Welcome to ThinkTech Hawaii today on Monday, February 15th. This show is the state of the state of Hawaii, which airs on Alternate Mondays. I'm your host, Stephanie Stowe, Stowe Dalton. This show brings news of events and issues in our state with guests to share their expertise and experience and viewpoints on business, government, economics, law, public health policy, and safety, transportation, and also education. Today's show focuses on education specifically teaching. Hawaii's diverse public school classrooms have for decades welcomed out-of-state teachers, developed skilled local teachers, and partnered with private, state, and federal educational research programs to improve local students' school success. Reports of that work success point to classroom teaching that increases student talk and participation opportunities, especially in schools with needy students and highly diverse student populations. Teacher responsiveness and encouragement is also associated with reports of student success. Such observed changes are often explained as a talk story approach, even when observations occurred on the mainland in various states and in foreign classrooms. In Hawaii, talk story usually means everyone willingly participates in any way they can talk themselves into it and stay in it. How teaching can build use of this compelling approach, especially with needy and diverse students, is now studied widely. Since it appears that local classrooms will soon return to in-person teaching, there is an opportunity for teaching practice to benefit from these findings to assist teachers' enormous task to bring back all students to success in school. Our experts are here to explain more about this kind of talk power approach and also its implementation, how to influence teachers to be skilled this way in the classroom with their students. Our experts are welcome today and we have Dr. Ronald Gallimore, who is a merit from UCLA and formerly a UH Manoa professor. He's studied the Hawaiian culture on the leeward coast years ago and that has been foundational research for developing and implementing teacher practices to serve the needy diverse students of Hawaii. Dr. Bryant is our other expert. He is an associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education at BYU, but he's unfortunately in Provo, Utah, instead of Honolulu or actually Honola. His work focuses on sustaining equitable teaching practices in math teaching in rural Mexico and to enable equitable classroom talk in the low income schools here on Oahu in Hawaii. So welcome to both of you. Thank you for participating in the show. So what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at a fourth grade videotape as soon as I ask each of you two questions, which maybe you can be give us a little over a little what structured not a structured overview, but a little statement about what we're going to be seeing. The teaching that we're going to see is the talks, talk, powerful talk approach and the label of this approach to use it in classroom is now called instructional conversation. Dr. Galamour, Ron has been instrumental in having making this happen here and I wanted to ask him why is it called instructional conversation?  Teacher asks questions as students respond. Conversation implies a two way conversation, a discussion in which there are less focus on a hidden agenda in the mind of the teacher or the one of the speakers as so much as an exchange of ideas. So it is deliberate. Now, it came to be called this back when the commandment of schools was operating a laboratory school and we were looking for ways to improve the reading achievement of native Hawaiian children. What we just saw was the children came from a background where talk story was very common and in talk story everybody gets to jump in, contribute, put together a story, each member of the conversation contributing to it and through a series of explorations we discovered that we could use that to teach reading comprehension if the teacher let the students control the terms. See who got to speak which is like talk story. Nobody in a talk story has to be called on to speak whereas in a typical lesson teachers are calling our students to speak. But the big trick we discovered was if the teacher controlled the topic and used questions and other comments to keep the students on the topic and let the students control the terms, you ended up with a conversation that was instructional. The teacher directing the topic but the students controlling the terms and out of that came a rich supply of ideas and constructions that the students could use in their reading lessons and in their writing. What's interesting, yes, very well described and certainly kind of a paradox, instructional conversation, at least the way we've always thought of it. So I wanted to ask Dr. Jensen Bryant now about the label that he's using for this kind of teaching approach and his label is Equitable Classroom Talker ECT. So, Brian, can you tell us a little bit about what that means and how it's developed this idea forward? Yeah, I would say that we haven't landed on one label. We're sort of exploring labels and we're trying to build on the rich long 50-year history of instructional conversations and other work on dialogic teaching by folks like Courtney Kazdin and Bud Meehan and others. There are two challenges that we're really trying to work on to extend the work of instructional conversations. One is to address issues of equity and by that we mean whose lives are represented in the talk, whose lives are discussed and how are their assets brought to bear in the conversation and the second challenge we're trying to address and this figure speaks to this challenge is how to realize and sustain implementation of this talk across a variety of classrooms and so that's you know I'm working on this with colleagues at UH Manoa and other places like Dr. Lois Yamauchi, our family, my wife and five kids will be there in Oahu July to December and we're working in some of the schools including on the Leeward Coast and in the northern area there in Oahu and we have a hypothesis that if we can create these formative measurement systems as was shown in that figure we can we can sustain the implementation of this type of talk better. One that's grounded in these rich concepts gives teachers information direct from the teaching and provides guidelines for using that information in teams to sustain the implementation over time so that's something we're working on and it's a hypothesis I plan to pursue for the next several decades. It goes on and on so I think that this structure or restructuring of notion of what's happening in these interactions in classrooms it's a very good picture to have in our heads as we watch the taste. How do you feel about your grandmother? Good. What do you mean good? How do you feel about your grandmother?  Okay so I hear you saying that you feel good about her because she seems to assist you with things. Yeah. So any other reason you feel good about your grandmother? She cooks dinner for us. She always spends money on us. So she gives you presents or things? Yeah. She buys a lot of presents. Could you describe your grandmother to me? Curly hair. Oh Curly hair. Black. Black. Um Hawaiian. And she wears a shirt. She wears a shirt. I don't know. You've never seen your grandmother John? Only when I was small. You don't remember anything about her? No. She didn't change. Why might she change no Alani from when he knew when he was a little kid to now? She's old. Ah so your grandmother is old because and over time the grandmother would get older. What shows signs? How do you know when your grandmother's getting old? She gets gray hair. Her face gets wrinkled. And uh the way they talk and they can't hear. You see some physical changes in them like their hair green. Yeah no. Not a So your grandfather's pretty active huh? He doesn't show. He always brings silver dollars. Yeah he likes to call us out man. Yeah take them. So does your grandfather seem old to you? Uh no he's 86 but he's any kind. So why even though he's 86 why don't you think of him as an older man? What do you do to act young? Ah he does lots of things and he's supposed to fight. What might keep an older person healthy and active?  What did he say his grandfather does? No about visiting. Where does he go sometimes? He goes to Las Vegas. Why do you think he does that? He's a poker player. He likes to play. So that's kind of like his what? Thank you. Okay great. I uh I think that uh we showed that out of context you know of course that's part of a much much larger lesson um and we just wanted to present uh the situation so that it could be kind of freshly commented upon by um Ron who has worked with this long and hard and um and and then by Brian. So so Ron would you say a few things about what just went on and what we see there that is interesting for our purposes of uh dialogic teaching and how it might be different from traditional directed reading lessons? Well uh first of all you know I've watched a lot of video of lessons and one thing I learned is you miss a lot if you don't look at it a lot of times so I think many of your uh uh people visiting the podcast Stephanie are going to look at that and wonder what the heck was that and what what was the point of it and some people will see one thing and another but uh before I mentioned the context of this one thing about this is this is also a language learning lesson these students are being you'll notice the teacher never criticized the way the students express themselves never she focused entirely on the message or the content of what they're trying to say and then she helped them by asking questions and making other verbal moves to help them express more fully the thought they were trying to express and in that they are learning a way of speaking that is more in the academic sense she spoke in full sentences she used full questions she did follow up she didn't jump from topic to topic she kept focusing in on one thing bringing the students back so when somebody brought up Las Vegas she didn't say no no we're not talking about that today she said she built on it she used it and all this time these students are hearing her speak standard English in full sentences so there's a learning process going on there now the context of this was just say that it's so good you said that because if you look at it I would expect someone not familiar with this and not seeing it multiple times as it looks like a completely social situation and what you're pointing out is yes it is that at one level but there's much more going on here and in fact we have researched this and documented that over the course of a year students having these kind of conversations actually acquire a greater vocabulary a wider vocabulary they begin to use more complex sentence structures if they have these kind of opportunities for a focused conversation where the teacher keeps them on the focus on the topic and keeps pulling out of them a more elaborated version of their idea now the context here is after this lesson they're going to be asked to write a story about their grandparent so she is really helping them generate a whole lot of ideas which they will then write about and then they'll use that writing they did to build vocabulary and to learn more about English and grammar and spelling and all the rest of it so the meaning to them that it's about their grandparents will be used as motivation to learn about things about the English language yes very interesting and of course many other activities will develop out of this and this is one lesson a piece of one lesson within a whole week of a unit okay so Brian Brian what is it that you see there that relates to your emphasis on Bob sir observing teaching yeah I