Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.
It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.
A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:
Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."
Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.
Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.
Both walk away frustrated.
Both have wasted each others time.

When he was Mr. DOGE, Elon Musk routinely said batshit craxy things, like there are 20 million dead people getting Social Security. And he never corrected himself.l Is there any reason to believe he is more serious in running his businesses?

@mousquitwo @isaiah_bb the models are trained to search the web now and all, but like also Claude 4.7 hallucinated a legal thing and when I asked what specific statute it was referring to it admitted it couldn't find in the law the thing it had told me.
English
@isaiah_bb but that's just correct? anyone who actually uses LLMs knows they barely ever hallucinate now. More often than not if the robot says something that seems ridiculously wrong it's me who's ridiculously wrong

@quantian1 I can think of a second-order way in which a big spaceX exit might help VC outperform public equities
English
US VC is singularly dependent on the SpaceX exit to justify its performance: absent that, it underperformed PE and barely beat public equities. At SpaceX's valuation last year, it was competitive with other illiquids. But at $1.75 trillion, it's by far the best asset class!

@ChadNauseam thank you. I have a whole EC2 instance at work I can ssh/rdp into and I'm pro laptop open for personal stuff.
English
@thechosenberg It's fake for two reasons. First, usually people don't fill the third paragraph with exculpatory evidence for the other person. Second, Reddit doesn't exist in Oklahoma.

I like and respect my indian coworkers and wish my government didn't treat them so terribly.

@jerrrrrrryyyyy This without quarterly layoffs is the dream

This is maybe the best life anyone can have

This might be a hot take but I know someone at meta who makes $400k a year and is quite literally capped at that number for life - likely will never get a promotion strong enough to change that. 9-5 until they’re what, 50? This is not living. No matter the salary.

this is literally the first time ive ever seen this article cited positively

This would be a good time to read this article from The Atlantic.

@TheBiggestYonk @jasonc_nc Maybe you'd be able to afford it and as a bonus not choke on gas fumes if you didn't shut down all your nuclear energy facilities for no reason
English
@jasonc_nc That energy bill is going to hit her like a fucking Nuclear Warhead lmao
There is a reason why only 13% of German Households have ACs like she does, because we all just get a fucking fan instead.

“As a red-blooded American I refuse to suffer when I can pay for a solution” stirs my heart.

@jamespswag Ohhhh now that you mention it it gives Newton

@ryxcommar watertown has come so far people are making it aesthetic 😭😭. although second pic looks more like newton around comm ave

brother this is literally just Watertown, Massachusetts
Mountain Cabins@cabinsmountain
The kind of neighborhood where you accidentally romanticize your entire life.
English
actually I'm guessing first pic is Medford or West Somerville based on the short setback, second pic has Waltham or Malden vibes because it's a New England suburb with inexplicably unnecessarily winding street. But the average of those two things is Watertown.

My wife has enlisted me in her plan to walk the length of Manhattan on Memorial Day. Anything we should do or eat on this route? I rarely go north of 110th.

@mattyglesias I love the discourse happening here. Right-wing commentator asks his fellow patriots to blame the listless teachers unions instead of immigration policy, describes immigrants as "helping" America.
English
I feel like if people move here from abroad and get high-paid jobs and pay taxes that's good?

A million people have rightly dunked on this guy, & I don’t care, I’m going to do it too, bc these people should have their catastrophic and massively consequential failures in judgement shoved in their faces forever. Sometimes a dog doesn’t learn unless you rub it’s face in it.

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

@jstn I feel like there's difference between training a neural network to detect patterns in text vs using the output of some LLM to write your wedding vows and cheat on your homework.

i truly can't understand being AI skeptical and finding any value in AI detection by AI

@justalexoki if you're not writing at least some code your brain will be mashed potatoes in about a year

if you're still writing code you're unironically falling behind
@levelsio@levelsio
I don't write code anymore I haven't written code in I think 6 months? I think everyone is like this no?

@fayesterweb @BuckOnTwidder i said base because job postings dont mention RSUs. i am arguing because you made a dumb take. the people making $500k got their RSUs at 2023 prices.
English
@ryxcommar @BuckOnTwidder No one said anything about base only but surely that doesn’t make up the bulk of everyone’s TC. also why do you want to die on this hill
