No, AFAIK you can very much improve at general IQ tests with practice. But all IQ measurements and normalisation are taken on subjects who (hopefully) haven't practiced, so the correlation between the SAT and IQ measurements should not include the practice factor on the IQ side.

You are assuming I am some Trump American-first Republican. I think you are severely misjudging the politics of Ukraine support in the US, which has collapsed in the last few months.

Perhaps I am opposed to harsh projections of American power in an increasingly multipolar world? The global playing field is leveling, I think that is precisely the wrong time to be making even bitterer enemies.

How many of those do you get a day, as well as a proportion of daily notification number? I know that any kind of notification is a significant mental tax for me, especially if i feel compelled to check it in case it's a fire. It forces a context switch, demands you enter a completely different mode which to me is wholly incompatible with the majority of modes i enjoy taking in my free time.

Personally, I'll never willingly enter an on call channel ever again. Nearly every night there was some thing i had to read and understand while i was in the middle of deep thought or creativity. Sometimes when they start they'll ping endlessly for hours. It's as if this dead claw of work is reaching in and eating away at my brain.

I'm not sure if there had been any unprecented drop in the trust level between 2015 and 2023 (meaning under the Law and Justice government).

While it is true that it's relatively low in Poland in general... Eg. according to this survey [1], the percentage of respondents expressing trust in the government decreased from 38% in 2016 down to 32% in 2022 (while clearly exceeding 40% about half way through).

Which is pretty normal whenever the same party stays at power for a longer period; its popularity wears out over time.

For comparison, the same score was at 39% back in 2012, midway through the term of the government preceding Law and Justice. Hardly a striking contrast.

I'm even less sure about your claim when it comes to the context of welfare systems in particular.

Social transfers and safety net is one of the very few areas where the Law and Justice government achieved substantial results, even though it had to steer the country through the hardships of the pandemics.

For example, in terms of the percentage of children at risk of poverty and social exclusion Poland ranked 14th in the EU back in 2015 [2]. By 2022, it ranked 6th [3].

Also look at [4], [5], [6]...

I am putting aside the infamous judiciary reforms, abortion, and other hot button areas (which are far less of a priority for an average voter than echo chamber—commentators tend to assume). I'm focusing on the taxing & welfare, and sheer facts.

I find this aspect intriguing, and seems to contribute to the buzz around the event? Used to be true in some other areas of computer science too, but outside of security I can't think of an academic conference where it still happens. Nowadays you can almost always expect talks at top conferences to have preprints posted on arXiv (or openreview.net) ahead of the talk, often weeks or months ahead. I mean not that somewhere like NeurIPS lacks buzz either, but you're not normally expecting major surprises in the talks.

it is worth noting that in a conversation i had with a github employee regarding this issue that they were sympathetic to this situation. to be fair, a work account should really be paid for by the company. so i think github is going to tolerate this because they should really go after the company not individual users in that case.

One needs to ignore a lot of stuff to believe these newer planes are very safe, so I'm not sure if it's completely irrational.

You have a long list of fairly recent problems... the stuff around MCAS that killed people, misdrilled holes, loose or missing bolts, debris inside fuel tanks, etc.

Agreed - I wish I had better data but it just feels like a low seven figure outcome could realistically be the outcome of many serious traffic accidents I’m solving for a 3rd standard deviation event but only having a couple hundred thousand of coverage feels like your solving for the lowest 1-2 quartile of outcomes.
Exactly. My regular setup is two 27" monitors both at home and at work, but I noticed that most if the time I focus on one monitor, while the other monitor is secondary with Teams, Outlook etc and only "supports" my workflow.

I am sure a setup as shown in the video could help someone like a stock trader as they are used to getting large amount of input from multiple sources. But I think for most people, to actually get things done, they only have this much attention and can do limited amount of multitasking. Having to arrange windows is also a real hassle. And for me, I already use workspace features for different projects, which is a bit burdening, and having infinite amount of windows around is not going to help.

Which is why I never bothered to add a third monitor when I could easily do so. I tried it out a few times with my tablet but found that display mostly unused.

Harvard, Yale, etc. could set a particular standard and increase enrollment to accept everyone who met that standard and (if logistics allowed) that could possibly be a good thing. In some ways the massive online classes seem to be piloting this idea.

However, if you go spend some time teaching at a community college, I don't think you'll walk away with the idea that somehow getting all those students pushed into a university would improve things for the community college students or for the ability to educate kids at the university.

