Hi everyone. Welcome back to my channel, Apple Zantiares. So today I'm going to be doing a little sit-down kind of Q&A chat video. So I posted a few days on Instagram about how I was going to be doing a copy summer chat with you guys and I asked you to post a couple of topics or questions that you had for me. So I'm going to go ahead and go through all of these topics or questions and just answer them for you guys. Before I start, my glasses are from iBuyDirect. They are the Myrtle style and then my t-shirt is a tank from Lipstick and Little. It just says, live in my best life and then my earrings were a gift from Ashley from Lipstick and Little so I don't know where they're from but I assume it's probably from some wonderful Etsy shop somewhere. Okay so I'm just going to scroll through the comments. There's about 20 comments on this post and I'm just going to answer them as best I can. All right the first question comes from Bretaful Teaching. Ideas on how to tell your administration about your social media platforms. This is kind of one of those things where it's like kind of up to you. My principal knows about my activity on YouTube. I don't know if he knows about my activity on Instagram but he does know about my activity on YouTube and that is strictly because I was vlogging in Seattle when we went on our avid trip. We were at a conference and I just told him I avidly vlog for teachers. I like to give ideas on YouTube and I'm going to be vlogging this trip and he was completely fine with it. He had no problem with it at all. I think that it depends on the principal but they just need to be a person with an open mind and luckily mine is very awesome and supportive. I don't think that he watches. I don't think that any of my administrators watch or really care as long as I'm not posting things that are inappropriate which I don't so. Switching from fourth grade to third grade. This has been a really fun transition and I find that it's really a good one to do. I've never switched grade levels before except for fourth to third but I found that it's really helpful because I know what the kids are going to need to be successful in the next grade level so it's easy for me to support them as upcoming fourth graders. So a lot of the fourth grade stuff is relatable to well a lot of the third grade stuff is 100% relatable to fourth grade. It's kind of introductory and just a little bit simpler. Okay, tips for an aspiring teacher. If you are aspiring to be a teacher you are getting ready to enter one of the best careers out there and I think that if you are aspiring to be a teacher it's a really good idea to immerse yourself in the teaching community. Go and observe in some classrooms at all different age levels. Find out your niche and obviously the YouTube community of teachers is a great place to be because there's a lot of really amazing ideas out there. A lot of amazing teachers who are willing to share their ideas with you. How do I do my math rotations? I don't really do math rotations. Rotating is kind of a thing that I despise. I think that it's way too much to manage and I would rather do small groups with some students working on other things. So my centers are more of like a weekly rotation so my students will do five different centers in the week. So they'll have a full day to do one center then the next day they do another center, the next day they do another center. They might even do the same center twice. It just depends on the center. Tips on teacher YouTube. I think that if you're going to start a teacher YouTube channel you just need to remember that nothing that you have to share is not important. Does that make sense? How about I reword it like this? Everything that you have to share is important and will impact somebody. You should share every and any idea that you want to because if you've thought of it maybe hundreds of other teachers haven't thought of it and they're going to use it and they're going to enjoy it. So I think that every person who's aspiring to be a teacher YouTuber should absolutely 100% do it. How much time do you spend outside of contract hours? Advice for a soon-to-be teacher on how to balance it all. I would say that I spend about one hour to an hour and a half outside of contract hours. My contract hours are eight to, or sorry, seven thirty to three thirty and I generally get to school at seven and I leave school around I get to school around seven and I leave at three thirty. So really only an hour to a half an hour each day outside of contract time. Balancing everything I would just say that like pick and choose the most important things that you want to grade. Find things resources that are low prep. Don't spend all of your time socializing at work. It's important to have friendships and be social but I also think that you can work at the same time as socializing so try to use your time wisely. I work during my prep. I work during my lunch and I try to get everything done. Baby weight. How much did you weigh after you had cash? How much have you lost? What have you been doing to lose the weight? Daily schedule? What are you eating? So before I got pregnant or right when I got pregnant I was about 155 pounds and I'm five seven so I'm not a skinny person but I also worked out a lot and lifted weights. After having cash so my last weigh in I believe I was 180 maybe 175 so I really only gained about 20 to 25 almost 30 pounds. After I had cash I breastfed for about four months, three months exclusively and then the fourth month I pumped and I supplemented. During those four months I lost all of the baby weight just by breastfeeding alone and I think a lot of that had to do with like I would sleep throughout the day and I wouldn't really eat as many calories as I was supposed to eat and so I lost a lot of weight that way. After I went back to work a few months in I gained most of my pregnancy weight back and I was hitting about 170, 175. Then last year I started taking 5-HTP which is a really awesome vitamin for stress and anxiety. I don't feel like I have a whole lot of anxiety but I definitely have stress just being a teacher and there's also something in that vitamin that helps you with weight loss and sleep. So I feel like maybe getting a little bit more sleep and just not having that huge appetite really helped. I tried to stay away from carbs so I would eat a lot of salad and soup and just try to stay away from like noodles, bread, rice was pretty much my only carb or potato and I don't really feel like I'm on a clean diet. I just like to eat healthy. I like to eat yogurt, I like to drink or gain protein shakes, the meal replacement shakes, eggs in the morning like I said salads or soups or some kind of like rice cake with some kind of meat on top, high protein based diet, try to eat lots of greens and fruit and just try to eat healthy. I also go to the gym a few times a week. I do cardio, I do weightlifting, I've done beach body workouts, I have a gym in my house so it doesn't really give me an excuse not to work out. However, I don't feel like I'm a consistent weightlifter. I think that I just naturally have, I mean I'm definitely not skinny. I will tell you that like no I don't project it on the internet but I don't have a skinny body. Definitely a thicker, a thinner thicker girl if that makes any sense. Like I have a thinner body structure but I definitely carry weight. Like I you know I'm not tone or anything. Like I definitely have cellulite, I definitely you know I think a lot of the things that people think I've lost a lot just because of like angles and you know we can project ourselves on the internet a certain way and you don't really see everything. So moving to third, any advice on prep during the summer, any advice in general? I don't really prep a lot during the summer because I like to enjoy my summer. But things that you could prep is just I would say like find all of your resources that you'd like to use throughout the year. Like know when you're going to teach each standard and then start finding those resources. Start compiling them in the summer so that when you go back to work you have everything ready. You can just kind of pull when you're ready to teach. Your best advice for people that want to be teachers but are discouraged because others say they won't make money. Well you won't make money especially if you teach in a state like I do. But I really don't think that if somebody is telling you not to do it because of the money situation but you're gonna love it then ignore them. They have no idea what they're talking about. They probably don't like their job and they're just trying to get you to not like yours. What advice do you have for new moms who will be transitioning back into the classroom after maternity leave? Alright Kayla dot, Kayla dot dow I think I'm saying this right. I would say if you are stressed out about breastfeeding don't be. If you have gotten from birth to the end of your maternity leave breastfeeding you are fine. You have done it.  