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.

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.

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)

Yes, but isn't it predicted that the average life expectancy of the current generation will be less than that of the prior generations?

Double down on this. I want to work in Aerospace, but not for the military industrial complex. Who do I work for?

I've run into this problem. But I believe the parent was referring to the situation where new lambdas spin up and aren't immediately ready to respond to invocations. The delay can be significant in some cases though almost immeasurable in aggregate.
