I appreciate people working on eBPF internals and writing blogs about it. It's super nice

Next up @apanda
talks about Why Nines? No cats this time because they were all busy working on their NINeS papers.

Congratulations Gianni

I'm not sure if NLP is relevant, or not. But what I remember from python's doctest is that it checks some unittest embeded into docstring.

It would be nice if there was a test that flagged undocumented assumptions, abstraction, control flow, ...

With advancements in NLP maybe software eng. can finally write test cases for their documentations so that poorly documented part of the code does not pass the test.

[thought crosses his mind while suffers to understand what's going on]

Cloudlab has been an enabler for me. Eternally grateful for its existence

:/ ... there are still lots to do

Here is a good reason to submit your paper to CoNEXT 2026: I will be the PC chair :)

who should you talk to if you want a new eBPF hook in the kernel? Is there a documention for adding one? The macro magic and random verifier details poping out of no where is disheartening

Imagining the troubles in running each of the kernel bypass systems compated in the paper, I say it's a heroic job

Why NINeS? Because Ludovica supports it :D

behaviour undefined, or is it right?

ISA manuals out of sight
and I'm contemplating learning rust

piggybacking congrol data seems to be super useful even for flows with large message sizes because it avoids extra work and frees the CPU