You do not need to pump at work. If you want to do that that's fine but don't put yourself under that kind of pressure because that's what I did and I never got anything out of it. All I did was get stressed. All I did was get tired and it's not worth it. Your baby will be okay on formula I promise. Balancing work and family leave your work at work. At the end of the day I close my classroom door. I don't bring anything home to grade. I don't bring anything home to plan. When I come home I am mom and that is it. Tips on teacher YouTube and how do you collaborate with your special education department? I'm a special education teacher who just graduated and I loved hearing tips from general education teachers on collaborating together. I think that it's really important to collaborate with your special education teachers as well as especially if you have many students in that program. What I like to do with my special education teacher is share my curriculum map with them so that they know what I'm teaching and when I'm teaching it. I also have resources in my curriculum map so if my special ed teacher wants to be teaching the same thing I am or at least supporting it that's one super awesome way to collaborate with them is just sharing what you're doing so that they can support you in their classroom. Cambria Alexis. I'm going to be teaching third and I'm wondering what are some of your must have resources? I like everything on Common Core Kingdom on TPT. I think that her bundles for ELA are really awesome. I love how she has the kids engaged with color coding their evidence when they answer a question with Cran. It helps them to stay focused. It helps them to find their proof and they love coloring so I think that's a must have resource. Life in general having more kids, how's the new house, the dream age to teach. I love my new house. We have lived here for about a year. Well a year and a couple of months. I absolutely love my house. It's pretty much done. I don't think I'm going to do an updated house tour just because I feel like you guys see the house all the time on my videos but I would like to have one more kid, one more baby. Probably won't shoot for that until maybe next summer. I would love to have a three or four year age difference, maybe even five. I know a lot of people say to have them close in age but I would really prefer to have them a little bit of a gap just because I don't feel like they'll be any closer if they're close in years. Although be closer is fighting with each other so I feel like if I have Cash be a little bit older then he could be more helpful and then I can have a little newborn and Cash can be kind of more independent. So all right the next question is how do you handle two jobs being a mom teaching and birthday parties? So I don't do very many birthday parties anymore but as you guys know if you've been following me for a while I do own a small character entertainment company called a Child's Dream Entertainment and I don't personally do a whole lot of events anymore but I will pick one up here and there about once a month maybe twice and the way that I handle that is honestly with help from family, help from friends. My husband works on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday at two o'clock until midnight so if I want to do any extra jobs on the weekends I have to seek help from either my mom, my in-laws or my wonderful next door neighbors who are so near and dear to us. Christina next door she babysits Cash whenever I need it, I watch her girls whenever she needs it, we have dinner at each other's houses all the time like they are truly our best friends if not just chosen family and then my mom and dad come down every once in a while about every two weeks they'll come and visit so I really do have a lot of help and support and that really does help me balance both jobs but like I said I don't really do that many anymore. Where do you buy your glasses? I get all of my glasses from ibuydirect and on my youtube channel in almost every single video down in the description box is every single style that I own and like a quick brief description so this one will say like the purple frames it has a direct link to the actual frames and then above that is a ten dollar off coupon code from like you can use it's like a code or a link you can go to to get ten bucks off your first order so yeah so ibuydirect is where I get all my glasses. My son is around the same age as your son what do you do to stay fit and energized to keep up with him? Lots and lots of coffee and I go to the gym with him I go to mountainside fitness and there is a really really great child care program there they have really really awesome people working there and cash really likes going there and playing so on Saturdays and Sundays when my husband is not home like right now during the summer it's kind of easy because I can go whenever I want but when my husband's not home on Saturdays and Sundays in the afternoon after before cash wakes up or sorry in the early afternoon morningish time I will take cash to the gym with me and just do cardio I try to stay off of my phone as much as possible when it's just me and him I try to take him outside I try to do interactive games with him in the house like building Legos doing puzzles sorting shapes doing colors just working with him like playing with him not just letting him sit by himself and play by himself I take him for bike rides I take him to the park I do a lot with him just because I feel like when I'm home and I get the opportunity I want to spend as much time as I can with him especially in the summer but when I get home at four o'clock four thirty after the work day is over I just spend time with him and with my husband I also have a workout buddy that I see on Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays after cash goes to bed at eight o'clock since my husband is home those nights I will go to the gym with my friend and it's really nice because I get like a little bit of me time I get to hang out with a girlfriend and it gives me that time kind of to myself I also like to go to yoga with my friend Vanessa she's just for teaching on Instagram I love going to yoga with her I think we might be going I'm hoping that we'll start going at least once a week when school gets back in so those are just some things that I like to do to kind of like balance and keep myself energized I guess curry girl 97 I'm interviewing for a para in a special ed classroom and I could use some ideas as to what questions they might ask how should I answer them honestly I have no idea what a para professional interview would sound like or even go like I know that you would be a one-on-one assistant with children so I would imagine they're going to probably ask you what type of experience you have with kiddos but I'm actually not sure I can help you on that one I'm so sorry these were a lot of really awesome questions you guys I feel like a lot of people really want to know like how I balance life being a teacher and a mom and honestly I just have to choose which is more important to me teaching is my job I teach so that I can live I teach so that I can put a roof over my head so that I can drive a nice car so that I can provide food for my child I don't live to teach but I love it it's my passion it's my it's my art and I can't really think of any other job that I would rather do rather than like performing somewhere but I feel like with teaching I get to perform every day for 25 kids and involve them in performing as well not just like singing and dancing but you know putting on a performance and engaging them with that so I really don't think there's anything else I'd rather do um but when I get home when I walk in through that door I'm not a teacher anymore I'm a mom I mean yeah I'm teaching cash things every day but I just choose to be here and in the moment and his development is really important to me and I don't want to be one of those parents that doesn't involve in their kids education that doesn't involve in their kids development in their play time that's why I had him early in life at 27 because I wanted to have the energy to play with him and I've just made choices in my professional life that allow me to be able to come home and just be a mom so I hope I answered all of your questions there was no coffee involved in this video however I did drink a lot of water um so I hope you guys enjoyed this video I have some other really fun video video I have some other really fun videos planned for you guys for the rest of the summer and moving into the school year starting in about a month I cannot believe I go back to work in a month um but I plan to do a teacher fashion favorites video and I will show you guys all of my glasses all of my lipstick and little shirts all of my earrings from L and J dreams and just all of my like teacher staple must have items and I think I'm gonna be doing that pretty quickly so I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one bye guys


Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of very sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year, 11 am update and currently have all the U. S indices that we track at all the sectors with inside the S and B 500 trading to the downside. The S and P is down 42 points. The Dow is off 393. The Nasdaq one hundred sixty six about a half a percent little over two percent for the Russell. Forty points as semis are down 23. Trend is up 168. Gold is up two and three tenths percent. That's a forty five dollar move. Silver is up over three percent. Sixty seven cent move like recruiters up to twenty four natural gas back 14 cents. Thirty treasure up over two points. Trade out one thirty two twenty one. China's got to be loving that. Let's go take a look at all that means by looking at our nine panel market update chargers. You begin by taking a look at the ES mini. What it did at about four o'clock in the morning was it hit that resistance level. That's the top of that daily profile as at four thousand seven. So not a surprise that we're seeing price pull back. If we take a look at the spotball tonics. Well it's still above its 50 day exponential moving average that always gives the bears or sellers a leg up. If we take a look at the end queue out here the level you're going to watch today at the close is 12 632. That's the low of the swing point from February second. That's what it is trading into. If it closes into that level again today and yesterday was a close into that with volume. So price really should go target the top. But it needs to stay above 12 632 even Stephen U. S. dollar index pulling back protesting support. That's the bottom of its daily profile one or three seventy seven. The gold contract trading up into resistance. It's nineteen seventy five twenty price able to close above that. That is going to get a roadsman to mitigate her top and possibly set up in a to be equal CD to the upside. It might be a big one. Take a look at silver out here. It's trading above profiles of trade. But yesterday's high. That is a bullish signal here. This should continue to motor on to the upside like we crude. It needs a bearish re a bullish reversal candle to confirm a longer term a to be equal CD by the deep point. We don't have that as we speak right now. Natural gas pulling back trading below profile and into the swing point that generated. It's a it's a by the deep point pattern. The level to be watching there is two point four two two of price to close below that today. Your two thirty seven. It could signal move all the way back to test low of that swing point that was from the day of second year. That was from the day of February twenty second. Lastly thirty year treasuries up over two points right into prior resistance which have been established by the swing point low from January the 19th as well as a task market profile that's attempting to form today. Those sellers are supposed to be camp at one thirty two nineteen. Folks stay tuned for the trader said show but if you have to start your Friday have a fantastic one a fantastic weekend. Thanks for joining us. We look forward to meeting with you again soon. Take care.

First of all, we're giving away 12 extra salo pack spots within this break. So we pulled 12 out, we're going to give those away, we'll do the break itself with the second dice roll, third and final dice, we're going to give away four spots in the jaspys hit pack. All baseball, a lot of great stuff in there. Check it out, jaspyscasebreaks.com, full spots still available too. Very big thank you to this group for making this happen. So now, our first dice roll, top 12, after seven, we'll get extra spots. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time.  But hey, everyone, you still have a shot at those hit pack spots. It's just that this group has just slightly better odds. They get a little buy one, get one. All right, now let's gather everybody's names. All teams are in, let's do the break itself. Let's roll it, randomize it. Two and a five, seven times, names and teams.

You've got hits, and once we fill all of them up, you're going to find out which one you get. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next one, bye.


The greatest thinker of our time, Will Durant. If you're listening to this and you have not read or studied Will Durant, all I could say is the real societal shame is not the Kardashians and not that people spend too much time on their phone.  So when you were reading Will Durant you're reading somebody who's relatively recent, not that recent. He's been dead for decade but he you know he's not from the 1700s so a lot of his stuff is relevant to our time and it's interesting he made all these predictions about what the world will be like. I want to read you and talk about the value in our lives of what Will Durant said about innovation and society and then I also want to talk about something called ESS which is evolutionary stable strategies which is a more complex concept. It's one of the it's so powerful of a concept you probably never heard of it. It's so important that you've never heard of it and if you walk down the street and ask 1,000 people do you know what ESS evolutionary stable strategies mean 1,000 people will be like I've never actually heard that phrase before which is the tragedy upon tragedies because you learn the multiplication tables which is somewhat helpful. I mean it is helpful to know 12 times 12 is 144 and 9 times 9 is 81 but and it is probably well it's less important that kids know calculus and precalculus because basically unless you go down the sciences or engineering you don't really use those.


Hello, and welcome back to theCUBE and our SuperCloud 4 event on GenAI and more. I'm Rob Streche, managing analyst with theCUBE Research. Today we're excited to have a personal friend in AIOG, Frederick VanHaren, CTO of HiFens, joining us today live here from our Boston studios. Welcome, Frederick, how are you doing? Good, thanks for having me, Ro. Well, I mean, again, you've been around AI for quite some time before all this hype and before chatGBT really blew the lid off of everything that's going on. You bring a lot of perspective on this as well, and especially from the fact that it comes from an infrastructure perspective up as well. And I think that, you know, the data science part as well as connecting back into that. You know, help us kind of get acquainted with what the history has been and where you've been with this and help us understand what you've been up to in AI, you know, for the last decade or so. Right, I mean, so it's interesting what has been happening. I mean, we always talk about AI as something new. The reality is AI has been around for a long time just like HPC. And I think the big trends in the early 2000s is that we went from a software-centric or code-centric approach to a data-centric approach, which basically means for enterprises that there's software used to be their IP. Nowadays, it's data. And that's a complete shift, not only from how you approach the problem, but also how you deploy, acquire, and do innovative work with hardware. Yeah, I think that what's interesting is, and you know, we talk all the time about, you know, is it becoming data products and data product management and how you take a more data-centric, you know, like you said, that's their product, is their data now. You see a lot of different companies and what they're up to in this space and trying to get started, you get brought in by a lot of the different vendors to help them, you know, get their feet under them, consolidate data into a data platform. What are some of the mistakes that people are making out there that you just, you see and you go, okay, this happens over and over again? Yeah, it's an interesting question. Mistakes happen at all different levels. I mean, the first level is really where AI is becoming a commodity in the sense that a lot of enterprises want to do AI or have to do AI and they start from a corporate IT perspective, right? So the cultural approach and the hardware approach and the methodologies are significantly different. So one big thing we see is corporate IT people or organizations kind of doing the same thing as they always used to do. I'll give you an example, somebody might say, well, I understand I need to buy a GPU but I have an old server lying around, I'm gonna put that GPU in my old server and then I'm gonna do some AI, right? And then they quickly realize that first of all, it's not compatible and that there's a lot more going on. It's not just a GPU perspective problem, it's a data problem, it's a network problem, it's a latency problem. Some of those issues aren't really not new, it's just that they come in in a new context and people have challenges with those. The challenge of course for enterprises is once you start it's very difficult to go back and fix it but everybody is at a different stage. We see people acquiring GPUs and then say, now what, we have other people that do the opposite, right? Where they do a lot with CPUs where really they should be using GPUs. We see a little bit of everything but it's challenging in every organization kind of reinvents the wheel if you wish. And maybe that's a better way to say it is that a lot of organizations try to reinvent the wheel. Yeah, no, I think that from that perspective