US equities were mostly higher in Tuesday trading as stocks ended a bit off best levels. Big tech regulatory scrutiny, though fallout expected to be cushioned by looming administration change. October housing starts posted bigger decline than expected, tabbed to hurricane impact with South starts down 64K m/m, or more than 42K m/m total national decline.
Hey Folks, we are finally due for a "relaxing" week in AI, no more HUGE company announcements (if you don't consider Meta Movie Gen huge), no conferences or dev days, and some time for Open Source projects to shine. (while we all wait for Opus 3.5 to shake things up) This week was very multimodal on the show, we covered 2 new video models, one that's tiny and is open source, and one massive from Meta that is aiming for SORA's crown, and 2 new VLMs, one from our friends at REKA that understands videos and audio, while the other from Rhymes is apache 2 licensed and we had a chat with Kwindla Kramer about OpenAI RealTime API and it's shortcomings and voice AI's in general.

Bitcoin is catching its breath, price-wise, still unable to break through the $64K resistance, but also avoiding retesting the $60K support. Still, this may be the calm before the storm as several analysts predict a big finale this month. Elsewhere, the HBO Bitcoin documentary was finally released and the person "unveiled" (very much in inverted commas) as Satoshi Nakamoto wasn't any of the favorites on Polymarket! Speaking of Polymarket, new data shows only 12.7% of wallets on the platform are in profit. So, for all of this and much more, carve out just 10 minutes from your day.Further reading:BTC price retests $62K as Bitcoin preps 'very high impact' month endBitcoin following ‘perfect script' to chart $150K all-time high this cycle — AnalysisPeter Todd named Satoshi Nakamoto in HBO documentaryExperts hint Donald Trump consider Robinhood exec to lead SEC: ReportOnly 12.7% of crypto wallets report profits on PolymarketThis episode is sponsored by Unlimit.

Bitcoin's price hit its head on $64K resistance again, so our markets experts take a look at why, and the reason isn't what many think. Within 24 hours of the HBO documentary that may or may not unmask Satsoshi Nakamoto, Len Sassaman's odds tank and are overtaken by Nick Szabo after the documentary's producer made a comment on CNN.

This week's EYE ON NPI will take you to Infinity and Beyond, with Infineon PSoC™ 4000T Microcontrollers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/infineon/psoc-4000t-microcontrollers) and the CY8CPROTO-040T eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/qhfjbt39) specifically designed to get you started with the 4000t series microcontrollers and using the Infineon-neé-Cypress CapSense technology for capacitive touch buttons and slider. The Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series of microcontrollers are based around the classic Arm Cortex M0+ core, running at 48 MHz and with 64K flash, 8K of SRAM. So, a great microcontroller for simple products/white goods that don't need USB or a graphical display, like headphones, rice cookers, tea kettles or electric toothbrushes. The chip is optimized for capacitive touch sensing, with timers and lots of capsense inputs, but not a ton of other peripherals: there's only two serial blocks that can be configured as I2C/UART/SPI, and no ADC/DAC or USB or CAN. As long as your product is intended to be low-cost, and simple, that's probably just fine! The real star of the show on these chips is the CapSense peripheral (https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/microcontroller/sensing-controller/capsense-controllers/capsense/), which has up to 16 inputs - out of 21 GPIO! These can be configured as "CSD-type" self-capacitance sigma-delta buttons or sliders, or as "CSX-type" mutual-capacitance X-Y grids (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOOZII8cvT4). Capacitive sensing is great when you want products that react to touch without needing large and breakable tactile switches. For example, touch sensors on headphones can determine when they are inserted into the ear and when a finger is touching the body to pause or adjust volume (https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-The_touch_sensing_HMI_in_wearable_and_IoT_devices-Whitepaper-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c8a44f57b018a5f0711243a0f). Unlike buttons or encoders, there's no risk of eventual mechanical failure, rending a product useless: with a smooth clean surface you can still provide a full UI with low cost and maintenance. The Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series comes with the 5th generation of CapSense, which features autonomous DMA function in deep sleep, great responsivity, and moisture resistance. One downside of classic capacitive touch solutions is false 'ghost' triggering or sluggish 'touch blindness' when the touch surface is wet. This is a common issue with products that end up being used in a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, while exercising or outside. That's because droplets of water have capacitance on the order of the human finger and so each droplet looks like a touch. Most capacitive sense implementations have a slow self-zeroing drift calibration procedure, but they don't handle sudden water sprays. CapSense 5th gen, by comparison, will maintain the same raw capacitive count even when there's spray, mist or droplets! Another neat feature is the autonomous sensing block, which allows ultra low deep sleep current of 6uA with touch-to-wake. Instead of powering up the whole core to do the capacitive touch reading and averaging in the main process thread, readings are done in a zombie mode so that we only wake up when touches are detected. If your next product design needs a reliable capacitive touch interface, the CapSense 5th gen-powered Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/infineon-technologies/CY8CPROTO-040T/22158824) is an excellent low-power Cortex M0+ chip that can act as the main processor of your product with high integration for a tiny BOM at an attractive price. You can get started fast by picking up a CY8CPROTO-040T eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/j5hfb704) that has a programming/debug interface as well as button, slider and proximity sensing CapSense element. Order today and your CY8CPROTO will ship immediately, so that you can get started with your development by tomorrow afternoon!
This week's EYE ON NPI will take you for a SPIN around the block - it's STMicroelectronics' STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stspin32g0-three-phase-bldc-controller) series of chips, featuring 250 or 600 V three-phase BLDC FET controllers with integrated embedded STM32 MCU! These chips are an 'all in one' solution to advanced motor control when you want to have sensors and tight integration, or a super tiny footprint. As budding robotics hobbyists, we've designed and stocked many products - like this Motor Shield (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1438) - to support a variety of small DC motors. Some well known varieties are: Hobby Servos, DC brushed motors, and steppers. Hobby servos are actually just DC brushed motors with a feedback circuit, so we'll ignore those. DC brushed motors are simple: apply a positive DC voltage to the two wires, and the rotor spins one way. Apply a negative voltage, they spin the other way. As you can expect from the name, inside are brushes, that connect from the rotating center to the two permanent magnets on the outer diameter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor). This makes them inexpensive, and very easy to use: simply PWM the voltage to change the speed, invert the voltage to change direction. Nothing more complex than an H-bridge is required. But the brushes do eventually wear out, or oxidize, or splinter. Which means the motors will eventually 'die' and need replacement. Fine for toys and simple products that have low usage, but not appropriate for white goods or automotive or anything where life-time and reliability are essential! Stepper motors are a tad more complex: in order to have precise movement, they use a bank of 4 electromagnetic coils to 'step' the axle around a little bit at a time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor). No brushes to replace! But they don't rotate fast: the point is they have small accurate steps, and they're kinda expensive. What if we could combine DC brushed motors and steppers to create... Brushless DC Motors? Wow, so smart! That's exactly what a BLDC is, a DC motor that has no brushes, but does have multiple windings that have to be synchronized right to rotate. They're a little more expensive than brushed motors, but not significantly. The biggest cost increase is in the driver complexity because you need to drive and sequence three branches, whereas the commutator/brushes on a brushed motor handles that for you. Normally folks will use their favorite microcontroller, then wire it up to a BLDC driver (https://www.digikey.com/short/3bf72p89), like the L6235Q (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/L6235QTR/2772201) which can push 2.5A per-bridge at up to 52V. But, wouldn't it be nifty if you didn't have to do any wiring, so that even for small designs, you can have a fully integrated motor controller with your main microcontroller. Or, you could use the microcontroller as an I2C or SPI peripheral that integrates the temperature/current/voltage/torque monitoring that you would normally have to manage as a interrupt-run thread on a main core. That's what we've got here with the STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/short/977t8ftv) series of chips. It's a ARM Cortex M0 STM32G031C8 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STM32G031C8U6/10300273) running at 64MHz and 64K flash / 8K SRAM, with standard peripherals, debug, and even some 5V-friendly GPIO. Inside, the STM is bonded to the control circuitry so that 3 sides are used for microcontroller interfacing, and the fourth side is high-voltage friendly with separated pads. Program it just like any other STM32G031C8, and just define the motor control pins to the bonded wires. And then you'll need to connect the 6 power IGBT/FETs to create the 3 driving half-bridges such as STGD6M65DF2 (https://www.digikey.com/short/7dwq7zw2) Are you ready to have a super-integrated BLDC driver board that comes with a top-notch Cortex-M0 and all the power-driving experience ST has to offer? You're in luck because the STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stspin32g0-three-phase-bldc-controller) is in stock right now at DigiKey for immediate shipment. Check out the all-in-one EVSPIN32G06Q1S1 eval board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/EVSPIN32G06Q1S1/22470459) if you want to immediately start testing out the STSPIN32G0. Then place your order today so you can start putting your own spin on motor driving by tomorrow afternoon.
Happy LLama 3 day folks! After a lot of rumors, speculations, and apparently pressure from the big Zuck himself, we finally can call April 18th, 2024, LLaMa 3 day! I am writing this, from a lobby of the Mariott hotel in SF, where our annual conference is happening called Fully Connected, and I recorded today's episode from my hotel room. I really wanna shout out how awesome it was to meet folks who are listeners of the ThursdAI pod and newsletter subscribers, participate in the events, and give high fives. During our conference, we had the pleasure to have Joe Spisak, the Product Director of LLaMa at Meta, to actually announce LLaMa3 on stage! It was so exhilarating, I was sitting in the front row, and then had a good chat with Joe outside of the show

It'll be super fun!Back to our regular schedule, we covered a LOT of stuff today, and again, were lucky enough to have BREAKING NEWS and the authors of said breaking news (VB from HuggingFace and Emozilla from Yarn-Mistral-128K) to join us and talk a little bit in depth about their updates![00:00:34] Recap of Previous Week's Topics[00:00:50] Discussion on AI Embeddings[00:01:49] Gradio Interface and its Applications[00:02:56] Gradio UI Hosting and its Advantages[00:04:50] Introduction of Baklava Model[00:05:11] Zenova's Input on Distilled Whisper[00:10:32] AI Regulation Week Discussion[00:24:14] ChatGPT new All Tools mode (aka MMIO)[00:35:45] Discussion on Multimodal Input and Output Models[00:36:55] BREAKING NEWS: Mistral YaRN 7B - 128K context window[00:37:02] Announcement of Mistral Yarn Release[00:46:47] Exploring the Limitations of Current AI Models[00:47:25] The Potential of Vicuna 16k and Memory Usage[00:49:43] The Impact of Apple's New Silicon on AI Models[00:51:23] Introduction to New Models from Nius Research[00:51:39] The Future of Long Context Inference[00:53:42] Exploring the Capabilities of Obsidian[00:54:29] The Future of Multimodality in AI[00:58:48] The Exciting Developments in CodeFusion[01:06:49] The Release of the Red Pajama V2 Dataset[01:12:07] The Introduction of Luma's Genie[01:16:37] Discussion on 3D Models and Stable Diffusion[01:17:08] Excitement about AI Art and Diffusion Models[01:17:48] Regulation of AI and OpenAI Developments[01:18:24] Guest Introduction: VB from Hug& Face[01:18:53] VB's Presentation on Distilled Whisper[01:21:54] Discussion on Distillation Concept[01:27:35] Insanely Fast Whisper Framework[01:32:32] Conclusion and RecapShow notes and links:* AI Regulation* Biden Executive Order on AI was signed (Full EO, Deep dive)* UK AI regulation forum (King AI speech, no really, Arthur from Mistral)* Mozilla - Joint statement on AI and openness (Sign the letter)* Open Source LLMs* Together AI releases RedPajama 2, 25x larger dataset (30T tokens) (Blog, X, HF)* Alignment Lab - OpenChat-3.5 a chatGPT beating open source model (HF)* Emozilla + Nous Research - Yarn-Mistral-7b-128k (and 64K) longest context window (Announcement, HF)* LDJ + Nous Research release Capybara 3B & 7B (Announcement, HF)* LDJ - Obsidian 3B - the smallest open source multi modal model (HF, Quantized)* Big CO LLMs + APIs* ChatGPT "all tools" MMIO mode - Combines vision, browsing, ADA and DALL-E into 1 model (Thread, Examples, System prompt)* Microsoft CodeFusion paper - a tiny (75M parameters) model beats a 20B GPT-3.5-turbo (Thread, ArXiv)* Voice* Hugging Face - Distill whisper - 2x smaller english only version of Whisper (X, paper, code)* AI Art & Diffusion & 3D* Luma - text-to-3D Genie bot (Announcement, Try it)* Stable 3D & Sky changerAI Regulation IS HERELook, to be very frank, I want to focus ThursdAI on all the news that we're getting from week to week, and to bring a positive outlook, so politics, doomerism, and regulation weren't on the roadmap, however, with weeks like these, it's really hard to ignore, so let's talk about this.President Biden signed an Executive Order, citing the old, wartime era Defence Production act (looks like the US gov. also has "one weird trick" to make the gov move faster) and it wasn't as bombastic as people thought. X being X, there has been so many takes pre this executive order even releasing about regulatory capture being done by the big AI labs, about how open source is no longer going to be possible, and if you visit Mark Andressen feed you'll see he's only reposting AI generated memes to the tune of "don't tread on me" about GPU and compute rights.However, at least on the face of it, this executive order was mild, and discussed many AI risks and focused on regulating models from huge compute runs (~28M H100 hours // $50M dollars worth). Here's the relevant section.Many in the open source community reacted to the flops limitation with a response that it's very much a lobbyist based decision, and that the application should be regulated, not only the compute.There's much more to say about the EO, if you want to dig deeper, I strongly recommend this piece from AI Snake oil :and check out Yan Lecun's whole feed.UK AI safety summit in Bletchley ParkLook, did I ever expect to add the King of England into an AI weekly recap newsletter? Surely, if he was AI Art generated or something, not the real king, addressing the topic of AI safety!This video was played for the attendees of a few day AI safety summit in Blecheley park, where AI luminaries (Yan Lecun, Elon Musk, Arthur Mensch Mistral CEO, Naveen Rao) attended and talked about the risks and benefits of AI and regulation. I think Naveen Rao had a great recap here, but additionally, there were announcements about Safety Institute in the UK, and they outlined what actions the government can take.In other regulation related news, Mozilla has a joint statement on AI safety and openness (link) that many signed, which makes the case for openness and open source as the way to AI safety. Kudos on mozilla, we stand by the letter
This is the second of our series of episodes called "Endurance off the Trail" where we dive deep into the world of endurance sports outside of trail running. Our mission? To uncover the similarities we share and the differences that set us apart. We believe that by exploring the nuances of other endurance disciplines, we can enrich our own experiences on the trail. In this episode, Liz Stephen, a former Nordic skier and Olympian, joins The Nation to discuss her transition from alpine skiing to Nordic skiing and her current involvement in coaching high school kids. Liz shares her experiences in both sports and highlights the similarities and differences between them. She emphasizes the importance of community and the welcoming nature of the Nordic skiing and trail-running communities. Liz also talks about the physical demands of Nordic skiing and the need for strength and power in the sport. She encourages trail runners to consider incorporating strength training into their routines for better overall performance and injury prevention. We also talk about Liz's love for being in the mountains and her appreciation for the beauty and possibilities they offer. But an athlete's heart never rests! Transitioning from the icy tracks to rugged terrains, Liz embraced trail racing, competing in challenging distances like 64K and 40 miles. Join us as we journey through Liz's remarkable career and discover how her skiing experiences shaped her trail-running endeavors. Check out this VIDEO of Liz at the Tour de Ski, Val di Fiemme

