It's about ~2x from weekly of $100.

Seems unmaintained from July.

If low carb makes you feel better, I would urge you to try it, regardless of medication replacement or not. Disregard the 4-1, sometimes a 2-1 is enough.

The continuous ketones isn't a big thing IMO, hard to get insights at that level (you eat food by whitelist already).

You get used to it.

You can't compare optimizations done on audio encoding/decoding (often hand written assembly) to something like PostgreSQL which has many moving/inefficient parts.

The optimizations on PostgreSQL are real if done correctly, it's just a very big project.

> but if this turns out to be a real market, they will lower cost

Can you show 1 case of this happening?

Great! You're nearly there. Carnivore is the most potent form of keto in this scenario. What's left is to eat mostly ruminant meat, and, most importantly, eat the right amount of fat.

The amount of fat you need to eat is a bit unintuitive, so a bit rare to do it right without measuring with blood tests or previous guidance (or without eating mammoths or some type of high fat beast).

In picture it would look like this: https://x.com/KetoCarnivore/status/1725957981995737234

In grams it's at least 2g of fat for every 1g of (protein+carb).

Fish doesn't usually have this ratio, and normal meat neither because butchers trim it. And you can fight it by buying "beef fat trimmings", there are several ways.

The premise is you get medicine (or better!) level of benefits with fewer side effects.

So if it's 1 thing I could tell you is to buy that ketomojo!

> Specifically higher omega-3 fatty acids, and I mean really high.

How much & for what? I remember seeing a paper many years ago which claimed better depression at about 2g+ EPA/day.

> But also changes in my diet.

You should seriously try "metabolic psychiatry" for at least 6months with daily blood tests on GKI 1-2 (what children with epilepsy do). Most popular is for bipolar.

It points to the full primary key (which rarely changes).

Doubt. Check your igpu or gpu should have dedicated hardware decoder for h264.

Should be the same?

FoundationDB is only as metadata store.

Also, the database is the last thing you want to re-invent unless your business is explicitly building a db (even then it's best to re-use a db like all the postgresql forks that have existed)

There is no literature on carnivore, it's just people who eat more meat while still eating "normal" food.

While carnivore is eating only meat.

Your paper just said that you may have issues with blood lipids and stuff, there's no real measurements if those blood levels end up as real issues.

Example:

> In contrast, a systematic review by Palmer (2025) [12] concluded that the long-term adverse effects of red and processed meat consumption—such as increased risks of type 2 diabetes, cancer, obesity, hypertension, inflammation, and atherosclerosis—clearly outweigh any potential benefits [12].

Putting diabetes & obesity in there is literally insane! One big issue on carnivore or keto is it's very hard to gain weight, because protein & fat are very fulfilling.

The whole study is always "eating more meat might do this", and never considering real carnivore where you eat nothing else. And even on cases on carnivore, most of the things were extrapolating from the transitory period (hint: staying 30 years carnivore and transitioning to mediterrean also has issues)

Again, it's very hard when you know no details whatsoever.

This is a mongodb moment for you my man (going by marketing), but it's ok, you just don't know better, and don't have the tools or time or ability or the necessity! to try anything else.

1. It has the most nutrients that are absorb-able by the body.

2. You can live really well by only eating red meat (& fat). Think eating lamb everyday.

3. It is cheap enough. Some type of wild fish might be better but fish is expensive.

4. It can help diabetes & mental illnesses (IMO biggest healthcare costs).

5. You need to eat low carb & high fat for most of the benefits though.

You need to eat the fat, the fat is actually more important, you need a ratio of 2-1 (2 grams of fat for every gram of protein+carb) for mental issues.

1. Between them, diabetes is very easy. It should heal T2D, and make T1D glucose more stable so you need less insulin. When you've been T2D for more than 7 years becomes harder, might need more time or it's more complex. See https://www.virtahealth.com/ for diabetes

2. Epilepsy depends on what type you have, can fully heal or not work at all, because they have different mechanisms. Has been working for 100 years. https://charliefoundation.org/ for epilepsy

3. Mental issues the same as epilepsy, might work like a miracle, might not work at all, and everything in the middle, depending on the issue & root of the problem. Works surprisingly well in Bipolar Mania. https://www.metabolicmind.org/ for mental issues

This is a nice documentary that covers all cases above ^ including rising complications: Cholesterol Code Movie for complex topics/cases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Z8bUb1P94.

Complications that arise in the documentary above ^ are a bit rare in general population.
