- > In 2013, meanwhile, researchers in the Netherlands subjected 17 healthy adults to temperatures of 15-16C (59-60.8F) for six hours a day.
It seems that that these articles often discuss cold plunges, cold showers etc. but the rigorous research is often conducted simply via rooms with reduced temperature combined with light clothing.
- To me it's interesting that some type 1 diabetics prefer to manage the disease with a carbohydrate-restricted diet, but some type 1 diabetics prefer to use completely opposite strategy and choose to eat a low-fat diet instead. Here is an article written by a type 1 diabetic with a non-diabetic blood glucose levels on a low-fat diet:

I'm not sure what explains the discrepancy. The medical guidelines seem to recommend the same diet for type 1 diabetics as anyone else.
- If I'm looking at this right it's around 413 uses in a month in this particular web page. I don't know if they somehow distinguish actual use versus "trying it out". I think it's great these things are considered but I'm a bit skeptical they actually increase physical safety of people at risk. Maybe these buttons increase perceived safety, which is a good thing?
- In my opinion this kind of genetic research on autism strengthens the view that mild to moderate autistic traits are inherited features, not pathological diseases. The heritability estimates of autistic traits are very high, even higher than e.g. human height. I don't want to undermine the real symptoms of anyone with autism, I'm sure they can be a real pain. But I'm skeptical of e.g. treating autism with therapy, it reminds me of conversion therapies.
- Im not familiar with this type of research but the appendix figures and tables are very useful to grasp what methodology they are using here. I wondered how they quantify the responses to numeric values to compare with the gold standard. It seems they simply ask the LLM to respond with a numeric answer
