Others mentioned ScreenStudio (which is awesome), but if you don't need all of its features (or can't afford it at the moment), I've found ScreenRun to be a great alternative: https://screenrun.app/

It's browser-based, but there's a Mac (and Windows I think) companion app that records the screen with click-tracking for zooming (as it's not possible with browser screen sharing just yet). It's somehow limited compared to ScreenStudio, and the interface feels cheaper compared to a native Swift app, but for my needs it gets the job done.
The core problem is if IQ tests are context sensitive. IQ tests are relatively new in human history so we don't know how do they operate (without much changes) in a 400 year timespan.
Now what are the chances that both died? If independent, very tiny. 1.6% * 0.41% = 0.00656%.

I think your initial percents are cumulative, but seem low, or annual, but seem on the higher side. Wasn't sure.

The chance of both them dying with an ongoing investigation, if not beset by medical issues (like this person) is pretty low.

Having imagination has nothing to do with staying on track and sticking to the conversation topic. Nothing you said has anything to do with criminalizing law abiding citizen for just existing. Privacy rights are a related but separate topic. We could talk about that separately if you want to. But I don't see how AI knowing where we are, or how AI enabling the monetization of our data has anything to do with criminalizing anything I do on a daily basis.

Shitting how? Many popular comments on HN delight in picking on the posted article, especially vehemently if it is something they don’t like (eg web3)

To me the cause seems simple: actively enforced groupthink
When it's a social problem, it's always people who are to blame. Reddit for example even had(? I think they fixed that one) downvote trolls farming downvotes because any attention works, and if it can be measured long term, it's even better!

You can't blame made up things if people actively choose to engage with rage baits. Every time something like that has occured, I time and time again notice that people could've solved this by doing nothing.

In real social setting, when someone says an unfunny joke, literally nobody laughs, and whoever said it feels very uncomfortable. On internet, when someone writes something stupid, they might sometimes get more replies than an interesting thing...

How can something like "The Algorithm" be blamed for people laughing at incredibly bad jokes?

> Moon-based centrifuges allowing locomotion inside would pose technical challenges and demand substantial electrical energy.

Comments:

> would pose technical challenges

That's a very funny disadvantage to call out! "Technical challenges" are how you know you are on the moon.

A stable rotating system would seem to be one of the simplest possible lunar challenges. If it is implemented within an existing environment shell, it could be quite low tech.

> demand substantial electrical energy.

Maintaining rotation in low Earth gravity should be a very low energy process. The only energy loss would be friction at the point of rotation, which should be minimal, and some position controlled weights, for maintaining balancing in the context of human movement.

But the proposed no-tech solution has a great return on investment, and is realistic for early days, or infrequently inhabited outposts.

So do most popular companies.

they get many applicants for a job. So you have to filter those applications. One way is to recruit from known places where they have already got people from as they know it worked. Typically those universities also filtered on how good you were and so the average quality is higher from those.

Obviously there will be exceptions but not work spending time to find them. Recruitment costs a lot in time and money.

If Boeing would only manufacture airplanes they would struggle from these recent developments.
Right, but you could theoretically say this about any software or technology (and this argument has very frequently in the past been used to argue against technologies like cars and airplanes). DNA sampling has "flaws" and "bugs" in it too that occasionally lead to false positives. Even police officers and lawyers falsely identify people occasionally. AI technology would just be another tool we collect evidence with for use in making inferences about the world. Imperfect technology never has been a blocker for using or improving that technology until it meets its purposes.

Sure, manufacturing depends on its inputs. My take is that the material economy (manufacturing and all its inputs) is the actual source of hard power, finance is a proxy, and maybe not the most helpful one in a case where war materials are controlled by an opponent.

> Regarding JPEG XL's mobile support, it makes sense it would see limited development if the company that manages one of the biggest mobile players has been the greatest restriction on their success. The lack of support also disincentivises manufacturers to prioritise support.

There was literally no involvement from any hardware vendor in the standardization of JPEG XL. It went from a Call for Proposals in Sept 2018 to Committee Draft in Aug 2019 with very little time for industry feedback. Contrast this with AV1 which had involvement from hardware vendors Intel, NVIDIA, Arm, AMD, Broadcom, Amlogic from the beginning as well as companies who ship media on hardware at scale such as Cisco, Netflix, Samsung and yes Google. These companies reviewed and provided significant feedback on the format that made it suitable for hardware implementation.

Only if you use a vertical wall as the "floor".

If you set the "floor" at, say, 45deg, and then spin the centrifuge up enough so that the floor feels level, you could practice running at √2g (~1.4g). Then vary the floor angle and centrifuge speed for various g levels while running on what feels like a level surface.

Interesting find on the "default application loop," but it hardly debunks panpsychism. Panpsychism suggests that all matter has proto-conscious traits, not just brain-like consciousness. The brain patterns we're identifying with fMRI are just how human consciousness manifests, based on our specific neural setups. This doesn't necessarily exclude other forms of consciousness inherent in different forms of matter, which might be beyond our current detection capabilities. Let's not conflate our present understanding of human consciousness with the broader, philosophical nature of consciousness itself.

The question is what other attributes you "accidentally" filter by if you filter by school prestige. Even if you do bias your pool to individually better candidates on average, you may bias it in a lot of other ways.

If the purpose of the filtering is to reduce the pool to a size where humans with common sense can make sensible calls, then that CC graduate with 10+ years of competitor experience would likely be filtered out before common sense could suggest he might be good anyway.

This is kinda the point, though.

Higher rates mean that it's more costly to expand with debt, encouraging people and businesses to take on less debt, and thus at the margin, decreasing prices.

Mind you, higher rates don't appear to have done much for housing prices in a bunch of markets (e.g. the US, Ireland and Israel) so clearly the lags are longer than I was expecting, at least.
1. You’re definitely still conscious when you’re asleep — dreams are certainly conscious experiences

2. We don’t actually know what the internal subjective state of apparently-unconscious people are e.g. in drug-induced states

Even if all of that were different, it still is not a disproof of panpsychism.

No, they usually compare scores of youngsters now with that of their parents cohort when they had the same age.

This is called the Flynn effect. But it’s tapering off, probably because nutrition health and education can only improve so much (don’t think any of those have changes substantially since the 80s/90s), which would explain why you see this effect get smaller and smaller now.

Your idea might also be correct, but I thought they were actually talking about the Flynn effect here. I might be wrong though

Here's my "reply-guy" comment of the day: if you are posting about where you buy your wall decoration and you get negative feedback, well, maybe it's not worth to tell strangers where you buy wall decoration.

But sometimes somebody puts a lot of effort on creating things for other people to enjoy. It can be a youtube video, a tutorial, a technical opinion. Or curl[^1].

Feedback provided on such an effort often takes a minuscule fraction of the work the creator put in, and they can be really nasty.

I just think that providing opinions should require some effort. An affordable amount of effort, but not too low. Maybe if I do something worth of notice someday, I'll invite feedback by creating a public Minecraft server and asking people to log in there and post their comments on the book at coordinates 1000, -58, 1000.
