If you read the article, you'll notice that this fact is acknowledged there. The issue is that energy in and energy out are not so simple as the Nutrition Facts make them seem. For example, different amounts of energy are consumed in the process of digesting various foods, and some energy is excreted undigested, in a way that depends on the food and the person. Similar complexities apply on the "calories out" side, where a large fraction of your energy expenditure is not directly controlled by your choice of activities like exercise. Ultimately there is some arithmetic of calories in minus calories out, but it is not captured by the simplistic calculations that are normally done.

You can't reverse a typical blur algorithmically, since it destroys information. You can only guess at the information that was there before the blur, and work from there.

The stronger the blur intensity, the amount of possible starting states to get to that blur increases exponentially. If you blur enough, every pixel is the same color, which obviously has destroyed all information.

But if I know that the blurred content is a social security code written in 12pt Times New Roman - I can perform a blur operation on a million SSNs, and see which one matches most closely to the mess I have on the screen. It's easier with bar codes.

From experience, Free's ADSL+4G aggregation is stupid. The router needs ADSL to be up all the time and aggregation is unpredictable and opaque. Being the carrier for both ADSL and 4G would've enabled them to do multi-path magic and assign the same IP to both endpoints yet they don't. It seems to be basic bonding.

Yes, at least using the transit method.

Sometimes, we do use the Doppler shift caused by a planet pulling the star towards or away from us. That works as long as the orbital plane is not perfectly perpendicular to us. However, it only works for large planets (and reasonably sized stars) that have sufficient gravity to make the star move fast enough to see the light shift red or blue. An earth-mass planet would be undetectable compared to a Jovian planet.

The transit method requires the orbital plane to be perfectly on axis so we can observe an eclipse as the planet passes between the star and our telescope. This is rare, but works for even small planets, as long as the angle is right. And if one angle is right, it's likely that others will be close enough as well; a large planet can also be observed. In systems that are at the right angle, Kepler often found several planets:

The problem with calorie counting is you're sort of modelling the human body on simple machines, like say, cars.

But the body is actually a complex system, and the core quality of a complex system is adaptation.

This means you can cut calroies below your current burn rate and still gain weight, because your burn rate will change.

To illustrate: suppose you consume 4000 calories a day, with your body burning 3000 of them and storing 1000. Does cutting to 2500 guarantee you will be burning 500 extra calories from your fat storage? Not at all. Your body can easily adapt by burning 2000 calories and storing 500.

Obviously the numbers are just for illustration purposes and I'm not claiming they are realistic by any means.

What you really want is to inroduce changes that make your body adapt into accessing your fat storage for energy.

So if we go back to the above (obviously flawed) example: what you want is to make your body burn all the input you are giving it (even if it remains at 4000) AND on top of that burn, say, 500 calories from its fat storage.

How do you do that?

I can't claim to have the answer, but two things come to mind:

1. Walking.

I've personally lost weight by just walking a lot - with no changes to deit. By a lot I mean several hours a day.

Needless to say, I was single then. It's not really easy to do when you have family and children.

But the point is: exercise. Exercise that requires energy.

The good thing about walking is it's generally relaxing. You can actually walk for 2~3 hours and genuinely be enjoying yourself.

For exercising: I'm find exercise-band based workouts at home to have a similar effect: they use energy but I'm generally enjoying myself when I'm doing them. It's a bit different from weight lifting in that you can easily adjsut the resistance to be just right for your skill/experience/strength level, so that you do get a real workout, but don't feel like your muscles and bones are dying.

2. Hormones.

Cortisol and Insulin.

By eating during a short window (intermittent fasting) you can limit the amount and duration in which your body uses the energy from the food (regulated by insulin).

Working out while fasted (say, after you wake up and before you eat) will teach your body to access its fat storage for energy. And apparently it also increases your metabolic rate for several hours after.

By sleeping well, removing stress, and avoiding coffee, you can reduce the amount and duration in which cortisol is circulating in your body.

The thing about low-calories diets is they feel like stress and increase cortisol, thus sabotaging the whole thing.

Being stressed and not having enough sleep is the surest way to absolutely oblitirate your "will power" and make you want to eat for comform.

Incrase the amount of protein in your food is another thing that apparently helps regulat your hormones in a desireable way. And anyway it's needed if you workout (which you should, if you want to lose fat).

On top of this plethora of technology and various providers, doesn't bonding all links to a single solution provider (Speedify) create a single point of failure?

From https://speedify.com/features/

> What kinds of servers do you have?
> We use a combination of dedicated and virtual servers, depending on location and scalability needs. All of our servers have at least 1 Gbps network access and are optimized for bandwidth intensive usage such as live streaming, video conferencing or online gaming.

Let's assume the best case, where Speedify implements this as swarms of redundant servers, so that even if some servers or datacenters are down it may continue to work.

I could not find in the article any mention of disabling Speedify and falling back to using a single provider, or a local bonding solution like described on https://wiki.debian.org/Bonding .

