Failed in terms of science spending maybe, but even if they found everything they wanted the intrinsic value of this new knowledge to society is not really valuable in the same sense that the steel needed for the construction is valued.

It is now more than 20 years since the top quark was discovered, has society profited enought from knowing the mass of the top quark that the Tevatron is paid off?

Or is this way of thinking of science funding just destructive?

I concur! There's really no debate whether it's carbs or not, rather, what kind of carbs. We're starting to see that fructose containing carbs, e.g. Sucrose, HFCS, etc. Are those that in the long run sets one up for metabolic syndrome and and the inevitable accompanying diabetes.

It also explains why cultures consuming relative large amounts of carbs in the form starch/glucose haven't had the issues that we're currently experiencing.
Hi colah3, I was wondering how you're able to propagate the gradient through the renderer.
What I mean is:

f(X,Y,Z) = (x,y) (Mapping from 3D to 2D using renderer)

g(x,y) = (u,v) (mapping xy and uv)

h(x,y) = (r,g,b) (actual rendered image)

p(u,v) = (r,g,b) (texture map image)

gradient from upper layer is going to be wrt h(x,y) - dL/dh(x,y). How do you propagate this to get dL/dp ?

(Please let me know if this is explained in detail somewhere. Thanks!)

I don't know if this applies, but every time I travel in the US I'm amazed by the size of the portions when eating out compared to Europe/Asia. Could this be a factor?
> GDPR applies to all companies doing business in the EU and handling EU user data.

Only because the EU said it does. I don't think any country, the US included, agreed to abide by their laws. No one has such a treaty that somehow includes the GDPR, as far as I know. I can only imagine their only way of enforcing it is by using their economic strength as leverage and threatening to place tariffs on some export or import or such.

> I'm not saying if it's good or not, but if they wouldn't abide, they'd be blocked from doing business in the EU.

Is that the plan? Put up a giant firewall around the whole EU, heuristically blocking foreign businesses that didn't comply?

As far as I know, they "require" world internet businesses to have a company branch physically in the EU, but how are they going to enforce that? They put fines on violations, but are they really planning to go to any nation in the world and enforce payment, citing law that's foreign to the citizens of that land? It seems silly, or unjust and scary if it turns out doable.

EDIT: I'm not necessarily against the GDPR. I think it's a move in the right direction with respect to respecting user data, but I am concerned with the fact that it tries to assign obligations worldwide without being a worldwide treaty. Not that I'm saying that it would be practical (or even a practical possibility) to have a worldwide treaty, but the way this is forced also seems like a move in the wrong direction with respect to world internet unity or international respect for national sovereignty.

I'm in it for fitness, but I'm out-of-shape because I'm overweight. I have made it a point not to weigh and instead judge my progress on changing clothes sizes and aerobic capacity.

I'm down an incredible amount, maybe 6 inches or more on my waist. Inflammation and joint pain are gone as well. In addition, I don't get tired as much.

Basically my entire system has changed.

What I'm religious about is logging everything I eat. So I log calories. And of course, I eat less of them. (I think this is one of the confounding variables when people look across studies simply at macros). So in a way, there is some thermodynamics at work, but the thing is: that's not the controlling factor. Limiting carbs changes my relationship to food. Once that's done, it doesn't matter so much how much I eat. I could go a day or two eating nothing. I still have hunger, but it's not an overwhelming feelig that drives eating too much like it used to be. Nowhere close.

I'll probably weigh in another 12 weeks. I need to weigh sometime.

I'm usually between 1200-1400 calories. I burn about 1300 daily on cardio. I have been pigging out the last few days, however, with my intake up around 1550 calories or so.

In all honesty, I just don't feel like eating in the same way I used to. My relationship with food has changed in a profound way that is difficult to relate to people who haven't been here.
Speculating wildly here, would it be possible after a meal to drink a liquid, which contains chemicals which bound to the carbs and makes them un-absorbable? Some sort of carb neutralizer?

Basically vomiting your meal out like the romans did, but in a more elegant way.

