The problem I see on this topic is that many people takes sides on the debate it as if it were an immutable story, to be used as a judgement for all time, fueling people's good or bad political purposes.

But if anything, time and history has shown us that even if you adopt the proposition that IQ scores measure something meaningful and some groups score less than others -- the situation is totally changeable and moveable. People become more educated, more skilled, share more culturally over time.

There is nothing intrinsic about IQ that cannot change. So to use is as if it means someone is "inferior" is just a fallacy or at best a blinded snapshot in time.

Don't use the concept this way.
Ya, keyless entry/start is a huge convenience. I'd be mad if I had to disable those features to use my car.
> A big part of "The Bell Curve" was arguing that no interventions could change IQ except genetics and so any money spent on low IQ people (African-Americans in the book, but the author followed up by attacking poor people more generally) was a pointless waste.

It should be self-evident that you can lower IQ through environment (injury, developmental issues, malnourishment, etc.). So even if you believe there's a genetic ceiling to IQ, Flynn effect (and reverse) don't contradict that.
Oh, cool, still more evidence than you've provided. And honestly, you can Google for peer-reviewed publications just as well as I can if you're just going to complain about my sources.

Where are your "peer-reviewed publications" that prove I'm wrong. How about let's see that first, since you've provided nothing (not even an argument) for why I'm wrong. You just stated you could make the argument, and you yada yada yada'd your way through the rest of the point:

> Car lanes bring more customers from far away locations etc. etc.

How about you fill out the etc's with some peer-reviewed publications?

If you share a bed with someone you don't need any of this tech b.s. to know you're choking yourself awake dozens of times an hour.

Listen to the people you actually share a home with if they inform you you're not sleeping well (and are probably interfering with their sleep too).

- Someone who grew up in an utterly dysfunctional household in the sleep quality department. Denial so deep, unreliable "science" would be abused as "proof" of there not being a problem.

** hearing loss is another one; if your hearing has become so bad you mishear much of what your family is saying to you... esp. with a bias for the negative/combativeness, often promoted by consistent lack of sleep (surprise!), get an effing hearing aid already. You're destroying your relationships with your family.

> People who want financial system free of government control and people who want government to prosecute for crypto crimes are mostly different people.

Are they? I'm not so sure.

Could you elaborate? The whole selling point of cryptocurrencies seems to be to start from scratch, without those pesky KYC/AML and tax laws.

Traditional banking is not a natural law. It's man-made.

The benefits cryptocurrencies have over traditional banking seem to all come either directly or indirectly from the extent to which they do not have the man-made rules and laws.

Basically: It is hard to send money from A to B because of laws.

The set of people who like cryptocurrency is not small. The number of anarchists is vanishingly small. People want anarchism (complete freedom) and unregulated cryptocurrency until someone else uses that anarchism against them, and then they want regulation, post-facto.

It's not different people. It's the same people at different times; the times they're affected and the times they're not.
I used to love Mad writers, each so different and brilliant in their own way...Al Jaffee was no exception.
I tried walking around sun belt cities. Would not recommend. Just looked at the top 20 american cities by population. I would consider 6 walkable or bikeable. Maybe 7 I've never been to columbus.
You can write hn@ycombinator.com . I’ve chatted with dang on that email address several times.
I agree with you on this. And yes, rising living standards will hopefully make people care more about their environment.

I also agree with you on the individual level with increasingly larger cars etc..

Not all coal costs that much.

There are places where there is abundant brown coal, which cannot be economically transported long distances and is therefore basically loaded on a conveyer belt directly into power stations.

New-build brown coal isn’t economically viable either.
The way I did this was I added a daily task to my todo list to do spaced repetition.

And I started small. Add a few flashcards, review. Don't add more than 5-20 cards per day (Anki and Mochi have new card limits to enforce this for you).

If you use it daily, and add cards at a slow trickle, they won't pile up and you won't get discouraged.
> Once you buy the self driving car, you will want it to be on the road as much as possible, you want return on investment.

