zthrowaway··on Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US
Gut cleanses is really just a herbal medicine protocol you do for a few weeks. Herbal medicine is not stupid, it has been used for thousands of years. Hell even some pharmaceutical drugs use herbs.

I mean a program (series of herbal supplements) that can cure gut inflammation and help with digestion, and in some circumstances get rid of parasites. Herbal medicine, things that other cultures have been doing for thousands of years. Do I have to prove that turmeric lowers inflammation in the body? What is going on in this thread lol.

“gut cleanse” obviously is a trigger phrase on HN it seems.

Bangladesh actually had one of the highest parasite rates among children until the last decade.

Parasites are quite a global problem: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbio.... I don’t even know why we’re arguing this.

Now we don’t know what toxins are? Really?

I was thinking of the 60% global statistic. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbio...

I had gut dysbiosis for the past couple of years. Went to an alternative/func doctor and she helped me do a program such as this, in a safe manner: https://www.gutprotocols.com/products/full-moon-kit-parasite...

While yes this isn’t scientifically backed, because there’s just no clinical trials yet, doesn’t mean it is bunk. I did a program myself and it fixed all of my problems. My stool inflammatory markers went down drastically, as did my myriad of symptoms that caused me issues every day.

Perhaps I was wrong in strongly recommending people just go do this randomly without any doctor oversight. Whatever. I just wanted to offer my experience because it helped me and can help others. Take it or leave it.

Well for me it killed the parasites I had plaguing me and cured a lot of sickness I was experiencing. To each his own.
zthrowaway··on Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US
I think part of this can be attributed to prolonged gut inflammation caused by toxins and parasites. There’s something like 60% of the population has some form of parasite and have no idea, which causes a lot of inflammation and problems. Problems that don’t necessarily point to the gut being the culprit on the surface. So it’s misdiagnosed a lot.

I recommend everyone do a gut cleanse once a year.

zthrowaway··on Google to provide Pentagon with AI agents
This should surprise no one. A CIA-backed VC was one of the first investors of Google. Big tech will always serve the powers that be. Employees that think their letters of appeal will do anything live in a fantasy land. That’s not how the real world works.
zthrowaway··on Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command
Stores his production TF state on his local computer…

I don’t think AI is to blame here.

zthrowaway··on Tech employment now significantly worse than the 2008 or 2020 recessions
Yup. Amazon doubled their workforce through the pandemic. I think a lot of tech companies are still cutting fat from those days.
zthrowaway··on Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence
My day to day is even busier now with agents all over the place making code changes. The Security landscape is even more complex now overnight. The only negative impact I see is that there’s not much need for junior devs right now. The agent fills that role in a way. But we’ll have to backfill some way or another.
zthrowaway··on Pentagon formally labels Anthropic supply-chain risk
Mark Levin is that you?
zthrowaway··on TikTok will not introduce end-to-end encryption, saying it makes users less safe
Making users less safe from… letting us snoop on all your communications for “national security”.
zthrowaway··on GitHub having issues [resolved]
Microslop ruins everything it touches.
zthrowaway··on India's top court angry after junior judge cites fake AI-generated orders
Do we see this a lot in the US? This seems to be more unique to India.
zthrowaway··on OpenAI – How to delete your account
We already live in an oligarchy. The difference between us and Russia is that their government controls the oligarchy. Here the oligarchy controls the government.

Also please stop throwing around the fascist word for everything, good lord it’s tiring and cringe.

zthrowaway··on 10 years building vertical software: are we cooked?
Getting really sick and tired of the AI doomerism.
zthrowaway··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
Historically speaking, you don’t get kicked out of the communist club, they just kill you.

In what way?
zthrowaway··on Officials Claim Drone Incursion Led to Shutdown of El Paso Airport
FAA restrictions aren’t applied in a hand wavy fashion.

zthrowaway··on Microsoft is walking back Windows 11's AI overload
I can’t believe I’m going to type this, but I miss the Ballmer days. Current leadership has somehow made this company even worse.
zthrowaway··on The ex-CIA agents deciding Facebook's content policy (2022)
I remember when this was dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory.
zthrowaway··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
The Big Bang theory was created by a Catholic priest. So yes.
zthrowaway··on Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-8 Max Experienced Dutch Roll
Yes but the alarming thing here is the damaged PCU...
zthrowaway··on Uber, Lyft to stop operations in Minneapolis over minimum wage law
Yes. More people should take note that there's always unintended consequences with price controls. It usually makes things much worse.

Reminds me of: https://www.lenconnect.com/story/opinion/columns/2013/09/23/...

zthrowaway··on US rail safety legislation stalled one year after East Palestine Ohio disaster
Over the past decade the Class 1's have been working towards doing 1 man crew's. But they're still 2 man at minimum. This bill achieves nothing. This is a "hey we did something about it! (please don't read what's in the bill and catch us bullshitting)."

What they should be doing is looking at the absurd increase in length of these trains to increase profits for the sake of safety, and the shortcutting of car maintenance. The latter which would've caught this issue to begin with.

zthrowaway··on Google Podcasts is going away
I haven't signed up to use any new Google products in years because of this and I'm continually validated in my decision.
zthrowaway··on Young people are flocking to astrology
The result of trying to strip ourselves of tradition no doubt. Astrology is a joke.
zthrowaway··on The president of Toyota will be replaced to accelerate the transition to EV
This fast paced transition doesn't sit right with me, still. I feel like people are turning a blind eye to the negative environmental impacts this is going to have.
