There are only two forms, the plant/mushroom form (D2) and animal (D3) form. As with anything fat-soluble it's wise to take it as part of a meal that includes plenty of fat. The problem with most studies is, surely in part because

The fear of vitamin D overdose is GREATLY overblown, people recover even with overdose with ridiculous (2 MILLION) units over several weeks, anyway, it's strange how much fear has been manufactured over this particular "vitamin&qu

Why wouldn't you just use Claude 3? It's going to be miles better than any OSS model.

It understands instructions better, it's rarer to have it misunderstand, and I have to be less careful with prompting.

Why not? Mistral was first to do it, it has become tradition.

Claude 3 has *decisively* beat GPT-4, I wonder how all their attributes compare.

I said that our preferences was for meat, hence "facultative carnivore". Just like dogs really, and incidentally dog owners who feed their dogs 100% meat will tell you how much healthier they are.

Re: "doesn't track", I don't understand how? Humans are not able to ferment plant matter like the big apes, our digestive system is closer to that of a dog. We don't seem optimized for digesting plant matter at all.

First of all, "not eating meat" often means "stops eating junk food", not that literally removing the ~70 grams of red meat, say, Americans are eating per day. I've been around the block with diets, after my own hea