She received her B.A. from the University of San Francisco (working with one-half of the team of Maureen O'Sullivan and Paul Ekman—the world's leading experts for over 60 years on the nonverbal cues associated with and accurate detection of deception). Professor Carney is currently in the final stages of writing a popular book on nonverbal behavior. Nonverbal communication is, at once, much more complex and much more interesting than the media would have the public believe. https://www.linkedin.com/in/danarosecarney Produced by The MunnAvenuePress.com

For the Strength of Youth To help you find the Way and to help you make Christ's doctrine the guiding influence in your life, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has prepared a new resource, a revised version of For the Strength of Youth. For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

October 20, 2015 All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible. This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined. HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD! Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Today's show rundown: Let's do a little review of President Biden's Interview with Scott Pelley on CBS. Biden has declared that the Pandemic is OVER, he says we still have work to do. Immediately - his surgeon general came out and said welllllllll its not over. New York then said Private sector can go to work, but the Government employees are business as usual AKA "Pandemic Rules". Fauci comes out and says - what Biden really meant (yes - he is correcting what the President said), the WORST part of the pandemic is over. If the Pandemic is over - how doe Biden forgive all that student debt? When pressed on Inflation, Biden said "Come on Man - Inflation rate month to month was just-- just an inch, hardly at all." Pelley asks, you are not saying 8.3 percent inflation is good news? Biden replies - No, I'm not saying it is good news. But it was 8.2% or-- 8.2% before. I mean, it's not-- you're ac-- we act-- make it sound like all of a sudden, "My god, it went to 8.2%." It's been. What the heck is this guy talking about. All of us paying more at the pump and groceries - we sure are feeling what is in reality MORE than 8.3 percent! Inflation response has pushed wages up right, but your buying power has gone down. But the tax brackets have not been altered. Say you made 60K your tax bracket is 5.5% in taxes. If you got a pay raise to 64K (not enough to cover the cost of living increase) - you are now in the 6.6% tax bracket. You see how the Biden Administration is working against you here, you get a little raise that could push you into a new tax bracket especially around the $41,775 number where you jump 10% higher. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-joe-biden-60-minutes-interview-transcript-2022-09-18/ https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3621814-fetterman-wont-participate-in-early-september-debate-with-oz/ https://www.amazon.com/Ageless-Naked-Truth-Bioidentical-Hormones/dp/0307237257

Making a lot of money doesn't always require the right strategy. Often it's the right thinking - about yourself, your audience, and your offer. Today I'm joined by my friend and client, Lisa Sharp, to talk about the mindset shift that created $64K in 30 days. As human beings, we like goals. Goals feel good when we hit them. The problem though is when we think hitting some goal means we're more worthy (or just good enough) as a person. Guest what? Goals don't mean shit about your worth. What the world needs is more of YOU being your whole ass self, whether you hit your goals or not. Today I'm joined by my friend, colleague, and client Lisa Sharp to talk about what it took to blow past her monthly goal, what personal worth really means, what the day to day running of our businesses looks like behind the scenes, and how we show up with the CEO energy that makes running our businesses FUN. How one mindset shift helped her make $64K in 30 days Her story from $25K to over $300K in just 2 years The strategic difference between being confused about your to-do list and being uncomfortable with what's on it Why you should aim to over-deliver on your services + how to do that The overlooked value of slowing down to speed up How to inject WAY more fun into your business every day & so much more!

Host Jeff Plumblee interviews Ivett Hankoczy, PMP, CSM, ITIL, Project / Portfolio Manager at Navy Federal Credit Union. Ivett has had project management experience internationally. She learns much from people with different viewpoints. Jeff and Ivett discuss how she manages her team and encourages positivity and collaboration, even during the pandemic, Ivett's secret of showing appreciation, and how chocolate is her most popular tool to get cooperation. Ivett explains that when a person is resistant to an idea, they often don't understand how they can get what they need, so she talks them through it. Listen in for tips on treating a team the right way and seeing your project through to success. Key Takeaways: Ivett's job is a combination of Scrum Master, Project Manager, and Portfolio Manager. She loves her work and she has a team of amazing people. Their biggest challenge is finding the right contact on another team for communication. Ivett tells of her favorite work activities. She loves how a finished product amazes users. She doesn't mind putting in extra hours for a product that pleases users. She asks her team how many hours they can put in. She knows the life circumstances of each team member. Ivett starts every meeting with something cheerful, positive, funny, or personal. Her team members are not afraid to share something back. Ivett reveals how chocolate is her secret to cooperation. Ivett learned a lot working with the IMF and the World Bank. People from over 180 nations come together and they each think very differently. You can learn so much from people with different points of view. Ivett's most challenging project had a small budget. One person wanted an export button that would add $64K to the cost. Ivett met with him to show him how to get the export he wanted by using the menu. Her final advice is to make sure people can easily come to you about any need.

Hi peeps….. Welcome to the 14th episode the Confined Spaces Radio Show. My tonight's guest is Larmour from Liverpool. Music producer and abstract artist Larmour is on a voyage into the spheres of electronic music and art.. His sound is a heady and intoxicating rush of future nostalgia that leans into moody eighties synth work, tight electro rhythms and euphoric old school breaks.His superb release ‘Inside Out' smashed it's way to the top of various charts and into the boxes of DJ giants such as Sasha. Also, his sound has found homes on melodic house labels such as Terakt Records, OSCILLATE, 10 Steps North and 64K recordings. Recently, he has been fusing his more left-field music with art in intriguing new ways, and his first ambient project features a new vocal collaboration and a killer line up of remixers. With the backing of big names in the industry and determination to push himself ever onwards, the future looks as vibrant and exhilarating as his music.

This week we have Viktor Jiracek in the lab who took the journey from leaving an uneventful job to taking up real estate and aiming for 30 flips in a year with 20 a year already done. Viktor Jiracek is an entrepreneur out of Gainesville Florida who is a full time fix and flip real estate investor. Viktor helps others get started on flipping houses. He completed 20 flips last year and his goal is an additional 30 flips for this year (2021). His best flip was a $64K deal. In this episode, we will learn about creating the flow of numbers, the importance of branding, sourcing your deals with leads, and the two sides of course correction. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPISODE: 1:00 - Background of the guest 22:40 - Numbers are the biggest thing 24:31 - Do what you're passionate about vs doing what's actually in need in the marketplace 31:05 - Sourcing: The source of deals 33:30 - The income goals 34:30 - The structure of the team: salary or percentage 44:42 - The mentoring on six-figure house flipper KEEPING IT REAL: 13:57 - What's strong about my branding? 21:01 - Knowing a good deal comes with: What are you buying for? What do you put into it? What are you going to sell it for? 29:38 - How does it look like on combining projects: The permanent team 31:46 - What's interesting about a wholesaler? 36:56 - The biggest course correction in your business: Macro 38:38 - The biggest course correction in your business: Micro NOTABLE QUOTES (KEY LESSONS): “So it's really like knowing a good deal really comes down to three numbers. It's like, what are you buying it for? What are you putting into it like repairs or renovation? What are you going to sell it for like RV? So that's really all you have to look at, because when they're when you're flipping a house, there are a million variables like, OK, what's the bedroom bathroom? What's the square footage? What's the neighborhood? What's the school district? Do you know? Is it a dirt road? Is it a paved road like there are a million variables? So just to make it as simple as possible, just break it down to three numbers. So that's what I recommend. And the other thing with that I do what's called 70 percent rule. So it's 70 percent RV like 70 percent. We can sell it for minus repairs, and that's a good deal.” “Your brand is what other people say about you when you're not in the room.” “If you're showing up late and you leave promises unfulfilled, you're just not easy to work with. Even if you have the best brand in the world, that's really hard to recover from.” CONNECTING WITH THE GUEST Website Facebook Twitter Linkedin Instagram

This episode of the podcast is a trip report about running a trail race in the Alps with lots of details about how trail races go in France. We also talk about learning French as an adult and how to put together a great family vacation in France. Annie's Favs on Amazon My guest is Mollie Cummins from the beautiful alpine city of Park City, UT. She's used to running trail races at altitude, and yet the Trail du Tour des Fiz in the French Alps was definitely a challenge. Let's talk about what made it so. Hint: the weather had something to do with it! Mollie's Trail Race in the Alps Mollie would love to circumnavigate around the Mont Blanc aka Tour du Mont Blanc. But that was difficult to organize with children because it takes 5 days and the kids are too young for it. They knew they could only come to France in July, so she looked for races taking place in the Alps in July and found the Trail du Tour des Fiz that starts in a ski resort called Passy. It's in an area just north west of Chamonix. The race itself is at very high altitude. You shuttle to the start of the race from a large store and parking area (Mountain Store Decathlon). There Are Multiple Distances Offered There are multiple distances you can enter. There is a lot of vertical gain, more than what runners in the US are used to, it's very steep. But if you're not up to a long steep race, they also offer a kid's race, a 15K (9 miles) up to 84K (50 miles) which is the full tour plus other races in between. Those Races Fill Up Fast! Mollie normally runs ultra races, she intended to run one of the longer races but it was full. So, she had to go with the 15K. This is a popular event, the longer one fills up within a day or two of opening up for booking. She was on a wait list for the 8 refuge tour (39 miles or 64K), but she didn't manage to get in, possibly due to a computer problem. Balcon des Fiz 15K Race But there was still space in the Balcon des Fiz race, a 15K. Her husband decided to join her for that race as well. It's nice because it doesn't take up the whole day. It's still very steep, you run up the ski slopes and go the various chalets. It's lovely, for instance you get to see the cows with the bells around their necks. Bad Weather Bad luck, it was a muddy and rainy day. Mollie doesn't mind running in the rain and playing in the mud, but she didn't get to see the scenic landscape because it was overcast that day. Mollie and her husband Brendan were the only two Americans in the race. It is uncommon for Americans to sign up for this race so they fussed over them when they crossed the finish line, which was lovely. When you finish the race they give you a special beer for racers and there's a meal catered by a local restaurant called La Poêle Géante that was the best post-race meal she ever had. It was cheap too around 10€. Mandatory Certificat Médical for Racers In France you need medical clearance to enter a race. They take this very seriously. If you don't submit the medical paperwork you will not run. Mollie found the form here. Some of these races also have mandatory lists of gear. In this particular race they had a list of gear but they didn't get checked. But in the longer races they do get checked and if they don't have the gear that will keep them safe they are booted out of the race. Rating the Organization of the Race The race is really well organized, well-marked. There are a good number of people ready to jump in just in case runners experience difficulties. But this is a long race, anyone who stops running for any reason needs to get dry clothes and stay warm. Runners should not abdicate their own responsibility when it comes to running this trail race safely. They shouldn't rely only on markings. They need to look at maps and get familiar with the turns and terrain. They must have proper equipment. Ravitaillement: Water, Fruits, Small Cakes In the shorter race there were points where you could get water, drinks to replenish electrolytes, fruits, small cakes (gâteaux). For longer races they probably provided hot drinks and hot food. This was similar to what you normally get in an American race. Trail Races Are a Great Way to See France and Mingle with Locals Mollie recommends English-speaking runners sign up for races in France for the following reasons: Trail races in France are affordable Running such races puts you around locals Races give you an opportunity to practice your French It's a great way to see a lot without worrying too much about the logistics Pay attention to how steep those races are in the Alps if you're not used to it (the terrain was similar to the Wind River Mountains in WY). You may need to power hike up with poles. Unlike what Mollie has seen in the US, hiking poles are allowed in the Alps. Learning French as an Adult Mollie's daughter is in a French dual immersion program at school. But it seemed strange that the only person who could speak French in the family was only 8 years old who is in the 4th grade. So, Mollie decided to learn French too and she started listening to the Michel Thomas French language learning series while she runs in the morning. Learning was really enjoyable and she kept it up. She also hired an on-line tutor. She learned enough French that the people she talked to in French in France did NOT switch to English. That was encouraging and she has continued with her lessons through the University of Utah where she works as well. All the Alliance Française classes in the US have switched to Zoom lessons and you can take classes from all over the country now. French Learning Resources There are so many resources to learn languages now! You can read French newspapers from anywhere in the world and if you get stuck you copy and paste into Google Translate. You may want to listen to News in Slow French that you can get as a podcast as well and they provide transcripts. France Inter podcasts are great. For example Le 7/9, a morning show with news and music. Hondelate Raconte is true crime. Ça peut pas faire de mal which Annie has since started to listen to and is WONDERFUL! Actor Guillaume Galliene reads classic novels. Family Vacation in France Their daughter wanted to visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower. Her husband and sons wanted to see the landing beaches in Normandy. In the end everyone loved the landing beaches in Normandy. The kids were enthralled by the stories and the magnitude of the events. The capability of human beings to do unfathomable things in horrible circumstances. They hired a private guide who came along with them in their car and was fantastic. His name was Christophe Rault. Mollie and her husband read Steven Ambrose's D-Day so they were familiar with the events, but the guide brought so much more to it! They were staying at a small farm and the guide met them early in the morning and stayed with them all day. This allowed them to accommodate the kid's needs. The children were tired after 9 hours of touring Normandy, so they dropped off the kids at the farm and the adults kept going with the guide. The farm was called Englesqueville-la-Percée – Ferme de la Rouge Fosse. Canicule in the Loire Valley The day they were in the Loire Valley was really HOT and they were staying in the 3rd floor attic of an old house. They went looking for a swimming spot and they found one called "Baignade Naturelle" it was a wonderful cold spring fed pool. They couldn't let them in the pool with board shorts, so the boys swam in their underwear. Pools in France mandate tight-fitting swimwear. At the beach nobody cares, but public swimming pools do care. This is definitely a French idiosyncrasy: no board shorts or baggy shorts in French public pools. About the Mont-Saint-Michel The Mont-Saint-Michel is mobbed during the day and it is not a pleasant experience. They arrived late in the day, toured the monastery right before it closed. They spent the night on the Mont and left in the morning. They expected that the food wouldn't be the best of the trip. Mollie realized starting at 2 in the morning why this is so. People have to haul hand-trucks full of food and drink up the mountain for thousands of visitors each day. It's great to experience walking around the ramparts for the kids. Annie recommends people do not sleep on the Mont because it's difficult to haul a suitcase up there. But for Mollie and her family that was not going to be a problem. It's also mobbed and noisy. There's a bus that will take you to hotels off the Mont until midnight. They walked on the sand in the evening and enjoyed it. They found a fairly hard surface. Favorite Place in Paris The kids loved the Musée de l'Armée and it's walking distance to the Eiffel Tower and it's good to combine the two. The collection of armor is amazing there! Ask for the treasure hunt for the kids, it's fun! The WW2 exhibit is wonderful too. As is Napoleon's Tomb.

