This can be true of things like personality traits and beliefs too - useful in one situation but not another. Society still punishes people who don't conform or rewards those who do. I think society will accept, or even push for, some level of genetic discrimination. I believe there was a recent article on HN about fetal genetic defect testing being used to make abortion decisions. The question is where should the line be, as it seems to already exist.
IMO, 2 & 3 weren't that great. And it took years for me to re-watch the first one and remember how much I loved it as a self-contained film.

Eh. I feel like that diminishes why hurtful names fall out of favor. I also think while it's interesting slang, I wouldn't lose sleep if it was replaced. To your point, afaik it hasn't really been used as hurtful slang since the war.

I can't speak for the world, but in my experience descendants of Jews are fairly well-off and there's quite a few slang words people don't use anymore.
> is Idiocracy actually happening?

The way in which things are trending, an Idiocracy is unlikely because of an AGI singularity.

That even if we might all descend into idiots, we won't be running the world much before that happens.

To quote Douglas Adams - "There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
I carried one with a friend, and this functionality didn't help that much, we still had to take turns. Especially on a narrow towpath.

I think this can only be understood if you think in linear terms. I thought it was obvious by the second film that when Neo met the Architect, his five "predecessors" were actually in fact running in parallel with him, like threads to a singular process, hinted by all the televised instances of Neo while the two of them conversed on the topic of choices and consequences.

Stephen Jay Gould was actually fairly innumerate. It’s clear he didn’t understand even the rather simple math behind the PCA, which underpins IQ measurement. You might find this instructive:

“ Boiling brains down to one number and ranking them, and saying it comes from genes, nutty.”

Yeah, except that the number correlates with many things we care about in the real world (educational attainment even at the highest levels, crime), even after controlling for many other things we care about in the real world (conscientiousness, SEC).
> it also means the feature being worked on is becoming too big/too much in conflict to be kept alive separate for long

That's a really great point and something a colleague pointed out to me when I was musing about this.

Another coworker told me they like to do commits + occasional merges from upstream into their feature branch as normal, then when they have built up a lot of commits, use `git reset --soft master` and then git add/commit all changes as one commit, with a nice verbose commit message.

I really like that approach, if you have to do it.
Ok I get you and what I said really doesn’t apply to you. If you are going somewhere for months, you are way outside the tourist category. Someone coming for a month or a year is practically living there. And at that point you would want to associate with other people who live there, not tourists there for a weekend. Someone who has lived there all their life and is not very open to meeting new people may not been interested in engaging someone who will only be there for 6 months, but that seems like an entirety separate issue. After all, some people refuse to engage with anyone not born in their town and see even people who have been there for decades as outsiders.
IQ is supposed to be a measure of inherent intelligence. This study has studies going a mere 40 years back, an utterly insignificant evolutionary time. What they are measuring seems to be mostly changes in pseudoscience IQ tests.

admitting such beliefs to the authorities is certainly a sign of stupidity! Though maybe that's what the test is actually intended to measure. If I were running a large organization I'd want a way to identify 'low-neuroticism rule followers' more urgently than 'moral actors'.
> These are still roughly 10 times more expensive than they should be because of their memory architecture. I'd vote to drop the idea of busses to external memories and switch to local memories, then have the cores self-organize by using web metaphors like content-addressable memory (CAM) to handle caching. Basically get rid of all of the cache coherence hardware and treat each core-memory as its own computer. The hardware that wasn't scalable could go to hardware-accelerated hashing for the CAM.

If you want "many cores" and "get rid of cache-coherence hardware", its called a GPU.

Yes, a lot of those "cores" are SIMD-lanes, at least by NVidia / AMD naming conventions. But GPU SIMD-lanes have memory-fetching hardware that operates per-lane, so you approximate the effects of a many-many core computer.

Japanese companies are experimenting with more CPUs though. PEZY "villages" are all proper CPUs IIRC, but this architecture isn't very popular outside of Japan. In terms of the global market, your best bet is in fact a GPU.

The Fujitsu ARM supercomputer was also ARM-based + HBM2. But once again, that's a specific Japanese supercomputer and not very popular outside of Japan. It is available though.
why is it impossible that, when asked to cut the film's running time down, it was decided that the "six previous Ones" idea should be excised and expanded upon in the form of a "twist" (instead of "Morpheus thought he found The One six previous times," it's "the entire cycle of the machines freeing some humans, the humans establish/rediscover/rebuild Zion, eventually The One is found, he resets the cycle, and this has all happened six previous times") in the sequel? that sounds pretty reasonable to me—they wanted the same gist of "you're not the first The One, Neo, this has all happened before," but on a much grander scale.

it's still very interesting though that the original idea makes Cypher much more sympathetic, and the final cut makes Morpheus more sympathetic.
I disagree with that read of the evidence they list, to wit:

> In the introduction to a copy of the Final Shooting Script included in the book, editor Spencer Lamm notes that “everything” in the script was filmed but “changes occurred during editing.”[...]the part “where Cypher tells Neo there were five potential Ones before him was shot and then cut in postproduction for reasons only [Lana] and [Lilly] know.”

