Forecasting: Are ML Models ‘Winning’ Because of Less Preprocessing Needs?

In the world of forecasting there is a bit of mystery. Many expert forecasters continue to use statistical models despite the strong push of machine learning (ML) and deep learning neural network (NN) models. Those less familiar with the world of forecasting assume, because of the dominance of ML/NN models in computer vision and language […]

Autonomous Island Defense (AID) Algorithm Introduction

Background: as advanced algorithms become more common and useful, that’s “AI”, there is the constant background fear being discussed, of skynet and terminator style AI robots destroying all. The truth is less exciting: killer robots require lots of very expensive sensors and compute capability. Their programming tends to be much more brittle and slower to

How to run Shimano TT Brake Levers with SRAM AXS Shifting

On my latest bike build, a Trek Speed Concept, I wanted to use Shimano Dura-Ace brakes, because the levers and brakes are a bit nicer than SRAM, with SRAM AXS shifting, which I prefer for being more completely wireless. I particularly like the integrated button the Shimano shifters have. It seemed like it would be