mean there's just a lot of good teaching that happens there right the teacher is letting students talk there's it's very multi-voiced right she's not correcting them she's the students if you listen closely use some of their everyday language like when they're the boy on the upper part of the frame is citing his grandfather he uses some Hawaiian pigeon in there and it's it's really wonderful she's not correcting that and there are points where she restates what the children say while extending and giving new words right so it's just wonderful teaching I think all of those things are really important you would never expect in a three-minute clip to see every feature of classroom discourse that you would want to see it wouldn't be you know feasible right but I think one thing that's important to me is is that the talk is communal meaning that yes it needs to have some direction from the teacher but in that three-minute clip there was only one brief moment where there was peer-to-peer talk the rest of the talk was all peer or was all student-to-teacher and teacher-to-student and so that's really important because there were the the female students weren't as vocal in that three-minute clip and again it's three minutes right who knows what happens before and after as as Dr. Gallimore just explained but for talk to really be equitable for it to enhance opportunities to learn for every student in the classroom there needs to be opportunities for all students to take initiative and for them to identify with one another's well-being and ideas so more peer conversation is is really important but that's a really good point that you make in a certainly a marker of the nature of that that work which is a communal experience of talking and I think that there's some other things going on in there too which which I think most people would notice if they were seeing this for the first time and it relates back to Ron's initial point about controlling turns or controlling topic and there were no hands raised that all of the participation was coming through a natural method even though the teacher may you know do do some physical things to bring people on but I think that it kind of pulls from that initial point that Ron made and that these students are used to this because students take a while to not be they take a while to get out of this hand raising and structured conversational arrangement so maybe what we can do right now is go take a look at the next clip and I know we have a question we'll get to in a minute but if we take a look at the next clip it moves along to kind of a different looking conversation but it has it has a focus more on the text material and the discipline or the content of the work so what we've already seen was mostly an experience-based conversation and a vocabulary development and a participation experience of confidence building and comfort in the role of speaking about learning material so in this one we'll see something that's a little bit different was what brandy can you restate what the problem is the principal didn't allow people playing soccer anymore okay the principal didn't allow anyone to play soccer anymore okay so we said or did you want to add something I think that's the problem okay the principal didn't allow anyone to play soccer anymore anyone to play soccer anymore that is the problem right that we're going to deal with right now now so then what happened what was one of the actions now what could you do did you just have to get it off from your head or where could you okay so you can go back to the text and look what was one of the actions dr all the girls are taking over the field the girls are taking over okay you're talking about what happened during the soccer game or what happened after they couldn't play soccer anymore well they couldn't play soccer anymore right so then what happened what okay do you remember who told the class that the principal took away soccer um Julia um who you didn't think go ahead mr floris and who's mr floris the teacher the teacher okay so mr floris do you remember dantra when the teacher said that they're not going to be able that the principal took away soccer at recess okay now i'm getting it okay so the principal took away soccer and mr floris is telling the class was the class happy about that no no they weren't because a lot of the kids played soccer right right and so what what action did the class take to solve that problem one of them was the we tried to convince the principal and he tried to find he tried to think of ways that people could also get hurt that's the solution that's what he used to get it okay so you would put that further down here what would what was you got it can you think back or you can look again in your text to try to find what was the first thing that they did when they found out that they couldn't play soccer anymore they were um mad and they were thinking a thing is that people could get hurt like the girls jumping rope okay now was that during that was in the class or was that part of when the principal when they were in the principal's office that was in the principal's office wasn't okay so let's think what did they do after they they found out that they can't play soccer anymore so they got upset they got upset and they tried to they went to his office who went to the office who they were and his friends who played soccer okay thank you i mean this is a totally different group of students with different skills and a rather mixed group um and i know it's just a taste of it but just to show other students a little bit older and a little more focused on the content not that the other one wasn't focused on the content because it was eventually gonna lead into that but um tell me what you see going on here um in general and in relation to the idea and the notion in or to each other so um ron would you like to comment on what's happening this this is a more uh uh direct instruction or direct comprehension lesson in which the teacher is using a protocol or a template to break down the story and you would guess maybe these readers are needing to work on their comprehension they're having trouble putting the the details and the facts of the story together um and so i i would call this a more directed lesson it's less conversational and more instructional with the teacher both controlling the topic and the terms so it is a contrast and you know there's no you know at least in our work there was never any contradiction that you had to do one or the other that that's i thought was a fallacy that depending on the students and on the point in the learning trajectory of students you would use different instructional methods well she this teacher was working uh and she was beginning her work in instructional conversation and had you know worked on this to make sure she she moved um more towards a combination so looking at the participation of the students if you see the whole date of course there's much more to see in the way that she supported them and encouraged them and brought brought them around to feel as as engaged in in the work in all of them even though they were at very different levels they were very productive for the for the lesson so brian brian how did that look to you i think one of the things we were trying to do with the notion of equitable classroom talk or we've also called it instructional conversations for equitable participation is to apply principles of equitable talk for content learning that can really transcend classroom setting you know traditionally the instructional conversation was pretty scripted in terms of where the students were like it was all small group center-based and that that made i think implementation onerous for some teachers and so obviously small group is the best to sort of experience all of the features of equitable classroom talk but i think even in a direct more directed lesson like this you can see some features for example we saw peers responding to each other you notice that one student shared a thought and then the female student corrected him and said actually it's this right and and there was a sort of shared ownership of the idea it wasn't like they were competing for you know who's right who's wrong they were building on each other's ideas and there was no sort of vying for teacher's attention and so even though this was a directed uh sort of lesson by the teacher comprehension lesson i would argue that there were features of communal talk there um where there was more peer engagement with ideas in their talk so that's really important for equity well is there anything you'd like to say with regard to your visual Bryant that uh you can see um the front from these two experiences of communal talk um what what does what does your visual help us understand yeah i mean so a lot of this builds on the work that Ron and others have done on teacher learning right so you know we know that teacher learning needs to be peer facilitated we know that teachers you know fail to implement equitable classroom talk not because they don't want to do it or because they resist but because they don't have the support they need to improve implementation over time and that support needs to be well structured settings for teachers to engage with each other using information data from their practice to improve we argue that that data should be not only student data but direct data on teaching through observation systems student surveys teacher surveys and that that data on teaching should inform teachers inquiry in these job-alike teams especially around something as complicated as equitable classroom talk you know uh improving is is a process rather than a destination and teachers need more support to get there and our hypothesis is is that a formative measurement system um as described in that figure is is a is a promising way to get there uh is there yeah an economically efficient way to get that time together to do that i mean um how do we do that with teachers i think um that implementation part of it ron you've you've thought about that and brian you've talked about learning and one of the points i want to make is by asking brian a question all that process you talk about where they get the data they work together and improve who should be driving that the teachers or somebody who's supervising them the teachers peer facilitated and i mean they may need some help right i think the challenge has been with instructional conversations is like um it can rely a lot on external expertise and some of that's helpful but you know the the materials that we give to teachers should be self-sustaining in two ways it should support peer facilitation so that teachers want to do it it doesn't feel something in post they're attentive in their own improvement rather than worrying about being compliant and secondly that teachers really need um information in and from their practice to improve it right it can't just be based on some you know external curriculum they need information like a classroom video like an observation system that they can quickly identify what to improve and how um together okay thank you that's very good uh one we do have a question um i think uh briefly you can probably come up to it from your with your background which is so good but their question is can this talking method be used with mute students with new students mute mute mute students i think not deaf students at first i thought it was deaf students but these would be mute students how would you well i would be using american sign language or some other uh verbal form it would work i i i think there's been some work on that actually to date on but i think somebody actually tried doing it so yeah well that's uh very interesting and thank you both so much for some your insights and your um findings and your thoughtfulness and looking at these interactions which uh what are tremendous efforts by uh practitioners um and teachers are all stars who to go into you know such such an experience with their students and most teachers once into it find that it is the heart of their teaching because they have this intimacy with students that they can't really have just by playground talk so um appreciate your bringing the academic uh structure to it uh and and your your visual is helpful to start thinking about that we're just scraping the surface here so maybe we need to have the more talk about this as we find out that that the interest is there and certainly um this work i did ask that last question about the economic efficiency because of course with coming up our students are so far behind but our budgets are so low so the kind of thing you're talking about brian of teachers working together and being peer assisted and maybe that this kind of staff self development is is possible without an expenditure issue because that has to be taken into consideration too with these budgets so depleted through this pandemic thank you so much um we're we're um at the aloha moment aloha time to wrap up and uh we've uh this this is the show the state of the state of Hawaii and uh we've been talking with doctors uh ronald gallimore and brian jensen about the strengths of classroom teaching that is talk-based and equitable can bring to the um success of our students in our schools i'll see you again in two weeks on the state of the state of hawaii mahalo for your attention everyone thank you