what we hear and we've talked to as part of this SuperCloud 4 event and we've been talking to a lot of end users and I think part of it is they see a lot of hype and they're being told, hey, go do this or their CEO is getting behind the saying we're going to embrace this but we're gonna do it in a safe way. And that kind of leads to your comment about the data and things like that. A lot of time what I'm seeing is that there's a data cleansing or data quality issue in there, garbage in, garbage out. What are you seeing with that and what are some of the challenges that you're seeing with companies trying to deal with that? Right, it depends if what they're trying to process is something that is already well-known like a vertical market that's well-known or if it completely is something new. If it's not, if it's completely new the challenge is there is no good data yet or at least you don't know what good data looks like. So you will start compiling and collecting as much data as you can. I can just remember in the late 90s where when I was in the speech business we actually drove around in cars with tape recorders trying to record our voice at different speeds. I mean nowadays we laugh at it and say that data was horrible but there was no other data collected from within the car. So that data at that point was very useful to us. And I think a lot of organizations go through that perspective, meaning they collect data and trying to figure out what's good, what's bad. If you look at the more advanced AI organizations they don't have a lack of data, they have too much data. And the challenge with too much data is you don't know the value of the data unless you process that data. And processing data comes at a decent cost, right? I mean buying GPUs, they're not cheap, they're long wait lines for acquiring those GPUs. So in the end data management becomes your key focus, right? For at least for the organizations that are relatively mature. I mean I really could write a book about data management and data challenges but it's not easy. It's not like I'm going to collect a lot of data and I'm going to be done. It's collecting a lot of data that is targeted to the domain you're trying to figure out. It's not because you have data collected from within a car that vendor A will be able to use that for vendor B. Well I think what's interesting about that is, and again it goes back to the garbage in, garbage out and knowing not only the quality of your data but where it came from, the lineage and what is the business value of that data as well. And I think that the two don't seem to always go hand at hand or almost never. And it seems like a problem that we've had where you either do ETL or ELT and one way or another you're trying to figure out how do I optimize for cost or performance and that seems to be a common theme within AI is what is the business value and mapping that to the use case as well. Right and you brought up a good point. I mean data lineage comes up a lot and it comes up from different angles. One of them is bias. If you have a model you kind of want to understand what data went in there. But at the same time you want to use data lineage to figure out if the data you used, you were able to extract the value you wanted and if not maybe it's worthwhile to look at different types of data. And those are kind of challenges that organizations have to deal with but when you look at organizations that want to do AI or have to do AI because nowadays you see a lot of organizations start in AI not because they want to, because they have to. It's a time to market concept, right? If you and it becomes extremely challenging if you have a lot of money it's easy for you to buy a lot of hardware. It's not easy for you to buy a lot of good data. Right, yeah and do you see people saying well I want to do it in-house versus take it to a cloud or to one of the hyperscalers because they're looking at it and going it is considerably cheaper to train internally closer to my data and it's just legacy where they've had the data internally versus trying to fight the gravity to move it up to a cloud. Right, I mean to answer the question we have to split the AI question in two pieces. One is training and inference. So training is really where all your data sits and typically depending on the organization they might decide on premises for security reasons or maybe cost reasons, right? The public cloud is great but something 24-7 can turn out to be really costly. If you think about the inference of the production side that's where I see the public cloud really shining because the flexibility and only pay for what you use concept is really key there. And so the answer is not simply AI is good on premises or AI is good in public cloud. I think you do have to split it and then of course there's also where your workload sits or where your data sits, right? On the edge, right? So what do you do on the edge? How do you extract that data? But the public cloud and inference slash production is definitely my favor. Yeah, I think we've talked about this. I think, again, the edge is a really interesting piece of it because I think a lot of people are trying to figure out maybe I have sensor data, car data, what have you that's moving around or and or does not have a lot of compute out there? And they're trying to make decisions there and do you end up with a hub and spoke model where you're pulling some data back but you move inference out to say a co-location like an equinex or digital realty or something like that closer to your sensors.  Right, so I do see two areas. One is the data ingestion, right? So imagine a video camera filming a security in a building, right? So you could consider that at the edge but it doesn't make any sense to send 12 hours of nothing happening in the firm. So you want something at the edge that gives you the good data only being exported to the data center. And then from a data center perspective, I mean, that's really where you can work with the data and create this flexibility and scale to process that data as you wish and how fast you want it, right? Yeah, no, I think that makes total sense. And I think that to me, when I see people organizations talking about AI, I always ask, okay, what's the use case or what are you trying to solve for?  Right, I mean, everybody wants to get up and running as fast as possible. The reality is, and even when I'm being asked to speak at conferences, it's really about basic AI, demystifying AI, the concepts behind it that it's not voodoo but explaining, there's data behind it, there is math behind it, there is scale behind it. Why do we need GPUs? What's happening to the market, right? So we all know that every three years, the amount of data doubles, what do you do with that?  On top of that, the algorithms, the software we use to do all the math, those become more complex every year times 10. And so if you put those together, it's almost a race against the time, but most people really are looking for better understanding what AI is, right?  The reality is that GPUs or FPGAs by themselves are not gonna solve your problem, right? I think there is a definite need, certainly now in the situation right now, is to explain what AI can do for you, but also explain what AI can't do for you. Yeah, no, I think that is a big key. And I think it's starting simple, starting small, understand your use case, then grow how you're using that. If it fits or not, you have to make that determination from a business perspective. We've been talking to a number of different companies where one friend in particular that I talked to was starting their CFOs organization was starting with an LLM. And part of this was they do 10Ks and 10Qs and quarterlies and all kinds of different reporting for the SEC and stuff like that. And they wanted to, it's a form, it's pretty normalized, but the way that they do their calculations to fill that form is kind of proprietary to that company. So they were building on-prem their own LLM for the CFOs organization. They had to be very secure. What are you seeing from, or what are some of the considerations, I guess, for organizations to think about when they're starting down this journey from an infrastructure perspective in particular? Right, I mean, LLMs are a good example. I mean, it used to be that organizations would have to build their own models and they actually would deploy their own models, right? And so I think now we're entering a period where training is being done, or let's call it pre-training is being done, like an LLM that understands what the English language is, what words you expect to see, and then bring your own context, right? And so if we go technical a little bit, that we call that transfer learning.  And this is really where AI is being applied today is not everybody has to build a large language model from a trained perspective. You actually can do that, right? There is Lama nowadays, I mean, there is Bard, there's so many different options. And I think that's a trend that the LLM people brought forward, but I see that in other industries too, where it's more the application side, if you wish, as opposed to the need to build a large language models. I'm not sure how many organizations build full blown large language models today, but I think it's a handful, right? It's not like when I, as you know, I used to work at New Orleans Communications, we would have to do everything ourselves.  