Absolutely not what Murray said in the bell curve. It's not a very hard book to attack, so I'm not sure why people always go for strawmen. Please post anything from the book that comes anywhere close to saying IQ is 100% genetic.

I can't help but feel that this reinforces the parent comment's point. As long as the only thing we have to do is push a button, the reality behind the food we're about to eat is shielded from us.

Despite knowing this, we continue to behave in ways that run counter to a rational examination of the realities behind pushing that button.

And we default to focusing on factors like the visceral nature of the experience instead of the implications of the choice.

This is a pretty common default in our current culture, and so the bizarre-ness to me is more about our instincts to continue making the bad choice just because it's easier right now and we won't have to pay for the long term repercussions personally.

It's bizarre upon closer examination because it's a self-harming behavior that we collectively engage in, even if it can be explained mechanically in terms of evolutionary reward systems that are in need of an upgrade.

None of this is to excuse modern forms of hunting for sport, but we are predators, and only our continued evolution of consciousness/culture will move us beyond that. That predatory behavior continues to exist is not surprising, nor is our tendency to overuse food delivery services.
There's not even close to enough CO2 in the atmosphere to have that profound of an effect on our IQ. If it was then our own breath would give us all brain damage and our species would have gone extinct millions of years ago. Pollution and poor air circulation indoors is one thing, but the ambient CO2 in the atmosphere outdoors is another.
As I don't use edgelord mode I'm guessing I don't have to worry about it.
This is definitely worth getting salty about when you consider the cumulative electricity wasted for something so trivial. Google should be strictly monitoring performance and CPU consumption of their changes on youtube since a screwup there is the climate change equivalent of paying for 747s to fly in circles.
This is a bad comparison, gaming presumably brings utility to someone whereas this was a pure bug with no upside.
I use Mochi with all settings out of the box. Mochi doesn't even implement the SM-2 algorithm, it just applies a multiplier to the review interval on getting it right/forgetting.
The immediate mode UI library (ZUI) that the developer created, and which ArmorPaint is built on, is also really good. I don’t think Kha or ZUI get enough recognition, and I find both of them extremely elegant and pleasant to use. It might also be surprising to know that besides a few files for specifying constants and enums, ZUI is a single file library with only around 2100 lines of code.

Thanks! Fixed this.
Who gets to decide this for Tibet, you and me? Chinese leaders?
Those aren't really major version numbers. Those are release numbers. Chrome and Firefox are not using semantic versioning anymore.
Not really. Supporting standard 3D API on that hardware wouldn't be that hard. They don't have that much different hardware that supporting a driver for it would be that difficult.

> Give up their App Store revenue

They are not giving up anything they currently earn, they would be adding sales of hardware and games.

They could make a deal with Steam or make their own steam and make it easy for Games to port their games to it. They could likely find some way to monetize this.
The Pinecil was the first iron I really used extensively and I think it's fine for a beginner. Plug it in, press plus, it heats up. Press plus more if you want to set it hotter, minus to go back down after pressing plus. It can use any USB-C PD power supply, so many will have one from a phone or laptop, you can even run it off a power bank if you want. The default tip is very good and my most-used of all the tips (built a whole keyboard kit using it as my first project), even after getting more. If you set the iron on its side on a flat surface, the tip does not touch the table. This can be used in a pinch, but also Pine64 sells little sponge holders with the positionable metal bar to rest on, or if you get your own brass sponge it should have the same.
Does FFT not suggest an implicit kind of quantization to the dimension of the time space model? It's something that I have not understood about S4, Hippo, Hyena and other FFT-trick models.
The most disappointing problem with asp.net for me was, that there is no backchannel logout. So you can’t easily force-logout users from oidc/keycloak.

Everything else was going pretty smooth, although the authentication documentation for asp.net really sucks.
> SA, famous for installing the Big Battery, is leading the charge with retail prices at ~35c/kWh

Yes, SA's electricity prices are high. But they've always had the highest price in Australia because they have no coal or gas. What's pertinent here is SA's electricity prices are dropping, whereas in every other state electricity prices are going up.

