I don't agree. To put it bluntly, I think there is a much higher floor for intelligence in even basic programming below which one has negative productivity. I think it is at least in the 90th percentile of intelligence and maybe a litt

The project is almost certainly Aeternity. They forked Zack's code, used his name to publicize their project and then paid Zack off to join their fork with tokens from his own chain! Zack is a smart guy but the whole thing is a shit sh

Don't try to gaslight people. Posting terrible arguments for sides you disagree with is lame epistemic pollution.

An interesting question. Is that a commonly cited reason for women leaving engineering programs? If we were to poll women who dropped engineering and sexism was low on the list of reasons for leaving would this reduce your certainty?

IQ is mostly genetics. You won't find many 100 or even 120 IQ engineers working at Google.

The vast majority of people are biologically not fit to work at Google. All he said is because of slight differences in average ability and preferences we should expect the proportion of women in that incredibly small pool of people who are

It is tempting to reduce an argument to the most uncharitable caricature imaginable. To counteract this, image I transported you to a world where there was not a subconscious misogynistic pressure keeping women out of programming and women

Denial of sexual dimorphism is an odd shibboleth, but amazingly persistent. It always makes me laugh when any ideology claims to be pro-science, as the left has done recently. They deny natural selection when it encumbers on their domain ju

Summers was put in a struggle session and fired for pointing out an obvious hypothesis that has psychometric backing. Your ideology is ascendant. Congrats. But please don't tell me destroying someone's earning capacity is a micro

It's not moral standards we have, it is ridiculously parochial notions of purity and natural-is-better attitudes. If we fail to free our children from stupidity and ill health, we are the moral imbeciles. If Asian nations increase heal

Solidity is a pretty core part of Ethereum at this moment. It is demonstrably utter garbage, as this bug illustrates.

It's not pseudoscience and I suspect we'll have firm genetic proof that this has occurred. However, it is so slow it likely won't matter. Genetic engineering for increased IQ is looking like it will be easier than anticipated

>But if the people are fairly content and happy as it fades, is that such an issue. Yes, this is a horrible outcome. We must admit that we have something here that is worth preserving. If we continue to fail in this we are in a very sorr

I'm almost certain widespread polyamory will degenerate into polygamy approximately instantaneously.

Natural selection will take care of this eventually, either genetically or memeticly. I suspect the outcome will not be as happy as what the traditions we flouted provided. The birth rate is likely the most telling critique of western socie