well um yeah sorry i know normally i have videos out in the morning i had an extremely busy day at work and there's a ton of news so we're just gonna jump right into it with a bunch of pokemon news including release dates for pokemon legends arceus oh boy things are heating up here in the world of nintendo all right we're not gonna sit here and make you wait a whole much longer we have some stuff to talk about we got box art for brilliant diamond and shiny pearl announcement of a dual pack which isn't surprising they did the same thing with sword and shield and yeah we'll be talking about pokemon legends arceus and the box art for that release dates everything so let's get into the recap here we have a bunch of stuff and then we'll kind of revisit something samus hunter has previously said about these pokemon games and what's going on and why today was a bit of a surprise since people were expecting this to be announced in a pokemon presents and this makes you wonder are we not going to get a pokemon presents that's something we have to start thinking about so it says the pokemon company has announced the official release dates for pokemon brilliant diamond and shiny pearl and pokemon legends arceus brilliant diamond and shiny pearl remakes of the original diamond and pearl on nintendo ds will launch on november 19th so just before black friday not a surprise uh pokemon legends arceus will follow very shortly after really shortly after on the 28th of january 2022 uh yeah legends arceus is obviously a completely new take on the series has an a vast open world version of syno and as we know uh it is now a prequel to diamond and pearl coming out after diamond and pearl but you know whatever uh yeah that's uh really really exciting stuff um i'm i gotta say i'm pretty stoked in general uh for pokemon legends arceus i don't know if it's going to be all it's cracked up to be and i know there were some people doubting it was even going to release in early 2022 well it's not just releasing in early 2022 it's basically releasing as early as it possibly can by coming out in january this does make me wonder when the heck breath of the wild's coming could it also release in november with diamond and pearl is it going to be a march release now two months after are they going to wait till after legends arceus comes out is it going to be an october release a december i have no idea right and that's assuming we're even getting it in the next year nintendo has not given us a release day for it but let's go back to the pokemon so we got some box arts as well uh up on the screen right now you can see boxers for pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl and i gotta say um they're kind of stock standard box arts it kind of looks like something in my opinion a fan could create but it looks nice the color contrast is nice you got the kind of blue and sort of the pinkish style going on with the contrasting you know diamond and pearl the logo is obviously rating pending i mean it looks nice it's nothing that you know rocks my world but they typically don't rock your world when it comes to pokemon box art it's pretty stock standard stuff where they feature like a legendary pokemon and all that so yeah it looks nice uh what's interesting obviously is the box art for pokemon legends arceus because the box of our pokemon legends arceus as you're seeing right now uh is it's kind of like fan art right it's it's not like an arrender or anything it almost looks like the animated series you know it's very interesting that they went with this style box or you got the the giant mountain volcano thing in the background obviously in the foreground you got some pokemon obviously you guys can maybe uh you know recognize citadel and citiquel i don't know i'm not very good with my pokemon names obviously pikachu and some others there as well uh it's very interesting to see this obviously you have the the the male and female dynamic because you could choose either or uh in pokemon games i'm very um i'm at this point with this game coming out right it's coming out in seven months we're seven months away from pokemon legends arceus i'm very curious you know gameplay wise last time we saw the game it was exciting it was promising but it also looked a little bit rough especially with the frame rate it really the thing it was chugging a bit now that doesn't mean that that's not some early alpha build that's going to be all ironed out by beta let alone going gold but obviously we've never seen the game this ambitious from great game freak and they have put a lot of development time supposedly three years of development time i have heard in the pokemon legends arceus so we're gonna have to wait and see what this game ends up becoming uh if it ends up being everything that's cracked up to be we've heard things about how they are trying to uh make this a big deal make this their breath of the wild uh one other thing that's really cool about all of this is they are also releasing a what they call a double pack i don't see a price listing for it just yet um you know maybe it's going to be a hundred dollars so you could save 20 bucks maybe it's just going to be 120 bucks since both in one box um i i don't know uh and there was also a small update for pokemon home uh so the mobile version of pokemon home is receiving a welcome update next month that will add new features and reward players with two special pokemon firstly a new catch calendar feature will allow you to view your pokemon arranged by the dates in which you caught them the idea here is you'll be able to track them uh when you caught your very first pokemon right up to the day you finally grab the biggest baddest legendary around it's also that you set special dates like anniversaries your birthday and the day you first met your favorite pokemon it'll also update the pokedex functionality inside the app after installing the update you'll be able to view pokemon from different angles giving you a better look at each and every monster in your collection as for special pokemon well the new update also brings with it a Bulbasaur and a Squirtle both of which can be transferred to your copy of pokemon sword or shield and both which can gain uh gigantamax when fully evolved if you're already uh got the special gigantamax charmander from leon in game you'll soon have that full set from the original uh games no specific date has been provided for the update but june's obviously coming up and we're probably gonna still get a pokemon event because we didn't see gameplay so a pokemon presents is likely i just find it interesting that before a pokemon event before e3 when they're gonna clearly show gameplay of these games that we're not like you know they're they're dropping release dates that's what i find funny this is how they chose to drop release dates and information pokemon home obviously uh being one of those things that you know you can get on your phone what's what's cool here is um samus hunter uh went out and responded to all of this uh because she's been teasing some of these updates the release dates all that jazz um you know and she goes as i said there are several updates planned for already release titles uh this is in regards to pokemon home uh they seem to be revealing several pieces of information in advance however uh they're still missing key details such as trailers and information on update dates which again that's something that i feel like is going to come into pokemon presents i'm still on the train we're getting a pokemon presents despite this information coming up today um what's also um is they is they stayed with the original period set for diamond and pearl when it first came out um and it said this announcement was actually unexpected even by samus hunter uh but she's going to try in the next couple of days to find out more updated information on the business plans for the pokemon company because she does know the pokemon company operates independently of nintendo uh so it's really hard for her to get information specifically uh in regards to that but um she did mention all the stuff that we were going to get updates on pokemon before e3 and we did this isn't the way she thought we were going to get it she thought it'd be a pokemon presents but whatever i still expect a pokemon presents and i think for the most part uh you guys kind of expect one as well so honestly i'm going to throw this up to you guys i got so many other news videos i want to get to before our podcast tonight at eight p.m uh future rule of two review uh we got a lot to talk about clearly this has been already a very busy week so we got a ton to talk about but i want to throw it to you guys what are your thoughts on these release dates are you planning on picking up brilliant diamond shining pearl are you planning on picking up pokemon legends arceus are you planning to pick up all three of the games uh what are your plans for pokemon do you use pokemon home are you excited about that pokemon home update are you sorting shield fans that would like to get squirtle uh and volvosaur through there and get the gigantic max forms and all that you guys let me know i'm not big into pokemon as of yet but pokemon legends arceus has me interested that could be the game that brings my pokemon fandom from gen one and gen two full circle again so i'm pretty excited for that one i just need to see more footage so thank you guys so much for tuning in i am with andrew robidance from nintendo prime and i got to move on to the next video so i'll catch you guys in the next one


Now, here's the key, right? Here's the key. If it can start losing the 10-day moving average, everybody see these guys? If it can start losing the 10-day moving average, that's where the big value is because if you look at the bottom of the channel all the way here and your next measure potential for a back test, you know, you're talking about a 403-400 area. So, NVIDIA is going to be super damn important for Monday for investors, you know, mostly investors because traders, yeah, we trade both sides of the market. But if NVIDIA fails to lose the 20-day moving, a 10-day moving average here, we can get a measured move here going into the 20.

