I'm not trying to say that other apps don't also provide great advice (especially RP, I love watching Dr Mike and have learned a ton from him), but I think that a lot of the flexibility in the programs in these apps are primarily

I don't intend to monetize, I only want to compete for data. I think it's an interesting field and I'd like to be able to contribute back to the science by using the data gathered. I think these workout apps try to be opinion

yeah, point taken, I do need to rewrite the user-facing documentation to be more accessible (and less obviously LLM-assisted, heh - although I did review and edit all of it). Workout design (including teaching a user how to do an exercise

This is really awesome! I used to have an movement to tissue mapping in an earlier version of app but I opted to focus more on the weight-reps curve it because the tissue volume calculations added too much complexity to the interface, and i

yeah, it's a difficult balance to explain why this app doesn't work like every other weightlifting app and not inundate people with too much information. It actually is pretty simple once you start using it. I'll look at the

I love these! I recently designed a few decks of playing cards of mathematicians for my dad as a gift, my favorite part was designing the backs: a zeta function for the pure-maths deck, a Moore curve for the computation one, and two interfe

seems pretty short-sighted - "our models are so good that even our competitors use them for the most advanced tasks" is pretty powerful marketing

yeah, I have been amazed at what I could do for free, and then amazed at how much more powerful it got for 5 bucks a months. Cloudflare is killing it in terms of value for small websites (and features and reliability).

I haven't tried asking it in Hangul but these particular artists (and the photos I'm using actually) are linked to their romanized english names on e.g. Fandom so it's not unfindable on the internet

3.7 flash was by far the best model for image recognition tasks according to my benchmarks. 3.8 flash didn't regress any candidates and improved some specificity (positive ID of common name vs species name of exotic fruit, correct iden

My benchmark is tiny compared to WorldVQA or FG-BMK, which are available, so I'd point you in that direction if you're interested in a VLM benchmark. My use-case isn't exactly captioning as in "what is in this image?&quo

the only thing that still kind of annoys me is constantly being told what something is not, but even that statement is load-bearing (see what I did there) because it records how it ended up with this decision, because it's not that oth

I don't know that much about math but I've read that one possibility is he had found a valid proof for n=4 and assumed that it generalized. Hopefully someone else who knows more about the subject chimes in!

There’s no particular reason it’s not OSS, but my main interest is collecting a lot of data on different athletes and publishing original research. Most weightlifting studies are small n and over a short amount of time. My particular intere

> high reps are better for hypertrophy work Some nuance here: the latest research shows that proximity to failure is the main hypertrophy driver regardless of load and rep count; high rep count makes proximity to failure harder to gauge;

I wrote this app as a SPA! It uses a curve formulation similar to Brzycki, except I added a “shape” parameter (an exponent gamma between 0 and 1) that slopes the 1rm downwards at the right side. My main finding for “pick whatever weight you

not everyone who can think and solve interesting problems can write prose well, but there's still a lot of complaining about AI-generated text.

Don't pay too much attention to the naysayers if they don't have constructive advice to offer (but do try to collect what signal you can from the noise). There are a lot of people who viscerally hate AI for a ton of different reas

It’s definitely got AI tells, and I understand the objection - it’s hard to tell the difference between slop (written without review or direction, meant to fill space or present a simulacra of information) and actual informational content.

It’s time for people who understand how to use AI to stop trying to convince people who don’t. Let them churn their own butter, weave their own clothes, and type out their programs one character at a time. It’s what they want.
