On: Vitamin D Supplementation and Covid-19/Long Covid Clinical Outcomes

[pwr1]

I take 10k-50k IU vitamin D3 every day and haven't been sick in years (knock on wood). Not saying that vitamin D3 is protecting me, but just saying...

Might be worth checking your blood level. $17.46 to do so at home seems reasonable.

The test will probably be useless, it will only show that op has enough vitamin D in their blood

>... it will only show that op has enough vitamin D in their blood

How can you know the result if you haven't tested?

[slow_typist → bookofjoe]

I can’t obviously. But if they don’t have enough, despite massive overdosing for years, that would be very surprising. (The test only shows one of three possible outcomes. It is not a quantitative procedure.)

[bookofjoe → slow_typist]

Concur: that would be surprising. I was more focused on the possibility of having a dangerously high blood level which is fraught with negative sequelae.

This test — among many others — offer quantitative results at home:

Obviously I do that. Also take appropriate amounts of K2.

>Obviously I do that

It wasn't obvious to me.

Wow that is a lot. 4,000 I.U. is the upper limit according to NIH — https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/#:~:text...

Love it, but when I clicked another show in the guide, nothing happened.

[zoklet-enjoyer → pwr1]

You need to click on the channel number. Clicking in the title of the show doesn't do anything.

[pwr1 → zoklet-enjoyer]

Ahh, now I see it. So cool! Bookmarked.

[shellfishgene → pwr1]

You have to click on the channel number in the first column.

Need a DVR for that (and a couple hours)

On: Show HN: I'm building niche AI agents with OpenClaw (Clawsify)

[pwr1]

Cool... I guess it depends which model you are using for these tasks. Are there certain models that perform better for a certain task, or maybe could be recommended based on quality/cost?

[Vanshfin → pwr1]

There is no doubt claude opus4.6 is best model to use this but it's expensive you can also try Hunter Alpha for open router it's free right now.

I don't think we've quite hit the "Her" stage yet. Before I fall in love with my AI agent, it has to stop pissing me off.

[bityard → pwr1]

Well, I've seen a few romcoms that started that way...
