- The core issue of CICO as you pointed out is that it's a truism that ignores key aspects of a diet that usually come with a restriction in caloric intake - hunger can lead to poor food choices (decrease in TEF) and leads to lethargy (decrease in NEAT) which can account for up to 500 kcal/day (don't quote me on this, just trying to remember the papers I had read a long time ago) and completely negate the dieting effort. That's not even accounting the approximations of CI.
- A few things that come to mind from having worked in many coffees in a few countries where those were implemented would be to institute an off-peak/peak time policy where people are asked not to work during peak time (e.g. lunch), have some sort of subscription model which comes with a faster wifi and X drinks a month.
- It reminds me of the old Eureqa software [1], which I used almost 10 years ago in some research work. It got bought out by a company and kind of shut down, so it's nice to see alternatives. Since then some good packages like gplearn have emerged [2], what are you offering that it cannot do?
As a side note if I were you I would be a lot more selective about what you put in your blog, because your post on the inadequacy of neural networks is a bit embarrassing, and paints a pretty bad picture of your own tool.
- This looks nice, and I might give it a try to transcribe the live Q&A sessions I am doing for the course I teach. My question is how well does it handle accents? My slight French accent often trips the Cortana-powered transcription that is integrated in PowerPoint, but I assume your models are a bit more complex than those.
- I have a couple of Google Home Minis but I never paid for them, one was gifted by Spotify and one by Google when they were getting rid of their stock of the old model. I usually use them to control the lights and Spotify/Netflix when I am too lazy to get off the couch in the middle of an episode. They are also getting less and less useful because the voice recognition is getting steadily worse (false negative and false positive recognition of wake-up sentence has easily doubled since I got them). I could easily live without them but I still think the technology is cool. When they stop working I will probably look for a full-blown local alternative that doesn't rely on the Internet.
