No. I think people deserve to know how these things work before you poh on them. I'm sure you know much of this, but the general public does not. There are hundreds of so called "rare variants" of which if you develop something through idiosyncratic mutation ("de novo" as opposed to "germline") which drop your IQ by a substantial amount. This explains almost all of the variance between fraternal siblings. Prior PGS before deep sequencing only identifies common variants, which do not contain useful information, because in general fraternal siblings do not have a lot of variability in their common variant background, which represent their common *ancestral* genetic lineage, and even if they do it's minimally informative on an individual basis. However, things changed in the last 5 years where suddenly a huge amount of deep exome sequencing data emerged, and hundreds of new rare variants are identified, such that the so called "missing variance" that is estimated in twin studies is no longer missing if you tabulated all the rare variants. An intuitive way to think about this is that rare variants are like harmful switches that drop your IQ. And the screens find them if they exist, and hence optimizes offspring IQ within a cohort of possible siblings. The effect of this depends on the common variant background but can be quite substantial. The real controversy is how MUCH that effect is related to the present ancestral background. I.e. if your common variants say you are gonna be IQ 100, even if you don't have any of the harmful rare variants, maybe it won't make much of a difference if you detected a couple. And there are yet not understood nonlinear interactions between common and rare variants, and people are working on this with ML. Also many of us have these rare variants and perhaps have lower IQ than we are "supposed" to have, another poorly understood finding. Nonetheless, the new results are genuinely new and impactful. This is also the same architecture, for highly heritable but "polygenic" psychiatric traits like schizophrenia and autism, and explains much of the "missing variance" in the prior PGS studies. But there seems to be less controversy surrounding the same techniques optimizing for those traits.

@3c685ab5014bb3d @GeneSmi96946389 this is like dunking on americans for fahrenheit while asking what unit celsius uses, you midwit, eh.

@GeneSmi96946389 I fucking love those Internet IQ discussions, SD value or scale name never provided, it's like talking about ambient temperature with Americans, eh.

A friend of mine had her embryos screened by Herasight and they found one with an IQ score in the 99.99th percentile

@SonnyUrsus @ScumRoman @ThatGuyFromHS @ArtemisConsort i could name innumerable things you’ve never heard of and call you a moron for it what’s your point

Mussolini’s last words: “shoot me in the chest” Teddy Roosevelt: gave an hour-long campaign speech with an assassin’s bullet still in him Countless Roman generals: fell on their swords in defeat Dork-ass TV writer: “powerful men all turn into pussies like me when threatened”

@omarkab2 @basil_bobby we call them aliens for a reason

@basil_bobby People who don’t speak english as a first language are extraterrestrial got it 👍

matched with a wholeass extraterrestrial and you're complaining ??

RESIST the urge to teach anything to anyone unless you’re asked.

@pierslangland @justalexoki nothingburger

@justalexoki Accept that it was impossible for it to be otherwise because we are all just spacetime worms in the eternal geometry of the universe which is a 4D spacetime block.

what if u made a really big mistake somewhere in the past and ur not where ur supposed to be

@Angry_Crow24 This is cap, and I've studied Fortnite ass for years. Tracer got a taller ass, But Chun-Li still got the biggest ass in Fortnite. Tracer has the better pants tho, its shiny and goes inside the crack for a better look

@ScoutSzewc @StriderCaptain @punishednuz calling it "transphobia" or "bigotry" skips the whole point. the edits went viral because they show the comic reads cleaner without the extra text and when the artist publicly replies by saying people should feel shame, of course the argument keeps going lol

@ghostfeet30 @StriderCaptain @punishednuz Ok i'll go along with this bs and say the critiques are valid. Alright then why have people done this editing thing for months on end? She got the point after the first round of harrassment. The only reason to continue this is pure bigotry

this is a different joke

@ScoutSzewc @StriderCaptain @punishednuz people mad cause all of the critiques have been valid

@StriderCaptain @punishednuz It's all trasphobia. They don't give a shit about haus's work or schulz's work. They just want to harrass her and see if maybe they can get her to leave the platform or something

what do people talk about if it's not sex or computers or God

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 that doesn’t really answer the question corral

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 Well, that's a good question to ask yourself. Mull it over a bit. Maybe you'll figure it out.

The anti-AI people here, and the "UGH if I must be bothered to point out something so OBVIOUS" tone, are, perhaps ironically, solidifying my expectation of a whole lotta lunch eating coming up in the arts

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 why

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 You're welcome to introspect then. It would certainly be good for you.

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 yes, someone with poor reading comprehension… as @Flow_242 has already pointed out, it might be time for some introspection

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 You'll notice that I commented on his response to another person. His response to that person, coupled with the original tweet, gives the impression he is an "ai bro". And even his original message it's easy to see why someone would think this.

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 corral, you mistook a descriptive claim about perception for a normative claim about value, then blamed him for your reading comprehension problem!

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 it was. Kendric created the problem of people mistaking him for an "ai bro" on his own. If he did not write in the way that he did, and then respond in the way that he did to the people who misunderstood him. He would not have had this issue.

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 the answer is that it wasn’t, corral

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 Yet again, that doesn't answer the question ghost.

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 Since you asked, you’re committing the fallacy of personal incredulity

@ghostfeet30 @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 That doesn't really answer the question ghost

@CorralSummer @Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 retard

@Flow_242 @whitherdrift @kendrictonn @DBach218 Why was his explanation to me completely different then?

Now if I were the clit where would I be…

@justalexoki actually pure mathematicians are even worse since they often think about things that are not of the world and never will be. absolute perverts.

@ReverendNutria @escapefrommelos you don’t need mind-body dualism to argue your point. transgender individuals have different neurobiology

@escapefrommelos When you believe in mind-body dualism, your internal image is totally independent & more reflects the real you than what your actual image is. Therefore, when you strike a blow to that internal image, they see it as just this. A total assault on their person

one of the funniest things about “trans politics” is that they always phrase their demands like they’re being murdered or genocide’d, but when you press them for details you find out its actually that they’re threatening to commit suicide