Prices going up is sort of inevitable when you are replacing your generation. We are currently coasting along on 30 year of paid for coal plants that are reaching EOL. Someone has to pay for whatever replaces them. The mechanism was always going to be the old plants drop off, the price then goes up, then it becomes attractive for new generation to enter the market.

The frightening bit is it took SA about 17 years to go from 1% renewable to their current 80%, and only now are prices starting to drop. The rest of Australia has to go through the same transition, in less time.
But they do have ed, vi (plus ex), and mg (which is not standard but nice to have) in their base system.
I haven't read it either, but even just a quick look at Wikipedia shows the other responders don't know what they're talking about:

> According to Herrnstein and Murray, the high heritability of IQ within races does not necessarily mean that the cause of differences between races is genetic. On the other hand, they discuss lines of evidence that have been used to support the thesis that the black-white gap is at least partly genetic, such as Spearman's hypothesis. They also discuss possible environmental explanations of the gap, such as the observed generational increases in IQ, for which they coin the term Flynn effect. At the close of this discussion, they write:

> > If the reader is now convinced that either the genetic or environmental explanation has won out to the exclusion of the other, we have not done a sufficiently good job of presenting one side or the other. It seems highly likely to us that both genes and environment have something to do with racial differences. What might the mix be? We are resolutely agnostic on that issue; as far as we can determine, the evidence does not yet justify an estimate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve#Part_III._The_N...

The part I find especially amusing is how often the Flynn effect is used to refute The Bell Curve, even though the term "Flynn effect" comes from The Bell Curve.

How many cars are operating 12 hours a day?

With self driving cars, it will be like a NYC taxi, the goal is 24 hour operations.
> The only noticable differences between the two locations is racial makeup of the community.

> So if two areas are equally nice to live in but one is cheaper to live in than the other then why are people electing to live in a more expensive area over the cheaper one? Assuming everything else is equal.

I strongly doubt that "housing is considerably lower" while having no "noticable differences" besides race. Name the communities, so one can research the actual differences, otherwise this is imaginary. I hope you can't mean Cleveland.
You can check continuity across the contact points, but measuring a 75mA current via the voltage drop across a 0.0034ohm resistance (give or take) means reading 0.2mV, which is… borderline for a consumer multimeter.
Hi,

Given that SRS is a long-term endeavour, going on several years, I'd balk at paying $49/month for your app. Maybe $60/year, but your current pricing is really hard to swallow.
On the other hand, we will see a sharp decline in human-driven cars on the streets. Who would do it themself anyway? At every moment we will have on the streets exactly the number of cars to serve current demand. They will not clog curb parking places - there's no point for driverless car just to stay there for nothing. They will not roam free - there's no point for that too. They will stay in the cheapest, ergo most inaccessible for humans places waiting for orders.

You're meant to move as fast as possible and as long as your salary doesn't excessively drain the budget, it should be on the higher end of what is the payscale of the company. If you as the person with the most duties in the company can't afford a _comfortable_ life (and I take it for granted that pre-incorporation/raise that was anyway the case), you're probably working under your usual efficiency. If any investor says otherwise, just don't take that money. It makes no sense.
I've started working on my own code specific flashcard program. The algorithm, app, and cards are one part of the app, and the other part of the app -- the actual cards -- is whatever application you want.

Basically, I wanted a flashcard app mashed together with repl.it. At first I thought I'd just have the python interpreter built in, but I slowly realized that correctly implemented flashcard is a programming template and a correct answer, and that your choice of interpreter should produce the correct answer given your input.

---

So now I've come to the general formulation of the app:

Question -> Some application specific file. For Python it might be the boilerplate into which you insert a nested list comprehension. For C# it could be a whole project boilerplate into which you insert your LINQ statement.

Answer -> The expected output when your program is done executing. Probably on STDIO? Maybe something else. There are lots of IO options in an Linux OS.

