Hey HN

We made a site that let's anyone measure the forever chemicals in their blood with the gold standard LC-MS/MS blood serum test at Quest Diagnostics.

If you're a firefighter, plant worker, planning to become pregnant or just someone who lives in an area with contaminated drinking water, check it out.

I live in Santa Cruz. Here are my results:

My lab findings: https://res.cloudinary.com/mpsh87/image/upload/v1687923285/l...

My total PFAS calculation: https://res.cloudinary.com/mpsh87/image/upload/v1687923482/p...

NASEM clinical recommendations based on Total PFAS: https://res.cloudinary.com/mpsh87/image/upload/c_scale,dpr_2...

The goal is to be under 2 ng/mL. I'm 10.86.

Honestly I was a bit surprised by my result and am currently deciding what to do next.

There's some research out of Australia indicating blood donation/phlebotomy is effective at removing it (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...) from the body. Fluorochemicals seem to bind to the albumin in the blood. I might try that.

Right now the site only works at Quest locations in California, but we're looking to expand to other states soon.

If you're local, the site is live and you can order the test right now. Results are currently taking between 11 and 18 days.

Thanks for reading my post.

Hello Hacker News community,

Wanted to share a project I started working on during my spare time and was then discovered by many in the open source community last week.

GPT Engineer’s mission: Be the open platform for devs to tinker with and build their personal code-generation toolbox.

I believe it's key for us devs to engage in how building software can and will change.

You can find more info about the flexible technical "philosophy" to make it work well, and the community we want it to become on github: https://ift.tt/jVsX0GM

The project is still in early stages. It's clear that there is a lot of room for improvement as the space to combine tricks that guide LLM's is large.

Appreciate any suggestions, experiences, or ideas on the project from you all!