In this latest issue of my weekly podcast, we discuss Trump's odds of victory. For the last few weeks, according to futures markets, Trump's odds of beating Biden have been in steep decline. Trump still faces steep odds. But last week he seemed to be making a comeback. Biden's advantage has eased from 23% down to 18%. While the media fiercely criticized his 4th of July speech, his patriotic take on America's past presidents and defense of statues at Mount Rushmore most likely left a good impression on most who listened.Economic indicators start to show improvement. ISM released its US June PMIs, showing growth in all sectors. Manufacturing came in at 52.6, beating expectations of 49.6. Non-manufacturing came in at 57.1, crushing expectations of 50.1. Unemployment for June declined to 11.1% from 13.3% in May. For China in June, the Caixin manufacturing PMI was 51.2 and the services PMI was 58.4. US and UK respond to Hong Kong security law. Last week China passed the controversial Hong Kong Security Act. The US Congress responded by passing legislation that would penalize foreign banks that do business with Chinese officials who undermine Hong Kong's autonomy. The bill was passed with unanimous consent by the House and Senate, and will most likely be signed by Trump. The UK has responded to China by announcing a pathway to UK citizenship for the 3 million Hong Kong residents. Edouard Philippe resigns as Prime Minister. France's Prime Minister resigned on Friday as Macron attempts to shake up his cabinet. With growing unpopularity, Macron is trying to restart his government before the 2022 election.Ethiopia threatens Egypt's water supply. Ethiopia is planning to complete it colossal hydropower dam on the Blue Nile. Egypt, downriver from the dam, relies almost exclusively on the Nile for freshwater. If Ethiopia starts filling the dam is built without an agreement between the countries, Egypt has threatened to bomb it. COVID-19 sets back Americans' plans to retire. According to a new report, Millennials are more than twice as likely as Gen Xers or Boomers to have withdrawn (or plan to withdraw) money from their retirement savings due to the pandemic. But no generation reports feeling very financially secure: The median Millennial has only $23K in retirement savings. Even the median Xer has only $64K in retirement savings. ******************************The content featured here is a small part of Hedgeye’s Demography Unplugged, a game-changing market intelligence product brought to you by historian, demographer and best-selling author Neil Howe.

This week's EYE on NPI takes a look at a new kind of memory called MRAM - and some fresh new QSPI memory chips from Renesas that let you try out MRAM for your embedded projects! (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/r/renesas/m1000-m3000-series-mram) Memory and memory management is one of the trickiest challenges for an engineer, when it comes time to optimize power, speed and performance because you bump up against many of the restrictions different types of memory have - and the reason there's so many types of memory is cause there's no one perfect type of memory storage. Just about every microcontroller has two kinds of storage - flash storage and RAM storage. RAM storage is just like the kind you have in your computer - except a few KB usually, instead of GB. RAM storage is pretty expensive, which is why a microcontroller that is only a few bucks has only a few KB. BUT RAM is really fast - you can read and write to any section of RAM within one or two instructions. There's one down-side to this speed - when the microcontroller is reset, or power is lost, the RAM is also lost. For that reason, your microcontroller has the other kind of memory - flash - to store the program itself. Otherwise, your program would just disappear when you unplugged it (not good!). Flash memory is pretty inexpensive, so you usually get much more flash than RAM. Once in a while you also get microcontrollers that have a separate flash memory area, often referred to as EEPROM. Usually this is used for storing configurations, calibrations, identifiers, etc. So normally, you've got non-volatile flash storage for code, volatile RAM storage for running the code, and maybe a smidge of EEPROM. Say you want to build a sensor data logger - you can't store the data in RAM, because you'll lose it when power is lost. You can't safely stick it in flash because that's where your code lives, and EEPROM is way too small. No problem, you can buy external non-volatile flash memory for microcontrollers! Again, for small amounts of storage, say less than 64K you can get low cost I2C EEPROM (https://www.digikey.com/products/en/integrated-circuits-ics/memory/774?k=i2c%20eeprom). There's one big downside though - while these SPI flash chips have great non-volatility, they have an annoying problem that when you want to change data in a block you have to erase that whole block first, then write the new changed data - and a block is 4KB to 16KB! And erasing takes at least a few milliseconds, if not longer. Same with SD cards by the way. THUS this week's EYE on NPI is interesting to us because it introduces a new kind of memory we've never used before - MRAM for magnetic random access memory. Where as flash memory stores memory by saving a bit by storing charge on a MOSFET gate, MRAM stores it on a ferromagnetic particle that can changed from N to S polarity to store 1 or 0. The core of Avalanche’s STT-MRAM cell is a proprietary perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (p-MTJ) element which includes including a magnetic fixed layer, a dielectric barrier layer and a changeable ferromagnetic storage layer. The magnetic orientation of the fixed layer is fixed during the manufacturing process. During a programming operation, the magnetic orientation of the storage layer is electrically switched from a parallel state (low resistance state “0”) to an antiparallel state (high resistance state “1”), or vice versa, depending on the current direction through the p-MTJ element. Two distinct resistance states can thus be realized for data storage and sensing. The structure of the p-MTJ element can be tailored for different performance specs and application needs. (http://www.avalanche-technology.com/technology/mram-technology/) What's nice is that every bit/byte can be written or read at any time, no block erases, no delays! You can drive these chips with SPI or QSPI at 100+MHz and down to 1.8V. These chips will be more expensive than NV SRAM or FLASH, but when you need fast writes and reads without waits, these are a great option. Another nice bonus with MRAM is that it is naturally less susceptible to radiation bit-flips - something that folks working on cubesats are super experienced with as a bane of their existence - you send a microcontroller into LEO and the flash memory gets corrupted by high energy particles. While this part is not specifically rad-hard or space-ready, for DIY experimentation, its way way less expensive than official aerospace devices - as seen in the PyCubed dev board (https://circuitpython.org/board/pycubed_mram/) These chips are pin-compatible with most other SPI flash you may have designed in, so it's easy to try out MRAM! Check out the chips on Digi-Key available in 8-SOIC package for easy prototyping! https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=800-M30082040054X0IWAY-ND%20

In this episode, we look at whether new builds, or existing renovation projects give the highest return on the capital you have invested. This episode is based on an article that Andrew recently wrote for the NZ Property Investor Magazine. In the article, Andrew compares a $500,000 new build, with an existing property purchased for $400K and then renovated for $50K (resulting in a renovated property with a $500K valuation). He shows that a new build would require capital of $100K, whereas the existing property would require the investor to risk $170K worth of capital. While – over a 10 year period – the existing property would net an additional $64K worth of returns, as a percentage of the capital risked it returns a lower ROI. The new property nets 291% ROI, while the existing property returns 209% over the 10 year period.

What if I told you that just about everything you think you know about wealth and prosperity is WRONG? That the platitudes you hear about ‘following your passion’ and ‘turning thoughts into things’ are, at best, misleading and may be sending you down the wrong path? So, what is it that the super-wealthy and successful understand that you and I do not? What separates a millionaire from a billionaire? And what lessons can we learn from the stories of today’s most iconic figures? Serial entrepreneur Greg Reid is a bestselling author, keynote speaker and filmmaker. Tapped by the Napoleon Hill Foundation to continue the Think and Grow Rich legacy, Greg has had the good fortune to sit down with the most successful contemporary leaders and learn how they persevered through challenging times and capitalized on unexpected opportunities. He has been named one of Entrepreneur magazine’s Top 5 Keynote Speakers and Entrepreneur of the Year by the United Nations’ Novus Summit, among many other awards and honors. Today on the podcast, Greg joins Oliver to turn conventional wisdom on its head and share the secrets he learned from interviewing the most successful people in today’s world, including Steve Wozniak, Evander Holyfield and Ferruccio Lamborghini. He explains why people in the 100 Million Dollar Club tend to be unhappy (while billionaires are content) and discusses what’s wrong with ideas like ‘thoughts are things’ and ‘pursue your passion and the money will follow.’ Listen in for Greg’s insight on turning obstacles into opportunity and learn how to apply the lessons of the wealthy to find success in YOUR life!

