That’s awesome. 605 is massive, congrats!

I’ve been at about 400 for a while now. I’ve mostly been focused on weight loss and have dropped about 40 lbs this year. My squat and bench have been sliding, but thankfully my deadlift has held on.

    End of an era.

    Good for Carapaz that he was able to get a nice payday before the end of his career, but I don’t see the NSN team being as good of a fit for him. I think the team is going to have to be support both him and Bini, while EF was all in on him.

    For EF, they weren’t going to pay up for a guy in his 30’s, so let’s hope either Healy/Powess can have bounce back years, or EF has some secret plan. If not, this could be a big blow to their UCI rankings.

    Maybe I’ll go out on a limb and say this specific piece of news is not indication of the AI apocalypse. There are still plenty of things to be skeptical of long term, but this itself is not an indication of an inevitable crash.

    Since I haven’t seen it yet in this conversation, I think I need to bring some better context to what this article is claiming.

    No, OpenAI did not assume they were making $70 billion. They’ve always known their existing number. In fact, that number IS what was reported to investors.

    The $70 billion number is coming from a specific investor that wanted to adjust the definition of revenue to get a more “apples to apples” comparison to Anthropic’s numbers.

    When these companies license their models to hypervisors (AWS, Azure, etc), those hypervisors take a cut. OpenAI does not report that cut as revenue. This investor wanted to add it back in to get a “total demand for AI tokens” number.

    They are 2 completely different metrics coming from 2 completely different groups.

    Form cues are just mental tricks to get you to use the correct muscles when doing a specific lift. I find it a little more mundane than you’re making it out to be because it’s the same in nearly any physical skill acquisition. Want to shoot a basketball? Learn guitar? Dance? They can all use cues to ensure you’re doing it with the form that gets you there the with the optimal path to consistency. It’s just speaking a language that allows you to connect your mind to your body.

    Everyone has different anatomy and movement patterns, and some cues “click” for some while they don’t for others.

    I’ve learned more about the photo finish technology in the last 24 hours than I have in my entire lifetime. Good on Remco though, he did most of the work while Ciccone drafted and so the win is at least deserved.

    To your comment about leadership, I tend to agree, but I think it’s worth it to point out that McNulty won worlds because he WASN’T a leader. He made his move and the chasing group didn’t tag him as important enough to chase him down until it was too late (and maybe some extra indifference from Del Toro).

    So there could be some strategic gamesmanship my intentionally not labelling someone as your leader, it takes the spotlight off of them slightly.

    What a weird sounding interview. He’s basically saying he doesn’t know how he ended up owning a team and doesn’t know what he’s doing, and that gives him the leeway to not commit to anything.

    But man, being that non-committal really shows his lack of understanding of the Seattle fan base and their history.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/52474928

    (the image isn't my basement, its a random image I found at trigearlab) I have a treadmill and a bike set up in my basement for the upcoming winter. Those long runs and rides are a special type of torture when you don't have anything to focus on for the multiple hours of activity.

    For me personally, I've started getting into virtual rides on youtube. I'll connect my computer laptop to my monitor and run the workout recording through my laptop and youtube through my larger monitor. I'm also very specific on what I enjoy. It needs to be road biking (I can't get mentally into mountain or gravel biking videos) and I prefer it to be near the Mediterranean coast. Beautiful climbs are also interesting, but I'm not as into other backdrops. I've also tried watching live sports, but that tends to impact my heart rate in ways I don't like.

    So what do you like to do to keep yourself occupied while running or biking indoors?

     

    I want to be a good steward of Lemmy and do what I can to help grow the communities I’m interested in.

    Fortunately, the bicycling community seems to have a solid base already. There are usually posts every week, and a fair number of them generate some good discussion. I’d like to help encourage more of that by posting things people here actually find useful or interesting.

    The problem is that “bicycling” covers a pretty huge range of topics. News, racing and performance, training questions, equipment, maintenance, infrastructure, commuting, photos, personal stories—the list goes on.

    So rather than guessing, I figured I’d just ask:

    Why did you join the bicycling community on Lemmy?

    When you open your feed, what kinds of bicycling posts are you actually hoping to see? What gets you to stop scrolling, read the comments, or join the conversation?

    I’m curious what people here would like to see more of.

     

    I’ve had some form of Achilles tendinitis for a couple years now. I had gotten to the point where I could do about 60 minutes of running pain free this year, but that darn pain came back out of the blue this past month.

    I’m taking my volume way down and trying to do isometric exercises to build up my tendon, but I still need to do SOME type of cardio. I was hoping to do an Olympic triathlon next year and need to continue building my base to have any chance.

    So with that being said, does anyone have any substitute exercises that can get as close to running as possible without putting too much stress on my Achilles? I’ve heard some people suggest the elliptical, but I’m curious if anyone has had success with anything else?

     

    For those of us who are forced indoors when the ice and snow come, have you had real success training primarily through zwift or other indoor training programs? What do you think was the key to your gains? Tell me your story.

    I’ve got my trainer set up in the basement and will be doing a ramp test this week. Looking to make as big an FTP improvement by Spring as possible.
