I think as others are suggesting, you need to know more about both the algorithms and the implementations of those algorithms, especially for GPU choice.

– not all ML is deep learning
– ML algorithms other than deep learning can run faster on GPU
– not all ML algorithms run faster on GPU
– does your implementation environment (you mentioned R) support GPU accelerated implementations and if so for which algorithms? Do you want to use those?
– other environments can help. We use h2o via R for a lot of our ML. GPU support for sure, and supports distributed data structures and algorithms. So can work in-memory on large data sets when that memory is spread across a cluster of machines.

Northwind, that’s how I remember it, expunged, and I was living in the Bay Area at the time. But, can’t find anything definitive on google to back up my memory.

Mad Bill,

For the automation piece I can high recommend the CI/CD tools that GitLab have built. In fact, GitLab is a great project.

We use an In house hosted version, their basic, which is free. I use their cloud hosted version for personal stuff. Also free. Their biz model is to allow free access for small teams/companies and add pay for features relevant for bigger codebases. We love it. Also, issue tracking, wiki, and the like for each project

I’d say it more depends on your release and deployment process. Is that tied to one approach?

From an purely logical, organisational point of view, I’d use separate repos. And, I’d make sure the release and deployment automation is driven from separate repos.

That said, the mono repo approach is used by some of the massive companie. I believe Facebook and google have one big repo. I read an article a while back outlying the pros and cons but it didn’t speak to me and our team. They had to write a lot of tooling themselves to make it work.

I use Trello for this. From every level of my personal day to day tasks to yearly plan for my group. Works really well.

Mate of mine owns this place

http://www.la-grande-bergerie.com

Near (ish) Ventoux. He’s a big rider, place is well set up for riders visiting.

GitLab for more or less everything these days – source control, issues, CI, project docs via wiki and pages. We have on premise but I use hosted version for personal stuff.

For things that aren’t tied to one project, higher level tasks/planning we use Trello.

Thanks all.

I have some freerider elements – about done though – and I prefer the riding platform of the old impacts. But of course the wet behaviour of the elements is better. Was wondering if the new sam hill’s will give me both.

Don’t really suffer from warmth issues. I’d just like the shoes to be more or less dry the morning after and not too heavy after getting a soaking.

Conflicting opinions above, but from what Leon says I might give them a go.

cheers

if you really want to look into this in depth then I’d recommend this:

I’ve found this useful

This seems like a good deal at the moment:

I have these from a few years ago and very happy

One thing not mentioned that I’ve had to point out to beginners I’ve taken out. Don’t lock your arms and use elbows as suspension. Legs also but tends to be arms that people seem to lock out naturally.

Rated at 30+ – damn I’m breaking the rules also.

I love the maxis DHF up front. Tried other over the years but keep coming back to this. I’m.a big guy, and ride somewhat aggressive. I’ve rolled tyres at low 20s but now run about 26 or so on the front. The Stans suggestions say I should be way above this for my weight (about 16 stone), so in my book lower than recommended is ideal.

SF and one weekend away. I’d go for Downeville. Shuttles and bike hire in town. Should still be snow free then, but anywhere high has potential for early season snow in Oct.

Was at their first UK gig at the Riverside in Newcastle in 1989. Great gig, but I vaguely remember preferring Tad. Good job I’m not an A+R man.

I’m 5.11 and ride a medium Tracer 275, not the brand new model but the previous. Fits me well, but it’s not super long, so not sure how it’d mesh with your longer reach.

Fugazi, Waiting Room.

Ok, EP, but close enough to an album for me

Time to ride? Bootleg Canyon for the day (uplifts on a weekend) and you can go see the Hoover Damn at the same time.

Red Rock area is good hiking.

Forget Tahoe and downeville. They will be snowed in still

I’d look at Santa Cruz area, trails around the university and forests inland. Lots of stuff on the web about these trails. I never liked wilder ranch particularly.

If your going from SF then Skeggs is a good one. I always preferred that to Marin.

thanks all. Some good suggestions there.

Not sure (yet) about the zwift racing or serious training. I’m mainly MTB, old (just turned 50), too fat, don’t race anymore. Mainly just want some way of staying active and maintain (actually increase) bike fitness. My current fitness is way off race level, so not sure I’m a good fit for power zone stuff at the moment.

