocation qualified for the confirmant of a degree or the award of a diploma. On behalf of the university I now invite all today's graduates to stand and receive the congratulations of us all. This would be an ideal opportunity for the graduates to show their appreciation of their families and supporters and the staff of the university who have helped them as they achieve their qualifications. This concludes this meeting of council and Convocation of the university for the confirmant of degrees with diplomas. I now invite you to sing the first verse of God Defend New Zealand in Māori and then in English. The words are printed on the reverse of your programmes.


So now I'm going to show you how the basic concept of the basic flow of creating a neural network So we'll be showing using the tool called Keras in Python We won't be capturing any data today. We'll just be downloading data from the internet and Then feed it through a neural network classific classifier for the training and then Bartos will then show you how to convert this to STM32 code So we'll get the data Do some preparing some framing on it? Pre-process the data to prepare some features so then be fed to the neural network training and Then we'll build convolutional neural network classifier train it using the data that we've prepared and Evaluate it against data that we've set aside So we have a data set that will be split into three different subsets where the first Part is going to be used only for the training to improve the model and then we have test data set that's it's like a New information that's unknown to the model during training and it's used to evaluate How it behaves? It's just like when you're at school You've given new questions. It's an exam that you haven't seen before So the full pipeline for a audio scene classification is you have your input signal in a time domain That's converted to Frequency domain and then further to the male domain using the log mail pre-processing. This is called the feature extraction those features are then scaled and Fed to the convolutional neural network where we get an output confidence of each class This is called the softmax layer typically found in classifiers The data set will be using so we're not going to be doing it live I'm just going to reference the code for you and I highly encourage you to go and look at the Code and try it yourself The data set is very large. It can take up to tens of gigabytes on your hard drive. So you need a good machine It was originally found in the TUT acoustic scene 2016 data set. This was a competition and attendees were given a task of classifying the sounds It had 15 different classes. So for our example We narrowed it down to only three classes. So like the classes such as bus car and train We're all merged into one class called in vehicle The signal was down sampled from 44 kilohertz to 16 kilohertz This is the frequent the sampling frequency that we'll be using with our microphones and from stereo to mono The Python code to download the data set is just load data into the development data set with the inputs and ground truth or expected outputs for development and evaluation Then we want to frame this This input signal. So the originally they came at 30 second long input Recording and we want to cut them down to one second long clips. So we get even more data we have For example, 11 1170 sample for one case For the future extraction, we're taking this one second long signal that we're further cutting down into overlapping frames apply the hand window on it FFT melted filter bank application and then we create each column that we lay side by side Then we finally apply some log scaling to it to get our 30 by 32 representation of the input sound The mail filter bank is just we take the energy and each filter sum them up and apply a log scaling to it at the end Here's the code to Work on all the input features. So we just have what's important here is the function called feature extraction it's going to call a sub module and the other code around it is just to Get the correct number of files and so on Next we want to prepare the output data. So the what we call ground truth To convert it to the one hot and coding expected by Keras. So this is Each output will be equal to the expected output of the neural network. So the confidence level of each class so here for example In an ideal world, we would expect to have a confidence level of a 100% for outdoor Here 100% for in vehicle matching the input feature in number three Before we feed our what we call the spectrograms the input features to the neural network We want to standardize them to normalize them using the standard scalar from SK learn So this will have a zero mean and a unit variance of one So all the values will be in between minus one and one if we're going into the neural network The data set split as I mentioned earlier. We want to split our data set between training sample validation sample and test samples The training and validation sample will be used during the training. We'll compare We'll use the training data set to feed the neural network So this is just like the exercise that you're doing during a class So the lesson validation sample is let's say the exercise that you're in the class and the test is the final exam So simple analogy for the neural network that will be building It has two convolutional layers and two dense layers or fully connected And can see that the input shape matches the dimension of our input features of 30 by 32 