As someone who is (was?) fairly good at chess because I grinded it in chess clubs as a kid, I can tell you that all the books are pretty useless and you just need to practice. You CAN memorize common openings if you want, but I am not sure

The sensor you linked is limited to SEAD missions in most occasions. I am going to admit to moving the bar - but at this point you have MIG-31s in the air looking for SEAD and taking down any AWACS.

1. These were US missiles. 2. Russian government officials stated they would shoot them down. 3. Russia had NOTHING to lose by shooting down missiles in defense of an ally, e.g. no political risk. 4. Russia had everything to gain by demonst

1. Let's stop re-explaining how radar works as an argument, everyone gets it. For those who don't - radar works like turning on a flashlight, end of story. 2. Non-SEAD RWR is generally limited to "There is light shining on me

Detected with what, AWACS? Do you know how big those radar signatures are?

I am with computerex. Your explanations are extremely simplistic and biased. S400s can toggle on and off, share data, have Pantsir systems around them, etc. You ignore the same problems with air platforms emitting. Your claim about detectin

I don't agree with all the bashing of the S-400 here, but Russian performance has been "disappointing" in terms of demonstrating combat capability. "The obvious question that remains unanswered is whether Russia chose no

I got that much from the article. Was interested into factors that got into it. Also "machine learning" is generally a cop-out term, what's your training set, etc, or is even a broad answer proprietary??

"Money isn’t a magical cure all." Yes it is. Workout. Dress well. Eat right. Learn things. Time to do so. Also, I called out $400,000 a year, not $2000.

1. If you have enough money to throw around $2,000, you should be able to invest in yourself enough to get real attention, not buy it. If you can't, due to some dysfunction, that's sad. Not sad in a derogatory sense, but sad in th

Correct. It was just an example that came to mind. There are plenty of streets, statues, etc dedicated to scientists however.

The USSR also glorified scientists to a degree that is unheard of in the US. While people here grew up with Martin Luther King Ave, the USSR kids grew up with Yuri Gagarin street. Furthermore, phds were available to people besides wealthy k

flatMap is always so unituitive (not a word) for me for some reason. I messed with it a bunch in C#'s LINQ and RxJS and I already forgot the purpose. Not sure what it is that makes it so unnatural for me.

Right. That's a huge problem even when trying to figure out if your IQ changed over time. Even with Raven's progressive matrices, just knowing roughly what type of manipulations can be done to the shapes can help a lot with your s

The ASVAB can be studied for and grinded, though, like the SAT , it would require more effort with a low IQ. Iirc the breadth is less than the SAT. Is there another test you are referring to in terms of this "IQ test proxy"? For

I am not fully following what you are saying. Let's see if we actually disagree. Intelligence has two parts: 1. Crystallized intelligence - essentially your knowledge / what you have memorized (including useful heuristics, experie

1. You may want to choose a less intellectually rigorous career if your IQ is low. Or you might get an early warning to work on factors you can control - for example the ability to focus, getting enough sleep, etc. 2. "With enough time

Raw capability has nothing to do with how that capability is applied. IQ is supposed to measure raw capability. Especially tests such as Raven's which focus on fluid intelligence.

I agree with you 100%, but I think it's better to 'choose' to believe you can do better, despite knowing, factually, that you are just a product of your environment. In other words, "I can improve myself" is a pragm
