Reading: A survey of formal methods for determining the centre of rotation of ball joints (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…)
"Much of what you do in research does not get you closer to the answer, but enables you to understand the question better." Too true! medium.com/@vanhoucke/so-you…
Side-effect of living in a city dominated by a major corporation: 50% of the titles of papers written by researchers at Chalmers could more or less be auto-appended with " and Volvo".
Reading dguv.de/medien/ifa/en/fac/er… Somwhat contrasting ROM arguments for strength and conditioning training? Ofc one would have to adjust for volume, etc.
Here's a good one! cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/meaningle…
I wonder how much time and effort that has gone into using essentially meaningless methods for time-series clustering?

Training for the @SpaceX Dragon Crew-1 mission includes all of the normal @Space_Station training. I’m practicing for #spacewalk emergencies by utilizing the SAFER (Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue) – a small, self-contained, jet pack, piloted by a hand controller.
Interesting findings on correlation between skeletal muscles and brown adipose tissue through IRF4: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Supports benefits of training in cold conditions.

Visual Chatbot: a question-answering ML bot with an adorable combination of cluelessness & confidence. It copied human answers so never saw examples of how to express utter confusion. The result: insistent bluffing. aiweirdness.com/post/1751102…
ALT Image: Vader and Obi-Wan lightsaber duel in a spaceship hangar. Bot: Caption: a person standing in the doorway of a train station Me: Is it a very high-tech train station? Bot: Yes Me: I agree. Is the person doing anything? Bot: No Me: Not... battling for control of the galaxy? Bot: not that i can see Me: Just a normal train station. Bot: yes
ALT Image: Star Wars poster with a bunch of portraits Me: How many people are there? Bot: 2 Me: I see more like 10 people. Bot: no Me: How many giraffes are there? Bot: 2
Reading up on HRV as indicator of physical stress level: SDNN and RMSSD. Combine with motion classification trained on emotional states = mental stress level estimation? Pretty interesting for continuous work-related stress measurements.
EMG ftw! Really cool stuff! xitter.cf/ben_ferns/status/10021…
This tech from @CTRLlabsCo which can read and interpret nerve signals via ML (even when the movement is not made) has a huge amount of potential - no cameras, no trackers, and not limited to what humans can do (note the robot arm can rotate its wrist 360 degrees). Links below vvv
A ver special kind of brainfog: Publicly-funded-project-report-writing-fog... Worth it though: Love @vinnovase
Supercool discussion with Christoper Dahlén re thesis project: Motion tracking meets machine learning meets injury prevention. Several avenues to explore - Quantitative intervention dose-response effectiveness in rehab probably the most interesting.
Fascinating to know how little we know about our own neighborhood: arxiv.org/abs/1805.05355