Bil Herd shares stories and design wisdom from years of experience as a hardware engineer, most famously at Commodore. Starting out self-taught, Bil found his way to working around brilliance and some of it rubbed off a little. Learn about his interesting journey from TV repair to Commodore, Hackaday and beyond. Today, Bil is self-employed and focused on networks, high-level architecture consulting and hardware projects. Show Highlights: I never forgot how to do hardware design. It’s fun to be able to do that. I’m working on an Altium project right now. You get to be imaginative for a couple days, and then you spend the next couple months paying for it looking at every single line item, every footprint and trying to catch where your brain was wrong. Commodore Hardware lab, splitting bus for video and hired to lead the team shortly after. Going after a swag bag offered by Adafruit from an MIT Open hardware conference resulted in a video series with Hackaday. Almost all the errors I’ve made in CAD systems were related to parts I’ve made. For parts and footprints - you need to have someone check your work. To start a new CAD system - make a trash board, force yourself through. Process to start learning a new CAD system: Open CAD > Get Overwhelmed > DRINK Making a board on a new CAD tool. First I make a trash board knowing I won’t use it. Then make a real board, using all the rules. Links and Resources: Bil Herd Wikipedia Hackaday Bil Herd’s Hackaday Videos See all show notes and video here. Hey everyone, this is Judy Warner with Altium's OnTrack Podcast. Welcome back. Our audience continues to grow and we thank you for joining us again, and I want to give a shout out to Steven Newberry from LGS innovations who took away always marking his diodes with a K, and so many of you have chimed in and help driving actually who we have on the show and the topics we discuss. So thanks so much for joining. If you would please connect with me on LinkedIn or @AltiumJudy on Twitter and Altium is also on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and remember we're always on YouTube as well as on your favorite podcast apps. So thanks again for joining and hold onto your hats because we're gonna have a little bit of a history lesson tied in with today's best practices. So today our guest is Bill Herd, who is actually a figure of history and he has a Wikipedia page that you will have to take a look at. So for those of you that are probably, I don't know 40s and above, might remember the Commodore personal computer. It was one of the first, I'll let Bill fill you in all the details, but I remember vividly when I was in my early 20s, my dad coming home with a Commodore 64 and it was all the rage and he thought the world is forever changed and I'll never ever use all the 64k that I possibly have. So Bill, welcome and we're so glad to have you and can't wait. We're gonna tell some stories, you're gonna give us some design wisdom, so thanks so much for joining us. My pleasure. Actually I do describe myself as a recovering Commodore Engineer the active recovery never stops you've just gotta keep trying to get better. Well, I'm sorry but based on the background behind you I'm not sure about your recovery. Okay - I've relapsed a little [laughter] So, briefly tell us what you're - are you working now as a Consultant, you know like your own entity I forgot to clarify that with you? Yeah actually I'm self-employed so to speak, I owned an ISP for about 15 years and had 16 people and we did all that and then it ran its course as ISPs do, and so I do a lot of networking and high-level architecture consultation, but I never forgot how to do hardware design. So actually you caught me in the middle of doing an Altium project right now, where we're going to a limited quantity but I just went through all the steps - all the dirty little details getting a PC board out, so it was kind of fun to still be able to do that. I love the way you put it, 'the dirty little details' there's a lot of those right? You get to be imaginative for a couple days and then you spend the next couple months paying for it by looking at each and every line item and every footprint and trying to catch where your brain was wrong you know, way back in the beginning. Yeah well, so I also noticed you have - as I've gotten to get acquainted with you a little bit - back in the days of Commodore and the early days actually of the personal computer business the words nerds and hackers weren't really around but seeing you sit there in a Hackaday shirt with that lab behind you, I would say you are the quintessential original geek or nerd what do you have to say about that? Well, one - we did call it home computers, back then the PC hadn't been invented yet, and I also mention I've never been to school for any of this. I was a - basically a high school dropout - and ended up in the service, and went back and almost got my degree. I own like a library book for the money $3.42; for a library book, in English class where me and the teacher just couldn't make it work. So about three years later they sent home my diploma with my sister just going: here you'll need this someday. I used to say I was self-taught but what really happened, self-taught got me into a couple good places and then the education really started; working around really smart, really brilliant people, that's where I got the education that made it so I could do a product from beginning to end. So I was fixing TVs, got my TV Repairman License at the age of 17, in Indiana. You know and sometimes they'd answer the door and didn't want to let me in, because I got long hair and I'm carrying tube caddies and they're like: who are you? I'm like, van out front, TV repair, and people fed me cookies when they saw me fix their TV sets. Right well we will share Bill's Wikipedia page and there are some awesome pictures of this long haired hippie, with this cut off denims... Hey don't tease me about the shorts, it was 1980. Hey I'm sorry, but I wore shorts just like that so yeah, so we will share that because there's a lot of history and fun and great pictures that I think you'll enjoy hearing. So tell us a little bit about how you got into the whole Commodore thing and then we're gonna dig in and give our listeners some really practical advice on those nitty gritty details you talked about, and then we'll wrap up with some more fun stories. So just briefly give us an overview of Commodore and Hackaday? Okay if I back up just a little bit - I started at a digital scale company in Pennsylvania making instrumentation, so there I learned to do very accurate stuff with very good grounding. I understood analog and RF spectrum and all that, and it was all hand taped right. Well a guy named Terry Fisher who I just got through working with again, so after 35 years, we're still doing it and he was on Altium this time. So when I got to Commodore I had the background for how to make something expensive work. And then you just take that and you just shake it and it comes out of your head cuz now you've got to make it cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. Yeah. And people are mad at me these days because they say: oh I have a 30 year old Commodore and it just failed! I'm like: it was designed to last five years. You should have put a switching supply... what? To put a dime more into it I'd have been fired if I did! So I got my job almost by accident at Commodore. I mean, there's a whole story here and I'm going to - let's just say I blew the interview like three times and still got hired. You know what, not even taking in my resume you know? But so I got there, and they didn't know what to do with me, and I read in a book that I was actually hired as a Technician. They just knew they could use people like me and then they sat me down, the guy was named Benny Prudent, and he said: well here, study all these software manuals. So now I was gonna be right for a programmer - I could do 6502 programming. But for a disk drive - I'm like: that sounds like the most boring thing in the world, but sure. And then I walked into the hardware lab and I saw what they were doing - they were splitting the BUS for the video - which back then I was doing it at home - and that's why I said: I just built something at home where I actually don't wait till the vertical retrace time to ramp and two weeks later I was in charge of the project. The guy was leaving, they didn't have anybody else, so now I'm a Project Leader at Commodore within a couple weeks. Oh my gosh, it was like the Wild West was it not? Oh absolutely and I loved it and I brought a certain 'animal house' to that, because we had lost a lot of talent. I mean there was people like Chuck Peddle who designed the 6502, he's gone, but his cigar's burning in the ashtray. The chair's still warm right. So you knew that these people had been there, but they're gone - and there's these kind of older, stogier guys and me. And pretty soon it became an environment where shoes became optional, so we definitely made it into what we wanted to and you have to do that when you work 20 hour days. That's crazy so you're sleeping in the office or not sleeping? My record was 11 days without leaving. I had an air mattress, I would actually hot bunk with the technician so I would get something designed like 2:00 in the morning, check the air mattress out and they would build it for me and I'd go catch an hour to sleep and then they'd come back and kick the air mattress and say: it's built, and just taking showers out of the sink - things like that. Well we'll talk more about some of your fun Commodore stories because I know we'll really want to dig into those a little bit more. But tell us also about your involvement with Hackaday? Yeah it's actually interesting, that I used to watch Adafruit's Little Saturday Night Show right and they would do this thing where they'd give something away and usually it was a product and I didn't go for that as much because I could just - their products are so cheap I could just buy one. But one time they had been to the Open Hardware Venue - a conference - and it was actually at MIT I think - and they asked a question and I went right to a web page, found the answer because they were giving away the swag bag, so I said, that I'll go for! So in the swag bag was some cool things but one of them was a - it was like an Octopart - only it was somebody else's version of it. Well they're owned by the people that owned Pacada. So I start talking with them, I ended up a Beta Tester, and the guy realized I just never shut up, that I'm always telling stories right? And so pretty soon he puts me in touch with Mike the head editor at Hackaday, and I'm doing the same to him only in emails, and finally he's like: all right that's it, write stuff or shut up, and so we came up with the video format because it just - it works for me - it works for my personality and I am a high school dropout which means my English ain't so good anyway, so the video works better for me. Yeah well we will also share those for listeners here - I've seen a few of them and he is perfectly suited for that. So I'll share that as well for you wannabe hackers. So let's dig into some immediate content that I hope will help engineers and PCB designers that are listening to us. You have told me - how many EDA tools have you used over a year period? Yeah I made it all up, hardly any at all [laughter]. No it had to be like seven, eight, or nine, depending on how you count them and to what degree. But going back to the 1980s when a workstation cost fifty thousand or a hundred thousand dollars and you couldn't get them as a home user or even as a small business and so, we started it. We started with hand tape and the cool thing with that is, if you can do good hand tape, you can use a tool like a CAD and do more. But you still have to be good to begin with right? You have to understand the principles and nowadays it's more common for engineers to do their own PCB layout but I'm still of that school that: do what you do really well, and use somebody when possible that does what he does as good as you, that's why I use a guy like I said, Terry Fisher. He's as good and he knows when to ask me questions and I know when to shut up right so we have a good relationship for that kind of thing. And we started on Mentors, which actually we designed chips with, but he started on a system called a side card, and it was a card that plugged into the backs. Well when he'd start moving parts on the PC board everybody's computer slowed down right. These chip designers and stuff because it's on the VMBus, it's taking the cycles directly, so they give Terry his so - he actually he goes by Fish. They gave Fish his own VAX so now he's got a three hundred and fifty thousand dollar CAD system to lay out pc boards and so that's the 1980s, and in the Mentor, we - I hadn't really even seen a real mouse like we use until Sun's came out. It had a scratch pad so I actually grew my fingernail into a point so that I had a built-in stylus on my index finger - so yeah just genetically modified kind of you know... [laughter]. That's funny - so with all of those changing of tools which most people that I know, that are designers, once they get proficient on a tool they'd rather die than change tools because it can be such a painful process. So tell us about changing tools. If you have to do it, what is the least painful path? Well management will always want you to do that right in the middle of a project right and that's - it's pretty key to not try and - we actually moved our hardware labs right in the middle of a project one time too. Just kind of in the same... But if you're going to change programs, realize that they're just tools, and after you've changed a couple times you start to go: okay I know how this play goes and and you do a couple of the same things and you sometimes learn and really appreciate your old tool and sometimes you learn that hey, the new tool's better. But they're no two the same, especially in CAD where there's so many complex things. So I think people picking up tools - I saw it a lot with EAGLE - what they did, and they did an amazing thing for the maker industry and the home users - even though I hate the program. if you're a professional, you just go: what, I have to drag the trace off the screen to hit the menu? this is like somebody put a GUI on a command line program. Well guess what? EAGLE's were GUI on the command line program back in the old days. So you know the false attractiveness of something like EAGLE was, it did have huge libraries right, and especially for boards because I mean these, Arduino boards - I can't deal with the mechanics of them, they're not on the center's, I'm used to all that - but what you really have to come down to when you do a CAD system is, realize you've got to make your own parts at one time or another, so you might as well get proficient at it. And if you're using libraries you might just be using somebody else's problems. So even if you do use somebody else's library - it's like you've gotta still vet the part. Right, so just realize that you're going to have to make your own parts. And then there's things like BSDL importing and stuff like, if you're doing a 250 pin FPGA, you don't want to hand-do that either, so there are tools to help you avoid the mistakes. But almost all the errors I've ever made in CAD systems are related to the parts I've made where - I actually have data books here not data sheets - a guy said: yeah you use the word book don't you? And while you're looking at the book, making the part, I've done simple things that I'll never catch myself - by having like D7 to D0, instead of D0 to D7. When I see what I think I want to see, and that's it, the mistake is in there until somebody else catches it. So we used to always have somebody else check our parts you know, in footprints or the same way I still think. So that's the first thing, is realize you’ve got to make your parts and then I recommend you just sit down and trash a board - try not to ruin your library in the process - because you could screw up libraries right. But then throw that board away and start again. This time trying to obey every rule you know how, and actually even if you don't produce the board actually obey all the rules, look up every command you don't know that you actually need, and that's kind of how I started a new CAD system. So for our audience, Bill sent me a few notes for the point of our conversation here, here is a note that he wrote: Starting a new CAD, do a couple of projects early on - sort of what he's talking about right now - his first line is, 'open CAD - get overwhelmed - drink' [laughter]. Yes, it can be overwhelming! It's like my drill sergeant said when I went through basics: 'we know it hurts gentlemen, you don't have to tell us' and we're like, oh I'll keep my pain to myself. It's the same thing: I'm supposed to be overwhelmed, okay let's you know. So you open it again, and you start looking for what you know. So there are some things you need to learn the quirks of upfront. Like how do you do a BUS? Everybody does it slightly different, that nomenclature, whether it's curly braces, brackets, whatever. And an 8 10 dot dot 8 zero - it might be low to high, it might be either way, but you got to learn those things. And interconnects, how to make sure that a part's really hooked up. One CAD system I was on, was called Ulti Board by National Instruments, and the DRC wasn't catching the fact that parts looked like they were hooked up, and they weren't. Well, how do you catch that? Well yeah, how do you catch that? Yeah so you've got to - you go around jiggling your parts and it's stupid you know, so do a good DRC and you know, Ben, when he looked over my shoulder to check my router - from Hackaday, Ben Jordan. He gave me an - actually a compliment that I took, which was: oh it's nice to see you have all your DRC errors fixed. Well I'm old enough, I don't remember fixing them, but I'm old enough that I know I would have fixed them. Cause that's it, that's your last chance to catch that you have a net floating, even though you don't know it. Whether it's a misspelling, even capitalization change, something like that. So yeah, you got to learn all those dirty deeds and details. I was just talking to John Watson on this podcast about a week ago, we talked a lot about libraries and the same subject. It's like a theme that most headaches seem like they begin and end with the parts libraries and even having a data sheet that's correct or hasn't changed in the last five minutes. How do you address that? I still have data books [laughter] - no, it's still like going over it, and over it, a couple of times and having somebody else look as well. I'll still take a highlighter to a schematic sometimes just if I feel I'm getting confused, out comes the highlighter to help me get more confused. [laughter] -at the end hopefully I get it. That's funny! Okay (I keep bumping things sorry about that) so okay. Let's talk about hidden nets... Okay go! I hate them [laughter] hidden nets are where somebody thought let's show up DIP package or something and we know we are hooking it up to +5 and grounds so there's no point in cluttering the schematic with it. Well my attitude is how do you know it hooked up to +5 and ground? Nowadays it's 9 +5 and ground is +3.3, 1.2, 1.0 - - so yeah whoever came up with that, they need to have something I don't want to say something bad happen... [laughter] They need to miss a CES deadline or something themself. So it's the invitation for failure is what you're saying? Yeah you can't check it, you make assumptions and that's where problems start so yeah. Would you say that making assumptions is one of those easy pitfalls for designers to fall into? Yeah, thinking SOIC is a size. It's not you know, there could be white body, skinny bodies, and it's like: oh but the picture looks like - no. You better learn to have - one thing is you have to learn with new CAD packages, is how to measure things. And you need to do that, and then look to see oh it's .43 inches or ... and I - one time I almost missed the fact that the the lead pitch was 0.5 instead of 0.75. That wouldn't have fit! That would have meant instant failure. You made a comment about assembly drawings being readable what did you mean by that? You know as parts got smaller the silkscreen no longer - it's not as important because of assembly techniques but if you still want to measure - you can't get that little silkscreen anywhere near the part sometimes, so you end up with an assembly drawing where you had to like put all these silk screens where you now want them inside the outlines and all that so it's like you can't use the silkscreen for an assembly drawing like the old days. You have to do a whole new one if you want to be able to find the part. But now these days what I do - but I'm working on a really dense... or troubleshooting, I actually keep the CAD open and I do the - jump to component - and find it that way it really is faster to use technology sometimes... [laughter] sometimes. Sometimes, at least I don't hand etch my boards anymore. Yeah. Remember that, the seventies? I always say, because I was in the bare board industry for years, sales and marketing-wise and we would take people, walk through and do surveys, plus I actually worked on a shop floor for a short period of time like, I'm gonna die of heavy metal exposure man, the chemicals we had in there. I remember walking into a planing room at the first board shop I worked and my skin just burning, yes burning, just poor ventilation and there was sulphuric acid in there. I'm told you can't have plating or PC board manufacture in New Jersey, that they've just kind of made it so you can't do that. Well there's that - there's a little bit of toxicity going on in the chemicals. Right, and at Commodore we made the ultimate printed wiring board printed circuit board right which is a chip - it's just really, really small, and we polluted the groundwater and you can look this up, but we had to buy dedicated lines for like 11 neighbors, and then we had those golf course sprinklers in the back aerating the ground water. Well my first day there I mean they're just literally spraying it in the air hoping the VOCs evaporate right. Oh my gosh! I parked too close my first day there and I come out and my car's covered with this sticky stuff right and not only that, I had parked under a tree so now the leaves are stuck to my windshield with this and to try and peel them off - they just break - and they're like: oh yeah dude, don't park there man, that's in the water. Like I said, it was the Wild West days I mean. Still a Superfund site I'm told. I bet, like it's frightening - it's frightening and I'm glad we've gotten our act together a little bit environmentally oh my gosh because literally we could all die from those toxic... Yeah I remember the day my dad brought home mercury to play with you know. I remember my neighbor was an engineer - he brought home mercury to play with and we'd watch you know, roll it around on our hand or whatever, crazy! Forget about playing with it - you know putting it in your teeth we would like, oh here, pour it in my hand, let's roll it around, isn't that cool? Yeah and you put it back in the jar and it's never quite as full as you started right because you're leaving a certain amount on the floor... Good memories but we might die young, just saying... [laughter] So when you start a new CAD program, do you just jump in and start designing? How do you take that on if you're gonna take on a new CAD, what's the way you approach it? Well as I said, I kind of I go in knowing I'm going to do a trash board, it's all about just hooking some stuff up knowing that you're making mistakes and then I try and do something more real and try and really obey the rules and that's where it starts - that's how you're learning from page to page cuz every CAD system's slightly different, but it's kind of like how you think. You drop a part, you try and put a wire on it and the kind of mistakes you'll make is not having a clear way knowing how you want to do all the resistor values in the world right. Do you make a part for each resistor value, or do you use a generic part and assign the values? And those are things you just have to figure out yourself on each CAD system I think. So I mean, I honestly don't know how it's done. I have lots of compassion for my engineering friends who are also laying out boards who really got no serious, formal training in PCB design, but alas they are laying out boards and then they get thrown a new tool like... So do you just hop on it and jump in and swim? Remember, it's a tool too and they have some really great tools like things that'll help you plot RF noise on the ground plane or thermal or something but you know, at the end of the day that's not necessarily real life. It's a tool you know, so it's an opinion, and it might be a faster, better, more colorful opinion than we used to get with an old thermal probe. But you just got to kind of try it and if you work around people who can look over your shoulder they'll save you a lot of time - especially hot keys and stuff like that. And that's probably one of my pet peeves is I don't like having to rely on hot keys and that was even before I lost a finger, so now some of the hot key combinations are literally beyond this old man's ability to do without using my nose and stuff it's... How did you lose a finger? I tore it off! Dare I ask? I just caught my ring on something and I stepped eight inches off something - it stripped it off the bone, we have pictures on the web of that also. But I used to work at a trauma department and I've flown with a 103rd combat medics, I've been captain of a rescue squad. So I look down and I just go: I know where I'm going today - I didn't even tell my wife right. I figured she's away at a quilting bee, having a good day, the next day I was: Hi, uh, lost a finger and she got mad at me for not telling her. I would get mad at you too... just saying like: oh Chee how's the quilt work? Good what did you do? I just lost my finger. Yeah, yeah well my son actually looked at it and we took pictures - by the way I had to wait half an hour for an ambulance and being a former ambulance guy that was just like - that was an insult on top of injury literally. But I wanted him to think of it clinically and not be freaked out by it so we took pictures and stuff like that and then I told him, I said: well I'm going to - don't tell your mother - but I'm gonna leave with these ambulance people now and I'll be home probably tomorrow, because I know how things work, and he comes running to the door and he goes: dad, dad what's the key to unlock the Xbox? I'm like: okay you're gonna be fine by yourself. First time he was by himself, he's thinking about the Xbox so, all right! Oh my gosh you crack me up. What else do you want to talk about relative to CAD tools? I'm looking at my notes here - you were talking about something - you talked about the buses, nomenclature and index based even that you'd said you hate those. So what else did we not cover? I think the main thing is just how productive can you be? How well is it designed? And I was impressed by early CAD, which came out at like $4.99 in the 80s and we were like: whoa! I mean it's like that old monochrome purse, now there's PCs right - late 80s and the things you can do where if you copy a bunch of address lines, you can tell it when to paste it, auto-increment all those address lines as if I was continuing to do them. So if I grab a 0 to 7 and I paste it, now 8 to 15 is done for me. Well you can fly, when somebody has thought of things like that to do, you can go rogue. And it has to be controllable - sometimes you go, no I really wanted a zero to seven and - but there's tools like that, that can really make it. So, just the ability to double click and there's a new segment just like the one above it, tools like that are real important to me where I've just spent too many hours drawing in each line by hand. Right, yeah I love when - well since I've been here at Altium, one of my fun parts of my job has been to help connect our developers with hard-working designers where they can say: do it this way, we don't work that way you know, it's really nice when CAD tools will actually get together with the guys that are watching and just watch 'em work and go: oh - because again it's easy for developers even if they've laid out boards - to make assumptions right. So I really love it when tool manufacturers actually take that into consideration and I love that we're doing that more and more these days. BOM distributor integration? Uh it's probably the one thing we didn't have in the old days BOM integration where, and even picking the footprints, we had a three-ring binder of IPC footprints and that was always a step where errors could occur. I'm thinking this way, PCB designer's thinking that way, wrong footprint gets in there. But then even now, we can with Altium, for example, you see the part as it's a digi-key or arrow and you can make an attempt to select a part. Now; sounds great, but you end up getting into trouble when you go: oh wow, now I have to redo it for real, for the auto, for - I still call it auto insertion - for the pick and place. You know or, guess what? The stock status isn't quite what you thought it is, there's a delay in there and so now you're stalled, so you still have to, I think in my world, I still do a final BOM as a spreadsheet literally. But I get a lot closer in the tool. In the old days we were using microfiche if you didn't have the data book right? So nowadays it's integrated so it - again you have to be careful - it's a tool, it won't do your work for you and that's the thing. I was just going to say - I've worked with also like hiCAD and now KiCAD... however they pronounce it. I know, I never know how to say it either. Yeah and it was good in that you could add modules to it. It was bad in that you could add modules to it. I kind of wanted already the 3d viewer working - ready to play with it and stuff like that. I'm really impressed with Proteus instead of EAGLE for that low-end market, not up here where Altium is, but that's when I was shooting little two inch by two inch boards for Hackaday and I'm doing a complete design every month and doing a video, and so I design it and it gets a minute of video time right. Then I throw it away to start on the next one. So it's called ARES and unfortunately the other one is ISIS, (nobody likes that name anymore), but that's the product name and they have an amazing auto router in there that'll get you a good completion, whereas if you've ever tried EAGLE it's like why do I even try the auto router you know? So that turns out to be in, and they singled out the maker market by including Arduino in issuing 80 mega parts in simulation and firmware simulation so now you can simulate it as if you've written the code. You don't even need to build the board to see if it works. And that's a cool feature. And we didn't talk about simulation - almost all CAD tools these days do include SPICE of some sort or a SPICE portal or something like that, and that's useful if you're down in the analog stuff especially. Again still just a tool. I've seen SPICE lie horribly to you, and you think it's going to work and it's really an artifact of zero volts or something like that. Well there's a lot of talk these days about - because so many really capable designers like you, and like many people I know have learned this over a lifetime right - so if you're a new designer where are you gonna on board that outside of just one-on-one mentoring? Like any clues? There's some good YouTubes out there, but I haven't found where you can - one, I don't have the attention span to watch somebody else work for five hours to pick up a couple tips right. So it's in the YouTubes showing you what they want to show you, but the best way is literally to be near somebody that's really good at it that's - unfortunately that's the best way - it's almost always like people almost pair off in engineering where one guy's learning from another even if they swap roles later that day because he's better at something else. That's just kind of the way it ends up going. Yup, so I think what you're saying is find a mentor if you're not really good at it. Right yeah and vice versa and mentor others. So I was talking about the wire, on each and every C128 board. Okay, oh yeah actually Ben Jordan snuck that to me. So let's go into war stories a little bit and let's talk about 'the wire' also I'll get a screenshot of this I think Ben or do you have it? [Bill reaches over to show C128 board] That's so cool okay for - oh my gosh okay, so for those of you that are listening to this on the straight-up podcast you need to go to this portion and look at the YouTube just to see this giant board that he's pulling out of the Commodore 128 and look at the keyboard. This is what we call a 'barn door stop' it's too big to be a regular doorstop and that keyboard I designed by looking down at my BT 220 and I said, hey it works for me it'll work for future users too. I'll hold it up to the microphone for users at home right Okay. But there is a wire on each and every... we made 5.7 million of these. Oh okay. Wait before you go into the wire story, give us the stats on Commodore 64 going towards it and compare that to the Apple because I thought it was really interesting. Yeah the - and actually I narrated a video by a company called Junk Food about the - called the 8-Bit Generation, and I learned some things - our version of history wasn't quite as clean-cut as to who was the first and the best computer company out there so I'll give a little props there. But we often said, Apple's just using our parts, because we made the 6502. Well that's the processor they used, but we made the chip. So in our minds Apple did come out and they were first to get a floppy drive and some color early on, but then we come whooshing by them with the Commodore 64 whereas they sold 5 million of the Apple 2 that you're always seeing on every show about the 80s right. You see a show about Silicon Valley: 'we created the home computer' I don't agree, sorry I'm from Commodore I am a competitor and we made 27 million Commodore 64's we had all 64K, we had these cool color chips and sound chips that they didn't have and we could do animation because we have these things called Sprites, except Sprite was trademarked by Texas Instruments so we had to call 'em movable object blocks, but everybody called them Sprites, so you could write a game right and the blocks are moving themselves around, you're not having to rewrite that whole screen and everything so it was an amazing computer and we called it the 'Apple killer' because we actually stopped talking about Apple. Yeah then my boss wanted to kill Sinclair, remember the Timex Sinclairs? I don't. They're little tiny door stops now - I actually did use one of those for a doorstop and then the marketing department saw that and so suddenly every door in marketing has a Sinclair holding it open... That's so funny I don't even remember that one which I'm kind of surprised. I was kind of tuned in at that time but not that tuned in I guess. It was a $50 computer and actually, when the basic ran, the screen would go to crap because it couldn't share the BUS, remember I talked about that earlier, and then they came out with a color one and and it was cheap. I mean the Commodore 64 was $299 - by the way the Apple 2 was like $1500, $1700 and we're $299 - and then we did something like we lowered the price to $100 if you send us your old computer. So people were buying Sinclair's for $49, sending them to us to save $50 and that's of course 50 1980-dollars so this was - if you can see it through the microphone here - this was the one of the family that we called Ted and this was basically the Raspberry Pie of the day, it's all in there. The one chip does the video and the sound, and there's a processor. Oh and the video sound chip runs all the D-RAM and does all the crazy interfaces to the keyboard. So it's literally like very close to a single chip board even though there was nine in the original - nine chips - yeah you cracked open an IBM PC and there was 280 something like that. That's crazy and even the 128, as big as that was, had a couple couple tens of chips in there. So and then Jack Turmel unfortunately left Commodore and this product I was showing, this Ted thing. Without him there to drive the vision, that product kind of failed and we even had a talking version. We had snagged the guys from TI Speak and Spell, which was a big thing in the 80s and we had them working at Commodore, so we had a talking version of a computer with a desktop that Apple tell you later they invented the desktop. Well no. The guys at PARC invented it but we had one, it was just our founder left and it floundered without the founder. Crazy, okay show us the wire. Okay, so then the 128. What happened was I had gone to a CES show and by the way CES shows drove everything for us, Consumer Electronics Shows, mostly cuz if you ask them if they'll move it a day so you can hit your schedule they'll say no, so the CES show is - this is a scheduled date you cannot miss - you can't miss it by five minutes, you can't miss it by a day and so we decided - and by we I mean the engineers, we didn't even really tell management about the C128 till it was too late and then we would do things to it. Like I added a z80 processor so it became - it's Commodore 64 compatible - so suddenly nobody's going to complain at me because there's no software, can run all the old software, but then turns out the z80 cartridge didn't work very well on the Commodore 64, so I just put the z80 right in the board and after the PC board Rev was done I said: oh by the way I added the z80, they knew they couldn't tell me to take it out now or we'll miss CES. So then pretty soon the guy would be: I had a great idea to leave the z80 in there you're like, cool go tell marketing, take a doorstop with you right. So one of the things we did is, even as we're getting ready for the CES show - it was January 6th that year I think - we're already getting ready for FCC, so we're working on the final production and that's all in five months. I started this near August and we had six - five or six customized C's that needed to be done and so again that was our wheelhouse - this is custom, this is custom, this is custom, that - one of the other ones in here - and we're going like the wind right. Well right near the end, the z80 stopped working reliably. It wouldn't boot CPM 20% of the time, and me and my boss were fighting. It's bound to happen right, he'd already gotten his bonus I think to let me go around barefooted was like wearing thin right. But the - - oh, I lost my train of thought that almost never happens when you get old… [laughter] You fought? Oh I was fighting with the boss and he said: fine, I'll give it to somebody else to fix that problem! I said: fine, I'll take a shower and go home and get a nap! Right, so for a week, I mean I had a great week. I caught up on my hygiene, (I won't tell you some of the other things you do when you're full of testosterone when you're young). But he comes to my office Friday, and in my mind he puffed on his cigar (you could still smoke in the office back then). I don't know if he had a cigar that day, but that's my memory and he goes: fix it or you're fired. I'm, oh sure I can do that, you're ready now for me to rejoin the workforce? Absolutely, I'm clean, I get along with people, and I just happen to luck out where I'm - the oscilloscopes of the day weren't like the Tektronix MSO scopes - like I got back there, I had to turn it up real bright, and then I would stare at it and then turn and look at a wall and I would see the reverse image and I go: there's a glitch right there - I'm pointing at it so someone can see it because he hasn't burned his retinas staring into the light - and they think I'm nuts, and I was right. There was a glitch on this A10 line, when the z80 was the processor, but when the 6502 was the processor there's no glitch. I mean it's right around when the D Rams were doing something and so it comes down to understanding how a signal propagates down and this is part of PC board layout right. And I liken it to when the 6502 was driving the length of the line that drove it all the way to the end, like playing a flute correctly, but when the z80 drove it from an extension down the line it was like blowing into one of the holes on the flute and it's kind of not - and so I got a standing wave, where the wave’s going back and forth and bouncing into itself and it just happened to do it on A10 at the wrong time and I caught it on the scope in an hour. Of course nobody believes me right, so and the way I made it work, was I took that wire that I showed you that's redundant. There's already a trace on the PC board, I just soldered this again so now it's actually a loop right it can't bounce - - Ah it had a return path, okay. Yeah or propagates like this, but either way it's not a standing wave anymore at a certain spot, and it just happened to be that spot was the multiplexer for the D-RAMs and they think I'm nuts right because not only do I fix it an hour, I fixed it with a wire! So we ran 10,000 units to prove that Herd's gone off the deep end and we got a hundred percent pass rate on it. It actually fixed the problem. So now the wire drives me nuts because there's 5.7 million wires out there and people said: why didn't you just change the PC board? It's like: because actually I found it this time, if there were no tools to do anything, if I change the PC board I might have moved a glitch to somewhere I can't find right. So the devil you know - and that's how it ended up going out. That's crazy - and from by the way - having a background in EMS. For an EMS provider, to have to put a wire on five million boards, that's crazy nobody would do that today but it's cool! We called it post solder assembly and it's horribly expensive that's five point seven million dollars. It probably cost $1, the wire was a penny and 99 cents to put it on there, so we just did that. There was one other fun issue with the schedule of the 128. Okay. At one point - and see we didn't have real deep analyzers and stuff - so when the processor goes flying off the tracks because the memory is corrupted you'd go, well when in the last two minutes or two million cycles did the corruption occur? Because the analyzer's not going to catch it, unless you're so lucky right. So one of the things I noticed is, it would corrupt in the video memory and the video's memory is being scanned 15,000 times, 60 cycles a second and so I took a light pin and I put it on this spot on the screen right where the corruption would occur and I sent my analyzer, so soon as the spot on the screen occurred the light pen triggered my analyzer. And it's actually a commodore light pin - I still have it - was actually plugged into the joystick port of the system on troubleshooting and it turns out - it was called ground lift, and you're probably familiar with that. There was a stub of a little over an eighth of an inch on the ground pin of a DRAM multiplexer, and it's inductance mixed with the capacitance meant it would come off of ground when you went to switch a whole bunch of zeros to a one - except for one - that other one became a one also it just dragged everything with it. Oh, got it. Yeah and I also took - literally another little piece of wire - fixed it and then I yelled at Fish to fix. That one I made him fix but the only way we could catch it in that case, is I used a light pin to catch this little 1/8 inch piece of trace that was just playing with me. Well you know what I love about these stories Bill, is that I think it's lovely to tell them and show people what a Wild West it was and how we solved, but people like you solved things really simply because now we sit on all these really complex tools and really we stand on the shoulders of people like you right, who were innovating back in the day where we did not have the complexity of tools or things and it's easy to take those things for granted now because so much can just run in the background and you so I think it's fascinating to hear these really - like these MacGyver ways that you figured out how to fix it - you're like the original PCB design MacGyver dude. So one other quick story and it goes right to that - about the tools and the software simulations and things and it's the day I knew I was working in the right place. And this isn't my story - this actually is the chip designer stories for the Ted, for that thing I showed you. They had design roll checks when they laid out an ICs that told him if two things got too close to each other, but they didn't have an electrical rule check to tell 'em if it's supposed to be shorted together or not, so they turned a corner. They had like A7, A8 and A9 cut right across the other to address lines and it shorted 'em out, and they had no way to check that - unless they hand looked at every plot of every layer of what made up an integrated circuit. Well they - meanwhile cost a quarter million dollars to do another run. So what they did - I'm in the hardware lab, and the guy goes: okay turn on that - turn on the microscope light. Okay turn it off - good we're in NTSC mode. And I turn and I look and I'm like: did you just flip the status of a register with photons while looking at it under the microscope? And he goes: yeah uh huh, and I'm like: AH I'm in the right place, this is where I wanna be! Yeah and they didn't have the tools that told them if what was on the schematics, what made it onto the chip. So yeah and they would spend five months, with a ruler actually called a scale, checking the plot. That's the only way they could do it. That's amazing well thank you for sharing this - unfortunately we're running out of time. But thank you so much for sharing your history and your ingenuity and the stories of Commodore and giving our listeners really some practical ways of just jumping into a new tool, if they have to right, nobody likes change but I'm sure you would attest to that overall has probably helped you become a better designer to go ahead and jump in and you could probably jump into a new tool easily now it probably doesn't freak you out as much as it used to. If you know you're going to be overwhelmed, then you're right on schedule when you get overwhelmed - and then you just go back into it and you know, how do you eat an elephant? A bite at a time - same thing. Just acceptance that it's going to be frustrating and this is the cycle. Yeah that you'll screw it up and then fix it, just don't ruin your libraries in the process. Okay, well some good, good wisdom. So thank you again Bill for your time, it's been a delight to hear about everything and I just by the way - best background - those of you listening, you really need to go look at the YouTube version of this, because his lab looks like you'd all want to go live in it man it looks like there's everything in there it's awesome. What's up with the penguin by the way? There's a penguin, that looks like it's standing on your shoulders? On the telly, it used to be on top of the oscilloscope but now it's just with you so that's that's a Monty Python penguin, that's from our era right? Totally, that is so funny! Okay, well thank you again for joining myself and Bill Herd today on Altium's OnTrack podcast. I'll make sure to share all of his colorful links and Wikipedia and videos from Hackaday and thanks for joining us again. We'll see you next time - until then remember to always stay on track.