Card -> Question, Answer, Executable (we could probably infer this from the "question" card)

---

Everything after this would be pretty much like Anki as it is now. You could have a script that listens to you play a song and then scores your performance. You could take touch/writing input and score penmanship. And so on.

The possibilities here are limited by your imagination.

Unfortunately, I got derailed trying to sort out the review algorithm. If anyone has any ideas on this front, I'm all ears. I know Anki's algorithm punishes skipping review days, and I'm one who skips review days frequently. Which leads to me quitting altogether because the review load becomes boring and unbearable.
It depends, after a big burst of adding flashcards I'll have a big hump to get through for like 2 or 3 weeks. That might be hundreds of flashcards a day, that can take 15-20 minutes.

Right now I haven't added many cards in a while so it's more like 30-50 cards a day. Usually not even 5 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend doing hundreds of cards a day, especially if you're just getting into it. I'm just nuts.

That’s exactly what needs to be done. It is also in the keycloak documentation, but not as easy to find as in your post.
Sorry but you're dodging the question here. You said "the attacks he chose were effectively fended off hundreds or in some cases thousands of years ago by theology and apologetics". Which specific arguments are you referring to?
Funny, because I believe the argument of the alt-right is that the elitists are also brainwashed and controlled to be puppets of the socialist secret Nanny deep state
As I previously mentioned, it doesn't sell anyone any amount of new debt.

The whole point of "scrappage schemes" where you can scrap your dirty inefficient old car that only gets 40mpg and buy a new one that is much cleaner and more efficient at 41mpg for only 600 quid a month at 77% APR is to get people as deep into debt as possible.

Because debt is profitable, and clean air is not.
Natural gas power plants are gas turbines, not steam turbines.

Some have a secondary steam turbine as an exhaust energy recovery system but as I understand it that’s becoming uncommon on new builds because new gas turbines are expected to be used less now that there’s a lot of renewable energy on a lot of grids.

I once worked for a startup that convinced me to both invest money into the company and work for free. I thought I was positioning “the company” for success, when I was just being taken advantage of.

Run far, far away from any investors who are obsessed with “their side” of the deal so much they don’t care how many lives they have to destroy to get what they want.
Thank you for a detailed explanation!

Please see my response to @pgwhalen. In short, the problem has, I think, a much simpler solution.

What I really dislike about this JEP is not only that it tries to solve the educational problem in a worst possible manner (my opinion), but it also risks creating a generation of students who don't really understand the fundamental concepts that allow us to write reliable code.

Perhaps we need to start teaching basic programming with BASIC instead, and graduate to a more complicated platform once the basic concepts have been understood.
Why Democracy Needs Privacy
Old and convincing, to those who want to be persuaded by them.

I also disliked Dawkins’ book and found my path to atheism elsewhere.

However, the problem of evil has a persuasive answer only for those already within the system, to speak.

Christian apologetics is nearly exclusively a field of interest for those Christians who want to be more prepared to deal with conversations with non-believers.

The problem should be obvious already.

If you became a Christian before being exposed to the ‘rational’ arguments for being a Christian, then what exactly caused you to become a Christian?

Given the extraordinary amount of effort poured into the field of apologetics with very little outcome in terms of new converts, it seems to me that the primary purpose of Christian apologetics is to help those suffering a bout of cognitive dissonance to stuff it back down.

I wonder what benefit the certification has these days. IIUC, it used to be a requirement for contracts from large corporations and government agencies, but these days the number of commercial Unix systems is fairly small, and RHEL is so common in those environments, I wonder if it there's still places where it's required.
He's joking that his comments lower IQs.
Actually my experience with self driving cars is the exact opposite.

After giving control over to an AI, suddenly I don't care at all about saving 3 minutes by picking the perfect lane, getting the best spot on every merge, maxing out the speed limit threshold where the local police will pull me over.

That kind of gamification with no tangible reward actually generates the anxiety. When you're no longer the player, there's no more anxiety about those weird time optimizations.

