@Kongyiji89 @rothbardDK Dit argument her er, at fordi vi ligger lidt længere tilbage på kurven men med samme destination, så er det fint, fordi nogle steder er værre?

@rothbardDK Hahaha jaja. Omend vi har vores problemer i DK, er vi dog heldigvis ikke Sverige, Frankrig, UK eller Tyskland🤣

Når det går op for én, at remigration ingenting fylder i valgkampen, og at der er ca. 0 % sandsynlighed for, at en kommende regering for alvor får strammet udlændingepolitikken.

@claus76thomsen @taussoe @rikkestenpigen Ved du ikke, hvad det vil sige at have principper?

@taussoe @rikkestenpigen Så det må godt koste men en skat vil du ikke betale. For en fattigrøv som mig giver det nul mening.

Jeg synes simpelthen det er så rablende dumt, at venstrefløjen vil indføre formueskat! Man betaler jo for hæwle allerede skat af ALT hvad man tjener. Hvis Preben skal betale 150.000 i formueskat, så er han tvunget til at trække meget mere end det ud af sin virksomhed. For han skal jo betale udbytteskat af pengene, før han kan betale formueskat af resten. Jamen altså🤦🏼‍♀️💸 Hvorfor kan ALLE ikke se, hvor ubegribeligt tåbeligt, det er?!

@tastedthefruit Better than ever. But people don’t care. As far as they are concerned, their cash works. And they don’t care that the system is corrupt/rigged. They just want a larger piece of the pie than the next guy.

10-year-old #Nano, $XNO: no fees, under 1 sec transactions, energy efficient, decentralized, fair and fully distributed coins with market cap of just ~$91 million. Is there no hope for true supporters of cryptocurrency fundamentals or am I just dumb?

@kurtarilmisulke @EvelinaHahne Ironically, women are responsible as women overwhelmingly voted for policies that caused the situation.

My husband and I are looking for a place to settle and buy a house in the coming years. Our parents only had to worry about the house, but for us (and all Swedes) it’s about avoiding immigrant-heavy areas so our children can live safely. That’s very hard to find in Sweden today.

@cremieuxrecueil Doesn’t this also imply that you cannot compare results across regions just as you cannot compare cohorts across time? Further, doesn’t this imply that you cannot trust the tests ability to accurately measure g? Environment and experience will always matter.

Here are the IQ scores of Norwegian conscripts over time. From the '50s to the '90s, they rose by over 10 points. Then, they started falling. Why? It's tempting to chalk this up to Norwegians getting smarter in the past and getting dumber now, but that's not supported. Look at how results have trended by subtest: When it comes to figural tests like the Raven's Matrices, the Flynn Effect has been particularly large. This is not unexpected: it's generally observed elsewhere, too! A likely explanation is that figural tests are very rule-dependent. You can actually teach someone the rules of these tests and boost their performance by more than a standard deviation, and it just so happens that society has adopted leisure technologies and teaching methods that have helped people to learn said rules. When it comes to those tests, the scores haven't fallen more recently. The decline is only on the verbal test, which rose substantially, and in mathematics, which never rose by a lot and is now worse than in 1957. So, did the population get smarter than get dumber? The answer to that is "no." The parameters of the test battery changed. That is, people across different birth cohorts do not interpret the tests in the same ways as their forebears. We have a very direct indication of this in the factor loadings (regression coefficients on a latent variable): when those differ between groups, it means that the tests are not being interpreted the same way, and indeed, they are not! The intercepts for these tests are also not comparable over time, so the level of performance is not comparable. Moreover, the tests were even differentially reliable for different birth cohorts, meaning that there were different influences on test performance over time. To put a pin in this: "Overall, the Flynn effect, and the Flynn reversal argued for with these data reflect an increase in the test-specific ability of figure matrices reasoning, not the variance explained by the GMA factor, and the Flynn reversal reflects reductions in test specific abilities in the word similarities and the math tests.... Observed increases and subsequent decreases in intelligence scores do not reflect changes in latent intelligence." The field has known that this explains the bulk of the Flynn Effect since about 2004 when Jelte Wicherts showed that comparisons over time were biased, and thus could not be interpreted in common. A flurry of follow-on work came out and it became abundantly clear to anyone who was listening (very few people): the Flynn effect might have a real component to it, but it is overwhelmingly attributable to test bias. In fact, it is so overwhelmingly attributable to test bias that you usually cannot discern a meaningful component, even with samples in the low thousands. But, did the public's perception of the Flynn Effect change? Did people understand that people nowadays are effectively taking a different test with results that cannot be compared to the results of earlier cohorts taking the test? No, absolutely not! People have totally failed to update! There are frequent news pieces saying that IQs are up or down—no awareness of the role of psychometric bias. There are frequent blogposts from prominent writers talking about the same things—again, zero awareness. Pundits talk about the Flynn Effect as if it's a reason to think that the rank-orders or mean differences in ability between groups of people will change, when that also hasn't been the case. They're high on hope! There are even research papers that suppose something to do with the Flynn Effect which is ruled out by the fact that it's driven by psychometric bias! There is a cargo cult of the Flynn Effect. Despite growing mountains of evidence, people refuse to update. They cling to dated interpretations of the data; they endlessly cite the same points—'IQs up; IQs down!'—and they refuse to get serious, so progress in understanding goes so much slower than it should.* Once the public has anchored to a conclusion, no matter how absurd, it takes enormous effort to get their views to change. Perhaps they never should have heard about the Flynn Effect in the first place. To learn more, see the following: cremieux.xyz/p/the-demise-o… cremieux.xyz/p/subscriber-p… aporiamagazine.com/p/bias-is-ofte… cremieux.xyz/p/national-iqs… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… cremieux.xyz/p/a-requiem-fo… * Maybe. Popular interest being based on a misconception that some people like and some people dislike rather than the boring facts of psychometric incomparability may provide reasons to fund this research that the boring conclusion does not. I'm not sold on this possibility and I think the public being misinformed is still very bad, so I don't take this argument very seriously.

