@blinkwarp i think that the moment where these problems in europe could have been fixed has passed long ago.

@Demosthenes psyop on 4chan sounds like a recipe for disaster

@amerika @TradeMinister @arteteco @freemo @manarock i assume that trying to measure intelligence as a scalar value is flawed. if two persons of identical intelligence take those tests, the one which has trained with similar tests will be better.

@MilquetoastQT @TradeMinister @amerika @arteteco @freemo @manarock maybe, i guess the usual way math is taught has also never really sparked my interest. i'm
also not really good at doing things for the sake of doing them :)

@amerika @TradeMinister @arteteco @freemo @manarock the point i want to make is that the presentation of the test generates a bigger error than one assumes because brains can work radically different inside, they are a black box.

@amerika @TradeMinister @arteteco @freemo @manarock those are exactly the tests i think of when talking about IQ tests. IMO, they measure how good people perform solving artificial problems. types of intelligence are too widely varied that this would make sense. i'm not really good with mathematics, but have less problems with theoretical computer science. i've come to think that maybe the different approaches to notation and thinking about problems are a reason for this. maybe i've just had bad people teaching math to me?

@arteteco @freemo @manarock @amerika @TradeMinister regarding this, i think what most people not familiar with science don't see is that the different populations have developed different traits in adaption to their environment, and that those traits don't have any intrinsic value apart from this. they just may not match our environments anymore.

people also usually have problems regarding how statistics work. the (questionable, as IQ is a constructed bullshit value imho) IQ experiments say something about how good a group performs in an artificial test. people then apply those results to individuals, but the math doesn't work this way.

@Shiroyasha interesting, it's a common vegetable here but i've never thought about frying it!

@xblaqxpanda hi there! 👋

@fruitywelsh hi! 🐘

So, is there a known good mirror of #youtube-dl ? The current situation is basically an invitation to pwn nerds with a spiked version 🙊

@robby i still think that the classic "c book" is great for learning the concepts, those things hardly change.

@bonifartius i have switched to a chrome based browser now for these things, but i remember that i've had a strange problem using github with firefox. it got fixed quick, but nonetheless stands for how non chrome browsers are valued.

this isn't mozillas fault, but their bad choices have led us to this reality.
