Physical training follows a fairly typical bell curve-ish dose/response relationship, where more training gives you less and less benefit until you reach a point where your recovery cannot catch up and you get worse. 7 min per day isn't bad because it's a very small time investment that can yield a lot of result for anybody who cannot do anything else, but that's really about it. If you are liking Mark Lauren's strategy you should stick with it. You could probably do both ML's program and this one to be honest.

The 2018 guidelines of activity for physical activity for general health [1] are the following:

* 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, OR;

* 75 to 150 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, AND;

* Resistance training of moderate or greater intensity involving all major muscle groups on 2 or more days per week.

As I recall, in this customer's use case, they wanted to deliver the data as email attachments that the recipient could download (recipients were regular people). I think they were selling ringtones or MP3s or something of that nature and the email was the method of delivery. It was a pretty cool concept.

I remember reading that post. Particular interesting for a chinese reader since the high impact visual style largely comes from the japanese kanji which strikes much more weighted than say someone who don't read chinese/japanese (it might be a subjective feeling) can perceive.

Interestingly the japanese kanji fonts have a very tiny slight difference than the fonts we use. It's not exactly the calligraphy. They definitely do visual style right and impressive.

No. We know people want this. Many existing customers joined the wait list to try it, and a few employees are using a ludicrously inadequate alpha version.

Apparently these days when repairing smartphones it's not uncommon to find them gunked up with class As.
True. Also this information, if true, could help locate the vulnerable code. I'm not sure if it would be worth it however, it depends on how many outdated tails are in the wild and the exploit complexity.

I agree with you that Zig comptime seems really nice.

As for the format string at comptime, it's a big improvement over C sure (no missing parameter, yes!) but I still feel that it's still much less readable than Python f-strings.
Current favorite is PDF Expert on an iPad. I read in landscape mode, with 2 pages side-by-side, and hide most of the interface. You can then tap on the right side of the screen to switch to the next page. That makes it pretty close to reading a print book. And you can still highlight text to review later, like any other eBook.
A plan to turn the atmosphere into an enormous sensor
This is really great - thanks so much for posting! I've been hunting for a similar curve for Teslas for a while.

Can I ask:

* Which car models are included?

* You write that your methodology for this chart looks at average speed for the whole trip; if this is true, would it be feasible to apply a different methodology and divide your data up into much smaller chunks (e.g. 30 seconds) and calculate the MPGe for each chunk?

* Is there any way I could calculate a similar graph for my own car? Can I get a graph like this from your app? (I'd personally be super-interested in both being able to access my own car's curve, and also explore a 'dashboard' of the whole dataset with filters by (e.g.) model, wheel size, etc.

This is amazing. Pretty much what I've done with Step Functions and deployed using Pulumi - rolled into one, with a graphical UI.

I really wish one of the existing db technologies, Firebird, got a shot in the arm. It has both embedded and server modes which makes it unique as far as I know. Also the database is a single file which with firebirds "careful write" methodology remains consistent at all times so while you can make a backup at any time because it has MVCC, even a file copy of the database file with open transactions should not be corrupted. The installer size comes in under 10 MB. It's being actively improved, is open source with a very liberal licence but sadly it only gets a tiny fraction of the attention that SQLite, postgres etc receive
Been there so many times.

I've been kicked off a project because I couldn't stop talking about training data (they already had) and machine learning algorithms (NLP, text classification) that we could implement right now to start automating a couple of internal processes that are currently pointlessly manual. Think moving incoming e-mail to appropriate downstream support channels.

Not enough magical AI / AGI in there.

The countless PowerPoint presentations built after my departure described processes along the lines of "the AI will detect when you're about to miss your connecting flight and book you into your favourite hotel with your favourite dinner pre-ordered".

Surprisingly, the project survived and now they collect training data and use machine learning for text classification.
Problem with generators and this scheme, they allow regeneration. Most people not using the first version, they generate a new until they like it enough to stop, which is not that random anymore as they think.

Easy with 20/20 hindsight, but back then Apple didn't know it would be a few months. Should Intel have had unforeseen trouble with the Core 2 and decided to delay the release they would not be releasing any hardware.
Also, availability of enough processors and ease of porting existing 32-bits x86 Windows software could have been factors.

Furthermore: Just because some countries have absurd health-scare systems, doesn't mean it has to be so. That is one single aspect, many other countries with 'markets' have implented in better, less scary ways.

Also: Instead of electing smooth talkers, horror clowns and other sociopaths one could opt for a mandatory lottery akin to jury duty/lay assessors/judges, thereby denying them planned paths to power, and simply less wasted energy because lack of campaining. IMO it couldn't be worse than it is now.

Anyways, this is all way above the realities of real life(TM), human nature, and the disruption/distributed denial of service by advertisment, disinfo and outright fraud our minds are.

I found the docker images, but it doesn't explain anywhere how to deploy them:

* installation instructions for each of the images

* mountable persistent path/volume for transport and backup

* what ports do I export?

* how do the images interact? Do I need one of them or 3?

* do I need to write any config file and mount it in docker before starting?

* what features flags are available to use with environment variables?

What is `fastocloud_load_balance`? Do I need it for basic deployment with 2 cameras?

Look at installation instructions of these two https://hub.docker.com/_/traefik https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres
Yep. Still learning them...

I had a similar cognitive dissonance when doing "R&D Grant applications" a long time back. I kept on thinking "Research" was the sort of rigorous academic work you do to earn a PhD. In the government/business world, it seems pretty much spending time or money to learn how to do anything not 100% required for your business previously counts. Including things like "selling our widgets, only via the internet" being valid and acceptable thing to get government rebates for "R&D". I still feel dirty everytime I draft one of those grant applications... :shrug:
> Is this unusual - absolutely

Often these claims are made while saying that it's a normal requirement and that everyone has the same requirement, thus nobody will buy it.