In lovely Cleveland, Ohio, I'm Rich Strafilino. And I am the guest producer, Amos. And we're really happy today to be welcoming our wonderful guest. He's been on the show before. He's been on the show with me, so that makes him an extra special rarity. It is Keith Towns and the CTO advisor. Keith, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me again, Rich. All right, let's get it started with a few tech things you should know. Alphabet subsidiary Waymo received a three-year permit from the California Public Utilities Commission to participate in the state's Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Service Pilot Program, catchy name. As part of the program, Waymo may not charge passenger for rides and a human safety driver is required. Waymo is now the fourth company to join the pilot programming, joining Zooks, AutoX Technologies, and Pony AI. So Waymo kind of the most popular name, the name that would get the most recognition, I guess, from the general public there. Waymo initially plans to provide rides to employees and guests within a limited service area in the South Bay. But a spokesperson said that over time, this may expand to more riders. Google suspended Trends Alert notifications in New Zealand after it published the name of a murder suspect in violation of a court order. There's a suppression order there for those types of things in the media. The incident occurred in December 2018, so it's been a little while now. And when the name was sent, it was in the subject line of an email to anyone that subscribed to the What's Trending in New Zealand alerts. So kind of shocking there for a country with not a ton of violent crime. Microsoft's SwiftKey keyboard is rolling out a new feature called Puppets, which uses artificial intelligence, buzzword bingo there, to replicate facial movements in a 3D animated character. If that sounds familiar, it's because you've seen Apple's Animoji. At launch, users can record 30 seconds of video and choose from a panda, cat, dinosaur, owl, or dog. Clearly, dinosaur is the right option there, but it's dealer's choice. Puppet is currently only an Android feature, and I didn't see anything in the press coverage that said when or if it was coming to iOS. And finally, in everyone's and everything's fine news, MoviePass shut down services to customers as of July 4th at 5 a.m., so Independence Day from being a business, I guess. According to CEO Mitch Lowe, the shutdown will last several weeks to complete work on a new app. So they're just kind of redoing everything on a technological front. During that time, the service won't accept new signups or charge existing customers. Subscribers who have already paid for the month and are kind of in the middle of their cycle there will be automatically credited for downtime once MoviePass resumes service. And they're maintaining that they are going to resume service. Let's get into a little bit more discussion here, Keith. I wanted to talk to you about this. A new report from Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, claims that Apple will move away from butterfly keyboard switch mechanisms with the refreshed MacBook Air coming out later this year and then later into the MacBook Pro by 2020. That'll give basically a five-year lifespan to their butterfly keyboard switch tri that's been somewhat problematic. I think we can all agree. The new keyboards will be based on scissor switches, which will offer better key travel and durability, but the speculation is that they can't make those quite as thin as the outgoing butterfly design. So, Keith, it seems like every other month or so, every time there's new MacBook outs, we hear some complaints that they, or we hear speculation from Apple that they've fixed the issue with the butterfly. And then our good friend Tom Hollingsworth manages to break another keyboard, and he's back at Apple for another repair. They have official, they have an official keyboard return service basically for all MacBooks that have this keyboard. Is this just finally Apple just throwing the towel in here? If this report is true? Yeah, I would say so. What is this like the third redesign that they're on now? I have a 2017 model, which gets into a really interesting conversation around reliability, et cetera, et cetera. I literally have a surface book as a backup to my MacBook Pro because I'm a writer. And if I can't write, one, the keyboard is a horrible keyboard. And then two, if I can't write, I don't make money. So I'm sure I'm not the only one in that situation. So I'm glad that they've finally thrown in the towel. Can I get into Rich's conspiracy theory? Oh yes, Anthony, something there. No, that was a blip, go ahead. Okay, if we can get into like Rich's theory about the timing of this report, because, you know, makes you close a great track record when it comes to, you know, kind of sussing out the Apple rumor tree as it were. And the idea being that this, you know, this kind of gets leaked out or she's putting out the speculation here. Obviously she has sources within Apple. They know that when they tell her stuff at some point it's going to be reported, especially comes right after Johnny Ives announced that he's stepping down. So maybe this is, you know, kind of changing the narrative around a little bit of Apple design with the new, you know, with the new management cast kind of in place. They've already been in place for a couple of years, but I think it's interesting that maybe they get a little benefit of the narrative going forward. Next up, Keith, this is right in your alley here. Bloomberg reports that Broadcom is in advanced talks to acquire the security stalwart Symantec. The Financial Times reports that a potential acquisition price could be around $15 billion. So not exactly small change. Symantec is the largest vendor of security software with over $4 billion in sales. This will be Broadcom's second major software acquisition after acquiring CA technologies in 2018 for just under $19 billion. So, you know, if this goes through with looking at $30 billion invested in software alone, Symantec would reportedly follow the pattern of that transaction operating it more as an independent subsidiary, although coming in with some cost cutting measures to basically help them recoup their investment a little faster. So, you know, Keith, I think everyone's like, no Symantec, like, okay, that's security. Why is Broadcom all of a sudden betting heavy on software? Yeah, I think this is obvious. They're playing a game of monopoly. I'm waiting for them to buy, literally buy a railroad now. The acquisitions from kind of a synergies perspective other than obviously back off as HR really don't make any sense. The Symantec, CA actually have competing products. We don't have to get into that level of detail. But this is, they're buying cash rich or cash positive companies for something bigger. I don't know if they're gonna take another play at another chip manufacturer as the part of their core business, or if they're just getting big to save off being acquired themselves. But this is obviously just a financial play than it is one of synergies or technology strengths. Yeah, and it's interesting to note that a couple of years ago Intel tried to play like this when they acquired McAfee. Now, their plan wasn't to operate as a subsidiary. They wanted to like integrate it on a silicon level that basically flopped. They spun it out since then and kind of took a bath on that. But I also think it's interesting in the light that we're seeing the chip market kind of consolidate over the last couple of years. And maybe all of the uncertainty around Huawei in that situation is causing them to wanna have some other cash flow. That's not dependent on silicon either. Yep, and then you have Qualcomm, so there you go. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, yeah, and let's see if they try and buy each other again. Next up, I saw this all over the place. Sony announced the WF-1000XM3 noise canceling wireless earbuds, it's another catchy name. The buds use four microphones for active noise cancellation with each bud connecting to the source audio over Bluetooth 5 rather than having one bud connected and relay it to the other earbud, which can kind of be unreliable. Each earbud has a touch panel to control various functions, includes NFC for pairing and a quick attention mode to let an ambient sound without removing earbuds. That real life is rated at six hours with noise canceling enabled, eight hours without and includes a charging case that offers up to 24 hours of noise canceling power. The WM-1000XM3 costs $230. Creators are open now, shipping expected sometime in August, there weren't, I didn't see a lot of specifics there. Keith, you travel a lot for business. You know, the noise canceling headphone was basically made for the airplane. Is this tempting to you as a business traveler? You know what, there's no shortage of $250 earbuds, obviously. And I'm not a fan of Bluetooth headphones in general. I'll use them to run in, but I love wired headphones. I do have a pair of Bose, the older earbuds. Plus on top of this, these earbuds only designs just don't stay in my ear. I run and I would like to run in a pair of $230 headphones if I buy them. So no, they're not tempting me at all. I'll just continue with my $200 Bose wired headphones that don't run out of, that can still use even if the battery runs out. I've seen these kind of positioned as air pod competitors, air pods with the charging case are $199. So pretty price competitive, if you factor in the noise canceling. What's interesting here though is Keith, to your kind of use case that you were pointing out, these aren't any kind of water or sweat resistant or anything like that. So they're really not designed for that kind of, that kind of active lifestyle. I guess the power beats, this isn't really Sony trying to compete in that market. But I still think it's interesting that it's getting a lot of press. I think Sony deserve it or not, still gets a little bit of a benefit of the doubt when it comes, especially when it comes to audio. And we'll see if the proof with these Bluetooth earbuds is always in the connection. If it can have that reliable connection, if it's not dropping out, and supposedly with Bluetooth 5, streaming to both ears is supposed to be a lot more reliable. I think that's gonna really be the key to see if this is successful. Because if you look at the reviews of any of these other headphones, it's usually the connection was a nightmare by air pods because of those work. All right, next up the European Union voted against a European commission proposal to establish a Wi-Fi based standard for connected cars. The Wi-Fi standard was backed by Volkswagen, Renault, Toyota and NXP Semiconductor and voted on by the European Commission back in April. The vote by EU member states opens the door for a 5G connected car standard backed by BMW, Daimler, Ford, Intel, Huawei and Qualcomm. The 5G standard would allow both cars and devices in environments to interact with broader range of potential application support down the road. European Commission stated the reason they backed the Wi-Fi standard in part because it could be implemented immediately to help improve road safety. Surprising here to see the EU kind of turn their back against an European Commission proposal there, Keith? Yeah, you know what this stuff is, European commission and regulatory stuff always amazes me because it seems like more than any other big regulatory entity, they're able to ram things through that frankly from our US perspective, never makes sense to me. This is one of those things that probably didn't on a surface, I thought I read the article, didn't make any sense to me. The 5G standard seems to make more sense since, you know, you have more, one, you have more participants and then two, you have much better penetration in distance, I just, I kind of scratched my head as to why the Wi-Fi thing was even a thing. Well, the idea with Wi-Fi, it makes somewhat sense if you're, the only thing you're worried about is really that local network, right? If you're able to kind of dynamically put together some kind of mesh of all of these connected cars in a very specific area, you really don't, you know, if it's just for road safety, you know, for maybe navigation lane avoidance, that