@blezedk @societyguidebk Hvorvidt mit arbejde sker under offentlig eller privat ansættelse ændrer ikke på ydelsen/værdien. At visse sektorer og funktioner hører under det offentlige er et samfundsmæssigt valg. Hvorfor skulle en offentlig ansættelse gøre en mindre berettiget til indflydelse i samfundet?

@blezedk @societyguidebk Det er en tankegang, jeg er lidt nysgerrig på. Jeg arbejder i sundhedsvæsenet og er derfor offentligt ansat. Min løn og formentlig også arbejdsvilkår ville være bedre, hvis sundhedsvæsenet var privat. Til gengæld ville tilbuddet kun eksistere for dem, som kan betale.

Det er at tage dybt pis på det arbejdende folk, at børn der stadig bor hjemme og får deres vasketøj ordnet af mor, skal være med til at bestemme hvordan deres surt indtjente skattekroner skal disponeres! Valgretsalderen er i forvejen for lav. Man har slet ikke nok livserfaring som 18-årig, til at have dette ansvar. At sænke den til 15 år er dybt uansvarligt.

@harman_nano Are they? Not to my knowledge. One (big) step closer and almost there AFAIK.

$xno The Nano devs are touting v28 of the node software as commercial grade. What are people’s expectations for this milestone with regards to price action?

@ASK_MSK I wasn’t expecting this reply but sure am glad to hear it. It has been my own conclusion for the past year but this post just made me question it again.

@CuriousityI The more you learn about AI you realise it's not a replacement. It will change our way of work, that's for sure. Hopefully more meaningful patient and colleague interactions, more interventions

Cool thing with OpenAI's new model o3 is you can now see it analyze different parts of the scan and it's thought process while it does so, just like a radiologist! It's not a model specifically trained for radiology, still I would put it at the level of a 2nd year radiology resident. Gets some very difficult cases right but also gets some simple ones wrong. I tested it on about 20 cases, some online and most from my personal case library which I have not posted online previously. One more cool thing it did is it tried to measure the HU value of a lesion by itself on a CT neck image when trying to diagnose it. It knew it was a PNG and not DICOM still it gave it a try. You can also see the code it's writing for itself while it's doing this. Amazing! Also for me the first large reasoning model to get a myositis ossificans case correct. Fun times ahead !

@theseeker @ColinLeMahieu @elonmusk He’s standing up for what’s right. As you should.

@ColinLeMahieu @elonmusk Colin, stop. You are hurting Nano's chances, for absolutely nothing.

What I said over 2 years ago was that Ukraine should seek peace or suffer severe loss of life for no gains. The latter was Zelensky’s choice. Now, he wants to do that again. This is cruel and inhumane.

@hottytoddymed @radiologistpage The “you should stop training radiologists”/“AI will replace radiologist any time now” viewpoints from prominent computer scientists.

@CuriousityI @radiologistpage Angry about what exactly?

The whole world: AI is going to take your job Radiologists:

@Yeicrypto Uh, maybe/probably at some point to some degree. These last legs of major development is more interesting. Adoption is far more important.

The $XNO bullrun will start:

@pwojcikdev Thank you for your invaluable contributions, Piotr.

It was great to see and talk with everyone in person! Development discussions truly are best after a few beers. Thanks!

@nano @pwojcikdev @gschauwecker @gr0vity_dev @ColinLeMahieu Thank you for all your hard work! World class team of volunteers developing the money of tomorrow for a better future.

We so enjoyed our team meetup last night in Luxembourg City! Big thank you to Rui, @pwojcikdev @gschauwecker @gr0vity_dev @ColinLeMahieu & George for getting together. Thank you also to all the community members who joined us, both familiar faces and new. Prost! 🍻 $XNO

@ASK_MSK I realize you already mentioned this point. And maybe there are indeed other specialties / professions better guarded against replacement. Admittedly, I second-guess my choice of specialty (still in training) daily.

@ASK_MSK With AGI / ASI, is any profession safe? Is there anything unique to radiology except perhaps slightly faster replacement by AI? What are humans even good for in the work environment in that scenario?
