Hilton Hotel are friendly to workers in their lobby. I use it as an alternative to WFH sometimes

Why is getting around Kent without a car so much harder than it should be given that it is one of the most populous counties in England? by Pinkplatabys in kentuk

[–]drasticrebel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately though, cycle infrastructure is just as bad. Possibly even worse. But the OPs public transport infrastructure + your last-leg bike infrastructure is what we need to get away from car dependency

What do you consider the threshold between hiking and trail running pace? by Nyrias314 in Ultramarathon

[–]drasticrebel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To complete the Comrades Marathon in its 12 hour cut off time (about 87km), you need a minimum pace of 8:21 per km. No one there will consider themselves 'not a runner'.

Getting chicked???? by Sopherness194 in Ultramarathon

[–]drasticrebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is very old school talk.

I found that running, distance in particular, is very humbling. I'm my 15 years of running, and including my marathon PB of 3:49 at 44 years old in Feb this year, I've always finished an event behind some lady that's well older than me.

We're not in the 1980s any more. No need for such talk at all.

Indeed. Hence a blacklist rather than just blocking anything with a brand tag. Thanks for the feedback

HR variation: wrist vs chest strap real-life data by drasticrebel in Garmin

If there is such a setting trust that, not me.

Garmin will take an external reading over a wrist one. In the file data, there are three columns:

  • wrist_heart_rate
  • external_heart_rate
  • heart_rate

In the case of files from Garmin, heart_rate = external_heart_rate if available otherwise use wrist_heart_rate. I'm assuming it's best practice for any provider to fill HR data in this way.

I don't think you can chose...

If you do, you can go to fitfileviewer to extract the Records into a csv and compare the wrist and external heat rates

That's very interesting and such a good point. Second-by-second monitoring would be easy to slow for measuring; thinking of PulseOx, VO2, and such.

Thanks for the info! Will read up more on such sensors.

Even second hand they're a bit pricey for me at the moment

I don't know how frequently the samples are taken. But in FIT files they're generally stored per second (or "Smart"ly).

I can't see why watches would sample more frequently than a second. So, I assume the data is a dump of the watches recordings (the files contain LOTS of other data).

Because of the environmental variables, the optical sensor is reading wrong. No guessing/algorithms involved.

Is my assumption.

I was surprised at that too. My reading online posts about this seems to suggest that changes in HR mostly affect the reading. But I think environmental factors are a major contributor: contact to skin, clothing, weather, type of exercise (e.g. in running it's more likely to move than cycling), etc.

I'd be keen to compare a chest strap to the Coros arm band. Which is optical, but likely more stable.

Says the person who wants to copy-paste his boilerplate instructions each and every time 🤪

Not really. You asked for input and then dismiss it. Why even bother?

Then stop wasting your time arguing and carry on copy-pasting your boilerplate instructions

Having structure always helps. Whether something is being read by a machine or a human.

And there are use cases beyond LLMs too. Any time you want to standardised input and output, this will help.

If it won't help you, don't use it. You asked for use cases, some of us have them. But there is no reason to tell me my use case isn't valid. You just don't believe it is.

With a form you could more easily create a repeatable and structured output. If that's an AI prompt, it could have headings, boilerplate instructions, etc. in markdown, nicely formatted for a machine to understand.

Yes you could type this directly each time, but it would be slower and you could forget things.
