Would seem so on the face of it, but measuring performance is not trivial, and some people can be essential for reasons unrelated to performance (or their real performance isn't accurately measured, however you want to see it).

You say that, but "somewhat confirmed" is not a diagnosis.

The example is just one example. For some parents, it's this but all the time with different things. ASD* kids don't learn like neurotypical kids and if you treat them the same you will quickly get exhausted. As someone who has

No but everyone should jump away from SourceForge after the shady crap they pulled. Gitlab is also a thing.

I don't think any individual knows anymore, it's just ML optimization for getting the most ads, presumably through engagement.

As a CollegeHumor fan (subscribed to Dropout), I can't really imagine what they might do with only 5-10 people. How could they even keep half their Dropout shows going, let alone keep cranking out skits on YouTube? A sad day for comedy

Any comparative study with a decent methodology would detect the problem of differing sensitivities per person (by checking the standard deviation among other things). The problem, as another comment points out, is that this study was done

With regard to treatment, what are you basing your belief on? Plenty of diseases can be halted or cured with chemicals.

I'm getting a strong "Homer Simpson's car" vibe from this. I'm rooting for Tesla but this... I wouldn't even want to ride in it.

That's exactly the reason. Ads can much more easily be camouflaged as real content this way.

Honestly we don't even know enough in the psychology department to possibly arrive at AGI anytime soon. BUT if anyone can clear a hurdle or two...

We can barely trust pictures anymore either. It seems we'll be going back to judging the likelihood of one's actions based on one's reputation, for better or for worse. There soon won't be such a thing as unreasonable do

Even my autistic friends can develop soft skills. If someone can't do it it means they need help with it, not that they are inherently incapable.

I can scarcely believe the level of elitism I'm seeing here. Guess what: Most art is garbage. Scorsese here is complaining that the movies we're seeing are the "bad" ones, but if we just went to see his preferred kind of

Sorry for all the people suddenly feeling vindicated but the sample size is kinda small to make such a broad statement. The "sorta double blind" study only has 40 participants, 20 of whom were doodling. Plus, it wasn't random

Doesn't have to but could be. And with Alphabet being the giant it is, anything that reasonably could be happening probably is. And I find it a reasonable and scary possibility, even if it's not the primary reason for the acquisit

Am I the only one to notice the questions in the graph don't have a logical correlation? If you translate them, most older adults think most younger adults should be independant, while most younger adults aren't. This is jus

Not all branches of psychology are the same. Social psychology is generally pretty rigorous. For example you can calculate the average attitude and this will be consistently reproducible, assuming your methodology isn't too flawed. Of

It's basically the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which has long since been disproven, but the soft version is still kicking because it's much harder to disprove and part of it is necessarily true (but I think it&#x

Yeahhh this study is near worthless. Still an interesting research subject if you can do away with the sampling bias though.