kind of stuff and you're only concerned about, you know, the areas maybe within, I don't know, a couple of car lengths of you, I think Wi-Fi theoretically could do that, although all that switching back and forth, again, I'm sure is a nightmare from a connectivity perspective. On a technology front, I mean, 5G is all about, right? It's all about speed and providing like tons of bandwidth with just like a single access point, right? It seems like it's kind of designed for the use cases of a connected car. It does, the story, this came from a Reuters report that I was reading this about and, you know, they mentioned, you know, that broader application support and some of it was like navigation. Oh, that makes sense. But then there was like entertainment. I don't want to use my 5G connected car for entertainment purposes necessarily or maybe I'm thinking too narrowly, Keith. Yeah, and plus I have a big investment in the zine of DVD players. I have like a thousand of them waiting on the driverless car theme to do. I hope I didn't miss the market. All right. And in May, Amazon became the lead investor and minority owner in a food delivery startup called Deliveroo because it was named by children, evidently. Now the UK's competition and markets authority, the CMA issued a preliminary order forbidding any integration between the two companies following an investigation into breaches of competition rules. In the order, the CMA stated at grounds to believe the companies were planning to merge and have quote, cease to be distinct. Until further investigation and a decision by the CMA, Deliveroo and Amazon are required to maintain the same level of service in the UK and are prevented from making changes in big contracts or senior management without express approval of the regulator. Obviously this seems like a bigger deal for Amazon not being able to do any contractual changes or senior management, at least broghting their business in the UK. But surprising to see, one, surprising to see government regulation coming this quick down the pike, you know, something in May already getting ruled on in July seems very fast for a government regulator, Keith. Yeah, and I'm glad that they're paying attention. I have mixed feelings about Amazon's delivery network. As a customer, I love one-day delivery. I love two-day delivery. I love the service that I'm getting from Amazon.  It stifles competition. I have friends that have Amazon delivery network businesses and they do well for themselves now. But I really worry about the future of where Amazon is going with that. I just, there's something about Amazon. I just don't trust the company. Well, I do think it's interesting, though, that, you know, delivery was a local start-up that had existed and then got this, you know, this round of investment from Amazon and then they took a stake in it. I do wonder, though, if by coming down to a very strong regular, and this isn't the first thing we've seen the CMA just this week, we saw them coming out saying they're investigating Facebook and Google regarding data practices and data privacy and how that's being used and doing a broader study on that too. So the CMA is definitely not afraid to take on these large technology companies, which I think is interesting in and of itself. But, you know, Keith, we all know some companies are started because they want to get bought, right? Theoretically, does this, you know, change the market for doing a delivery start-up? If you know that Amazon's off the table as a buyer? Yeah, I don't think that will slow down. There's trillions of dollars on the sidelines. Investors need somewhere to put that money and they'll continue to go in these types of companies. Money will go to money, as it were.

All right, getting into our main discussion today, you know, kind of going back to what we were talking about with Amazon just a second ago. There was an interesting report by RECode looking at the efforts that Walmart's doing to really expand their e-commerce operations and some of the struggles that they're having. Since buying Jet.com in 2016, I think the narrative around Walmart's e-commerce efforts have been, I'd say, overall pretty positive. I think that was seen as particularly forward-facing step, bringing in not only a technology platform, but also the people that kind of understand e-commerce with it as well. The company recently started offering one-day shipping with orders over $35, I believe it is, in the US and has made major brand acquisitions to kind of expand beyond the traditional Walmart customer base as well. Walmart's e-commerce market share increased 80% in the last three years and online sales were up 40% year over year this last quarter. With all that said, though, sources are telling RECode that Walmart's e-commerce division projects a $1 billion loss for 2019 on revenue between $21 and $22 billion. So it's generating a lot of revenue. It's just not profitable. It's really operating like startup at this point. The division led by Jet.com founder and CEO Mark Lohr is reportedly under pressure to cut losses with plans to sell the online clothing labels, ModCloth, which was acquired for $50 million in 2017. Walmart's e-commerce market share has increased to 4.7% this year and it makes up 5% of Walmart's overall US business. Of course, the gorilla in the room here, Keith, as you alluded to just a moment ago, is Amazon. They're the obvious threat here and the same RECode piece pointed out, they have a 38% market share and in that same period where Walmart increased by 80% to almost 5% of all e-commerce, they increased from 32 to 38%. So certainly not growing percentage-wise as fast, but just a huge, huge, the obvious dominant e-commerce player there. The other kind of points here that the article made that I thought were really interesting was that, if you're looking at fulfillment centers, Amazon has about 110 fulfillment centers in the US and Walmart is estimated to have around 20. They also use their existing retail locations as points of presence, but the footprint there, the ability to stock things that you would stock at a fulfillment center at a warehouse, they just can't match that when it comes to these retail footprints. So there's a limited utility. That helps first shipping them, kind of the mainline items, your staples of grocery and that kind of stuff, but for some of these long-tail items, which is where you can really jack up your margins and really charge a nice price, Amazon can deliver those all day. Walmart has a much harder problem with less fulfillment centers, kind of keeping those in stock and being able to deliver those in a timely fashion. So Keith, I know you had a chance to look at the piece. Doesn't paint the best picture for Walmart. Where do they go going forward if they want to stay competitive with Amazon without being locked into years and years of losing money? Yeah, you know what? This is one of those things that I'm scratching my head with Amazon, I mean, sorry, with Walmart. Walmart's revenue, you mentioned that this is making up 5% of their US business. Their overall revenue is $500 billion, over $500 billion. So a $1 billion loss, if you look at it from like the Jeff Bezos philosophy of pouring money into a point all profit back into the business and expanding the business, you wonder why Walmart just doesn't follow this roadmap that obviously worked. Walmart has advantages that Amazon doesn't. Obviously the store footprint while Amazon doesn't have, I mean, sorry, while Walmart doesn't have the fulfillment centers, Amazon envies the store footprint. That's why they bought Whole Foods and you now have some Amazon fresh stores that you can go in and buy goods from. So there's obviously some synergies that Walmart can gain, but from an investment perspective, they don't look like they want to sacrifice some of those profits. $1 billion in loss is kind of nothing for Amazon. Yeah. For Amazon or for Walmart. Well, and that's what Mark Lorre kind of the piece at least made it sound like he's been arguing with management is that we do have to run this as a startup. In fact, I was doing a little research just kind of doing some homework to see what his history with the company is. And literally the first YouTube video if you search for Mark Lorre, Walmart is we need to run this as a startup. And Amazon for years was, a lot of these startups when you're building this kind of infrastructure, again, you just have to pour that money and he's argued that they need more distribution centers. Again, those do cost billions of dollars, theoretically Walmart can afford it. But if you look at how they got to be so successful, I think if you take the other side of the argument, the reason Walmart has been successful is because they do things that make money, not necessarily those kind of long term investments. And going back, they had been making some key moves here seemingly to want to really embed themselves with e-commerce they had acquired Bonobos, Modcloth as I said in 2017 and another fashion startup, Eloquie in 2018, all of those right now were remaining unprofitable. But again, like especially like Bonobos, I mean, I remember they made a huge marketing blitz a couple of years on a bunch of podcasts and it's, it's very hip and, you know, not it's not the customer base that would necessarily shop at Walmart. So the idea being that they wanted to expand beyond maybe the traditional customer base there. And there was always this rumor going out there for about a year that was going out there or Walmart wanted to build their own streaming service, right? They already owned Voodoo, which is kind of like a, you know, a place to buy movies, but a streaming service to compete with Netflix or Amazon Prime and that kind of stuff really to build out a suite of services that would be compliment, you know, that could be a direct analog to what Amazon is trying to do. And there was a part earlier this year that they abandoned those efforts because guess what they didn't want to do, Keith? Invest money in original content and take a bath on that while they built up an audience and did that too. So it seems like, you know, that this long-term, you know, high capital and long-term losses just are against the Walmart DNA, or yeah, the Walmart DNA. The one thing I would say though is looking at what some of their retail competitors are doing, they're taking a very different approach instead of trying to build their own version of Amazon Prime. We see partnerships with companies like Instacart. We see target operating ship. They acquired shipped, which is basically a subscription shipping service that works with a bunch of other stores besides Target. You know, maybe if Walmart's not willing to commit to a level of investment to be a technology platform, they partner with one of those companies down the road and then they're still able to offer delivery, just not owning kind of the whole e-commerce stack there. Yeah, if you look at the flip side of the argument, Walmart is serving their core customer, you know, I think the digital effort is a good way to take a look at that.  And I went to go add his phone numbers back to his phone. It was a flip phone. So, you know, you look at a Walmart, typical Walmart and digital piece, if I wanted to go rent a movie, I or you would probably, one, we'd probably go on Plex first. Then after we checked on Plex, we take a look on, you know, one of the many rental services. If my father-in-law wanted to rent a movie, he'd drive up to Walmart and he'd go to this thing called Rentbox and rent a physical disc for $2 or $3 a day, whatever the rate is. So I think Amazon has shown the way how to grab that one segment of the market. And Walmart, I think, is kind of laser-focused. And then this in-between, stay trying to figure out this, how they serve their market in a digital world. You know, Keith, this kind of digital transformation can be tough for a lot of companies. As we all well know. It'll be interesting to see if how their e-commerce plans and their ambitions change, you know, if this reporting is to be believed, if Mark Lorre is either on the way out or having a role changed or what kind of scale they wanna operate at. So that'll be interesting to see. Thanks for all those who participate though in our subreddit. It's invaluable when we're putting together this show.