matrix and the output shape The dimension of three matches the number of classes that we want to classify We have Intermediate activation functions value This is to transform the inputs into outputs for each neuron So from the values whatever it has been calculated to zero from zero to one and then the softmax activation function is to pull the winner apart without really destroying the information of the other Confidence levels During the training the training happens in different steps. So initially the Coefficients the weights of the neural network are initialized to random values and we will have a very high a very poor accuracy So then we say oh it didn't it wasn't trained properly So it's going to adjust those coefficients to become better and better and learn This is where you do the learning on a powerful computer like a GPU or in the cloud and you're creating your model and it could last from let's say 30 minutes to several days and so on and At the end here, for example, we've reached an accuracy of 99 percent against the validation data set Then if we give it the test data set, so this is unknown data. It hasn't seen before We'd get an accuracy of 89 percent Another way of looking at how well our model is behaving is to look at something what we call the confusion matrix Where we can see the confidence the accuracy per class So what we can see here is that the indoor and outdoor classes are not as well recognized as the in-vehicle class But we still have a pretty Actually very high accuracy here Finally all of this is done usually by your data scientist and then given to your firmware developer So the data scientists should provide you with a model the h5 and some test data the model that h5 is like exporting the model the pre-trained model to Universal standard file which contains the model topology the number of layers number of filters and kernel size and The weights and the biases so this is the file that will be used in xQba i to map it to your code to your microcontroller Then we can export the data set so the test data set for example and to simple csv file for further validation on the target So here's a link to the Python code that you can go online and run this code yourself


In the last couple videos I looked at the idea of human domestication, the idea that modern humans can be considered somehow tame and domesticated compared to our wild ancestors. Now it's quite a different way of looking at things than the typical, more positive and congratulatory view of evolution that mainly we became smarter and you know the main feature of human evolution the most interesting thing is that we became smarter and clearly that has to be part of it because you know we are doing things as modern humans that no other animal that we know of can even come close to so you know we're definitely applying some brain power but then you think that domesticated creatures have smaller brains they tend to be more docile and passive and all these features that in some ways you know it's it's not so self congratulatory it's not so pleasant to imagine I mean if I think that comparing myself to a Neanderthal is like comparing a Chihuahua to a wild grey wolf and you know of course I just picked Chihuahua it could be any one of the dog breeds Chihuahua isn't especially small and seemingly you know very makes a bigger contrast with the wild wolf but any of these modern pet dog breeds I mean I guess the best thing what makes them good as pets is you know they're they're friendly and cute they're docile tame they follow orders they do what they're told they most of them don't freak out and start biting most of the time so you know that's what makes a good pet dog it's not what makes a good wolf good wolf has those skills of aggression and the ability to hunt and survive in the wild so the entire paradigm the entire system the situation of what makes a good domestic animal is totally different greatly changed from a wild animal and you know when I look at it that way I don't really like it because you know who would want to be a pet I mean like what is a domesticated animal you're either going to be a pet so you're kept around because you're cute and friendly or you're going to be livestock and you're kept around because you or something you produce is somehow tasty or useful for your owners and so the idea of being that kind of creature there's something that feels unsettling about that I mean there's some part of us I think that and I know I'm not the only one that that there's something attractive about being a wild and free creature there's something that is good about that the sense of freedom self-reliance the idea that I can be the master of my own destiny of course we're all at the mercy of fate and the one we're a small part of the wide universe but at least not directly serving a master at least not directly being owned you know and used as a pet or a livestock creature and so the idea that we have become and we have evolved along lines that in many ways have a lot of similarities with domestic pets and livestock leaves me a little bit uncomfortable so I mean I wonder about this and I would like to hear your feedback about this what do you think about this do you think there's any truth to it at all and what do you think about this idea is it okay to go with that and kind of be tame celebrate the advantages of being tame or do we need to somehow fight back and rewild ourselves I think maybe it might be a mix because you know being tame is not entirely bad being