No, I never had any tests beyond the simple blood tests checking my electrolyte levels. This was before I realized that those tests won’t show you the problem. I simply made a hypothesis and tested, over and over. I have toyed with the idea

I find magnesium a tricky one to get right for me. I have tried most of the kinds available and have settled on magnesium chloride in a liquid form. It has a god awful taste, but has absolutely no other side effects. Citrate causes me to ha

I hear you, I was in the same boat. I had been to the doctor many times without much luck. I am outwardly healthy looking. Thin, fit with no other problems. I had a good doctor, but doctors are used to dealing with acute problems in people

Yep, it came up on my radar early on but all indications are that it is not diabetes. There was a time where I was looking at it pretty hard.

I take anywhere from 600mg to 1000mg throughout the day. It depends on my diet and other things. Never all at once.

Sorry, you asked about ‘possible upstream causes of electrolyte deficiency’. In my case I believe it is caused by an undiagnosed kidney problem loosely called ‘salt-wasting syndrome’. There are many types, but they all revolve around a gene

I also started with general “electrolytes” but found that one of my problems was that I was getting way too much sodium and not enough potassium. This was the primary driver of my post-meal somnolence. Most general electrolyte supplements a

I also take magnesium for sleep. I swear by it. I also believe I have an underlying kidney disorder that was causing all sorts of subtle problems and after researching for years decided to try potassium supplements and it relieved the acute

While true, this is overblown. RDA for potassium intake is 3500-5000mg daily for an adult male. Most people do not get close to this amount. Potassium supplements are 99mg per pill. You have to take a lot of pills to reach that level. Getti

Because part of their job, if they are good at it, is to present some data, measure how customers are responding to it, and then tweaking said data to get a better response. If you make it too hard for them to “tweak” it, then they will be

So riddle me this - Netflix’s revenue is around $9.5B. So a little more than the running costs of OpenAI. Do you think it is plausible that they will be able to get enough people to pay for OpenAI that Netflix? They would need much more rev

The thing is, right now it is artificially cheaper. It is being heavily subsidized by all providers in a race to capture market share. It simply cannot stay this cheap forever at current costs. Now, if costs change then we have a new story.

My first thought is - how do you get the contact information for a closed office? My current hack, which is not as great as yours, is to put a reminder on my calendar for a few days before my 1 year prescription ends. If I order new contact

I agree, for those that prefer biking and camping vs Disney world and hotels, then Mister Money Mustache’s advice rings true and seems logical. For those that have other ideas of what consists of a ‘good time’, then there is a limit to the

I agree with much of this, but I do think that there is a flaw in his logic - he operates on the notion that saving more of your income has a two-fold impact on your ability to retire. First, and most obvious, it increases how much savings

This only really works if you have a way to pay the bills outside of your salary, or are young enough to live with your parents or on a buddy’s couch.

Ok, I have never told anyone this, but I also sometimes wake up and “see” like a waterfall effect over my vision. It only happens very rarely and only for less than a minute after I get woken from a deep sleep. It is not unlike a moving sen

This is totally off topic and will likely get downvoted, but the topic of whether physical controls in a vehicle is a non-issue or critically important is the kind of conversation I want to have when interviewing a prospective employee. It

I think it is great that you know many people that use it daily. Can I ask how many PAY for it monthly? Is it as many people that, say, pay for netflix? Outside the tech world, of course. Do you see your friends and family paying for AI ser

A more charitable interpretation was that this person had a massive attack of cognitive dissonance when you told them what you found and was not able to reconcile it. They convinced themselves that “their” solution was actually a better fit

If you are valuing a business on SDE the multiple is usually 2.4-3. So this business as it is today would be worth more like 566-708. The beauty of building a business is that as the bottom line goes up your business is worth more, but it A

I agree. I also worked on EHR software and what people don’t realize is that the “customer” isn’t the doctor. Not to be disparaging, but the doctor is “just” an employee. The purchaser of the software is the administrator. And because of ha

From the included chart it looks like we are back to the pre-pandemic “good times” in total deals, down from the “Must-invest-in-everything crazy times” of the last couple of years. Is this really bad news?

I am not an expert, but I don't think that is the way it works. My guess is that the only reason that they could vote without Sam and Greg there is because they had a majority even if they were there. That means they had 4 votes, and t

No blood pressure meds. I take about 150MG of magnesium and 100mg of potassium before bed. The magnesium is Chloride, but in liquid form and causes no laxative effect (but tastes terrible!). It is a product called ReMag. I am sure other for

I also take Magnesium and swear by it. I also suspect I have some underlying kidney issues retaining many electrolytes and started taking a potassium with the magnesium at bedtime and it has transformed my sleep into baby-land. I sleep so h

If you don’t think that this goes on at Apple, I have a bridge to sell you. Just food for thought - why do you think that the ipad (with the same processor as the laptop) has not gotten more capable over the years? They can’t figure out how

I hope beyond hope that we continue to iterate on the current GPT-4 model. But statements made by Altman himself make me leery that it might not happen. That, coupled with the fact that it is just so expensive to run make me wonder if this

So this is the exact same problem with Realtors. They will say that they have a fiducial responsibility to represent you and that they will try to get you the best price (either the most or least, depending on whether they are on the sellin