Jmichaele Keller joins us and shares that he considered himself a global citizen upon his first trip out of the states when he was a kid. He appreciated architecture, went to Rome and as far as Asia to investigate. He found a calling though in computers- in which he started before there were Windows. He got a job as a room service waiter and fell in love with hospitality. He got one of the first IBM PCs that Marriott had- which had 64K of RAM and a 10 Megabyte hard drive. He made his way into finance and wowed executives by budgeting and forecasting using that now archaic machine. From there he went on to software and on to real estate. Jmichaele ultimately found his way into the cannabis industry through the very important work of lab testing.
In episode 8 of the Bally Alley Astrocast, Paul, Michael and I review the 4K Blast Droids cartridge that Esoterica released in 1983. This game was written by Dan Drescher, and J.P. Curran. We also review the BASIC game Haunted House released by New Image in 1981. Paul and I discuss the contents and programs included in the August and September 1979 issues of the Arcadian newsletter. We also read feedback from Arcadian readers that sent letters and postcards to Bob Fabris concerning the July 1979 survey question that asked if users would purchase a third-party keyboard and RAM upgrade. Lastly, we cover about ten letters that cover general topics that were sent to the Arcadian from late July to September 1979.

Haunted House "AstroBASIC" Instructions Treasures of Cathy ("AstroBASIC" Program) - This programs, by John Collins, seems like a fairly complex dungeon-crawler type game. The Crown of Zeus by Todd Johnson - This game is probably the most RPG-like game on the Astrocade. It is for AstroBASIC only. It takes you to a dark decaying castle in the evil land of Sorom. You've been asked, as the best warrior in the land of Beekum, to retrieve the Crown of Zeus which the Scromites have stolen. The crown, when worn, gives the wearer the awesome ability to cause anything he or she wishes to vanish. Apparently the Scromites have not yet discovered the crown's powers. But as you hid in the forest outside the castle, you saw a troop of orcs from the warring land of Machor slip in through the front gate. They surely know the power of the crown and will have to be dealt with... Arcadian Newsletter Arcadian 1, no. 9 (Aug. 18, 1979): 69-76. - The ninth issue of the Arcadian newsletter.

TV Output Notes by Marc Calson (possibly a misspelling of Mark Carlson). - The four pages of this document were created using the output of a short 10-line, BASIC program. Whoever sent this document to Bob methodically noted down four sets of numbers for each ASCII character. I can't say that I understand the listed decimal number information, but it seems to nicely supplement the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian's music coverage from Robert Hood (American Concert Frequencies) and the second part of Chuck Thomka's music tutorial, The Music Synthesizer. Hit the Pedestrian by Sebree's Computing (Timothy Hays) - This is a hand-written type-in program listing for Bally BASIC. Typed instructions are included. This program has not be digitally archived. Pictures of the Viper RAM Expansion - This hardware was released by Alternative Engineering. Pictures of the Keyboard for the Viper RAM Expansion Unit Aldo Trilogy by Dave and Benjamin Ibach - Three PC shareware titles for DOS released 1987-1991. These games do not run on the Astrocade. These games will run well under Windows when using a program called DOSBox (an emulator, of sorts). The games included are: Aldo's Adventure, Aldo Again, and Aldo's Assault. While these games won't run on the Astrocade, they do give a continued history of what Dave Ibach did (with his son) after he moved on from the Astrocade. The main character in this series of one-screen platform games looks suspiciously like someone named...Mario. Give these games a try-- you'll like 'em. The Bit Fidder's Corner by Andy Guevara - The Bit Fiddler's Corner is an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. The author, Andy Guevara, programmed the Machine Language Manager cartridge for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. This tutorial complements that cartridge, but has a general focus so this information can be used without reinterpretation by Astrocade assembly programmers, or those wishing to learn about the machine. The Music Synthesizer by Chuck Thomka - A tutorial on creating sound effects for the Astrocade. Black Box by B. Reany. - This Bally BASIC (300-baud) program was printed on page 74 of the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian. Black Box is a sort of Battleship game where the computer hides some "atoms" in a grid and you have to locate them. Use the diagram for clues. Space War by Dave Ibach - A 300-baud, Bally BASIC game that was printed in the September 1979 issue of the Arcadian. It's a neat idea for a two player game. Each player has a ship on one side of the screen, and can move up and down and fire at any angle. However, the ships are invisible, so you can only figure out where your opponent is when they fire a shot. XY Tutorial by Timothy Hays - A 12-page tutorial on the Bally BASIC XY command for exceptionally well controlled graphics. XY Tutorial Programs by Timothy Hays - This archive includes the Bally BASIC programs included with the XY Tutorial document. The six programs included are: 3-D Forward Simulation Above A Flat Plane, Cartesian Coordinates To XY Values Routine, Demonstration Program #2, Demonstration Program #2 (with Additions), Demonstration Program #4, and RND XY Value To Perspective Point. Responses to the Arcadian July 1979 Survey These letters relate to the programming keyboard survey on page 55 of the July 1979 issue of Arcadian. As a reminder, the survey questions were: "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with full capacity (reference page 21). Are you ready to pay $650 for it? "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with partial capacity (reference page 54). Are you ready to pay $350 for it? "Assume that we develop a keyboard that would have 16K RAM with upgrading capability of 24-plus K RAM, and some form of resident BASIC in 16K ROM, along with some features such as cassette motor control, word processing capability, etc. Are you ready to pay $350 for it? (Assuming that Bally does not produce in the same timeframe.) "A postal card with numbers down the side and yes/no opposite each is all that is necessary, but suggestions are certainly welcome. Also, tell me the model number and serial number of your machine if you haven't done so yet." Letter from Paul Zibits to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter from Kirk Gregg to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter From "Levin" to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979). Letter from M. Lewitzke to Bob Fabris. (August 2, 1979).

Letter from George Tucker to Bob Fabris. (October 16, 1979). Letters to the Arcadian Letter from Chuck Thomka to Bob Fabris. (1979, probably late January). - Chuck sent two programs with this letter: Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands and Leaning Aid for "&" Command. It seems that these two programs helped Chuck figure-out the sound capability of the Bally Arcade. He went on to use this information to write the Music Synthesizer tutorials in the July and August 1979 issues of the Arcadian. Chuck describes the printer that he uses to create the BASIC listing forms, "It actually doesn't take too long to create a form on what I use, which is a cross between a computer and a very high-speed line printer. It puts images on paper with laser optics utilizes Xerox xerographics. It's really quite an impressive machine. As an example of what can be done with it, well, if you can envision an 8 1/2" x 11" blank piece of paper and another 8 1/2" x 11" completely black piece of paper, this represents the extremes of the machine. Everything in-between (just about) can be done by this machine. That includes all different font sizes and styles, logos, lines and even signatures! All this with about the resolution of 300 dots to the inch. The speed of this machine is two full pages a second. If you wanted to print with a reduced print style and also have put two sides of data on the same side of the paper, this machine would print at equivalent speed of 36,000 lines per minute! Like I said, a very high-speed line printer!" Leaning Aid for '&' Command by Chuck Thomka. - A five-page program that is purely Chuck's own concoction. This program uses all but about 150 bytes of memory and is somewhat involved, but is informative as to the workings of all the possible '&' commands. Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands by Chuck Thomka - Submitted to Arcadian on January 5, 1979, but previously unpublished. A single-page modification to an existing Bally program which allows easy and quick changes to '&16' through '&23 commands [the sound ports]. Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age by Michael A. Hiltzik - Chuck Thomka works worked a Xerox, and he mentioned what sounds like a laser printer in his letter. This is an Amazon.com link to Dealers of Lightning, a book published in 2000. The creation of the laser printer is discussed in some detail here. It "is a fascinating journey of intellectual creation. In the 1970s and '80s, Xerox Corporation brought together a brain-trust of engineering geniuses, a group of computer eccentrics dubbed PARC. This brilliant group created several monumental innovations that triggered a technological revolution, including the first personal computer, the laser printer, and the graphical interface (one of the main precursors of the Internet), only to see these breakthroughs rejected by the corporation. Yet, instead of giving up, these determined inventors turned their ideas into empires that radically altered contemporary life and changed the world." Letter from Tracy Crook to Bob Fabris. (About 1979). - "I wanted to let you know where I am on the Bally expansion. So far, I've added 16K RAM, one serial port, two parallel ports and an ASCII keyboard. These all work very well. What has not worked so well, is some special logic used with the non-mask will direct. With this, I had hoped to use the Bally BASIC unmodified with the keyboard I added. As it is, I can input data from the keyboard under basic control (or machine language), but program entry and editing must still be done through the keypad. I can't get this to work, I guess Bally BASIC (or some other language) could be placed in RAM. A commented listing of Bally BASIC would be invaluable at this point. [...] With that info, we could tailor it a bit and put it in RAM. "At this point, I see the remainder of the expansion to be mainly a software effort, which is where I could use some help. The most important changes, I think, would be to get BASIC program storage out of internal (graphics) memory. This would greatly increase the color capabilities when using BASIC." [Note: Blue Ram BASIC does this, which is why more colors are available to this expanded BASIC.] "Another interesting possibility open by having RAM memory available is the ability to load it with data from any of the game cartridges (which were previously dumped onto a cassette tape) and then switch this memory into the bank normally signed the plug-in cartridge. This is quite easy to do. At this point the Bally would perform exactly as if you had plugged in the game cartridge that the data came from." [The Blue Ram, Viper and Lil' White RAM expansion units all allow for this.] "The end result would be that you could have the entire library of Bally games in a couple of cassette tapes. Bally might not be too wild about this idea, I assure you it would work." "In the meantime, in order to ease programming the Bally, I use another one of the microcomputers I own, which has an ASCII keyboard, to write Bally BASIC programs on and then dump them on tape in a format compatible with the Bally. Doing it off like this has some disadvantages, but it sure beats that key pad." "Haven't done much on it lately, as my Bally was struck by lightning about five weeks ago, and it still not back from the factory." Letter from Ed Mulholland to Bob Fabris. (July 1, 1979 / July 23, 1979). - In the July 1'st letter, Ed says, "The schematics to our Ballys show a 10-pin and a 26-pin port in addition to the IEEE-488 port. My machine did not have 26-pin port as shown in the photo on page 14 of the [Bally PA-1] service. This would still be only a small inconvenience because the pin numbers and functions as shown on the schematic." The second part of the letter (dated July 23) shows how the 10-wire 24-key keypad is arranged. I think that this information is meant to help explain how to wire a 63-key "full size" ASCII keyboard in parallel with the 24-key keypad. Letter from Robert Dahl to Bob Fabris. (July 29, 1979). - Mr. Dahl suggests that future issues the Arcadian leave room so that a hole punch can be used so that the issues can be stored in a binder. He says, "They are well worth saving." I agree! On July 27, Mr. Dahl received a mimeographed copy of the Hacker's Manual from Bally. He notes that they included a letter that says they do not expect the keyboard expansion to be released this year Robert Dahl notes that he was able to order the Amazing Maze/Tic-Tac-Toe cartridge from Montgomery Ward's catalog. He got the cartridge in just three days. He adds that a fellow, who sells the Arcade and its accessories, tells him that he has a standing order for all arcade items, but gets more promises than anything else from a wholesale distributor in Milwaukee. This man had been trying to get the Amazing Maze cartridge ever since he first heard about it and he had yet to get it. Mr. Dahl figures that Bally's distribution must be out of whack. Mr. Dahl has typed in various versions of Slot Machine. He talks about three that he has used comparing and contrasting differences between them. Mr. Dahl makes a comment that the Checkers game number six had him puzzled. He was expecting a regular checkerboard on the TV screen. He says that, "Right now, it's beginning to soak-in that I should take a checkerboard and number the squares and move the pieces around as the numbers on the screen direct?" [Is this accurate?!?] Letter from Andy Guevara to Bob Fabris. (July 30, 1979). - Andy Guevara wrote several programs that were published in the Arcadian and Cursor/BASIC Express newsletters. Andy programmed the Machine Language Manager, a 2K cartridge that was released in 1982 by The Bit Fiddlers. He released a few tapes, including Candy Man and Chicken, two games released on tape that were written in mostly machine language. He wrote Ms. Candyman and Sea Devil, both of which are 4K cartridges that were released 1983 by L&M Software. Mr. Guevara also wrote The Bit Fiddler's Corner, an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. Andy just received his first stack of Arcadian newsletters. He has had his Bally arcade for five months and never dreamed that so much information could be further developed. He has dumped the Baseball cartridge, and is pleased to see that other people have made ROM dumps too. Mr. Guevera is looking into expanding his internal memory from 4K to 12K of RAM with a single IC designed by Harris Semiconductor. He goes into detail about how this might work. Andy has come up with a solution for Bob to be able to print programs. He provides details and a schematic on a device that can be used that will use a UART to allow the Bally to print. Although Andy has only had his Bally Professional Arcade model BPA-1100 for five months, the innards have already had to be changed twice. Letter from Richard Dermody to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Richard's interest has been piqued by the announcement of the keyboard project. So much so, that he has already gone out and bought a keyboard for the project. He says, the "glimmer of a future for the Arcade as a computer [...] has prompted [him] to retain his [Arcade] with hopes for the future." Richard notes that while he understands the difficulties that Bally may be having with the FCC, he has noticed that other companies, such as Apple, have made significant progress in the same time period since the Arcade was first announced. Richard is on his second Bally arcade. He had to return his first one to Montgomery Ward as "it tended to self-destruct after being in operation for a while." Mr. Dermody hopes that reviews of the Bally cartridges will be in future issues. There is no local retailer for these items where he lives so his only resort is mail-order. He would like to have some idea of what he is ordering before he places an order. Letter from Guy McLimore to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Guy gives an unqualified "yes" to all the survey questions that Bob asked the previous issue of the Arcadian. Guy says that he wants and needs a keyboard badly. An interesting bit here is that Ken Ballard, the owner of ABC Hobbycraft, has commissioned a professional hardware/software man to develop a 64K keyboard memory expansion to be sold commercially. The unit is still in the planning stages, but [they] hope that it will be ready by December." This seems overly optimistic, since it is nearly August already. I don't recall ever hearing about this from any other source. It is interesting that so many people wanted to build, create or purchase a memory expansion/keyboard for their Bally unit. Guy really enjoyed Chuck Thomka's synthesizer tutorial. He found the two accompanying programs very useful. He does wonder how Bell Telephone feels about the programs, however. He notes that if you add the buttons A-D to the Touch-Tone dialer program (Touch Tone Simulate), then you have a semi-efficient Black Box for receiving free telephone calls. The Touch-Tone dialer doesn't work in Guy's local area. He thinks that Indiana Bell has an acoustical filter that prevents Touch-Tone signals from being input to the microphone from the handset. By popular demand, ABC hobby craft is now accepting mail orders for Bally hardware, W&W software, Stocker Software, and Skyrocket Software (Guy's company). Guys makes an observation about the tape quality for software that is being sold through the Arcadian classified ads. It seems that the people distributing their software on tape are using cheap tapes brands which makes loading the tapes difficult. He notes that the Dave Stocker software is also available on micro cassettes. I don't know of any other Bally software that was distributed on these tiny tapes. Guy has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of response he received to the listing of his Fantasy Games #1 package in the Arcadian. Despite the fact that it is a limited program designed only for those persons familiar with fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, the program sold remarkably well! Phenomenally well, in fact, given an audience of relatively few people. Guy will be creating programs under the name Skyrocket Software with his partner Greg Poehlein. They intend to sell software for the Bally, TRS-80 and eventually other systems. He says they won't be turning it out fast, but they will be turning it out good, paralleling Bally's own stated policy of producing fewer top quality cartridges as opposed to Atari's more is better philosophy Letter from Jeff Frederiksen to Bob Fabris. (August, 20 1979).- This letter is from Jeff Frederiksen, the chief engineer behind designing the Bally Professional Arcade hardware. It seems that this letter was accompanied by some hardware. The letter simply states: "The enclosed assemblies replace the 75361 clock driver, located in the oscillator shield. The failure of the 75361 is that the 6V high time after warm-up drops below 55ns causing the data chip to appear defective. If you do not have this sinking clock syndrome, replacement is not necessary. I hope you find the enclosed hardware description useful." Letter from Jeff Grothaus to Bob Fabris. (August 31, 1979). - Jeff is building his own cassette tape interface from the schematics on page 20 of the Arcadian and page 4 of the Bally Hacker's Manual. He has run into a few difficulties and is hoping to get some help. He also wonders if Bob knows if anyone else has created a working interface from the schematics. There's a handwritten note from Bob where he simply writes, "No." I find it interesting that Jeff is actually building his own tape interface. This interface would be of no use without the basic cartridge. At the time, I think, the tape interface was easy enough to get for $50. I wonder if Jeff was trying to save money, or if he was having difficulty finding the necessary hardware to use with Bally BASIC and a tape recorder. Letter from Karen Nelson to Bob Fabris. (September 10, 1979). - Karen is a programmer who got interested in the Bally when JS&A advertised it in Scientific American in 1977. She was told that she was one of the first people to get her hands on one. She was very excited about machines potential, but was disillusioned by the heat problems which were inherent in the first machines. She "burned out" two of the units. Just after she returned the second unit, she discovered that her programming instructor was doing the graphics for the Bally. She says, "Yes, folks, it was the infamous Tom DeFanti and his magic Z-GRASS." She knows Tom well enough to drop into his "Graphics Habitat" at the University of Chicago to talk intelligently about some of his projects. She also knows Nola Donato and a few other of Tom students who are working on projects for Bally. Tom has had the University of Chicago purchase eight Bally's and eight Sony TVs to teach students the basics of computers and programming. In August 1979, Tom was the chairman of a traffic seminar held jointly by IEEE and ACM/SIGGRAPH. For three nights, Tom and his crew presented new and interesting works in various areas of computer graphics (including a few by people using Bally Arcades). In addition to the seminar, a graphics experiment Expo was held and it was there that Karen met some of the guys from Dave Nutting, in particular Ricky Spiece (who developed the Football cartridge). Ricky was helpful and showed Karen some tricks (like the ports in BASIC), and he also demonstrated the graphics capabilities by loading a picture from a disk to a color monitor. In addition, his Bally was connected to a B&W monitor and a keyboard. His commands appeared on the black-and-white monitor, and the graphics were displayed on the color monitor. However, the whole setup was attached with the Bally board mounted in a frame, not in the case, which leads Karen to believe that some special wiring is needed. Karen describes her experimentation with the different ports available in BASIC. Karen has recently seen the pinball cartridge demoed at the graphic seminar. She says that it looks pretty good. She heard one of the Dave Nutting guys say that he had just sent the thing off to Bally and that it should be out on the market pretty soon. Karen says that there was a demo of Z-GRASS, but that she didn't get to see it. She does note that as a student of De Fanti, she learned how to program in GRASS-- Z-GRASS's daddy-- using a PDP-11/45. Karen is glad to find out that there are other people like her who think that the Bally Arcade/computer has a lot more potential than most people give it credit for. She hopes that Bob Fabris might be able to pass on some information to whoever the marketing manager at Bally is. She would like to see the Bally advertisement computer magazines such as BYTE and Personal Computing. She would like to see Bally stress that most people buy home computers for games and that Bally has terrific controls, and that by the time people become interested in programming, Bally will have add-on module available. She also says that the graphics capabilities of the Bally have no competition; they are the best, and the Arcade is dirt cheap when compared to other systems.