able to be more cooperative and the reduced aggression helps us to be able to actually do things other than club each other over the skull and so we can actually get a lot of things done and also not have our skulls clubbed as frequently so that's great and you know but on the other hand there's so many conditions and neuroses that that develop when an animal is domesticated like there's something off about it like I talked about in the first video with the zoo and you see those creatures in the zoo that there's just something off about them they're not they're something's not right that they're not able to really be themselves but then that would be a wild animal in the zoo and you could say well you know after generations maybe the neanderthals and maybe our far away ape ancestors they were wild so they were like the wild wolf but maybe we are more like a chihuahua are we more like a domestic animal and so we should just live like that so I would love to hear your thoughts on this bottomless topic


Hey, hello, everyone! It is time for Show and Tell here on Adafruit. I'm John Park, your guest host tonight, and I'm really excited for the show that we have coming up. It is going to be hot, and partly that is because it is 106 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now here in Southern California.  All right, enough of that. I'm going to drink some cold water and bring on our first guest, which is DigiKeys. Kevin, hey Kevin, how's it going? Did you almost say digifruit? I kind of did. I like the ring. That sounds great. The heat is getting to me already. What's new? So I just got back from Silicon, which was fantastic. It was absolutely incredible, and we did a few things there. We did a workshop where we created an Ironman arc reactor based off the Circular Polygraph Express, and that was a lot of fun. And then we actually created where all of the DigiKeys employees wore this arc reactor. It might glow a little bit, but I have this connected to my phone, so it's connected over a blue fruit, the Blue Fruit Connect app, and then I can change the different colors, and I even have it connected with a Bluetooth device. I don't know if you heard the speaker, but yeah. So if I push one of these buttons, it'll change the settings on the device, and then it will play some cool little Ironman sayings that it was just kind of fun. Yeah, you have the speaker on your hip and then play some cool things. Neato. And what's the case? It looks like you've, is that actually wire wrapped, or is it? Yeah, it is actually magnet wire wrapped. I did that just to make it look pretty realistic-ish. That's excellent. And I know the lighting, it's hard to see it. You know, cameras watch everything out. But basically, the workshop of this, what was that? Was this a workshop people could do? So the workshop one was a little different. It was a little more simplistic just because to do this one would have taken a few hours in a workshop, but I think I might do that next year just because it was, people were so interested in this device. So this device is using the Blue Fruit Circle Playground, and then I also have another Neopixel ring around the outside just to add two different dimensions. And it just looks so cool. I mean, people really enjoyed it, and I enjoyed making it. Excellent. Oh, it's really cool. And for people to know, what's silicon? So silicon is, it was the Silicon Valley's Comic Con. That's what they call it. It was Silicon with Adam Savage. And there was an entire makerverse, and they called the Adam Savage Makerverse right in the middle of the whole thing. And basically, we donated a bunch of items, and other companies donated things, and people could just sit down and make stuff. That's great. That was so awesome watching. Adam Savage said it perfect. After the first day, he goes, I have never been so excited to see such a mess because people were just creating really cool things. And there were some amazing costumes and creations. Some of these people that make droids from Star Wars, and one guy made Wally that was just unbelievable. We had just such a good time talking to these people, these makers, and how can we get more products like Adifer products and Digikey products into these devices? And we had a whole bunch of the Circle Playground Expresses that we're just giving away to people when they came to the booth and were talking to us. And the amount of functionality in one of those devices is unbelievable. You guys know what it is. You can program it with Matecode, Circuit Python, Arduino. It's just unbelievable. Yeah, it's an excellent entry for Cosplay types of people. It's got the accelerometer and the light sensor and temperature sensor. Everything's built into one device, so it was great. That's so much fun. Well, I hope to make it there next year. It sounds like it was a great time. Yeah, you should. I think you would really enjoy it. It was a good time. Thanks so much. Take care Kevin. Take care. All right, next up we've got Michael. Hey Michael, how's it going? Hello. So what do you got to show us this evening? Okay, so I've come on to talk about the Pi 5 ASIC project that I've been working on for the last year and a half or so. A small team community-organized project. The goal of the project is to bring on our design of a chip based on risk 5 that's going to run Circuit Python. So this chip right here in the middle is a custom silicon that was made specifically for the project. Skywater and Google and eFabulous put together an open PDK, which