Nowadays, you can get, you know, you can go to a website where you download the large language model and just build your own application. Yeah, I was going to say, I think hugging face with the amount of open source large language models or models in general that keep coming, it's something, some ridiculous thousands a month of new models show up in there or something like that, which is kind of crazy when you think about it. Yeah, if you think about it, I mean, like what I said earlier in the conversation is that it used to be where the source code was the IP. I mean, if you think about it, hugging face and others, they give it all for free, right? So the source code is almost insignificant. It's open source, you share, everybody improves it, but the data is still king of the hill, right? That's what it's all about.  Do I age out? Do I just expunge it completely after a certain time?  How do you think that companies are gonna be able to kind of deal with all of that data management at that level? Yeah, I think it's a big challenge. I think organizations, some organizations already have a, I wouldn't, I don't know how would you call it, like a CDO or like a data officer or something like that. I think a lot of organizations will go towards something like that where they have somebody who understands that concept and at the same time, data is not something you per se have to own, data can also come from your customers, but also I see a lot of open source data nowadays, right? If you want to build maybe a large language model or data for self-driving cars, there are public data libraries out there. So it comes with a whole slew of different problems, but I do think that data will become more embedded in organizations and better understood than something like we just need a lot of data. Right, yeah, I think it was Bloomberg and has one for financial services and obviously it's slanted towards their view of financial services and I think Stanford actually has a healthcare one or somebody does or is out there, so that makes total sense. And I think hopefully the people watching got a good view of where they can get started and what kind of infrastructure to get after. You don't have to buy hundreds of thousands of GPUs. I think that's a takeaway is to look at that and I think also I'm last thought, I mean, as people get towards inference, you start to see that they can run on CPUs for inference. I mean, that's what we're seeing is smaller models. Once the model's trained and you're just using it for inference, you can push it out usually depending on the size. Right, I mean, historically, at some point before the GPUs, I mean, training and inference was CPU, both CPUs and then there was a trend where training was more and more GPUs and inference still CPUs. I think we're now at the stage where CPUs are being pushed out on the inference side in favor of GPUs, but it depends, right? If we talk about the edge, nobody's deploying a large GPU cluster on the edge. But yes, definitely, I think the CPUs had a good run. They're still effective in certain areas, but I think the accelerators in general are kind of winning the battle. Yep, that makes sense. Well, thank you for joining us today, Frederick. I really appreciate it. I always learned something when we get chatting and we could probably sit here for another hour and talk. I know that, just a way that both of us talk. So it's great. So thank you for coming on board. Thank you, great conversation and thanks for having me. Excellent. Well, and remember, you can stay here and stay up to date with all things AI by visiting siliconangle.com. Thank you for watching theCUBE and this episode of SuperCloud 4, the leader in high tech enterprise analysis and coverage. We're here for you. Keep tuned.


You can move your hand slowly left and right and then choose it. So right now it's connected, we hear the TCL and hi, so who are you? I'm David Derrida, head of product for Europe. And what is it wearing there? So it's wearing a concept, a technical project factory. And the idea here is to show some true display innovations. So imagine you want to experience a very extra large display, watching video, watching Netflix. So I can see the two micro displays that are in there, right? You can see on both eyes, what do you see?  Is it an arch? Yeah. No, it's not really augmented for now, but I guess we would be working to make it. Is that camera in there? No, so for now the use case is to watch a movie.  And this is connected over Type-C to your new phone. To the TCL Plex that we are announcing today. It's working. Let's show the phone. So you launched this phone today, a TCL Plex. TCL Plex, our first smartphone TCL branded, available in black and white. So that's what we are announcing today. What's really cool about the TCL Plex is that the TCL is famous for displays. So it's a very nice display. Yes, it's a very nice display. What's the size? So it's a 6.53-inch display with a notch. So the 24 megapixel selfie camera is here in the hole. We call it a dodge. We call it a dodge. So it's a dot notch. We registered this trademark. So it's not a notch, but it's a dodge. Yes. What do you call a dodge? Dodge. So what's really unique about this phone is what we call the next vision. And the next vision is basically coming from our expertise on displays, on TV, on large displays. And we'll provide some enhancements on the fly, converting SDR to HDR, for example, on the fly. So you are doing some AI kind of stuff to the video content? So we've got a dedicated chipset that we call next vision that will optimize the pictures, the video gaming experience on the fly. And here I would just... Does it optimize all the UI also and everything? The UI is not going to be super visible, but media content. I'll just show you an example here. This is the same brightness. You have the same picture here without next vision. So that's what we would experience on a normal phone today. And this is with next vision activated. So you can experience really the improvement of the pictures, the videos on the fly. So it's doing an AI analysis of the image, and it's adding kind of brightness. Adjusting the color, the brightness, the contrast on the fly. So it's a machine learning part of the SoC. Something like that, right? Yeah, kind of it. What's the chipset in the music world? So we call it next vision. It's a chipset which is optimized only for pictures and multimedia optimizations. But what's the CPU on your phone? So on the phone the CPU is a Snapdragon 675. It's a Qualcomm CPU, and in addition to this Qualcomm CPU, we have a dedicated display engine that we call next vision. And it looks really nice. What's going on here? So here you've got triple camera on the back. You've got a 48 megapixel camera, which is a sensor from Sony. Very high quality. The sensor in the middle is 2.9 micrometer low light. So our objective is to have extremely good video in low light environment. And the one on the left is the wide angle up to 123 degrees. So that's the three cameras on the back. If you go on the camera application here. Can you take a low light picture right now? So here we have a demo if you want to record or compare with your current phone. If I select here, I can experience these three sensors on the fly. So you can see the main sensor here, the wide angle, and here the low light will not show you the major difference, but you have a demo of low light. Does it take it automatically the low light, or you have to select it? No, so by default it's set to automatic. It's a smart system, it just goes automatically. By default it's set to automatic, but if you want to go manual, to have all the pictures, photo optimization, you can also do it manual. Can you do a lot of bokeh? Yes, you've got portrait mode. Can you take one with me? Sure. So then around it creates a bokeh, but it's an optical bokeh, or is it AI kind of bokeh? It blurs the background a little bit? Yes. Like by artificial intelligence? Absolutely. Is running Android latest? Running latest Android would be upgraded to Android 10 very quickly. And the price is going to be good? So we are announcing today at 329 euros. We are going to launch next month in several European countries, and you can start pre-orders on Amazon in Germany for example today. And the smart glass system, is there any price for this? No, it's too early, so we're just showing concept today. Can I say 499? No, no, no, not today. Alright, so this is the TCL smartphone for the first time in Europe, no? First time we ever launched a smartphone under the TCL brand, coming together with all the great display stories we announced today. USA? Or just talking about Europe only? October will be Europe in some countries, but progressively we will deploy to other countries. The objective will be USA next year.


