That is an extremely good question. It's certainly part of it. I don't know if we ever divided the subjects up by university degree, but one could do that. IIRC this paper looks at Estonia and finds that even within different leve

You mean the principal components of the genetic data? That's probably real. It's well known that they cluster geographically, just because people tend to mate with other people close to them. There might also be stronger effects

I think the causality is more the other way round. Originally our title was "genetic consequences ..." but we were asked to change it. If you look at the part of the paper with coalfields, UK coalfields were laid down about a mil

> But if I understand the summary, your findings lean toward the determinism side. Absolutely not. I don't think any serious geneticist is a genetic determinist, in fact it's hard to even know what that means... DNA without an

I've seen exactly the same thing in Latin, where instead of learning "nominative", "accusative" and "genitive" cases for nouns, pupils were told about "case 1", "case 2" and "case

I feel ambivalent about Substack's Notes (its version of X/Bluesky). On the one hand, the signal/noise ratio is higher than either X or Bluesky. On the other hand, I can see signs of the social media engagement farming nonsen

There's four, and they read like a single pro-Chinese thesis broken up into bite-size chunks.

Slightly OT but when I hear a set of short comments like this, all agreeing with each other, I become very suspicious. It just doesn't seem like a natural conversation.

Gossip about the opposite sex is probably the world's oldest social activity. The problem is that the internet lets it happen at industrial scale, and obviously that can be misused or have dangerous unintended consequences.

Almost everywhere on the internet is like this. It's hn that is (mostly!) exceptional.

I foresee a new journalistic genre of "abject apologies made by llms". Since they are often both obsequious and much less competent than their marketing, we can hope for more good examples in future.

For sure Fox et al. have been pushing the idea that scientists have biases, but it can also be true that science has become more biased. Update: a little evidence. This doesn't cover change over time, but it strikes me as fairly extrem

The authors say "High developer familiarity with repositories" is a likely reason for the surprising negative result, so I wonder if this generalizes beyond that.

That's another thing I hate - people defending GDPR by assuming I'm stupid and don't know what choices I want to make regarding the websites I go to.

God I hate the GDPR with a passion. The amount of time I've wasted clicking those stupid popups.

Needless to say, that link doesn't prove the claim - not even close. So again, stop spreading antisemitic propaganda.

Aaaagh nooo, why have you converted this lovely poem into a feeble fable about a "winning mindset"?

I'm a bit skeptical. For a start, you seem not to know which century Pepys was from! The link is to a 50 minute video. Perhaps you could briefly explain what leads you to believe Pepys was a rapist.