is a process design kit. So what that means is people can design chips without having to pay or sign any NDAs or anything. You can just download the tools and go and you can make your own chips, which has been heard of as a new thing. Really awesome. And as soon as I saw that, I guess it was 2020 early, I jumped on it and I went to Twitter. It was like, guess everybody, I want to do this. I want to make something. Who wants to be on my team? And eventually, I nerds tonight a few community members. So the biggest collaborator so far and pretty much the workhorse of the project is Sylvain Monant, which is TNT, is his handle. He's a hacker extraordinaire, real big name in the community. And he stepped up and he hardened his IP for USB, which used to be a specific requirement of Circuit Python. And we took that from Bearlog to GDS, which is the format that you use to give the chip factory the specifications for your chip. It's like the Gerbers for chips. And yeah, it was a battle with the tools and the open PDK and a lot of different things. But yeah, the project eventually was taped out, one of the first 40 chips that were taped out for free on the shuttle. Yeah, and then we found out not too long after that, that when we got the chips delivered, they weren't functional, or they weren't supposed to be functional. So there was a whole time violation in the timing. And that means usually like the death of chips. Whole times are really difficult to fix, post silicon. But we created this carrier board here. Anyways, I help do the layout for the board that's here, which is the breakout board for the chip. And then I designed this board, which breaks it out even further. And then on this side over here, we attached an FPGA. And then emulated the serial flash through the FPGA so that we could run a handful of instructions on this guy while being able to change the core voltages or the voltages of the chip and sweep them along and try to get it to come into time enclosure. And there was some chips you could actually sweep the voltage and find closure enough to run programs off of the emulated spy flash. So we actually had a TNT went on and did a fairly long stream about how we went through that process. And we're going to have to cut it for time. But if people want to find out more about the project, and certainly we'd love to have you come on and show more in the future, where should they go to find out more? Yeah, so we're doing like a crowdfunding effort to try to help pay for the development. And you can go to groupkits.com slash campaigns slash 1038-Pi5-ASIC. It's kind of a mouthful. But I think even just searching Pi5-ASIC will get people close. Yeah, yeah. And there was a whole lot that happened. And there's a narrative here on the page that tells kind of all of the story from where we were into, you know, more recently. MPW7 is coming out or is landing soon. Then they got to, you know, send it off to Fab. Tiny Tape Out was the big thing, this one. And I hope to see, you know, that come through as well. Yeah, thanks for bringing this on, Michael. And keep us updated. We'd love to see more. And I think you have some other projects too that we want to see maybe even next week. We can come by. Yeah. Thanks so much. All right. Custom Silicon. This is wild. Beyond PCPs. It's incredible. Let's see. Next up, we have Noah and Pedro coming on. And no, we have Noah. We have no Pedro. Hey, Noah. Pedro's walking the dog. Yeah, we're good for you. Yeah, he's got, he's got, we alternate some of the things. Excellent. So, so this week's project is a 3D pretty case. We got a little Raspberry Pi. Well, not a little, but we got a Raspberry Pi in this little, man, I keep saying the word little, maybe it is a little, it's small. Yeah. Yeah. So the idea here is to use an SSD drive and external SSD and have that be a bootable drive so that we can run it off the USB port. So we got one of these SATA 2 USB 3 cables. So we're getting some really good speeds, reads in, I want to say feeds and speeds. That's C and C's talk. So, bear with me. But we got a lot of cool features. We got some GIFs running on this, this TFT. So it's a 1.9 is TFT. It's using the Blinker wrapper. So you can use CircuitPython libraries when you're using a Raspberry Pi. I got some hardware buttons up here. So you can change these out and you can switch these. Oh, nice. So we got these GIFs. And you're also running HDMI over to that monitor. Hey, look, there's a, there's Doom guy. Yeah, I am running HDMI. So it's just all the basic ports here. So you got HDMI, USB-C for power, you got an auto jack and other things there. But really, that's kind of it doing there. Yeah. So I have the HDMI display here and we're using Plex, which is some software that you can install over the Chromium browser. And you can run it in kiosk mode. Yeah. So you can do a live stream TV. You can play all your videos that you have on the SSD drive.  