If IQ didn't matter above 95 then we would expect most STEM professionals to have about 100 IQ since that is the biggest bump on the curve, but that is very far from the case.

The test probably breaks down at some level since it is hard to test higher intelligence, but it seems to me like it is still valid below about 120 IQ.

I think this is from FT Alphaville or at least affiliated (though the authors are professors so I am a bit surprised still). Alphaville seems to be an attempt to keep the FT relevant for a younger generation based on what I read during the SBF debacle. It's more in line with the tone of a Substack/newsletter post, which I think makes sense given the influence of similar approaches to financial reporting like Matt Levine.
My assumption is that the code is not separate from other deepmind code. It would be very difficult for them to share the AlphaZero code without also sharing everything else deepmind is working on.

The representations are probably not manifest in a way that would be intelligible if shared.

I don't have an explanation for why they wouldn't share the weights.

Interesting take for a publication like FT. The Economist, another “reputable”, traditional outlet synonymous with traditional finance, has a more balanced and optimistic take, if anyone cares to read it.

Not sure what bearing that has on my argument but probably not many, other than its developer (who collects fees). There's a governance token but even if you bought at the bottom and sold at the very top it was only a 13X gain (and if you held until now, a 2X gain overall). It's just a simple system that does its job with extreme reliability.

Lots more people have made some money on Uniswap, either by trading well, or by providing liquidity and collecting a portion of fees.
Diagnosing Modern Medicine
Having worked in related industries, I've always referred to this as the "dopamine / reward loop" (I think this is fairly well accepted?). Some people are predisposed to hardcore exploitation (e.g. gambling addicts), but from what I understand, and generally speaking, we're all capable of falling victim to some degree (we're all susceptible to some level of superfluous dopamine response). Not helping, industry shaping our society to modulate where the average falls on this spectrum. A normal child having a cellphone is very similar to a normal child taking amphetamines, both yielding unnatural amounts of dopamine. Both can very well cause ADD-like symptoms after being taken away. There's also a parallel here to sugar and Type 2 diabetes, and other disorders.

I think there may be a balance, but whatever is happening today is totally exploitative and should be regulated in some way, at least up until a certain age.
> Neurodivergent people just tend to ignore those social constructs, makes me wonder if we as neurotypical people play all these social games and a neurodivergent person just looks at all that as window dressing that isn't required.

I can only speak for my own view, which is that I find making eye contact uncomfortable, and I find that when I do make eye contact it seems like I must be “doing it wrong” because it seems to make others uncomfortable too. Granted I may be reading others’ reactions wrong, the possibility of which contributes to my own discomfort!
It's a fair hypothesis, just wondering if there was research analyzing it.

Carriers as weapons really are technology for the previous century's war.

Carriers as mobile military bases are still very useful for projecting power.
I disagree. We do care. We just think some things are savable, and some not. That's why there's pressure on Iran now, and Russia now. That's why the west bitches and moans about the US doing immoral shit. Not because it's the worst, but because we think there's a chance they might care. Unlike Saudi Arabia, which we pretty much write off as total monsters.

Agree as I can relate. Not listening to what you want for years results in having no inner voice. You can work towards practicing learning to listen for it but it takes commitment and some time. My psychologist told me you start with the smallest things like what would you like for lunch etc and then over time you learn to hear your voice loud and clear for things small and big. you certainly risk displeasing other people which can be extremely be hard/difficult given you were raised to think of others before you. This is especially true if you are from the east where the culture values collective good before individual good (generally speaking). The west has a generally opposite value where individuality comes first and foremost. Swinging to either ways on extreme is not good and certainly a recipie for a miserable life. I think one needs to stike a balance between utter selfishness and no individuality. And there in lies the power of values. If you have a set of values that are not universal destructive and are more constructive it can act as a North Star that guides one in making balanced choices in life

I certainly don't always agree with the "BBC editorial line" - it has moved the needle against a few things that I've supported. However it is farcical to compare it to Pravda or even FOX, and I think you're showing how little exposure you've had to the BBC by doing so.