This week on BSDNow, Allan is currently at EuroBSDCon! However due to the magic of video (or time travel), you still get a new episode. (You're Welcome!). Stay tuned This episode was brought to you by Headlines Performance Improvements for FreeBSD Kernel Debugging (http://backtrace.io/blog/blog/2016/08/25/improving-freebsd-kernel-debugging/) “We previously explored FreeBSD userspace coredumps (http://backtrace.io/blog/blog/2015/10/03/whats-a-coredump). Backtrace's debugging platform supports FreeBSD kernel coredumps too, and their traces share many features. They are constructed somewhat differently, and in the process of adding support for them, we found a way to improve performance for automated programs accessing them.” “A kernel core is typically only generated in exceptional circumstances. Unlike userspace processes, kernel routines cannot fault without sacrificing the machine's availability. This means things like page faults and illegal instructions inside the kernel stop the machine, instead of just one process. At that point, in most cases, it is only usable enough to inspect its state in a debugger, or to generate a core file.” No one likes it when this happens. This is why backtrace.io is focused on being able to figure out why it is happening “A FreeBSD kernel core file can be formatted in several different ways. This depends on which type of dump was performed. Full core dumps are ELF files, similar in structure to userspace core files. However, as RAM size grew, this became more difficult to manage. In 2006, FreeBSD introduced minidumps, which are much smaller without making the core file useless. This has been the default dump type since FreeBSD 6.0.” The article goes into detail on the minidump format, and some basic debugging techniques “Libkvm will first determine whether the virtual address lies within the kernel or direct maps. If it lies in the kernel map, libkvm will consult the page table pages to discover the corresponding physical address. If it lies in the direct map, it can simply mask off the direct map base address. If neither of these applies, the address is illegal. This process is encapsulated by vatopa, or “virtual address to physical address”. Once the physical address is determined, libkvm consults the core file's bitmap to figure out where in the core file it is located.” “minidumps include a sparse bitmap indicating the pages that are included. These pages are dumped sequentially in the last section. Because they are sparse in a not entirely predictable way, figuring the offset into the dump for a particular physical address cannot be reduced to a trivial formula.” The article goes into detail about how lookups against this map are slow, and how they were improved “For typical manual debugger use, the impact of this change isn't noticeable, which is probably why the hash table implementation has been in use for 10 years. However, for any automated debugging process, the extra latency adds up quickly.” “On a sample 8GB kernel core file (generated on a 128GB server), crashinfo improves from 44 seconds to 9 seconds, and uses 30% less memory” “Backtrace began shipping a version of this performance improvement in ptrace in February 2016. This enables us to also offer significantly faster tracing of FreeBSD kernel cores to customers running current and older releases of FreeBSD. On July 17, 2016, our work improving libkvm scaling was committed to FreeBSD/head. It will ship with FreeBSD 12.0.” *** OpenBSD gunzip pipeline tightening (https://www.mail-archive.com/tech@openbsd.org/msg34035.html) OpenBSD has rethought the way they handle package signing Changing from: 1/ fetch data -> 2/ uncompress it -> 3/ check signature -> 4/ process data To: 1/ fetch data -> 2/ check signature -> 3/ uncompress -> 4/ process data “The solution is to move the signature outside of the gzip header” “Now, Since step 1/ is privsep, as long as step 2 is airtight, 3/ and 4/are no longer vulnerable” Guidelines: small, self-contained code to parse simple gzip headers signify-style signature in the gzip comment. Contains checksums of 64K blocks of the compressed archive don't even think about passing the original gzip header through use as a pipeline step: does not need to download full archive to use it, and never ever pass any data to the gunzip part before it's been verified. “Note that afaik we haven't had any hole in our gunzipping process. Well… waiting for an accident to happen is not how we do things. Hopefully, this should prevent future mishaps.” *** OpenVPN On FreeBSD 10.3 (http://ramsdenj.com/2016/07/25/openvpn-on-freebsd-10_3.html) “While trying to setup OpenVPN, I noticed there was no up-to-date information with correct instructions. OpenVPN uses EasyRSA to setup keys, it has recently been changed in version 3. As a result of this, the old steps to configure OpenVPN are no longer correct. I went through the process of setting up a VPN using OpenVPN on FreeBSD 10.3.” I know FreeBSD developer Adrian Chadd complained about this exact problem when he was trying to setup a VPN before attending DEFCON The tutorial walks through the basic steps: Install the needed software Configure EasyRSA Create a CA Generate keys and DH params OpenVPN Server Config OpenVPN Client Config Starting the daemon It even finishes off with bonus instructions on Port Forwarding, Firewalls, and Dynamic DNS *** lsop (https://github.com/606u/lsop) LSOP is the tool a bunch of users have been asking for “a FreeBSD utility to list all processes running with outdated binaries or shared libraries” How does it work? “lsop iterates over all running processes and looks through memory-mapped files with read + execute access; then it checks if those files are still available or have been modified/deleted.” How would you use it? After installing an system update (that doesn't require a reboot to update the kernel), or upgrade your packages, you still need to know which daemons need to be restarted to use the patched libraries and binaries This tool gives you that list Thanks to Bogdan Boyadzhiev for writing this much needed tool *** News Roundup OpenBSD 2016 Fundraising Campaign (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/campaign2016.html) The OpenBSD fund-raising campaign has given us a status update on the state of 2016. They start by giving us a re-cap of previous years: “2015 was a good year for the foundation financially, with one platinum, one gold, four silver and 3 bronze donors providing half of our total donations. 680 individuals making smaller contributions provided the other half. While the total was down significantly after 2014's blockbuster year, we again exceeded our goal.” As of Sept 5th, they were at approx $115k out of a total goal of 250k. If you are an OpenBSD user, remember to contribute before the end of the year. Small amounts help, and the money of course goes to great causes such as hackathons and running the OpenBSD infrastructure. Update firewall Bad Countries (https://github.com/KaiLoi/update-fw-BC) Network and Systems admins know, sometimes when all else fails you need to break out the HUGE ban-hammer. In this case sometimes entire countries get put on the excrement list until the attacks stop. We have a handy GitHub project today, which will assist you in doing exactly that, enter update-fw-BC. (Update firewall by country) This perl script may be your savior when dealing with instances that require major brute force. It specifically works with IPFW, PF and IPTABLES, which will allow it to run across a variety of BSD's or even Linux. It will ingest a list of IP's that you feed it (perhaps from another tool such as sshguard) and determine what block the IP belongs to, and match according to country. Detailed setup instructions for the various firewalls are included, and some instructions for FreeBSD, although using it on OpenBSD or other $BSD should also be easy to adapt. *** More utilities via moreutils (https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20160822#tips) In most BSDs, the “core” set of utilities and commands are just part of the base system, but on Linux, they are usually provided by the “coreutils” package. However, on Linux and now FreeBSD, there is a “moreutils” package, that provides a number of interesting additional basic utilities, including: chronic: Run a task via crontab, and only generate output if the task fails combine: binary AND two text files together, only displaying lines that are in both files errno: look up the text description of a specific error number ifdata: parse out specific information from ifconfig ifne: if-not-empty, only run a command if the output of the pipe is not blank isutf8: determine if a file or stdin contains utf8 lckdo: execute a command with a lock held, to prevent a second copy from spawning mispipe: return the exit code of the first command in a pipe chain, rather than the last parallel: run multiple jobs at once pee: tee standard input to multiple pipes sponge: write standard input to a file, allows you to overwrite a file in place: sort file | sponge file ts: add a timestamp to each line of standard input vidir: edit a directory in vi, great for bulk renames vipe: insert vi into a pipe, edit the content before it is passed to the next command zrun: uncompress the arguments before passing them. Like gzless and friends, but for any command Just goes to show the power of the original UNIX philosophy, chaining together a bunch of small useful tools to do really powerful things *** OpenBSD: SNI support added to libtls, httpd in –current (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160823100144) libtls, LibreSSL's improved API to replace the OpenSSL standard, now has a set of functions to implement SNI (Server Name Indication) Until a few years ago, each different SSL/TLS enabled website required a unique IP address, because typical HTTP Virtual Hosting (differentiating which content to serve based on the Host header in the HTTP request), didn't work because the request was encrypted. Finally the TLS standard was updated to include the hostname of the site the user is requesting in the TLS handshake, so the server can return the corresponding certificate, and multiple TLS enabled websites can be hosted on a single IP address The new API includes the ability to provide additional keypairs (via tlsconfigaddkeypair{file,mem}()) And allow the server to determine what servername the client requested viatlsconnservername() This is much easier to use, and therefore safer and less error prone, than the OpenSSL API The libtls API is used in a number of OpenBSD tools, including the httpd *** Beastie Bits Shawn Webb of HardenedBSD joins the OPNSense Core Team (https://opnsense.org/new-core-team-member/) How to install 2.11 BSD on a (simulated) PDP11 (http://vak.ru/doku.php/proj/pdp11/211bsd) OpenBSD Puffy needlepoint pixelart (https://nemessica.tintagel.pl/blog/OpenBSD-Puffy/) PulseAudio has been removed from dports (DragonFly BSD) (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2016-August/313010.html) pfSense 2.4 pre-alpha available for testing, based on FreeBSD 11.0 (https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=2118) Call for Testing - Bhyve HDA Sound Emulation (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2016-September/004700.html) *** Feedback/Questions Matthew - ZFS Hole Birth (http://pastebin.com/CrZiDAF0) Hunter - systemd-mount (http://pastebin.com/GztjY4wz) Anonymous - Cool'n'quiet (http://pastebin.com/gG4j4RCi) Nathan - Datacenter (http://pastebin.com/9XgPzMM9) Chuck - OpenBSD w/DO (http://pastebin.com/FM2xYcxh) ***