But it can tie into Netflix and Hulu and other services. Some other fun things you can do with the display. I was playing Doom guy. We can do some some actual useful stuff. Let's see here. So this is the CPU temperature, the IP address, and some memory and disk usage. You can see it's kind of hot there. Let's see. What is 66C to F? It is 150. It's a little bit hotter in the pie than it is over there. But I also have this fan, which I might not put tomorrow. But hey, it's not bad. And as far as SSD over USB 3, is that comparable to running the operating system off of an SD card? Is it way, way faster? What's the trade-offs? Or is it just an improvement over the typical? Because you're running, you're booting right off of that SSD, right? Right. Yeah. I think there's some actual data that you could look at that Tom's hardware has. That's actually the guide that I followed for making it a bootable drive. But yeah, in their testing, they show that it was pretty good. It was a better, better performance than just running it off the SSD. But I still have the SSD back there. So if you want to access that, you can put a little SD extender there. So you kind of have access to it. Did I mention the capable handle? You got to have a handle. The handle is adorable. It's so cute. And there's a guide out for this already. Yeah, people can go check that out. Yeah, it's published up there. We've got files up there. And there's some code on our learn repo. So folks want to use the code there for the display. They can do that. But yeah, all the wiring and files are up there on the learn guide. So folks better raise your hand. Thank you. And what's, go ahead. Gonna cut us off just because we're running a little low on time. We have quite a few other people. But thanks so much for bringing that on. Yeah, of course. And appreciate it. All right. See how to know it. All right, next up we have Liz. Hey, Liz. How's it going? Good. How you doing? Good. Oh, good. So this week, I did a project with Arduino and Unity. So what's happening just really quick is it's sending nine DoF sensor, which is accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope data over serial to Unity. And then that data is tied to this 3D object, this bunny. So the bunny is moving around in unison with the sensor in space. And I actually went through and calibrated the nine DoF sensor. So there's stored calibration data on the board. And we have a guide for that. And that calibrated Euler stuff is what's getting sent to Unity, which is actually the kind of rotation measurements that Unity expects. So there is a guide on this if folks want to check it out. Super cool. And sorry, the board you're running in there is what's the? So I put it on a couple different boards. Right now I'm using the Metro Mini V2, but I also have a mounting plate for the Metro M4. And it can run on a feather or a QT Pi 2, since it's a Arduino. So an M0 or an M4 processor works best, but the 328 can do the smallest calibration model. That's excellent. And yeah, you said there's a guide out for people who want to learn more and grab a teapot instead of a bunny or whatever they want to throw into Unity. Exactly. Robots, cats, the options are limited really. That's great. Really nicely done. Thanks so much for sharing that, Liz. Thank you. Have a good one. Thank you. All right. Very cool. Let's see. Next up, we've got maker Melissa. So I have a couple of these TFTs combined here. And if you want to go ahead and share my screen, I basically have been working on this for like the last month or so. And I'm at code.circuitpython.org. So one of the cool things I'm doing is I'm trying to make it so you can kind of work without it necessarily being connected. So I'm going to just type a quick document here. Let's say this is my little script. And then something like I don't want to lose this. And let's say, oh, I'm not connected to the board. So I want to connect. And I go ahead and I choose the connection I want for this one. I'm going to show you Wi-Fi. And the way that the web workflow works is it has to be hosted on the device itself. So I go ahead and click here. And it goes and transfers. And it goes and transfer my document onto there. And it has changed the URL to the device itself. And then I also have device discovery working here. So you can see what you have currently here plus any other devices. So if I wanted to switch over to this when I click it and it will also transfer my file there too. And I haven't even saved it yet. That's fantastic. Thanks. So I'm going to work on a guide on this probably this next week. Amazing. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that guide. I can't wait to try this out. The web workflow stuff is kind of mind blowing. So thanks for all the hard work you're putting into it. Very cool. Thanks, Melissa. Thanks. All right. Next up we've got Jepler. Hi there. So I forget if I mentioned this on show and tell but I have a friend who is moving away and he has given me a bunch of cool stuff. And so I was looking at this keyboard that he gave me. Pardon my dust. It's been stored in the basement for a long time. And I thought, oh cool. A Commodore 64 keyboard. And then I looked a little closer and I'm like, what is with these keys? So this is actually a Commodore 16 keyboard. I don't know if you remember that one. It was a little me. It was a little later on. And then in the meeting just earlier that we were having less than an hour ago, I said, well, why don't I make this keyboard working? So I can't quite get the keyboard here. Here we go. Got it hooked up to a keyboard with RP2040. And now if you want to bring up my screen share. Wow. And you like just just in the space of since we're in our meeting earlier, I wired it up. And I didn't expect that I would be able to show you that. But yeah, so now I've just got to map out the keys and I'll be able to use this classic keyboard like on a modern computer through USB.  