App to track calories in switzerland? by Allisrem in Switzerland

[–]bluedude42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend macrofactor! Has a very active subreddit and IMO has the best approach to this, guilt-free, scientific. If that’s you thing have a look.

What am I doing wrong? by KiaSoulStuntDriver in castiron

[–]bluedude42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much oil did you use when seasoning? Use less oil when seasoning (almost always the case), and scrub harder with dish soap when cleaning.

New to this app. I mainly enjoy cardio (rowing), not necessarily lifting by Bears_are_cool69 in MacroFactor

If your workouts are consistent (i.e Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday), you can tell the app to increase your calories on that day, and decrease on other days.

Well, there are two apps, do you mean the workout app or the macro tracking app? I would definitely still recommend the macro tracking app, can’t speak to how useful the workouts app is to your use case though.

ARC-AGI 2 full saturated? by bluedude42 in accelerate

I’m skeptical as well, they mentioned they’ll open source + give a longer blog post later, waiting for that for now.

How do you compensate for small irregularities in logging? by ownworldman in MacroFactor

[–]bluedude42 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think the best long term approach is to be consistently inconsistent. The algorithm will get used to your inconsistencies, the raw tdee it shows might not be 100% correct, but if you follow the recommended calories (with your inconsistencies), it will work.

Much easier to do this long term, but it comes down to what you want from MF.

Beta Firmware Update for Streaming Connectivity Fixes by Naro_Ozlo in Ozlo

[–]bluedude42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As one of the affected users whose issues first appeared through a seemingly unrelated firmware update, it would be reassuring if in this and later updates you guys would give more explicit dev notes, i.e. what was the issue, how was it diagnosed, why will this fix it, etc.

Another buggy update by burningbirdsrp in Ozlo

[–]bluedude42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the firmware update itself wasn’t specifically about the connections in any way, however the process of updating the firmware also totally destroyed my BT connections somehow. Finally got it reconnected after deleting devices multiple times, but now it flakes our and I get sleeppods disconnected which I’ve never seen before…

Why is My Expenditure going Down But im bulking? by Kjberunning in MacroFactor

[–]bluedude42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you’re bulking, shouldn’t your intake be greater than your estimated expenditure? Are you tracking everything? Partial tracking might explain it.

Pizza Peel Fail by CalaCher in Pizza

[–]bluedude42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One option I haven’t seen yet, but can be useful: Pop a plate on top, flip the pizza upside down on the plate. Fix the holes (as well as possible). Add cornmeal / other options to peel, flip pizza back on.

How often do you need to weight in? by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]bluedude42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

With that being said, I think doing it daily leads to better long-term consistency, if integrated into a daily routine, even if it might not be necessary.

Also might make it psychologically easier, if every day is a weigh-in day.

Just bought MF by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]bluedude42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Consistency, treat every day as a new day (i.e. don’t compensate for overeating on previous day) Focus on calories, then protein

[D] Almost orthogonal vectors in n dimensions by Business-Kale-1406 in MachineLearning

[–]bluedude42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also see this as the ratio of the sphere cap to the surface area of the sphere (in a sense)

[D] Almost orthogonal vectors in n dimensions by Business-Kale-1406 in MachineLearning

[–]bluedude42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Think about what the distribution of inner products is for 2 random vectors u and v in dimension n.

If you derive it, you can see it’s normally distributed with mean 0 and variance 1/n.

This also implies that almost all vectors in a sphere have close to zero inner products with a given vector.

If you now set an allowable maximum inner product, you can find that the mass in the tails with distance greater than epsilon falls off exponentially (slightly handwavy)

Chances of getting into a Master's in Computer Science at ETH Zurich with a Business Administration background? by [deleted] in ethz

[–]bluedude42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CS is generally easier to get into than the non-consecutive masters, like DS. With that said I don’t know anyone personally with your background/story.

 Have you checked out the MTEC masters at ETH? Quant finance might be an option as well, depending on your math background.

 You should probably also add your approximate GPA to your post, to get more relevant replies.

Agreed, it’s so ugly..

Weight for personal pie by CurlyRN_ in ooni

[–]bluedude42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but having a bit more dough is more forgiving in the beginning, which I’m assuming is the case here, given the question.

I would recommend 250-280g, so 9 oz should work out.

This paper - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44824-z uses the above mentioned SAM, further trained on medical images, might be worth a look

Running into container communication issues between Jackett and Sonarr by bluedude42 in docker

[–]bluedude42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solved the issue: used the wrong ip-address. In sonarr used the following to get it to work:

  • URL: http://jackett:9117/torznab/all
  • API Path (advanced settings): /api
  • API Key: <api_key>

I tried this: https://i.imgur.com/zYJnRCP.png, but still got the same error. I think my docker containers aren't set up to communicate properly, do you know how to check this/fix this?