Yes the thing which China does well is regulated capitalism, they permit capitalism, they allow billionaires and so on, but only if it's in the interest of the state, which still reigns supreme. In the US and the West, the corporations give orders to the governments.

You are probably right. Still, it's not just negotiating and signing a burdensome deal for Musk, but going as far as SUING him into honoring it, that makes their intent obvious (purely monetary reward, no regard for the employees nor the product, nor societal impact). They knew exactly what it meant for Twitter but went for it anyway just to get a payout.

Again, this was their fiduciary duty to do so but then not holding them accountable for selling out is ridiculous.

EDIT: I mean morally accountable.

To me, one thing that we should consider is that the F-35 was developed at a time when it wasn't really clear what the purpose and enemy is going to be - but the US couldn't afford to wait until that becomes clear.

Prior to F-35, it was fairly simple: Warsaw Pact and proxy wars. But for the JSF, its beginnings are around/just after the end of the Cold War. It was maybe not quite aimed at Russia (but who knows). Then the Afghanistan and Iraq wars come around, plus air interventions in Libya and Syria, which were quite unique in how uncontested the US air power was.

Re-rise of Russian aggression in NATO sphere of interest and the rise of China are really last 10 years or so.

I'm sure my view is naive, and people who do this for a living had a clearer vision of what the F-35 had to contend with, but it's not easy to design a weapon that's effective against everything that's also kind of unknown.

For example, it now appears like Russian military hardware is much worse than advertised and the real adversary in terms of technological sophistication is China. But how clear was it throughout this programme? Maybe some other design would have been more cost-effective against China in particular.

Similarly, it may yet turn out that the design assumption are right. Recent war in Ukraine changed a lot of assumptions, for example about anti air defences. These had become kind of obsolete in NATOs views and largely dismantled without replacement, under the assumption that fighter jets will be better suited to that. Now, it seems, all NATO members are buying whatever is available in that space.
These aircrafts are going to be flying for 30 years, continuing to add to emissions. We have a lot of passenger planes from the 1980s.

Producing as many as we possibly can right now is a step in the wrong direction.
You’re absolutely free to do use whatever language you want, but your expectation that I do the same, implicit or otherwise, is where I draw the line.

I get it. You’re super hip.

But words are indeed meaningful and you don’t get to choose how I use them or what they mean to me. I have a wife, not a “partner”. She is a woman, not a “birthing person”.

Make up whatever new words of definitions you wish. Hell, create a new language if you want. But stop trying to make everyone else conform to your vocabulary that primarily exists to virtue signal and for attention seeking.
If there is one thing that I took from my marketing classes, it is that marketing basically starts with trying to understand people as they actually are. You cannot sell stuff well if you do not understand how people work. For example, as annoyed as I was to discover it, it is genuinely hard to argue with Patzer's looks[1] and how perception can alter my disposition towards buying something.

I genuinely hate the ads-tech, ad-ridden web, and ads in general, but I cannot help but to admire it for starting from a very simple 'this is how things really are'.

It's very on-brand for Buffett if you follow his stuff. He's always kinda hawking the stuff he owns. You'll see the can of Coke on the table at the annual meeting, you'll see him eating See's Candies, he'll talk about the brands he owns, etc.

It's not pushy or overly sales-like, but he is into a lot of the stuff he owns. The message about GEICO is really frank: different insurance carriers vary in their underwriting judgments, but he estimates that GEICO will offer the lowest rate for 40% of people which is more often than any carrier. Go to the website and see if you can save money.

For some of the businesses, it can be a bit personal. He bought Nebraska Furniture Mart over a handshake from someone he'd known for a long time.

It is a little weird, but it's certainly on-brand for him.

> The simplest thing would be to extend the "accredited investor" standard, such that anybody who wants to play the digital ponies either needs to be rich enough to afford the losses or prove sufficient sophistication that they really know what they're doing.