Is Bi-Vocational ministry effective in today's church culture? Is it a viable way for pastors to support their families while doing church ministry? Today, I share some of my experiences working in bi-vocational ministry and offer some constructive ways to navigate this challenge. Here is the free download I offered on the show: Transcript of Today's Show Carpenter, mason, short-order cook, farm hand, teacher’s aide, insurance salesman, ADT home security salesman, Advertising representative, Registered Investment Advisor. What do all these have in common? Me. These are all jobs that I have worked through the years doing bi-vocational ministry. For the uninitiated, bi-vocational ministry (bi-vo for short) is conducting church ministry while working a second job at the same time. You work the second job because either you are a pioneer church-planter with a dream, or your congregation has not reached a point where they can pay you adequately to meet your financial obligations. I have been in both of these worlds. During my early years in ministry, I belonged to a ministry that was expanding and my primary job was to pioneer new outreach centers. I would go into a city, find a cheap rent, paint and decorate the environment and start weekly meetings and Bible studies. That was really tough work, and I am among that small contingent of weirdos that really enjoyed every minute of it. I am a church planter at heart and the idea of creating a congregation out of thin air appeals to me. I think I’ve met about 2 other people in my lifetime that relate to that, but moving on. The smarter route for church planting is what many others do which is build a team first, create a budget, develop a vision and marketing strategy and then plant. I didn’t say I was smart, I am just telling you what I did. In any case, money and I didn’t get along in those early years. I’m not sure whether money and I have ever gotten very close, but I have always been passionate about doing ministry work, whatever the cost. Working a job on the side in some ways made it easier to build a church because the main expense in small churches is salary and facilities. By working on the side, we could always keep our expenses low, which gave us a better chance to get the church up and running; at least that is the way I thought at the time. If you’ve listened to my first show, you know that Patti and I raised 4 children over the course of our ministry lives. You also know that I am a New Englander. To other Americans, you have dubbed us the land of the frozen chosen; sometimes with good reason. If you are from another part of the world, this region of our country is known as fiercely independent and more often than not, non-Christian. Getting a church started in these parts is made more difficult by the fact that the culture is not church oriented as it is in the South of our country. If you tell someone that you are bi-vocational and that your main passion is planting churches, the most enthusiastic response you’re likely to get is, “Ohhhh….that’s nice.” (That is a not-so-subtle way of saying, “How can I get out of this conversation?”) So, as a bi-vo minister, society itself does not really understand your or why you do what you do. OK, I need to be honest and share a true confession at this point. My topic today is completely misleading. It is supposed to be the joy of serving a church as a bi-vocational minister. I wanted to give you a backdrop of some of my own life so that I would have the credibility to say this: Do everything in your power to avoid bi-vocational ministry. It is a trap. I will explain that in a moment. You’ve heard me share the statistics that more than 1500 pastors leave the ministry every month in America. That is startling, but not surprising. You’ve also heard me say that one of the top three reasons is finances. Pastors are paid poorly for what they do. Because true pastors love people, they are often willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to fulfill their call and serve people, even at their own expense. This sounds altruistic and wonderful, but in reality, it seldom ends well. By and large, people in your congregations don’t understand what you do as a minister. Your job can change every day, sometimes from hour to hour. The typical pastor is ruled by the unexpected, very much like a police officer. An police officer may experience days of boredom and paperwork followed by intense, white knuckle encounters with deadly criminals. Well, hopefully the similarities to pastors are not quite that dramatic, but what I mean to say is that you will have days when peace and quiet allow you to do the study work necessary to do great ministry and other times when your congregation requires you to be present. Unexpected tragedies or sickness occur. A key member of your church suddenly needs crisis counseling or a colleague needs help that was not part of your schedule. 101 things come up which can move you in unplanned ways. I am not saying that you should be ruled by the tyranny of the urgent and if you are, we’ll be talking about that in an upcoming episode. My point is however, that as a minister, you must be ready for the unexpected. The additional challenge is that because people really don’t get what you do, they often conclude you don’t do “real work” like they do. They view pastoral work as a lazy job, sitting around reading the bible all day or goofing off at the golf club. As a result of their perception, many don’t want to see you paid properly. Secretly, they want you to work a secular job so that you can experience what “real” work is all about. Truthfully, working a second job does in fact give you more compassion for people in the pews. If you have never worked in the secular arena, you can easily become careless with peoples’ time not realizing that they also have families to raise, jobs to do and obligations to fulfill. Beyond that however, working a secular job is a trap. Now, I do understand that there are sometimes situations where working another job is necessary. People are quick to remind us that Paul was a tentmaker and did bi-vo himself which is true – on one occasion. We don’t ever hear him advise Timothy or any other minister to pursue bi-vocational jobs however. Bi-vocational ministry is not the norm but the exception. Paul did tent-making out of necessity in a new church environment. He did not continue throughout his lifetime as a tentmaker, but got himself free of it as quickly as possible. Bi-Vo is a trap because it is predicated on something that seldom turns out as expected. The concept is that you will work bi-vocationally until the church has enough money to pay you properly. The problem with that thinking is twofold. First, the church gets used to paying you poorly as a habit. All habits start with a thought, become and action and eventually become a habit. The thought is that the church can save money by not paying you what you’re worthy. The action of not paying you is repeated over and over until it becomes a church habit. As the habit becomes ensconced, it becomes the church’s culture. Not paying the pastor becomes the norm. Everyone likes saving money, but the vision suffers. If costs are low, people don’t see the necessity of giving, so offerings go down. People give money to what they value. By working bi-vocationally, you have unintentionally communicated that you are not of much value, strange as that may seem. In your heart, you just want to serve God and his people, but by working a secular job, you are really telling them you’re not worth much. Strange isn’t it? In your effort to serve, you actually have caused yourself great harm. Without realizing it, you put a price-tag on yourself by working a second job. Secondly, the obligations of ministry always go up, not down. As a bi-vo, your contribution is basically preaching on Sundays. When do you get the time to do proper study? On the fly. Ultimately, that means your sermons are hurried, not well thought out. Sermons are often pieced together by whatever is on your mind at the time. Great sermons require reflection, prayer and hearing God. You don’t have time for that. As a result, the flock is not fed well, spiritually speaking. As a bi-vo, you know in your heart that the sermons are not your best effort. So now you feel guilty for not serving people what they need. You feel exhausted, overworked and distraught, but still must plaster a smile on your face every Sunday and act like everything is just dandy. It’s not though, is it? On the inside, you feel trapped, but then you look at your bills, ignore the guilt and hope things will change in the future. Here’s a little tip from someone who has been there. It does change, but not for the better. Because you’re not doing the best job in sermon preparation, your church fails to attract and keep new people. Think about it. If you were a new Christian, which church would you attend: one that has a pastor who preaches sermons that are on target each week or one where everyone is running around with their heads cut off where the pastor is apologizing for everything that isn’t working? When new people do come to services and learn that you are bi-vocational, they conclude that your church is probably unstable financially. They won’t tell you, but they start looking elsewhere, so bi-vo’s tend to see a lot of people come and go. Whether you like to hear this or not and your probably won’t, your church is as much as business as any other. You are in the business of changing lives. That means, like any business, you’ll need to invest hours into studying your target market, devising strategies and programs to reach them and managing an organization designed to meet current needs while preparing for future growth. All this takes lots of time which you don’t have as a bi-vo. The worse thing about bi-vocational ministry is the cost to your family. Working two jobs means your spouse and children suffer. You are never around, and when you are, you are sleeping. Pastor, your first church is your family. They need your care. They need you to be present, not always mentally disengaged thinking about all the stuff you have to get done. They need you to hang out with them, go places together. Your kids need mentoring. The key reason pastors kids go astray is that they see their father or mother always available to the church but never to them. Leaders, you don’t have a lot of time to raise your kids. It goes very, very fast and you don’t get a second shot. James describes our life as a vapor that appear and vanishes. I could swear I was 12 years old a minute ago. Don’t waste your years working a second job. Your family needs you. I am pleading with you here. I cannot tell you how many churches are destroyed by the dysfunction of the pastor’s family. Mom and dad are giving themselves to the church 24/7 and their kids hate church. So many PK’s are living broken lives of promiscuity, drug and alcohol addiction trying to get attention of their parents. This is one unexpected consequence of bi-vocational ministry. The trap you easily fall into is that if you can just work a few more days, weeks, months or years, that you can go full-time. I want to tell you folks, only a small percentage of ministers ever succeed at that strategy. In my opinion, you need to get out of Bi-vo ministry as soon as possible. If you are just starting out starting from scratch, 6 mos. to a year should be your aim. How can you do it? How can you make the change? Well, that is the 64K question. Let me offer three important steps. First, teach yourself. Don’t be offended, but your theology is all messed up. Somewhere along the line, you’ve accepted the lie that ministry is not really an important job. We probably unconsciously allow the media to frame this idea. Wherever it comes from, it is a lie. As a result, a lot of your church people are misinformed as well. Don’t let their dysfunctions determine your course of action. You are a shepherd, so lead people. I Corinthians 9:14: In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it. (NLT) I like the old KJV on this one: Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. What does ordained mean to you? It means that God already made up his mind and set in stone how he wants his church to operate. God decided that his ministers have value. That means that I am worth every penny for what I do and then some. The church I serve needs to understand that I am critical to it’s survival. I am infinitely more important than facilities, utility bills or mass mailers. If a church does grasp this, it will never success. If a church does not honor its minister financially, it will not grow. (Again) A Church will grow in direct proportion to how well its minister does. Let me tell you something you already know. You’ve heard the adage, happy wife, happy life. There is a lot of truth there. If your spouse is always stressed over money and the family is neglected so you can make ends meet, you face a life of constant stress. That is not healthy either for you or your church, so Second, teach your church and your board about what needs to happen. Be bold. Take the time to share scripture to build a proper biblical foundation about money. Most ministers are afraid to speak about money. Two things about that: First, Jesus talked about money a lot…a lot. Second, the saying that all the church does is talk about money is actually the opposite. Research has shown that churches seldom if ever talk about money for fear that people will not come back. Pastors cannot train disciples if they don’t speak openly and honestly about how the church is supported and why people need to give as part of their worship. If a church refuses to change with respect to paying you properly, that church will never will not grow. That is the reality. It is probably time to cut your losses and go elsewhere. A friend of mine has rightly said, go where you are appreciated, not tolerated If they do respond, make a plan to start paying you better. Perhaps it is over a year, but get to full time status as quickly as possible. Third, take the plunge. I am going to tell you from experience, it is always a leap of faith. I won’t take more of your time in this podcast, but when I quit my last job, it was never a worse time financially. I won’t go into the details, but for me I just came to the realization that God had not called me to secular work. It wasn’t that I was not good at it, because I was, earning many awards. It was because it did not fit me. Pastor, church leader: you’re worth it. The Bible says that a laborer is worthy of his hire. That is you. Don’t short-change yourself with years of bi-vocational work. Don’t buy into the lie that it will make you a better pastor. That nonsense is propagated by those who enjoy seeing you poor. Pray on this and take action. God will help you. I have a free download for you with the main points I have just shared with you. You can download it here. Today’s quote is from T.D. Jakes: “Many of us harbor hidden low self-esteem. We deem everything and everyone more important that ourselves and think that meeting their needs is more important than meeting our own. But if you run out of gas, everyone riding with you will be left stranded.”
In this episode, I start out with an invaluable writing tip for long works. While writing the first draft, you don't want to stop for research and such. You can use Find and Replace to locate bookmarked spots where work is needed. You can put the word BOOKMARK or something of your own choosing. You can also do RESEARCH, TIMELINE, and others as needed. It's crazy what authors Google search when writing a book. "Erase my search history if I die" is a meme. If you have any questions about this, drop me a line. Next, I talk about how people who text you in error don't believe you when you say they have the wrong number. I give a couple anecdotes of this happening to me. It's very frustrating. I live in cocaine country, and I thought someone was trying to get hold of their dealer, but they really wanted the Avon lady! I watched the Grammy's for the first time in decades. There was no Gaga or Kanye, thank God. There was Katy Perry and T-Swift, though. Katy Perry had 226 cliches on her last album. Wow. No wonder she sounds generic. That fact was from Gawker. Now everybody lip syncs, but they are sneaky because they record new "live" versions for them to lip sync to so it sounds live. Some of them that actually do sing use a prerecorded tape to sing along with. Willie Nelson and Kristofferson really sang, and their voices were stronger than Pharell's. I read "Call of the Wild" by Jack London. I decided to just go through the Wiki page because it was full of interesting information. Sorry to use the crutch, but that's what they do on talk radio, right? I did read the book, though. It came out as serialized fiction in 1903. I think writing it like that might make them pack it full of things that happen. The book starts out with a dog named Buck in California. The Klondike Gold Rush is going on and sled dogs are in demand. Buck gets stolen by the gardener's assistant. "Atavistic" comes up a lot and it means returning to something primal inside. Hunter Thompson uses that word a lot. Buck turns into a killing machine by the end of the book. I interrupt with a discussion of how cold it is here in Northern Mexico/Southern Texas. Buck gets shipped to Seattle in a crate, then gets beaten with a club by a man in a red sweater. He learns 'the law of the club'. Buck is a huge dog like Cujo. Buck gets sold to two French-Canadians and they take him to the Klondike. Buck enters a pack society of sled dogs. There is a leader named Spitz, and Buck eventually defeats him and the pack rips him apart. It's a brutal book. I liked the writing style. It's formal, but simple. The descriptions of instinct were very good. The whole pack gets sold to haul mail to mining camps. Buck gets stronger. Then they get sold to a trio of idiots who don't know what they are doing. They are just there for the gold rush. Buck refuses to pull them after a while and a man named John Thornton takes custody of him. The idiots fall into a river and drown with the rest of the pack. Thornton and Buck fall in love with each other. Buck wins a bet for him by pulling a huge sled out of the ice. Buck starts going out on sojourns with a wild wolf and getting really atavistic. One day he comes back to camp and his master has been killed by natives. Buck rips their throats out. He becomes a legend to the natives, called the "Ghost Dog". Jack London was a hobo, which reminded me of a Whitesnake song. Hobo is not a good word to use in a rock song. He got scurvy and his gums swelled up, so he returned to California. He sold his first story to "Cosmo" magazine. "Call of the Wild" was printed in the "Saturday Evening Post". Some people thought London was a dog whisperer, but he wasn't really. The story is an allegory. Next, I talk about Peter Freuchen. He is a giant who looks like Mick Fleetwood. He has a fur coat and a peg leg and is probably the most interesting man in the world. His gal was named Dagmar, which is a great name, and she was pretty interesting, too. She was a margarine heiress. Freuchen did lots of interesting things like fight Nazi's and cut himself out of a snow cave with a feces knife. He even won the $64K question on the early game show. On this day in 1978, Van Halen's first single was released, and it was a high water mark in the history of teenage boys. I talk about how much I love Van Halen and Eddie's 'brown' sound.

A prospective study of a normal childhood population identified 44 islet cell antibody positive individuals. These subjects were typed for HLA DR and DQ alleles and investigated for the presence of antibodies to the Mr 64,000 (64K) islet cell antigen, complement-fixing islet cell antibodies and radiobinding insulin autoantibodies to determine their potency in detecting subjects with impaired Beta-cell function. At initial testing 64K antibodies were found in six of 44 islet cell antibody positive subjects (13.6%). The same sera were also positive for complement-fixing islet cell antibodies and five of them had insulin autoantibodies. During the follow-up at 18 months, islet cell antibodies remained detectable in 50% of the subjects studied. In all six cases who were originally positive, 64K antibodies were persistently detectable, whereas complement-fixing islet cell antibodies became negative in two of six and insulin autoantibodies in one of five individuals. HLA DR4 (p < 0.005) and absence of asparic acid (Asp) at position 57 of the HLA DQ chain (p < 0.05) were significantly increased in subjects with 64K antibodies compared with control subjects. Of 40 individuals tested in the intravenous glucose tolerance test, three had a first phase insulin response below the first percentile of normal control subjects. Two children developed Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus after 18 and 26 months, respectively. Each of these subjects was non-Asp homozygous and had persistent islet cell and 64K antibodies. We conclude that 64K antibodies, complement-fixing islet cell antibodies and insulin autoantibodies represent sensitive serological markers in assessing high risk for a progression to Type 1 diabetes in islet cell antibody positive non-diabetic individuals.