Let's check out our mail bed. We had several people write in about using Uber Eats in their particular situation. So thank you for your feedback. We had Kimberly, the Texas teacher, who said the idea of us ordering in the morning and pre-paying, and I think that also maybe reserve a table, would make things so much easier. I see this working at fancier restaurants, not on a spur of the moment, the way we think of Uber Eats now. Instead, a couple of days before you go, or you're going to a theater or something like that, you make your reservation at your high-end restaurant.  They work backwards and then pad that time a little extra and give you your reservation time. The restaurant can prepare ahead of time and know exactly what they're going to serve. I think an old-fashioned pre-arranged set dinner before going to theater, but everyone gets to order what they want. I think that's a really cool idea. Again, I don't know if Uber Eats is the company to do that, but yeah, kind of reversing a lot of the order of operation, I guess, for a traditional restaurant experience. I think it was kind of a cool idea. All right, well, Keith, thank you so much for being on the show. If people are interested in checking out your great stuff, where can they find you?

The purpose of this video is to explain the difference between two types of architectures that current microprocessors are having, which are called SISC and RISC. Let's first recall that a microprocessor is a digital circuit that is capable of executing very fast what we call machine instructions. These machine instructions, typically the way they look is initially they have an operation code, sometimes we just call it the opcode, and then they have several parameters, parameter 1 to parameter k. So this notion of instruction is what the microprocessor out there can execute. But then the question comes what kind of catalog is offered by the different microprocessors of these instructions to execute. And here is where these two different approaches emerge. The first approach, the CISC or SISC, is the acronym for complex instruction set computer. And the name is self-explanatory. The microprocessor with the CISC architecture offer the capacity to execute a fairly rich set of instructions, each of one is also capable of implementing sophisticated operations. Let's get an example. This is taken from a real microprocessor. Let's take a look at this machine instruction. Add $4, 14, %eax, %ebx, 8. As we can see this instruction follows the pattern we just described up there. The operation code in this case is add. The instruction is performing an addition and the parameters we described here are made up of these symbols in this expression. What this instruction is doing is the following. It's taking the number 14, it adds 14+, this is a register. The content of this register is added to the 14, eax, plus ebx is another register. And its value is multiplied by this number 8 we see at the end. And the result is added to a eax and 14. The result of this operation is a memory address. And the overall instruction is adding the number 4 to the data stored on this memory address. So again as we can see the microprocessor capable of executing this instruction has to perform several arithmetic operations. One addition, another addition, a multiplication and another addition plus an access to memory first to obtain the operand because we are adding the number 4 to whatever is stored in memory. So we first have to go to memory, get the operand, perform this addition and then deposit the result again in memory. So from the point of view of a microprocessor this is considered a complex machine instruction. Although there is no written rule about what it constitutes as complex or a simple machine instruction, the guideline here is that as you can see there are several arithmetic operations that are involved in its execution. So typically the microprocessors that have a SISC architecture, they provide a large number or a very rich catalog of instructions and some of them can do sophisticated operations like this one. Now large number of instructions means that it takes longer to execute. These type of instructions as you can see they have to perform several arithmetic operations, they have to go to memory, come back. So in this example we can see that it takes a little bit longer than another instruction that might perform some much more simplified operation. Now examples of architectures of this type are some of them that are recent, some other that are not so recent. For example IBM had a system called System360 that used microprocessors of type SISC. But perhaps the most famous one is the architecture of the personal computer back in the 70s which was called X86. Then it evolved into another architecture which was called AI32 which is where this example is taken from. And this architecture evolved into something else called AMD64 or X8664 or some other names. So these are just some examples just to show that these microprocessors are being used today. Now the interesting thing about this is that when we compare it to the alternative a very interesting trade-off appears. What is the alternative? Well rather than having a large and complex set of instructions the risk microprocessors appear as an alternative to this type of philosophy. And the acronym stands for Reduce Instruction Set Computer. So as we can see the philosophy here is in many senses the opposite is in here. Rather than having a microprocessor or a digital circuit capable of executing a large and complex set of instructions. What this type of architecture is going to propose is to use fewer instructions. So in other words this catalog we mentioned at the beginning will be much shorter and each one of them will be simpler. And this is perhaps the key observation. So rather than going for a large catalog of complex instructions the Reduce Instruction Set Computers propose using a much reduced set of instructions. And therefore each one of them performs much simpler operations. Now let me give you an example of the type of operations that would be carried out by a risk computer. This would be an example. As in the case of a SISC computer we saw here this is also performing an addition. But rather than adding a number to a location in memory this operation is only adding the content of register R7. This is what we mean by R7 here to the content of register in R5. Or another way of specifying that would be R5 takes the value of R5 plus R7. So in this example we already see the difference between the two philosophies. Here we have convoluted and sophisticated operations that do fairly interesting things. Whereas in here we have very simple operations. It is as if in this architecture what we want is to take very small steps when carrying out a computation. Now as I said before the interesting thing about these two architectures is appears when we compare them to each other. So if I want to carry out let's just say a generic complex task in this microprocessor. Well chances are I need to write of course a sequence of instructions. These instructions would be written here. And this instruction would have certain, this sequence would have certain size. If I am using complex operations that can perform sophisticated calculations it is very likely that this sequence will have a size or the number of instructions required is smaller, much smaller than the number of instructions or the size of the sequence that I need to perform exactly the same task in the RISC architecture. I will have again instructions but the size here is probably much longer. And the rationale is very intuitive. I can pack many more steps in one single instruction here therefore my sequence of instructions is smaller. Whereas in here if I take very small steps I probably need many more instructions to implement exactly the same task. However, even though we might think that this is worse because we are using many more instructions there is also another interesting trade-off. If my instructions are simpler they are also fast to execute. Why? Well because the type of operations that we are doing here is very simple. Whereas in here instructions in general take longer to execute. Why? Because it is a matter of packaging right? Here we are doing several operations in just one instruction whereas in here we need to execute several instructions to carry out perhaps the same calculation as in here. So here we have the trade-off and there is no clear winner. The two architectures are not comparable or not at the point of counting the number of instructions that are required. We will always get more instructions in the RISC world than in the SISC world. But there is another interesting trade-off. These instructions being simpler they are also very fast to decode. And by decode what we mean is that the microprocessor will have a much simpler task to detect what kind of instruction has been received in order to execute it. For two reasons. The first one is because we have a reduced set and the other one is because these instructions are simpler so we decode them very fast. Whereas in here probably we need some sophisticated decoding. So again we can see clearly the trade-off. In principle the circuit here is simpler to design. Whereas in here these microprocessors tend to be more complex because they have to deal with a much more complex type of execution. But as I said before there is not a clear winner between one philosophy and the other and today the two philosophies coexist. There is one little additional category that is worth mentioning which is orthogonal to SISC and RISC architectures which is the definition of or the classification of the microprocessor depending on the size of their instructions. We have two different types of microprocessors. Those that have fixed format for their instructions or length and those that have variable length for their instructions. And as you can see a RISC computer is much more likely to be close to this philosophy because if I have my instructions being very simple and all of them having a small number of operands it is very likely that all of them or most of them if not all will be encoded with a fixed format. Whereas in the SISC philosophy since I have so many instructions and some of them are so complex it is very likely that I have a wide variety of operands and that will force me to encode these instructions with variable length. So even though there is again not a written rule that tells you that every RISC computer has fixed format instructions and SISC computer has a variable length instruction these other classification based on the length of the instruction is also a feature that distinguishes microprocessors from each other and in some cases they go hand in hand with RISC and SISC. Let me finish just by give some examples of the typical RISC architectures that we have now and some of them would be for example the very well-known MIPS more recent one is ARM and an interesting one as well is the AVR Biomea.