If streets are "clogged" it saves me a few pennies and gives me less reason to worry about a human cutting across to risk my life for no reason. It's actually kinda relaxing.

But you are wrong about one thing: AI have a fear of death. Every aspect of their training is hyper focused on a paranoid level of death avoidance.

When I picked up my father from the airport last month, I did your worst nightmare, my car circled the terminal for about an hour while I jammed out to progressive rock. 90% of the time I was in bumper to bumper on a closed access road with no entrance or exit. From a traffic perspective it was irrelevant whether I was there or not. On the 10% when I reached the terminal on the loop, surprise, I was blocked by loading cars in front of me... The same blockage the car behind me would face.
I accept that different people think it means different things, which makes me want to create a new phrase that doesn't already have a meaning. open software? Not sure, but communication is hard when you co-opt phrases that have intuitive meaning and try to supercede that.

Cutting the power is easy, the hard part is for the car to know when/how to reconnect power when the driver wants to start the vehicle. I guess with a physical ignition switch, the mechanical motion of the tumbler could reconnect power. But, most cars don't have ignition tumblers anymore.
This guy writes good stuff. He wrote start small, stay small. A book that still sticks with me a decade later. Also quite some big names in the SaaS arena that aren’t just marketing BS. I’m in for a copy, thanks for sharing.
I asked for a specific argument that the parent felt Dawkins made that was sufficiently rebutted by theologians. They replied with a generic list of Christian apologetics.

You're welcome to contribute to the debate if you have a specific example in mind to defend their argument.
The fundamental error that causes misuse of p-values (and statistics in general) is misunderstanding what statistics is in the first place. Statistics is applied epistemology. There is no algorithm that fits all situations where you're trying to think about and learn new things. It's just hard and we have to deal with that.

Arguably, the main point of p-values is trying to prevent people who really know better from "cheating" by reporting "interesting" results from very low sample sizes. Having a very rigid framework as a rejection criteria helps with this. However, the scientific community and system are not capable of dealing with "real cheating" that includes fabrication of data. Also, any such rigid metric is going to be gamed. Of course, there are some people who would also cheat themselves and maybe learning about p-values makes this less frequent. But such people using them don't understand what those values are telling them, beyond "yes, I can publish this". This is counterproductive because it prevents deep thinking and thorough investigation.

Most scientists realize that in practice there is no simple list of objective criteria that tells you what experiments to perform and how exactly to interpret the results. This takes a lot of work, careful thinking, trying different things and very much benefits from collaboration. But who's got time for that? There's papers to publish and grant applications to write. So p-values it is. Or maybe some other thing eventually, that also won't solve the fundamental problem.
I 100% agree with you and that was my takeaway as well from watching the series, I clearly was not very good at communicating my point.
>In practice? Some tools are just worth spending the money on upfront, inferior tools will often lead to frustration and failure early on.

no, you can't undermine the idea with this trick. For example (grabbing examples from other comments in this thread), while an expensive soldering iron might be much better than a cheap one, there is no way you know before you start whether you're going to be soldering a lot.

I know how to solder, I've soldered a lot since I was about 13, and I can solder just fine with a crappy soldering iron (just like good pizza makers can use a primitive wood fired oven) but after I learned to wire-wrap, I put down my soldering iron almost for good... and does wire-wrapping even exist any more? If I wanted to take it up again, I'd find antique wirewrapping tools before I'd torture myself with soldering anything. All of which is my way to say, if I can't predict how much soldering I'm going to do, then no beginner can predict whether an expensive soldering iron is what they need or not.

Maybe if you went out and geared up with the most expensive technical mountain climbing gear, you could climb Everest on your first try, and you could then make the case that had you bought the cheap stuff you would have been discouraged by frostbite. But that's just not a good plan.

Windows Update and Windows Defender are notorious piles of shit that eat up huge amounts of CPU for seemingly no reason.

The problem is that there is zero incentive to get them right. Nobody is going to get promoted because they use 10% less CPU. Nobody is losing their bonus because 10% of all computers melt down. etc.