So the quotes here say they shot everything in the script, but then they made changes in the editing room for reasons only known to the writers of the trilogy. It could be for runtime! I don't think there's any definitive evidence it isn't, but clearly this account also supports them shooting something that they later realized would screw up their planned script.

I also wanna say that there is an ambiguity over if the five "ones" are actually Ones or just people Morpheus believed are ones. It wouldn't contradict the later plotline of Neo being the sixth One for Morpheus to mistakenly free five people who aren't Ones and get them killed - but it would be really confusing! Since the people in question are summarizing a deleted plot arc that the directors removed, I suspect they may be summarizing in a way that wasn't accurate to the understanding of those directors.

All of which is to say that the blog article is telling a very specific story about what seems like pretty ambiguous evidence. The script had reference to previous people pulled out as potential Ones having died to agents. It would be confusing to the audience for these to be five "fake" ones and then also have five previous real Ones, but it wouldn't be internally contradictory. The only way it directly contradicts is with a very narrow meaning which I don't think the blog post convinced me was intended. Beyond that - as I said above - since they never put it into the movie I think this could count as "being intended from the beginning" where the beginning is the release of the first movie.
Good mentors nudge and maybe push; they never shove.

The best mentor I ever had helped me orient myself when I had no idea what I wanted to do. My answers were always, "I'm not sure. As long as I'm actively developing, I'll likely be fine." This wasn't quite true. Working on feature sets that didn't make sense with the code's architecture only to be thrown out 3 months later was rough.

She was the one that encouraged me to work on skills during work hours. No employer is going to miss 1/40 hours when it's used for professional development that directly benefits them. She encouraged me to stick with learning new things when I was ready to phone it in. AWS certs aren't hard to pass, but I probably wouldn't have taken the test without her push. I would have never dipped my toe into management. I found that management wasn't for me, but it was a better experience than resting on my laurels for a year.

A good mentor is like a good friend checking in on you from time to time, but the relationship is professional. Everything pertains to your professional goals (or in support of) from a place of wanting the mentee to succeed.
In the modern world, is there any evolutionary selection for intelligence? I can think of at least a few which are against

Anecdotally, my wife is applying for surgical medical residencies, a field which generally attracts intelligent, ambitious individuals. The whole system seems downright hostile to having children. It obviously wasn't designed with women in mind, and the entire system has been intentionally ossified to prevent it from responding to the desires of residents, for the benefit of attending physicians. I imagine there are a large number of similar industries. This has definitely impacted our plans for children, and it wouldn't be an issue if she were considering a less competitive specialty. In fact, it seems that the very selectivity which ensures that the program is filled with intelligent people is used as justification for intense hours and lack of maternal support.

In my opinion this is the sort of externality that would benefit from government intervention in some way. However, I don't think financial support would be very good at targeting such cases. I think the reason that tech companies have done a better job of providing child care support is that the field doesn't have the same sorts of institutional barriers to responding to employee demands that medicine does - specifically demand by employees in their prime child-rearing ages.
"Just following orders" is a loaded expression. You're implying that they're committing genocide, when really all they're doing is helping some company make a product you don't think is particularly good. It's definitely not worth such harsh words.

Flash "low latency" was just RTMP. CDNs used to offer RTMP solutions, but they were always priced significantly higher than their corresponding HTTP solutions.

When the iPhone came out, HTTP video was the ONLY way to stream video to it. It was clear Flash would never be supported on the iPhone. Flash was also a security nightmare.

So in that environment, The options were:

1) Don't support video on iOS

2) Build a system that can deliver video to iOS, but keep the old RTMP infrastructure running too.

3) Build a system that can deliver video to iOS, Deprecate the old RTMP infrastructure. This option also has a byproduct of reduced bandwidth bills.

For a company, Option 3 is clearly the best choice.

edit: And for the record, latency was discussed a lot during that transition (maybe not very publicly). But between needing iOS support, and reducing bandwidth costs, latency was a problem that was decided to be solved later.
You’re right. Both about the problem still being present and NFT being not strictly necessary anyway.

I can’t help but think there must be a way to make it work.

I've had Wavians for a couple years. In our lake community, we get compliments about our gas cans. It's amazing how people respond when you build something well.
It's an infuriating experience indeed. I reached my breaking point a few months ago, and decided I was just done with googling recipes. After trying a few different highly regarded paid apps (recipe managers, NYT Cooking) and not finding quite what I was looking for, I caved and started compiling my own recipe database in Notion. My goal is to use this database exclusively for weekly meal planning, as well as for cooking up something on a whim. It's a habit change for sure, and required a bit of upfront work to seed the database, but so far, has proved to be successful. Overall, both meal planning and cooking itself have become more enjoyable!
Why on earth would this have a global impact? US education policy only directly affects 3/8 of a percent of the world population (less really, since this assumes away the existence of private and charter schools) and it also varies by state.

Also, according to the abstract, the US actually sustained positive gains longer than other OECD nations, except South Korea.
This exposes the weaknesses in our current system. From the article "Theranos provided data". Science is about reproducibility. Evidently the FDA isn't responsible for reproducing the science from companies and instead takes them at their word.