I don't really follow the argument. I don't think of my car as an "investment." In fact quite the opposite, I think of it as an extremely depreciatory purchase that is partly a necessary cost of living (commuting for work, shopping) and partly for leisure (visiting friends and family, going out on the town, road trips). It makes very little sense to me to "want to be on the road as much as possible," especially considering that most of the depreciation for when I eventually sell it or trade it in is likely going to be based on the odometer rather than the calendar.

Question that just now occurs to me: what if you have the follow class and invoke it? (typing without an IDE, forgive any compilation errors). I can imagine answers, but I’m not sure if the JEP explains which one will happen (genuinely unsure, I could’ve easily missed it).

public class Foo {

int x;

public Foo(int x) {
this.x = x;
}

void main() {
System.out.println(x);
}
}
public transport as implemented in Asia and Europe, especially for last (couple) mile sort of uses is an antiquated idea in a world of self-driving. In a city like San Francisco you could literally ban cars in downtown and have the local transit authority run something like Uber pool of cars that fit 4 passengers comfortably and do point 2 point transit with optimized routing 24/7. The reason buses/trains are so large is to amortize a bunch of things, not the least of which is the driver.
I try to keep my cars on trickle chargers (Noco Genius 5 in my case) when not driven regularly, because regularly killing $300 AGM batteries gets expensive.

That said, I'd expect most cars should be able to manage, say, 2-3 months. It's when I exceed 4 months with some regularity that battery life starts getting sketchy.

If you're driving the car every weekend, I'd expect that should be plenty. Note that fancier cars with more electronic features don't do well when only driven short distances. If you only drive 2-3 miles at a time, you might be discharging the battery faster than you're charging it.

Am I missing something? The article says:

> As you’re applying heat with your soldering iron, it’s important to have the metal tip heating both the pad and the solder that’s going onto it—note the location where I’m placing the iron.

But there's no picture to "note the location where I'm placing the iron" in? Was this article written somewhere else and repurposed and they missed a picture?
Natural phenomena do tend to make sense when investigated scientifically. It seems rather that not all cosmologists and mathematicians have an obligation to develop scientific theories:

- Blackhole Cosmology, Eternal Inflation: unscientific, dismiss reality
- Mathematical Universe: unscientific, no reality

The actual sciences brought to bear on cosmology (thermo and statistical mechanics) can make enough sense of our observations, without the psychedelics, but do nothing for cosmology as the search for meaning which is what it really is.

Most of these concepts, in all their variety, share the same metaphysical premise that our observed universe was inevitable. To the extent that it appears very distinct, we simply cannot see the overall structure in which it was actually a certainty.

The Boltzmann Brain at least gets closer to facing the issue objectively. The basic reality that we experience today -- in which there's some amount of matter and charge, spacetime, in which eggs only scramble, etc. -- just happens to be so. From our point of view, something highly "improbable" happened in the distant past.
I think this was posted about three months ago. The number of rooms has increased by a third in that time? It's cool but it's not what I was expecting for ever-expanding.

Like a lot of people, I didn't know about clicking, so at first I thought it was just a generative system and was expecting it to get bigger. Only around the time I started trying to figure out what the big deal was did I begin to focus on what the characters were doing and noticing the pop culture references.
Yup, it’s not looking great.

We will build terminators, they might not be as cool as what’s in the movies but you will not be able to stop them. You will be told what to do and if you don’t like it…

The government doesn’t need you anymore, you’re tax dollars are worthless and really, you’re a key driver of climate change, you can’t revolt because armies of bots without any conscience enforce “the law”, what’s next ?

This seems to be the way that OpenAI is behaving now that they have a model that is practically relevant, and I don't blame them at all for working this way. It just makes sense.

Yup, and you have a government who has no desire to reign it in.

The only hope we have is failure to get an AGI, or the AGIs are some how ultra compassionate, or we learn to augment our intelligence very quickly.

I saw this Boston Dynamics clip the other day and this nice enough looking hippy guy was like , “we just want atlas to help people…”, I felt sick and felt sorry for him because he doesn’t realise that it will very likely be used to do bad stuff by the Military and law enforcement.

