if you go back to the original goal of IQ tests, it was the measurement of learning progress and it's log tied to age of those under test.
You do realize the US is a MAJOR outlier, right?
The site UX on mobile is awful - so it’s very consistent with the real thing :)
Focus on doing what is needed so that you have margin to do what is right.

I.e. use a comprehensive view that embraces the two poles organically.
There are many different types of IQ tests, with different types of questions. Some just use shapes/patterns.
> Blaming “Toryism” is pretty odd. You think the economic problems affecting the UK started in the last decade?

New Labour was a short interlude. No, the problems did not start this decade. You can see the roots in the 1980s, when London was more or less set up as Europe’s financial district at the expense of the rest of the country. Of course, some roots run even deeper, like the Empire thing and the whole class structure.

> To me this seems to be the product of Blair-era Labour, which gutted the country by shipping jobs and industrial capacity to Eastern Europe and China.

They did not help, true (and the Iraq war was much worse in terms of consequences, it killed any alternative to the conservatives for a decade and amplified the divisions without the Labour Party). But it’s disingenuous to blame them for the country’s de-industrialisation.

> Populist nationalism is rising throughout the western world. It’s a reaction to the failings of globalist liberalism, not the cause of those problems.

Populist nationalism is really not a new thing, it’s a tool that is used quite regularly. What’s almost unique to the UK and the US is how it corrupted a mainstream party, thus creeping into the heart of government. True, it’s worse in Hungary and Poland (and Russia), but that’s not setting the bar very high.
As someone else mentioned, this was the government floating the idea to see how it went down. This has been their MO for some time.
This video also came up in my YouTube recommendations. I'd like to see more Linux tablets available. If Framework would make one, I think that would be ideal. I desire one that could integrate well with SXMO, as well as have open-source design docs/specs so I could CAD a custom keyboard interface/mount for it.
>He hasn't shown ideological consistency on any issue, and that includes free speech.

Matches Trump pretty perfectly in that way, though.
I don't think your statement is disagreeing with his? Your school system elevated the students to the system's IQ upper bound. A different school system or style of education would have a different upper bound.
> ^^ same one-liner but works for anyone on the Internet

Oh my God, a one-liner that pipes curl to sh, downloads and executes a package from npm, and spins up a web server serving whichever directory you were unlucky enough to be in, all without a single confirmation prompt or authenticity check. And it’s blockchain!
Aren't IQ tests supposed to be made culturally/language independent tho ? What would be "cultural" thing on IQ test ? The ones I saw never really had anything aside base-10 numbers. Do you have any examples ?
Not concise, but the manual of the COHERENT Unix clone, developed by Mark Williams Company between the 1980s and the early 1990s, is what made me grok Unix: http://www.nesssoftware.com/home/mwc/manual.php
I present algorithm whereby each byte is iterated from 0 to 255, following recursively for next byte for each previously yielded result. From above nonsensical results are removed.

Above algorithm generalizes all human knowledge ever conceived, in any format, as well as any future (duplicated!) ideas that may be conceived.

I donate above algorithm and all its results to public domain.

You're welcome.
Write one! Forths are so simple that you can write one in minutes if you understand it, and a bit more if you don't know anything about it. Having your own forth is both really gratifying, and gives you an opportunity to play around with the internals and change things up to see what happens (and why the choices made were made).

Forth is one of the languages where you have to know the internals to write it, but the internals are really simple.

I feel bad for people who voted against Brexit. Now they have nowhere to go, even if they do want to leave.
By destroying the pipeline the US ensures that their “allies” (some may call them vassals) will toe the line. After all, those who were dependent on Russia are now dependent on the US.

I really miss user-run servers. Back in the Quake 3 days I had a couple favorite servers and there were always the same couple groups of people around, known characters. You don’t get that sense of camaraderie from random matching.

This is somewhat Quake 3 specific but I also really miss user generated maps that would just automatically download. Played some really interesting maps back in the day.
I’m surprised by that. Pretty much the only thing I use Siri for is voice control of music in the car, and it nails it most times. I’d say there is a transcription error maybe 10% if the time, or less.
If you can explain what's bad about it and how you've improved since, you never have anything to worry about.
I never claimed any of that stuff you said I did. Are you continuing some other conversation you had elsewhere where the person said something more extreme than what I did without realizing it?
Regardless of whether one agrees with it or not, the point is to include trans men, because they think that they're better described as men. If trans women were to get pregnant by some not yet existing medical procedure, why would they complain about being called women?
I wonder where you got that. Did I miss something??