I think it shows that generally speaking our regulatory bodies need to evolve. They need a quality control program that periodically audits the information provided to them and conduct their own independent review/replication of the experiments. If reproducibility isn't possible then severely punish companies that are found to be misrepresenting their data.

Have you studied this kind of crime specifically, and looked at specific sentencing terms, eg. 5 vs. 10 vs. 15 years? I'm guessing no, and more than likely there's no data available for this.

My understanding is that even in cases where deterrents are known to work poorly, there's still some effect. For example, with drug addicts, there are diminishing returns in as little as a couple days, but I think there was still SOME effect.

It just winds up being mostly pointless, because a weekend sentence works pretty much the same as eg. months to years or more. You should be careful about extrapolating from behavioral studies, and other crimes.

It's not just about deterrent IMO. I also care about justice, fairness, and making it not worth it to commit white collar crimes. If the sentence is not substantial, you've basically gotten away with it to me.

It's worth 1-5 years in prison to spend 5-10 years in luxury, being told how amazing you are. Maybe not for me, but it certainly is for a lot of people. A ton of white collar criminals end up better off for their crimes, if you're not harsh enough.
I don't buy the "it's too dangerous because of high voltage" argument. Ice cars have literally a bomb chamber within along with an assortment of fans and belts and hot liquids that will burn and maim you if you don't know what you're doing. But regular users have survived for a century with cars.
The L in "falcon" in the spelling pronunciation is a "dark" L, which is a pretty different sound from the "light" L, but it's still there. In most accents of English L regularly manifests with the "dark" sound before a consonant or at the end of a word, and with the "light" sound elsewhere.

Both L sounds involve raising the tongue, but with the light L the tip of tongue approaches the alveolar ridge (the part of your gum just behind your top row of teeth), while with the dark L the tip of the tongue does the same thing, but the back of the tongue simultaneously rises towards the soft palate (this is called "velarization", and it's the same gesture that accompanies lip-rounding to form a W sound). There may be further differences depending on accent, e.g. in Cockney accents the tongue-tip gesture of dark L is lost completely so that dark L becomes a fully-fledged vowel, and it might even acquire lip-rounding and merge with W. Other accents have lost the distinction as well and generalized either light L or dark L to all positions (e.g. Scottish English tends to use dark L everywhere).

In the older pronunciation of "falcon", there's no L there at all, light or dark. It was borrowed from Old French "faucon", and the L was restored in spelling via Latin influence in more or less exactly the same way as the B in "debt".

The article tries to discredit IQ hard without saying things that are outright false, but for that reason had to admit IQ's reliability and validity.

> Correlation is 80% between test and retest, meaning you being you explains less than 64% of your test results.

As if that's bad? 80% is a very good reliability.

> If you renamed IQ, from "Intelligent Quotient" to FQ "Functionary Quotient" or SQ "Salaryperson Quotient", then some of the stuff will be true. It measures best the ability to be a good slave confined to linear tasks. "IQ" is good for @davidgraeber's "BS jobs".

I get it, you have negative valence towards IQ. Still, even if IQ measures "the ability to be a good slave" (it doesn't, but let's assume it does), that's an outcome we care about, proving IQ's validity. It dismisses IQ's correlation with academic success as "just another test", but no, it doesn't work that way. IQ also correlates with research success and research is not test.
Just because something can be measured does not imply that metric accurately depicts reality. Moreover, all metrics should be criticized as to what part of reality they are depicting and what part of reality they are obscuring. I've yet to be convinced that IQ is anywhere near an accurate depiction of reality.
It is obvious to the "_most_ casual observer"... you need to get quite a bit more casual!
> Although I don’t think that the Marvel IP would have been as valuable in Netflix’s hands. Compare all of the early Marvel shows on Netflix compared to what Disney has done with the MCU.

I'm not sure what you're comparing. Netflix's Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Luke Cage were standouts. WandaVision and Loki are certainly flashier, but are they really better shows?
Does it not provide the mobile-like environment that apps expect?

IQ is like MHz in computers in many ways, whilst an important factor, it's the software that makes the difference.
I switched to Linux full time before Compiz took off and did so for exactly the reasons you cited the other platforms were superior: Linux was more stable, easier to reason with (as it was doing less magic behind the scenes), components worked better with each other since POSIX is designed for interoperability.

Driver support was patchy at times, but then it wasn’t exactly easy on OSX (Apple: “if we don’t support you then you’re shit out of luck”) nor Windows (Microsoft: “we support everything. Albeit you’d have to manually find those drivers yourself so if your system doesn’t boot or network access fails then you’re shit out of luck”) either. At least Linux shipped 99% of what you needed on the install CD.

For that reason, I’d almost always switch to Linux if ever I needed to debug a hardware problem in Windows or OSX. Though that’s less of an issue these days because I haven’t run Windows in ~15yrs and if you have a hardware problem on a modern MBP then you’re shit out of luck so there’s little point trying to debug it yourself.