> Excessive insulin production triggers the body to store energy as fat.

The 'insulin hypothesis'? Completely unproven.

> If you drastically reduce your carb intake, your body will enter a state of ketosis where fat will be burned as energy. Barring some rare medical or genetic issue, this WILL cause you to lose weight. It’s a scientific fact.

If you reduce your overall calories you'll lose weight, you can do that on any diet. That's the only thing that is a scientific fact.

Are your high- and low-calorie diets both just different quantities of roughly the same proportion of foods/nutrients? If so, then it seems like you aren’t really testing the calorie count independently. A better comparison might be a high-calorie diet of “healthy” foods versus a low-calorie diet of “unhealthy” foods.

I've gone through some "company culture training." At first I thought it was a good way to waste two days and was resentful because it was required training. However, even with that poor mindset I gained several key insights from it and I'm glad I was forced to go.

With that experience in mind now I approach all company training in a more positive attitude. Sure most of it is useless but every so often there is something to gain so might as well make the most of it.

If you have your IDE properly configured with the include dirs needed to build, at least MSVC can autocomplete for you. Personally, I don't rely on this, as I do most of my C++ work from the command line using bash, vim & make.

Can't explain why, but for C++ projects, I intuitively remember what paths I need for headers, but for a C# project, I rely upon autocomplete as a crutch. Maybe it's just how much more time I spend doing C++ work and the time I spend with the libraries I use vs the relatively small time I spend with C#.
Is there a chance that we are over thinking this in the hope for a complex golden bullet when in reality the problem is simply eating more calories that we burn

For this to be true, it would have to be true that the millions of people struggling with weight, and the tens of thousands of researchers in the field, are all simply idiots who are not as smart as you.

The payload cost dwarfs the launch cost. These big missions end up "battlestar galactica" (an actual term used) - a big fail would be a disaster so more money must be spent to really ensure success - meaning it's even bigger - meaning risk must be still lowered.

It's a growth spiral leading to stagnation.

"'Carbs' can mean broccoli or pure sugar."

And since this analysis is using published scientific papers, you can be reasonably sure that the investigators did not make these kinds of completely novice errors in methodology. Certainly not across the board. I have never seen a study of the issue that confuses simple sugars with cellulose. Nearly all studies are based on the glycemic index, and use high- or low-glycemic-index foods as their discriminator.

Most scientists are actually pretty good at their jobs. Obvious factors are controlled wherever possible. If you want to make this kind of a critique to a meta-analysis, you're actually making an extraordinary claim, and you must provide extraordinary evidence of improbable, correlated errors in the underlying studies.

By definition any diet "below your caloric maintenance" isn't going to be something you can "stick with" with no interruptions... unless the deficit is so slight that you die from other causes first :p
Around 8 years ago I was on a project where my boss told me the web app I'd be working on was really slow, and they needed me to help them speed it up. When I took a look at it, I discovered the app was using a multitude of libraries with overlapping functionality - jQuery, ExtJS, Mochikit, YUI, and I think a few others. Every previous developer had simply included their library of choice when working on the app, and it had made the app overly bloated (and complicated). Definitely a good sign that browser APIs and their polyfills have become good enough for standard web app development.
So you combine keto with intermittent fasting? Is that deliberate, or do you sometimes forget to eat for days?
I should clarify: I have seen the planets before, but I can't remember being able to see this much detail without a telescope or binoculars.

Most people I know hate traveling for work because the food options presented are less healthy and opportunities for exercise are more limited so they tend to gain weight.

I prefer more active vacations opposed to sitting on a beach, but I also love food when traveling so much so that I find more places to eat than reasonable meals. So even when being more active I tend to plateau or gain weight. The worst is traveling to a place where the food isn't good. The one cruise I took eating felt like a chore. There were too many options to eat, but none of the food was very impressive.

Any "hypothesis" that tries to reduce something as complex as nutrition to a single factor is going to be easy to shoot holes in. This article sets up carbs as a straw-man.

