Horrifying sure, but I am curious what is the motivation here. We use more lambdas and for more things than are generally considered kosher... one more couldn't hurt.

Hey, I have written (long ago!) production CGIs in bash. I’m still perfectly comfortable writing bash code but for most things it’s definitely not the right tool for the job.

Thank you sir. I know what I can do for the next few days!

TIL, thank you sir. Gonna try this out tomorrow.

I thought diet intervention is the primary treatment prior to dialysis. With the goal of prolonging the time until mechanical intervention or replacement becomes necessary. But I've never heard of diet alone taking someone off dialysis and a quick search for papers on the subject shows mostly positive associations of a reduction in protein on kidney function but nothing suggesting a magic bullet.

*edit To add, I have a couple of associates at my office approaching kidney failure. They're all on diet interventions to reduce protein and potassium. Not sure how the potassium interacts with it but I'm not a doctor either.

diet plays a huge role in kidney disease management for sure.

potassium is a big deal since it is filtered out by the kidneys and if your kidney function is lowered, dangerous levels could build up and possibly lead to a heart attack.

on the flip side you generally have to start ramping up protein intake once on dialysis.

but agreed that this isn’t straightforward and if it was so easy, people wouldn’t be on dialysis and renal dietitians would be overjoyed. it’s infuriating to read the other comments suggesting it’s all some garbage american diet.

Why is it infatuating... im just telling what has worked for me and 1,000s of others.

What harm will come from someone who is stage 3a to change their diet to uber healthy and increase water intake?

Are you a doctor?

It is everyones choice to make the best choices for themselves .. try things to see what works. I get labs monthly and review my progress/success with my renal doc. I finally found one who preaches diet change cause she has seen many patient success stories herself.

would it matter if they were a doctor? In your other comments you said that you ignored the advice of multiple doctors and took advice from a Facebook group instead.

I think they also prescribe phosphate binders I was on "Sevelamer"

I suspect this may vary in the USA depending on your insurance it was costing the NHS about £300 per bottle (about a grand for two months) - I suspect the price in the US might be a lot more

Only for the first few people who do it and it will come at a great cost to everyone else. Classic collective action problem at work and down right dangerous thinking. If even a fraction of the population acts on this idea the rate of transmission will increase and the overall outcome of the event will be worse.

Flatten the curve. Reduce the rate of spread. Buy time to keep the strain on the health care industry as low as possible. Increase the probability that vaccinations can be produced in time to assist. And stop spreading this ridiculous idea.

The communication delay is one of the key plot elements in The Three Body Problem books.

Yeah but the AI could pretend it knows.

Someone here wrote a POC. They happened to be fairly high up, not C-level but well respected. Basically, I can save x% cost using this. You can bootstrap that if you're not high enough to sit at the table, just need to convince someone who does.

I appreciate that this approach won't work for everyone.

This is oddly similar to what we're doing. Except my team is heading towards sagemaker against my wishes.

Does the use of neonicotinoids not also affect the native pollinators? I was under the impression that the issue is not solely honey bees but all insects. (Honey bees being a useful public face on the problem)