Isn't speedify still a "single point of failure", in the sense that any incident with Speedify (e.g. accounting glitch of any kind) may cause the whole contraption to fall like a house of cards?

> If your body uses more energy than you eat, it must burn fat

This is totally wrong. The body can also slow down your metabolism, twitch less, think slower (if you had read the article you'd see this is addressed), decrease the effectiveness of your organs, not to mention "eat" some of your nonfat muscle mass.

The people advancing the CICO idea have obviously never struggled with their weight. It is super clear to me as a person who has bounced back and forth between fit to overweight for my entire adult life that there is nothing I could ever do to be as "skinny" as the skinny people I know, all of whom eat and drink way more than me, and usually don't exercise at all.

CICO is not real advice, it's telling people to develop eating disorders, i.e. starve themselves. And for what? To bolster the ego of you and the ~60% of people who are naturally less likely to accumulate body fat, who like to believe they are just smarter or know something about nutrition that people like me don't. But it's exactly the opposite. I know more about nutrition than any of my skinny friends. Social pressure has demanded that I do so. It doesn't actually help, and the smugness of commenters on HN doesn't either.
Only if your optics are so scoped in that you can't see the big picture.
The irony for me is that Unix was the (unhappy) inspiration for the famous “worse is better” memo. The Unix workstation vendors made high end hardware with (semi-) commodity software, and had their lunch eaten by generic hardware coupled with software that gave more people a better experience.

(Though personally not at all a fan of most of the Unix paradigm, for me it’s a vastly superior experience to Windows. But I can’t deny that that is not the case for most people)
I also think there is a difference between what they say they do and what they do. It seems you are focusing on the former, while I am focusing on the latter.

Consider someone who is upholding a tradition. They may give you an explanation which may not do it justice. That is not to say all traditions are relevant or useful, but I think that there is a possibility that a tradition can go beyond the scope of an individual's awareness, and copying is often far cheaper than rebuilding from scratch and working through trial and error.

> I used to be able to eat 3500 calories a day and not gain weight. Now in my 40's if I eat more than 2500 I put on weight.

Could it be that chronic calorie reduction has made your body adapt?
> Cardio is important for overall health, but you aren't going to burn enough calories for it to be a major source of weight loss.

You need to build the stamina to keep it up. But assuming you can maintain a moderate to strenuous pace for 30 minutes you can burn off a small meal's worth of calories. An hour of moderate running can be around 600 calories for an adult male.
That's an excellent overview. I think I got the gist now.

There's all sorts of subtle details though that's probably just "implementation details" of this system. How and where do worker threads spawn up? Clearly sendfile / kTLS have great synergies, etc. etc.

Its a lot of detail, and an impressive result for sure. I probably don't have the time to study this on my own so of course, I've got lots and lots of questions. This discussion has been very helpful.

------

I think some of the "missing picture" is the interaction of sendfile / kTLS. It makes sense, but just studying these slides have solidified a lot for me as well: https://papers.freebsd.org/2019/EuroBSDCon/shwartsman_gallat...

Adding the NUMA things "on top" of sendfile/kTLS is clearly another issue. The hashing of TCP/Port information into particular links is absolutely important, because of the "Physical location" of the ports matter.

I think I have the gist at this point. But that's a lot of moving parts here. And the whole NUMA-fabric being the bottleneck just ups the complexity of this "simple" TLS stream going on...

EDIT: I guess some other bottleneck exists for Intel/Ampere's chips? There's no NUMA in those. Very curious.

----

Rereading "Disk centric siloing" slides later on actually answer a lot of my questions. I think my mental model was disk-centric siloing and I just didn't realize it. Those slides work exactly how I think this "should" have worked, but it seems like that strategy was shown to be inferior to the strategy talked about in the bulk of this presentation.

Hmmm, so my last "criticism" to this excellent presentation. Maybe an early slide that lays out the strategies you tried? (Disk Siloing. Network-siloing. Software kTLS, and Hardware kTLS offload)?

Just one slide at the beginning saying "I tried many architectures" would remind the audience that many seemingly good solutions exist. Something I personally forgot in this discussion thread.

> Now, there's no way win9x comes even close to debian in terms of hackability.

True… though not for the reasons you've listed. It's hackable because half the programs are written in Python or Perl, and because it has man pages; your average 6 year old mucking about with the system will eventually stumble across them. Also, environments like LXDE are fairly customisable, providing insight into how the system works.

The ability to download sources with `apt-source` (or whatever the command is) isn't useful if the guts aren't exposed for you to play with; you'll never want to do something if you don't know it's possible in the first place. (A bad thing about Windows: I could never make .EXE files. A good thing about Windows: I learnt what .EXE and .DLL files were, and that they could contain icon resources, just by mucking around with the GUI interface.)

But yes, had I grown up with Debian, I probably would've had more fun. :-P