> “The only countries that flourished and had tremendous economic growth, are those who had a period of more personal freedom and an almost non-existent government.”

Post-WWII USA was both a period of big government and tremendous economic growth.

The government is just people deciding to come together and delegate power. It’s not something separate from people. Why can’t the “human spirit moving things forward” express itself through the public sector?
If I want to porting it to x86_64, except the register width, what else do I mainly need to take care of? Thanks!
No, because sex is ultimately about the type of gamete you produce, sperm or egg, and there are only the two.

People with DSDs still fill the same role in reproduction. A male person with ambiguous external genitalia who appears female to a quick exam could still father a child for instance.
But IQ wasn't invented to predict "life outcome", it was invented to find kid's academic potential.

I'm still waiting for somebody to show me a prolific Math Phd with below average IQ. The only counter example I've heard people use it Feynman whose IQ was "only" 125 putting him smarter than "only" 95% of the population.

It rubs me the wrong way when Hawkins says stuff like "IQ is for losers" but then boasts how his physics undergrad degree was so easy for him he was just bored out of his mind (it sure wasn't easy for me). It's the intelligence equivalent of a billionaire saying you just need to work hard to get there, as if that was ever gonna make a difference if you're an Amazon factory worker.

Bertrand Russell predicted social media shaming in 1930
I recently ready Conquest of Happiness (incredible book) and I'm copying up my highlights. I found this section exceptionally prescient and thought it might be of interest to HN readers.

> When the newspaper chooses to make a scapegoat of some perhaps quite harmless person, the results may be very terrible. Fortunately, as yet this is a fate which most people escape through their obscurity; but as publicity gets more and more perfect in its methods, there will be an increasing danger in this novel form of social persecution. This is too grave a matter to be treated with disdain by the individual who is its victim, and whatever may be thought of the great principle of the freedom of the press, I think the line will have to be drawn more sharply than it is by the existing libel laws, and anything will have to be forbidden that makes life intolerable for innocent individuals, even if they should happen to have done or said things which, published maliciously, can cause them to become unpopular. The only ultimate cure for this evil is, however, an increase of toleration on the part of the public. The best way to increase toleration is to multiply the number of individuals who enjoy real happiness and do not therefore find their chief pleasure in the infliction of pain upon their fellow men.

Alas, it is. It's severely pseudoscientific.

None have PhDs in statistics. They're all people who got into psychology and were given GUIs by the maths department. Their papers are a symptom of what happens when you press the "ANONVA" button and print the results.

The entire field is an egregious testament to pseudo-intellectual pseudoscience.
It's shocking.

There's nothing there. It's unfathomably bad.
In general I absolutely agree with you, I also never understood this either, and have chalked it up to being an "American-ism" (meaning: it's not something that people do in my part of the world (=Europe)). But I still prefer to switch to a "normal messenger" when on tinder (e.g. WhatsApp is what most people in my area use) quickly. Mostly it's just part of playing the dating game: you don't use Tinder to talk to your friends or other people, so moving off that platform is a natural "next level". It also helps when meeting up (I can share my current location so it's easier to find me in a public place once we actually meet up). But in general I don't see this as an important step of dating.
Automatic transmission still have much higher fuel consumption, and much less responsible on non-expensive machines, this why Europe use it so much.
I actually found out I rely on lip reading during the pandemic when everyone was wearing masks and I couldn't understand about 2/3 people I was engaging with.
Here is how I have come to think of this:

Understanding progress vs activity, and 3 types of effort.

Rock metaphor: The goal is to deliver a big, shiny rock to the top of the mountain. You can (1) move the rock, (2) polish the rock, and (3) other distractions.

* Push the rock up the hill. You have to keep pushing until you get to the next flat land. If you stop whenever you’re interrupted, the rock will roll back down to the bottom of the hill. Requires a chunk of undistracted time (Cal Newport Deep Work, etc).

* Polish the rock. You can engage in this type of effort well, even with frequent interruption. Polish for 10 minutes, answer a phone call, polish another area, go to lunch, polish more, repeat until finished.

* Other stuff. Sometimes required maintenance (paying bills, paperwork, etc), but often unhelpful distraction.