Oh, HG eSports!  And enjoy the I-Lite 2020 series. The very first 24-hour Le Mans virtual Corvette to the front of the field. Thanks to Erhegan Jujowsky. Hello, hello everyone. How are you doing? Yep, Jim is on track doing a great job. Let me check. Yeah, I'm all muted so I can talk to you quietly. Let me just ask him how many... How many loves? Ah, bienvenue, comment ça va? Yo, biscuit. Hey, everyone. Hi, hi, hi. Let me just... Oh, dear. It's been loose. Let me go and ask him. A bit loose in there, Jimmy. A little bit loose. Oversteering, that one. Yeah, very loose. Very loose. How far down the stint are you, brother? Nine laps. Okay. Okay, I'll be back in a couple of laps with you then. All right, nine laps to go. Still doing great. Left side. I'm taking the wheel in nine times one minute thirty-ish, which is nine minutes. Half of it, thirty and a half minutes, I guess. And we are 12 minutes, 12 hours, two minutes and four seconds to the checker flag. I'm going to be very soon reaching out for a point, which is great, which is really good. And I bought a fan. I just got a fan and it's almost cold now in my room. Ah, Sanimoel, yeah. I gave up the 220 volts fan and I went to buy one, 110 volts and that's doing great, so let me get you there you go. So we can get some action. You think you've got more than one fan? That's very, very, very kind. Where is Miami? Miami is warm and sunny and nice. Nyon, yes, I do kind of miss Nyon, but I'm very happy here. Hey, Tara Bordeaux. It's my newest fan, yes. That's a good one. I've got my newest fan just bought at the shop today. I use a SimLab rig and Fanatec wheel. Yeah, it's all written in the bars. Hey, Tampa Boy, how is it going? How is the weather in Tampa right now? Show the fan. It's in front of it. It's in front of the computer. Yeah, you know, it's new days. You have to buy fans. That's what you do. It's not that cheap. Hey, Leslie, what's up? What's up, boys? Let me just go and check here. All right. Merci, Ben. Wishing me good luck. Hey, England. Hello, everyone. I love Midoya. It's like a big roller coaster, right?  I like Midoya. I heard they're going to be resurfacing the tarmac for the next two years. Not for this year, but maybe next year. That's going to be awesome. Hello, Portugal. Yeah, Leslie, I know I've been... I mean, I didn't have a computer, so it wasn't easy to play anything, but I'm ready to go back on wellzone. Whenever I've got a little bit of time, still busy fighting the admin, fun of moving to a new country. But it's all going well, yeah. Thanks for a good, yes, long beach, a love long beach. How long until I'm in the car? Less than 10 minutes, so to say now. Left side is clear. Yeah, we are under 12 minutes, 12 hours to go. It's awesome. Thanks, Ben. Yeah, can't wait for the Indy car season to start. Yeah, that lap was pretty good for the tires, 33.99, yes. I agree. I agree. Yeah, we still P1. We still P1. Yeah, it's great. Why do I not play in VR? I don't know, I think from the guys talking. I've got triple screen. Ultra wide screen works really well as well. VR, I think the frame per second is a little bit too slow yet. So we can't really do that. The lap time was 134.29. Yeah, three screen works pretty well. P1 by a lap, I think. No, Indy car doesn't race in Daytona. It's only a few races and obviously the big one, the road. Next weekend, I've got the qualifying race this weekend and the next weekend is the 24. Yeah, VR, you must get really hot in the mask, in the cask or whatever it's called. Oh, race VR with a valve in X 144 hertz. That's pretty good. It's very good. I'm doing good. Yeah, it's getting better and better. I'm still doing some treatment on it, but it's really nice now. Maybe I should... I'll ask, I'll wait one more lap and then I'll go back to Jimmy and it's going to be my triple screen sooner. They just called me and said, can you do a triple screen? Okay, why not? It's a good thing by being in the States and having drivers in Europe is that we can actually do a pretty good mix and we've got a driver in Australia as well. It's pretty cool. Hello, Argentina. What did you order? Oh, I shared a steak with Devlan. Which one was it? The T-bone one was big, but it was good. I liked it. I didn't go for the shrimp though. The cocktail is a bit spicy. But it was good. It was cold outside. Oh, spin axis.  I didn't see Jimmy spin. Did he spin? No, I wouldn't be... I wouldn't be super bad if it was too dangerous, but thank you for reading the book. It's a pleasure. Yes, I'm racing in the 500 dc. Okay, let me go back to Jimmy. All right. Getting there, brother? Not long. Meaning? Five hours to go out the lane. Okay. Did you manage everything with Jimmy, tires, fuel, everything? Yes. Oh, lovely. All you have to do is get in the car. Okay, Jimmy, do you like to press escape and adjoining? Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Good, good. Love is stint. Is that the third one on the same tires? Yes, sir. Oh, dear. It must be quite emotional at the end. At what mode? You like a lead downshift? I'm really strutting into that one. I know, but I just... I don't like... I lose complete sense of speed if I do that. It's like when I did the ice racing this winter on the electric cars, I was struggling a lot because with the electric cars, you've got no sound. And I'm like, which speed am I doing? I've got no idea. Yeah, I'm racing with Jimmy into the Goldie car. It's a touch faster than a Praga, I think. You know. Is it faster than Praga? A little bit. You don't do 333 kph in the end of the straight and Silverstone? Yeah, about that. About there, yeah. Next one, next generation. It's a lovely car. Oh, sir. Oh, I'll tell them you passed. He just... So... Yep. That lap time was 134.14. So, Jimmy, you're at 12.8 at the line, so you're a bit like tidal fuel, aim for 3.0 for that. Slower class car ahead. I'm going to check that I'm live. Yeah, I'm live. Watch out, on the left. Clear on the left. Feel free to go TC 10 for the last few laps. I'm not even sure I set that up on my steering wheel, bro. You're approaching a group of slower cars. You don't have onboard adjustments? Well, maybe somewhere. You know, my sim, I didn't use it for a very long time, so some of this... No, I think I do have it. I think I'll have it. What would you want to brake by? Is 483 good? Yep, perfect. I mean... We're going to leave traction control at 9, because we want to save a little bit of those three times. The last lap time was 134.57. Okay, sure. That's fine. Does it make a difference? I think yes. Then the fencer you drive in the car will be safe. Yeah. Okay. Coming up on a slower class car. Perfect. Sounds good to me. Jimmy, so my chat is saying that it might honk and I told him not to do so. Am I what? He had the notification that honked and it gave a jump scare and he lost it in the corner. Oh yeah, the chat told me about it. You should have seen the issues. Yeah. I can't wait to watch the replay. I hit the... of the chicane. Did you do that? No. Yeah, I did. And then I saw... the issue is that P3 is catching insanely, right? Really? That lap time was 134.00 on Tuesday. I doubled my triple. I put my head down and I was just locking laps. But where are they now, P3? There's still a lap behind them. Car lap. Clear on the left. Left side. Yeah, but... your left clear. The GT3 almost... did not swim out there. If they do one second of lap faster than us for the rest of the race, they're going to catch us about halfway from now. And are they one second faster? Yeah, if they do one second faster... Yeah, but are they one second faster? Yeah, but are they one second faster? Yes, KC is.  