How about that? Oh, that's really cool. You know what I would love to know is if you have any tips, maybe you could write up a little something somewhere about figuring out that matrix going from, Hey, I have this thing. I need to figure out how to plug it in and sort of or map out the topology of the matrix. Yeah. So it's got like 20 pins here. And there's actually one that's wrong. Don't tell anybody I was trying to hide that live on the show. There's one that's wrong. But yeah, you got to figure out the rows in the columns and just noodle with it until it's right. That's about it. That takes me hours. I've done it. Yeah, for sure. Nicely done. Oh, thanks so much for bringing that on. That's really impressive. Thank you.  Yeah, if we had more time, I'd show you another thing with an LED, but one more is going to talk about there during Ask an Engineer. So that's cool too. Thanks, Jeff. Okay, let's see. Next up, we have Pit Your Dragon. Gosh, hi there. I'm in the dark here. That's on purpose. I wanted to mention I was at Silicon, had a great time. The genius thing with that maker verse right in the middle of it is it was one of the few places you could go to sit down. And so it's like, hey, there's stuff right in front of me, you know, when you're kind of relaxing and you get to make things while you're there. That's smart. That was clever. Yeah. Anyway, so I did that LED cube project a little while back, you know, reacted to gravity or whatever. And there was this really hard math problem I had to solve. But once it was solved, it's like I should be able to apply this to other shapes or whatever. So this is just an ugly prototype, but I made like a rainstick type of thing. Oh, yeah. So great. We'll see, maybe I'll turn this into a project guide or not. I don't know. But I need to at least prototype the idea to see if it was at least kind of fun to play with. Yeah. So tell me a little bit about it as far as what's driving it with all these LEDs from a microcontroller standpoint or a pie standpoint. Yeah, I'm using a ESP32 feather, the S3. No reason other than that's just what was right in front of me on the desk. But it could work, you know, any of the 32-bit microcontrollers would have enough sauce to do this sort of thing. And I happen to use the Neopixel 8 feather wings. It's like, oh, this looks like it's going to be a lot of pixels. And it turned out, no, it's like fast enough. I could have just done it as one big long noodle of LEDs. And if I make a bigger high resolution version, then I might want to do the Neopixel 8 thing. But if the final thing was just this resolution, it's like one long strand. Right. Right. And then tell us about the incredible DSP or other digital technologies you're using to recreate that perfect sound of a rain stick. The audio, right? So this is super technical. So I might lose you here. But I was thinking about like mathematically how you would do that. And someone on Twitter actually gave me the answer. And it's just, just stick a inside there. That was the quick solution. That's the way the code version later. Needed something for the demo. Works great. I love it. So we're looking forward. Yeah, we're looking forward to seeing progress on that. And as you refine it or do a guide on it, that'd be really cool. Yeah. If it turns out to be something fun, I'll turn this into a fun form factor for the type of sand type of demo you've done. Yeah. People love particles, myself included. That's really cool. Thanks, Bill. All right. Thank you. All right. Let's see. Next up, we've got Todd Bott here. And hello. Yeah. So I saw this really cool post on the ESP32 subreddit where this guy made this really long neopixel display. And each strip of the LEDs was a MIDI note, basically. So this is my afternoon recreating this. And hopefully you can hear the audio. And so if you turn on the arpeggiator, it becomes very fun. Beautiful. Oh, wait. I forgot the diffuser. Yeah. There we go. Gotta have the diffuser so it doesn't blow it out. So you were sending MIDI out to us somewhere, and you're sending MIDI to your Pico? Is that right? Correct. Yeah. This is a USB device. This is a USB device. It's a Pico. We're running CircuitPython. And then there's Ableton Live off-camera that's running. This is basically acting as a MIDI router and playing the synthesizer sound so you can... Or just... Yeah. That's it. I'll post the link to the code on the Discord. Love that. And that should scale up to all kinds of different LED setup people have with grids and... Totally. Yeah, yeah. Really fun. Yeah. All right. So... And Todd will post the link up there. Thanks, Todd. Cheers. See ya. All right. Next up, speaking of synths, we have Mouse. Hi. Okay. So I've been working on this module since for a while. I showed it off parts of it before. Yeah. If we follow the flying wires here, I have a prototype I'm working on for a digital FM synth module. And that's a Feather RP-24U with a digital analog converter chip and a dual off-amp chip. And it's all hooked up.  It's got a wonky setup here. So I don't know if it'll care, but let's see. That comes through at all. Nice. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it's... I wrote a bunch of firmware in C++ for the Feather and got it doing some FM synthesis. It's a long way from being done, but so far so good. That's great. So you're doing... Did you say it was a two operator FM? It is two operator. It sounds kind of... Sounds kind of bad, and that's how you know it's FM. It's hard to tame. That's how you know it's FM. Yeah. I used a fixed frequency modulation, so it would be very clear it was FM. But yeah. I mean, I hope to get a single voice with six operator DX7 style. I'm not quite sure that I can... Well, I did some benchmarks. I think the Feather can handle it. We'll see. Wow. Yeah. That would be really cool. Thanks so much for bringing that on. Really impressive work. I love it. We'll see you when you've added more operators to that, I hope. Yep. Indeed. Anytime we have some Adafruit. Oh, by the way, thanks, Adafruit, for your rack to oscilloscope adapter cables. Oh, yes. That's really helpful. I use them as well. I think we got them originally in at the request of some accessibility people to do like a circuit playground, which has the big pads. Accessibility switches, which happen to use mono 3.5 millimeter as a bit of a standard for connecting buttons and switches and things. So that was their original intent, but they're super useful if you have to go from your rack to... I also bought some step switches because they're old school synth stuff. Ah, yeah. And it's the glue to match my modules. I got some of that. Excellent. Well, thanks so much, Mouse. Okay, bye. Bye. All right. And I think last up we have Anne, who can bring us home. Hey, Anne. Hi. I had the opportunity to participate in a NASA program called NASA Social. They invited me to Kennedy Space Center this weekend to get some briefings and watch a launch. And hopefully I can show some pictures real quick if you share the screen. And so we got some briefings from astronauts. We got to see the countdown clock and there's a SpaceX right there. And yours truly got... Yeah, that's a great photo. And we got the vehicle assembly building, iconic, where they build Apollo and Shuttle and now Artemis. And so they actually let us go in. And it's huge. It's beautiful. They make rockets.  So after that, we got to talk to the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, former Senator Nelson, and he gave us the scoop on things. And then we got to look at Artemis One itself. So they drove us a lot closer and we got some good pictures. And, you know, we were hoping for the launch. And on the way back, we saw the crawler transporter, the biggest vehicle in the world that's self-powered. It gets a whole 34 feet to the gallon of diesel. So it is beautiful. It is huge. It can carry 18 million pounds worth of rocket and tower and everything.  And finally, if I can do this, let's see. Little spinny action here. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah. So great slideshow. That was really fun. So if you want to possibly do this kind of stuff with NASA, Google NASA Social, or Twitter at NASA Social, and I highly recommend it. Way cool. Thank you so much for sharing that. That was super special. Thank you, Anne. All right. And that brings us right to five o'clock. So it is time for Ask an Engineer. Stick around for that on all of your usual Adafruit channels. Thanks, everyone. I'm John Parke from Adafruit Industries. This has been Show and Tell. See you next time. Bye-bye.


Yankees down one run in the bottom of the eighth inning. This one is brought to you by Roman, bottom eighth, one, two count to Judge, and that pitch is called strike three. Judge doesn't like it. But what are we doing? Boone doesn't like it. This is a big storyline for Judge and the Yankees. Most calls out of the zone this season, most since he debuted or really came in reserve every day player in 2017. That one's borderline kind of at that front knee, but yeah, they're sick of these calls going against Judge and Boone's going to let him know.  He's laughing.  Takes his gum out, decides on it, puts it back in. He's going to keep chewing that. Next pitch is to Rizzo and same thing. Says, just keep calling it. Hey, let's just continue this. Yeah, that's fun. He's like, he was laughing at me? Vasquez was laughing at me? What? Boone blows a bubble and then, oh wow, sexy as all, get out.  Getting set, they're getting set, comes to stiff. Still, throw it in there kid, let me hit it. That's low, call to strike. Carp's like, nah, nah, no way. It's not too late. It's not too late. You're out of here. It's not too late. So he's telling him it's not too late to make the adjustment, change his zone, start calling those strikes. The game is still going. It's not too late. It's not too late.  Rizzo's is a ball. The low pitch on judge is a ball.   Really throwing Vasquez under the bus, he's standing right there like, hey, be cool, Booney. Be cool. He doesn't know I was laughing at him. Okay, it's not too late. Really letting him know.  Come on, Booney. Come on, nothing.  There's a whole lot of game left. There's time to get better. Come on.   What's the buffer zone, you ask? Well, the MLB umpires have a two inch buffer zone on either sides of the plate up and down where they don't get penalized for getting calls wrong in those areas. Umpire says, all right, now let's go, okay? It's not too late. It's not too late. It's not too late. That's all I'm saying. I promise you, those are down, okay?   It's not too late. That kid's asleep. Too late for that kid to be out of the game. And Booney, oh, he's chucking his gum. Finally finished it. Thought about it earlier. Umpire takes a peek. He wants to see a gum throw. Who doesn't? Turns to the catcher. He's like, hey man, were you laughing at me?  Yeah, I knew it. Boone, he's not laughing at me. If you wanna make sure people aren't laughing at you for prematurely ejaculating, you gotta go to getroman.com slash Johnboy and get yourself some Roman swipes. It's not too late. They're clinically proven to help you in bed. Getroman.com slash Johnboy, it's not too late.