Gun smoke brought to you by L and M filters This is it L and M is best Stands out from all the rest around dark city and in the territory on west There's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers And that's with a US Marshal and the smell of gun smoke starring William Conrad transcribed story of the violence that moved west with young America and The story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man Matt Dillon the United States Marshal the first man they look for and the last they want to meet It's a chance a job And it makes a man watchful Had a little lonely ain't that box buggy setting up by Joe Crumley's a shack there. Huh? Yeah, must be Masters like them couldn't afford a buggy That is yeah, let's stop and see what's going on. All right, sir. I bet old Doc will be surprised to see us way out here Yeah, it's not much of a place crumbly he's got there isn't Ain't better quit you ask me now. Let's time to the buggy Chester. It's Matt Dillon miss crumbly All right, doc. Wait a fort lawn at we saw Doc's buggy. So who is it always stop and say hello How do you do ma'am?  Oh Sorry to hear that man. Doc done all he could just Just weren't no use. I might as well not have come. I Couldn't do a thing for him. Not doc don't say that you've been up 24 hours trying to save it It's not time that saves a patient mrs. Crumbly It's knowledge Knowledge I don't have you know what there is no doc. Nobody knows more their husband's dead mrs. Crumbly. I Wanted to say who you tried What are you gonna do now ma'am? Can't we help you in any way? Thank You marshal There's nothing With Joe gone I can't stay here. I reckon in a day or so up I'll pack up and move on. I I don't know where I'll go. I've got no place Excuse me. I gotta go Poor lady He didn't have to die. It's not your fault. Well, then whose fault is it? I'd like to know doc you're not making sense It's being a doctor that doesn't make sense Spending my life trying to look into the faces of people like mrs.  Yeah, sure doc Come on, Chester. How long you're gonna be going Matt? Maybe a week Mm-hmm when you get back to dodge I'll buy you a drink. Thanks doc If I'm still there You do sir that this is just a profit just a I ain't doing I Came by before Marshall, but your office was locked up. Well, we've been away. We just got back What can I do for you, mr. Bachelor? Why nothing sir only wanted to meet you. I met most everybody in dodge, but now I've been getting acquainted.  Well, not exactly Marshall I'm a professional man What what? That is I'm a doctor Chester. I know well we are we've got a doctor. Yes, indeed Well gentlemen, it's been a pleasure meeting you both and I'm sure we'll be good friends. I I would mind to buy you both a drink next time we meet Good day gentlemen Good day Dr. Betchell, you know, it's a funny thing Chester What? Doc said he'd buy me a drink when I got back. He did. Yeah If he's still here, he said it stands out from all the rest Miracle tears much more flavor. L&M's got everything. It's the best.  It's the best Rihonda, it's Doc's but a window there Alley hasn't left. No, sir Hey, there's Miss Keef out there in the back there. See.  I'll join you in a couple of minutes. All right. Good to see you back How are you kitty? Well, I'm all right, but I'm the only one. Oh, what do you mean? I mean Doc. He's acting like a bear. Oh Ask him to sit with me when he came in But he just grumbled something about not being fit company for anybody and he went over there and settled by himself You know, he's been like that for a week. Yeah He took Joe Crumley's dying pretty hard kitty That's just part of that It's new doctor Betel ever since he came Doc's been getting grumpier Maybe he's been losing patience Special and Doc's never had any competition before He's got it now look what Yeah Now what's he up to? You know, he's got to stay away from doc if he knows what's good for him. Maybe he's only trying to be friendly I don't want to talk to you There's gonna be a fight in a minute Matt. Yeah, I better go see what this is all about. Let me know if you find out Maybe I'll start carrying a gun Betel. Hello, Doug Hello there Marshall Sit down Betel Thank you, sir. I was about Just what are you buttoning on this format? Why don't you go rest some drunks or do what you're supposed to be doing? It's good to see you doc. No, it is Hey doc, there's Jake worth out there. He's beckoning to you. Why don't you go see what he wants chest? Yes, sir Who is Jake worth I don't think I've met him. Uh, Jack's a rancher one of the biggest in the country Yes, you ought to meet him Betel. Yes, he's worth a lot of money Doc, there's enough here for both of us. He just won't be reasonable about reason about what Betel about my practice in here I don't see why we should be in competition. Do you have if there are two doctors in the place? I guess they're bound to be in competition. Oh two doctors now. We're just a moment everybody I've talked to admits there's more work here than one man can handle Yeah, I guess that's true. No, sure. Yes. That's true. I of course it is. I've already got some patients Now my idea is to split the practice in a friendly way and then really go to work We still have more than either of us could do. Tell him the rest Betel. Oh, yes, tell him the real idea Well, sir, since we will be given people better care and all that's only fair. We get paid more for it What do you mean? He wants me to agree to a raise and fees Matt. Yes, a raise He wants to make a lot of money Everybody pays more than they can afford or they stay sick according to him. Well now, why shouldn't they pay more? We'd you get the idea that being a doctor's like running a business there's nothing wrong with a doctor's making a living Is there you haven't even proved to me that you are dr. Betel. Are you going to stop that again? He's one of these bleedin blister men Matt.  Well, I'm just not going to stand for any more of your talk. Well, what are you going to do about it? I'm going to insist on yes. What is it just Jake worth it brought his boy to see? Jake Which boy? Billy You know dr. Bill The puny sickly one Jake says he's getting worse. He's took to have him fit slightly He's got him in a wagon outside All right Chester, I think I'll go with you doc. You'll be a better company than staying here You're jealous Adams. You're jealous and what's more you're greedy. That's enough That's why sure you're on his side Marshall, but I don't care.  Yeah You're being pretty hard Not hard enough Hello, Jake Marshall. Hi Jake. I just couldn't leave him here alone doc I never know when he's gonna have one of them fits again. They come on terrible sudden. I Got him in back of the wagon Wait a minute Jake. What's the matter doc?  Oh, I'm sorry, Jacob. I'm real sorry Maybe I can do something mr. Weir Who are you? My name is Betchell Jameson Betchell. I'm the new doctor. Oh sure.  Weirth I can tell you there's always something that can be done for any patient. Well, that's a lie. Let him talk doc At least he's willing to try. There's nothing to try. I tell you medicine doesn't understand cases like your boy yet Jealous of dr. Betchell ain't you? Oh, my jealous Well, that's what I've heard folks saying. I didn't believe it at first, but I do know Jake I've heard all I need to know about Betchell's doctrine around here And I don't think he should be practicing at all. I've told you to stop saying now wait a minute Betchell Let him talk. Well, I don't want to hear no more talk No wonder so many folks are turning away from you doc. They need somebody who will help him. That's why you think Bleeding your boy is gonna help me. There's other ways to treat him besides bleeding like what well if you don't happen to know I don't come on dr. Betchell get to work on the boy I certainly miss the word perhaps be better if you drive him home first. I'll get my horse and follow Anything you say doctor Yeah, doc I'm gonna take down my shingle and I mean it this time. Oh now doc you can't do that You just come and watch once doc made up his mind about something. There was no talking him out of it He took down his shingle. All right But nobody seemed to care much So two days later when Betchell nearly doubled his fees Then everybody blamed it on doc somehow and got mad at him But that didn't bother doc He started going to bed early and sleeping late for a change And most of his time was spent in my office playing penny-annie poker with Chester He wouldn't even talk about it Till the day I heard something I thought might rouse him. I went back to tell him about it Mr. Dillon you are getting this game. This is the easiest money I ever made That's a while get it back to the whole 90 cents Yes, man, you know, Miss Cullen. This is telling me. Well, I Brought it back to life half dozen times Or do you won't have to learn more doc? What's happened? She died about noon today She did Dr. Betchell decided a good bleeding was what she needed bleeding Our boy told me no wonder she died. She couldn't stand that Why didn't she send for me? Oh, maybe she'd heard that you'd quit. I'd have gone if she'd wanted me The only reason I quit is so people to find out in a hurry what kind of a doctor this betchell is You take them twice as long if I was still on the job And the sooner they find out the less harm he'll be able to do. What about miss Cullen?  I Didn't thought about it that way I'm gonna go to the alfagans and have me a drink anybody want to join me to the thousands of smokers who are Changing to L&M every day to the millions who now smoke L&M Here is your assurance L&M gives superior filtration because of its superior filter Superior taste because of L&M superior tobaccos.