Increasing enrollment might be beneficial, but past a certain point it is going to be detrimental to education.
I think what it comes down to is that most of the other ways to automate ID creation at scale were probably really easy to detect using ... well, probably neural networks. Because ID verification services had access to millions of "real" ID photos, I'd think a lot of fake images created using traditional automation would be pretty easy to detect (For example, having the same backgrounds/wood grain pattern reused for multiple images). So what neural network generation is adding here is basically being able to add much much more "plausible randomness" to the image (lens artifacts, dust motes, wood grain, plastic reflection, etc) in a way that makes distinguishing generated from non-generated images statistically very difficult.

People are used to being sold overcomplicated cheaply made things priced the same as well made things. Paying more is hardly ever a guarantee of getting better quality so without any ability to tell if something is actually good it does make more sense to go with the cheaper option.
> The component model is addressing this but it's sprawled out into literally rebuilding "worlds" and turning wasm modules into sort of lightweight virtual machines. I wish there was just more of a focus on getting data into and out of modules first.

As someone who works on the Component Model, this perception is interesting to me, can you explain your thinking a bit more? From my perspective, getting data in and out of modules is indeed solved. Worlds are a type signature that describe what datatypes and methods are available in a particular embedding, with standards for command line and http proxies, but easy to define whatever your situation requires.
Looks like it's a firefox thing. I tested in Ungoogled Chromium and it works fine for me too.
You are basically swapping out private insurance for public insurance. It isn’t a bad idea, however, to handle unexpected expenses via loans rather than hedging via risk pooling. I have no idea how it would work in practice (if it were private or public), especially when huge accidents happen costing millions of dollars.
I think the real problem here is over-reliance on cost-savings as a single dimension of quality.
Anecdote: a friend of mine is an admission officer for one of the US largest public university.

They told me that if your kid has a 4.0 GPA (a perfect GPA), do not take the SAT/ACT ... because, without those standardized test scores - your kid is "perfect".

But unless your kid has a perfect 4.0 GPA, taking the SAT/ACT typically helps your child get into a better school than their GPA might indicate.

YMMV
My favorite thing is the documentation fee. Yeah, we're going to charge you a fee because we're selling you a car and we have to put in some information. Tax? Title? License? Don't forget the bullshit documentation fee. How about the fee just because we can fee. Nitrogen in the tires? Window tint that we install on every car that touches our lot no matter what that we up charge 100% on?

And then how about an extended warranty? Want to finance through us so we can double dip?

Buying a car in America is one big show and dance as to who can screw the customer the most. And then god forbid you need to get service on the vehicle, they will do everything they possibly can to make sure it's not covered under warranty.

It may work for you, but base Emacs itself is buildable and usable on many older platforms. But external dependencies like LSPs, not so much.

And don't you think the convenience of like installing intellij, and it works fully is very convenient, whereas with Emacs a major component of the workflow, the LSP could be major hassle to get installed.

I've been self employed (doing the "solopreneur" thing) for ~8 years now. I wrote a blog post about the early days[0]. TLDR I have been bouncing between eCommerce (Shopify Apps) and software in the music space. Both of those avenues have roadblocks and challenges when it comes to building a future proof solo career: Shopify is a narrow market and changes fast while the music industry is all over the place. So now I'm focused on Zigpoll[1] which will hopefully have some legs take me from solopreneurship to early retirement :)

What do you mean by back to normal ? The African demographic boom, even if we didn't have our own fertility problem, will ensure there will be no back to "normal". History is never about going back to normal
You can improve with practice to the point where the procedures for most IQ tests forbid using a measure if the subject has taken that test in the past N months.
That wasn't the only thing that ruined Nortel, but it sure as heck didn't save them.
Except that metrics like how many TVs a household has are indicators of performance on SAT scores.

Obviously this is a proxy for socioeconomic status, and people higher on that ladder will have better support structures to do better in school.

This is begging the question as socioeconomic status is the primary indicator of educational attainment in our country today.

They aren't measuring potential, but the persons ability and advantages. Just as buying more TVs won't improve your students performance.

It’s bananas that a picture of an ID sent over the internet was ever considered identity verification.

There have been some improvements (in part due to these accidents) but this isn’t so far off from the regionals which was definitely a factor in both Comair and Colgan.

But crucially the majors are going to sell you a connecting ticket on them like any other, and they code share and mile just the same. Many of them are wholly owned to boot.