I think this is already more or less the case. The SEC recently updated the accredited investor standard to include not just means testing, but alternate sophistication tests like Series 7/63/etc, CFA iirc. I’m not sure how/if they fully enforce it or not, but they do to at least some extent, which is why FTX, Binance and others run two versions of their services, a US-based one and an international one.
It's certainly not meant as an insult to Ukrainians, but it is a fact (see sources listed below).

This is a huge problem for many psychology studies more broadly. Undergrads are a ready and plentiful source of test subjects for research professors, but they come with a huge bag of self-selected characteristics that may not extrapolate to the broader population at all.

> Good luck to native workers in the UK competing with an Indian on a work visa that has no working time regulations, holiday allowance, etc.

There's an important point to highlight here: low paid workers from India working long hours with no holiday will not actually be able to compete with either highly skilled Indian workers who can already get visas, or highly skilled native workers or workers from other developed countries, even if they demand holiday, high pay, etc.

Indeed, this migration report [1] suggests that immigration decreases wages for low paid workers, but increases wages for medium and high paid workers.

Immigration doesn't just boost labour supply, it boosts demand too, but not always in the same jobs, so the effects on wages can be uneven.

If it were that simple to replace highly paid workers, we'd have all already been offshored, but that never seems to materialise.

Note that the WSJ seems to entirely ignore local tax revenue. Any reasonable analysis of a state budget would automatically include both state and local finances since they are so intimately intertwined. Hence the WSJ claim of how dependent california is on high-value income tax: they can make that claim because they ignore other taxes

> Nothing has been decided in a court of law so saying that it's "illegal" is disingenuous.

There are plenty of examples by now of big chunks of code lifted verbatim but without attribution. Pretty clear cut stuff.

> Even if it's remarkably similar to another function from a completely different code base but some of the symbols or variable names or function name has been changed, I would argue that it still falls under fair use, and is sufficiently transformative.

That's BS on many levels. Changing variable names doesn't make copyright go away. It's just trying to hide your violation of it.

I am pretty vocally against copyright, but let's not kid ourselves about the morality of this. No attribution is immoral.

It won't happen. Finance evolved out of the laws of economics and the rules of capitalism. Those are completely orthogonal to the aims of crypto. So long as some people need loans and some people have excess capital to invest, all the exact same patterns will emerge every time. Crypto will just have no safety net, no disclosure or liquidity requirements, no anti-discrimination rules. It's only benefit is privacy and that massively favors the corrupt over the honest.

It's both: the UK printed money on a vast scale and then gave it directly to people via cash transfers, whilst simultaneously shutting down things it might have got spent on. It was being handed out so easily that they estimate £17 billion were lost to fraud alone. Spending on furlough was approx £70bn, and the population of the UK is only officially 67.3 million so that was basically cash handouts of ~£1000 to every single man woman and child in the country.

As a consequence, savings broke records over the pandemic period [1]. Now restrictions are gone that money is flooding into the economy as everyone tries to buy things. Simultaneously supply chains are still recovering and energy/gas supplies are limited, this is true. Nonetheless, you can't print thousands of pounds per person and not expect that to create large price increases.

Couple of issues:

1) It seems that some movies are placed first in the Photos screen, no correct thumbnails are generated for these. I'm unable to play the vide of these movies (.mov files). This means that when opening the Photos app I'm met with a wall of thumbnail placeholders.

2) It seems that for the photos the thumbnails aren't being pre-generated. There is a wait time until the thumbnails are generated. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/config...

3) Random error loading of the photos - some photos just don't open and display the placeholder thumbnail.

4) Linked to 1) - some videos appear between photos so I'm getting a mix of photos thumbnails and placeholder thumbnails.

5) As I scroll down the thumbnails are generated so there is a noticeable lag between scrolling and photos appearing. iCloud can generate thumbnails almost as quickly as I'm scrolling so the difference is noticeable.

6) Lack of any AI integrated into the product (face matching etc.)