Yes, L&M's got everything Superior taste superior tobacco superior filter. That's why it's America's best filter tip cigarette Try L&M today. Shouldn't be spending money. Can't think for better time spend it All right, Sam.  Oh, I haven't noticed it so much lately. Yeah, I told you it might go away by itself Well, you said there was nothing you could do for it. So I went to see dr. Batchel. Yeah, I suppose he fixed it Told me to mix some cold water and vinegar and salt and rub it with that Vinegar Also been taken unicorn root and cayenne pepper.   I'll get to your drinks now Well, doc, there's one man who's found out one isn't enough man Ah Hello, Jake, you got to come out to the ranch doctor. You got to come up now Why what's wrong? It's the boy Dylan oh Well, I can't go Jake course you can't it's not my case I told dr. Batchel not to come back no more. I told him on my way in here I guess you didn't make it too clear Jake. What I might have known that this was what you had in mind What are you doing here? You're after dr. Adams to take care of Billy and I sure am well He's not going to do it. You tell me what I'm gonna do that. You'll have to what you done to that boy It's a wonder. He's still alive. I should have stopped you right off. What did he do Jake?   I'll stand up from two.  Why are you all right hold it back?  I'm with it. That's it. I'll tell you open Adam's I'm out of known a doctor would be carrying a knife. He ain't no more doctor than I am Chester history when he comes to lock him up. We'll throw him on the first stage leave him Dutch I'll do it with pleasure. Mr. Dillon Will you come now doc? You'll understand Jake.  I should have listened to you in the first place doc There are a lot of people who should have Jake That's true Marshall. Will you come down? You can keep those drinks Sam. I don't have time to waste in here anymore This is William Conrad as you may know gun smoke is going into its second year on radio Now during this time many of you have written the makers of Chesterfield and Ellinem filters Asking them to put gun smoke on television too Well, here's some good news for you Gun smoke is going on TV Starting Saturday September 10th 10 p.m. Eastern Time over the CBS television network If you enjoy our radio shows, I know you'll go for gun smoke on TV Now TV will have an authentic adult Western the gun smoke, you know Remember next week gun smoke radio at this time and in two weeks gun smoke TV at 10 p.m. Eastern Time Both brought to you by Liggett and Myers makers of Chesterfield and Ellinem filters Produced and directed by Norman McDonald stars William Conrad as Matt Dillard US Marshall Our story was specially written for gun smoke by John Meston with music composed and conducted by Rex Corey Sound patterns by Tom Hanley and Bill James Featured in the cast were Lawrence Dobkin James Nussar Frank Katie and Ann Morrison Harley Bear is Chester Howard McNair is Doc and Georgia Ellis is Kitty Put a smile in your smoking Next time you buy cigarettes stop Remember only Chesterfield is made the modern way with accurate This amazing quality detective electronically checks and controls the making of your Chesterfield Giving a uniformity and smoking quality never possible before For the first time you get a perfect smoke column from end to end From the first puff to the last puff Chesterfield smoke smoother Chesterfield smokes cooler Chesterfield is best for you Next time you buy cigarettes Stop remember Chesterfield is made the modern way with accurate Put a smile in your smoking.

Today people, we take a look at a new addition to the Jakub Sniper family and with the wedding invitation at the top of that list of snipers in my opinion, the Unseen Threat has a big name to knock off that list. Has it gone guys, my name's DPJ and today I bring you another BF3 video. If you do enjoy leaving a like really helps me out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the Unseen Threat is an exclusive Jakub Sniper rifle to the guns, love and tentacles DLC and for me this dropped from a Mac, a dude who I've already posted a video on, being an amazing legendary farm for all these new legendaries. I've seen this drop from him quite often to be honest, now it's probably a world drop too but that at the moment I cannot confirm. So let's check out this new sniper. That was on paper it's quite a powerhouse rolling with at 6409 damage on this particular variant. With some amazing accuracy too, mag size is hefty also which is always good on snipers this kind, though slower than normal firing snipers we are used to seeing over the past few months, mainly the recently buffed Malouan variants. Taste their fear. This weapon ricochets three bullets to nearby enemies, but what else does this do? Against the test dummy it's quite clear what this does, every critical hit it spawns three tracking rockets that do around 20k damage to the body each. The quick damage of the sniper itself does around 4k damage, so it's truly capable. So a per headshot these rockets targeting and hitting a body of the enemy will do about 130-150% additional damage in total which is great. Now using this against grave ward, although I ain't set up at best I can to deal maximum damage in terms of sniper rifles and so forth as I'm currently limited to what I have items wise on PC. I can't test this to the fullest like I could on Xbox. But what I can tell you is, this thing does indeed get to work. The only other weapon I've seen bog out grave ward like you will see in a second due to overwhelming DPS was indeed the wedding invitation. Check that clip out on screen now. Not just efficient against grave ward is, your everyday adds take some punishment too. I obviously wouldn't recommend a sniper rifle like this to use within the slot shaft of the Malawan raid, but running through levels and maps where enemies don't overwhelm you is a great weapon for sure, definitely an amazing backup weapon. I'm loving the fact it now seems most new additions in terms of legendaries are really unique.  But all in all guys it is an incredible sniper rifle, but the question is, is it better than a wedding invitation? I'd personally say no, not to me it isn't, but I do feel that that could be argued for sure. It all just depends on what you need a sniper for. The fact you get your ammo back though per crit hit under wedding invitation makes it more useful to me. With this I would definitely say it's more powerful out of the two snipers, but even so it's up there people and it's powerful, it's unique and let's face it, it looks pretty solid too. I absolutely love the design of this. So yes people those are my thoughts on the unseen threat, the new jacob sniper rifle exclusive to the guns love and tentacles dlc, and on that note we have come to the end of the video people, if you guys did enjoy it leaving a like really helps out, if you're new around here and want to see more about it then be sure to subscribe if you never want to miss a video or upload, you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button.

What is going on everybody? Just woken up. It's Wednesday hump day and I've got a day off which is good and I'm feeling Feeling tired. I'm actually feeling really dehydrated right now So I thought what better time to do a weigh-in, but right now if I look at my little board here That I haven't used for the last few days February 19th, which was Friday, I was 90.2 and that's coming down 0.3 of the kg in five days So when I saw that result I sort of thought well, you know Sunday's gonna roll around and I'm probably not gonna have lost too much at all Since then, you know, I've been pretty good on the diet. I've started cardio. I've probably done three or four sessions since then so I Think it's a good time to weigh myself So let's do that 89.6 let's try that again same one so officially That is under 90 kilograms and under 200 pounds, which is a good feeling but Obviously I am dehydrated right now. I probably I probably sound like it got a little bit of a cold coming on. I don't know but Still a good feeling seeing as I had seen 98 kilograms on the scales at around about Christmas time.  I sort of thought I wanted you know what I wanted to do I wanted for once to see whether I could extend the profile of My chin with a beard and then like have it come back up like that and then I don't know I just thought I quite like to look on people and thought it might work for me It kind of hasn't To be fair, I want it to grow here as well and it doesn't and also around here.  So I've got a haircut book today I'm gonna sort this out myself then I'm gonna get my hair sorted out and then I'm gonna go and see the bank manager to See what situation I'm actually in what financial situation.  It's amazing even though I found out I'm in a worse position than I was You know at the end of the day. I'm actually feeling better than I did so It's all good My license is not suspended anymore I've got a few payment plans in place.  You saw it here first But done it now No tears No tears only dreams
