My grandmother and her cat build a dictation app. There are so many out there and I really don't get it why anyone would still pay for Wispr Flow

I did one (it's free) and recent update brought it very close to Wispr on local models only: https://dictator.work

Re:Fasting diet 'regenerates diabetic pancreas' on Friday February 24, 2017 @07:29AM (#13722975)
I don't understand why it's potentially so dangerous to try it out on your own. Fasting is kinda natural. Assuming you go back to the roots and live in the forest. You are not going to eat every day... so why is it suddenly so dangerous? Some explanation on the risks would have been helpful.

It's not up to the masses. There is so much going on in the world, that it became impossible to deal with everything and have an opinion on everything. So it's actually up to a as large and diverse group as possible, to oppose movements like this. Which ultimately results in just a few making decisions for the masses. You can try to solve this problem before or just demand that the once/few in charge right now do the right thing. But it's not up to the masses and it has never been.
Re:Doom on the MacBook Pro Touch Bar [video] on Monday November 21, 2016 @03:27PM (#13008875)
Slightly off topic but it happened so often in the past, that apple products would be ridiculed on launch. Now the same people who complained how Apple is not making computers for them anymore are thinking of "cool" ways to hack the touch bar.

i actually don't think the Go version is bad. I can very clearly see what is happening and I can also do something with the error

It might have been due to "Copyright and Trademark Infringement". The article used some pictures that author clearly found on google images

I think you are "over quota"
Re:Machine Learning and Ketosis on Saturday August 13, 2016 @08:53AM (#12281273)
I guess you can also look at ketosis as a state. Maybe paleo diet even gets you from time to time into ketosis without really intending to do so.

What I also wanted to say is that you can find sources for carbs in the paleo diet... especially if you do sports (and you did it actually as you mentioned)

Re:The hunger mood on Saturday August 13, 2016 @08:41AM (#12281236)
That is one reason for sure, but there are also cultural reasons. e.g. romanian culture basically encourages overeating.

I don't understand what exactly he did with the data and how the calculations indicate weight loss/gain.

Can someone explain, please?

Re:Machine Learning and Ketosis on Saturday August 13, 2016 @08:20AM (#12281177)
I kinda have to agree. But I also have to add, that it's actually the combination of fat and carbs.

As a vegan you are probably eating almost no fat and this is most likely the reason you lost weight. If you would start eating higher amounts of vegetable fats... maybe even some sugar (pure carbs) you will gain weight.

Re:Machine Learning and Ketosis on Saturday August 13, 2016 @08:11AM (#12281158)
One thing. Paleo has nothing to do with Ketosis. While meat and vegetables are encouraged and are the basis of the paleo food pyramid, carbs like from sweet potatos, honey, vegetables with higher amount of carbs and nuts are considered paleo.

You can argue about what is paleo and what not, but carbs are considered totaly fine as long as they come from a good source.

So if you did paleo and ended up in ketosis you probably did something wrong in regards to the paleo idea.

Re:Apple R&D Reveals a Pivot Is Coming on Thursday May 12, 2016 @11:37AM (#11684170)
I have to ask: Why cars? Why are Google, Tesla and now Apple supposedly investing in cars?

From the European point of view cars seem to be a dead end. More and more people live in an urban area and more and more young people use public transportation way more often, than cars. Additionally carsharing makes owning a car in a german city kinda obsolete.

So... why cars?

This is really an awesome app. Keep up the good work. It still feels a bit clunky, but it has a lot of potential. Already using it :)

He is not trying to make money. He just tries to cover his costs. That's way more realistic and I think it might work out.

This is really awesome! I love it.
Re:The War ISIS Wants on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @10:12AM (#10581487)
I believe it is relevant. The West is sticking it's nose into many places around this world. But the response is not always the killing of civilians. Take South America for example. Their answer is much smarter, because their approach is different. I think the middle east approach is tainted by some parts of the islamic ideology.

This is not to say, that I agree with what the west is doing. I think "what goes around, comes around" applies here very well...

Re:The War ISIS Wants on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @09:05AM (#10581063)
Radical Islam is not solely a response to western influence. It sure is also that, but it is also due to the ideology of the islam itself and the failure to modernise it.

First of all not everyone is suited for remote work. Remote work often means working from home (co-working space maybe) which makes it rather difficult to engage in social activities. While co-working spaces might make it easier it's still more difficult. Also not everyone has the self-discipline and while you might argue that people also go to the office and browse HN all day others feel more motivated working in an office. Additionally the communication is way different. Emotions get lost in Chats and Skype calls. Last also due to bad audio quality.

Yes remote work can be good and advantageous for some, but it can also be bad.

second that. please fix
Any hints on where I would be able to find more in the Agriculture category?