Cost is an important factor. I think a lot of people already would like to buy one, if they're way cheaper (also way cheaper than £25k). I've seen articles about new battery tech which focusses on cost quite a bit. So hopefully the cost of a new electric car will continue to go down.

There's also a "law" somewhere which states that with every significant doubling of industry the cost will go down. It has to do with gaining more experience, not the usual "economies of scale".

This is pretty common in government. We have way too much duplication between projects so somebody gets the bright idea to replace all the standards with one standard but it doesn't get traction and basically doesn't get used.
After reading one[1] of the studies(the FDA release says there are multiple studies but provides no links) that supposedly supports the claim that this game could be beneficial, my opinion is that this is entirely bogus.

The issue is that the only metric that this game improved was performance on a TOVA assessment[2]. TOVA is itself essentially just an absurdly boring video game: You press a button when the correct target appears, and don't press when incorrect targets appear. I have personal objections to idea that TOVA can really be a reliable indicator of ADHD, but it is approved as one.

The "therapeutic" video game is described in the study as game where half of the gameplay is "a perceptual discrimination targeting task in which users respond to the instructed stimulus targets and ignore the stimulus distractors". Meaning this game is almost literally just the TOVA test but with better graphics. The control game appears to have been a word game along the lines of scrabble. Unsurprisingly, kids who played the first game had more improvement on the TOVA test.

They just developed a game that taught to the test. Of course the results improved.

Totally different, isn't it?

Presumably the Vauxhall mentioned would provide exactly the measured MPG when driven at the correct speed by any owner in the real world - hence the 'flat spot' noticed.

The defeat concept you're referring to (presumably VW's) was set to only function during a test, and not in the real world (AIUI).

> Still wondering why they haven't announced a new, cheaper EV yet.

They seem to be selling their current low-end cars as fast as they can make them, why should they attempt to divert their efforts to a new lower-margin car? They can leave the cheap EV announcements to other manufacturers like VW for people who want to buy an EV some time later...

Fintech Startup Synapse Lays Off Nearly 50% of Full-Time Staff
Seems like the lede is buried -- what is the video player exploit? Is there really a way to modify video files such that playing them locally can broadcast an IP address?

Think this is less about Tails and more about this "video-tagging" tech.
And paid six figures for outside help. The FBI's approach "was not tailored for Tails" - surely if they had any approach that would work they would use it.

If the government couldn't break in to Tails and required the outside help of two well-resourced organisations to find (and burn) a single exploit then overall that seems a pretty good endorsement of the security of a volunteer open-source project.

You should test that shielding though, and AFAIK the dangerous voltage enters equipment through cables. Unless everything is fiber optics you would need some chonky optocouplers on all signal paths.

Don’t single Tesla out on this. No car manages to get its official mpg/EPA rating in real-world driving conditions. Some get closer than others and some manufacturers (eg Fiat) designed their motors in a way that maximises their performance on standardised tests. The gap between how ‘hard’ the car has to work to achieve the real world driving conditions vs test conditions plays a big part in the differential. Smaller motors with forced inductions are the worst offenders. Larger motors are more honest citizens.

As you can see, I am here under my real identity. I would not intentionally do what you are accusing me of here; and even having read your guidelines for several times now, and although I have also studied law and am used to reading and understanding regulations, I would not have come to the conclusion that my actions violate them; it's certainly not "obvious". At least now I understand how you interpret your guidelines in the present case.
I've been an indie-hacker for a decade and personally the biggest win by a country mile is Heroku (platform as a service).

Lots of maintenance guys are also exposed to boolean logic through pneumatics. Expectations are not super high but surely some students discover a fondness for logic this way.

Edit: Reminds me, Festo makes some really unexpected and creative stuff but ostensibly they produce pneumatics. I would really like to know what kind of culture is behind this creative bent of theirs and if it is related to logic.
Polyphasic sleep takes napping to the extreme
The question is whether flat or hill makes a difference. Surely friction and aerodynamic would be the same?

Also: friction of tyres don't make you consume energy, it's what makes the car move actually (with no tire friction you won't move at all).

The friction that makes you consume energy is within the wheels, gears, etc that are supposed to slide, also the deformation of tires makes you consume energy (which is why consumption is higher with under-inflated tires).
Well, if all of the involved are aware what's going on it is of course a more direct way of paying back than ads...
I used to work at a software house which makes software for few big companies. A few years ago our CEO thought it's time to diversify our income stream by creating some SaaS. He came up with a really then-buzzword-packed(AI, ML, IoT, microservices, Kubernetes, mobile first) product.
Quite ambitious, especially for a team of 5 people, regular web devs who had no working experience with any of those. Everyone voiced their concerns but we were told to just use our best efforts.

Long story short: after a year or so, our boss decided to scrap our half-baked system and gave up on the idea of creating some internal product entirely.

A small team in a company I worked for got into machine learning a few years back. They had some success with some toy examples and were now looking for applications. They tried to use it for optimizing some specific engineering procesess.

Two people (one was me) were warning them that this is a waste of time and will cost the company a fortune and then no one will want it because the quality will be so much poorer. And the whole thing looked like an instance of hammer-looking-for-a-nail.

Fast forward a few years, the team tripled in size, built a multi-million-euro product, and some very large customers now trust their operations research to that new thing.

Actually - Google seemed to get this wrong the first time I searched I'm in Scotland and there appears to be five superchargers and there are indeed other chargers. I'd say maybe half the time I go anywhere I drive through Perth - so that's not too bad.

Still, I'm not going to pay way more money for a car that makes my days in the hills even longer! The cost aspect is by far the main reason I haven't bought an EV.