It’s fun. I used to live in SF and we’d do the trip once or twice a year.

The village is a good place to stay. It’s near where the van picks you up so no need to drive, they do stay and ride deals, and there are shops and bars. Maybe not the cheapest option but handy.

XC or DH? The place has a history of DH and there are still a good selection of DH trails. But the trail riding is great also. Long runs, dusty, and somewhat rocky. True XC, with climbing, is certainly possible but the altitude will kill you. The base of the mountain, where the chair lifts are, is at 9000 ft.

I was a little disappointed in their customer service recently. I had a trip booked, couple of days at BPW and a couple at FoD. I broke my wrist about 3 weeks before, so I emailed both telling them this and asking for a rain check on the bookings.

FoD; yep, not a problem, just let us know when you’re healthy
BPW: we can give you a refund, but its a 10 quid restocking fee for each day on the 32 quid uplift fee.

Certainly put a bad taste in my mouth and I’m questioning even going again.

I’ve got a head cold. Means I can’t smell the rather stinky cast on my wrist that a broke about 5 weeks ago in a crash at the FoD.

We’ve recently started using YouTrack

https://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack

And, in general, I prefer it to JIRA. Less clicks to do stuff basically. I never used any of the configurable features of JIRA, or advanced workflows. Don’t in YouTrack either.

We’re self hosting, not tried the hosted version

The HR2 (on the front at least) seems to be a personal preference thing. Some love them, others don’t. I personally couldn’t get on with them. Much prefer a DHF on the front.

I do run a HR2 on the back cos that’s what I had in the shed.

I found over the years that two things made me get faster the quickest on tech stuff.

1. Racing DH. I was never any good, never in chance of a podium, but the race environment forced me to push my boundaries way more than I would just out riding. I’d go faster than normal and try and ride stuff I’d be normally off and walking on. And watching and riding with other shows you what is possible.

2. Uplifts. The ability to ride all day long over technical trails without getting knackered by riding or pushing also helped massively. And the fact that uplifts tend to be over more technical trails.

Fencing; with the epee it is first to hit, no right of way rules. It’s generally considered the closest relation to old dueling weapons.

Bunch of DH World Cup wins from both sexes.

Why would he?

Guess I just assumed the track cycling world at that level was small enough they’d all know each other personally.

This is the quote from the winner, who had the most to loose from the crash.

“It’s not his fault. The Korean guy was halfway on his wheel to the right, whereas normally you stay on the wheel. Cav was in front and changed direction. For sure it was a bad moment in the race but it’s a normal crash on the track.”

I know nothing about track cycling rules and etiquette so I’ll take his word as the truth.

(‘Korean guy’ though – he didn’t know his name?)

Suspension?

I watched a full replay on the BBC news site. Was embedded in one of the reports. It was more or less full thing, maybe missing the start, I don’t remember exactly.

Found it again. Third video down here. The start is missed but most of it shown.

Last Exit to Brooklyn.

I’d read the book. I knew the story, it still left me depressed for days. Powerful, if not fun, movie.

Yeah, and even Gwin had that season or two people put down to the new bike/team.

Last year he seemed to have gotten over the injury. Top 5s and even a win, pretty damn good coming back from destroying your foot/ankle. And first race this year he seemed to have, in the short clips we saw, that smoothness and speed thing the top guys all seem to have when on it. I could see it being a vicious circle, loss of confidence, putting too much pressure on himself thing. Massive head game at those levels for sure.

I’d agree about it being hard to win but this seems more. He’s been consistent top 10 or better for a few years now but this year, apart from race one, he’s finding it hard to break top 20. He’ll be out of the protected list soon if results carry on that way. Lingering injury or illness sounds possible.

What happened in his qualifying?

So what’s happened to Ratboy this year? He started well enough, 5th in first race, but has been way back ever since? Haven’t really seen anything mentioned or discussed.

How bad are they rubbing ? Do they slow the wheel down when spinning it by hand?

If not, just ignore it and ride. Disk will warp slightly when ridng and rubbing will change slightly anyway.

Ridemonkey ?

Could be a little west coast biased.

Neil, this is Jonny from the other group. Heal up quick whatever ends up happening. Great to have a few beers with you. J.

Have you tried Brilliant Bikes? They were very helpful getting me a mech hanger for my Intense.