That's why at some point I started turning up. Then, again, we're on a different tire strategy, so we'll see how it plays out. But, um... How long is the change-up ready for us? So, the rear is 14, all-force 28, but now we're going for all-force. So we're going for like triple, four tires, triple, four tires. Yeah, but I'm just checking it. You know, we shouldn't maybe... do change-race only at one point before the end of the triple or something like that. We expect to do this in the harder conditions. Okay. But for the colder conditions, it's great this time. Okay, so... We had like fresh doubles, but poor fronts. Okay, that's all right. I mean, that's what P3 is... Yeah, at least that's what the guys concluded when I was driving. I wasn't doing the strategy. And then we called it. And I was like, okay, fine. It's fine. That lap was a 1.35, might 1.2. All right. Those rears are not happy. But 14 seconds, that means you need to gain half a second of lap with new rears. I'm not sure you can do that. I don't know. It's not straightforward. No, it totally isn't. What's P2's strategy like? P2, I think, their own triples. Okay. Just like P3. Yeah, which strategy are they on? Both of them. P2 and P3 are just some triples, just like the beginning of the race, I think. Okay. In this lap. Coming up on a slower-class car. Watch your speed. Activate limiter. Boxing 410 meters. Be careful with that game. We did get some drive-through for doing it. 50 meters. Good stuff, man. Good stuff amid the alarm. The people. Sorry about the... It's all good, man. All right, you are in the car. You will take four tires. Okay. And you will take fuel. Okay. Okay. Piquimita is on. And Jimmy, I know the tires were tough to drive, but look at your tire wear. It's like perfect for triples at the end of a triple. This. Okay. Up on the stand. Two tires left. Okay. Ah, they're fast because they're not fuel saving. They pit it at the same time as us. You're about to be ready to go. Let's go. Thank you, brother. Are you going to sleep now? It takes it. You're clearing exit? Yeah. Well, no, it wouldn't upshift. Okay. It doesn't downshift. Watch. My steering wheel is not working. It's not working. Stand the upshift. No, it's not working. Go left, go left. Let him by. Clear on the right. Fuck. No, it's not working. No, I'm here. If you want to... Yeah, well... I think I'm... Click on the left side. Okay. Now it's gone. Okay. No. It's now 10 seconds. No. No. I need to... I don't know what's going on.  Are you ready? You're on your right. Right side is clear. You want to go because... You'll be quicker, man. It's up to you. Because if I go now, I'm going to have like three triples to do. No, I can't. It's not working. Fuck. Okay. Lock tonight. Lock. Yeah. I need to lift off for some reason to get the gear going. I'm going to try another lap.  Where's the clutch? I don't know. That wheel is going to the bin. I can't... No. I can't do anything. Okay. Okay. We'll put Jimmy back. Yeah. No, no. Man, I can't...  No problem, really. Just bring him back home in the pit. Fuck. Coming up on a slower car. We're going to go no tires, no fuel. Just going to do driver's off. Oh, sorry, boys.  I just... I destroyed the... Double shift paddle. I need to order a new wheel. I'm going to... I'm going to... I'm going to go straight at the chicane, right? Yeah, go straight at the chicane.  My PC isn't on, so I can't open the car right now. Okay, I'll do it. Okay, so you know what? I can't... Can I do the triple now and then you do the next one? You don't want the penalty. Me? Yeah. You're going to do it? Yeah, I can do it. It's fine. On the right. Who's getting in the car? Me. I can't... I can't even... I can't engage the speedometer because I'm not in the... It's okay, use your pedal. Just use your pedal. I'll get in the car. Yeah, just... Oh, my gosh. It's okay, just use your pedal, mate. 100 meters. 50 meters. Go to home. Okay, what's the... What's the gap to P1 now to chase down for main racing? They're about to pass us a bit late. Wait, they're not even passed us yet? They're about to. Okay, well... And they've just passed. Alright, me and Risteam have got some work to do, but we can get it back. Yeah, I'm sure you can, guys. Alright, I think realistically, if you're having real issues, I think that might be... Well, look, I unplugged it and unplugged it again. I know it's all working. I think it's... Yeah, it's too risky. It's tricky to test that again. Yeah. Sorry, Roman. No worries. I'll think, okay. I don't know. I don't know what happened. It's a car approaching. Don't cross the white line. Watch your mirrors. Good fight, man. Right. Well, let's get some good laps, boys. You got to turn that with me, mate. Well, I'll stay with you a little bit, but... It's so annoying. I don't know what happened. Did it get hot or something like that? This doesn't work anymore. I got into settings. If it worked, I know it doesn't work anymore. Yes, boys. Let's go. Let's go, boys. Don't think about the lap times. Just hit each and every apex. No, I think the... Is that a car ahead? Yeah, the steering wheel got hot or something. I don't know. It wouldn't work anymore, which is slightly annoying, if I'm being honest. Roman, done the minimum lap. Oh, yeah. What's the minimum lap? The real issue, please. So you come back and you do the minimum lap, because I think you do this. I think it's a dog bite. In this lap. In this lap. Yeah. Race. There's no recommend that any of your team members that drove in the prior session must drive the car during the race. Yeah? You got to call him. Well, I don't have a steering wheel anymore, so what do we do? You know what I mean? If they come to us and they say, you know, you didn't drive enough, well, yes, I wish you could drive. I'm here. Just check us up with the wheel and see if you can fix it, for sure. Otherwise, I think you did your minimum. Well, what I can potentially do is to leave here, go on a test session and see if it's working. No, I don't know. I've been running it for... Let me quit here and do a test drive. Let's go on a test drive. Behind me is for position, right? Okay. Did he pit? Did the guy behind me pit? Yeah, technical issue. Annoying. They're very annoying. What's the gap to P1? I don't know, mate. 20 seconds. 20 seconds, that ain't bad. That's fine. That's fine. So now we're on sequence. We've got a race now. Everything's on sequence right now, right? No, guys. I've got a... Yeah, it's a cube control. A cube control. Let me down. Maybe going like a lot further. A cube control. Let me down on that one, I think. What's the guy's behind face? And when did he pit? Back in, so I'll be able to give you this info. Okay, thank you. I know my wheel is working. My wheel is not working. What do you want to do, boys? I just unplugged it and plugged it again and it worked. Yeah, very true. Very true. You just don't want me. You don't want me in a car. I didn't mean you or dude, some Megaston, sir. Oh, god. I'll tell you, my wife's going to be happy. Sir, well, thank you, birdie. Anna, they're in my Uber's here, so... I can't see who can do it, man. Man, last year the Daytona 24, my screen broke. My screen exploded. It's not my race. So my neighbour was trying to give me a screen through the... through the fences that could plug it in. And I finished the race on two screens out of three. I don't know, that race and me, we're not friends yet. If something wasn't all right. Slow down if you don't want to penalty. No, that's very annoying. That is very annoying. I need to change the setup. Oh, man. Communication with the SIM has not been established. This thing is going well.