Simple carbs are calorie-dense and tend to increase hunger. There are many more factors at play, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that reducing your simple-carbs intake will probably help and not hurt your efforts to lose weight.

Another perspective is seeing food as batteries - do you want this 400-calorie pile to provide power across 4 hours, or do you want it to burn out in under 20 minutes?

I agree - jQuery has done a lot to help inspire what querySelector and fetch are today (among many other things). The only cause for concern I have is what might frameworks in current vogue might do to influence standard APIs of the future.
You should consider the possibility that people who lift weights, carefully monitor their caloric intake, and can successfully resist tempting food are not at all typical of the population at large. And I don't just mean that you possess additional knowledge that most people don't possess, but that there is something fundamental about your personality that makes you different.

> If you drastically reduce your carb intake, your body will enter a state of ketosis where fat will be burned as energy.

Ketosis is a lot harder to achieve than you think, and very easy to break out of. The reason low-carb diets work so well is the reason that any effective diet works: you intake fewer calories. You do this because in order to make up the caloric deficit of your missing carbs, you intake more protein and fat. But protein is the most satiating macro, which means you eat less protein than you would have carbs calorie-for-calorie.

The reason so many people rave about keto is because it's simple. The same could be said for intermittent fasting, and many other diets.

All of them work, some just work better than others for certain people. You have to find something that works with your schedule, your tastes and one you can stick to. That's it.
They can probably do the firewall thing and/or block any payments from EU accounts to the company.

We'll see for sure if and when it happens in practice. Though I suppose it won't, any company sizeable enough would lose too big a market this way. And I don't think they'll go after the smaller ones, at least for a while.

I don't like the methods they can try to enforce gdpr with, though I literally love the law itself.
I'm deliberately doing 18-6, 18 hours of fasting and a 6-hour window for eating.

Because I log everything, I make myself eat. In fact, I've considered upping my intake based on my daily cardio. It's just I've tried multi-day fasting and it was fine. I've also skipped lunch and just had one meal a day. It was also fine. No muss, no fuss. My liver continues to generate as much glucose as I need to go about whatever I'm doing.

I would not have believed this possible four months ago.

I'm an amateur olympic-style weightlifter with a similar schedule to yours, and after trying every trick diet in the book I've come to the same conclusion. The only real advantage I can see from diets like paleo, keto, etc. is that they can make the average person feel satisfied with less calories. Also, processed high carb foods tend to be surprisingly high calorie bombs. But, it all comes down to cals in vs cals expended.

The discussion around _quality_ of calories, the mix of macronutrients for performance, etc is an entire separate can of worms.

Employer-employee relationships are very different from PI-institution relationships. PIs operate like little businesses within an institution. They write their own grants for their own funding. Sometimes the institution coughs up some corn, but usually it goes the other way. The institution extracts overheads from grant funds to pay for infrastructure.

When it comes to matters of research, it's rare in the American system that PIs take orders from the institution.
I’m not looking for a “pat on the back” and I apologise if I come across as supercilious but it should be possible to normalise for calorie requirement based on a persons activity level, an elite cyclist will burn 6000 calories a day, a middle of the road gym goer burns 3000 and a sedentary office worker who walks the last half mile to work burns just under 2000. If any of them consume more than what they burn they will gain weight, only it is easier to eat 2500 when you are the office worker and gain weight without realising why than it is to eat 3500 while going to the gym a lot and not realise why.

My concern is that while the obesity problem is getting worse we are looking for more and more complex reasons when in reality most people consume more calories than they require.

I'm not sure you actually understand my position, which has nothing to do with which philosophy is "right" or "better", but, rather, that the one you seem to object to so strenuously on moral grounds, both existed and was a valid engineering consideration/strategy at the time.

To falsify it, you would merely need documentation that such a philosophy was not a consideration in this design.

If it's falsified, then there may well be something new to be learned about design and mistakes to be avoided.

Otherwise, it's just another example of "Worse Is Better" and isn't worth the effort.
