They don't mention it here, but I think they might on a different post? Rivers are going to show up more in a monospace font (which your link points out), so that would make sense. With modern fonts it makes sense to be putting the spaces in after a sentence stops for readability though. Microsoft word allows for manipulating spacing anywhere there are still rivers.

I've always been annoyed by the way html treats whitespace. Having more space between sentences is so much more readable.

Add a charachorder to this and you'll be typing crazy fast.

Doesn't stenotype also have chording though?

You can turn that feature off on Android phones.

The main use of computers in school should be teaching typing, word processing (and it probably should be with Word), number crunching and mathematics, and perhaps a little bit of graphics processing.

I agree that Excel should be taught, but also something like Mathematica (or some other CAS, rather than forcing TI calculators on kids). Python, perhaps through Jupyter Notebooks, would also probably be good too.

Honestly, for adults too, pen and paper is often a better solution. Word processing and number crunching are the main use cases for a computer and I think kids should learn these things with a computer, but it would be so much better if they had direct instruction in a computer lab rather than giving them all a distracting laptop/chromebook.

Some people are scared of fat (or the associated calories). From the blogs/ads about the creami, it seems that's the main reason people have.

Huh, I'm skeptical, but if a low-fat ice cream substitute really can be just as creamy as real ice cream then I guess I'm OK with people liking it. I'd love to try it one day, but I have such a good ice cream machine already and no need for a creami that I'll have to wait until someone I know gets one.

Here is the relevant table. It seems that it's not compared to none, but rather compared to less than one serving per month. https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1291...

Also, why would you want to defile the ice cream that already apparently lowers the risk of diabetes, haha.

That seems strange that the fat isn't contributing anything. The creamy mouthfeel is one of the reasons ice cream is so much better than "frozen dairy desert" or lots of frozen yogurts.

Also, does the creami only make things a soft-serve texture? Slightly harder ice cream is where it's at, in my opinion.

You do realize that the article that these comments are for is suggesting that maybe ice cream as it is now reduces the risk of diabetes. Maybe we shouldn't be claiming that low-X ice cream is healthier, haha.

How long does this take to freeze a room temperature ice cream batter?

I'm pretty sure there's more than mood going on here. Why is there not a "soda effect"?

I wouldn't be surprised if lower sugar ice cream is more effective (if there is a real, meaningful ice cream effect), but I think there is a lot more than just sugar leading to diabetes, and I don't think it's clear exactly how sugar is leading to diabetes. Is it because it's causing visceral fat? Is it directly causing gut dysbiosis?

Who is telling type 2 diabetics that they are going to die a horrible death from eating ice cream?

I think they are actually Jewish.

I don't know if keto ice cream is good for diabetes.

Haha, I can explain (2): they are a nutrition scientist!

In all seriousness, they precede that quote by saying: "it’s got fat, it’s got protein, it’s got vitamins." So I think it's the comparative lack of these things in bread that he is concerned with.

Yes, and fresh sorbets will almost always beat what you can find in a store.

Maybe ice cream companies have more scruples than yogurt companies. Or maybe it's more statistical literacy.

You need a good ice cream maker!

Why is eating a lot of ice cream necessarily going to not help you lose weight though? Also, does sugar, particularly when it is eaten with the other ingredients in ice cream, actually increase the risk of type II diabetes? I think we have no proof and the article is making that point.

Why? The whole point of the article is that people are making assumptions based off of common wisdom and we only trust the data when it seems to confirm our assumptions.

Also, ice cream is pretty different than milk.

That's not how this works

Compared to none. But the article doesn't really say that it is actually good for diabetes. It's an association.

Sorry, what is the "feedback hypothesis"? Also, despite my use of quotes, I'm not arguing about semantics.

HTML will ignore extra whitespace, but when you input stuff into a text box, the way it's displayed will depend on choices made by the site. I don't know whether there are standard choices, and I'd bet that they use very basic choices here, but it's just too bad.

Since when was "design and implement a practical self-improving AI architecture" on the same level as knowing "the requisite concepts for getting Transformers working"?