Hello, you're watching the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you some of the major stories from around the world. Let's take a look at the headlines. Filipino's Mark anniversary of People's Power Revolution. Two Palestinian hunger-strikers released from administrative detention. Brazil considers reduction in fuel prices. In our first story as the Philippines gears up for high-volta general elections in May, activists and social movements took to the streets on the 36th anniversary of the historic People's Power Revolution and used it as an opportunity to say, Never again. Hundreds congregated at Quezon City near the national capital to commemorate the anniversary of the EDSA One Revolution on February 25. The 1986 protest, which began on February 22 and 25, was a result of a mass upheaval that includes student movements, trade union groups, and progressive and pro-democratic movements. It eventually brought down the autocratic and militaristic government of former President Ferdinand Marcos. The fall of Marcos was marked by a new era of democratization in Filipino political culture. Demonstrators gathered at the People's Power Monument in Quezon City near the EDSA Avenue, which was the epicenter of the 1986 protests. Left-wing and progressive movements and leaders were present at the demonstration, including a progressive senatorial candidate, and Renata Reyes, the leader of the left-wing Bayan Party, along with opponents of the Duterte administration. In the coming elections, Marcos' son, Ferdinand Marcos' junior, or Bongbong Marcos, will be contesting for the post of president. This follows the controversial administration of Rodrigo Duterte. His running mate, Sara Duterte, is the current president's daughter and is known for her right-wing and iron-fisted style of functioning during her tenure as the mayor of Davao City. The two are currently leading by significant margins in all major polls. Progressive movements in the Philippines fear a continuation of the legacy of what are arguably two of the bloodiest and most controversial presidencies in recent memory under the joint Marcos' junior Sara Duterte government. In our next story, two Palestinian administrative detainees who had engaged extended hunger strikes against their illegal administrative detention by Israel were finally released from custody on February 24th, according to a report by the Wafa News Agency. Hisham Abu Havash and Migdad Al-Kawasmeh, who were on hunger strike for 141 and 114 days respectively, had managed to pressurize Israeli authorities to end their illegal and arbitrary detention. Over the last year, they along with several other Palestinian administrative detainees had launched hunger strikes to bring attention to the injustice and cruelty they were facing in Israeli prisons. Havash was arrested on October 2020 and placed under administrative detention, launching his hunger strike in August 2021. Kawasmeh was detained in January 2021 and began his hunger strike in July that year. He had previously been imprisoned by Israel for four years for his resistance activities against the occupation. Both the detainees had suffered very severe health consequences and complications during the hunger strike. Despite repeated protests against the brutal practice of administrative detention, Israel continues to use it. The administrative detention orders against Palestinians can be renewed every four to six months, effectively keeping them in detention. In January, it issued 96 administrative detention orders, 51 new and 45 renewal ones. It had issued 1,595 such orders in 2021 and 1,114 orders in 2020. And for our final story, Brazil's parliament is currently considering proposals to reduce fuel prices. The move was prompted by a 46% rise in the price of gasoline. On February 24th, the Senate debated two projects to address this issue. However, a vote was postponed. The first was a bill authored by the Workers' Party Senator Rogério Carvalho. It sought to regulate the sale of fuel and change the import parity policy. Overall, there are four such proposals in front of Brazil's Congress to address the price rise. Here's a video by Brazil Difato on this issue. With the fuel prices hiking, four proposals are proceeding in Congress to reduce the oil derivatives prices. The most recent proposal is the proposed constitutional amendment on fuels, or PEC dos combustíveis, in Portuguese. It has the support of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, one of the president's sons. However, this proposal is not getting a warm welcome among the government's economic team. Today, the central bank is afraid because their conclusion on the proposals is that they won't contribute to reduce significantly the fuel prices and will cause inflation. I think that this evaluation is correct. The project came as a provocation. Governor, lower your tax, as if it were easy for a governor to give up 20, 25 or 30 percent of the state's revenue, which is the fuel tax. To use the money from schools, hospitals and public safety to subside fossil fuel is the total opposite of any progressive environmentalist logic. Parliamentarians from the Workers' Party are the authors of an alternative bill that creates a price range for fuel and a subsidy fund. The goal is to try to contain the impact of the oscillation in the price of the oil barrel and the dollar exchange rate. We propose that when an oil barrel exceeds $40, it's very profitable and therefore there must be a tax to discourage the export of crude oil and stimulate the refining of part of it here. Also, to create a fund to cover the cost of imparting diesel and natural gas with zero harms to Petrobras, guaranteeing approximately 50 percent in reais. What business has 50 percent in profits? The Workers' Party parliamentarians admit that the bill is not the ideal solution and criticize the price policy adopted by the Brazilian government since 2017. The problem with Brazilian fuel is that it's dollarized. The government adopted the international parity price. As long as that doesn't change, everything the government proposes will be like made in old clothes, never solving the problem. And that's all we have time for today.
