Comments Off on Pessimism regarding upcoming artificially intelligent personal trainers (part 2)

Classification is done by people. Not AI. Back to our leg pressing study- “For the current study, the use of supervised learning methods, mapping input objects to desired output values, appeared to be a suitable modeling technique, considering the inclusion of the measured time series and the experts’ evaluations of the executions.

How might an app help some healthcare metrics?

February 27, 2017

Wired ran an issue about biggest tech trends for 2017. One of the articles, of course, revolved around smartphones / apps / wearables / sensors. Something about our ability to make healthcare more “quantified.” A fancy way of saying we’ll have increased ability to track various health metrics, and that’ll lead to better health.

Comments Off on Eating less vs building electric cars

Hey, that’s great. But it got me thinking… In decreasing airline ticket prices through having less overweight people, it was shown we could save 1.32 billion gallons of gas if we (granted, waved a magic wand) had no overweight people / no overweight people flying.

I recently read an article about how the amount of unruly incidents on planes has gone up 17% in the last year.

Comments Off on A brief look at the relationship between energy usage and obesity

Using the CDC, we can see the obesity rate for each state in 2014. Using the U.S. Energy Information Administration we can see how much energy each state used for 2013. Using 2010 census data we can see the population of each state. If we divide the energy use per state by the amount of people per state, […]

What the The New York Times misses about The Biggest Loser weight regain

May 16, 2016

The New York Times published the following article: –After ‘The Biggest Loser,’ Their Bodies Fought to Regain Weight For anyone obese, reading this led one either to Ben and Jerry’s or the bar. It is a depressing read. Words like “frightening,” “stunning,” “radically,” “shocked” seem to appear every paragraph. The thesis of the article is research has […]
