Readit NewsCounterpart was great but structure made it hard for to watch knowing it'd been cancelled.
Scavengers Reign was great; I couldn't get into Common Side Effects.
Evil is exactly the Catholic X-Files, which is an amazing concept, but by the end of the 2nd season it is all the way off the rails and hurtling into a canyon.
Given your list, you might dig Lodge 49, which is somewhere in the intersection of HACF, Evil, The Big Lebowski.
So many quotable moments. Vantasner Danger Meridian. Structural Dynamics of Flow. The attaché badge.
So many phenomenal scenes. I’m not surprised it didn’t get more traction with the general public but it was unafraid to take some serious and weird risks. But they pay off in spades for me!
(Because the other side of the argument has thousands of measurable, verifiable scientific studies)
Apple does a lot of things I don't agree with in the interest of share price (like cozying up to authoritarian governments) but this seems like a reach to criticize them for a feature they have put extensive effort into, rather than applauding that they resist spying and enhance customer privacy. Sure, it's an optional feature and maybe they don't push broad acceptance of it, but it's important for those that need it.
Edit: IMO Apple is under-investing in Siri for that role.
Paraphrased: if you do things with the explicit goal to optimize revenue, it harms your business success. If you do things that optimize user experience and delight customers, it will provide more value long-term.
Voice assistants are in that latter camp, I believe. (And I think of this quote constantly as Tim Cook crams more ads into the ecosystem)
If anyone is curious, 6561 (3^8) is the highest pure Sierpinski available in the animation since it caps at 10K.
I don't buy it, no brand can be accurate on energy expenditure because it depends on a lot more things than what the watch can monitor.
Even in lab they have to put big mask on people while exercising to get something somewhat accurate.
On watch, calorie counter is a function of time and heart rate. Yet most watch brand can't even get heart rate right beside apple and Huawei.
Tried all the brand, went back to using a 10€ Casio and put a H10 monitor when doing sport.
To be fair, the comment you excerpted noted that the best performer was still just 71% accurate. So they’re saying they’re far from perfect.
>On watch, calorie counter is a function of time and heart rate.
Well, we just don’t know. But let’s take Apple as an example. Apple knows your workout type. And they know your weight if you’ve entered it. And lots of other sensors as well (O2, if possible, temp, accelerometers, etc).
They’ve put a crazy amount of money into their testing lab where they do have extensive metabolic rate testers, VO2 Max, etc.
Will they get as good as that equipment for a dinky watch? No. But I also am glad I don’t have to strap a face mask on during my daily bike rides.
Can they, with insane volumes of data and hard research, make pretty good directional inferences using models that match their watch sensors to gold standard tests? It seems the answer to this (both logically and in the research data) is yes.
This video is a decade old so they’ve only become more advanced and have more data since then, but there are lots of models you can build to power these estimates: https://youtu.be/BceaTNT14Ao
I’m glad you’re happy with your Casio. Keep rocking what works for you. But I’m not sure what’s so hard to believe here when other researchers have actually produced the data on their accuracy.
