Strong Dads - Merrill introduces “Strong Dads,” a program that includes a weekly workout and Bible study. This segment offers a chance for fathers to come together, exercise, and discuss personal growth and family dynamics.Weekly Workouts and ChallengesMerrill mentions the regular Saturday morning workout sessions at their office in St. Leon. Each session includes a 45-minute workout followed by a 45-minute Bible study. Merrill emphasizes the importance of community in “Strong Dads” workouts. The discussions during the Bible study shed light on personal struggles and the different interpretations of scripture, allowing everyone to gain new insights.The Structure of WorkoutsThe hosts delve into their workout philosophies, highlighting their different athletic backgrounds—Merrill as a swimmer and Andy as a college football player. They discuss how their training methods have evolved over time, shifting from traditional strength training to more endurance-focused workouts.Andy's Workout ApproachAndy describes his current workout regimen, which includes three strength workouts and three cardio sessions per week. His training has transitioned towards endurance and hybrid athleticism, inspired by the book “The Hybrid Athlete” by Alex Viata.He incorporates various modalities like running, biking, and using specialized gym equipment to maintain versatility in his fitness routine.Merrill's Workout EvolutionMerrill reflects on his swimming background, sharing experiences from his high school days with innovative training methods, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) long before it became mainstream. He explains how this approach focused on short bursts of intense effort, interspersed with minimal rest.Functional Movements and TrainingThe conversation shifts to the importance of functional movements in strength training. The hosts agree that workouts should emulate real-life movements to improve functional strength. Incorporating Rotation and MobilityAndy talks about the significance of rotational movements in training, which are often neglected in standard gym routines. He shares insights from a functional movement specialist about the body's natural need for rotation and how incorporating these movements can enhance overall strength and longevity.Changing Mindsets on TrainingMerrill discusses abandoning the notion that knees should never go over toes during squats, citing the work of Ben Patrick (Knees Over Toes Guy) who advocates for improved knee health through full range of motion exercises.Andy mentions moving away from maxing out on lifts due to the risks associated with it and focusing on more functional and varied strength exercises.Nutrition and SupplementsThe hosts briefly touch on nutrition, emphasizing that good dietary practices are crucial for performance and recovery. They suggest the following: 1. Protein Intake: Critical for muscle repair and growth. 2. Hydration and Electrolytes: Essential for maintaining energy levels during workouts. 3. Creatine: Recommended for enhancing recovery and performance, particularly in endurance activities.Merrill and Andy emphasize that supplements should not replace a balanced diet, and the foundation of good nutrition is essential for effective training.https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies,#familytherapy,#marriagecounseling,#parenting,#faithbasedcounseling,#counseling,#Strongdads,#coaching,#lifecoach,#lifecoaching,#marriagecoaching,#marriageandfamily,#control,#security,#respect,#affection,#love,#purpose,#faith,#mastersofdisaster,#storms,#disasterrelief,#tornados,#hurricanes,#floods

Hey Everyday Sniper Fans, Welcome to the TheHide.TV podcast, and in this episode I again simulcast to the Hide TV Page, but more importantly, I talk bullet weights. We just got in from the Range on a Windy week out here on the front range. And with the new Detroit Gun Works rifle I was checking different load weights to see which performed the best. After testing the 100gr Hornady VT and the 130gr Norma Golden Target where the two best performers. I wanted to see which bullet had the best balance of speed and performance. Both the 100gr and 130gr Bullets were the best load wise. I mentioned a couple of articles Chris wrote, I want to link them here: Wheel of Time - Time of Flight Choosing the Right Bullet Remember these aren't events but a process to use Marc's words, so we want to experiment and see what works for our style of shooting. Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing and thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast
This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
In this episode, Kelly Hong, a researcher at Chroma, joins us to discuss "Generative Benchmarking," a novel approach to evaluating retrieval systems, like RAG applications, using synthetic data. Kelly explains how traditional benchmarks like MTEB fail to represent real-world query patterns and how embedding models that perform well on public benchmarks often underperform in production. The conversation explores the two-step process of Generative Benchmarking: filtering documents to focus on relevant content and generating queries that mimic actual user behavior. Kelly shares insights from applying this approach to Weights & Biases' technical support bot, revealing how domain-specific evaluation provides more accurate assessments of embedding model performance. We also discuss the importance of aligning LLM judges with human preferences, the impact of chunking strategies on retrieval effectiveness, and how production queries differ from benchmark queries in ambiguity and style. Throughout the episode, Kelly emphasizes the need for systematic evaluation approaches that go beyond "vibe checks" to help developers build more effective RAG applications.
