Not the parent poster, but I sort of get the notion. There is little correlation between long hours and getting more work done, especially post 50 hours per week. Learning to do more with less time, prioritizing that is, is the more vital s

Bitwig was the next big DAW with a lot of YouTubers making content some 3 years (?) ago, then the content suddenly stopped. It was some move the company made which upset the community IIRC. Bitwigs YouTube presence never recovered. Anyone w

Agreed. Looking forward to having this kind of performance at hand for next to no money in 10 years. (Not sarcasm.) Consolidation has gone from having a data center with separate servers for all functions, to consolidating in a couple of ra

Interesting. The more frequent comment in the comments of the article is “if you use swap, you’re doing it wrong”. What is the current status on performance engineering? Is swap commonly disabled? It does help failing faster, may lower late

10-ish 18 month doublings would be around 1000x so it explains a lot.

That is what I’m alluding to. But also, I work in a security aware industry, so those things will be vetted. And my own experience make me address some of the potential concerns already in the POC. The real divide going forward will be betw

Fortunately, science does not rely on the character of its purveyors but on the quality of the evidence.

I hear you are invested in this line of thought, and that is okay. I just don’t agree with the analysis, and not with the labeling.

“It [g] will always be important for moral reasoning as I’m frequently reminded.” Excellent quote! Unfortunately not all high g people engage in moral reasoning, and I fear that they will tend to exploit lower g people, rather than to help

If the pattern generalizes to other tasks, maybe the test was right? ;) Appreciate your post and the post you commented on. Taking shortcuts in test development often ends up being detrimental. There is also an inherent challenge in develop

Working in psychometrics I’m in the somewhat conservative “g is simply shared variance of many tests measuring human abilities”-camp. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1412107?origin=crossref&seq=1 I’m not subscribing t

One is certainly not, unless one is not well read. The g-factor is one of the most stable findings in psychology. It is well established and well defined.

Just to clarify: the prevailing notion in many context were that genetics does not matter and thus given the necessary social and educational interventions every human would prosper. Sadly, this is not the case. We are limited by our biolog

by nialse 1y ago
That is correct. The null hypothesis tested is: if you compensate for everything the result is the same for everyone, given that genetics have no effects on g. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. Thus, mainly genetic factors underlie th

The training effect in test-retest is dependent on g as well. It is intelligent to learn from past experiences. Measuring g is hard and taking shortcuts is tempting. A reasonable repeatable g factor test takes hours, and is too often replac

Counter point: does not nutrition and education help some people more than others? That’s the g factor which is mainly genetic.

by nialse 1y ago
You do have to consider that g is the amount of plasticity though, which is mainly genetic. A better way is to think of it is that genetics provides a potential capacity which may or may not be fulfilled. Training helps individuals to varyi

Do note that The Bell Curve is not considered controversial in general. The part about race and genetics is. Also genes being the sole predictor of IQ is not an accurate description of the book’s premise.

Having unsubstantiated statements in an abstract of a paper is deeply worrying from a scientific standpoint. The methodology in the paper seems ad hoc, sprinkling it with statistics does not help if there is no firm ground to stand on, ie

Time will tell, time will tell. Yes, Apple is using another model right now, but, they desperately need an AI win. Thus, they likely want a “latest and greatest model” and they have the leverage to influence what goes into the model. Due to

Apple using GPT-5 explains quite a lot of the PhD vibe of the model. They have always been notoriously picky with what Siri does and especially what it doesn’t. I bet that Apple had a say in what and how GPT-5 was trained. Might also explai