All this “progress” is sold to us under the guise of helping people, “African babies need AI doctors”…

Wow. Respect for the guy with the longest career ever as a comics artist, think over 70 years in the game. He began his career in the comic book industry in the 1940s, working for publishers such as Timely Comics (which later became Marvel Comics) and DC Comics.
Jaffee began working for Mad magazine in 1955, and over the years, he became one of the most influential contributors to the magazine.
He created the famous "fold-in" feature for Mad magazine in 1964. The fold-in was a back cover feature that presented a seemingly innocuous image, which, when the page was folded, revealed a hidden message or image. RIP to a legend…
Not many. Not including a few larger recalls (Hyundai Kona for example), the battery replacement percentage for EVs is under 5%. The rest are still running on the original battery.[0]

This is the biggest limit for re-using and recycling EV batteries, the damn things just won't die.

Thanks. I have recently rolled out Keycloak on k8s with Istio and ACME cert-manager. I’m going to write an article about it and post here when I find some time.
Same here, 2018. Last battery replacement was 6 months, let's see how long this one lasts.
Proper weapon education would do just fine for random 'kid shot itself with papas gun'.

In Germany you need to look away your gun and need to have it in a locked case for traveling (even in a car as a hunter).

And for the school shootings: less bullying more social support.

It's not magic, it's not the guns and other weapons.

The solution to all is education and social support.

Let people take part in our society.

It could not speak because it has no mouth, but as far as the translation go, I'd say somewhere in between. AFAIU, there's been some indication that GPT-4 works with concepts (so e.g. if it gets extra training for a specific task in one language, its performance on that task improves in other languages as well), GPT-3.5 probably does too, to a lesser extent.

"And, it should be said, there has long been debate over how accurately IQ tests are able to gauge overall intelligence and potential for success in society in the first place."

That's not what this psychologist concluded:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/11/does-iq-determine-success-a-...

Anyway, I don't think it's bad to just admit that people intelligence is declining. The world has evolved such that you need less of it to get by.

If it's true that most of the population can't read that sentence, it's because it's both contrivedly complex and also syntactically incorrect.
Thanks for this, looking forward to read it! I would also recommend in turn the paper by Greenland et al (2016) called "Statistical tests, P values, confidence intervals, and power: a guide to misinterpretations.". It's a great read.

I recently had a chat with a colleague who has "abandoned p-values for bayes factors" in their research, on how, in principle, there's nothing stopping you from having a "bayesian" p-value (i.e. the definition of the p-value at its most general can easily accommodate bayesian inference, priors, posteriors, etc). The counter-retort was more or less "no it can't, educate yourself, bayes factors are better" and didn't want to hear about it. It made me sad.

p-values are an incredibly insightful device. But because most people (ab)use it in the same way most people abuse normality assumptions or ordinal scales as continuous, it's gotten a bad rep and means something entirely different to most now by default.
I've been called worse things, and at this stage in life it is hard to be offended by people who don't know me well enough to give an insightful insult. But I hadn't responded to the earlier comment because it was more generally antagonistic and seemed to reflect a (possibly intentional?) misinterpreted and negative reading of the blog. "Don't feed the trolls", as the saying goes.

I started writing that particular blog with different experimental methods in mind, but wrote so much as a prerequisite that I wanted to stop and make that first part a standalone post. My last paragraph was supposed to make it clear that this was a launching off point, rather than a summation of everything I know about decision theory or experimentation.

Thanks for writing more substance into this comment. These opinions are sensible, I agree with much that you wrote here. On one: I do use MABs and see them as a feasible method for many organizations, and at some point I'd like to write about some challenges with those too.

Wishing you the best in your techbro or ftxbro or <whatever>bro life too!
> I wouldn't want the government to control jeans manufacturing

Of course you do. You want asbestos to be banned in the clothes you buy. You want labelling of material to not be lies. You want child labour banned. You want slavery banned. You want trademark protection. You want the factory to not dump toxic waste in the nearby river.

And you say "well, of course I want that, but not... I dunno..." and give some hypothetical. Well, the same with cryptocurrency. If you think you want to get rid of all financial regulation, including AML/KYC, then I don't think you've thought about the issue for more than a fleeting moment.
Funny, that's my prime complaint about SF (which I otherwise love). I'd like it to be like Tokyo's inner districts.

