You are proving my point here. Many people will just use the maximum available dose and disregard any safety information because... Vitamins! Some people apparently think it's not toxic, regardless what toxicologists think. Because, hell, what do they know. Right?! Here is a case from india...

You can buy capsules containing 40000 IU online in the UK: SunVit-D3 40,000 IU (1000µg) – 10 capsules With just one capsule, you can consume an amount that can pretty safely be considered toxic. That's why I have written that daily dose should not exceed 4000 IU and that's why the toxicity...

I think you and some other folks here have no clue what toxic means in a medical sense, so let me quote the definition from MedicineNet: Toxicity is usually measured in mg/kg and since we can't determine lethal dosis by experimentation on humans (too few volunteers), animal testing is used...

Let me quote from the NIH "Fact Sheet for Health Professionals" on Vitamin D: A substance where the toxicity starts at 10000IU = 250µg/d? Sounds pretty toxic to me. But hey, what do I know. Maybe you are the kind of person that eats arsenic for breakfast.

It's simply a very large pie! :lol:

Correlation != Causation. Who has low vitamin D levels? People who can't go outside much, i.e. very old people, who are bad walkers, and/or sick people, possibly bedridden. But they are exactly the high risk group for corona. So it is expected that among corona patients there are lots of cases...

That does explain Italy, but does it explain Spain (15x) or France (10x) or UK (10x) or Belgium (6x) or Netherlands (10x)? Mortality rates compared to Germany in brackets.

What confuses the hell out of me is the wildly divergent mortality rates. Right now, when I look at the John Hopkins Data mortality is more than 20x higher in Italy than in Germany. Sure, some differences can be explained away like Italy starting earlier, more elderly people living together with...

I have read a very interesting article today. The association of German lung clinics (Verband Pneumoliogischer Kliniken) suggests that some covid-19 patients who develop viral pneumonia may end up dead because they are get intubated too early and with much too much oxygen. This can lead to acute...

Sorry, but where has Trump said people should self-medicate with chloroquine? It's just dumb people doing dumb things. Medical drugs are not candy. It's not Trump's fault. You can hate him any way you want. Fine with me. But this is not on Trump. Chloroquine has been successfully used in...

Yes, but inference (i.e. applying a trained model) benefits from using INT8 and INT4. Inference is usually a time critical operation. Here is an example from nVidia on using INT4 for inference: https://devblogs.nvidia.com/int4-for-ai-inference/

Correct. I was wrong.

No. Because RT is mostly bandwidth limited for non-trivial scenes. The more deterministic your system is, the easier it is to work around known limitations. The less deterministic is it, the harder. Of course when playing a game, your scene changes, so that introduces some non-determinism to...

I don't think you understand very well what's going on here. PS5 will have trouble reaching it's theoretical maximum GPU power of 10.2TF while XSBX will reach 12.155TF much more easily because PS5 CPU memory access will eat up memory bandwidth in a non-deterministic way (that's because the...

That's nonsense. PS5 has to divide available memory bandwidth between GPU and CPU, so effective GPU memory bandwidth will be much lower than the theoretical maximum and less deterministic. XBSX GPU will have the fast memory all to itself (unless devs are morons) and CPU will almost always use...
