Whether "burning calories" is used for nutrition or for "burning fat," both terms are common in everyday speech. The rate of "burning" increases during fasting. I have linked one study published in Nature. Let&

Catabolism is an integral component of metabolism. Both anabolic (growth) and catabolic (breakdown) processes constitute the entirety of metabolic activities. The study that I linked examines a fasting period of 58 hours. Fasting for 58 hou

Did you read the study? The study is about prolonged fasting, up to 58 hours. They observed that metabolism Increased during fasting. > During human fasting, metabolic markers, including butyrates, carnitines, and branched-chain amino ac

The reason why that happened is quite simple. You are currently accustomed to being in a fed state, and it will take a while to adapt to a fasted state. Additionally, during the initial period, you may experience issues such as sugar withdr

This is quite a stretch to call Ansible, which consists of YAML files with syntactic sugar and some light Python evaluation, 'Lisp'. I thought reading the article would make less inflammatory but it didn't.

If you had used GPT-4 from the beginning, the quality of the responses would have been incredibly high. It also took 3 minutes to receive a full response. And prompt engineering tricks could get you wildly different outputs to a prompt. Us

The individual parts of diabetes, blood glucose, nutrition, cell energy systems are really well documented. But yet putting those facts together leads significant resistance.

In my experience, fear serves as a double-edged sword in software development. While it can inhibit us from making necessary changes, it also acts as a powerful motivator. The fear of introducing new bugs drives us to conduct thorough testi

It must be noted that science is not a single entity, and with nutrition, different sciences will have opposing views. For example, the ketogenic diet has been used in medicinal contexts for more than a century. Longevity research is heavil

While 'security through obscurity' shouldn't be your only defense, it still plays a crucial role within 'defense in depth' strategies. In the past, sensitive networks relied heavily on obscurity alone. Just dialing

The entire situation seems strangely surreal. With a name like Altman Sam, it's definitely evoking strong Hideo Kojima vibes.

Although you are correct, the goal of the comment was to illustrate why random walks would gravitate towards their starting point.

by Attummm 3y ago
Think of it this way: if randomness is evenly distributed, the steps to the left and right will balance out, just as the steps up and down will. This balance tends to keep the random walk close to its starting point.

Your second point raises an important consideration about defining terms like "better." For instance: "The new UI is better." "This code is better." However, without clarification, "better" can be sub

The human body doesn't need to store excess calories. It could store the excess calories or it can excrete energy through urine(glucose, ketones) Or it can ramp up metabolism, there are many scenarios. Not all lead to adipose tissue gr

Why would a mammal's body evolved to use fat cells to store and utilise lipids for energy? Plants have carbs in starch. Mammals evolved away from starch to store and use triglycerides. During fasting, the human body is able to survive

Did you know that bodybuilders in the 1950's(before anabolic steroids) used the egg and steak diet before contests as cutting diet to get lean? They would eat, as the name suggests, large quantities of steak and eggs with butter and ha

For libraries, tools, and frameworks, testing is crucial as it ensures that the code relying on them can address the issue at hand. Code can only be as reliable as what it's leaning on. So, to answer your question, a lot of time. In a

It's actually normal in science to have a back-and-forth of positive, negative, and neutral studies about any given topic. Minute changes in each study, within different contexts, can have significant impacts. If there is only one side

Perhaps it's a clickbait title, but while reading the article, it struck me that the obvious point is that the default choice tool is not the best in all situations; engineering is about tradeoffs. It's akin to saying why a machet

Lets keep it civil, food and nutrition are one of my hobbies next to software. As such I'm quite interested in what you would describe as balanced diet. Some call a balanced diet 80% healthy and 20% unhealthy. For example the link belo

Those points you have made are according to the latest science. But is that knowledge available for everyone?