I believe it's quite common. In about 50 y this place will look very different.
As I understand how those TV's are built, this is not true.

They are definitely running on the same _chip_, but you're right that (some of) those operations are not running on the generic ARM CPU cores. There is dedicated silicon for some of those fore sure, but it's all part of the same SoC.

Take a look at something like MediaTek Pentonic 1000: the product page talks about the included CPU and GPU ARM cores, but that SoC is responsible for _so much_. It dictates how many inputs your TV can have, it contains all the media-decoding blocks (AIUI, including things like ATSC!), and _it_ handles Dolby Vision, ALLM, and half of the niceties of modern high-end TVs.

So for everyone that doesn't have enough engineering bandwidth/competency/money to build their own silicon for things like this (which includes, oh, say, Sony.), and if you're buying off the shelf, you're getting those cores!

Might as well run Android on them.

Looks like there's more work left to do to catch up to Chrome: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823634

That bug is more subtle. Apparently the various ways to use VirtualAlloc is not self evident, and some variations have wildly different performance characteristics due to undocumented interactions with Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events that get sent to anti virus products.

So it's not only the original problem of the events being handled inefficiently, it's also that the way they're generated is a bit of a black box and hard to predict without detailed performance tracing work.
You trust one of these random people enough to promote it. It's not unreasonable for people to point out that the author is quite infamous for his viewpoints.

>the city instead requires businesses to maintain off-street parking, and they pass that cost on to everyone

I'm not sure how generally true that is where I live relatively nearby (Boston/Cambridge). There are some businesses that have generally fairly crowded/small parking lots. (And places like hospitals certainly do though you generally have to pay for them.) But in general you have to pay for metered parking or find a garage.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic but the solution to some of those things is on the horizon (e.g. null awareness). Seems like a lot of work is necessary to get there though.
I would if the "bus" was small, traveled more like an uber pool (to my destination rather than along a corridor with 30 useless stops a block apart), and if the identity of those strangers was known to a system that could then remove their ability to hail future rides if anything went down.
A mechanical keyboard is a decent project to learn on. I built a Pinky4 kit when I was starting out, since you can't easily buy a keyboard like it already assembled. (Ergodox/Moonlander have bad thumb clusters)
I'd argue vocabulary is a special case. There's not that much going on. There really isn't a concept graph involved.
From my experience "WinCE" and "solid" doesn't really belong in the same sentence. It felt like hodgepodge of various pieces outsourced to lowest bidder, with atrocious documentation. I don't know, maybe it was late stage decline and it was actually better in early versions (I only used WEC7). Why would they want to keep developing this instead of migrating to NT?
I always have a tab open with merrysky. I really like the extra detail they show in the graph of wind/temp/precipitation and the break down of the day.

For Seattle area in particular most weather apps will show the entire week as cloudy and rainy, but there is a lot more to it and merrysky is able to surface that.

The context is what one could consider paying themselves if they assessed their potential market salary at $250k - not what one would pay hires.
In many European and Asian cities this is a solved problem. You buy your own parking spot, lease one by year, or pay for the expensive hourly lots. Those are your only options.
The JEP says:

> If a launched class has no static main method but has a non-private zero-parameter constructor ... and a non-private instance main method, then construct an instance of the class... [and] invoke the instance main method

Your class doesn't have a zero-parameter constructor nor a suitable static main, so launching it as a program will fail (as it would today).

Well, the conversation is mostly about the impact of new technology on large-scale trends. When someone makes a prediction about how "a lot of people" will react to new technology, it's understandable that a reply of "I won't react like that" could be seen as irrelevant.

Like if someone says "a lot of people will buy the new iPhone" and someone replies "I will never own a cellular phone or even a cordless landline phone" I can understand why that could seem irrelevant to the conversation.
You're being silly, but I'll humor you. The world "control" has multiple meanings.

In the communist sense: the government should not control the means of production for jeans or crypto.

In the social welfare sense: the government should "control" whether people are allowed to steal others' jeans and crypto, and the government should "control" whether you can abuse children in connection with your jeans or crypto company.

You can play with the meaning of the word, but whatever meaning you choose, jeans and crypto shouldn't be treated any differently.