Getting more tactical:

* Bucket selection - pick the right buckets, and right number of buckets (not too many, you can only move a few rocks each day)

* Move rocks in each bucket consistently (no starved buckets)

Summarized: Move rocks, in a few areas, that are important to you (not to other people)

To illustrate, my buckets are: day job, freelance work, trading, family, and health. Every time I’ve been “off” in life, one of those buckets has been starved (workaholic, neglect family), or I’ve had too many buckets, or one bucket explodes (family health crisis, newborn child, etc), or efforts become distracted and while much activity happens, no rocks move.

Most of this I derived from The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker, originally published in 1966 (so nothing new since 2015).
Not ironic. That's how the game's rules are defined. That's how they're going to play. Else they're going to disadvantage themselves more?

Saying a system has faults and can he improved doesn't mean you are excluded from that system.
I don't doubt that the author if tea is well-meaning, I think the issue is how it's going to get used, which is what the other poster was referring to.
I don't think the "I use Rust btw" comments contribute much to the discussion.

> A broken clock is right twice a day and all that.

I don't think I've heard this proverb used to justify vague predictions before. It's always been the (proper) meaning of "you were right, but only by accident".

It's interesting to see it used in a "I know we've been saying that for eight years, but we'll be right at SOME point!" way.
That doesn't make sense. Why there wouldn't be any dumb people that don't believe in IQ tests ?

Not believing in IQ tests (or really in any particular one thing) doesn't make someone intelligent.
Mail for example. But there are quite a few French troops still protecting French interests in their various former colonies in Africa - a place where statehood is a nebulous concept so I think it’s fair to say that many of these places still act in effect as protectorates. Add in resource extraction and it also starts to look like a colony again.

It seems likely that this recent invasion wouldn't have happened had severe sanctions been levied after Crimea was invaded. Or if Ukraine had been admitted to NATO. There were probably other more diplomatic avenues available. But it's hardly my area of expertise.

Not every border has to be a hard border. The Scottish border would not necessarily have to change at first because an independent Scotland would not be automatically part of the EU or even the Schengen area. If Scotland wants to join and the status of Great Britain is still not clear by then, then that's another border issue to resolve.

The situation with Northern Ireland is different because Ireland is part of the EU, and no one wants Northern Ireland mainly as a smuggling route between the EU and Great Britain. It has crossed my mind that some folks must have thought about smuggling/regulatory arbitrage as some sort of Brexit dividend for the UK as a whole, but so far this doesn't seem to be happening.
Nonsense.

Yeah even the people I do have stuff in common with just fizzles out. I’m convinced many interactions would have ended differently if we had met in an irl environment, it’s much easier to get a feel for someone and to feel connected to them irl vs in a pure text style chat. I’m a bad tenet anyway and will ignore messages if I don’t have an immediate response at the moment. Only problem with irl is that the demographics are weird.

I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback.

Fine, but that market is going to be less and less relevant outside of sworn car centric places.

Most major cities outside of the US have been moving towards walkable/bikeable designs, and cars just don’t fit well (delivery and maintenance cars being the exception). I wouldn’t expect a ton of innovation on a segment that officials are openly fighting to reduce.

> What colonies are you referring too? The last one was Djibouti in 77...

Monetary exploitation is the most effective means of bondage and most widely accepted form to exert control over a population because it is required for any transaction that doesn't get solely resolved by violence, in doing so you can essentially tax, govern, and structure Society without the need or expense of an occupying presence just the occasional military operation to remind them of said colonization: up until 2020 or so the CFA was used in 8 African nations and had a dire strain on those nation's people [0]. You should listen to Francis Ngannou's talk about the effective bondage African nations were operating under French rule because of the CFA that made trade between even neighboring African nations impossible.

Colonialism takes on many faces, but as the saying goes: He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation.

> go and have a read about the CFA franc

Agreed, also look into why France has had continual conflicts in the Ivory Coast to see how it achieved this.

Edit:

> Aren't states free to adopt or drop the CFA franc? How does that make them colonies?

They were not free to do so, at all; as I said in a response HN won't let me post (posting too fast prompt) it would benefit most on HN to focus on why Fintech matters, it's more than just writing lines of code aimlessly and for it's own sake to create some new toy that can and will be soon forgotten on Github. Despite the prevailing narrative, it's not just the domain of what many regard as 'techbros,' but rather it's an approach to effect and enhance Society when done right in a more nuanced manner coming from a well informed understanding of how and why Society functions they way it does.

Hence why I used the quote that I used by a former US president to underscore what was written in a concise manner.
